Lilypond 2.4 is in the stable tree, so you shouldn't have had to install
from the fink unstable tree...

My lilypond is installed in /sw/bin. It should be there for you as well...

$ which lilypond   <-- This command
/sw/bin/lilypond<--- gives this output on my system.

Hope you get it working!

Problem running configure with 2.4.2 (ec-fonts-mftraced)

2004-12-12 Thread Luis G.
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Hi! :-)

I am trying to install lilypond version 2.4.2 (I currently have 2.2.0),
but can't finish "configure" correctly. After downloading and installing
everything needed (I think... :-)), I get this message:

"ERROR: Please install required programs:  package ec-fonts-mftraced"

But i installed it! When I do "rpm -q ec-fonts-mftraced" I get:
ec-fonts-mftraced-1.0.8-1

What am I doing wrong? My system is mandrake 10.0.

Thank you for your great software

Luis :-)

First you should name the notes after a

variable = \context Voice = "voicename" \relative c' {
notes here
}

After that.. the \lyricsto use "voicename" as a position mapper :)

Would it make a lot of difference to use the chord notation

4 2 4   

with whatever ', octaviation required, (note that the octaviation considers 
only the first note of each chord), instead of:

<< { d4 bf c2 d4 bf c } \\
{ bf4 f f2 bf4 f f } >>

Try giving it a \context Voice = "name" first.. then send your comments and 
results .. so that it helps others looking for similar solutions.

This is (right now) a highly experimental and not yet useful feature for 
post-processing lilypond output in a WYSIWYG manner (instead of manually 
offsetting X and Y positions, you can drag and drop the objects). One of the 
main goals for v3.0 (if I understood it correctly) is to make this fairly 
usable, and also to use this system to replace the point-and-click feature of 
xdvi.

In the long run, the gnome output mode could make many interesting new 
features possible. See Han-Wen's post "battle-plan for 2.5 development" on 
lilypond-devel for ideas.

what is the gnome backend and other questions

2004-12-12 Thread Aaron
Hi I havent upgraded lilypond in a while but am thinking of it.

I noticed a few things that piqued my curiosity and was wondering:

What is the gnome backend and what is it used for?

version 2.5.1 mentions our graphical layout editor, what is this?

What is the svg backend?

Thanks
Aaron
