You might want to have a look at this ABC search engine:

mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle

[Stan Sanderson]

In the interest of improving a great tool, I ask...

I'm sure I'm not the only one using jEdit with LilyPondTool on Mac OS  
10 (10.4.11, PPC). I've had a dialogue with Bertalan Fodor (author of  
LilyPondTool) concerning its use on the Mac OS. He doesn't have  
access to a Mac and consequently finds answering my question difficult.


So, is there anyone using the Mac version of LilyPondTool who has  
found a way of successfully invoking convert-ly?


The problem appears to be related to differences in how the Mac and  
Windows versions use Python. From what Bertalan has suggested,  
LilyPondTool translates "convert-ly" to "/ 
convert-ly.py --edit ".


From the jEdit Activity Log...

9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: '/Users/ssanders/Desktop/test1.ly'
9:36:26 AM [notice] AWT-EventQueue-0: command: convert-ly  
[Ljava.lang.String;@98ba6f
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0: java.io.IOException: / 
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin//python: not found
9:36:26 AM [error] AWT-EventQueue-0:  at  
java.lang.UNIXProcess.forkAndExec(Native Method)


The same results are observed if the .py suuffix is included on the  
convert-ly command.


I can invoke "lilypond --version" successfully from the jEdit Console  
so the path to Lilypond appears to be correct. Invoking "convert-ly -- 
version" (or convert-ly.py" produces an error message.


I have not found a way to communicate with the contents of / 
Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ (other than  
lilypond itself) when using LilyPondTool.


Any solutions?

These kind of errors annoy me to death since I'm using a Mac.
Lily, LaTeX, several compilers; everything complains about the
typographic whitespace characters which are simple to type in on a Mac.
Haven't figured out all the keystrokes, but as far as I know, you can
type non-breaking spaces, en and em-spaces, and may be others (line
breaks?) with great ease. Of course, all of them are specified in UTF
and, thus, wrote as such into plain text files, and you can't
distinguish them in most editors, especially using a monospace font.

I don't see hope for LaTeX fixing this in the short term; but since at
least Lilypond is made to deal with Unicode, it would be nice if those
characters could be handled by the parser as what they are - whitespaces.

For the meantime - anybody knows how to convince Smultron to mark those
characters? Or, even better - is there a program which temporarily shuts
off typographic character shortcuts for the whole system?

rhythmicStaff in instrumental score How?

[Jay Hamilton]

I looked through lsr for scores with staves of one line didn't find one.
My score 
oboe
clarinet
marimba
woodblock (single line staff)
cymbals (ditto)
cello
Contrabass

But I'm stumped as how to make the code for the single lines- I wasn't going to 
group the staves as it's a small ensemble but even so not sure what to write at 
the beginning of each single line staff.

thanks

Fwd: Re: Adding notes above drumstaff

[Tao Cumplido]

Hi,

I solved this for me to define my own drumcontext.
There's a part in the docs where it is described but it didn't work for me to 
define a new drumcontext directly in my ly-file, so I looked into the file 
drumpitch-init.ly (which is part of the LilyPond installation) to see how 
drumcontexts are defined there.
Then I copied the whole file, added my own drumcontext and include in my 
ly-file.
If you have created your own style-table you can create a DrumStaff with it 
like this:

\new DrumStaff \with { drumStyleTable = #your-style }

Repeating title

[Alberto Simões]

Hi, folks.

I have a four-hands piece and I would like to repeat titles (and create 
a new page). At the moment I have two '\score' command. It is rendering 
correctly a title, at the beginning, but I would like to force a new 
line before the second score.


How can I do that?

Or, in the order hand, what is the usual behavior for a four-hand piece?

Thank you ;)

What's the problem with LaTeX?  You simply say

  \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

and most of those typographic spaces are automatically mapped to the
right LaTeX entities.  Otherwise, simply use \DeclareUnicodeCharacter
and define something for it.

Re: mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle

Re: Help getting started with Danny Boy

[plasmacarwash]

Dear James,

Actually I was wondering, once we set the time signature and choose which
value our notes will be (half, quart, eighth) -does the program
automatically create the desired bars?
The appropriate measures?
I assume it does after that input.


Also I need help fetching a "vertical squiggly line" and an "upside-down
fermatta" within  http://home.earthlink.net/~markdlew/shw/DannyBoy.htm Mark
Lews adapt.  :confused:


Lastly,

I was perusing the template(s) for piano and voice.
I wonder how that looks when done? 
Do I just load up all the lyrics I have already within the "voice" section?

I expect that section to be pretty disproportionate compared to the
remaining few sections left in the template provided.

Also, Kieren MacMillans help has held its own, so, I'm ok with the
'horizontal spacing" issue from yesteryear.

Thank-you James.

It seems to work with .11 & .10. In fact, the results look better this
way than with \concat. The space between the left parenthesis and the

could be a small \hspace between the parenthesis and the note. I
wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't sent this version. :-)


I've been too busy to keep up with the lists.  My solution is  
slightly the reverse of this one which is to create simple tempo  
commands to add to any markup used like this (with parentheses):


\markup{ Allegro \mm #"4" #"120" }

or (without parentheses):

\markup( Allegro con moto \MM #"2" #"132" }

It seems to work with .11 & .10. In fact, the results look better

way than with \concat. The space between the left parenthesis and the
note head is better matched with the space between the number and the
right parenthesis. If I may pick a nit a bit - with \concat there
could be a small \hspace between the parenthesis and the note. I
wouldn't have noticed it if you hadn't sent this version. :-)


I've been too busy to keep up with the lists.  My solution is  
slightly the reverse of this one which is to create simple tempo  
commands to add to any markup used like this (with parentheses):


\markup{ Allegro \mm #"4" #"120" }

or (without parentheses):

\markup( Allegro con moto \MM #"2" #"132" }


Looking at the definition of "movement" in the LSR I see that the  
tempo must be a number.  If it is a string then one can use  
variations like "ca. 120" to indicate approximate tempos, etc.

Re: mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle

[Jonathan Kulp]

I haven't tried to update any files from Jedit on my Mac.  I have run 
the "update syntax" command from the "Compile" menu that appears when 
you open Lilypond as an application.  Does that accomplish the same 
thing as convert-ly?  I do all of my lilypond editing on Linux so I 
haven't tried much besides opening and compiling files on the Mac. 
After getting this message I tried running the "convert-ly" command on a 
file from a Mac terminal and it failed saying unknown command or 
something.  The editor window that opens by default when you run 
Lilypond on a mac is pretty bad, though, so I can see why you'd want to 
use Jedit instead.  My own solution would be to update the syntax in 
lilypond, save the file, and then do further editing in Jedit.

Have you read the tutorial?

Re: mac os x, lilypondtool, jedit, a puzzle

[James E. Bailey]

update syntax is the same as convert-ly on macintosh. Is the solution  
to just not use jedit? Again, I use TeXShop for lilypond, so I don't  
know much about jedit, but I can sure give it a try later today.

Kinda. Assuming all of your bars are compete, then you'll have no  
problems. What makes lilypond good is that it does all of the layout,  
you just tell it what you want. If, however, you have \time 4/4 d'4  
d'4 e'2. | or \time 4/4 d'4 d'2 | Lilypond will have problems, and the  
more I think about it it, the more I like that.

That's a common musical symbol for harpists and keyboard players,  
arpeggio. you get that by adding \arpeggio to a chord. See section  
1.3.3.2 of the 2.11 documentation.






Lastly,

I was perusing the template(s) for piano and voice.
I wonder how that looks when done?
Do I just load up all the lyrics I have already within the "voice"  
section?


There are several ways of adding lyrics. for a simple song like this,  
probably the easiest way would be to first make sure the vocal part  
has all of the ties, "~" and slurs, "( )" needed to make sure all of  
the syllables that are sung over more than one written note are  
grouped together. e.g., cal -- ling in mm. 7 needs to be fis'8( e'8)  
cis'4~ cis'8. so that you can use the simple \addlyrics function  
directly after your music in your lilypond file. For example \score  
{ {fis'8( e'8) cis'4~ cis'8 e'8 gis'8 a'8} \addlyrics {cal -- ling  
from glen to} } would give you mm. 7





I expect that section to be pretty disproportionate compared to the
remaining few sections left in the template provided.

Also, Kieren MacMillans help has held its own, so, I'm ok with the
'horizontal spacing" issue from yesteryear.

Thank-you James.

-Jay Peek



I would also suggest using the 2.11 documentation if you aren't  
already, it's a bit easier to read, certainly more thorough, and makes  
using lilypond a lot clearer.

Hey Forum,

I am transcribing Danny Boy from this mans arrang.
http://www.home.earthlink.net/~markdlew/shw/DannyBoy.htm (Mark D.
Lew)  .

(3 pages short)

It is from key 'D' to 'C' that I desire.

I need only help on the vocal.

I already have the notes and lyrics typed and coordinated one above
the
other.

I also need help with a WIN 98 indiosyncracy with 2.11.45 ( and all
previous
versions, btw).

Horizontal spacing.

I was helped here and got some good fixes ( like "ragged") but I
just wanted
to give you a heads up before we work with your particular style  
code.


Is there anybody out there tonite?

much love,

Jay
