Question re lilypond
Hi, folks! I've known about lilypond for quite some time, but have only recently started using it, mostly because I'm *not* a computer geek -- my son is. But of course getting him to do any coding for his old man -- well, that never happens. (Actually, he's a good kid, and has kept my computer system running well for many years.) Anyway, I have a question re lilypond coding. If you like, I will send you my input files for you to look at, and perhaps suggest code I can use. Every time I try some of the suggestions from the web-site, they screw up my piece. I have two questions: 1. How can one put tempo markings at the beginning of a piece? And how do I do it in the middle, as well. For example, how would I put "Moderato" at the top of the piece, "Slower" a bit later, and "A Tempo" a bit later still? 2. I've tried all the code on your web-site to put chord symbols above my staffs. With no success. They seem to want to be below the staff but above the words on a song-sheet. Or it wants to print a separate staff with the actual chord triads as well as the chord symbols. I would just like the chords above the staff! How do I do this? Hope you can help. What you have works well for me so far, except for the above. Blessings, Rev. Gordon Gilbert Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada +=+ | Angels' Roost Farm | | Rev. Dn.

Every time I try some of the suggestions from the web-site, they screw up my piece. I have two questions: You don't say what version of LilyPond you use. Please always do that when sending question to the mailing list, otherwise you may get an answer that's not relevant for your version. Also, when you read the documentation on the web site, make sure to read the documentation corresponding to your version of the program, otherwise it will probably not work. 1. How can one put tempo markings at the beginning of a piece? And how do I do it in the middle, as well. For example, how would I put "Moderato" at the top of the piece, "Slower" a bit later, and "A Tempo" a bit later still? To typeset some text on top of a note, read about Text Scripts in the manual. Examples: c4^"Moderato" c4^\markup{ \large Moderato } To typeset some text over a bar line or at the very beginning of a piece, read the section on 2. I've tried all the code on your web-site to put chord symbols above my staffs. With no success. They seem to want to be below the staff but above the words on a song-sheet. Or it wants to print a separate staff with the actual chord triads as well as the chord symbols. I would just like the chords above the staff! How do I do this? The basic idea is very simple, the output is ordered in the same order as it first appears in the \score{...} section of your file. So, if you want the chords above the music, make sure that you have the \context ChordNames{...} before the \context Voice or \context Staff I recommend to use the Templates from the web page as a starting point (integrated into a chapter called "Example templates" in the manual from version 2.4).

attachment-offset at slurs
Hello list, meanwhile I'm using lilypond-snapshot 2.4.1. The standard-solution for slurs is very fine so far. :-) Nevertheless I'm missing the attachment-offset, which was implemented with lilypond 2.2.6 (or earlier?), and which I found (together with ratio and height-limit) the very best solution to fine-tune the slurs. (You can have a look at it on http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=489 where the score has very much slurs and the whole output is nearly like a copy of the original, and without all possibilities of fine-tuning slurs in 2.2.6 this wouldn't have been possible.) Now with 2.4.1 I've tried to manipulate with slur-details as described in the documentation, but without any real success, because it is very, very ugly for a not-programmer like me, if there doesn't exists a detailled explanation. :-( \override Voice.Slur #'slur-details = #'((region-size . 4) (head-encompass-penalty . 1000.0) (stem-encompass-penalty . 30.0) (closeness-factor . 10) (edge-attraction-factor . 4) (same-slope-penalty . 20) (steeper-slope-factor . 50) (non-horizontal-penalty . 15) (max-slope . 1.1) (max-slope-factor . 10) (free-head-distance . 0.3) (free-slur-distance . 0.8) (extra-object-collision . 50) (accidental-collision . 3) (extra-encompass-free-distance . 0.3) (head-slur-distance-max-ratio . 3) (head-slur-distance-factor . 10) (absolute-closeness-measure . 0.3) (edge-slope-exponent . 1.7)) Is there another explanation-place in the documentation, which I didn't find? Otherwise I would beg for re-implementing the attachment-offset. :) (Or perhaps it could be re-implemented in every case?) Thanks for any help!

trouble with printing .ps
Hello list, meanwhile I'm using lilypond-snapshot 2.4.1 and 2.4.2. With both of them I've the same trouble at printing. The barlines at the beginning of the staves and the braces (and sometimes the ledgerlines) are not printed correctly at printing the ps-file. At printing the pdf-file there's all correct.

MIDI and rests?
Hi all, I don't know if this has been noted before... but I searched the mails that I have, and I've looked in the documentation of both Lilypond and Timidity... I'm busy generating MIDI files for people in my choir, to aid in studying pieces. I usually edit the notes per voice in a separate file, which I inlude in 2 .ly files (one for PDF and one for MIDI, although I know that one would suffice). Sometimes, not all the voices start singing at the same time, so I have to use rests in the music to get the voices to line up correctly. When I use Timidity to convert Lily's .midi files to raw audio format, there is no silence at the start, making combining the seperate voice in Audicity a lot harder. Are the rests not output to the MIDI file by Lilypond, or are the rests skipped by Timidity when generating the output?
