Re: using the devel version
If possible, I recommend to directly to a more recent development version like 2.1.36 or wait a few weeks for the next stable version, 2.2.

Re: Guitar String Numbers
No! First of all, \center-align only works within a single markup and
makes sure that if you have several lines in your markup, these will
be aligned to each other.
This works for some reason, with one line in the markup:
cs'4^\markup{\center-align <\italic \bold "8va - - - - - "> }
I stay corrected! This happens since TextScripts don't fiddle with
the alignment themselves. If you use the same thing together with
\mark, you will not get any difference between
\mark \markup{ \center-align <\italic \bold "8va - - - - - "> }
and
\mark \markup{ \italic \bold "8va - - - - - " }
since the full rehearsal marks is centered above the bar line
by default.
and \box does indeed box whatever you have without moving it to
the right. Maybe that has something to do with \box being
able to use the bounding box of the letter without running into
others?
The \box command draws the box according to how large LilyPond thinks
the content is. This is an excellent method to find out how LilyPond
guesses the extent of a markup with embedde LaTeX command. Try for
example
\markup{ \box "\\textcircled{\\tiny 8}" }
to see exactly how LilyPond fails to calculate the correct size and
position of the circled number. If center the box, you'll get the box
centered and the circled number misplaced exactly as much as it would
be without the box.

Looking more closely at the results, \markup centers the left edge of the circle over the center of the note. Plain latex puts the left edge of the circle over the left edge of the note, so there is a small difference. \center-align with \markup, puts the right edge of the circle over the center of the note(!), which is often a quite tolerable situation. Plain latex with backspaces can center the circle quite well, and hspace can tweak it too, but I didn't test that. There is a problem with circling two letters, as (La). I don't know whether anyone wants to do that. daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?

Basically, slope := 0.6 * tanh (slope) / damping; but it is possible that the beam-quanting will obscure the result of the damping. Nevertheless, it seems to do something over here. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

relative mode in the case of tritones
Hi All, I have a question about how tritones are treated in relative octave mode. The manual says that by default each interval is made to be a fourth or less. What happens in the case of a tritone? Is an augmented fourth treated differently than a diminished fifth, or is it enharmonic? AFAICT right now, tritones just go upward automatically -- is that always true? Obviously I could just experiment, but I'd like to suggest clarifying the documentation, and I also have a parser I've written for a subset of the lilypond language (for this program: http://www.lightandmatter.com/clamor/clamor.html), and I want to make sure that what it's doing is really consistent with what lilypond does. Thanks in advance! ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Difficulties to start
Hi All, I am a very newbie in using linux (suse 9.0). I wanted to print shiny scores with lilypond 1.8.1 from the Suse-distribution. I typed a test-file and tried to run ly2dvi -p test.ly, but the machine replied : Traceback (most recent call last); File "usr/bin/ly2dvi", line 194, in? import lilylib as ly Import Eror: No module named lilylib Can anybody help me and tell me what went wrong? Please do not answer too laconic because I am really an absolute beginner with linux.

I don't have the docs in front of me at the moment, but I'm sure this is mentioned. It *should* be that it follows the "closest note within a fourth" rule. And the "fourth" can be perfect, augmented, or diminished. So: c fes c f c fis All go up. In each case the closest f(es, is) is some sort of fourth above c. In these cases: c gis c g c ges All go down because g(es, is) is some sort of fourth below c. I just woke up, I hope I'm making sense. -David ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
