I've run a few tests so far (I've since moved to 2.7.13).

abc2ly works, although I've got to do some work on the output to get
lily to compile the resulting .ly. I suppose that fact that it produces
output means it's installed properly.

Lilypond-book seems to work better than it did before, so that's a good
thing.

I still have access to emacs-mode. Would the relevant files have been
replaced?

I haven't tested the documentation because that's provided in a separate
package. I'm happy accessing the web version of it for now.

Another poster suggested I run 'lintian' over my newly created deb.
Apart from a few trivial errors (licensing details, maintainer addresses
and so on), a few things come up which somebody with a clue might be
able to help me with.

For starters, there are a lot of complaints about permissions being
wrong. For example:

W: lilypond: non-standard-dir-perm usr/ 0700 != 0755
W: lilypond: non-standard-dir-perm usr/share/ 0700 != 0755
W: lilypond: non-standard-dir-perm usr/share/doc/ 0700 != 0755

I'll assume for now that these can be ignored, although I'd appreciate
some explanation of what these mean. I've looked at a few of the files,
and they don't seem to have the permissions Lintian's worried about. (Is
there a mask applied?)

W: lilypond: script-not-executable /usr/share/lilypond/2.7.13/make/ly.make

Do I have to worry about this?

The dependencies don't seem to be recorded in the file, but lintian
picks them up anyway. For example:

E: lilypond: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/abc2ly
E: lilypond: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/convert-ly
E: lilypond: python-script-but-no-python-dep ./usr/bin/etf2ly

I've got no idea what this is:

E: lilypond: unstripped-binary-or-object
./usr/share/lilypond/2.7.13/python/midi.so

My completely untrained eye tells me that there is nothing here that
should stop it from working, but I wouldn't expect Debian to uploading
it any day either!

Does anyone with any idea about these things have anything to add?

Thanks for your time!

linebreak problem, sheet with chords, notes and lyrics

2005-10-20 Thread Christian Jägle
Hi,

the manual shows me sth. like this:

\repeat unfold 4 {
s2. \noBreak s2. \noBreak
s2. \noBreak s2. \noBreak   
s2. \noBreak s2. \break }

This is ok, but I do not want to use polyphony (beams, rest postition...), so 
how can I combine the skips with other notes?

I have the following lilypond file:

\version "2.7.9"
\paper {linewidth = 180 \mm}
\header {
title = "test"
poet = "test" }

linebreak = \repeat unfold 4 {
s2. \noBreak s2. \noBreak
s2. \noBreak s2. \noBreak   
s2. \noBreak s2. \break }

melody = \relative c' { 
\clef treble
\key f \major
\time 3/4   
\linebreak   
c2. d e f g a b c }   
  
text = \lyricmode {   
Aaa2. Bee Cee Dee e  
 }
 
harmonies = \chordmode {
f2. c/e d:m c4 g:7m/d c bes2.:maj
 }
 
\score { 
<<   
\context ChordNames { \harmonies  }
\context Voice = one {
   \autoBeamOff
   \melody }
\lyricsto "one" \new Lyrics \text   
>>
\layout { } 
 }
-

Here I have a a big gap in the score. If I use \linebreak in the \score part, 
I get an additional staff. So how could I solve the problem?
Thanks

Okay, I didn't look for libltdl or libltdl3, but for 
libltdl.so.3 with apt-cache search. :-I

With apt-cache search this libltdl3 it was to find.

Thank You, this did work, but afterwards there were two other libs to
install, one after another ...

That did work also, and then lilypond --version gave a good output.


But then came the next desillusionation:
Trying a little example with

  lilypond example-1.ly

results in an error message:

and creates only a .ps-file with 0 bytes.
It's quite awful ...
In the past it was so easy ...

I would like to spend my time on typesetting further scores (under all

On the lilypond-website I could only find 2.6.4 for fedora or as source
code ...

problem with position of bar rest

2005-10-20 Thread liang seng
Hi, I have an interesting problem here. In the first bar of "example.pdf", 
the bar rest of the upper voice is too close to the notes on the lower 
voice. How do I move the rest vertically upwards? I can't use pitched rests 
as the bar rest would move to the left side of the bar.

Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Seng

First Measure bar

2005-10-20 Thread Kress, Stephen
Title: First Measure bar







All,

If I have a file with this:

{
    \time 4/4

    \repeat volta 2
    {
    c''2
    c''
    }
}

I get a single measure and a close repeat at the end of it.  How do I get LilyPond to put the openning repeat in there as well?  I tried this:

{
    \time 4/4
    \bar "|:"

    \repeat volta 2
    {
    c''2
    c''
    }
}

but that puts the time signature inside the repeat.  I tried moving the
\bar to various places but nothing would put it where I want it.  I would like to have the symbols in this order:

1.  Clef
2.  Time signature
3.  Open repeat
4.  The rest of the music.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Stephen

Line breaks are calculated after the repeats have been expanded, so this isn't 
possible unless you do manual line breaks after the repeat (it could be 
possible to invent a \percentBreak, which forces percent repeats to be 
unfolded once after the break).

Insertion of such breaks _could_ be automated with hacks similar to 
LaTeX's .aux files, but that solution is probably too dirty/inelegant to be 
implemented in lilypond.

Re: First Measure bar

2005-10-20 Thread VSD
I have the same problem. I don't know if lilypond can do that, but I use  
the following cheap trick:



{
\time 4/4

\partial 128 s128 % create an empty tiny partial measure before the  
repeat


\repeat volta 2
{
c''2
c''
}
}

which works form me. I'd recommend you to use raggedright=##t in the  
layout for a single bar score though.

Unusual Repeat Alternatives

2005-10-20 Thread Jennifer Clark
I'm writing out some music at the moment which has an odd repeat 
structure in it. There are two distinct alternatives, a very long one 
and a short one. The long one is called after repeats 1 and 3, and the 
short one after repeat 2.  So the music should look roughly like this:


_   ___
| 1--3.   :|   | 2.

The default method in lilypond for repeated alternatives labels the 
above as 1--2 and 3, assuming that the first alternative is played 
twice. I guess this is reasonable, but is there a way to override it to 
state the repeats in the correct way in this case?


Thanks for your help,
Jennifer
