wandering dynamics...
Hello everyone! I've recently started using lilypond, and an having a ball. It is a fabulous program - I've only produced a few simple scores, but everyone who has seen them has been very impressed - and I'm just a newbie to this. However, I have now hit a problem which I can't solve. For some reason, some (but not all) of the dynamic marks in my latest attempt are printing very very low - way below the staff. And I don't know why... :-( I can correct them using the 'override' function with DynamicText, but whilst that puts them back in the right place, it seems that as far as the line spacing is concerned lilypond still behaves as if they are in the wrong place - so the spacing of the staves is very uneven. I'm using version 2.8.5, and the .ly file I'm working on is here: http://home.exetel.com.au/chillikebab/ibert3.ly I've commented the file where the problems are; the 'overrides' are commented out at the monent so the dynamics print out in the wrong place. If you put the overrides back in you can see that the dynamics look OK, but the line spacing doesn't change. Any help for a lilypond newbie woudl be appreciated. PS the piece is the viola part for Ibert's 'Saxophone Conertino', 2nd movement, in case you were wondering...! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I must have mistyped "transpose" when I searched for it; either that, or it was playing hide-and-seek with me -- and won ;) Anyway, thanks for the tip.

Analysis brackets & linebreaks
Dear all, I'm considering using Lilypond for my musicology thesis, but I am still learning it and there's one thing I still can't work around, which is the following: - I'd like to use analysis brackets to indicate the form of a melody, but the horizontal brackets created by \startGroup\stopGroup split into two seperate brackets over a line break, but what I would prefer is one half-bracket with an open (i.e. horizontal) ending and one half with an open beginning (¬) at the next line. How can I solve this? I have noticed that the example with the split ties under the 'difficult tweaks' section in the manual (9.3.6), together with the edge-height property may offer a solution, but I haven't been able to get this to work. (Actually, I am still hoping that there may be a more smooth and elegant solution to my seemingly simple problem, too...) - Besides, is there a easy way to place letters just above these brackets (to indicate phrases like A, B, A', etc)? Is there anone who can help me with this?

Polyphonic Tablature
Hiya. Lilypond newbie here - so I'm probably mangling the terminology...
I am trying to re-use the same (polyphonic, separated by \\) notes for
both a regular staff and a tablature staff, but the tablature and \\
don't seem to be playing nice, so instead of typing out the notes just
once in a macro and invoking it twice, I have to re-jig the two voices
as a single-voiced chords in the tablature version, ending up with an
inelegant duplication of effort.
Picture of what I want to achieve:
http://nigel.tao.googlepages.com/polyphonic-tablature.png
What I'm doing:
--
{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key d \major
\clef "G_8"
<<
{
fis'8 a d' fis'
e' fis ais
} \\
{
d2 cis
}
>>
}
\new TabStaff {
\override TabStaff.Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override TabStaff.Beam #'transparent = ##t
8 a d' fis'
fis ais
}
}
--
What doesn't work
--
notes = <<
{
fis'8 a d' fis'
e' fis ais
} \\
{
d2 cis
}
>>
{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff {
\key d \major
\clef "G_8"
\notes
}
\new TabStaff {
\override TabStaff.Stem #'transparent = ##t
\override TabStaff.Beam #'transparent = ##t
\notes
}
}
--
Trying the second way, I get an empty TAB staff and doubled notes on
the regular staff. If I take out the \overrides (even though I really
want to hide the stems and beams), then I get four staves, of which
the second one (TAB) is empty.
Cutting out the << \\ >> "works", in that I get the same notes exactly
once on each clef, but that isn't the music I want to write. :-)
I was just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or whether what I
want to do is just not easy? I am on version 2.6.3, if that matters,
since that's what my distro gave me...
thanks,
Nigel.

Re: Polyphonic Tablature
Yes this has been a problem I've had too, it would be nice if one can use the
same notes/voices on both the staff and tabstaff, without duplicating the
work.

Re: Polyphonic Tablature
Thanks Mats, but this example is still producing 2 separate tab staffs, not a
single polyphonic one.
