Fingering Instructions
Hello,
In the following
code, I need the fingering instructions to be on the left of every note, so I
use " \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)". This works fine with the
first couple of notes, but afterwards, the finger numbers begin reappearing
above the note which is the default behaviour ( Note 8 ).
Is there
any reason for that?
Thank
you

The problem is that the setting you've used only applies to the first
voice, and dies when that voice dies. You can either perform a few
tricks to keep voice contexts alive, or the easier way is to move the
Fingering_engraver from Voice to Staff:

how to get lilypond to ignore text when creating spaces

Re: how to get lilypond to ignore text when creating spaces
LilyPond will ignore the extra-offset, but it will still move the chords according to the normal position of the text. If you don't want that, you can specify a fixed vertical extent of the Staff, see the section on Vertical Spacing and follow the link at the bottom of the page to the VerticalAlignment object for more information. /Mats Quoting dave k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I am using text markup, and Lilypond kindly moves the chord symbols higher to accomodate them.

Re: Fingering Instructions
There shouldn't be any reason to move the engraver, just use
\set Staff.fingeringOrientations ... or
\set Score.fingeringOrientations ... to make the setting apply to all
voices in the Stave or score, respectively.

Re: More than one book?
If you have several \book blocks in a .ly file, then you will get one output PDF file for each \book. If the input file is called test.ly, then the outputs will be test.pdf test-1.pdf test-2.pdf ... if I remember correctly. /Mats Quoting Art Hixson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I've wondered about this for a while. In the following section of the doc it says: 10.4.1 Paper size . . .if the \paper block is at the top of the file, then it will apply to all pages. If the \paper block is inside a \book, then the paper size will only apply to that book. The construction here sounds as if more than one \book might be possible although when I try it only the first book is recognized. I can envisage that multiple books could be useful. Is there a way?

Re: Problems with titling layout
If you set the line width in the paper block instead of the layout
block, then it should apply both to the titling and the music. Now it
only applies to the music.
/Mats
Quoting Cameron Horsburgh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi folks,
I have a score set out as follows:
**
\version "2.8.0"
\header{
subtitle = \markup{\italic "Brantwood"}
title = "I Know Thee Who Thou Art"
poet = "Albert Orsborn"
composer = "arr. Ray Steadman-Allen"
arranger = "transc. Cameron Horsburgh"
meter = "Version 1.0"
instrument = "Full Score"
}
\score{
<>
\layout{
line-width = #250
}
}
\paper{
#(set-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
% left-margin = #30
% horizontal-shift = #30
indent = #10
}
If I compile this, the titling comes out fine, but the instrument names
don't fit on the left hand side of the score. (I have 13 instruments in
the music, so the first system doesn't fit on the first page. I'm happy
with this--it gives me a nice title page).
So I set line-width = #250 in the layout block and set left-margin = #30
in the \paper block. The music fits on the page quite nicely.
However, the titles are all offset to the right, meaning that the title,
subtitle and instrument name are off centre, and the composer and
arranger don't fit properly on the page (please see the attached pdf).
I tried setting horizontal-shift = #30, with the same effect.
I don't remember this being a problem in the past. Any idea how to get
my titles set in the right places without mucking up the rest of my score?

If you're inserting something invisible, I'd recommend a Lyrics context.

Manual tie formatting, slight inconsistency
I am personally extremely grateful for all of the great changes in LilyPond's tie formatting code during these last many months: both the improvements in the default tie formatting and especially the new ability to override the default formatting with manual adjustments. I have thought of an inconsistency though which may confuse some people, especially new users of LilyPond. As of version 2.7.40 and now 2.8, users may now manually format single ties (between two notes, or chords which have just one note tied between them) in addition to entire "tie columns" between chords that have more than one tied note. The inconsistency is that in the case of single ties, the manual formatting command(s) *precede* the first of the two tied notes (or chords that have only a single note tied), whereas when manually formatting entire tie columns, the formatting commnd(s) are placed *between* the two tied chords-- Example for single tie formatting (in this case, using chords with only a single tied note between them)-- \once \override Tie #'staff-position = #2.5 4 ~ 4 Example for multiple tie (tie column) formatting between chords-- 4 ~ \once \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration = #'((0 . -1) (4.5 . 1)) 4 As you can see, for single ties the command is placed _before_ the two tied notes or chords, but for multiple simultaneous ties, the command is placed _between_ the two chords. Best wishes all, Steve D New Mexico US -- If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning. -Catherine Aird ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

LilyPond
I just discovered LilyPond and wanted a chance to thank everyone that has been involved with creating and maintaining it. I don't have much experience with music printing programs, but have use used CakeWalk (really just a sequencer), and Finale. Although these are good programs, I don't like the mouse point and click method very much. Sometimes small changes are so hard to figure out. e.g. Once I took an hour to figure out how to move a Coda sign from one measure to another! Of course, I could be a little dense, but still, it shouldn't be that hard. In contrast, LilyPond is a breath of fresh air. I allows me to manipulate where things are put in a much more natural way. I feel that I have complete control. Even the first piece I entered, I was able to figure out how to correct all my mistakes in a short time by reading the manual and just editing a little. I think you have a wonderful program. -Dave ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: how to get lilypond to ignore text when creating spaces
The chords are handled just like a stave, when it comes to vertical spacing. Think of it as an invisible rectangle around each stave and around each line of chords. These rectangles are placed edge to edge. The parameters described in this section describe how LilyPond determines the size of each of these rectangles. /Mats Quoting dave k <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Mats Bengtsson ee.kth.se> writes: LilyPond will ignore the extra-offset, but it will still move the chords according to the normal position of the text. If you don't want that, you can specify a fixed vertical extent of the Staff, see the section on Vertical Spacing and follow the link at the bottom of the page to the VerticalAlignment object for more information. /Mats I thought the vertical spacing parameters were for adjusting staves. I don't really care where the staves are, I just need Lilypond to put symbols without regard to the position of that markup. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Generating .png files with Lilypond
I don't know if you find it more or less complicated, but I would
start a Command Prompt (Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories), move to
my working directory ('cd My Documents' or wherever) and
run the command manually:
lilypond --png myfile.ly
/Mats
Quoting Peter Kestens <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
To create graphical files from a Lilypond file in Windows, I know only this
rather complicated way with right click on the Lily icon, properties and then
adding --png in the command phrase for starting Lilypond. Is there an other
way (less complicated) or is it possible to provide in the program
"something"
that allows easy creating .png files?
Thanks a lot

Re: Pango, Lilypond and OTF
Joshua Goforth schreef: Is there a way to update pango in the binary release for Mac OS X? I want to use Adobe OpenType fonts for my lyrics, but the kerning is messed up. Apparently the culprit is pango. Can you send a short example (both .pdf and .ly), and the offending OTF file? It would be even better if you could file a bugreport with Pango development directly.

Does someone can help me with that ? thanks all, Allan -- An application asked: "Requeires Windows 9x, NT4 or better", so I´ve installed Linux <> ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
is this a bug 2.8.0 with \turn ?
In the pdf from the code below measure 16 with the turn
- the turn seems to have durational value throwing the
rest of the piece off.
Perhaps there is something I do not understand about
current practise with turns but this seems wrong and I
can't find a way to fix it.
Thanks

You have accidentally dotted the quarter note C in the measure before the turn. That's what's throwing your time off.
