quick fix for using LilyPond with LilyPad

2008-05-01 Thread fiëé visuëlle 

Hello Developers,

I still use LilyPad, and that calls LilyPond via lilycall.py (even if  
that's probably deprecated).

In that file there's the line:

env['LILYPONDPREFIX'] = prefix + '/share/lilypond/current'

That let LilyPond fail with a deprecation warning.
Please just change it to

env['LILYPOND_DATADIR'] = prefix + '/share/lilypond/current'

and all is well.

Thank you!

third down, diatonically

2008-05-01 Thread Stefan Thomas 
Dear Lilypond-users,
I would like to transpose this melody diatonically one third down:
\relative c' {
\clef G
\key a \minor
\time 4/4
\partial 2.

\ e4 a b  | c2.( a4 )|   % 3
c2.( a4 )| g  e b' c   % 5
d e,( d' c) | c( b) b( a) |   % 7
a ( g) f-. g-. | a4*3 }
the transposed melody should  be:
\relative c' {
\clef G
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\partial 2.

g4 c d  | e2.( c4 )|   % 3
e2.( c4 )| g  g d' e  |   % 5
f g,( f' e) | e ( d) d( c) |   % 7
c ( b) a-. b-. | c4*3 }

Is there any way to do this automatically, maybee in other keys than c-major
a-minor?
Thanks,
and have a nice day, it's may 1st!

Remove prefatory staff lines

2008-05-01 Thread Mark Knoop 
Hi all,

I'm trying to remove the empty staff lines that occur when a new staff
is created coinciding with a clef change in another staff - see example.
I've tried various settings of explicitClefVisibility which haven't
worked so far. Any ideas?

As a last resort I'll just whack a white postscript box over it, but I
was hoping there might be a more elegant solution.

\version "2.11.44"
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
{
c'1
<< {
\clef bass c'1
} \new Staff \with { \remove Clef_engraver } {
c''1
} >>
}

Line breaks in text markups

2008-05-01 Thread Ingo 
Hi,
I managed to write notes and lyrics or the first verse for a song. Looks great!

Now, I would like to add the lyrics of further verses below. 
The only command I found for this is "\markup". 
Is there a possibility to add manual line breaks within the markup text? 
If I use two markup commands like this:

\markup\large{Alles, was dich preisen kan, Kerubim und Serafinen,}
\markup\large{stimmen dir ein Loblied an,}

the vertical spacing is too high. This does not work:

\markup\large{
Alles, was dich preisen kan, Kerubim und Serafinen,
\break
stimmen dir ein Loblied an,
}

What would you recommend?

Best, Ingo

Yes; it's

\markup {

Your first line

  {
Your second line
  }
}

However, please have a look at

I found some useful tips and ideas here:



both in the Tips and the Library links, although much of the Lilypond code is 
for quite old versions.

For me, some of the Docs examples were rather too minimal as I didn't have the 
experience to expand and adapt them: complete examples were easier to 
understand and apply to my own case.

No, this is the way, although the example is not correct, it should

  \markup \column {

or:

  \markup \column {

\version "2.11.41"
\markuplines
{
   "words in single file"
   "each line in double quote marks"

Depending on whether you accept page breaks or not between verses,
you should use:

  \markuplines \column-lines {
"First verse"
"Second verse"
"Third verse"
  }

or:

  \markup \column {
"First verse"
"Second verse"
"Third verse"
  }

(the \column-lines command adds some space around the lines, otherwise
they may be unevenly vertically spaced)

Re: Adding notes above drumstaff

2008-05-01 Thread Stan Mulder 
As a drummer I've struggled to find a way to write drum kicks as well. Another
term may be "rhythmic cues". This technique can be seen in almost all the drum
parts of modern stage band music.

Just clarify this further for others, the technique is to have a single line of
small notes above the drum staff (on the G or A line in treble clef) that
indicate rhythms the horn section is playing. It's an optional cue for the
drummer to ad lib something that emphasizes what the horns are playing to give
it a kick.

This document
(http://learningcenter.berklee.edu/downloads/handouts/finaleDrumNotation.pdf)
says the following:

Kicks Over Time
If you want the band to
accent a certain rhythm,
are not concerned with
which specific drums are
played, and want the
groovetocontinue
without going into stop
time, you can add the
rhythm on top of slash
notation.


This page (http://www.jazzuk.demon.co.uk/html/nestico.html) shows the 
following: 
"Cues on the drum part are to let your drummer know what is going on in the
orchestra...he needn't try to "catch" every nuance."

I'm having trouble finding a graphics example online. If I had a piece of stage
band music I could make a scan...

Hi Adam,


To hide the bar lines you need the \bar"" command. Check out this
section of the documentation
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Bar-lines#Bar-lines

I couldn't find a way to print a single bar line at the beginning of
the score though. Maybe someone else could point us in the right
direction.

Re: third down, diatonically

this was a misunderstanding. I didn't want to transpose the example a *minor

StaffSymbol #' staff-space definition produces a SystemStartBar (?)

2008-05-01 Thread Valentin Villenave 
Greetings everyone,

On my way to answer Adam's recent mail, I found something really surprising:

why does

\new Staff \with {
  \override StaffSymbol #' staff-space  = #1.4
} {a b c' d'}

produces a single-staff system with a left barline at its beginning
(which is fine, as it does help to keep track of the Staff lines when
changing the spacing)

whereas

\new Staff \with {
  \override StaffSymbol #' staff-space  = #1.2
} {a b c' d'}

does not? (It produces a standard Staff, without any vertical
delimiter on the left).

What is the exact value that triggers the behavior? Is it documented
anywhere (couldn't find it)?

If it's intended and this threshold is definable, it's definitely a
feature more than a bug.

Cheers,
Valentin

Bearing in mind that this only works under 2.11, shall I add a snippet
for this to input/new?

There's already display-bracket-with-only-one-staff-in-a-system.ly in
the snippets under Staff notation (from LSR; I'll add it to input/new
in any case), which demonstrates both braces and system start
barlines, but perhaps it might be clearer to split the two tweaks.

Moments are used interchangeably for points and durations.  There is a
fine point, though; Moment is really a tuple of rationals, with the
first being the 'main' time, and the 2nd the 'grace' time.
