I can't give you any particular hints on that one, I just wanted to mention 
that I'm working on the vertical alignment of bass figures with extenders.

Re: problem with partcombine

2009-11-17 Thread Stefan Thomas
Dear community,
I was now able to reproduce the error. It has do do with \context Voice.
When I compile the following snippet, the text "solo" is not printed, and
the upper voice is shown as voiceOne.
Here is the snippet:
\version "2.12.2"

upper = \relative c'' {
  \context Voice << {\repeat "unfold" 2 { c4 d8 e f g a b c1 }}
{s1\pp\< s1\f s1\pp }>>
}
lower = \relative c' { R1*4   }
all ={ \new Staff {\partcombine \upper \lower } }
\score { \new PianoStaff {\all } }

Actually LilyPond ties the right notes, but moves the Tie due to the 
accidentals (LP does not want to draw the Tie accross accidentals). The tie 
should be flipped instead (you can do that manually with a ^ or _ before the ~ 
). I found that if a sharp is used instead of a flat, the tie flips. If a flat 
is used, its stem is apparently to high, causing LP to move the tie downwards 
instead.

\version "2.12.0"

%{
  This is interesting: the tie flips if there is a sharp
  but is moved downwards if there is a flat. This causes
  the impression that the wrong notes are tied.

LilyPond ties the chords. Actually you want separate voices, as a tie's

 ~  is actually a polyphonic part, so I think it 
should be written like:

So actually what LilyPond fails to do: automatically tie same notes in

This happens even if the ~ is attached specifically to the note that

The buggy behaviour doesn't always happen, but sometimes does if

Embedded PS graphics into scores

2009-11-17 Thread Jesús Guillermo Andrade
Dear fellows: Inspired by the script created for flamenco music I  
began to design some symbols which are specific for a cuatro in  
Venezuela and other parts of the world.
At any rate, the main difficulty Im experiencing right now is the fact  
that no matter how good, or scaled or proportioned I put a graphic, it  
just gets repeated twice in the output.

Let me explain.
1. Originally, the guy that created the flamenco example, used very  
simple PS commands to draw, again, a very simple shape of an arrow. To  
insert them, you just need this kind of construct:


golpe = \markup { \postscript #"
  0.2 setlinewidth
  0 0 moveto
  1 0 lineto
  1 1 lineto
  stroke

2. This, however nice, is not sufficient for my purposes. Since I need  
better arrows I decided to install a complete function for creating  
several kinds of arrows by using PS command exclusively. Now, the  
place to use this arrows is probably in the title section, so I put  
them in my file like this:


\header {
  tagline = ##f
  title = "Viajera del Río"
  subtitle = "Vals Venezolano"
  composer = \markup {
\column \roman \right-align {"Manuel YÁNEZ"
 \lower #2 \tiny "Transcrito por Jesús G. Andrade."
 \lower #1 \tiny "Conservatorio Vicente E. Sojo."
 \vspace #1
}
  }
  meter = \markup {\strokeUp \strokeUp \strokeDown \strokeDown  
\strokeUp}

}

3. As you can see, I redefined the strokeUp and Down just for testing  
purposes and used it within the \meter environment for the nice  
placement in regard of the page and the score. The said PS function  
gets interpreted well with GS, however, they get repeated and lilypond  
inserts a full empty page with it. I tried to simplify it to the  
extreme, but is seems lilypond gets confused with the context of the  
ps function. This is the full example of the function to draw an arrow  
as I want:


% Finger stroke symbols
strokeUp = \markup { \postscript #"
/arrowdict 14 dict def
arrowdict begin
   /mtrx matrix def
end

/arrow
 {arrowdict begin
   /headlength exch def
   /halfheadthick exch 2 div def
   /halfthick exch 2 div def
   /tipy exch def  /tipx exch def
   /taily exch def /tailx exch def

   /dx tipx tailx sub def
   /dy tipy taily sub def
   /arrowlength dx dx mul dy dy mul add sqrt def
   /angle dy dx atan def
   /base arrowlength headlength sub def

   /savematrix mtrx currentmatrix def

   tailx taily translate
   angle rotate

   0 halfthick neg moveto
   base halfthick neg lineto
   base halfheadthick neg lineto
   arrowlength 0 lineto
   base halfheadthick lineto
   base halfthick lineto
   0 halfthick lineto
   closepath

   savematrix setmatrix
 end
} def
   newpath
   4 3 4 .9 .9 2 2 .2 sqrt mul 2 div
arrow .65 setgray fill
showpage


Any clues as to what can I do to get rid of this erroneous behaviour?   
I appreciate your patience.

You could use lilypond-book, which uses latex.  It's a learning curve if you
have never done anything like that, though.

I attach a document that I am working on here and there that shows tabs with

\section{Tuning in Perfect Fourths}

The standard tuning for a six-string guitar is e'-h-g-d-A-E.  The
intervals between the strings are perfect fourths except for the
interval between the second and the third string, which is a major
third.  Therefore, fingering patterns that cross from the second to
the third string are different from fingering patterns that cross
other string pairs, requiring the player to memorize and practice a
huge variety of fingering patterns for chords and scales.  The
advantage is that there are many simple chord patterns for 5 and
6-tone voicings involving open strings or bar chords.

Tuning your guitar in \emph{perfect fourths}, f'-c'-g-d-A-E, has the
advantage that it removes the need to learn different fingering
patterns depending on the strings used.  Compared to other
equal-interval tunings (specifically perfect fifths) it has the
additional advantages of differing from the standard tuning in the two
high strings, sharing the lower four string tunings with the standard
guitar and bass tuning.  Also, it does not require changing the
strings or setup of the guitar, so the same guitar can be used to play
in standard tuning and in perfect fourths.  The main disadvantage
shared by all alternative tunings is that the huge literatur for
guitars in standard tuning becomes inaccessible.

Tune your guitar in standard tuning, then tune the higher two strings
up by one semitone.  A chromatic electronic tuner works best.  You
arrive at the tuning in perfect fourths:

\begin{lilypond}
standardTuning = #'(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -20)

emptyStdChord = 
\storePredefinedDiagram \emptyStdChord
#standardTuning
#"o;o;o;o;o;o;"

allfourthsTuning = #'(5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20)

emptyChord = 
\storePredefinedDiagram \emptyChord
#allfourthsTuning
#"o;o;o;o;o;o;"

mychordnames = \chordmode {
 e1:m7.11  r1 r1 r1  d1:m7.9.11/e }

<<
  \new ChordNames \mychordnames
  \new FretBoards {
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
\override FretBoard #'(fret-diagram-details orientation) = #'landscape
\set stringTunings = #standardTuning

% emptyStdChord
\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #0
1
r1 r1 r1

\set stringTunings = #allfourthsTuning

% emptyChord
% \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #0
1
 }
  \new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
% emptyStdChord
1 ^\markup { Standard Tuning }

r1 r1 r1

% emptyChord
1 ^\markup { Perfect Fourths Tuning }
  }
  \new TabStaff
   {
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #standardTuning

% emptyStdChord
\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #0
1
r1 r1 r1

\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #allfourthsTuning

% emptyChord
% \set TabStaff.minimumFret = #0
1
   } 
>>
>>
\end{lilypond}

\subsection{How to use this booklet}

Every example is given in standard notation with fingering and in
tabulature.  Fretboard diagrams are provided where useful.  In
Sect.~\ref{reference} you can find a reference table with all chords.
In the next section a road map is provided which can be used to learn
chords and voicings incrementally to build up a repertoire of jazz
standards.  This may be a starting point for your own studies.

\emph{TODO:} It is planned to provide some arrangements and examples
from other styles beside jazz, for example menuetts and pop songs.


\section{Suggested Road Map for Rhythm Guitar}

This road map walks you through the most important chords and voicings
in perfect fourth tuning, demonstrating the new material with common
Jazz session tunes.

\subsection{Root Movement and Cycle of Fourths}

There are two attractive possibilities for root movement around the
circle of fourths.  Both follow the same fretboard pattern, which is
shifted by one fret.

\begin{lilypond}
allfourthsTuning = #'(5 0 -5 -10 -15 -20)

mychords = {
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)

% Root Movement Circle of Fourths
\set TabStaff.minimumFret = #8

small blank space just after clef/time signs for example

2009-11-17 Thread MonAmiPierrot

Hello,
I need to format some musical examples for my musicology book. The examples
are tiny ones, and it would be good to isolate them from the clef/key/time
(as well as tempo) environment.
So, I need to put a small blank space (blank blank, without the staff) just
after theclef/key/time symbols, just to give the Idea that the key/time
environment beginnes earlier, and this is just an excerpt.
I would like also to put some \tempo, and usually this is also set at the
beginning of the musical context, but I would need to be put directly above
clef/time.
I also would like to be given the possibility to put the blank space between
different examples from the same musical context, with the same function the
sign  " [...] "  have for written text.
Any idea???
Thanks!!!

Piero

Thank Mats, that works!
Now I can set up easily a book with LilyPond and LaTeX..
.. it was the last obstacle in my getting started with LP.

So, the file structure of my input .ly files is:

\header
\paper
[variables]
\book
  \score

In the .lytex file I had to specify the line-width of the .ly files 
and put a 0 margin, in order to center all the files:


\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\usepackage{graphics}
\usepackage[margin=0cm]{geometry}


\begin{document}

\lilypondfile[line-width=180]{ly/file1.ly}
\pagebreak

\lilypondfile[line-width=180]{ly/file2.ly}
\pagebreak

Do you think it could be useful if we add it to the Doc?

 ~  is actually a polyphonic part, so I think

So actually what LilyPond fails to do: automatically tie same notes

I just tried with version 2.10, where {  ~  f'~>  }
gives ties between the f for both pairs of chords, whereas 2.12 and 
2.13 draw the tie below both chords. Seems like a regression bug 
compared to 2.10!

Lilypond 2.13.6 has what looks like a bug: when two chords are to be

be tied, sometimes the latter are tied and the former are not.


This happens even if the ~ is attached specifically to the note that 
is to be at the left-hand end of the tie.


The buggy behaviour doesn't always happen, but sometimes does if
1) stems go up and
2) there are notes that are to be tied, which are above notes that 
are at the same level but are not to be tied.


I'm sorry if this has been raised before; I didn't find it when I 
looked in the forum's archives for "tie note chord".

Re: Embedded PS graphics into scores

Ah, yes, sorry then, I misunderstood your inspiration and
thought you found this script elsewhere on the list or somewhere similar.

Sorry for the noise.

Dear fellows: Inspired by the script created for flamenco music I 
began to design some symbols which are specific for a cuatro in 
Venezuela and other parts of the world.
At any rate, the main difficulty Im experiencing right now is the 
fact that no matter how good, or scaled or proportioned I put a 
graphic, it just gets repeated twice in the output.

Let me explain.
1. Originally, the guy that created the flamenco example, used very 
simple PS commands to draw, again, a very simple shape of an arrow. 
To insert them, you just need this kind of construct:


golpe = \markup { \postscript #"
 0.2 setlinewidth
 0 0 moveto
 1 0 lineto
 1 1 lineto
 stroke

2. This, however nice, is not sufficient for my purposes. Since I 
need better arrows I decided to install a complete function for 
creating several kinds of arrows by using PS command exclusively. 
Now, the place to use this arrows is probably in the title section, 
so I put them in my file like this:

[...]



Any clues as to what can I do to get rid of this erroneous 
behaviour?  I appreciate your patience.

This isn't a solution to your postscript problem, but have you seen

Indent only one system, replace long extender with dashes

2009-11-17 Thread Frederick Dennis
Dear All,
\version "2.12.2"
How do you indent just one system?
I've got some shortInstrumentNames appearing at bar
23, the previous bars being hidden, so
short-indent in \layout makes room for the
names, but also indents all the other
systems which I don't want.

Also, the section is voices singing: "Ah".
I used a hidden slur to get an extender
but would rather have a line of dashes
as the extenders look ugly to my mind.
How do I replace a long extender with
a row of dashes?

Thanks for your attention. I have looked in
the docs and the listservs.
Fred.

Hi, Frederick,

perhaps I'm just tired, but no idea right now for this one.

...which is not what you should do. Have a look at \melisma and \melismaEnd.

Look at the attached file. You might want to play around with all the 
properties of the lyric-hyphen-interface (see 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/internals/lyric_002dhyphen_002dinterface#lyric_002dhyphen_002dinterface), 
since those are not set by default for LyricExtenders. I also added a 
little offset in X-direction - if you also think the extender is too 
short without this override, you could also try a hidden note as the 
last one in the melisma, but for me this looks worse since it corrupts 
the overall spacing. Your mileage may vary, though.



Cheers,
Alexander
mel = { c4\melisma d e f8 g\melismaEnd | \break c1 }
% with hidden note: (instead of the third override)
% mel = { c4\melisma d e f8[ g8*1/2] \hideNotes g\unHideNotes \melismaEnd | \break c1 }
lyr = \lyricmode {
	\once \override Lyrics . LyricExtender #'stencil = #ly:lyric-hyphen::print
	\once \override Lyrics . LyricExtender #'dash-period = #2.5
	\once \override Lyrics . LyricExtender #'extra-offset = #'(2 . 0)

No string for pitch #

2009-11-17 Thread Jesús Guillermo Andrade
Currently, I am trying to set up a complete implementation of the  
venezuelan cuatro into lilypond.
So far, I've been able list most chord shapes, but I keep getting  
errors in the form of:


advertencia: No string for pitch # (given frets ())
advertencia: No string for pitch # (given frets ())
advertencia: No string for pitch # (given frets ())
advertencia: No string for pitch # (given frets ())

What does these mean? I have read many of the .scm source files and I  
still cannot understand.


Any ideas?


Guillermo

Sounds like Lilypond is running out of strings for the given chords.
Just a wild guess.
