Drum parts and horizontal beams
Hi everybody.
I'm trying to write a drum part, but I'm not able to obtain perfectly
orizontal beams.
For example when I write two eight notes, one of snare drum (corresponding
to a c') and the other of bass drum (e), their connection beam is oblique. I
would like to obtain the snare drum stem longer, in a way to connect it with
the bass drum note with an horizontal beam.
I have read this option at page 201 of the lilypond manual: \override Stem
#length = #12, but it doesen't work, I don't know why.
Here you are my code:
#(set-global-staff-size 20)
#(set-default-paper-size "a4")
% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My Set
#(define canetadrums '(
(bassdrum default #f -4)
(snare default #f1)
(hihat cross #f5)
(openhihat cross #f5)
(halfopenhihat xcircle #f5)
(closedhihatcross #f5)
(crashcymbalcross #f7)
(pedalhihat cross #f -6)
(lowtom default #f -1)))
% - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - End of My Set
\new DrumStaff {
\set DrumStaff.drumStyleTable = #(alist->hash-table canetadrums)
\tempo 4. = 57
\time 12/8
\drummode {
r1 r8 \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 [ \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 r8
\set stemLeftBeamCount = #1
\acciaccatura sn8 sn16 \acciaccatura sn8 sn16 ]
<<
\new DrumVoice {
\stemUp cymc8 \repeat unfold 10 hhho cymc
}
\new DrumVoice {
\stemDown bd8. bd8 bd16 sn8 [r bd] bd [bd16 bd r bd] sn8 bd sn
}
>>
}
}
Can anyone help me?

You must set the beam-damping to +inf.0 \override Beam #'damping = #+inf.0 I found this by doing the following: 1. I went to the notation reference. 2. I went to the LilyPond index. 3. I looked up beam (which sent me to Automaic Beams). 4. At this point, there was no snippet which showed how to make a beam perfectly horizontal (I remembered seeing something about it in reading the docs earlier), so I went to the link to the Internals Reference for Beam. 5. I read through the doc-strings. concaveness refers to "damping the slope of the beam", and there is a parameter called "damping" that adjustst the "Amount of beam slope damping", but neither of these meant anything to me at that time. 5. I looked at the beam-interface link at the bottom of the Beam page. This gave me a list of all user-settable beam properties. This time I noticed damping, and decided that that might be the property I needed. 6. I downloaded the Notation Reference as one big page, and searched for damping. The very first hit was a snippet for horizontal beams (in the section on Tablature, which was why I remembered it, because I do more guitar than drum music). You could also go to the LilyPond Snippet Repository and search for beam: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=beam&s=0&m=10 You would then find the tablature snippet that showed how to make beams perfectly horizontal. I'm not mentioning all this because I think you didn't spend enough time trying to find it; I'm mentioning this to help you know how I find information so you don't have to wait on the list.

One of the great things about participating in LilyPond is the genuine interest in having lots of contributors. Anybody can propose contributions, and they'll likely get implemented in some form. Particularly in the documentation, if you find something that needs improving, run it by the list (you may want to run it by lilypond-devel), and you'll likely get the response of "Go ahead -- we'd love to have it".

You may wish to refer to my question and the responses regarding transparent backgrounds several weeks ago. I also use Lilypond for overhead projectors and typically display black type over a textured background in Powerpoint with good results. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
should \voiceOneStyle override all possible attributes of a note or voice?
i just saw that voiceXXXStyle only defines colors of NoteHead/Beam/Stem - deliberatly? these styles can be a great help when you are splitting notes into voices or if you add dynamics and other articulations to the score - and you don't remember to which voice you had added it... IMO dots, accidentals, dynamics and maybe even markups should be colored, too! -Eluze -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/should-%5CvoiceOneStyle-override-all-possible-attributes-of-a-note-or-voice--tp20093618p20093618.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: should \voiceOneStyle override all possible attributes of a note or voice?
I've found that when using evince to view pdf output, moving the cursor over score elements displays the line in the .ly file that the elements spring from. This is a convenient way to find the code that corresponds to the output (using Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy)).

Quoting Eluze <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: i just saw that voiceXXXStyle only defines colors of NoteHead/Beam/Stem - deliberatly? Please note that these styles primarily have been defined in order to make some examples in the documentation more pedagogical. However, if you find them useful for other purposes that's fine. You can easily define your own version of these macros, by copying the predefined ones from the file property-init.ly in the installation, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Other-sources-of-information these styles can be a great help when you are splitting notes into voices or if you add dynamics and other articulations to the score - and you don't remember to which voice you had added it... Read about point-and-click in the manual for another solution to the same problem. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I have a piece I'm engraving where because of the shape of the arpeggios (the whole piece is arpeggios), Lilypond engraves every beam as horizontal, but I actually think it would look better if every beam was slightly sloped.

I'd like every beam to have the same slope as the 1st without having to add a beam position override for every bar.
