This is a bug with Inkscape that will be fixed for 0.47:

The fix in Comment 9 (currentColor -> #000) is what I've been using as
a temporary workaround.

I have copied the otf fonts to ~/.fonts and I see the svg correctly on
Ubuntu 8.10, EoG, Inkscape 0.46 and Firefox 3.06 (very small size on screen)

Besides saying "read the manual", which I've already waded through many

at this page" or simply posting the code snippet would save much
frustration.


Here's how I'd do the OP example, incorporating your flam macro from 
another thread:


---
\version "2.12.2"

qBeam = {
 #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 1 4 'Staff)
 #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 2 4 'Staff)

}

tomflam = \drummode {
 \override Stem #'length = #4.5
 \acciaccatura {toml8}
 \revert Stem #'length
}

global = {
 \time 3/4
 \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 16) 
 \set subdivideBeams = ##t 
}


test = \drummode {
 \qBeam

\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam 
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8


\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam 
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8

}

\score {

 \new DrumStaff { \global \test }
   
 \layout {

   \context {
 \DrumStaff
 \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
 \override BarLine #'bar-size = #4  % you need this to see the 
barlines on a single-line drum staff

   }
 } % close layout
} % close score

--

For a drum part with two lines of notes, I'd do it this way; the 
\voiceOne and \voiceTwo automatically take care of stem directions.


\version "2.12.2"

up = \drummode { notes go here }

down = \drummode { notes go here }

\score {
  \new DrumStaff
  <<
 \new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
 \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
  >>

  \layout { include the stuff from the above example, if necessary }

}

Re: TAB question -- frescobaldi tab support

2009-02-19 Thread David Stocker
When I start to work with the Tab features, my guess is that most of 
what we do (at least initially) will go right to the LSR. That will 
probably include scores for Gtr./Tab, 7-string Gtr./Tab, and 4, 5 and 6 
string Bass/Tab. I really haven't started to explore LilyPond's Tab 
features.


On a related note (related to our efforts in documenting LilyPond's 
yet-to-be-implemented features Re:Tab), I've started to catalog the 
different bends that are currently not supported in LilyPond. So far, we 
have three individuals who wish to be included in the discussion on Tab 
implementation. If we get about 10, I'll open up a temporary mailing 
list. If it's just three or four, we can circulate our ideas off-list 
and then hit up -devel when we have something to propose.


Cheers!

[Frescobaldi] Bass and Electric Bass template, tab tunings support

Currently Frescobaldi's Bass and Electric Bass template inherit the basic 
TablaturePart features also found in the other tablature instruments, When 
tablature (TabStaff) is chosen, it presents the tuning option Bass Tuning 
(stringTunings = #bass-tuning). If you choose bass tuning, the TabStaff 
template has four strings. Is that good, or should I add support for other 
options/tuning?

I like to provide UI options for the predefined LilyPond tunings (that are in 
the docs) and I'm a bit reluctant to add custom tunings, but of course it 
would be possible to even create a small Custom Tuning Wizard inside the score 
wizard. Please let me know if that would be an important feature for any of 
you, or if you have any other wishes/bug report regarding Frescobaldi in 
general (or use the bug tracker[1]) or it's tablature instrument support in 
particular.

Well, Spanish translation of the docs is fairly well maintained, don't

I am with you in that every available effort to help development is invaluable.

That's also what I'm trying to achieve but it doesn't always seem possible
with LilyPond only. I like having separate input files for the different
instruments, but for most projects, I don't think it would be wise to go
further and put other tools in the picture such as a preprocessor that would
fetch its data from a database!

E.g. in this instance, I would have liked to keep the drone notes and the
melody notes together (i.e. in the same file) because they both are the
bagpipe "content".
But that, as we've seen, that makes it difficult to separate the printed
from the midi output; hence I had to *separate* contents that belong
together (i.e. create the "drone" staff) and then use "\tag"...

Of course, that's also what I do.
But having the "drone" and "melody" in separate voices is not enough; they
had to go in separate staves. Otherwise I would have mixed contents (music)
with layout decision, by specifiying a "\tag #'no-layout" in front of the
drone "Voice"!

Anyway, in the end, it works, with minimal changes :-)

Best,
Gilles

I didn't know what your original paper size was - and on my machine it 
all fit on 1 8x11 page. So I think with adjusting the paper size and 
font size and then a bit of tweaking it should work fine.




Frank Zimmerman wrote:

Timothy,

Thanks for the sample LY file.  I tested it out and for a basic 
first-run, it is quite impressive.  On the other hand, it spreads the 
song over one and one-third pages of letter size paper, whereas the 
original was put on a single 6x9 page, so there will be a lot of 
spacing issues and tweaking required to get it into that smaller format.


However, I am encouraged to give it a try, so I will dig into the 
Lilypond manual and see how it goes.

amounts of
time learning it, I was just hoping that a few experts who have used 
the
program for a while can tell me if it is possible to have absolute 
control

over lyric spacing?

With some of the hymns I worked on, an attempt was made to make 
every phrase

fit into one line of music, so as to keep the hymn on one page.  This
involved really tight spacing control, especially when four or five 
lyric

lines are involved.  An excellent example of this can be seen in the
following PDF, which I have tried to attach, and will also provide a
download link:
http://www.practicatechnical.comflowers.pdf .

If you take a look at this file, you will see that sometimes to 
obtain a
good readable text layout, words or parts of words had to be moved 
to the
left or right of the note they belonged to.  At other times, hyphens 
were
ommitted, so as to save space...this means the word must be 
spaceable under
two notes.  It requires quite a bit of control over spacing to 
achieve this.

Sibelius allowed me to do this...can I do the same with Lilypond?
If you already have Lilypond install - cut and paste this code into 
it.  There is quite a bit of tweaking you can do.

Standard Electric basses have four strings, so that would probably be
useful to most people using a Bass/Tab template. That being said--5, 6,
7 and more strings are becoming more and more common all the time.



Currently Frescobaldi's Bass and Electric Bass template inherit the 
basic TablaturePart features also found in the other tablature 
instruments, When tablature (TabStaff) is chosen, it presents the 
tuning option Bass Tuning (stringTunings = #bass-tuning). If you 
choose bass tuning, the TabStaff template has four strings. Is that 
good, or should I add support for other options/tuning?
  
I think four strings is good, but maybe it would be nice to have a 
possibility to choose also five strings if you got an five string 
bass... (I didn't know there are six string basses too, until David 
told it...)



About the bass-tuning. When I do

c,4\3

The fret position and the high of the C wasn't what I suspected and 
which should be the default imho.


when I do

c4\3

The note is ok, but the fret position not...

I mean the fret position is right, the C note not... (one octave to low 
I think)

\break frocing indents?

2009-02-19 Thread kristof

hi,
i'm writing a time-proportional score, and for that (next to using 
lots of tweaks), i often need to control where the line breaks come 
manually with \break.
now (after having some lines where i did'nt need to control the 
breaking), i noticed that after each forced line break, the staff on 
the next rule is indented.

is there a way to override this behaviour?
thanks!
Kristof

\natural

2009-02-19 Thread Nikolay Kirov
Hi!

I need to place \natural (in front of a note) like sharp or flat (aes
or ais) ignoring any automatic rules.
Is it possible?

Nikolay
