setting max-stretch to a high value still leaves some space at the bottom
Can someone please explain to me how lilypond's vertical page layout works? In particular, I'm writing a full score with one system per page, so I want that one system to exactly stretch to the full page. I'm doing this by setting max-stretch to some very high value. Unfortunately, there is always some space at the bottom left free on all pages except for the first one. On page 1, the system goes all the way to the margins, but leave some space between the title and the system, on all other pages, there is some space of 9.46 left over. Attached is an example with annotated spacing. Notice how on page 1 there is no space left at the bottom, while on all other pages there is some free space at the botom and the system ends far above the position where it ends on page 1... On all pages with more than one system, there is no space left at the bottom, which makes pages with one and with more systems look really ugly if that happens on subsequent pages. So, how can I make my systems really take up all the available space on the page? Cheers, Reinhold PS: PDF is too large for the mailing list, so here's the link: http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/~reinhold/temp/stretching1.pdf PS2: The additional free space of 9.46 at the bottom of pages with only one system exactly equals the sum of all "space after next-padding" on pages with multiple pages, so maybe that space is simply reserved for spacing systems, but someone missed the fact that on one-system pages that space should not be reserved as space... -- -- Reinhold Kainhofer, Vienna University of Technology, Austria email: [EMAIL PROTECTED], http://reinhold.kainhofer.com/ * Financial and Actuarial Mathematics, TU Wien, http://www.fam.tuwien.ac.at/ * K Desktop Environment, http://www.kde.org, KOrganizer maintainer * Chorvereinigung "Jung-Wien", http://www.jung-wien.at/ \version "2.11.48" #(set-default-paper-size "a5") #(set-global-staff-size 15) \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } \context { \Score \override VerticalAlignment #'max-stretch = #10 } } \header { title = "Der Titel" composer = "Komponist" subtitel = "Untertitel" } \paper { % page-limit-inter-system-space = ##t % page-limit-inter-system-space-factor = #1.1 ragged-bottom=##f ragged-last-bottom=##f annotate-spacing = ##t } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \repeat unfold 6 { g'4 g' g' g' \pageBreak} } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 6 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*2 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*2 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*2 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 2 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*4 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 2 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*4 } >> \header { piece = "One system per page => 9.46 left at the bottom" } } \score { \new StaffGroup << \new Staff { \repeat unfold 16 { g'4 g' g' g' \break} } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 16 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 14 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*2 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 14 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*2 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*12 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 2 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*14 } \new Staff { \repeat unfold 2 { g'4 g' g' g' \break } s1*14 } >> \header { piece = "Multiple systems per page => no space left at the bottom" } } ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Wish to specify staff length and note "justification"
I suggest you to include small chunks of staff with the desired notes into columns of your ooo table, that way always will be aligned, despite of whatever you want to put in the table. Or, the staff has to be continuous? 2008/6/8 Adam Orris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hello, > > I want to align Lilypond notes to tabbed columns of text in OpenOffice, -- Francisco Vila.

Question about inserting a bracket: snippet "Bracketed passages"
Hi a user on the German Lilypond-Forum would like to insert several brackets one after the other in his score, as indicated with the snippet "bracketed passages". But the use of the \breathe obviously prevents to be put more than one time without anything in between. Does anybody have a quick idea how to improve the snippet to allow multiple bracketed passages?

Hi Bernie, i'm happy to find a way to "globalize" rehearsal marks, double bar lines, etc. can anyone help me figure out why my /global block is creating a new staff below my instrument staves each time? Your code adds the \global in its own (implicit) Staff: \new StaffGroup = "horns" << \global \new ChordNames = "trpchords" \transpose c d {\harmony} is the same as \new StaffGroup = "horns" << \new Staff \global \new ChordNames = "trpchords" \transpose c d {\harmony} You need to COMBINE the global stuff with some other staff's music -- see the trumpet staff in the attached (modified) code.

Re: double notes in stemless notation?
If you show how you combine these two lines of music in the same stave, it's easier to provide a relevant answer. /Mats Ivo Bouwmans wrote: Hallo all, I am writing four-part choral music in a stemless notation on two staves. Here's a brief example: notesOne = { \relative { \override Stem #'transparent = ##t gis'2 a4 b e, }} notesTwo = { \relative { \override Stem #'transparent = ##t e2 e4 dis e }} When the voices have the same note - like the final e in the example above -, only one note head is shown (as expected).

Place to write piano dynamics
Hello, everybody! It is my first posting to this list. I am blind programmer from Russia and music takes a very important part in my life. Lilypond is just brilliant software for me. Now I can make my own music publications by myself. Great thanks to everybody, who made it possible! There is one thing I cannot understand . In many examples notes are not written in "\new Staff" block directly, but placed in something like upper = \relative c'' { \clef treble \key c \major \time 4/4 a4 b c d } What is the advantage of such approach? I am asking, because in "Piano centered dynamics" example melody and dynamics are written separately. In long composition it can be difficult to think about a correct place for dynamics. Are there problems to write melody and dynamics together? And why using special blocks for melody in most cases is more convenient? Thanks! -- With best wishes, Michael Pozhidaev.

incorrect beams in 16th quintuplet

different rehearsal mark settings in score and part
Hi, I'm now working on a extreme serious piece, the suite about the earthquake. So I want my score to be very formal. I don't know how the remove empty staff function works. I added rehearsal marks only above piccolo and violin I parts, but I don't know whether the marks will let the parts appear during their silence. If no, the rehearsal marks will disappear from my score. I ever read the score of The Rite Of Sprin in braille. The transcribe's note said that the rehearsal marks are above the top of the score and also the topmost string part. If the marks disappear, how to add marks to other staves? If the \mark command hasn't appear in a part before, will the rehearsal number be correct when writing on them when they become the topmost score and string staves? To make things clear (I can't express this very clearly in English), here's the thing I want: \version 2.11.47" pic = \relative c'' { R1*10 \mark \default | R1*20 %{ should I add a \mark \default even though it will not appear? %} | } fl = \relative c'' { R1*10 | c1 \mark \default %{ can it be [2]? %} | \repeat unfold 19 { c1 } | } cl = { R1*30 | } .. vI = \relative c' { c1 \mark \default | R1*29 | } vII = \relative c' { c1 | R1*29 | } vl = \relative c' { R1*10 | c1 \mark \default | c1 | R1*18 | } .. I also created a "marks" variable containing all rehearsal marks, and will use it for printing parts: marks = { s1*10 \mark \default | s1*20 \mark \default | } Will the marks of this line mess up the irregular marks I wrote for producing full score? And, if I wrote c1 \mark \default | R1*29, will the second mark appear in bar 11 (part version)? Must I split rests into R1*9 | R1*20? In full score, I also don't know when the line breaks, so if I add marks in other lines before break, it will cause visual mistake. Can I use the Dynamic context as in piano score with marks (and therefore not write marks at other places) and then place it before piccolo and violin I? Will it disappear when the below staff is empty? Must I create a alias staff context instead? Sorry for troubling you so much, because I can't check these myself!
