Re: Stemming for hymnal
The best solution is probably to use a Scheme function similar to
the one used in the implementation of \partcombine, that looks at
the duration of the notes in the two voices and combines the notes
into chords if they have the same duration and into separate voices
if the durations differ. Maybe such a solution has already been done
by somebody, I recommend to search the mailing list archives.
Anyway, if you already have a program that generates the .ly code
and that program knows when the note durations are different and
when they are the same, then you could get a similar results by simply
putting both parts in the same Voice context as long as the durations
are the same. If you do that and also force the same stem directions
within that Voice context, then you can get the desired layout.
For an example, I took the first 5 bars of the upper stave in your
example:
\version "2.4.0"
upperOne = {
\time 4/4 \key g \major
r2.^\markup "Angel's Story 76.76D, Arthur Henry Mann, 1881 (O Jesus I
Have Promised)" b'4 b'4. b'8 a'4 g' g'2 fis'4 d' c''4. c''8 b'4 a'
b'2. b'4 \bar "|."
}
upperTwo = {
\key g \major
r2. d'4 | d'4. d'8 c'4 \new Voice {\voiceTwo b8 d' } |
d'2 d'4 d' | << {} \\ {d' fis'8 fis' }>> g'4 d' d'2. g'4
}
\score {
\context GrandStaff
<<
\context Staff = upper {
\new Voice << \voiceOne \upperOne \upperTwo >>
}
>>
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
}
}
I don't really understand why you used a PianoStaff instead of a
GrandStaff. Also, my example shows a better way to remove the bar
numbers completely.
Of course, an even better way to do it is
\score {
\context GrandStaff
<<
\context Staff = upper {
\time 4/4 \key g \major
r2.^\markup "Angel's Story 76.76D, Arthur Henry Mann, 1881 (O Jesus I
Have Promised)" 4 |
4. 8 4 <<{g'} \\{b8 d'}>> |
2 4 d' |
<<{c''4. c''8 } \\ {d'4 fis'8 fis' } >> 4
2. 4 \bar "|."}
>>
}
which corresponds to what the Scheme function I mentioned at the
beginning should produce. Maybe it's easy for your program to
do it as well.

Still having some unresolved trouble with stems for my public domain
hymnal project.
I've attached an excerpt to show you what I'm doing.
The problem is that, in hymnals, notes from different parts share the
same stem (and hence the same stem direction) in most cases, except
when the note durations are different or the notes are in unison or
only a second apart.
The sample below uses stem direction to seperate the parts. This works
properly, and makes for a reasonably readable score, except that it
isn't what's expected for a hymnal. Any suggestions?
I'm producing the lilypond input programmatically and could set the stem
direction for individual notes in my software, but my experimenting with
that (using \voiceOne and \voiceTwo to set stem direction) hasn't worked
because the stems aren't combined properly, so beams and flags are
misplaced.

Re: Lyrics / staffs/ contexts - which way is best for me
I hope the earlier answers have helped you get started.
andrew Black wrote:
Hi
I am fairly new to lilypond. I have RTFM-ed but am rather confused by
the number of ways of adding lyrics to a score. My confusion might be
caused by not understanding what \new and \context does.
Both create contexts, i.e. representations of a voice (Voice context) or
stave (Staff context) or choir stave (ChoirStaff context) or ...
With \new, you always get a new unique context that hasn't appeared
before in the score. With \context, you have the chance to explicitly
specify a name of the context. This is useful at least for two reasons:
- You can refer to a named Voice context when you use the \lyricsto
command to specify which voice a certain line of lyrics should be
attached to.
- You can refer back to a context that has already been defined earlier,
since the context is uniquely defined by its name. For example if you
say
\version "2.4.0"
\relative c'<<
\context Staff = topstave { c1 | e | }
\context Staff = bottomstave { c1 | c | }
\context Staff = topstave { g'4 a b g | c a g2 | }
>>
then both the first and third line of music will end up on
one and the same stave.
I think both these aspects are used in the SATB template.
If this isn't clear from the manual, we should try to clarify it
further.
/Mats
My basic requirement is
- SATB, each one line
- piano part
It seems to me that I need to build up a template to do this
(and by building it up myself I will understand it!)
My starting point was
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Vocal-ensembles.html#Vocal-ensembles
but this combines SA and TB which makes it too complex for what I want.
Can someone walk me through setting this up
Thanks

Scheme incompatibility
Title: Scheme incompatibility
This code works:
%
\version "2.4.3"
size = #3
\score {{\relative c'' {
\override NoteHead #'font-size = \size
c }}}
%
Change the number to
size = #3.
and it doesn't work.
It seems Scheme code distinguishes integers from real numbers in a way that is incompatible with LilyPond. It is necessary to convert "inexact" values. E.g.:
size = #( inexact->exact 3. )
which is acceptable. That's a pain.
Should I:
A. Further my education,
B. Live with it,
C. Report it as a bug,
D. Suggest a documentation addition for Appendix B of the User Manual, and/or
E. Submit a feature request for compatibility.

Re: FW: MultiMeasureRest font-size
Can you motivate a situation where it is interesting to change that size. The (vertical) length of the end lines is now determined as twice the separation between two staff lines, according to normal typesetting practice. If you change the size of the stave itself, this length should automatically be adjusted correspondingly, so there's no reason to use the font-size to adjust to such a situation (in contrast to ordinary rests or note heads). Maybe it could be useful for cue notes, but I cannot recall how it's done in printed scores (don't even know if I have ever seen a "church rest" in a cue). /Mats Fairchild wrote: This thread inspires a feature request.

I've updated \tieDotted so that it has the same form as \slurDotted, but
\slurDotted is also broken in 2.5.25. I've filed a bug report; thanks!

Re: slurDotted broken in 2.5.25
According to http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html \slurDotted is not broken. \slurDotted c''4 ~ c''4 That's not a slur, but a tie. Didn't you mean c''4( c''4)?

Argh. That would explain it.
OK, so it's just tieDotted. I took slurDotted from ly/property.ly ; I
made
tieDotted match it.

Cygwin 2.4.2 Download Incomplete
I get a message "Download Incomplete" when I try to download the version 2.4.2 off of Bertalan's site. I know there are newer versions available, but I want to go back to try something that I thought I had working when I used 2.4.2 that I can't seem to get to work now. I do have an old version of 2.4.2 stored in my download folder, but the setup.ini file can't seem to find that one. Also, will the 2.5 version be released for Cygwin any time soon? That would really help a lot.

Re: BarLine spacing
Yes I have a special purpose for it. I write a lot of material for my drums lessons (it's a reason I switch to Linux and Lilypond). And for child it's better to understand rhythm if each bar is evenly written. So each bar length (distance) means same beats and subdivisions inside. It's very visual. It' just for an educational contest. So I ask again : how can I do this...

Re: Lyrics / staffs/ contexts - which way is best for me
Thanks Ruud for a useful template. And thanks Mats for giving me some
insight into contexts. Taken together I am beginning to piece the
concepts together,

. etc

I would like to check my understanding of how it is put together.
The score is made out of a GrandStaff, that is made out of ChoirStaff
and PianoStaff. The ChoirStaff is made from sopranoVoice, then
sopranoLyrics etc etc. There is a "link" indicating that the sop lyrics
belong to the sop line using \lyricsto
Going back to the SATB example (2 stave)
\context ChoirStaff <<
\context Lyrics = sopranos { s1 }
\context Staff = women <<
\context Voice =
sopranos { \voiceOne << \global \sopMusic >> }
\context Voice =
altos { \voiceTwo << \global \altoMusic >> }
>>
\context Lyrics = altos { s1 }
etc
\context Lyrics = sopranos \lyricsto sopranos \sopWords
This says you ahve some lyrics, a Staff (with 2 voices) some more
Lyrics. Then you jump back into the "Lyrics = sopranos" and say what
the words actually are, and that it links to the soprano.
One of the things that confused me about this is that "sopranos" is both
a name of a Lyric context and a Voice context. Presumably each has its
own name space.
Final questions - what is the s1 in "\context Lyrics = sopranos { s1 }".
My assumption is that is is "skip semibreve". Why do you need to tell
the lyrics how long the notes are - doesn't it get the lengths from
corresponding music?
