Changing conducting signs
Hello, I would like to know if somebody knows how conductng signs ( http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=259 http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=259 ) are created by Lilypond. In a lot of books (Kurt Stone for instance) I noticed that beats divided by 3 are noted by a full triangle, no a "two-parts" triangle like Lilypond does. So, perhaps is there a way to tweak these shapes, but I don't know how (and even where to look for). Thanks, Philippe -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Changing-conducting-signs-tp28899893p28899893.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
Re: multi-tempi
Maybe my question was't clear enough but I am not looking for a
polymetric notation but a notation for different tempi, I want to
remain the original parts in their original meter and tempo. I only
want to adjust the graphical spacing to have a visual indication of
the (unexisting) overall timing (a kind of underlying visual time grid).
(see further)

Lilypond is the right tool to solve my problems.
1. Is it possible to create a score with a fixed number of seconds
(not bars)
per system?
I would do this myself. i.e., in 4/4, with a tempo of 4=60, and
arbitrarily decide 16 seconds per system means s1*4\break
If the original is in tempo 74 and in 3/4 and I want to have 16
seconds per system, the break should be be after 19.75 beats. Is this
possible without rewriting the original score to 4/4?
2. Is it possible to create a score with different parts/voices
that each have a
different tempo? for example a score with a first part in tempo 56
bpm, a second
in 64 bpm and a third in 92 bpm?
I would do this by calculating the tempo, i.e., 8=128 (8/8) / 4=92
(4/4) and simply applying the principles in section 1.2.3 of the
Notation Reference, under Polymetric notation.
Same remark now: suppose that the first part of the multi-tempo is in
tempo 56 in 3/4. Is it possible to write everything on top of a
'hidden' time grid of tempo = 60, meaning that the visual length of a
measure of part A would equal 3.21 quarter notes in tempo 60 but
would be notated in meter 3/4 (3 quarter notes would fill the measure).
I had a look at the section about polymetric notation in the Notation
Reference, I guess I need a combination of the scaleDurations command
( "Staves with different time signatures, equal measure lengths" )
and moving the Timing_translator to each staff ("Staves with
different time signatures, unequal bar lengths" ) . Is this possible?
Did anyone try this?

Hi, Kieren,
it's the right track, thanks a lot.
\paper { bottom-system-spacing = #'((minimum-distance . 2) (padding .
-10)) }
is the candidate. Looks like I have to set #'padding to a negative value
to tell LilyPond to ignore vertical extents up to this value below the
last staff line; -inf.0 is, while technicially the best guess, not quite
useful, since any footer will print into the staff lines then (and this
can't be helped with \vspace, e.g.). A finite negative value is okay;
the collision with the footer can then be dealt with using \vspace and
an appropriate (read: trial-and-error) offset.
It's a pity, though, that bottom-system-spacing relates to the top of
the bottom margin instead of the top of the footer + foot-separation...
That'd both allow -inf.0 for padding, and make finding the correct
\vspace value in the footer far easier. (For some reason, the latter is
not quite what I'd expect, e.g. for padding = -100 I need \vspace #31.5
to get a nice result for a two-line footer?!)

Hi!
You can no longer use a chord construct if the rhythm is different.
You need to use a polyphonic construction, with Voices :

Unfortunately, there is no simple scheme interface for tweaking these shapes. These shapes are all created in C++ code. If you want to try tweaking these shapes, you'll need to write a scheme routine that can be used as a 'stencil for the MeasureGrouping grob: \override MeasureGrouping #'stencil = #my-new-stencil Long-term, it would probably be better to move this stencil creation code to Scheme, so that it could be overriden more easily.

Hi Eluze,
Thanks, that gives a visible glissando, but unfortunately distances the
grace note too much. If glissando minimum-length is set to anything less
than 3, it disappears!
I've found the problem is padding on either side of glissando. Using...
\once \override Glissando #'bound-details = #'((right (padding . 0)) (left
(padding . 0)))
removes any padding.
The following solution (thanks to your ideas) gives me an acceptable
solution, including moving the glissando below the grace and main note...
\once \override Slur #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Glissando #'bound-details = #'((right (padding . 0)) (left
(padding . 0)))
\once \override Glissando #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -1)
\acciaccatura a8\glissando d4
I would have thought grace notes with glissando instead of slur would have
been an available user option, as they are quite common in guitar music.
Cheers.
Phil.

hi Phil!
i don't agree fully, but of course you have to judge from your final
context!
the following solution with a minimum-length = #2 looks quite acceptable to
me:
{
% \override Glissando #'gap = #5% NO EFECT!?
\override Glissando #'minimum-length = #2.0
\override Glissando #'springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods
\override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #.6
\override Glissando #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #.9
\override Stem #'stroke-style = #"grace"
\grace a8 \glissando d4
}

the slur really makes sense and cannot simply be replaced by a straight line
- think of a grace/acciaccatura/appoggiatura with more than one note!
you should also have a look at (older) editions of pieces trying to show a
glissando from a grace to a normal note head… ( and not only that) -
sometimes you think there is a staccato dot somewhere, other times you think
there is a spot on the paper and further on
with lilypond you can do it - it is up to you to define what you prefer!
hope you'll find the good solution for your score!

seeking more Bug Squad members
I'm looking for volunteers to join the Bug Squad. The workload is 15 minutes per week. We currently have 3 victims. That means that the response time for bugs could be around 100 hours. I'd like it to be 24 hours, since that's a nice round number. Much rounder than 100. To reach the goal of "a response within 24 hours", we'd need another 4 volunteers. Of course, this is assuming that Bug Squad members never go on holiday, never get busy, etc. So I'd like to get more than 4 additional volunteers... a total of 14 would be nice. Then we could have two people doing 15 minutes each day. As a result, people could take breaks easily, and the overall workload would probably drop to 5-10 minutes each week. Maybe even less. If you want an overview of what you'd be doing, read about it here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/bug-squad-checklists If you're interested, please let me know which day(s) you would be available to spend your 15 minutes on. I'd like to make up a schedule with (at least) one person for each day of the week. No, we're not going to fuss about time zones. Two "serious" notes: - I really do mean 15 minutes a week, although I admit that there would probably be a total of 60 minutes of reading + training to get you accustomed to the work. - please only volunteer if you really think you can commit to the 15 minutes per week. I don't want to make up a beautiful schedule and then have people dropping out after a month.

show-break-places, a fantasy
Hello, Here's another serious problem (only with blind). Sighted people can check whether the page turn is disturbing the flowing music and troubling the players, but for me, I have to ask an assistant for help, since Lilypond can't export Musicxml, or Musescore can't open Lilypond file. Furthermore, if I'm asking an orchestra to play from a middle position other than rehearsal mark, they will search bor bar numbers, because I can't tell them which page and which system to begin. Then I'm thinking of an option for accessibility, thus writing out number of the bar at the beginning of every line as a line, then giving a new line for a new page. For example: #(ly:set-option show-break-places) Then in log file: drawing systems: (becauie I think the result only comes after generating graphics) [1][5][10][16][19][24] [28][34][41][45][50][60] ...

Indeed; there's almost no relationship between the amount of work required and the amount of money being offered. Until last year, I was member in the TeX users group and Dante (the german TeX users group), and while I am not sure whether the number of TeX and lilypond users are comparable (of course they are, in strict mathematical sense :-), there was a predictable flow of money due to the member fees. Dante, for example, hired a professional programmer for recoding TeX in Java, a project called NTS, and I think this was worth $5000+. Fulfilling the prejudice concerning Germans and associations (I wouldn't surely be the ideal person for founding a lilypond users group), I am willing to spend a fee, say $50 a year, for supporting the lilypond development. If there are 99 people more (and I think there are a lot more!), we would have $5000 to pay someone for improving lilypond. The major drawback I see is that a organisation has ... err, to be organized somehow. There's some overhead due to the maintenance of the members, and all members want to be informed about the latest news, hence we need something like the Lilypond Report being printed in regular intervals ... but on the other hand, perhaps this is not a drawback at all, because an active organisation is attended more by the public, thus more people see that there is a free alternative to all the widely accepted notation programs, more members are acquired, and so on. I don't know if a discussion like this has been taken yet, and (probably being not too Germanic :-) I am not very fond of this organisation stuff at all in general, but I am sure there are people which cannot work as developers but have the ability to manage stuff ...
