lilypond-book setup for windows
Hello, now, that I have all relevant scores coded with lilypond I want to put together all my notes in an analytical, didatical orientated "book" with scores and a lot of referential incipts, themes, excerpts etc. And the only way I can do this in a timely manner seems to be with lilypond-book. Until now I gathered all my notes etc. in a personal-wiki, but this concept of a "Zettelkasten" (slip box?) is not working for a structured approach for learning material. I have to do that step by step. Until now I have not worked with Latex, Tex, Docbook... So my question: Are there recommondations for an integrated editorial environment using lilypond-book on a windows machine which is easy to use ? I know I have to learn some coding but I dont want to dig the next year into the internals of TEX to layout a text properly. I like the clear format of the lilypond-documentation. Would that be a starting point and when yes: How could this be done without using dreamweaver ;-) As always thanks in advance for your time and help Hajo --- ... indessen wandelt harmlos droben das Gestirn ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I really like the results from PDFtoMusic, made by Myriad Software. I have tried using pdf prints generated from Finale and Sibelius and the results are just great.

It also > downloads all branches, which in most cases is not necessary. It depends on what branches people work with. If they only work on the master branch, then the `git clone' method is a lot easier, IMO. The `git clone' method *does* set up easy pulling and pushing, but only for the master branch (I think). The confusion comes in when trying to juggle multiple remote branches on multiple local branches. This is when knowledge of git is necessary, because there are different ways of doing things. For example, this is the method I would recommend to fetch the LilyPond repo and make a patch for the documentation: git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git cd lilypond git checkout -b mybranch ...make changes... git commit -a git format-patch master Let's say remote master has changed in the meantime, and you want to create a new patch rebased on current master: cd lilypond git checkout master git pull git checkout mybranch git rebase master git format-patch master If you want to create a new patch, just do this: cd lilypond git checkout master git pull git checkout mybranch ...make changes... git commit -a git rebase master git format-patch master If you have push access, just add a couple more steps: cd lilypond git checkout master git pull git checkout mybranch ...make changes... git commit -a git rebase master git checkout master git merge mybranch git push git+ssh://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond.git *** Ideally, users would know what all of these commands mean, but as you say, if we put these sequences in the Contributer's Guide, then they can simply copy and paste. These command sequences generally work, unless there are rebase conflicts, which requires another two paragraphs itself to explain. They also eliminate the extra `merge' commits you see occasionally. -Patrick ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Yes, it would be very nice to have one good export format and a good importer. But Sibelius does not produce MusicXML without the help of an expensive plugin. > ... PDFtoMusic, made by Myriad Software ... Yet another closed, non-free product that doesn't run on my platforms. But if it works for you, please go ahead. Why not set up a web service that allows us to submit a PDF and get back the MusicXML and/or LilyPond source? -- Johan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: new Problem with Time-Sig
Dear Neil,
Yes, I don't now how to reduce the distance and first staff in this example.
It is an excerpt of a larger score, and the first staff isn't always
the same, it's a so called french score.
Here is the example:
\version "2.12.1"
#(set-global-staff-size 12)
\paper {
ragged-bottom = #f
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
\layout
{
\context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }
\context { \Score \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t }
\context { \Score \consists "Time_signature_engraver" }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'style = #'() }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'break-align-symbol
= #'staff-bar }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'X-offset: =
#ly:self-alignment-interface::x-aligned-on-self }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'break-visibility =
#end-of-line-invisible }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'extra-spacing-width
= #'(+inf.0 . -inf.0) }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'font-size = #3 }
\context { \Score \override TimeSignature #'extra-offset =
#'(0 . 1.5) }
\context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" }
}
\layout { \context { \Score \override VerticalAlignment #'max-stretch
= #ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch
\override RehearsalMark #'font-size = #2 %Studierzeichen Groesser
}
}
noten = \new Staff {
b''4 ~ (
\times 4/5 {
b''8 [ f''8 cis''8 e'8 c''!8 )] } %das sieht fürchterlich aus!

What final output do you want? If you want publication-quality PDF output, LaTeX is your best bet (http://miktex.org/ for windows), and there are several editors that could be helpful: http://www.texniccenter.org/ http://www.winedt.com/ http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/ http://www.latexeditor.org/ The LilyPond documentation is written in texinfo, which is processed to produce both the PDF and HTML versions. On the other hand, writing in plain HTML is a reasonable option if you only want web output.

Persian fonts
Hi all, I updated the persian.ly init file with some more Persian "keys", instructions for setting up the fonts for the Mac (thank you Patrick) and some extended examples. http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kvdoel/tmp/persian.zip There are still plenty of problems, for example the Persian accidentals don't align well when you change the font size (apart from that they don't look that nice). Hopefully they will be integrated in 2.13 at some point. Kees ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
