Re: lilypond-book questions
It's not supported in lilypond-book. In fact, the pdftex support in
LilyPond does exist but hasn't been very actively supported, so it's
highly likely to be broken. However, even if that part works, some
work would be required to include the support in lilypond-book.

I know that the prescribed method for producing pdf output is mentioned
in the documentation (latex yourfile.tex;dvips -Ppdf -u+ec-mftrace.map
-u+lilypond.map yourfile.dvi;ps2pdf yourfile.ps), but I'm curious if
there is a (relatively simple) way to make this work. Should I just wait
until the new font handling in 2.6?

Is there a way to make sort of a \override Stem #'beamed-lengths = ##f after the notes to go back to a normal and automatic stem length ? The best, as has already been pointed out, is probably to do a \revert after the full beam. Another thing is that I don't quite understand the syntax of this \override Stem #'beamed-lengths... Search the mailing list archives, I think you can find some explanations there if the one in the manual doesn't help you. Also, since Graham has done several documentation improvements very recently, it might be a good idea to look also at the manual for version 2.5 in such situations, since most of the updates haven't propagated back to the manual of version 2.4. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Page layout
Hi all,
I have some problems adjusting the page layout. Using
\paper {
leftmargin = 10\mm
linewidth = 165\mm
indent = 0.0
}
works fine (the additional left margin) with Lilypond (2.4.2) but has no
effect in lilyppond-book.
How can I achieve an adjustment of my scores in latex?
Thanks for any hints

Re: Page layout
lilypond-book will typeset the scores using the linewidth used
in the rest of the LaTeX document, so just use ordinary LaTeX
commands to specify the page layout you wish. I would recommend
the geometry package. Run the command
texdoc geometry
to view the documentation (I'm not sure if the documentation is
available this way if you run the cygwin distribution, though).

pb invoking lilypond file in latex
Hi list !
Still working on XP :o( with Lily 2.4.2.
I'm trying Latex and lilypond book : it seems quite great, but I have a slight
pb :
I want to insert in a text some noteheads without any staff. This is my lily
file, which goes OK
(thanks lily doc !) :
\paper {
linewidth = 30\mm
indent = 0\mm
}
\score {
\lyrics {
\time 7/8
\markup { \raise #0.75 \vcenter \musicglyph #"noteheads--2neomensural" } 4
\markup { \raise #0.75 \vcenter \musicglyph #"noteheads--1neomensural" } 4
\markup { \raise #0.75 \vcenter \musicglyph #"noteheads-0neomensural" } 4
}
}
I've called it figure1.ly.
Then I try to insert it in my text like this :
(...)
dont la
dur\'{e}e d\'{e}pendait de la quantit\'{e} de mots ou de syllabes qui leur
\'{e}tait associ\'{e}e
(notamment parce que les signes
\lilypondfile[quote,fragment,staffsize=16]{figure1.ly}
n'existaient pas encore).
(...)
It seems that it is the way to do it (cf lily doc 9.2 Integrating LaTeX and
music).
But when I run lilypond-book, its says :

Score.skipBars
Hello folks,
I have been preparing several scores where it is useful to have the
ability to have numbered multi-rest bars rather than, say, 32 full bar
rests. I have been able to implement this using the following setting as
described in the manual:-
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
The only problem is that sometimes I can get it to work for me, but
other times not, and I have been unable to figure out why. For example,
the following source does not work, the bars come out fully expanded:-
\header {
\include "header.ly"
subtitle = "Clarinet (Vocal Version)"
}
\include "notes.ly"
\score {
\notes <<
\time 4/4
\set Score.markFormatter
= #(lambda (mark context)
(make-bold-markup (make-box-markup
(make-markletter-markup (1- mark)
{
% Bb Instruments
<<
\context ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\transpose bes c'
\Changes
}
\context Staff {
\key d \major
\clef treble
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\transpose bes c''
{\Intro \notes{r2 \bar"||" R1*11 r2} \LeadBreak R1*8}
}
>>
}
>>
\midi { \tempo 4=140 }
\paper{
papersize = "a4"
indent = 0
}
}

But the source below does work as expected. I seem to have reached a
brick wall in trying to figure out why, so any help would be much
appreciated! Thanks in advance, Jennifer.

Re: Score.skipBars
Please always tell what LilyPond version you use, when sending a
question to the mailing list (actually a good practice is to include
a \version "..." statement in every .ly file you write).
Also, it's much easier to get help from the mailing list if you send
a full example that people can try directly without having to guess
what you have in your \included files. If possible, try to make it
a small example.

Re: Score.skipBars
Thanks Mats, that is good advice - when attempting to reduce the file size to make the problem more obvious to those on list as you suggested, I actually found the problem - I had been including chord changes in the tune which means that the rest bars were always be written out in full, not in condensed form. I'm just off to see if making a new set of chord changes with rests that align will work out.

to remove empty rhythmic staffs
Dear friends,
I tried to apply \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to a RhythmicStaff but it
didn't work, so I simply added the following lines to engraver-init.ly
right after the definition of RemoveEmptyStaffContext:
RemoveEmptyRhythmicStaffContext= \context {
\RhythmicStaff
\remove "Axis_group_engraver"
\consists "Hara_kiri_engraver"
\override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'()
}
It worked fine. Maybe you'll add this in a new release (or a better
solution). Of course, even better could be to remove not only completely
empty systems, but also individual empty measures.
Thanks for a great program,

Global sizes
Hello. Is there an equivalent to #(set-global-staff-size 16) but for fonts? The manual (v2.4.2) states #(set-global-staff-size 14) This sets the global default size to 14pt staff height, and scales all fonts accordingly. But the font is *not* sized appropriately. In other words, is there a way such that one does not have to \set Staff.fontSize = #-4 for each Staff separately? Thanks.
