the output looks totally fine except that the "/parenthesize"-ed notes

you have to use
< \parenthesize NOTE >4
even for single notes.

Re: convert-ly detailed steps for use by a non programmer.
From: "Mats Bengtsson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, May 20, 2006 4:08 PM First of all, download and install the latest stable version (2.8.3-1), where convert-ly seems to work without having to install extra programs. Then, to update a file: 1. Start a command prompt (Start menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt) 2. Change working directory to the folder where you have your .ly file. For example, if you have it stored in a folder Lily in My Documents, run the command: cd "My Documents\Lily" (notice that you can save typing, using the tab key. Type in cd My and press the Tab key, then add \L and press Tab again.) 3. Run the command itself. For example, if your file is called myfile.ly, run convert-ly -e myfile.ly Another helpful hint is that convert-ly takes wild cards. If you want to convert all the lilypond files in a directory at once, you can type: convert-ly -e *.ly Stephen This will update the syntax of the file.

Re: Formatting Stanza Numbers
In addition to what I just said, you can of course modify the
font of the stanza number, by setting properties on the
StanzaNumber layout object, for example
\override StanzaNumber #'font-shape = #'italic
Similarly, you can set the extra-offset property to move
it around relative to the lyrics.

you can specify a markup as the argument. However,

Re: avoid-slur for ties
Hello list, hello Mats,
Thanks for Your answer, but for me it is not exhaustive enough:
> Isn't it that if you specify the avoid-slur property of the Tie
> object, then slurs will avoid ties (not that ties will avoid scripts
> as you seem to think)?
Maybe I'm understanding it not quite correctly (my English isn't very
good, so it's almost hard work for me to understand the documentation,
and sometimes (after reading for inspiration) I've success with try and
error).
In the case of avoid-slur I got the hint for this user-setable property
from a lilypond warning:
avoid-slur.ly:7:4: warning: Ignoring grob for slur. avoid-slur not set?
e4
-^ ( f g f->)[5]
The simple code was:
\relative c' {
e4-^( f g f->)
}
So I read the documentation and was able to set some avoidings
concerning fingerings and staccato and so on.
For example, if I want slurs avoiding scripts, the following DOES WORK:
\override Script #'avoid-slur = #'inside
e4-^( f g f->)
so that the Script is inside the slur and not vice versa.
I only was irritated because of the following two reasons:
1. Why do I get the warning from above for marcato, but not for
accent?
2. This way I couldn't see the difference between #'outside and
#'around ...
> Note that the avoid-slur property is set on a number of different
> objects by default, including Fingering, Accidental, DynamicText, Tie
> and several others.
I've regarded this, but in practice I got what I wanted to get, but for
slurs only and not for ties.
Now, concidering that I don't understand it the right way, could You or
someone else please explain with other words than those from the
documentation, how (and in which cases) to use the #'avoid-slur?
But the problem with ties remains:
> > \relative c' {

I don't know, if You've had a look at this example, but the output is
really not good!
How is it possible to improve it generally and not by setting
extra-offset or padding in each case?

What sort of price am I looking at to sponsor these - I guess it's just a new character in a font? Basically the four things I can think of at the moment are 1) tram-line caesurae Basically, the straight version of the tram-line we have now? I can add those for free with any of the following features. Yes please. Seeing as this is a modern caesura, I would suggest you alter the definition of the gregorian caesura to override the modern, and make the modern available by default. That way, it won't break any existing scores, but will give new scores the modern version by default. 2/3) straight-line and zigzag glisses WITHOUT a terminating note You could make a gliss to a transparent note. But I can also add it as feature. Price: 130 EUR. Ummm. Thinking about it, I'm not sure... I looked up hidden notes in the manual, and I'm not still not sure how to do it. Hidden notes have a duration, and what happens if I'm in 2/4 and want to gliss down a minim... Bear in mind also, it's jazz, and I'm a trombonist. What if I want to gliss *slowly* UP TO a minim? That's going to be a nightmare notation!!! I need my minim right-justified in the "note space" and the gliss occupies the minim-width. You had a problem with terminating one-note crescendi etc. I thought you had zero-length notes and then I tried it - it doesn't work :-) Can I suggest you fix both that problem and mine by making 0 a valid note length that also suppresses the note from printing. Then I can gliss from/to a zero length note, and your cresc/descresc can terminate on a zero note :-) Plus I need to be able to flag a note as right-justified so I can gliss to it :-) 4) not sure what it's called, but it looks like a right parenthesis hanging from the note head, usually seen for trombones and trumpets, and again is a form of gliss. I think this is called a "fall." Price: 65 EUR; I will need some scans to be sure that we're talking about the same thing, though. I've found some printed and hand-written examples. I'll scan them as soon as I can, but expect a few days delay... Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W. Youngman - wol at thewolery dot demon dot co dot uk HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards.

Are you saying you are only interested in the fall (plus the caesura) since the glisses can be done with invisible notes? I'm not sure they can ... see my other post Ok. (I had to look up 'minim' since we don't use those words much on this side of the pond. :) ) I just asked since Han-Wen mentioned 130 EUR for that feature which leaves a larger balance.

Even and odd page-margins
Hi everybody! I'd like to ask if anyone knows a way to set different margins for odd and even pages with Lilypond. I've tried to find some information from the manual of boh 2.8 and 2.9 version, but I couldn't find anything. I wouldn't like to use lilypond-book to achieve my goal, because I think it would be a waste of resources to use two different programs to obtain a simple thing like this. I'd be also interested in sponsoring this feature, eventually. Another feature I'd like to see in lilypond is a set of properties for the first page of a score, or the page with title- something like "first-page-between-system-space" or "first-page-top-margin"; actually, the first page usually needs specific tuning, which are often not suitable for the rest of the score- so I've thought it would be pretty nice to have specific settings for the "title-page". I would be interested in sponsoring this feature too. Best wishes, Gianluca D'Orazio ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

German Text Characters
How can I get umlaut a, e and o (and double-s) into the German text of a Bach cantata? I believe there is a way by using \markup and \char #n, but haven't discoved how. It didn't work when I tried it using the Manual. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
