I'm sorry to bother you once more...

I had a look at the file you suggested. The bookTitleMarkup syntax
looks understandable and I probably could modify it to get the output
I want. However, that would affect all other music I write. It seems
that the bookTitleMarkup seems somehow to grab the header fields from
the actual .ly file but I don't have a clue how's that done – the rest
of the file (Scheme?) is still out of my grasp.

I tried to create a copy of the file, modify it and include it into my
music. That didn't work, though, and the header fields were printed as
usual. I also tried to copy all the stuff inside my music file with
similar results. :-(

Re: Custom font commands (for header fields)

[Mats Bengtsson]

I hope you have read the section on Custom titles in the manual, which shows
how to do these changes within your own .ly file (or separate .ily file 
to include),
preferably using code copied from titling-init.ly as a starting point. 
Maybe, the
detailed you missed was to include the setting in a \paper{...} block? 
You should
of course not do any changes in the original titling-init.ly file, since 
such changes
will be lost the next time you upgrade, and as you say they will affect 
also other

scores.

Re: Changing header font name

[Mats Bengtsson]

It seems that nobody has answered your question. I hope you have read
the section on Font selection, which among others shows the answer to
your second question (using #(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree ...  ).

For your first question on how to change the fonts for only the header 
fields
but not for the rest of the score, the answer is surprisingly simple 
ones you

realize that the full header is typeset using a single markup  command
(read "Custom titles" for more information), so you can add a definition
like

\paper{
 bookTitleMarkup = \markup {\override #'(font-name . "Tahoma") 
\bookTitleMarkup }

}

which just keeps the default header layout but changes the font to Tahoma.

for all markups, whereever they are: inside a score, outside a score, ... ?

Re: composition title on every page except the first

[Mats Bengtsson]

What you describe is exactly what LilyPond does by default, except that it
typesets the instrument field instead of the title field, centered at 
the page header
of all pages but the first one. This means that you can use the default 
definition
which can be found in .../ly/titling-init.ly and just replace 
"instrument" by "title".


If you want to understand better how the default layout is done, read
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-06/msg00313.html

Felipe Vogel wrote:

Hello, I am new to LilyPond (AWESOME program, by the way!) and I have some
questions about headers.
I want to have the title of a composition appear at the top of every page
(in a small font). I found this message that explains how to do this:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-02/msg00638.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-02/msg00638.html 
However, I don't want the title to appear on the first page, where the

normal title appears in the header already. Is there any way to make a
header appear only on pages after the first?

Also, I want to place the page number on the left side of the header on
every page, but I want to center the title. Currently I can do this with the
\hspace command. For example:

\paper {
  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
\hspace #40  % place enough space between the page number and the title
so that the title is centered
\fromproperty #'header:title
  }
  evenHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
\hspace #40
\fromproperty #'header:title
  }
}

But this way I have to experiment for a while to see what number I should
use with \hspace to center the title. Is there a better way to do this? And
another thing, I didn't put " " and \on-the-fly
#print-page-number-check-first (which were included in the message I linked
to) in there because they don't make any difference in the output. Should I
use these?

Thank you!

Since my first post, i increased the bottom margin, the result is OK when

I don't find if very useful at all. Why would you want negative page numbers
on some pages?
What would extremely be useful, on the other hand, would be the 
possibility to

reset the page numbering in the middle of a book. For example, this would
make it possible to typeset a number of instrumental parts from a single 
.ly file
and get the output in a single PDF file. Now, the best thing I can do is 
to make
a separate \book block for each part, and try to remember that ...-1.ly 
was the

viola part and ...-8.ly was the oboe part, when I want to quickly check that
the output was correct.
Maybe an attractive alternative could be to be able to get the output of 
several
\book{...} blocks into a single PDF file, but still keep the separate 
page numbering,

as well as the ragged-last-bottom and so on, in each \book.

Re: command line problem

[Mats Bengtsson]

If you haven't already figured out, the command to use is
cd "f:\music scores"
(Just type
cd f:\m
and then press TAB, and Windows will automatically fill in the full
line)
Then you can run the command
xml2ly symphony1.xml
and even
lilypond symphony1.ly

AFAIK he simplest way to achieve this would be an automatic
command-line option passed to gs... Or a simple cat command to
concatenate the PS files before the pdf conversion (IIRC there's a
copy /con option that does the trick on Windows too). However, I have
no idea how to interface it with LilyPond.

Results:
-- a .ly with several scores: no visible effect.
-- a .ly with one score only of 6 systems: the first system is as usual (=
OK), everything else is put in a second system on the same page, at the
usual location of the second system. All items in this second system are
very near each other.
I tried 2 or 3 page formats, same effects, plus the second system can
end after the paper right edge. After removing everything else in the \paper
section: still same effects.

LilyPond Search plugin for Firefox and IE7

[Valentin Villenave]

Hi everybody,

this is an idea I've had a couple of weeks ago: this little plugin
allows you to search for keywords in the LSR (and hopefully some day
in the Documentation as well).

http://mycroft.mozdev.org/download.html?name=lilypond

Just click on the link, and enjoy :)

The nice thing about such plugins is the ability to update them
automatically; so if new features are added in the future, it will be
quite easy to benefit from these.

Cheers,

This seems to be based on the Sherlock standard, which

on the OpenSearch standard to work with both IE and 
Firefox.  As I use IE I can't try it, but it sounds good...

Turn

[Renato]

Hi all
I am trying to copy  the famous Nocturne N. 2 Op. 9 by Chopin, but am
getting crazy to make this figure:
http://xrl.us/beqd4
3d bar: the turn upon the c8 note.
I've been trying all possible configurations of code like this:

 \once \override TextScript #'script-priority = #-100
c8^\turn^\markup { \flat }^\markup { \flat }^\markup { \natural
}^\markup{\finger"12121"}

or

\once \override Script #'script-priority = #-100
c8^\turn^\markup { \flat }^\markup { \flat }^\markup { \natural
}^\markup{\finger"12121"}

Changing the order of various components didnt help, the turn goes either on
top or on bottom, but nevere between flat and natural signs, I've also tried
crating a double voice with a s8 and dividing signs: it didnt work

I am using this now:
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -1.5 . -3.2 )
c8^\turn^\markup{\finger"12121"}
(The override is needed because fingering is not centered)

 this is a regular turn without flat and natural signs, but the one in
Chopin's piece requires that the note before a turn is a b, and not a bflat
as it would be the case on a normal turn, I guess this is called a
"chromatic turn" but I am not sure.

If there is a different more modern way to draw a "chromatic turn", it's OK,
I dont want to create an exact replica of the original source, I just want
to create a good modern version.

Moreover: is there a way to draw a little slur on the fingering (12121) like
in the original?

Hello, I also use Notepad++, just use the TeX language definition. To

Re: Turn

[Mats Bengtsson]

The trick is to include them all in one and the same \markup command,
using \column or \center to stack them on top of each other. Also, you
will have to use the \music-glyph markup command to access the turn.
See section "Overview of text markup commands" for the details.

Right, I say change the terms in our docs.

Sidenote: Graham had suggested (maybe jokingly?) to check the wikipedia
history under "Accidentals" to find out how the term got into their docs
(which is how I suspect it crept into ours). I clicked over yesterday, found
more than 500 revisions, briefly considred doing a binary search by hand,
and then decided that I didn't have the time to bypass a missing search
interface by hand (or that I didn't understand the wiki searching process
correctly.)

The correct terms in English are:

cff c double flat
ctqf   c three-quarters flat
cf  c flat
cqfc quarter-flag
c
cqs   c quarter-sharp
cs c sharp
ctqs  c three-quarters sharp
css   c double sharp


(If anyone can ever trace the terms "half-flat" and "flat-and-a-half" to
some other language or system of usage, I'd love to hear about for the
trivia file.)

Perhaps the quarter/half thing is a confusion of terms?

If you look at flats and sharps as semi- or half-tones then a half of one of 
those could be reasonably termed quarter-tones.

I've not seen a "quarter flat" but I have seen the term "quarter tone"

Oh yes, you're absolutely right! The Sherlock standard was not
explicitely marked as deprecated when I wrote it.

Anyway, I have updated it now, so you should be able to test it soon :)

Hey, I singled out a different country first.  Now granted, I
*do* always assume that because something is weird, it must be
European...

> Right, I say change the terms in our docs.

Changed in Accidentals.  If there's anything that needs changing
in "note names in other languages", please post specific
instructions.

Mostly jokingly.  I spent 60 seconds looking through the history
before suggesting it here, but decided that I wasn't /that/
curious.

> (which is how I suspect it crept into ours).

Actually, I doubt that.  I can't see Han-Wen looking up musical
terms in wikipedia... especially four or five years ago when the
original docs were written.

Adding blank lines to texinfo doesn't do anything.  We _could_ add
a @sp 1, but that would look weird in the HTML.

The solutions that I can see are:
- send a request to texinfo for them to add a @subsubsubheading
  command, then edit macro.itely to use those commands.
- edit macro.itely to remove @subsubheading from our @seealso (and
  the like) macros, and instead use some other text formatting to
  display those headings.

Cheers,

changing music font

[Tim Reeves]

I know how to change the text font, but is it possible to change the music 
font from Feta to something else (for example, a font that Sibelius uses 
that I have on my computer)?
If so, how?

Thanks,

Re: Altering font

[Thies Albrecht]

Hi Wilbert, hi everybody!

First of all thanks for the quick answer.

Wilbert Berendsen schrieb:
From what I understand the *pfa files are generated files, and depending on 
desired font size, a symbol is taken from one *pfa or another.


If I'm correct, to alter a symbol the best way is to alter the *.mf files in 
mf/ (mf=metafont).
Which are the font related files, that are used, when a source is 
converted to pdf via lilypond foo.ly? Is it *.mf, *.pfa or even 
something else?

That's a FAQ, please search the archive or the docs.

Short answer: It's not possible, there are no other fonts that are  
compatible with LilyPond.

Danke sehr.

Did you mean that the answer is given at

It's not. Maybe it should be there.

I probably have seen this question asked and answered in the past, but my 
brain didn't store it.

Hi Martin,

#'merge-differently-headed is the command you seek:


%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.34"

\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

\context Staff <<
   \clef "treble_8"
   \context Voice = "first" {
  \voiceOne
  c8 [ e8 ] g8 [ c'8 ]
   }
   \context Voice = "second" {
  \voiceTwo
  \override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
  c2
   }
>>

%%% END %%%




Please see 1.5.2.1 Collision resolution for this and other goodies such as
#'merge-differently-dotted, which you'll probably also want.

Simple.  Use polyphony, and put the minim in one voice and the quaver in 
another, and set merge-differently-headed = ##t.

Line breaking within ligature brackets

[Greg Swinford]

Hi all! This is my first post and I'd just like to say thanks to the
developers for such a brilliant program.

I'm transcribing some mensural music into modern notation and trying to use
ligature brackets to indicate the position of ligatures in the original. I'm
having to use horizontal (analysis) brackets at the moment, however, as a
large section of the music has at least one ligature over every barline.
This is preventing any line breaking during this section and so the
horizontal spacing is very squashed and the system spills over into the
margin.

Is it possible to allow line breaking during ligatures (or at least ligature
brackets) as it is with horizontal (analysis) brackets?

Many thanks,
Greg.

Open brackets for colouration

[Greg Swinford]

I was wondering whether it was somehow possible to get open brackets (i.e.
just a right angle at the start and end of the bracket with no line in
between, like this: ┌  ┐) for notating colouration in mensural music. I've
been playing around with the dashed line settings for horizontal (analysis)
brackets but can't seem to find a way to make it look quite right. Currently
I'm having to use text markups containing the right-angle symbols above the
notes but it's not ideal.

Many thanks,
Greg.
