Re: Increase minimum word spacing?
This is a very popular question this week. Please always tell what LilyPond version you use, to be sure to get a relevant answer. For version 2.7, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2006-03/msg00239.html For version 2.6, read the section on "Spacing Lyrics" in the manual for LilyPond version 2.6. /Mats Quoting Ruth Ivimey-Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Folks, I have a score in which the words to the verse have become very close together, such that it is hard to read. Is there a control that specifies the minimum inter-word space that is acceptable?

Re: Defining Drumsets

Synchronizing staves with grace notes
I'm having some trouble with synchronizing the
upper and lower stave in a piano score where I have some grace notes and
polyhony in the right hand.
I need to tie a "des" in the grace notes to the
normal "des"-note following the grace notes and have finally managed to do that.
However, to synchronize the two voices in the right hand, I had to insert hidden
grace notes in the upper voice. I would prefer the first of the left hand notes
to be synchronized with the des4 in the lower voice in the right hand. But it
synchronizes automatically with the first of the grace notes. Is there a way
to obtain what I want?
I don't know how much code to attach. Hope this is
enough (only 1 bar)... The first note in the right hand is des'' (in both
voices). The score is in 3/8.
Right hand:
<< { \hideNotes \grace { des8
des des } \unHideNotes \stemUp des16..->[ bes64] ges8[ f] }\\ {
\stemUp \grace { des8[~ ges bes] } \stemDown des,4_\( d8\)
} >>
Left hand:
\times 4/6 { bes32[ des ges bes ges des] }
\times 4/6 { bes[ des ges bes ges des] } \times 4/6 { b[ d f as f d]
}

up = \drummode { sn4 sn4 sn4 sn4 \bar "|." }
down = \drummode { s1 }
\score
{
\new DrumStaff

\set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table mydrums)

Re: System spacing
By default, LilyPond should not reserve any space for a lyrics line
if there is no lyrics on that particular score line, so I expected
your example to work exactly as you desire. (The exception to what
I said is the first score line, where you can read more for example
in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-08/msg00085.html).

Quoting Ruth Ivimey-Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Folks,
I have a score in which the first two systems each have 3 verses (lines of
text) underneath, and the next three systems are the chorus and have only one
line. Each system is one line of music.
I saw that there is some control over the inter-system spacing, but it is not
clear to me how to modify the spacing of the chorus such that it the chorus
lines only take up the space required, rather than the same space that the
verses do...
Thanks,
Ruth
The outer level of the .ly file is as follows. I can post more if needed:
\score {
%\midi { \tempo 4=72 }
<<
\context Voice = mel {
\repeat volta 3 {
\verseMusic \bar "" \break
\chorusMusic
}
}
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics { \verseOne \chorusText }
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics \verseTwo
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics \verseThree

Exercises
I want to put down some of my bass/fretless bass exercises. I would like to have one file that has several short examples that might be a a couple of lines long. I'm not having luck finding old posts, or the right spots in the documentation. What I'm trying to do (I think) is stop a staff, add some space (and text) between it and the next staff (exercise 2)...

Thanks Graham,
Following your suggestion I used
#(define mydrums '(
.
.
.
(halfopenhihat cross #f 4)))
and
hhho^\markup {\combine o -}
where the hyphen is a UTF-8 version, but I still have a few questions...
1. The small o I used is not quite the same as the "open" symbol. Is there
some way for me to replace the small o with the "open" symbol.
2. The UTF-8 hyphen isn't quite centered with respect to the o. Is there a
way to "center justify" each of them?
3. And finally, is there a way to include this in my halfopenhihat
definition? I tried
(halfopenhihat cross \markup {\combine o -}4)
but it didn't work and I'm sure I do not understand the syntax.
TIA,
Pete

\parallelMusic and \relative
It seems that \parallelMusic doesn't work with \relative. This makes
it very unnatural to work with. Any chance to implement something
similar, say, a special mode where the first note in a `section' is
absolute and the remaining notes relative to it?
\parallelMusic #'(foo bar) {
c'' d e |
a' b c |
}
-> c'' d'' e''
a' b' c'

Re: Exercises

AFAIK, Lily will set each one as it encounters it. The text between can be done with \markup commands (see the discussion of verses below music in the 2.7 manual and on my tips page.)

Re: How to modify the space between the notes?

I realize that in the real world this is not feasible, as writing and maintaining a user's manual requires a massive amount of work and time. Possibly a useful compromise would be to gradually accumulate a sort of bare-bones syntax manual that gave a one-line example of the use of each of as many properties as possible, with the context specified in each case being the lowest-level context to which the property was applicable. No explanations at all, just examples of valid syntax. (Some of the examples would have to be multi-line, I admit.) I have seen many questions on this mailing list to the effect that the User Manual or the Reference Manual implies that some property can be modified, but the syntax for doing it is not clear. A list of valid examples would at least give a possible clue in such a case. -- Tom ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
