Re: vertical spacing of StaffGroup

If you're inserting something invisible, I'd recommend a Lyrics context. You have to make sure it's not hara-kiri'd though. Will give it a try, thanks. A related problem which I consider as very important is the introduction of stretching vertical space as used in TeX: \vspace 3em plus 10pt minus 10pt This is something for the TODO file -- BTW, it seems that there isn't a TODO file in lilypond... No, TODO files tend to fill up with bad ideas that never get implemented anyway. On the other hand, page-layout-twopass.ly, which probably can do something similar already, appears to be broken: The output file page-layout-twopass-page-layout.ly is always empty. Or am I missing something? The documentation is, hmm, sparse... Comment out the \markup. The problem is that the \markup triggers another layout write, which overwrites the first one. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
text blocks before movements

i have a score which has a couple of paragraphs of performance instructions
on the first page, and it would be convenient to use \book to set it. the
"multiple movements" section of the manual just says to use:
\markup {
..text of second verse..
}
but if i use, for example:
\markup {
lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. ut enim ad minim veniam,
quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo
consequat. duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse
cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat
non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
}
, it's all printed on one line, scrolling off the right edge of the page.
i see from the "setting simple songs" section that i can use:
\markup {
\line{ lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod
}
\line{ tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. ut enim ad minim
veniam, }
\line{ quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo }
\line{ consequat. duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit
esse }
\line{ cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. excepteur sint occaecat
cupidatat }
\line{ non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est
laborum. }
}
, but that doesn't work well for prose. it looks awkward and can leave a
lot of whitespace on the ragged right side at larger paper sizes, and risk
scrolling off the page at smaller ones.
is there a way to have a batch of text in a \markup{} block automatically
wrapped, or can that only be done with lilypond-book? i'd rather not bother
with lilypond-book for this little bit of text. would it be possible to do
the reverse of lilypond-book, to have a \latex{} block which passes the
contents out to latex for processing and sticks the results back into the
lilypond output? if it can't be done now, is it a feature worth sponsoring?
sincerely,

Umm, yes. \word-wrap or \justify. See "Overview of text markup
commands". It's a 2.7-only command, though.

Re: Other Music Fonts
In theory yes! In practice, it's probably quite much work involved to get it working. /Mats Quoting Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Is it possible to use other types of music fonts in Lilypond?

Re: Problem with lilypad
That's a bug! I managed to repeat the problem once (with an input file that had too old \version statement). Then, I tried opening the myfile.log file from within lilypad (you have to select Files of type: "All files" in File -> Open). After that, all .log files opened correctly in Lilypad, so there's something fishy going on here. As you can see, I have forwarded a copy to the bug-lilypond mailing list. /Mats Quoting lala lala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi ! I just try the lilypond-2.7.39-1.mingw.exe on windows XP pro.

PDF font issues in 2.7.40
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Greetings, all. I hope this hasn't been answered already; I searched the archives but turned up nothing. I've been having two (possibly related) font issues with PDFs generated by 2.7.40 that were not present in 2.7.36: 1) When I generate a score (any score; doesn't matter how simple or complex) the resulting PDF has clefs, notes (heads and stems), brackets, slurs, time signatures, and other expressive marks, but not rests or key signatures. 2) When I build a lilypond-book document (large or small), it displays stems, dynamic marks, slurs and time signatures, but does not display note heads, attached expressive marks, rests, or key signatures. These errors are, however, only present in the PDF output; the PS output renders properly. I'm running Gentoo Linux and compiled Lily with my own ebuild, since there isn't an official one for the latest releases. PS is being viewed with gv and PDF with Adobe's reader. If asked I'll provide an example, but as I said before, this phenomenon seems to be independent of the score I'm rendering. Any thoughts? - -- Nicholas Haggin A.M.D.G.

Leadsheet top staff line spacing inconsistent with rest of piece
Hi, I've got a simple leadsheet (Chords above staff, melody, and lyrics) and the very first line is spaced much further from the 2nd than the 2nd from the 3rd, etc.. From afar, my piece would look like this: - - - - - Any suggestions would be helpful, and if needed, I can include my .ly. Thanks in advance - Lilypond has changed the way I compose and transcribe!

Polyphony Note head Merging
The following code generates 7 measures with two voices. What I *want* is
for the lower voice half-notes to merge with the upper voice 1/8 notes. It
does the merge as expected for the meaure with two 1/4 notes (meas 2). Can
lilypond merge the half-notes in the same fashion? I hacked this out via
looking at examples and the meaning of the "##t" is unknown to me.
