If you look at the output of drumtest.ly, there's an extra crotchet

\override SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =

\override SpacingSpanner #'base-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1 16)
}
which saves a lot of typing, but still doesn't do exactly what you want.

translate audio to lilypond
Hi, list. I am very new to lilypond. I was looking for some kind of automated way to translate simple sound files to notation and I found this: http://moguillansky.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/translating-audio-to-musical-notation/ there are some scores which were generated automatically and translated to lilypond from musicxml. i tried the convert utility included in the last lilypond (2.12 on OSX intel) but it does not seem to handle dynamics at all, let alone note-sizes and microtones, as shown in the score. does anyone know how this "translation" was done? many thanks, malin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I looked into your project, but the project was complex enough that I didn't
want to spend the time to figure it all out.
I did get far enough to think that perhaps strict spacing only applies to
music notes. Grace notes and bar lines appear to be spaced around the notes
to avoid collisions. So, because of the number of grace notes you have, it
may not be possible to get the bar lines aligned, even if the main notes are
all perfectly aligned.
> is the repetitive repeating / unfolding / time signature code the only way
> to do this
The key issues I needed to add in order to make all the barlines align are:
Set strict-note-spacing #t
Set uniform-stretching #t
set proportionalNotationDuration to an appropriate level
These three things get the notes set right.
Then I need an invisible time signature at the beginning of each line to
match the space taken up by the time signature at the beginning of the first
line.
To achieve this I set TimeSignature break-visibility to
#begin-of-line-visible.
Also, after the first line, I set TimeSignature transparent to #t.
Then I have to add a new \time at each \break in order to generate the time
signature.
My repeat unfold code is just a shortcut to get lots of measures with a
little bit of typing, copying, and pasting.
The repeat unfold has nothing to do with it.
OTOH, the time signature at the end of each line is important, because I
need to use up the space for a time signature at the beginning of each line
so that the lines will match up with the first line that has a time
signature.
This should not be a huge problem for you, since you already control the
line breaks very tightly.
And it is possible to put all the line breaks in a spacing voice, as you can
see below:
\version "2.12"
#(set-default-paper-size "letter")
theNotes = {
\repeat unfold 4 { c'4 c' c' c'}
\repeat unfold 4 { \repeat unfold 8 {e'8}}
\repeat unfold 4 { c'4 c' c' c'}
}
theSpacing = {
\set Score.proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing = ##t
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
\override Score.TimeSignature #'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-visible
s1*3
\override Score.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\time 4/4 \break s1*3
\time 4/4 \break s1*3
\time 4/4 \break s1*3
}
\new Staff {
<<
\theSpacing
\theNotes
>>
}

Partial measures
I'm engraving a piece that has partial measures at the beginning and end of
both repeats. The piece is in 4/4 time, with the initial measure of each
repeat being 1/8 and the final measure 7/8. In a minimal example, eg
\relative c'' {
\time 4/4
\repeat volta 2 {
\partial 8 gis8 |
fis4 g g c, |
\partial 8*7 b2. r8
}
}
I get no errors, but in the actual score, adding the \partial 8*7 at the end
of a repeat gives a barcheck failed error. In s.1.2.3 of the NR it states
that \partial is intended only to be used at the beginning of a piece.
What's the correct way of getting this working?
Nick
Ps. Search function in the LSR seems broken at the moment - nothing gets
returned for any search.

Hi Nick,
I haven't had to do this before but it seems to work right without using
\partial after the beginning of the piece. See if this gets the output
you want. I just copied the same notes in to act as the B section:
%%%
\version "2.12.3"
\relative c'' {
\time 4/4
\repeat volta 2 {
\partial 8 gis8 |
fis4 g g c, |
b2. r8
}
\repeat volta 2 {
gis'8
fis4 g g c, |
b2. r8
}
}
%%%

Don't put the staff in the definition of clap.
And you may want to use a DrumStaff or a RhythmicStaff instead of a Staff
for the clapping.
But the real thing is to make a parallel section of two Staffs and a Lyrics,
instead of a Staff with two parallel voices (one of which contains a Staff)
and a parallel Lyrics

Your \score block just needed a bit of tweaking. I also took the \new
Staff command out of the clap variable and put it in the \score block.
Here's revised code. The output looks like what you want:

clap = \relative c'' {
\time 24/8
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Clap"
\teeny
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross

bla = \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Voice"
\time 24/8
\tempo 4.=80
\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross
\repeat volta 2 { b4. r b4. r b4. r4 b8^\markup {
\italic \left-column \small {
\line{ Quiet first time }
\line{ Loud second time } } }~ b4. r4. | }
\repeat volta 2 { b4 b8 b4 b8 b4. b b b4 b8~ b4. r4. | }
}

Custom key signatures
I managed to print custom key signatures from a microtonal font. One problem
remains, and I wonder if anyone can help me.
In my init file persian.ly I have defined variables for various key signatures
and keys, e.g. for Shur in E
shurEKey = \markup{
\translate #'(0 . 1) \SORISYMBOL
}
shurE = #`(
(3 . ,SORI)
)
were SORISYMBOL is my UTF-8 code form the font I've loaded.
My source file looks like this:
\include "persian.ly"
\score {
\relative c' {
\set Staff.keySignature = \shurE
a b c
}
\midi { }
\layout {
\context {
\Score \override KeySignature #'text = #shurEKey
}
}
}
which works fine. I would instead like to put the statement
\Score \override KeySignature #'text = #shurEKey
not in the layout{} but in my music expression, because now I can't change key
signature in a piece.
If I try that it will complain that shurKey is not a markup.
Can anybody explain what the problem is?
Thanks,
Kees
