problem when installing in fc3
Hello and thank you for what you have done for musicians when creating LilyPond I used to work with LilyPond for a while in Windows, but decided to change my O.S. to work in fedora core3. When I installed LilyPond (and ec-fonts-mftraced) on fedora, I got the message that can be seen above. I tried to reinstall a few times and it did work, and I converted all my files to the new version of LilPond. But I had to reinstall fc3 and after trying to reinstall over and over LilyPond, I always have this message when processing test.ly : GNU LilyPond 2.4.6 Processing `test.ly' Analyse... Interprétation en cours de la musique...[1] Pré-traitement des éléments graphiques... Calcul des bris de lignes... [2] Layout output to `test.tex'... Converting to `test.dvi'...

You can get the update here: http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/Fedora-3/ghostscript-8.15rc3-0.i386.rpm Han-Wen packaged this for Fedora. Check the News section at lilypond.org about this package. It will probably need to be installed with -nodeps and it will probably break gimp-print but it will let you use LilyPond. -David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Search the mailing list archives, you will probably find some useful answers there. However, you will get a much more informative log message from LilyPond if you run it with lilyond --verbose test.ly /Mats Quoting pierre-étienne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello and thank you for what you have done for musicians when creating > LilyPond > I used to work with LilyPond for a while in Windows, but decided to change my > O.S. to work in fedora core3.

Making staff lines invisible
I've digged for a long time in the docs, and I'm not able to find an answer. How can I typeset a staff *without* the lines? I want just notes & rests to appear... I couldn't find out the engraver which is responsible for writing down the lines. -- Ciao, seba ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: multiple tempi
Yes this is can be done. See section 8.5.1 Polymetric notation of the ver 2.5 manual for some simple examples /Bernard James wrote: > hello list. > > I am new to lilypond, and cant really use it well yet.

Re: Making staff lines invisible
It's not so hard to find from the manual. The section called "Staff symbol" has a link to the reference manual for the layout object "StaffSymbol", which in turn includes a link to the relevant engraver. There's also an example in the Regression Tests document (in spite of its name, this document, together with the Tips and Tricks document is an invaluable source of examples also for users like you and me). /Mats Quoting Sebastiano Vigna <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I've digged for a long time in the docs, and I'm not able to find an > answer.

Strange rest dots behaviour - bug?
Hello list,
sorry for the long example, but I could not shorten more.
In bar 9 and 10 of the attached example the rests in voice "Bass" are
shifted, but the dots remain at the default position.
If I delete or shorten voice "Middle" the problem disappears.
This is a short extract of my code:
\version "2.4.3" % cygwin
\header {title ="Rest dot not shifted"}
Global = {
\time 6/8
\clef "G_8"
\key d \major

\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t
}

I think the extra \grace s8 in \global will be all you need. If it's not
enough, you could try adding \grace s8 to other places as well.
(I think there are some typing mistakes in the code you sent, but I think you
understood what I meant)

Looks like a nasty bug. I tried it with a recent 2.5.x version as well as with 2.4.2 and 2.4.6, and the problem doesn't appear there. The next version 2.6 will soon be released, and the problem _might_ have been fixed there. If you upgrade to 2.6, please tell us again if anything similar ever occurs again.

If they look good, a solution to your problem could be to download a newer or older version of ghostscript.) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Erik, I looked at "testrest.dvi" with MikTex Yap and get the same output.

RE: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode
Sean,
Did you put in your .emacs the code that links .ly files with lilypond-mode?
You can do this by adding:
;; lilypond
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
Or, alternatively, you can use M-x load-library [ret] lilypond-mode
to load lilypond mode. This makes the lilypond functions available to emacs.
You then are able to switch on lilypond mode by M-x LilyPond-mode. Please be
aware that these names are case-sensitive.
HTH,
Arjan
Btw [ot] When starting with Latex in emacs, please consider auctex as an
enhanced latex-mode. It helps with a lot of small things, like placing the
correct environment with begin and end, changing fonts and things like that.

hi arjan,
thanks for the response.
i still must be doing something wrong, or not understanding something.
i created an .emacs file and added-to-list 'load-path the directories
/sw/etc/emacs21/site-start.d (where i have lilypond-init.el) and
/sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp (where i have lilypond-mode.el, -indent.el,
-font-lock.el etc.). having quit and restarted the program, i used C-h
v load-path and saw that both directories were now indeed listed the
load-paths.
but M-x gave me no option for loading any lilypond-mode.
is that not how you load it?
could it be a version discrepancy? (installed emacs 21.3.50 via fink
today).
i am (pretty much) brand new (again) to emacs and went through the
whole tutorial with C-h t today. even if the point-and-click doesn't
work out, i would be interested in learning it a bit more, since i
would consider using it for latex documents and eventually for CLM at
some point again (which is where i used it bumbingly a couple of months
5 years ago for the first time).
thanks again for any tips.
best,
sean
