There have been a bunch of discussions lately about lillypond-book

2009-03-12 Thread Tim Litwiller
but reading them I can not determine if there is a way to use it in 
windows or not.


I run lilypondtool as setup with easylilypond and them upgraded with the 
latest lilypond and lilypondtool and I have 5 local songwriters setup 
this way also.  What can I do to to help them compile their music into 
books?


Currently I we are just taking all the song pdfs and seperate pages for 
the cover and any other pages the author wants.on a jumpdrive to the 
printers.


I've tried \including them like someone suggested here last week, but 
that method I lost the song titles and other header information.


One author writes a variety of songs some are quite short 1 or 2 lines 
of music and other are more than one page - so she wants to be able to 
run one song over one page and then put a short song below it on the 
second page.  Or put a drawing below the music on the second page if 
there are no short songs in that book.


I'm guessing for her converting to an image and them cutting and pasting 
into a dtp program will be the easiest.

Hi Tim,

1. Did you use "print-all-headers = ##t"?
2. Did you try \bookpart?

Hope this helps!

hmm, I'm sorry, I thought you want to control the distance between systems, 
but you probably mean to print something at the right of every system.
I'm not sure how to do that, but I'd be interested as well :)

This creates a bit of a problem because the main stave is _already_
within a StaffGroup, so the default barline style of the 'master'
subgroup overrides (or overprints, rather...) the dashed barline.

Asking to overcome that limitation is probably too much, but I can work
around it by rejigging the groupings a bit.  However, there is another
issue -- 'glyph-name=#":" has a problem that when the staves are not
spaced perfectly, there is a big gap between the stave and the beginning
of the dots.

Is there any other way of getting effective dotted or dashed
between-stave barlines?  I would have expected 'stencil to be the
property to set, but can find no examples ...

Thanks again,

Re: Line break and page fit do not work

2009-03-12 Thread grisu_76

I found the source of the problem: It wasn't the measure length, it was a
problem with forced beams:

I wrote: 

g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] g4 [ < g h,>8 < g h,>8] 

in a 4/4 instead of:

c4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8]  g4 < g h,>8 [ < g h,>8]


But this syntax error occurred several measures before the measure I
suspected to cause the problem.

Nevertheless, I learned much about trouble-shooting!

Re: Line break and page fit do not work

2009-03-12 Thread Mats Bengtsson
I hope you know that LilyPond will give exactly the same beaming as your 
forced beaming, in this particular example, and that it often is a 
better idea to modify the automatic beaming rules than to manually add 
beams. See the LilyPond Notation Reference for more information.

Does anyone know about this problem?

  

Have you checked that all your measure lengths are correct? If a
measure isn't correct you might not have notes finishing at the end of
measures, and lilypond will have trouble finding places to break
lines. Here's an example in case that isn't clear

\time 4/4 a4 a a % <--- This bar is missing a beat \repeat volta 20
{a2 a}   % <--- None of these notes will begin at the start of 
		 %  	a measure, because they're all offset by a

 %  beat.

See the file ly/grace-init.ly for hints.  This is one possible solution:


\version "2.12.2"

startGraceMusic = { \override Stem #'stroke-style = #"grace" }
stopGraceMusic = { \revert Stem #'stroke-style }
startAcciaccaturaMusic = \startGraceMusic
stopAcciaccaturaMusic = \stopGraceMusic

\relative c'' {
  g4 \grace { f8 } e8 d c2
  g'4 \acciaccatura { f8 } e8 d c2
}

Ok, I researched those 2,

print-all-headers = ##t
if I understand correctly this goes in the paper section and lets you 
force headers when the are in the score block,  rather than a separate 
header block, mine are each in their own header block in their own .ly 
file - it didn't seem to make any difference on the example I had.


\bookpart
I'm struggling with understanding the documentation - I've tried setting 
a \bookpart with the title page in \markup and then another with the 
first file to include but it seems to be having errors on every lines in 
the included file.


I'll keep reading.
