Custom guitar chords
Hi,
Here is a sample:
\version "2.12.1"
\score {
<<
\chords {
e1:sus4 g e:m b:m
}
\relative c'
{
e8.
^\markup \fret-diagram #"f:2;6-o;5-o;4-2-2;3-2-3;2-o;1-o;"
e16( e8) e8 e16 d e8 r4 | e8 e e16 e8 e16 e8 e( b'4) |
b8 a g16 g8 fis16 fis g e8 r8. e16 | fis8
^\markup \fret-diagram #"f:2;5-o;4-4-3;3-4-4;2-o;1-2-1;"
fis16 e fis8 g16 fis( fis4) g16( fis e fis)
}
>>
}
So I'm having normal chords like 'g' and 'e:m' but I have two custom
chords as well. I have a problem and a question as well.
First, currently the output has "Bm" for my chord, but actually I would
like to have it as 'Bm \super "omit3"/A'. (No, I don't really mind about
the midi output. :) )
Second, It's a bit ugly to define the custom chords inside the notes and
not in the \chords secion. Is it possible to do something like
"^\markup" in the \chords section?
Thanks!

Lilypond is amazing! (engraving Reubke)
Hi, Just to learn LilyPond better I've engraved the splendid Organ Sonata "Der 94ste Psalm" by Julius Reubke (1834-1858) with LilyPond 2.13.1. The result can be seen here [1]. The 28-page score is based on the IMSLP score (first edition 1871) of this piece. The .ly files live in the lilymusic googlecode repository [2], a repo which I'm btw happy to share with anybody wanting to write good LilyPond scores (of public domain or otherwise Free music) under free licenes and svn version control. I discovered many niceties, e.g. when you use named contexts everywhere, you are always able to add things like markups and even accents etc. later from outside the main music definitions. This helps to separate the music and notes/remarks etc. I use a Devnull context containing some line breaks. The system-count and max-systems-per-page settings helped me well to get the score on the right number of pages. Also a few lil' bugs I'll try to isolate, like cross-staff slurs sometimes behave strange, esp. when there are also markups below or above. Forcing or forbidding line breaks works around that kind of problems. And sometimes autobeamed notes have too long stems just before/after staff changes (already in issue tracker). And LilyPond uses more than 600MB main memory during engraving which almost puts my 512M laptop to a grinding halt. I bought a new computer with 4gig main ram just to use LilyPond for my Reubke score! :-) [1] http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/reubke/psalm94 [2] http://code.google.com/p/lilymusic/ and http://code.google.com/p/lilymusic/source/browse/#svn/trunk/reubke/psalm94 best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Didn't know it is one. Btw: What the word for the opposite margin? I don't know there is one. Why should there be? Just like a page has a top and bottom margin, and your usable area is usually what's left (but may lose some to a header and/or footer space), so from left to right you normally have left and right margin with usable area being what's left, you sometimes lose some of that to the binding margin. I'll use American sizes for easy maths, but lets say you have a 1/2" binding margin, that leaves you with an 8" wide page. If you now have 1/2" left and right margins that leaves you with 7" of usable space. And you'd spec that as '1/2" left and right, and 1/2" binding margins'. That says everything that needs to be said. Cheers, Wol -- Anthony W.

I just compiled the whole score under windows/xp-sp3 with 512 MB RAM and I can confirm it used up to 665MB main memory - and of course it took a long time to finish: 46 minutes! unfortunately i forgot to turn off "point'n click", so a file of 3.76MB resulted (yours only had 600KB!) further small differences are probably due to the fact that i run it with 2.12.2 and i got only 26 pages (28 in yours) - but it will take some time to see all differences. anyway: congrats for this beautiful work and thanks for making it available for all interested people! -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Lilypond-is-amazing%21-%28engraving-Reubke%29-tp23067386p23068931.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Would you really like a Bm with the third missing and an A bass? If so, you
could use
b:m-3/+a
I think you'll still need to use the chord name markup that Robin showed
you, but at least you'll have the right notes.

I think you'll be much happier if you use the FretBoards context for your
fret diagrams, instead of using markups on the notes. Please see section
2.4.1 of the Notation Reference, especially the section on Predefined fret
diagrams. You can define the fret diagram for your b:m-3/+a chord once, and
use it multiple times in your work. If you can't figure out how to do it,
I'll be happy to give you some more guidance.
As a preview, you'd add the following to the top of your file:
\include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly"
\storePredefinedDiagram \chordmode { e:sus4 }
#guitar-tuning
#"x;;4-3;4-4;;2-1;"
Then you'd add a new context between your ChordNames context and your Staff
context:
\new FretBoards {e1:sus4 }

Carl

MIDI output in Mac OS X 10.5.2
When I insert the \midi { } in the \score section of my Lilypond projects,
the only output produced are a .ps file and a .pdf file, no MIDI output. Is
there a known error/bug that could cause this? A common mistake that I could
be making? Any help you can offer?
Thanks in advance,
-Io Daly
