Lyric-notehead alignment problem
[apologies - I originally sent this to lilypond-bugs, I shouldn't
have]
I'm getting lyrics left-aligned to noteheads with autobeaming off.
I'm looking for normal alignment (first vowel of syllable).
See the attached .png - it seems to be left-aligning every syllable
except for the last syllable on a beam.
This is a stripped down snippet that compiles and illustrates
the problem I've got:
\version "2.10.13"
\score {
<<
\new Voice = "alaw"
\relative c''
{
\time 2/4
\key g \minor
\clef treble
\autoBeamOff
bes8[ d d c] |
bes[ d ees d16 d] |
\bar "||"
}
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
Ar8 ddydd Sul aeth
Dic yn ben -- noeth16 mewn
} >>
}
Is this a bug, or my problem? Can I fix it? Am I doing
something totally wrong (I'm a lilypond starter). I
realise that my notation is unusual (my beaming doesn't
indicate melismas), but I'm copying an 18th century
original, and it needs to stay that way.
Also, with languages with a different vowel set (this is
Welsh!) is there a way I can tell lilypond about these
so that the 'first vowel notehead alignment' works properly
with 'aeouiwy' - the Welsh vowel set?
Thanks.

Re: Lyric-notehead alignment problem
I don't understand. If you say \autoBeamOff, a8[ b] will be regarded as a melisma.

Re: Lyric-notehead alignment problem
You may also be mislead by something. If you want manual beaming, you don't have to say \autoBeamOff, just use a[ b c d] If you still want to leave 8th notes without automatic beams, without saying \autoBeamOff you can set up something like this: #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * * *) 1 8) Bert Illtud Daniel írta: Bertalan Fodor wrote: It's not a bug.

Problems with Midi
OK, I'm gonna try this again ...
A few days ago, I wrote the list asking a question about midi, and saw that
my message came out in the digest, but I've got no help about it, so here's
my question again:
I'm arranging a hymn for barbershop chorus, and frequently want to check my
work to make sure I get the unique barbershop harmonies correct. I was
playing the midi file (with simple piano -- instrument is not important).
This was working fine until I introduced some 'divisi' voices in the last
stanza. Then, all of a sudden the midi file seemed only to contain (or at
least, only to play) the lower staff notes. Nothing I do seems to help this
-- I can't play the full piece. I've tried with the jEdit LilyPond Tool
interface, and with WinAmp -- both sound the same.
When I compile, I get no warnings about anything going wrong, nor do I have
any problem with the PDF display. I *would* appreciate faster compile
times, but I'm told I need more RAM for that, so I'll settle for fixing my
midi ...
I am using LilyPond 2.11.14, jEdit 4.3pre9, LilyPond Tool, and Windoze XP
Pro. My file follows my signature. Thanks for your help.

Controlling the very first bit of "preferatory" spacing?
Hi,
This is obscure, but I figure it can't hurt to ask ...
In this rhythmic snippet, the "perferatory" spacing on only the very
first system collapses down to nothing (compared to the remaining
three systems). Is there any way to control this amount of
system-initial spacing and make it equal that of the remaining three
systems?
(It seems to me there was something about this somewhere in the
manual, but I'm coming up blank.)
FWIW, I think this only happens if you're using a RhythmicStaff with
proportional notation.
%%% BEGIN %%%
\version "2.11.16"
\layout { indent = #0 }
\new Score \with {
proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 32)
} {

\remove Time_signature_engraver
} {
\repeat unfold 4 {
c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16
c'16 c'16 c'16 c'16

Does this work? The beaming is the same as in your .png, and the lyrics are
properly aligned, as near as I can tell.

Re: Problems with Midi
Fr Gilbert:
I typeset your example as is on version 2.11.13 on a Mac OS X. I got
pdf output (in spite of errors) but no midi. Then I moved the close
bracket for the \score command from before the \layout to the end of
the file. I re-typeset. Got the midi file. And it sounded
complete. In the midi section of the manual it says the midi should
be inside \score. Maybe that is the issue.
Good luck.

RE: Problems with Midi
This might not be much help, but I tried your file on 2.8.6 (which I am
still using) with a rearrangement of the \midi \layout and \score to suit
the 2.8.6 format and it seemed to produce correct pdf and midi, although I
didn't get the tempo right. Here's the midi file for you to check.

Re: Problems with Midi
Fred, Thanks so much for such a simple solution. Funny thing is, I didn't change the \score section *or* the \layout or the \midi section. I simply introduced some new notes and parts, when the midi quit working. But it works fine now, thank you very much. BTW, what errors were you getting when you compiled it? I get no errors on my system -- it compiles fine, although I now realise I've got a lot of note-reworking to do now ... Blessings, Fr. Gordon+ -- Fr.

Re: Problems with Midi
Trevor, Thanks for your help. Actually, Fred gave me a very simple fix -- move the curly brace for the end of the \score section to the very end of the piece -- and it worked -- now I'm on my way.

Re: Problems with Midi
Fr Gordon I'm glad that was simple. Here are the errors. I don't understand them at all and they didn't seem to have an effect. Pango complaints. I have pango 1.14.2_0 on the system and all the pango stuff that came with LilyPond. No matter. Also, I only got chords on the first line of the PDF. LIke I said, if it works for you, then go for it.

Re: Problems with Midi
Yeah, Fred, I don't know what the Pango stuff is, either, but I get none of that on my compiles. The chords are only on the first line of the piece -- I haven't completed them yet, and won't until I complete the score. My daughter belongs to the Sweet Adelines chorus, and she has been helping their director to figure out some of the musicological stuff, so I'll put them in for their benefit, once the piece is exactly as I want it.

"Ossia" measures at the start of a system
Hello to everybody!
I'm typesetting a Mozart's aria with a preceding recitativo and I would like
to add some "ossia" measures to suggest appoggiature. Most of these measures
are actually only bits of a measure (such as the first two quaters).
I've followed the manual suggestion about ossia measures ( I'm using version
2.10.16) and I've almost obtained my goal. I've found only a problem: when
an "ossia" measure appears at the very start of a system, it is connected to
the other staves by the start delimiter. Is there a way to avoid this and let
the "ossia" measure (and its invisible "ossia" staff) alone as it is, for
instance, in the middle of a system?
This is a bit snippet to explain the situation I'm trying to modify:
SNIPPET BEGINS %
\version "2.10"
\score {
<<
\new Staff = ossia \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
\remove "Clef_engraver"
fontSize = #-2
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2)
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-1 . 1)
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
firstClef = ##f
} \relative c'' { \autoBeamOff \stopStaff s1*4 \break
| \startStaff c8 b \stopStaff s2. | s1*4 }
\new Staff \relative c'' { \autoBeamOff r4 r8 g g g a b | c4 r r2 | R1*2
| b8 b d b c4 r | R1*4 }
>>
}
% SNIPPET ENDS %%
In the resulting pdf, at the start of the second system, there's an "ossia"
measure connected with the other staff as if it were a normal staff. Is there
a way to avoid this?
Thank you all for your kindness!
