LSR search results are "shifted" (was: LSR: inconsistent search results)
Hi Sebastiano! Sorry to disturb you, especially in this "holiday" season. I complained a month ago on lilypond-user about the LSR search engine that gives really *inconsistent* results. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2010-07/msg00139.html I did not get an answer but since I have made some tests and I have further information that might help in identifying (and thus solving) the problem. Actually I noticed yesterday that the real problem is that results given by LSR search engine are *SHIFTED*. Let's explain it better with a concrete example. If I search the words "merging rests", I got as first result snippet 337: Controlling tuplet bracket visibility (which is not at all related to "merging rests"), BUT if I take the *previous* snippet, i.e. snippet 336, I got "Merging rests automatically...", which is, as you see, the correct result of what I was looking for. Same for second result: #469 -> #468 . Hence my hypothesis: search results are "shifted" (correct number + 1). This is exactly the same for "RehearsalMark" and every searched terms, IMO. Could somebody have a look at this and, if possible, solve this? It would be really appreciated. Many thanks!

Hi,
I write some Violin pieces and would like to implement a function to typeset
a commonly used fingering with the shift indicator (simply a "-" before the
finger number).
Ideally I'd like to have the following syntax: {f \shift a-1} where the
\shift command would add a dash and offset the finger number to be aligned
with the note. Or it could be {f a\shift-1}.
I implemented the following function but it does not behave as expected and
generate side effects.
%% Shift Finger
%% Print a finger number preceded by a "-" to indicate a shift
%% Usage: ex: f \shift a-1
%% Passing a string as i had error with passing an integer
sf = #(define-music-function (parser location finger) ( string? ) #{

#})

Why not use a modified glissando:
\version "2.13.28"
guide = #(define-music-function (parser location padleft padright shift)
(number? number? pair?) #{
\once \override Glissando #'bound-details #'left #'padding = #$padleft

\once \override Glissando #'extra-offset = #$shift

\relative c'' {
\override Fingering #'staff-padding = #'()
\guide #2 #1 #'(0 . 1.4) 2\glissando

Just chords

I have seached for a solution without any luck. I hope some one could help me.

Re: Function to add a "-" before finger number
Thanks for the suggestion Nick. But it is important that it does not look like a glissando because a glissando is an audible transition between 2 notes while I am trying to indicate a silent shift. Per the look also, a glissando looks like : "note1 - note2" and a shift looks like "note1 -note2" where "-" must be an horizontal dash. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Function-to-add-a-%22-%22-before-finger-number-tp29331036p29335481.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

Hi!
To achieve exactly what you want a combination of
– no indent (indent = #0) ;
– proportional notation (each measure takes the same horizontal
space) ;
– strict-note-spacing (because previous was not sufficient) AND
– ragged-right = ##t (because your 4th line has one measure more and
you want bar lines to be aligned)
seems necessary.
Like this:
\version "2.12.3"
\paper {
indent = #0
ragged-right = ##t
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
\override SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing = ##t
}
}
\score {
\new ChordNames \with {
\consists Bar_engraver
\override BarLine #'bar-size = #4
\consists "Volta_engraver"
}
{
\chordmode {
g1 d2:7 c2 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
g1 e1:m g1 e1:m \break
b1:m c1 c1 a1 a1 \break
g1 c2 d2:7 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
g1 c2 d2:7 g1 c2 d2:7 \break
}
}
}

Yep not exactly but could be a workaround. I'd like to replace the short "-"
by a middle one like with the character \char ##x2012. I tried this
shiftIV=\markup \finger "\char ##x2012 4"
but that printed the command and not the character.
Any idea how to make the function more generic? I tried
sf = #(define-music-function (parser location finger) ( integer? ) #{
\mark \markup { \tiny \concat {\char ##x2012 $finger }}
#})
{c''4^\sf#3 d''4^\sf#4}
but it failed.

Re: Function to add a "-" before finger number
great i added the \finger command to use the same font as the regular
fingering.
shiftII = \markup \finger \concat {\char ##x2012 2}
Now the dash moves the number way too far on the right. I tried to move it
back to the left by adding an override but i got an error
shiftIII = \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'(-1 . 0) \markup
\finger \concat {\char ##x2012 3}

A glissando goes from note to note. A line from finger to finger, is fingering, and good for a slide or silent slide/guide, or simply to indicate the retention of a finger. The real problem with lines from finger to finger is that they look like crap. The 1- and -1 or 1- or -1 are all much better looking, clearer, better in every way.

Re: Function to add a "-" before finger number
you can left, center, or right align the markup. I'm pretty sure that the
default is to center-align it.

You probably want to center align it over the number, right? That's a bit more
complex.

The latter syntax is easier to implement (and more in keeping with
LilyPond's postfix convention):
shift =
#(define-music-function (parser location fingering) (ly:music?)
(let ((music (make-music 'FingeringEvent))
(finger (ly:music-property fingering 'digit)))
(set! (ly:music-property music 'tweaks)

(grob-interpret-markup grob
(make-concat-markup

(number->string finger)
(ly:music-property music 'tweaks)))
music))
\relative c' {
% must use hyphen before \shift

The function I provided in my example allows the glissando to be arbitrarily shortened away from the first note to any extent that you want...

I wrote three parts of a song separately because they were becoming a little

something wrong. It only includes the last file and uncommenting it only
includes the 2nd file and so on. Is it possible to include all three in

Is it possible to synchronize page breaks on facing pages of piano
duet music with primo on the right-hand side and secondo on the
left-hand side?
...
It might seem obvious, but of course the two scores must contain
compatible music.
Does this mean that both sides must have the same amount of music?
While this is conceptually self-evident it is easy to write input
files that don't comply to it.
So, how would we expect LilyPond to deal with this situation?
* Should it just try to make the best of the input and spit out
errors if it doesn't work out?
I can imagine a duet where one of the players "falls asleep" and the
other continues playing for a while. I guess in such a case it would be
possible either to have the first player's part stop, or just fill it up
with rests...
Well, I think, in this case, one would generally just use
MultiMeasureRests - or did I miss something?
* Or should LilyPond make checks before trying to typeset the music?
* Should there be the possibility to manually insert checks of some
kind, similar to bar checks and barnumber checks?
What could they be like?
I don't regularly typeset music without bar lines, but doesn't Lilypond
already have facilities for synchronizing two players' parts in one
score? Probably those can be re-used - as much as possible anyway.
AFAIK LilyPond has a notion of a point in time - which is also used in
polymetric notation.
So from the perspective of keeping track of the music such a duet score
could be implemented very similar to a normal score with two
(potentially independent) staff groups.
I think in the majority of cases having the two parts follow each
other's bar checks, and give an error when that fails, should be
sufficient.
I don't think so.
Bar checks may be inserted in any voice of any staff at any time. It
will fail if in the actual context there is no barline. If the
voices/staves have different meters, times etc. the bar checks will be
independent. This doesn't have to be changed for a duet score.
Would some new kind of "sync point" be needed, or does Lilypond
already have such a thing for use in \cadenza sections and so on?
I think, everything needed is already there.
Now, while writing all this, I realize that from the perspective of the
music the two scores are in fact one score. The only thing that has to
be changed is the layout.
Therefore I would suggest the "scores" to be rather something at the
level of a StaffGroup. I'll refine (and redefine) my example syntax from
my previous email:
\score {
<<
\new LeftScore<<
\new PianoStaff = "secondo"<<
\new Staff = "upSecondo" {
% ...
}
\new Staff = "loSecondo" {
% ...
}
>>
>>
\new RightScore<<
\new PianoStaff = "primo"<<
\new Staff = "upPrimo" {
% ...
}
\new Staff = "loPrimo" {
% ...
}
>>
>>
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
Everything that has to do with the organisation of the content, of the
musical structure can just be done as usual.
If I want to get a normal score with both instruments, I just could
replace the two new Contexts with \new StaffGroup.
What LilyPond would have to do in addition to its normal work is (only):
- individually determine and keep track of possible break points for
both parts
- find a breaking solution that works well for both parts.
- correctly deal with odd and even page numbers.
* In classical four hand music, both players have the same amount of
bars in the same \time
But of course this is no requirement for four hand music. Any
constellation of polyrhythmic, -metric, -timing music that can be
produced with LilyPond can be also used in four hand music.
* So I think LilyPond should just try to find synchronous possible
page breaking points and don't care about things like barnumbers
etc.
At least in those cases where the music is sufficiently simple and/or
regular, corresponding pages should have the same number of lines, and
corresponding lines the same number of bars. These requirements should
only be broken when they will make the score bad for some other reason.
(And then they should be followed anyway IMO.)
Well, this is yet another question.
It is generally a subject of discussion (or a matter of taste) whether a
piano duet score should always have identical line breaking on both sides.
While identical page breaking is a practical necessity, the line
breaking is more of an editor's choice.
So, if identical line breaking should be implemented at all it should
absolutely be an option - although it could be argued whether it should
be turned on or off by default.

Lilypond Architectural Overview Request
I have been reviewing the online manuals and am having trouble finding documentation that describes the overall architecture of the Lilypond system. I am primarily talking about the interaction of .ly and .scm files (how they are parsed by the C++ code would be welcome too). When I look at the Internals Reference, for example, it looks like it would be very useful for someone who was already familiar with the call sequences and class structure and the overall operation of lilypond. But I haven't found something which explains how everything actually ties together. For example, the contents of the types list for an AbsoluteDynamicEvent are '(general-music event dynamic-event absolute-dynamic-event). This looks almost like a class event hierarchy of said event. But I could not find what general-music meant (I searched the pdf files) or how each element in the list relates to each other. Elsewhere I found the general-music term at the end of a types list. I checked the bnf but that just specifies syntax. Of course this is just one of many mysteries I would like to understand.

Yes, these are some "tricks" you learn while reading other people code. Of course it can (usually) be found in the manuel but there is no "dedicated section" to explain these "tricks".
