Re: Reverse-direction ties?
Dave LaDelfa wrote: The workaround in other software I've used (predominantly MusicPress) is to manually set each tie in the "wrong" direction. The problem with this is that once you transpose the notes (e.g. to extract a horn or clarinet part) you have to go through and manually redo any of the ties whose notes have crossed the center line and flipped stem direction. This seems like it would be a horrendous nightmare in Lilypond due to the way the scores and parts typically derive from the same notestream. Hi, have a look at lily/tie.cc, get_default_direction().

Re: Producing postscript for custom paper size (9x12" manuscript paper)?
John Hawkinson wrote: Err, I'm not sure I follow. If LilyPond is generating PostScript output, it needs to specify the size of the rendered page in the PostScript. Otherwise the PostScript is incomplete and cannot be properly processed by printers and by the PDF generator both (this is why the LilyPond-produced PDF of a 9x12 page runs off the edge when viewed in Acrobat Reader). They can only guess a paper size, either by their own default, or based on the %%DocumentPaperSizes: DSC comment, which is just an advisory comment (and, actually, DocumentPaperSizes is deprecated; instead LilyPond should be generating a %%DocumentMedia comment, which can include it does, at least 2.8 does. actual page dimensions) and won't actually help with a printer (though it might help with Acrobat Distiller or Ghostscript). I don't think there were any printer-specifics in the code in my email. It should work for any compliant Level 2 or Level 3 Postscript I thought I saw ManualFeed in there? Doesn't that make sense only for certain printers Is there a reason you don't want to output the /PageSize info? No, there's not.

Re: Markup next to a note:
None, really - I confess I hadn't learnt how to use extra-offset and wasn't aware that you could use it to get the text to appear overlaid on the staff. The Postscript comes into its own when adding a piece of text in the normal way would push other objects out of the way (as with a bracket spanning lyrics). It also allows you to do lots of clever things. But it's probably a sledgehammer to crack a nut in this case.

Doesn't that make sense only for > certain printers In the current patch (which was more intended as "how I solved this" and not really prepared for verbatim inclusion), /ManualFeed true is set for level 2 PostScript printers if you have 9x12 paper, because there is unlikely to be a paper tray containing that paper. /ManualFeed is part of the postscript standard, and if there are printers without a manual feed feature, they should simply ignore the attribute. (Note that /ManualFeed true does not imply that there is necessarily a separate tray. On some printers, it changes the printers expectation of how an existing paper input will be used and lets it disregard what it thinks is in the tray.) Would you prefer to treat it as an option like 'landscape? E.g.: #(set-default-paper-size "manuscript" 'manualfeed) My impression is that this is just an extra option that won't benefit anyone and would cause confusion, since I don't think anyone would not want that option. > >Is there a reason you don't want to output the /PageSize info? > > No, there's not.

Hello, I'm a Czech music teacher. I'm visually impaired, so creating scores graphically is very tiring for my eyes. I just downloaded and installed LilyPond 2.8.1 on WindowsXP Pro Czech edition. As a Czech user, I'd like to use Czech accented characters within text elements in LilyPond. 1. I have never used Unicode-capable text editor, all my plain-text files are stored using cp1250 codepage. I'd like to use Notepad++ (based on Scintilla engine) as an input file editor. Is there any support for this editor? How to save an input file so that CZ characters appear correctly in output? 2. Is there a way to output LilyPond score as a raster image with preset dpi value (e.g. 300, 600 dpi), so that I could create short music examples and insert them as images into Windows word processor?

I was impressed with Lilypond's cool and fast syntax. I wrote some songs in it, but now unfortunately I need to export those songs back to Finale. (My music professor doesn't like Lilypond...) I've seen that Lilypond has great support for importing other file formats, but had a hard time finding a way to export. Is there a ly to etf, or even better ly to MusicXML converter? I tried exporting to a MIDI, and then importing the MIDI in Finale, but of course this lost all articulation. -Ben ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
RehearsalMark break-visibility
I've been trying to get a rehearsal mark to show up at the end of a
staff. (The object is eventually to use markup such as a fermata
here.) Here's a stripped-down example:
% begin lilypond code %
\version "2.8.1"
eolMark = {
\once\override RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-visible
\mark\default
\break
}
\relative c' {
c d e f g a b c \eolMark
c b a g f e d c
}
% end lilypond code %
In this example, though, the rehearsal mark shows up at the beginning of
the second line rather than the end of the first. Any ideas?

Yes, read the manual, 8.1.3 Text marks:
To print the mark at the end of the current line, use
\override Score.RehearsalMark
#'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
I don't know why end-of-line-visible doesn't work, but since it isn't
mentioned in the manual, I don't think it's a serious problem.
You may also want to use
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
Cheers,

None of the break-visibility properties had any effect as long as I was doing \override RehearsalMark but they all had an effect (including end-of-line-visible) when I specified the following: \override Score.RehearsalMark In hindsight, this is semi-obvious, since before I was inside either the Staff or Voice context.

This are great news! I really like the general behaviour of LilyPad (and it runs much better than jEdit+LilyTool on my Mac). Some small requests (perhaps everything done already): - save default size & position of windows (I want editor & preview side by side) - line numbering in editor window! - please make completion switchable (I find it very nasty in most editors, because it gets in your way, swallows keys, slows down typing etc.) - run convert-ly - switch off auto-preview temporarily (without going to the prefs) - increase/decrease indent of marked lines using tab/shift-tab (the actual keys don't work on every int'l keyboard) - the MIDI player doesn't understand speed settings (but I guess that's beyond your scope) Regarding auto-preview: It's really a nice feature, but doesn't yet behave "just right". I'd like to start it with every "save" (or after the delay) and then run through (but stoppable), regardless what I type in the meantime. For it's not possible to just preview the part I work at, that would show my progress better than if I must stop typing to see anything. Perhaps you can make that behaviour configurable, too.

Re: Control space between notes?
Hi again...
1. when i use raggedright, it simply makes the bars as small as possible...
How do i use this function, so that one bar still is one whole line? (or a
half?)
2. when i use << >> around 2 different parts, it automaticly puts sets these
two parts together with a vertical line. As if they where SATB ... Can this
be done otherwise?

Apparently, Jannik had two separate \score{...} blocks. As David pointed
out, one method is to typeset them as a single score with two staves.
Another is to use raggedright
possibly combined with the proportional engraver.

I think what I would try in your case is setting each row with an invisible line of sixteenth notes. See if you have a copy of partial-blank.ly on your computer and use that as a starting point.

No pagebreaks within a score?
I'm trying to put lots of scores in a \book, and I want the output such that no score is split between two pages. I don't care if a page ends up half-full because the next score is too long to fit on the bottom of the page, but requiring my musicians to turn pages is, in this case, bad.
For the most part, the scores I'm doing are only 4 line long, and I can easily get 2 on a page, but right now lilypond is sometimes wanting to put the header and one line on the bottom of one page under another piece or two, and then the remainder on the next page, and this condition simply propagates through the book.
I've tried adding \score { \pageBreak } between scores where I know pagebreaks should fall, but it doesn't seem to do anything.Does anyone have any suggestions?

In Section 10.5.9 of the manual it suggests:
"To force a new page for a new piece (in a collection of pieces or a piece in
several movements), use breakbefore in the header."
Will that work for you?

Reduce space between title and top of the page
here is the code:
\version "2.8.0"
\paper
{
#(set-paper-size "a4")
top-margin = 0.7\cm
}
\header
{
title = "Title"
composer = "Composer"
meter = "Meter"
}
\score
{
\relative
{
c''1 c2 c4 c \break
}
}
\layout {}
%%%
The problem: I can't reduce the top-margin. The source above produces a
incorrect distance between the title and the top of the page (it's
larger than 0.7 cm).
I tried to read manual about page layout and page settings, but I
can't reduce the top margin. How can I reduce this space???

The manual isn't too clear on this exact point. Use this:
\paper {
annotate-spacing = ##t
}
to find out what commands are doing what.
(this is documented under "Vertical spacing", but not "page
formatting". This has been fixed in CVS.

Trouble lining up Fine mark
I want the right side of the Fine mark to line up with the double bar
line, so I did
... music
\override Score.RehearsalMark
#'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
\mark \markup {\large Fine}
\bar "||"
\key bf \major
... music ...
But the Fine ended up aligned to the key change signature. What am I
doing wrong? Also, does anyone have a good macro for doing Fine
marks?
