Beaming in 6/8 or 12/8

[Pikachu]

\time 6/8
c8 r8 c8 c8 r8 c8

I wrote like this, but eighth notes in produced PDF are not beamed.
I want eighth notes to be beamed , but to do this , I have to write like this:

\time 6/8
c8 [r8 c8] c8 [r8 c8]

It is a hassle to type "[" and "]" every measure.
How can I omit them?

Lilypond won't show up in the menu list because it's a command line
application -- you need to create your .ly files in a text editor and
then open up a terminal window and type

  lilypond file.ly

to compile the results into PDF and PostScript output.

Alternatively, if you just want to check that it's installed OK, open up
a terminal and type

  lilypond --version

which will tell you what version of LP you have installed.

A Zip file of everything is 2.5 Mb worth but the .git directory alone

Forcing a natural accidental at the start of a bar/measure

[Padmavyuha]

Hello there

I've just begun using Lilypond (v2.12.2-1) on my mac (and wading  
through the manual!).


The first problem I've encountered is with accidentals. In an SATB 4- 
staff score, I've got the following two bars in a staff (in 4/4, scale  
set to D major):


ef2. ef4
e2 d8 cs b a

but no matter what I do with extraNatural, accidentalStyle etc.  
settings, I can't get the E natural in the 2nd bar to show a natural  
accidental, which it really needs to do.


How can I force this accidental?

Any help appreciated!

Mac OSX Leopard and midi

[Padmavyuha]

Hello there

Using Lilypond v2.12.2-1 on an intel mac running OSX 10.5.6, using  
Smultron with the following command to generate the .ps, .pdf and .mid  
files:


~/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond -o %%d%%p

I gewt the following output every time:

Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `satb.ps'...
Converting to `./satb.pdf'...
warning: cannot find file: `'
error: failed files: ""

...and no midi file - the .ps and .pdf files are generated fine.

Any ideas why I'm not getting midi, and is the error message relevant  
to that, or is it to do with something else entirely?

the auto-beamer will NOT beam over rests. see the first paragraph here:

however, some scheme guru might be able to come up with some funky way  
to create the beaming pattern you're looking for (which is a very  
common pattern in marches and other pieces which have offbeat

You could convert it easily with imagemagick. Do

convert original.png -threshold 30% -type Optimize output.png

Experiment with the threshold percentage.

Hmm... You do have a point. I tend to assume anybody familiar enough

Since git-archive accepts the formats "tar" as well as "zip", it would
seem like a repo server configuration issue (I tried the obvious sf=zip
in the above link, and got an error message about an unrecognized
snapshot format).

Reducing space below title etc.

[Padmavyuha]

I'm putting together an SATB score on 4 staffs with individual lyric  
lines. The first page insists on only allowing 2 systems on the page  
instead of 3, where 3 would fit if there was less of a space between  
the header section and the first system.


I've been searching for a way to reduce that space (or the spacing  
between staffs and/or between systems) in an effort to get the 3  
systems onto the same page with the header, but so far I can't make it  
work. I've tried fiddling around with various variable and font size  
and so on but maybe I'm missing the obvious - do all the different  
header options (subtitle, subsubtitle, meter, arranger etc.,) take up  
space even if they're empty?


Any suggestions?

I'm reasonable familiar with Lilypond at this point, but I had to
google tgz to find out what it is. I'm a Windows person, and tgz seems
to be a Unix format (gzipped tarball). Lilypond seems to have been
developed from a Linux viewpoint, but many of us use it on Windows.

Do you have a \layout{} as well?

Apart from that, I recommend running lilypond from the OSX
terminal as a test.  You mentioned you were running it inside some
other program; perhaps that other program is broken.  Let's see if
lilypond itself works; if it does, then we know the problem is the
other program.

I'll be damned - I put in the \layout {} command to solve another

Re: controlling the alignment of FretBoards

What do you want to do? Since you use FretBoards, your diagrams will be 
vertically aligned,
between themselves. If you want to control the distance to the closest 
stave or lyric line or whatever,

read section "Vertical spacing inside a system" in the notation reference.

the idea is to setup a list of chords and names

looking at the example(s) (\sourcefileline 765 and following) in _notation
reference_ the  finger indications seem to be on the same line and so do the
top fret lines (in the pdf and html version).

when i compile these examples the results look different and unbalanced:

BTW: _if_ this is absolutely necessary every time a file has includes

rehearsal marks.  Is there any real example where this is needed?  In 
every example where I am writing parts I want the first line of every 
system to be present even if all instruments in that score are resting.


This may not ever happen in a full score but it happens for me all the 
time when I "French" parts for a section like clarinets or trumpets.


Is there currently a way to cause the first staff of every system to 
exist even if it is all rests?


TIA,

Paul Scott

\Paper syntax question

[Padmavyuha]

I'm struggling (as usual with new computer languages) with learning  
the syntax of the lilypond language.


I can't seem to find in the manuals or reference a clear explanation  
of how to set the left-margin value in a .ly file. The closest I got  
(or so I thought) was:


\paper { left-margin = 50\mm }

which is what the reference doc says, but it doesn't have any effect  
on the margin. There seem to be many different ways to trigger any  
particular variable, dependant on where you're putting it in the  
hierarchy, and I can't figure out how this one is supposed to work.


Help greatly appreciated...

The left-margin adjustment works, but in the example you give it's a 
rather small increment.  Try changing it to something like 3\cm and 
you'll see a big difference.  If you're trying to make it go closer to 
the edge of the page, then you could add a horizontal-shift element to 
your paper block and adjust the value to your preference, like so:


\paper {
  horizontal-shift = -20
}


You can make it go right off the page with this if you want it to.  :)

HTH,

Thanks, Jon, but what I'm trying to do is set the left margin further  
to the right, but keep the right margin where it is - so there's space  
on the left for binding. As far as I can make out from experimenting,  
left-margin = 2\cm does exactly the same thing as horizontal-shift =  
20. The reference doc says that right-margin doesn't do anything yet,  
so I guess I'll have to play with line-width and paper-width as well  
as left-margin in order to achieve my goal.

Right.  In my orchestral score I had to adjust the horizontal shift and 
line width to accommodate the instrument names, which were running off 
the left side of the page without the adjustments.  I think if you play 
around with line-width you'll find what you need.

Yup, got it sussed now:

\paper { left-margin = 3\cm line-width = 17\cm }

where left-margin + line-width = paper-width - desired-right-margin  
(luckily for my tired brain, A4 has plain 21 cm as width) - so the  
above gives me a 3 cm LM and a 1 cm RM. I presume that when right- 
margin gets fully implemented, it'll just do that calculation for us :)


Thanks for your patience.

Bug with missing 16th lines

[Maarten Deen]

I'm posting this bug here because the bug posting to 
gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs is broken (it says that I'm top-posting with the 
message below and will not post it).



If you render the following snippet to PDF, the 16th lines connecting the fis16
to the e16 are not rendered, making the fis16 look like a f4.
I've tested this in lilypond 2.10 and the latest 2.12.2-1, on Windows XP.
I have my rendering attached.

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##t
}

\layout {

}
\new Score <<
\new Staff
<<\set Staff.instrumentName="Strange things"

Re: Bug with missing 16th lines

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Maarten,


I'm posting this bug here


Not sure this can really be called a "bug"… your input syntax is  
somewhat confusing.
In particular, it looks like you want polyphony, but aren't actually  
coding polyphonic voices (which would require a \\).


Here is a possible modification which is actually valid polyphonic  
syntax:


\version "2.12"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##t
}

\score
{
\new Staff
{
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Strange things"  
\relative c''
<<
{   \voiceOne
as2 ~ as2
}  \\
{   \voiceTwo
fis16 e16 d16 e16 ~ e4 ~ e2
}
>>
}
}

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Tremolo / tuplet

[Zbyněk Burget]

Hi,
I've small problem
I've following bar:

c4-. \times 2/3 { \repeat "tremolo" 3 c8 } c4-. \times 2/3 { \repeat 
"tremolo" 3 c8 }


so-called tremolo is "in tuplet". But tuplet numbers are not printed.
Is any way to "visible" tuplet numbers?

My idea was some as  { c8-3 }, but tuplet numbers are italic and 
fingerings are bold :-(


Thanks, Zbynek

rehearsal mark (number of part) together.

...and there is complication - this barline is on end of staffline :-(

multimeasure rest with no number of measures?

[Chip]

I would like to use a multi-measure rest, the long horizontal solid bar 
style, to indicate a rest period of any number of measures. I am trying 
to print lead sheets for some raggae music and the singer often changes 
things from one gig to the next. The horn players just listen for 
certain cues to indicate when they should play. I want a multi-measure 
rest with no number on it. Should be able to make on with any number 
then make the number invisible?

Thanks,
Chip

Re: two rehearsal mark on one barline

[Marek Klein]

Ahoj,
see this snippet:
 and use "scripts.ufermata" instead
of "scripts.segno".
Markup on end of line:


It is also very advisable to use current version of lilypond and to study
new documentation, especially learning manual.

printed page does not match the .pdf file

[Chip]

When I view my file as .pdf it shows the very small margins all the way 
around the page. When I print the .pdf using jpedal I get what appears 
to be 1" margins left and right and bottom, and about 2" from the top of 
the page to the top of the title. What do I have to do to get the page 
to print just like the .pdf? I am using jedit/jpedal on XP. Below is my 
code for this particular page.

Re: function to fit music within a given range?

[Gilles THIBAULT]

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).



Here is a function that seems to work but i am not sure that it will produce 
nices melodies ...



%%%
#(define (check-pitch limit-pitch p)
(if (ly:pitchcheckPitch  = #(define-music-function (parser location  note 
music )(ly:music? ly:music?)

(let* (
(elts (ly:music-property note 'elements))
(limit-pitch (ly:music-property (car elts) 'pitch)))
(if (ly:pitch? limit-pitch)
 (music-map
 (lambda (evt)
  (let ((p (ly:music-property evt 'pitch)))
   (if (ly:pitch? p)
(ly:music-set-property! evt 'pitch
 (check-pitch limit-pitch p)))
   evt))
 music)
music)))

music = \relative {
