Hi, I'm on Suse 10.1 as well, and for me JPedal has not crashed jEdit
when loading an updated image.

But speaking about JPedal,a detail: when I click a notehead, jEdit gets
activated all right, but the passive JPedal window stays still on the
top. Can this behavior be changed and Stephen, does this happen to you
also?

And then, is there a way to scroll the JPedal page from your keyboard?
-It does not seem to react to PageDown or arrow keys or space key or tab
key or anything but autoscrolling or the scroll-bar.

In general, this new version seems rather stable and point-and-click
also works now reliably.  Fine, I'm very happy with it! Good work, Bert!

greetings, Tapio

Re: Tip/Trick: elision between lyric syllables

Depends on how much of a perfectionist you are.  I've used the Unicode 
"undertie" character ("‿") directly in a score, and in my opinion it looked
good enough.  Not perfect, but good enough.

IMHO, the display of any particular character in a font is a font, rather than
a character set issue.  It actually looks closer to what I expect using e.g.
emacs' "fixed" font, or whatever font I'm using right now in a web browser,
 than it looks using Lilypond's lyric typesetting font, but I haven't studied 
the 
documentation for this character well enough to say which font is more
conformant.

Anyway, the following works well *enough* for me with no further ado[1]:

tiWords = \lyricmode {
  Tu che di ver -- de‿il pra -- to
  ve -- sti‿e‿i giar -- din di fio -- ri,
  %% ...etc
}

[1] OK, so I had to bind a key combination to that character, but after that
it was all smooth sailing.

Mine crashed several times on the first day but rarely since then.  I use
AMD64 and a poorly supported chipset so that may be causing my problems. 
But in any case, it seems to have stabilized.

At home, I use two monitors so this isn't an issue.  At work, I tile the
screens or else put them on different desktops.  So I haven't really run
into this problem.

Just moving the mouse within JPedal causes it to move to any unseen spot
on the same page.  But I view it at 75% so I can see the whole page.  I
don't know any keyboard shortcuts for moving from page to page.  If there
are any, I'd love to hear about them.

InnerStaffGroup problems

2006-09-09 Thread Christopher Culver
I'm using 2.8.0. With the following code:

\new StaffGroup = "strings" <<
  \new InnerStaffGroup = "cellos" <<
   \set InnerStaffGroup.systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartSquare
   \new Staff = "cellosI" \cellosINotes
   \new Staff = "cellosII" \cellosINotes >> >>

The InnerStaffGroup does indeed display properly in the PDF, but while
compiling I get:

  warning: can't find or create new `InnerStaffGroup'
  warning: can't find or create `InnerStaffGroup' called `'

What am I doing here there?

Also, I want to set a label for the InnerStaffGroup. I've tried:

  \set InnerStaffGroup.instr = "Vc. div."

but it has no effect.

You can move to the next page with Ctrl-right and previous page with
Ctrl-left, first page with Home and last with End. With Ctrl-N you can
enter the desired page number.
(This information comes from View>Goto)

Change to Gregorian Transcript template?

2006-09-09 Thread Geoff Horton

I must have never before used this on anything with an accidental in
it, because I just noticed some undesirable (to my mind) behavior.
(2.8.6 Windows version, docs to match.) Consider a line like this:

a bf a a \divisioMinima g a b

I think most chants wouldn't show a natural sign before that final b,
but Lilypond will set one. That can be turned off by placing a
#(set-accidental-style 'forget) right after the Score.timing line, and
that's what I'd suggest doing in the template. This would be the
correct default behavior in most cases, I believe.

Hi,

Just finishing up a score and I need both a French and a German
translation of the preface to the piece.

It's flute music with some phonetics things going on and the preface
is around 1000 words dealing with a description of the piece and the
notation. 100% LilyPond.

Is anyone interested? I'll gladly pay EUR 100 per language
(preferrably via PayPal).

Please be a native speaker. (Extra bonus points for composers,
flutists of folks with an interest in phonetics!)

If interested, please mail me privately and I'll send you the .ly file
to take a look at.


Many thanks to the kind French- and German-speaking LilyPonders who
took the time to respond.

Both languages now have takers, and I appreciate being allowed to take
up a bit of list space for this personal project.

Thanks, everyone.

Re: arpeggio across voices

2006-09-09 Thread Jay Anderson

Thanks for that. It looks great! Just one little question. Do you know
why I'm still getting this error?:

programming error: no heads for arpeggio found?
continuing, cross fingers

I even get this in the example your provided. I can live with this
though. I just try to minimize these warnings/errors. I've only tried
this on 2.9.17 so perhaps it works fine on 2.8. Thanks again!

By default, LilyPond will only connect arpeggios between different staves,

otherwise there is no other arpeggio to connect to. The following

Manual pat on the back

I just installed 2.9.17 and the user manual sure looks great, so here's a
virtual "pat on the back" to the writers.  I especially like the blue

Re: re-install

2006-09-09 Thread Frédéric Bron
You should not use 2.6.4 for cygwin because the font system has a 
serious bug.
Instead you should install 2.8.6 ou 2.6.4 for Windows and use it from 
cygwin if you want (that's what I do).
