I tried to convert the LilyPond 1.x definition for flat

The following 3 versions are all  wrong:


#define ( flat (  \musicglyph #"accidentals-1" ) )

flat = \musicglyph #"accidentals-1"

Is it really so complicated ? And how to use the "font-relative-size"

HI,

Just a small question why is scheme stuff used for making accidentals?
I thought that a note c would become cis for a sharp and ces for a flat 
or a double sharp cisis etc.

I want to make chord annotations C#7

Ok, I know there is a LilyPond inherent chord system. 
Unfortunately, for some reason,  I can't use it. I'll
set the chord names as orinary uptext.

The way text markup is handled has changed drastically, too. See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/
Text-markup.html

What you want is probably
flat = \markup { \raise #0.2 \smaller \musicglyph #"accidentals--2" }

Re: More lyrics-related questions

2004-01-12 Thread Mats Bengtsson
No, not at the moment. Of course, you could add spaces at the end
of a syllable to fool LilyPond into thinking it's longer:
\lyrics { a "long " word } or \lyrics{ a long_ word }
Send it as a feature request to bug-lilypond if you think it's
an important feature to add to the program.

Carl Youngblood wrote:
In the piece I'm working on there are some eighth notes that have lyrics 
underneath them.  For notes that have longer words under them, more 
space is created to accommodate the longer word.  This makes the 
distance between the notes uneven and doesn't look as good, in my 
opinion.  Is there a way to make it so that if one word widens the note 
distance, all the notes in the same beam are widened to even out the 
note spacing?

Thanks,

Re: Stave continues forever...

2004-01-12 Thread Mats Bengtsson
As has already been answered, you can insert a \break to
force a line break. Note, however, that LilyPond will only
consider breaking lines where you have a bar line. So, if
you are typesetting a cadenza or something else without
regular bar lines, you may have to insert a blank bar line
where you want the break: \bar ""

I took your code, added \score {\notes{  }} around it, and ran "convert-ly -f 
1.6" on it :). Here's the result, which works:

\score {
\notes {
g #(ly:export (make-span-event 'TextSpanEvent START)) g #(ly:export 
(make-span-event 'TextSpanEvent STOP))
}

However, this is probably not the way you're supposed to do, I would guess 
that the following is what you really want to look at:

Re: Printing onto A3

2004-01-12 Thread Ralph Little
Hi,
To answer my own question and for the benefit of others:

I found an interesting idea on somebody's website:
http://gem.win.co.nz/mb/misc/shellcmds.txt along with some other
interesting PS type jobs.

At the bottom, there is mention of some tools from the psutils package,
namely psbook and psnup.

I will look into this, when I get chance.

I quote:

===
Generate postscript file in signature (2x A5 pages to A4):
cat _a.ps |psbook |psnup -pa4 -s1 -2 >pa.ps

Print odd pages:
psselect -o pa.ps >pa_o.ps

Print even pages:
psselect -e pa.ps >pa_e.ps

Print A5 booklet on A4 duplex on HP5Si:
cat book.ps |psbook |psnup -pa4 -s1 -2 |\
lpr -Plp2o -J 'PageSize:A4 Duplex:DuplexTumble'

Print A4 booklet on A3 duplex on HP5Si:
cat book.ps |psbook |psnup -pa3 -s1 -2 |\
lpr -Plp2o -J 'PageSize:A3 Duplex:DuplexTumble'

===

Thank you again. 
Unfortunately, it does not create a wavy line. But I'll leave all untouched.
If somebody has any suggestions let me know.

noteedit-2.4.0 is (seems to be) LilyPond -2.x compatible

Other new features:

  - Spanish GUI translation (thanks to Daniel Tonda Castillo)
  - a terrible slur bug which prohibited even restorage of some
  *.not files is (hopefully) fixed
  - improvements in MusicXML import (Thanks to Leon Vinken)

SUSE 9, Lilypond 1.8.1

2004-01-12 Thread Suzanne E. Blatt

Howdy,

I've recently upgraded to SUSE 9 which came with Lilypond 1.8.1.  Problem is, it won't 
run.  I get the following error message when I type 'lilypond'

GNU LilyPond 1.8.1ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path:

Can someone tell me where to locate lily.scm or how I can specify my 
'primitive-load-path' to make Lilypond work?

This seems to have dropped from the documentation when 'type was
renamed to 'style.

Try:

   \relative c' {  c1
   \property Voice.TextSpanner \set #'style = #'trill
c2\startTextSpan b c\stopTextSpan a
   }

Btw, if you need it for trills, see the trill.ly entry at:

Re: jazz articulations - fall

2004-01-12 Thread Ralph Little
Hi,
I tried this, and they look cool.
In addition to what Rune wrote:

sright = {
\once \property Voice.scriptHorizontal = ##t
\once \property Voice.TextScript \override #'direction = #right
>>\once \property Voice.TextScript \override #'padding = #0.5
}

...I found that changing the padding to 0.5 gets the fall closer to the
note and looks cooler.

Added line might not be quite right although I tried it at home, but I'm
at work and haven't gat facilities to try it and make sure.
Echoing what chip says, it would be kinda cool to have it implemented
internally. Perhaps I'll have a look at it

Regards,
Ralph

Re: Lyrics too far from notes

2004-01-12 Thread Mats Bengtsson
The property setting means that the lyrics is typeset within a rectangle
that extends at least 3 units down (that's that -3) and 3 units up
elative to the baseline of the lyrics. This rectangle is then put next
to the rectangle where the stave is typeset (see Documentation ->
Program reference ->Translation -> Contexts -> Staff for information on
the smallest size of that rectangle). So, if you want the lyrics closer
to the staves, you can decrease the verticalExtent in the both the
Staff context and the LyricsVoice context (note that your setting
actually increases the spacing compared to the default).

someone please explain how to fix this?  I would like to be able to 
tweak each piece of lyrics on an individual basis if possible.  I've 
tried the suggested minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-3 . 3) but this doesn't 
make much of a difference and I can't figure out how to make it more 
drastic.  What do the -3 and 3 mean?

Thanks,
Carl

In that case, you should report a bug with SuSE, who seem to have made
an error in packaging Lilypond.

melisma problem

2004-01-12 Thread Stan Sanderson
lilypond v2.1.6

4/4 time, end of piece:
note1( note1 note8) r r4 r2 R1 \bar "|."
lyric:
word--.
The last syllable of a hyphenated word begins on the first whole note.
I have a similar situation earlier, except that the notes are two whole 
notes tied together.
The following works for the earlier occurrence:
   word1.__ _.2
and provides a melisma which extends nearly to the end of the measure, 
followed by a space and finally, a period.

I have tried the same arrangement with the problem segment, i.e.,
   word1.__ _.2 \skip1 \skip1
and have tried other variations of similar timing.
The output is a melisma which ends at approximately the first beat of 
the second whole note, followed by a large blank space and a period 
approximately centered in the measure.

Suggestions would be much appreciated.

Stan

Re: Full size clef

The predefined \endincipit macro seems to work in 2.0, see

Or to put the question another way, how, in 2.0, does one tell Lily to
make a second clef be full-sized, and not smaller than the first
clef?  I need this for anything that's going to indicate the original
clef in an incipit.

Debian (Sid) packages for Lilypond 2.1.8

2004-01-12 Thread Pedro Kroger
Hi all,

Debian Sid packages (binary and sources) of Lilypond 2.1.8 are
available from my website:

http://www.pedrokroeger.net/lilypond/

They're also apt-gettable adding the following line to sources.list:

deb http://www.pedrokroeger.net/lilypond/ ./
deb-src http://www.pedrokroeger.net/lilypond/ ./

And running the commands:

apt-get update
apt-get install lilypond
(or apt-get install lilypond=2.1.8-1 in some cases)

Check the readme file for some random tips:

Nice! It works! Thanks.
Now my problem is more a question of style than really a problem... is
it not possible to include almost that code on a separate file? (and,
shouldn't that file be included in lilypond distro?).

Just by 5 euro cents ;)

Hi again.
I'm typesetting four hands music and it is common to have before the
piano stave the string 'Primo' and 'Secondo'

I've tried:
\score{
\context PianoStaff <<
\property Staff.instrument = "Primo " 
\context Staff = up\primoUp
\context Dynamics = dynamics \primoDynamics
\context Staff = down  \primoDown
>>
..

and some other combinations but I can't put it OK. Ideas?

Put it into an existing staff. If you have a staff, say
\context Staff {...music...}

then change this to:
\context Staff <<
  \repeat \unfold 7 {\repeat \unfold 3 {s1 \noBreak } s1 \break }
  {...music...}

Re: Forced # of measures per system?

2004-01-12 Thread Kieren Richard MacMillan
Hello, Carl:

How do you force lilypond to use a certain number of measures per  
system?
Basically, you "superimpose" the break rules on the existing music,  
using \simultaneous, the short-hand << >>, or some other method --  
here's one example from the online docs:

For linebreaks at regular intervals  use \break separated by skips and  
repeated with \repeat:
 <<  \repeat unfold 7 { s1 * 4 \break  }
the real music
 >>

See  
 for more details.

Hope this helps!

hairpins to end-of-measure

2004-01-12 Thread Kieren Richard MacMillan
[ Mac OS X 10.2.8;  Lilypond 2.0.1 ]

Hello, all --

I'm trying to engrave hairpins which end at the end of a measure (i.e., 
rather than the downbeat of the following measure), and was wondering 
two things:

1. Is there a shorter way of getting the hairpins to extend to the very 
end of the measure than to use a bunch of \skip durations?
2. If not, does the addition of all those \skip durations affect the 
spacing of the measure at all? (From an informal visual survey, I would 
say no, but I'd like confirmation/proof.)

Thanks!
Kieren.

I'd be happy to. AFAIK, the only difference between the 2 versions
(besides the fact that one was compiled in the stable debian while the
other in unstable) is package dependencies. An user had some problems
with python, for instance. AFAICR, you're running a "mixed" debian
right? Maybe some package can/has to be updated.

To be truly honest, I haven't updated the packages dependencies
requirements. I'm going to do it ASAP, maybe that will help.

Could you run lilypond with -v from the shell (and not from emacs) and
send the output?

Pedro

Thanks Feri.  I'm new to Wiki style collaboration.  Yesterday I spent a
little time looking around the Wiki you set up and the documentation on
how it works and how it is intended to be used.  It looks like it has
good potential for expanding on the existing doc's in a way that
complements them.  I also noticed that the lily doc' pages all have
links to the Wiki.  That was fast!  As I find things that are unclear
(at least to me) I'll contribute some examples to the Wiki as I figure
things out.

Thanks for setting it up and thanks to Han-Wen for getting the links to
the Wiki up so fast.

publishing the lilypond essay

2004-01-12 Thread Eric Ries
Greetings. I am a big fan of GNU Lilypond, as well as a fellow hacker, so I
wanted to write in with some kudos for a job very well done. Recently, I've
been looking into publishing some sheet music books, and plan to use
Lilypond for the engraving. I had two questions (and here's hoping this is
the right address to send to).

First, I was wondering if you have a version of your online essay
http://lilypond.org/web/about/automated-engraving/ that you'd like
published. I'd like to give credit to the Lilypond team, and also explain to
our readers why the engraving is of such high quality. My first thought was
to reproduce your essay (verbatim or condensed) in each edition. What do you
think? Do you have a PDF version of it already?

Second, I work on this project with several people who have a very keen eye
for typesetting and musical notation (alas, I am not one myself). I was
curious if this is the right place to send in errors or suggested
corrections that they catch in the output of Lilypond. I'm fluent in C++ and
python, so with some orientation I may be able to help contribute fixes. Is
there someone in particular I should talk to about this? I'd hate to be
submitting things that are either not actual bugs or redundant known issues.

Thanks,

Eric

I would agree with this *to a point*.

However, for my own learning curve -- especially when I'm a newbie in 
some field -- I find it useful to see "real-world" examples, which 
almost by definition will include tens (if not hundreds) of 
tips/tricks/techniques working together towards a well-defined, 
"useful" goal. Being shown how a bolt fits into a nut is one thing; 
seeing fourteen bolt-and-nut combos combined with three pieces of 
dovetail-joined wood and a leather strap to make a portable bookcase 
can often be more instructive to many people.

Unfortunately, these "intermediate examples" are much more difficult to 
develop properly than simple "one-trick ponies" -- I know, having been 
involved in training and materials development for many years -- but 
that fact should not deter us from doing our best.

Hopefully, we (the Lilypond community) can work together to make sure 
as many different "instructive" examples as possible **of differing 
complexities** are available, so that the greatest number of learners 
can take the fullest advantage of Lilypond in the shortest period of 
time.

Onward and upward!
Kieren.

cd /home/paul/music/pima/
lilypond /home/paul/music/pima/dy1r1.ly
lilypond (GNU LilyPond) 2.1.8
lilypond: error: `/usr/bin/lilypond-bin --version ' failed (132)
2Dvi exited abnormally with code 1 at Mon Jan 12 15:31:15

   

I'm sorry to hear that.

 

Maybe you could compare notes with Ferenc and figure this out.
   

I'd be happy to. AFAIK, the only difference between the 2 versions
(besides the fact that one was compiled in the stable debian while the
other in unstable) is package dependencies. An user had some problems
with python, for instance. AFAICR, you're running a "mixed" debian
right? Maybe some package can/has to be updated.
 

My system is now strictly unstable.

I was wrong.  This is not an emacs problem.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/music/pima$ lilypond -V dy1r1.ly

   raise _ ('Exiting (%d)...') % i

To be truly honest, I haven't updated the packages dependencies
requirements. I'm going to do it ASAP, maybe that will help.
 

Thanks.  Lets see what happens.

Could you run lilypond with -v from the shell (and not from emacs) and
send the output?
 

That is answered above.

Thanks,

Paul

Did you try to use "\property PianoStaff.instrument"?
