Re: Lilypond on iPhone
I'm close to finish a lilypond webservice that could be used on the internet or in the local network. I think that would be ideal for that as can be used from any browser.

I would love to be able to sit with my instrument and notate with the iPad on a stand or table. The first approach I'm going to try is with a RESTful web service backend app running on my desk computer. If I don't get the performance I want with that, I'll create a Cocoa server app with direct sockets. This seems like a very doable project and I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

IIRC, the iPhone developer license states that it does not allow any interpreters on the iPhone. That's how they keep flash off the iPhone, but also for example, a Commodore 64 emulator. And since, as we all know, you can do anything in lilypond, thanks to the guile interpreter, my guess is that a LilyPond iPhone App won't make it to the App Store. But it would be a nice challenge to get it working! Arjan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

three questions in one
Hello,
Here're three problems:
1. The recent devel versions can't work properly. Under XP, if I press enter
on the file attaached (and all other files), both 2.13.11 and 12 gives out
abort message, saying whatever RAM can't be "read".
2. When running 2.13.12, the warning before its abort tells me that
skip_event_swallow_translator is changed. But when I look up it in IR, I can't
get a clue. Also, when I look up the LM, the template only gives \new Dynamics
without any tweaking. Does it mean this context has been added to LP's built-in
functionality? I need to know it because there're some contexts I created as
this kind, e.g., one for tempo and rehearsal marks, and one for functional
chord indication markups.
3. \RemoveEmptyRhythmicStaffContext seems not available. I still use 2.13.7.
Was it added after it?

Lilypond to MusicXML (was: Re: New Sibelius to LilyPond conversion suite)
Everyone will agree having not only musicxml2ly but also a Lilypond to MusicXML converter would be cool. I remember a similar discussion some time ago in the Mup mailing list. The Mup developers from Arkkra Enterprises were saying it would probably be less work to add musicxml export as an extra output option inside mup, while a musicxml-to-mup converter would be easier to realize with a separate application. Could this also be true for Lilypond ? Would it be better/easier to have a --musicxml output option ( just like --png --ps and --pdf ) instead of a separate application that has to be written from scratch ? Maybe then the conversion can re-use some of the lilypond parsing code that is already available ? I'm not a programmer ( or at least not a very good one ;-) ) but wanted to post the suggestion anyway. Maybe someone will be inspired to make a start with this difficult task ... :-) -- Martin Tarenskeen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: The "Gigsaw": about polymetric
Philippe Hezaine a écrit :
Hi all,
i'm wondering if I can get rid of this issues:
1. The output is OK but I have many Avertissement : échec du contrôle de
mesure (barcheck) in the console because of the whole rests. Of course
the Gigsaw's process follows the same way. I read the answer of Mats
Bengtsson a few days ago about the same problem with polymetric bars.
But may be I'm missing something in the layout or the \score. If you
have time can you look at this file?
Sorry that isn't a minimal exemple. Deliberately the bar check are
commented. In this case it doesn't matter. In case I'm not wrong
wouldn't be an example for a feature request?
Wow! Here is a minimal example.
First i discovered that if I commented out all the block \midi I got rid
of these annoying messages. I was very astonished by this.
But I did need to get a midi file output!
Suddenly I have the idea to write different context inside the \midi
block. And voilà!
I hope all will be going right in the Gigsaw which isn't a tiny file.
It will take me a few time to test it.
Am I on the right way?

Re: "Long" fermata above two notes
You may try a trick, to put the fermatta between the two notes, using;
tweak #'extra-offset #'(-x . y)
and a markup for the glyph fermata
%%-
%%definition double fermata up & down
dlbupfermata = ^\markup { \huge \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" }
dldwnbfermata = _\markup { \huge \musicglyph #"scripts.dfermata" }
\relative c'
{ c re8 mi mi2-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . 1.2) \dlbupfermata
d4 d8 [ e~ e2]-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . -1.2) \dldwnbfermata
r4 d8 (e~ e2)-\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-1 . 1.2) \dlbupfermata
}
%%-
instead of \huge you may use \fontsize #5

Lyrics to single stave polyphony
Hi,
I've been struggling with this for some time now - and am relatively new to
Lilypond ... all help really appreciated.
I have a piece for boys and girls on 2 staves with piano accpt. Every so
often I wish e.g. the girls to divide into 2 parts and would like to keep on
the same stave:
...
a2~a4 fs8 fs |
\mark \default % [D]
% split into two here
<<
{ e2 ~ e4 s8 e8 |
fs g4 a8 ~ a4 s8 a16 a |
}
\\
{ e,2 ~ e4 r8 e8 |
fs8 e4 fs8 ~ fs4 r8 fs16 fs |
}
>>
...
This works fine.
I now need to add lyrics. All is OK until the split into 2 parts when no
lyrics are printed at all - though they get picked up by the music once the
split has been closed.
I have set the soprano voice in its own context:
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Girls"
midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
} { \sopranoVoice } % notes
\addlyrics { \verseOneSopranoVoice \verseTwoSopranoVoice } % lyrics
How do I get the lyrics to be displayed when the split happens?
Thanks very much for any guidance you might be able to provide, other
examples I have looked at just don't seem to quite fit.
Thanks
Simon

Re: Lyrics to single stave polyphony
Hi Simon, This issue has been discussed (and solved/explained) many times on the list. Please look for "explicitly instantiating voices" in the documentation, particularly the v2.13 docs.

Re: "Long" fermata above two notes
thanks for your help, I tried your trick, but it seams to only "blow up" the fermata mark.

Hi Simon,
This trips most new users up. The polyphony construct \\ creates two new
contexts named "1" and "2" - your lyrics are still being fed to your original
context at this time.
There's more than one way around it, but look at section 1.5.2 in the Notation
Reference, particularly at the heading "Temporary Polyphonic Passages."
I would definitely recommend getting into the habit of always naming your
contexts and using \lyricsto instead of \addlyrics for any non-trivial case.
Hope this helps.
David.

Solution for including a file only once
I *think* that I have the essential solution to include a file exactly
once, no matter how many times it is mentioned. That is, with the
following definition,
\includeIfAbsent "MyFile.ly"
should copy in MyFile.ly, just as though you had written
\include "MyFile.ly"
unless an inclusion (either through \include or through
\includeIfAbsent) has already started (and usually finished). If there
is a circular path of \includes, LilyPond appears to enter an infinite
loop, but \includeAbsent will break a cycle. That's why it's important
that I said "unless an inclusion ... has already *started*," rather than
"already happened."
The sweat here involved avoiding any preparatory code to enable the
mechanism. You need nothing more than the definition of includeIfAbsent.
I'm not sure how either \include or \includeIfAbsent behave inside a
context. It's probably not a good idea to use either one except at the
outermost level---inner stuff should usually be done with variables.
But, it would be cool if someone tested the possibility.
I will join the developer list, and introduce the idea there. I think
some such thing should probably be added as a standard function.
Notice that I let the file *calling* for inclusion control whether it
wants to allow multiple inclusions or not. Some systems, including the C
preprocessor, put a guard in the included file, disabling its inclusion
if it has already appeared. I think that I like this form (which
corresponds pretty well to "require" in some languages, but I've
forgotten which ones) better. I think that the guard within a file is
not hard to implement by a similar method.
There is a chance, very small I hope, that the string I used for a
file's guard could be introduced elsewhere, gumming things up. E.g., if
someone wants to have guards within the include files, as well as within
the including files, the names need to be different.
-
includeIfAbsent =
#(define-music-function (parser location fileName) (string?)
(let ((guardName (string-append "Already Got " fileName)))
(if (not (defined? (string->symbol guardName)))
(begin
(primitive-eval (list 'define (string->symbol guardName) #t))
#{ \include $fileName #}
)
#{ #}
)
)
)
Cheerio,
Mike O'Donnell

Re: Best practice when typesetting transposing instruments.
Thank you all for your replies. As you might know, I am working on a Sibelius to LilyPond translator; and one of the aims is to generate .ly sources that are as close as possible to what a human would have written. Hence my asking about the best practices. Gilles, Love your double \transpose trick! Very clever.

"Wedge" and "staccatissimo"
Hi LilyPond Gurus, This is probably a very trivial question. As you might know, I am working on a Sibelius to LilyPond translator. LilyPond has a staccatissimo articulation -| which on paper looks like a little wedge with a rounded top. Sibelius has two similar-looking articulations, called "wedge" and "staccatissimo". Now, the staccatissimo in LilyPond looks like the "wedge" in Sibelius, and staccatissimo in Sibelius looks like a wedge but with a top that is concave downward. Is there any difference between the two? Might I assume that both "wedge" and "staccatissimo" should be typeset as -| ? I think the Wikipedia article about staccatissimo has a musical example typeset with Sibelius: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staccatissimo (note the concave tops) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: "Long" fermata above two notes
Here's a stretched out fermata using PostScript:
\version "2.13.12"
\relative c' {
c c^\markup {
\postscript #"/Emmentaler-20 findfont 4 scalefont setfont 2.5 1
scale /scripts.ufermata glyphshow show"
}
}
Unfortunately, although Lilypond generates the ps file without error,
Ghostscript barfs when converting the ps to pdf, and although the
stretched fermata appears in the output, the notes don't. Also, the
result isn't very satisfactory because the dot in the centre of the
fermata has been stretched into an ellipse:

Re: "Long" fermata above two notes
Well, the fix to that one was easy - don't use both glyphshow and show
in the PostScript:
\version "2.13.12"
\relative c' {
c c^\markup {
\postscript #"/Emmentaler-20 findfont 4 scalefont setfont 2.5 1
scale /scripts.ufermata glyphshow"
}
