Running Lilypond on a PC with Windows - Question
Dear Friends, I downloaded Lilypond on my PC and installed it and this ran without any problems. I received a message when trying to place it in Program Files, so I installed it in C: in a separate folder. The online instructions in the tutorial say that the user's input file should have the extension .ly rather than .txt. I created a score file with a .ly extension and opened and edited it with Notepad and saved it. The instructions said to double click on the icon of the score file and the lilypond output would appear in .pdf form. This does not occur, because the file properties say to open with Notepad and that the type of file is a text file. I changed Open With to Lilypond rather than Notepad, but I couldn't see how to change the type from text file to Lilypond file. Also, changing Open With caused the system to rename the file as filename.ly.txt, which it said wasn't a valid file name. Can someone suggest the correct way to create and process the Lilypond file? Thank you for any information.

It works - Lilypond on a Windows XP PC
Dear Friends, It works on a Windows PC. 1. Don't use the .ly file extension. Keep the name as .txt, with the file type as Text File and with Notepad in the Open With field in Properties. 2. Drag and drop the text file's icon onto the icon for the Lilypond executable's icon (this can be placed on the desktop). 3. Go back to the folder where the text file is located and open the .pdf file containing the typeset score. All the best, Linda ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Lilypond with troff?
Dear Friends, Has anyone integrated Lilypond with troff? Is there a supported version of troff for Windows? Lilypond and troff would provide complete typesetting including text, music and math. (However, I have not been able to typeset linear algebra matrices with eqn in troff). Linda ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Lilypond with troff?
> Has anyone integrated Lilypond with troff? Oh! It's basically the same as with TeX: You create EPS images which are then embedded. It's even easier than with TeX since groff uses the standard PS fonts by default. > Is there a supported version of troff for Windows? Yes. In case you've difficulties write again (you are a lucky guy that the maintainer of groff -- it's me -- is on this list too :-). > (However, I have not been able to typeset linear algebra > matrices with eqn in troff).

installation woes
I have been unable to install lilypond on a Fedora Core 3 x86 system. Installing from lilypond-2.6.4.3.x86.package gets me a lilypond executable that segmentation faults when processing simple test input. Installing from lilypond-2.4.6-1.i386.rpm gets me a lilypond executable that works, but dvips fails with the message dvips: ! Couldn't find header file ecrm10 I have looked for troubleshooting tips but haven't found any yet that apply to these problems. Any help would be appreciated. --verbose returns this (and a bunch more that I can provide if needed): GNU LilyPond 2.4.6 LILYPOND_DATADIR="/usr/share/lilypond" LOCAL_LILYPOND_DATADIR="/usr/share/lilypond/2.4.6" LOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale" LILYPONDPREFIX="" thanks, Tom Ace ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
A few questions
Hi all.
I have a few questions.
1. Why does the following create a .pdf and a midi,
but when I play the .midi file it just stops... it never plays
anything?
2. I want it only to show the chord names, not the
notes. how can I do that?
3. How do I generate "\" signs inside the lines, so
I can show when to play the Chord that way? An example: 4 strokes on the
guitar: \ \ \ \
4. Another question: I want to create a ly
file with only one D-chord played on the guitar. How is that
possible?

\version "2.6.3"

how to change staff with 2 voices??
I'd like to create tables of scales and patterns for practice. Specifically for piano. Is there a simple way of creating them? I tried the automatic staff change as described in the manual. It works but I've run into problems when I introduce the second voice or in my case, the left hand. For example, I'd like to typeset the C major scale to be played for 2 octaves. Right hand starting a C below middle C, left hand an octave below and then going up 2 octaves and returning. The right hand voice starts in the bass clef, then switches staff when it gets to middle C, and switches back again when it goes below middle C. Right hand voice have stems up, left hand stems down. I have successfully typeset the scale the way I want it, but it's a complicated input. I have to put parts of the right hand music in the left hand part with voice contexts between << and >>. You can imagine it gets painful when I try to do tables of scales and patterns. I'm using version 2.6.4 on a Mac.

Re: extra bar
Please keep lilypond traffic on the mailist. \cadenzaOn controls a score property, so if you add it to one staff (any staff), it will apply to all of them. - Graham On 25-Dec-05, at 7:18 PM, Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence wrote: My question - re; these responses. can I add /cadenzaOn to just 'any' staff and suddenly none of my staves will have the default or do I need to add it to the 'top' staff or to all the staves that this requires. Which for my new composition is all of them. The barline default, I'm finding confusing as I would expect (just like you have to bes for all bes's even though the key is f major) all the staves to need the same instructions in the same places. But this is clearly not the case but I've yet to come up with a rationale to explain what the default it.

It doesn't matter if the underlying lilypond syntax changes from Score.timing to Timing.Timing or Bars.Times or Foo.Buzzle ; as long as the lilypond devel team updates the definition of \cadenzaOn, all will be well.

I don't think I speak this language
Hello, I'm very new to this and trying to figure out how to get
output. I can modify the file I find online and get output, but
somehow I'm missing some information to correctly parse a file. I'm
trying to find some help in the documentation (both online and in the
pdf) and cannot understand what I need to get output.
Here's what I have:
{ /clef treble
\time 2/4
r8 <> r8 <> r8 <> r8
<>
}
\version "2.6.0" % necessary for upgrading to future LilyPond versions.
I figured out that I need that last line, but other than that, I
don't understand anything.

Re: Hiding Tuplet Numbers / Lyrics and Barlines and the Use of Opus in the header.
Thanx for the hints. I've successfully hidden the tuplet numbers.
The lyrics and barline question is proving troublesome...
where do I put the \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver"
in the example below? (taken from the regression tests.) I've put it
everywhere with no changes.
I also assume once it's working that this needs to be added to all lyric
voices in a piece.
Any help appreciated.
Regards,
Trent
