RhythmicStaff
If I'm creating a sheet of short rhythms [ex below], do I meed to use \RhythmicStaff for each rhythm, or can I do something globally? \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "1 " b'2 b r4 b r b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "2 " b'2. b4 r4 b8 b r4 b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } Charles -- http://www.campdeadly.com http://www.campdeadly.com/blog ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Numering for exercises
One solution is to make all the exercises as separate lines of the same \score and use the rehearsal mark mechanism for the numbering. Here's an example: \version "2.10.33" #(set-default-paper-size "letter") newexample = { \break % Force a time signature at the top of the new example \time 4/4 % Typeset the number \mark \default } \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \newexample b'2 b r4 b r b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." \newexample b'2. b4 r4 b8 b r4 b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } \layout{ % Only make each line as long as necessary ragged-right = ##t % Don't indent the first line (= first example) indent = 0 \context{ \Score % Get rid of bar numbering \remove Bar_number_engraver % Get rid of reminder time signature at the end of the% previous line \override TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible % Use numbers instead of letters markFormatter = #format-mark-numbers } } /Mats Quoting Charles Gran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I'm looking for a way to number short rhythms and melodies on practice sheets for an ear training class I'm teaching. The example below looks how I want it, but I am wondering if there is some way to have the exercises numbered automatically. \version "2.10.33" #(set-default-paper-size "letter") \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "1 " b'2 b r4 b r b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "2 " b'2. b4 r4 b8 b r4 b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } The above is what I want, but it would be great if there was some way to have the exercises numbered automatically.

Re: RhythmicStaff
Quoting Charles Gran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: If I'm creating a sheet of short rhythms [ex below], do I meed to use \RhythmicStaff for each rhythm, or can I do something globally? Nothing that would simplify the input. What you can do is to remove the explicit \score{...}, i.e. each separate example could look like \new RhythmicStaff{ ... } /Mats \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "1 " b'2 b r4 b r b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } \score { \new RhythmicStaff { \time 4/4 \set Staff.instrumentName = "2 " b'2. b4 r4 b8 b r4 b b r b r b2 r4 b \bar "|." } } Charles -- http://www.campdeadly.com http://www.campdeadly.com/blog ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
GDP: add "extender line" to the glossary?
Should we add "extender line" to the glossary? Is this a real musical term, or a made-up lilypond term? Any vocalists want to comment? Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Placing ornaments, logo's
Hi, I produce my music sheets with the PostScript/PDF backends. Now I'd want to include a logo and some other mainly fixed texts on the sheets. Can this be done with Lilypond? I tried lilypond-book but that doesn't work (it screws up the output). OOoLilyPond doesn't seem to be able to handle bigger scores. -- Johan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
custom, variable paper size?
Having just rememberd that Lilypond can output png files for web use I'm now wondering about how to trim the image automatically. If I want to create a PNG of a simple snip[1]: \relative c'' { \time 6/4 \key ees \major c2 (g4 ees'2 d4) c2. ( g4 ) g' ( f ) } What can one do to get lilypond to generate the two bars with some moderate, small amount of surrounding whitespace instead of a full A4 or Letter or whatever sized PNG page?

You read 4.6.3 in the Program Usage on opihi. I think that change made it into the 2.11 docs, as well. - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Sounds good. Could you add this to your list, John? We only need to link to the GDP branch until 2.13 exists (and we merge GDP); thereafter it should point to master.
