Re:ANN: LilyPondTool 2.12.869 Final Release

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear Bertalan,
thank You very much for the new version of the Lilypondtool!
For the virtual piano, that can make use of midi, I've been waiting for a
long time.
But I have two problems with this plugin (which, I guess, can be solved
easily):

   1. When the piano is switched on, it is not so comfortable to switch to
   reactivate the main window in Lilypondtool. I didn't find a shortcut for
   this.
   2. I couldn't change the shortcut for entering the 8th note to q (I
   usually prefer entering durations with the left hand).

Thanks for Your help,
Stefan

If you just want to insert some text, use Shift+Escape. Escape should

Quality of Lilypond outputs by MuseScore > 0.94

[Daryna Baikadamova]

Hi,

I have got some friends in the orchestra who are really afraid of
tackling the Lilypond language.  However I would really need them to
share my workload of re-typesetting orchestral scores to get the
parts.

What do you think about the quality of Lilypond outputs by MuseScore
0.94?  I had a look at lilypond output one of the demo files and it
seems to use the relative mode correctly and the lilypond file looks
readable to me.   How easy is it for a human to work on and maintain
these output files?

My long term plan is to give a player an orchestral part to typeset,
then I collect all of their files and convert to Lilypond

For the second stage, I create a common part which has common details
of tempo, repeats, rehearsal section mark etc.  Then I edit the
orchestral lilypond parts and get rid of common things that are in the
common parts and produce the full score, as well as lilypond
orchestral parts files by combining the common part and the edited
lilypond file.

How workable is this arrangement?  Could you offer a better startegy?

Thanks!

Daryna

Dear Beralan,

Changing the shortcut was no problem now, but, unfortunately, shift escape
didn't help, although the windows was docked. I don't know, why!

To exit the piano, Escape alone should work. If it doesn't try to change 
its binding to something different.

text with \musicglyph

[David Bobroff]

I'm trying to create a \mark which contains:

\markup {\bold \large "D.S. al" \musicglyph #"scripts.varcoda" }

...and I'm not getting entirely what I need.  The varcoda sign is too 
low and too close to the preceding text.  I've been searching through 
the docs to find a solution and have not yet come across what I need.


Ideas?

I made an informal experiment with collaborative typesetting among my
students. I split them in two-people teams and asked them to produce
variables of the type pianoOneRH={ ... } , pianoOneLH={ ... },
pianoTwoRH= etc. copied from staves off a score for 2 pianos.

These variables can be \included in a variety of files: one for
student, for him/her to test his/her own work, and one for me, which
contains the complete two-pianos structure. Single-staff parts could
be \included in single-staff score structures or into orchestral <<
\new Staff ... >> structures.

Now I repeat it on a yearly basis because it is very instructive. They
have to remember to process the master file (that of \includes) and
not the ones they are editing, that containing the variables.

I even managed to make my 7-old daughter typeset full piece, complete
with lyrics, asking her only to write the Spanish names of the
pitches, followed for a 8, 4 or 2 for the durations. For the lyrics, I
asked her to write down the syllables, space-doubledash-space
separated whenever needed. I prepared the structure for her but
undoubtedly this is a score typeset by her, in her mind.

I can imagine that for a complex orchestral work, the language
constructs could be complex as well, but the bulk of the work is still
pitches and durations only. With LilyPondTool they could even put
slurs afterwards, and enjoy pressing F7 frequently to watch their
progress.

Re: adding tremolo to a note with dotted duration

[Nick Didkovsky]

Hello

What is the proper way to add 16th note tremolo to a note that has a 
dotted duration?


The following renders a dotted eighth note with a single tremolo slash 
instead of two trem slashes


g'8.:16

Thank-you

Re: text with \musicglyph

[David Stocker]

Try this:

\mark
\markup
\line
\general-align #Y #CENTER {
 \bold \large "D.S. al"
 \musicglyph #"scripts.varcoda"
}

and see if that does what you want. You can make life easier by doing:

varCoda = {
 \mark
 \markup
 \line
 \general-align #Y #CENTER {
   \bold \large "D.S. al"
   \musicglyph #"scripts.varcoda"
  }
}

and then just doing \varCoda whenever you need to use that sign. And, 
adding some \hspace before the varcoda glyph will help with the spacing.


See B.8.2 Align in the documentation:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Align#Align

HTH,

David

That is correct. For a note value equal to a quarter note or
longer, one slash means 8th-notes, two slashes mean 16th-notes,
etc. But for a note value shorter than a quarter note (ie. one
that already has one or more flags or beams, each slash halves the
undotted duration of the printed note. This is the standard
notational convention.

Hope this helps.

How would I add the "z" marking to the red snare example?

Greetings Matthew,

Here's how I create the Zs for my pieces.

ZRollsOn = \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-0.5 . -4.5)
ZRollsOff = \revert TextScript #'extra-offset
Z = \markup { \bold "z" }

Then I just do something like this:

sn8 \ZRollsOn sn8-\Z sn8-\Z \ZRollsOff sn8

There are probably more accurate methods based on overriding the stem 
stencil, but I'm not sure how to do that.


The extra-offset values will need to be shifted based on what sort of 
scheme you're using for your staves. That extra-offset pair is great for 
a single-line snare system with downward stems (leaving the area above 
notes for sticking indications and articulations).


I have a full drumline template hiding around here somewhere I can 
offer, if you're interested.


Cheers,
Bryan...

vertical alignment of single systems on page

[grisu_76]

Dear group members,

since a couple of days I try to align a single system (orchestral score)
vertically: see attachment for details;
http://www.nabble.com/file/p24693463/Missa%2Bin%2BEs_Partitur_04_Graduale.pdf
Missa+in+Es_Partitur_04_Graduale.pdf 

the problem is that there is a large amount of empty space at the bottom
margin of the pages;

I want the single system to be stretched evenly onto the page, but this does
not work;

I studied the contributions in the group, esp. the following:

http://www.nabble.com/Vertical-stretching-of-groups-td17840365.html#a18722629

http://www.nabble.com/setting-max-stretch-to-a-high-value-still-leaves-some-space-at-the-bottom-td17719270.html#a17840464

I used the reference manual and the snippets-collection  as well, but I have
no idea how to fix this problem;

Maybe one of you has found a satisfactionary solution...

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Christian
