2 problems
Greeetings -
I'm running LilyPond 2.10.10 under Windows XP Pro SP2. I'm using ConTEXT
v0.98.3, with the LilyPond Highlighter.
While running convert-ly, some of my files would not update; I got an error
message that convert-ly couldn't find the version number, even though \version
"2.10.1" was the first uncommented (i.e., beginning with %) line in the file.
I also am having problems with the file structure, so I decided to start
simply, and from scratch, but I'm having problems with that, too. I can't
figure out what's wrong with this file, but I suspect the problem may be
related to the missing version problem.
% Begin Snippet %%%
%% A Major Scale
\version "2.10.10"
\include "english.ly"
\header {}
\key = { \key a \major
}
\time 4/4
scale = {
A1
}
% Score
\score {
\scale
}
%% End Snippet %
And here's the log:

Any help will be greatly appreciated. I like LilyPond and the result I can
(usually) get.

Re: 2 problems
My best guess is that your text editor saves the file in some strange
format.
Make sure that the text encoding of the file is UTF-8 (or plain 7-bit
ASCII).

I also am having problems with the file structure, so I decided to start simply, and from scratch, but I'm having problems with that, too. Now, that's what I have written LilyPondTool's Document Wizard for.

get an accidental to not print
Hi all,
sorry if this has been addressed already, it's hard for me to find any
reference in the archive.
! = print the accidental manually
? = print a cautionary accidental
what about _don't_ print an accidental? like i write "cis" but don't
want it to print the accidental?
here's the situation...
I'm notating a piece with a 32/4 time signature so Lilypond sees that
as 32 beats to a bar. but, i have subdivisions in the piece, every 4
beats i'll have ":" to help clean stuff up, make it readable. i use
this:
\repeat unfold 4 { s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar "|"
\break s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar ":" s1 \bar "||" \break }
ok so now my problem is that if I have a "cis" in one " : bar : " then
in the next bar a "c", it prints a natural sign to cancel out the
sharp, but I don't need that sign there, Lilypond is respecting the
time signature. what's the best way to handle this?
I hope this all makes sense, I can't find anything in the manual that
can help me.
thanks!

Notehead collisions, accidentals
Hi all,
This is really about three issues, but they're related, so bear with me
please.
1. There seems to have been a decision made at some point to merge
note heads in some cases (see collision-head-chords.ly in the
regression tests and the second chord in the example code below). I
personally find this ugly and cannot find an example in my library of
published music where an engraver has taken this same decision. I
prefer the forked stem solution - see the attached picture. I would be
interested in others' opinions on this, and advice as to any possible
workarounds.
2. Forcing the display of all accidentals with ! demonstrates a
collision bug - perhaps forced accidentals are bypassing the accidental
collision code?
3. These points are both related to a feature request for a new
accidental style which is common in quite a lot of contemporary music.
That is, accidentals, including naturals, before _every_ note,
excepting immediate repetitions.
I see some of these things have been discussed previously, but no
conclusions reached...

Cheers,
Mark

Re: Notehead collisions, accidentals
Quoting Mark Knoop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi all, This is really about three issues, but they're related, so bear with me please. 1. There seems to have been a decision made at some point to merge note heads in some cases (see collision-head-chords.ly in the regression tests and the second chord in the example code below). I personally find this ugly and cannot find an example in my library of published music where an engraver has taken this same decision. I prefer the forked stem solution - see the attached picture. I would be interested in others' opinions on this, and advice as to any possible workarounds. Unfortunately, there isn't any support for forked stems in LilyPond at the moment, but the feature has been requested a number of times over the years. 2. Forcing the display of all accidentals with ! demonstrates a collision bug - perhaps forced accidentals are bypassing the accidental collision code? If you try 4 you will realize that it doesn't have anything to do with forced accidentals per se. Rather, it seems like a bug that you don't get a natural if you do 3. These points are both related to a feature request for a new accidental style which is common in quite a lot of contemporary music. That is, accidentals, including naturals, before _every_ note, excepting immediate repetitions. See the section on Automatic Accidentals. You probably want something close to #(set-accidental-style 'forget) however, the tricky aspect is the "except immediate repetitions" which isn't supported as far as I know. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

One problem I can see (although it isn't obvious in the output) is that
the note in the \scale deinition should be 'a' not 'A'. That might be
the source of the 'unexpected =' error.
Can't help with the other questions though.

I don't know if you could get this by changing accidental rules: check section 9.1.1 'Automatic accidentals' (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Automatic-accidentals#Automatic-accidentals) for more info. -- = Cameron Horsburgh = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
where to specify bar number commands?
I'm trying to turn off bar numbers using the following command, as specified in the documentation: \property Score.BarNumber \override #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible LilyPond chokes on it with the following errors: error: unknown escaped string: `\property' error: syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting '=' I've tried putting the command several places in the LilyPond file, but I still get the error. Where is it supposed to go? Thanks! -- Ed +---+ | Edward L.

Please read the documentation for your lilypond version -- hopefully this is 2.10.x.
