Hi Wing,

I'm not sure what you mean by using Lilypond under some application.  Do 
you mean you're using a graphical front end to Lilypond?  If so, then I 
don't know what to do.  If you're using Lilypond by itself, then proceed 
with following advice...


The first thing I would try is getting the newest version of Lilypond, 
which is 2.12.2-1.  This is a stable release.


http://lilypond.org/web/install/

I suspect that you got 2.10.33 from the Suse repository, and at the time 
it was probably the latest stable Lilypond.  2.12 is much better and 
it's worth installing for that reason (and for the much better 
documentation), but it might also fix this dependency problem.  If you 
installed Lilypond using the Suse package manager, be sure to remove it 
the same way before installing the new version.  To install the new 
version, download the installer script from the Lilypond site to your 
desktop, then use the command line:


cd ~/Desktop
sudo sh ./lil[tab]

(tab-complete the script's filename to be sure it's accurate)

Press enter, then type your password and it'll install.

HTH,

Greetings everybody,


Hi Valentin

Wow!  This is a major work!  It must be the largest LilyPond score
ever!  I compiled the full score last night to peruse, and it looks
awesome.   The pdf file is 6.65 Mb!

I haven't yet been able to look at it musically, but I thought I'd let you
know that it can be downloaded easily from your git site (although
you need to be git-aware to do this), and compiled under Vista.

I had to change only the \includes in main.ly from 


\include "./foo/bar.ly"   to  \include "foo/bar.ly"

but otherwise it worked first time out of the box.  There are a few
warnings, mainly about beam slopes and between-system-padding,
nothing serious.

It took quite a time to compile on my 2Gb laptop, partly because I
inadvertently started two compiles of the full score simultaneously 
(I now realise!), which caused quite a bit of paging, as you might

imagine.  It should compile much faster on a 4Gb machine, or one
at a time!


the past couple of weeks has been exhausting and has almost been
preventing me from following our mailing lists, but at least it's done
now. As John said, there are still two performances on tommorrow and
Thursday evening, but at least my work is done.


I'm not surprised!  I can't imagine even transcribing a work of this
magnitude, let alone composing it!


I think it has been quite a success indeed. It's funny and
straightforward, and both the audience and the perfomers seem to find
it amusing.


I can't wait to examine it more closely now I have the score.


We had a pretty decent media coverage, and not one single interview
has been published without mentioning LilyPond and the special terms
of the opera's license. As soon as I have more time (any day now),
I'll tell you more about that (this very evening, I'm even advertising
LilyPond on TV!).

One other thing worth mentioning is that this project has allowed me
to demonstrate LilyPond power and beauty. Some musicians have asked me
to reprint their parts with a different layout, bigger staves, thicker
barlines, more time to turn their pages, etc; all of which I've been
able to do impressively quickly and perfectly; not to mention more
complicated stuff such as clean transpositions, clefs fine-tuning etc.
Several musicians have made nice compliments about the quality of
their printed parts.


Absolutely!  It looks beautiful!


As this opera is adapted from a comic book, I have included some
graphics into the score, and it has been quite pleasant to see the
musicians smile while playing, and to hear the conductor say "let's
start back from... hem.. well, from the little drawing that looks like
a castle".


I'm looking forward to discovering what the watering can means :)


The license I have chosen wraps together the GPL for the source code
(this way you may use any function, macro, PostScript or even chunks
of music), and a CC by-nc-sa for the "narrative work" (characters,
story, etc.), which has allowed us to "sell" our stuff to the opera
house. Since this license is copyleft, it will also cover any
derivative work such as the video recording that has been made, which
I plan to offer on the Internet, with convenient subtitles.  This also
means that the recorded music may be remixed, and redistributed in a
non-commercial approach. (We'll wait for several months, and then see
if we can remove the -nc- term from the license.)

In the meantime, you can have a look at
http://valentin.villenave.info/opera/download.html (in French)
and at the source code:
http://repo.or.cz/w/opera_libre.git

As for the title, I think that would be "The Foreign Affair"...; by
the way, I'm looking for a skilled translator to translate the
subtitles. (and/or translate the libretto into English or other
languages.) 


An opera promoter friend of mine is quite keen on comic opera.
I intend to show him this.  If you ever hear of a translation into 
English let me know.  I'm afraid I don't have any language skills,

though.


Whether you want to read it, translate it, reproduce it,
rewrite it accordingly to your tastes or needs, be my guest: this work
is meant for everyone, and I'd be really happy if it could have a life
of its own after my work is done.


Many, many thanks for all your work on this, and for LilyPond.


Cheers,
Valentin

Oh, thanks for testing. Alternatively, the PDF can be downloaded at my
homepage (I'll make an English version too).

Well, this is Windows. The reason why I have "./" is just in case I
might need to rearrange the subdirectories, and do a find-and-replace
in the paths.

Yes. It used to compile without a *single* warning, but since I had to
make a few modifications in a rush, I guess this isn't true anymore...

Yes. RAM is the key, indeed.

Trust me, the LilyPonding was the fun part :-)

I'm looking forward to have a multi-language version. The source code
is well localized, and there are only a couple of files to translate
(possibly with some modifications in the vocal parts, that could be
easily achieved using tags).

> I'm looking forward to discovering what the watering can means :)

This is because there's a character whom everyone think of as the
castle's gardener, until we discover it's actually God :-)

Hopefully, the subtitles will be easy enough to translate (even
roughly); this could then lead to an English version of the score
itself.

> Many, many thanks for all your work on this, and for LilyPond.

Well, I'm not sure I deserve that... Unlike most of you guys, I had a
personal, selfish reason to be working on LilyPond :-)

Follow Jonathan's advice and you can't go wrong.

I too am unsure of your meaning -- while you don't need to compile 
lilypond yourself, the error you report regarding libstdc++ is typical 
of missing header files, needed while compiling applications from source 
code.  This particular error could be solved by installing 
lidstdc++-devel from openSUSE's repository.  But again, it's not 
necessary to do that if you install lilypond via the above method.

Actually, I already have something in mind for the LilyPond community

it's still a top-secret kind of thing (I'll have much more time for

Definitely not! I have to say that this project wouldn't have even
existed without LilyPond. I have learned LilyPond exclusively in order
to publish this score, I have paid, developed or suggested quite a
bunch of features I needed, etc. Finally, this wonderful community has
convinced me there's a bright future (if any) for Free music, Free
scores and Free software.

By golly!  Invisible and inaudible grace notes!  Works great!  Could

Great!  We can start integrating some of those into lilypond

Glad to hear that the performance was a success, and glad to hear

If they do, they should like this project (wait for the video, it's
really funny). The instrumental parts are tough, and would probably
require at least a couple months of serious work. As for the singers,
I've been trying hard to keep it fun to sing. The King is undoubtedly
the most demanding role, and your director should be careful with the
casting.

And of course, there's always the possibility of playing the whole
thing with piano accompaniment, or with a special arrangement.

I wanted a rest (for silence). 
If you say just "r32", lilypond gives you silence OK, 
but also does the vertical positioning automatically, 
so you can't adjust the slur any more. 


\rest lets you do the vertical positioning yourself:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Writing-rests#Rests
And \grace just squashes everything up; not just notes, but rests too. 

Omitting those spaces isn't primarily a shortcut, 
more an idiom for a common readability style. 
Most of the snippets are done like that.

The impressive part is not the absolute size of the PDF file — as you

As a comparison, the full score of my multidisciplinary work "Just

Definitely not! I have to say that this project wouldn't have even

to publish this score, I have paid, developed or suggested quite a

convinced me there's a bright future (if any) for Free music, Free
scores and Free software.

Cheers,

Now that I've compiled your score I understand why you implemented the 
"showFirstLength" feature.  Wow.  I mean, I was pretty stoked to get it 
for working on my 4-minute orchestral score but it would be 
indispensable on a score as big as yours.  Well done!

longfermata over measure rest?

2009-02-04 Thread Tom Hall

Hello List

\fermataMarkup does the trick for a regular fermata over a measure rest, is
there something like \longfermataMarkup ? Any other way to do this ?

Regards

Tom

function to fit music within a given range?

2009-02-04 Thread CJ Bell
Is there an existing function/snipped that will adjust the octave of
music to within a given range of notes? For example, I have a melody
played by many instruments in a score, but some instruments can't
reach the higher notes, so those notes must be shifted to a lower
octave; I'd like to avoid copying & rewriting that part (and
quoteDuring has become just as messy).


thanks!

My solution to rhythmic slashes and midi playback

2009-02-04 Thread Brian
Wanted to make a post after finding a good way to tackle rhythmic slashes in
song without having the midi catch it on the playback:

---


slashon = { \override Staff.Rest #'style = #'slash
\override Staff.Rest #'glyph-name = "2slash"
\override Staff.Rest #'stencil = #ly:note-head::print }

slashoff = { \revert Staff.Rest #'style
\revert Staff.Rest #'glyph-name
\revert Staff.Rest #'stencil }

slashheadon = { \override NoteHead  #'style = #'slash
\set Staff.midiMaximumVolume = #0 }

slashheadoff = { \revert NoteHead #'style 
\set Staff.midiMaximumVolume = #5 }

dynamicson = { \override Score.DynamicText #'transparent = ##f }
dynamicsoff = { \override Score.DynamicText #'transparent = ##t }

-

I use the slashon\off for pure quarter rest slashes that won't jump around when
transposing. This is for your basic improv section in a jazz chart. I got this
one from
http://www.nabble.com/Rhythmic-slashes,-are-just-too-...@-$--hard-to-do-td8949934.html
. But for the times when I like to notate specific rhythms with rhythmic slash
NOTEHEADS while still not having the midi catch it, I'll use the slashheadon/off
just before the slashes start. You kick in the midivolume=0 by using a dynamic
of any type. So the section will look like this:

{ c8 c c c c c c c
\slashon r4 r4 r4 r4 \slashoff
  \slashheadon \dynamicsoff r4\f r b8 b b4
  \slashheadoff c8\f \dynamicson c c c c c c c
}

Hope this helps somebody, I've been trying to get a system going for my slashes
and finally found something that works!

-Brian

What does this warning mean?

2009-02-04 Thread Chip

Here's a snippet of the error -

---
Processing `F:/Lilypond Files/test.ly'
Parsing...
*programming error: file name not normalized: RasJammie\SaxHooked.ly*
continuing, cross fingers
programming error: file name not normalized: RasJammie\SaxDaddy.ly

Whatever it means, the output works as expected. Just curious about the 
warning.

Possible in Ubuntu?

2009-02-04 Thread den trompetter
Hello,

yesterday I installed Lilypond in Ubuntu. But I don't see it in the
program's list. How can I work with it? I'm not sure.

Hi Chip

LilyPond prefers forward slashes in its filenames,
irrespective of what the local operating system
standard is.
