Easiest is to only explicitly create a new voice for the voice that is split off, then the other will remain in the same Voice context as the surrounding music. For example, if you do {c d e f | << {\voiceOne c2 c } \new Voice {\voiceTwo g g } >>| \oneVoice c1 } then the c2 c will remain in the same Voice context as the first and last bar, whereas the g g will appear in a new voice.

Re: lyric syllable skipping a note -- why?
Thank you, Erik I had figured out that with the help of the archives. I made a similar construct that worked, and I had to use \oneVoice afterwards. It seems like Context & Lyrics are sort of a stumbling block for beginners in Lilypond. I wonder how could we write a "Tutorial for Dummies" in this part, perhaps I'll pitch in in a near future. One thing that confuses me is that in lyricmode we are supposed to specify durations for each lyric syllable (Lilypond.pdf v. 2.7.16), but in many instances you can do without.

Re: Windows GUI
In my opinion there currently don't exist any particularly good GUIs for lilypond (unless you count your text editor!), simply because text editing is a lot more powerful... ...but I understand that having a GUI is sometimes very desireable. Apart from Lilycomp, the only other program I know about is Denemo. I guess this is one of the ones you looked at that was not for Windows but for Linux. Fortunately, you don't actually need to install Linux to use Denemo (although if you were thinking about doing it, I'd recommend installing Linux anyway). Have a look at www.mingw.org and www.cygwin.com for some ways to emulate Linux on Windows. Either one would (I believe) allow you to run Denemo on Windows (through emulation).

How to add another output format?
I started to work on a small project to output a Festival singing mode file from LilyPond input (this is useful for blind authors to easily check lyrics is properly aligned with music). I think this could be similar to producing MIDI output but I haven't found a way how to take advantage of it. Is there a better way how to do it than analyzing the parsed music expression (as displayed by \displayMusic)? Is there any documentation on adding new output formats (without modifying LilyPond)?

One thing that confuses me is that in lyricmode we are supposed to specify durations for each lyric syllable (Lilypond.pdf v. 2.7.16), but in many instances you can do without. There are basically two different possibilities to specify where the syllables should be positioned: 1) Explicitly specify the duration of each syllable. 2) Specify that the lyrics should follow the rhythm of a music voice, using \lyricsto or \addlyrics If you use the second option (as most people do), you do not need to specify any durations.

Specify output filename from within lilypond?
How do you specify the output file name from within lilypond? Can you in fact do this at all? What I have in mind is a template for producing part specific music and learning midis for a quartet from a single lilypond file. It would be simple enough to write multiple score blocks in a template to build the desired types of output. However how could you make each score block send its output to a different place. When arranging music I prefer to work with a full score. Once the arrangement is complete however, building the part specific learning midis is a tedious process requiring me to rewrite the file to separate out the music definitions from the score block and then create a bunch of special files with appropriate names which input the music definition file by name (so I can't just reuse them - they have to be edited each time anew) and contain a score block to construct the desired midi part files. Finally I have to run lilypond on each of these separately ( a slow repetitive and boring process). I can't help thinking that there has to be a better way. The only real reason why all those separate files are needed at all is to set different names for the MIDI and pdf output files produced by the score blocks they contain. If this could be done directly from within lilypond, I could set up a template to produce all the different types of output I want from a single ly file on a single pass without all this hassle. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
