Forcing PDF to be one page?
Hi Again, I'm still trying to get a score to fit on a CD jewel case insert. Joe Neeman's suggestion that I adjust max-stretch enabled me to make the two staves in a PianoStaff be closer together. Unfortunately, tweaking all the different paper variables often causes quite nonsensical results, for example the PDF will have several pages, with only a single system placed at the bottom of the first page with a bunch of blank space above. Is there some way I can force Lilypond to just make the PDF fit on a single page? It's a short enough song that it should be able to do it.

I think you meant #'page-break-permission, which did the trick - setting #'line-break-permission forced the score to be just one line, which ran off the side of the page!

Lowering a \mark
Still working on my CD case insert...
I have the text "acc." above my PianoStaff where the tempo is increased.
I also have a hidden tempo change for the MIDI file.
My staves are quite close together on my PDF, because I only have the
height of a CD case to fit everything in. The "acc." mark is just below
the staff above where it is place, so it looks like it's associated with
the upper staff and not the one below it.
But adjusting Y-offset for the RehearsalMark doesn't have any effect.
I've tried many different values.
I'm using Lilypond 2.11.18.
Here is the source in question:
\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'transparent = ##t
\tempo 4 = 55 {
\override RehearsalMark #'Y-offset = #-2
\mark "acc."
\times 2/3 { e8 c8 a8 }
}
Thanks for your help!
I've been printed CD case inserts on my inkjet printer, but once I am
able to put the score on the inner pages, I expect to have a commercial
printer print me a large number of them. I've been waiting just for
this before doing so.

Re: Lowering a \mark
Why not try \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-offset = (0 . -4 )
(adjust -4 until you get the mark where you want.)
Looking at your code again, you could also try replacing RehearsalMark with
Score.RehearsalMark I've never used Y-offset to move things about, but perhaps
it works too.

extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a \mark)
Dear David,
In your case, the reason it didn't work was that you hadn't identified the
RehearsalMark correctly. If you look at the page for Mark-engraver it tells you:
Mark_engraver is part of contexts: Score
so unless you tell Lilypond to look in the Score context it isn't going to find
any objects named RehearsalMark.
>>Y-offset is documented as a property of RehearsalMark but doesn't seem
to really be so.
Y-offset is a user-settable property of Score.RehearsalMark - you could have
followed my second suggestion. I think the reason that it is reccomended to use
extra-offset is that extra-offset is by default set to #'(0 . 0) so that any
changes you make will be relative to the X- and Y- offset values that work most
of the time. If you decided that you wanted to adjust the default positions of
an object for the whole score, then I would suggest using these properties.
(Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!)
On another subject, I spent 20 minutes searching for why there is no padding
property for DynamicText before finding that the padding is controlled by the
DynamicLineSpanner . Could this be slightly more explicitly stated in the
documentation, maybe on the pages of the objects controlled by it?
Cheers,
Vivian.

Re: extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a mark)
I recommend you to primarily use the padding and staff-padding properties to adjust the vertical position of objects. Then, LilyPond will automatically take the new position of the object into account, for example when calculating the distance to the next stave. If you use extra-offset, the object will be moved after all other typesetting decisions have been made, i.e. nothing else will move (which sometimes is an advantage, but often not). Regarding the padding of dynamics, the DynamicLineSpanner object is mentioned under "Commonly tweaked properties" in the section on Dynamics. However, only in connection to the staff-padding property, not the padding property. Could you please propose more exactly how to modify the documentation, based on your experience of where you searched and didn't find it.

Fw: extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a mark)
Dear Mats and others, I would suggest putting a note on the backend pages of the Program Reference. It seemed such a logical thing to just do \once \override DynamicText #'padding = #4 that I didn't even check if that was possible. (I then remembered that the last time I had tried this and it hadn't worked I had just used #'extra-offset.) Then I noticed it hadn't worked and started trying to work out why. When I looked at: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/DynamicText#DynamicText I noticed there wasn't a padding property listed (which seemed odd). After a search on the lilypond-user archives I found that the padding is controlled by the DynamicLineSpanner for DynamicText, Hairpin and DynamicTextSpanner objects. I would suggest putting a link on the DynamicText page to the DynamicLineSpanner page http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/DynamicLineSpanner#DynamicLineSpanner with a note to say that padding for DynamicText objects is controlled by the padding of the DynamicLineSpanner. On a seperate point, could you (or someone else) explain to me what the DynamicTextSpanner is? I've never used it, and can't find how to create one (unless this is the text option for Hairpins as documented.)

A-Play - a New Shell for LilyPond
Dear all,
Saturday the 17 February, the existence of our “secret” A-Play application was
made public in a response e-mail from Valentin Villenave. We would like to
inform you a little more detailed about our new project.
A-Play is a web-based shell using the LilyPond language. A-Play used to be a
“normal” note-writing program, but we changed our mind, when we saw what
LilyPond was able to do.
A-PLAY WILL BE PUBLISHED VERY SOON ON WWW.A-PLAY.DK
==
The A-Play shell contains five menus with Copy Pads or "Pallets", which are
code snippets to be pasted into the score editor. After the list of the main
menus, you will find the expanded menu tree, allowing you to look deeper into
the inner working of our menu based copy and paste application.
We have the following statement: A-Play is a freeware GNU documentation or
application according to your liking. A-Play consists of a large range of ready
made templates, chords, scales and other snippet to be copied and pasted into
your favourite editor. A-Play only needs Lily Pond and a text editor to do its
job, i.e. making it easier to program scores. A-Play runs on Windows 98 to XP
and should be able to run on Linux without problems. We have not yet tested
other platforms.
A little teaser, a D(b5) chord box: We have got them in all keys and flavoures:
d^\markup \fret-diagram #"6-x;5-x;4-o;3-1;2-3;1-2;"
See a template example at the end of this (very long) intro.

Re: midi output dynamics, instrument tone
It's much easier to provide a relevant answer if you include a small example of what you tried. Using \set Staff.midiInstrument = ... should certainly work. Just put that command before the first note of the corresponding music. For the dynamics, just insert a normal dynamics indication like \f or \p or whatever in each part. If you don't want it included in the printed output, you can add \override DynamicText #'transparent = ##t before you use the dynamics. /Mats Quoting Ed Ardzinski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: basics - windows xp machine, Lilypond v2.6.5 I've been experimenting with getting midi outputs for my songs to help my band members (who really don't read music) get the idea. I've been able to combine the vocal melody with a detailed accompaniment part. I would like to have a little differentiation between the parts to make it easier to hear the parts. Two ideas come up - change the overall dynamics of the parts relative to each other, or change the tone of one part. I looked in the manual for v2.6 and saw the set Staff.midiInstrument command. I tried to put it in my score block and in the variable for my melody part and all the Midi output still sounds like a grand piano no matter what instruments I choose. Maybe the problem is I'm just listening to the midi file using Windows Media Player? The dynamics thing is even more confusing to me - all I'd like to do is tell the midi output to play the melody at full volume and the accompaniment part at some fraction. I don't care to have any dynamics on my printed output. Seems like a simple thing in concept, but frankly I seem lost trying to figure any thing about dynamics. I would appreciate any hints or tricks regarding midi dynamics and the part voicings. Thanks! _ Fit more fun into your day with Flexicon: the crossword game that feeds your brain.

Help please: Grace note slur to chord
I am having the following problem - any suggestions would be
appreciated
I cannot make a slur from the E grace note at the start of the
second bar go to the F#, it goes to the A in all the four
examples I tried below. As you can see, I have tried to think
laterally, but without success so far...
melody = {
\time 3/4 \key a \major \clef treble
\stemDown
8[ ] [ ] [
] \bar "|" \acciaccatura e'' < a' fis''>4 8[
] ([ )] \bar "|" \break 8[
] [ ] [ ]
\bar "|" \acciaccatura e'' < fis'' a'>4 8[ ]
([ )] \bar "|" \break
% (s64 to force the phrases onto the same staff)
s64 << {a'8[ b'] cis''[ a'] a'[ a']} {e''8 e'' e'' e''
fis''a''}>> \bar "|" << {\grace e''( fis''4) fis''8 g'' fis''
e''} { a'4 a'8[ a'] a'([ a')]}>> \bar "|" \break s64 << {a'8[
b' ] cis''[ a'] a'[ a']} {e''8 e'' e'' e'' fis''a''}>> \bar
"|" << {\acciaccatura e'' fis''4 fis''8 g'' fis'' e''} { a'4
a'8[ a'] a'([ a')]}>> \bar "|" }
