Lilypond score

[René PRUAL]

I have just unloaded lilypond and I did not succeed to transform the writed 
message in a musical score. May be I did not unload correctly?
I have too unloaded "eDit" whith "lilypond tool", whithout success.
Do I need an authorization?
Thank you for your response
René Prual

Sounds like less work in the long run to treat it like a code bug rather
than document this irregularity and field the storm of bug reports.

Any news on LilyPond 2.14 release date?

[Gerard McConnell]

I saw musicologyman's post about "double slurs
within beamed notes" and didn't quite have the
answer to his question, but realized  that the edit
he wants to perform is exactly the sort of thing that is 
simple to do when you use LilyPond's SVG output.  
Open the SVG file in Inkscape0.47 and edit absolutely 
anything in the score in any way you want.

Which brings me to my two questions -
1.  Is there any significant downside (print quality?)
to using Inkscape to edit LilyPond files? 
2. When is LilyPond 2.14 likely to be released?

  I've been struggling to replicate the placement of slurs and ties in the 
following original: 

   
  Problem is, I can't get the slurs and ties to appear _within_ the beamed 
note. They always appear above the beam if the stem is up and below if the stem 
is down: 

   
  I've tried all sorts of things: hidden notes shifted as appropriate in order 
to position the slurs and ties in the desired location, hidden notes within a 
context that has the Collision_engraver removed, and so on. I've even 
considered manually (and tediously!) setting the control points for each slur. 
But there must be a better way!

Actually I'm not a pianist, nor some kind of "LilyPond-genius", so my
answer was only based on my knowledge of LilyPond (little with
keyboard-related stuffs) and also based on your minimal code, which had
only one (zero) staff change...

Pardon my bloody stupid answer.

Indeed, looks like a bug.

I can't say when it is going to be released, but I know when it  
isn't. ^.^ If you go to http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?

You can see all of the currently open issues. Graham doesn't want to

Dynamics and Lyrics don't mix

[Roman Stawski]

Hi folks

When I build the snippet

-
\version "2.13.11"
\paper{ ragged-right = ##t }

<<
  \new Staff \new Voice = "a" \relative c'' { a b c d }
  \new Dynamics { s4\p s\< s\! s\mf }
  \new Lyrics { \lyricsto "a" \lyricmode { a b c d }}
>>
-

the output is as expected, but I get a whole cascade of warnings

warning: staff-affinities should only decrease

Can anyone translate this into English ? and/or tell me how to do to get
shot of them?

Inversing the dynamics and lyrics gets rid of the warnings. But doesn't
give me the output I want.


Thanks for any pointers

Roman

But wouldn't scores in a book use separate engraver instantiations and
have separate ambitus for that reason?

Uh, what's with the $defaultheader here?

What does that do?  Why per-parser?

What does this do?  Route the music expression through a parser with a
simple listener, then regurgitate it for the outer context?

> \new Staff \ambitus \relative c'' {
>   \key g \major

It would seem that this approach would not work when you want, say, an
ambitus per Voice, and the input is not continuous, but repeatedly
switches between contexts.

Then you don't have the whole music available as one music expression.

But frankly: I don't get half of what you are doing here, so I may well
be mistaken.

Vertical dashed line conecting notes

[Caio Barros]

Hi,
I'm writing a composition with two unmeasured staffs and I want to draw a
vertical dashed line that indicates when the notes sound together.
I've tried something like that:

\version "2.12.1"
\relative c' {
 <<
  { c_\markup { \draw-line #'(0 . 9)  } }
  { a }
 >>
}

but as you can see there are some problems:
- the line doesn't draw itself at the middle of the notehead
- the botton staff moves itself lower so the line does not colide. (I want
it do colide!)
- I don't know how to draw a dashed line with the \draw-line command ;)

Is there a way to tweak this, or maybe is better to use another code?

Thank you
Caio Barros

Dynamics and Lyrics don't mix

[Roman Stawski]

After some playing around, I found that the following gets rid of the
warnings. It does seem a little messy, though.

-
\version "2.13.11"
\paper{ ragged-right = ##t }

<<
  \new Staff \new Voice = "a" \relative c'' { a b c d }
  \new Dynamics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
  } { s4\p s\< s\! s\mf }
  \new Lyrics \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
  } { \lyricsto "a" \lyricmode { a b c d }}
>>
-

My only problem now is to increase the spacing between the dynamics and
the lyrics. Ah well, back to the VerticalAxisGroup documentation...

regards

Roman

Re: Vertical dashed line conecting notes

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi Caio Barros:

1. Try using grid lines:


2. Use cross-staff arpeggios, and modify the shape and offset. [See recent list 
threads for info.]

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Try using the tilde symbol for notes of same pitch - you definitely want 
ties there ;-)

Staff "reappearance" callback?

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi all,

Michael's question about instrument names got me wondering...

Is there an easy way to have a callback for any grob (e.g. TimeSignature) so 
that it knows whether or not its Staff context was alive in the previous 
system? If so, this would have lots of good uses, including Michael's two 
features:
1. Make the InstrumentName take the long name each time a Frenched staff 
reappears.
2. Make the TimeSignature appear each time a Frenched staff reappears.

Thanks,
Kieren.

Agree.  ;-D

And if you are a beginner with LilyPond you may also be interested by

You might find some ideas in the Notation Reference section 1.2.1 under
Ties. There is a snippet at the end which shows the use of the
tie-configuratoin property of TieColumn. Essentially, it allows you to
place your ties explicitly.
