Parametric variables?
Hello,
in the Snippet repository, I found the following:
c^\markup { \finger "2 - 3" }
I'd like to use it as a solution for my chord fingering problems like this:
^\markup { \finger "2\n1" }
but I would prefer to say
\fng("2\n1")
or similar.
Is it possible without diving into Scheme? That is - is it possible to
have "parametrized" variables, which could take an expression as a
parameter?
Thanks for your help.

Re: Parametric variables?
Hello,
thanks for answer. I tried my best, but I don't understand what's wrong.
I have slightly modified last example in NR 6.1.2 like this:
fng = #(define-music-function (parser location marktext) (string?)
#\markup {\finger $marktext}
#)
{1^\fng #"2\n1"}
And a resulting log looks like this:
# -*-compilation-*-

This is possible with Scheme. Depending on what exactly you want
to do, it could be very simple.

Re: Looking for proper beam grouping
Hi Maarten
I've made some changes which should produce the correct beaming by
default in this situation (along with quite a few more). They
should take effect in the first 2.13 version to be released.

Subject: Looking for proper beam grouping
I have a piece of music in 3/4 which has bars like { d4. c8 b8.
a16 }
Lilypond groups the last three notes together, making it look like
a 6/8 measure, but I want the c8 to be separate and only the b8.
a16 to be grouped (like a proper 3/4 would look like).
I've tried some settings, like #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end
* * * *) 1 4) or \set beatGrouping = #'(4 4 4) but to no avail.
How can I accomplish this?
Regards,
Maarten

a:4 chord
Hi,
First, sorry if this was already discussed, I did not found anything
regarding this in the documentation.
So I have the following block in my .ly file:
\chords {
a:7
}
and this is properly rendered to something similar to "A^7".
Now I want the same with A^4, so I type:
\chords {
a:4
}
and I get: A^4/sus4/add3.
Question: How do I get just an "A^4"? :)
Thanks.

Just use a chord name exception -- it looks like a lot of setting up,
but it's well worth it, and only needs to be done once. You can also
put this kind of thing in a separate file and \include it.

Re: Parametric variables?
Tomas,
You were very close. You were just missing a pair of brackets, which I've
indicated below.

However, this still doesn't work as expected, at least for me. the \n
doesn't add a newline in the markup on my compiler. It just turns into
whitespace.

Does \n normally work in lilypond markup? (I honestly don't know)
Why not just do \fng #2 #1, and use \column or whatever in the
function?

Persian fonts
Hi, I'm new to Lilypond and Opensource. Kees Van den doel worked on creating the persian.ly file recently, and he explained how to install the Init file for persian music fonts: "To use download the PostScript Type 1 Microtonal Font from Andrián Pertout ( http://www.pertout.com/PhD2007Introduction.htm) and copy the.pfb file into the directory LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/type1." I downloaded Pertout's Postscript a .pfb file that doesn't seem to work on my computer (Imac-intel). Now my question is: Can the program Ufond (http://fondu.sourceforge.net) "convert" a .pfb file into a mac-compatible one, in order to be able that file mentionned by Kees Van Den Doel? If yes, then where should i put the converted file? Kees says "copy the.pfb file into the directory LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/type1." But this directory seems to be a windows or linux directory, I can't find such a thing on mac. Well I hope my request makes sense, and that somebody will answer, in the meantime, a long searching night awaits for me... Thanks everyone. -- Patrick ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
