Re: Soundfonts
Thanks Brett, I just want a good music notation, with the midi sound as feedback if my notation was correct. With your info I decided to use a different note for the mute version. That is the only practical thing to do. Thanks very much to make it clear to me. With regards, Bernard Quoting Brett McCoy : On Wed, Aug 18, 2010 at 3:10 PM, wrote: I have a similar question. I have a "bass" and a "mute bass", which is just slightly different sound. I would like to use the same "bass" notation, with a additional accent which can be played as a different sound in the Midi file. Is that possible in Lilypond? If so how to do this? Normally that kind of thing is handled by either program changes (in the MIDI) or putting the different articulations on separate tracks (which is really something you'd do in a DAW rather than trying to do it with scoring software). A lot of samplers handle this kind of thing with 'key switching' also... but don't think you can do it in Lilypond. -- Brett W.

glissando without starting note
Thanks Again James! But I'm sorry to tell you that it doesn't work :(
'cause having a previous note attached to the glissando, even if the note is
hidden, make changes to the time in the bar.
If timing is the only problem you can use something akin to this fucntion I've
been using to make things at least a little more readable in the main score:
preGliss = #(
define-music-function (parser location glissMusic startPoint units)
(ly:music? number? number?) #{
\once \override NoteHead #'X-extent = #'(1 . 1)
\hideNotes $glissMusic \unHideNotes
\set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment $startPoint $units)
#}
)
Used e.g. like this:
r8 \preGliss { g'4 \glissando } #1 #8
d'4--\mf c8 bes f \triplet { \stemDown f,8 ees' f, \stemNeutral } \bar
"||"
I have not found a way to avoid having the "\glissando" in the music.
What this does is to start the glissando at the g indicated in the music (I
used to have g32, but in 2.12.3 that doesn't show a gliss, and for g8 the gliss
is too short) and ends it at the following d. The #1 #8 means that the music
after the gliss should start 1/8 into the bar.
If someone knows a way to improve on this function I'd be happy.
Rgds,
Mats

Moving objects like rehearsal mark or metronome mark
Here is a picture in which metronome mark is moved above rehearsal mark. Lilypond is clever enough to avoid crashes, but not wise enough to normally layout object horizontally.

Re: Moving objects like rehearsal mark or metronome mark
If you're using 2.12.3, what you want is \once \override Score.MetronomeMark '#X-offset = #1 but with the number at the end adjusted to whatever value produces the desired layout. I don't know about the syntax for the 2.13 series.

That's typically what I was asking for in my comment here: http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=684#c16 It seems the PATCH for #684 handles well placement of MetronomeMark when used simultaneously with RehearsalMark (AFAICS, based on Jan's example png). I hope this PATCH will be pushed soon, so we will be able to check this in next LilyPond version.

Use \musicMap to scale the notes:
#(define (scale-notes music)
(if (music-is-of-type? music 'rhythmic-event)
(let* ((len (ly:music-length music))
;; set default duration for notes
(base-mom (ly:make-moment 1 4))

(ly:music-compress music scale)))

\new Staff \musicMap #scale-notes \relative c' {

Re: Different Raster Size for every page
* Nils Gey [2010-08-20 18:28]: Sorry for the confusion. What I really mean is a simple question: I want page 1/2 size 16 and page 2/2 size 18 because its the last page and has fewer notes. Note: Not really "I" but "he" or "someone". For me aestethics would prevent such a thing, but maybe there really is a case where this is needed to express the music. In a situation like that, I would adjust the size of the whole score to whatever single value makes a satisfactory result. Changing the note sizes on one page is disturbing and funny-looking. Other solutions better than "someone's" suggestion: adjusting vertical spacing or adding/changing line breaks. -- Thanks David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: glissando without starting note
Thanks Kieren!
These works much better than the glissando. I have never used the Bend's,
but it really works nice and seams more real to the effect produced when
playing.
I'm an argentina tango player and in tango the glissando without an inicial
note its really common. And we always have call it glissando but probably
its not really that.
Thanks LilyUsers and Helpers!

[Lyrics] Problem: Automatic syllable duration is turning a quarter note syllable into half note syllable
Version: GNU LilyPond 2.12.3 Setup: - notes of the melody contained in 'voices.ly' - lyrics for first verse contained in 'lyrics.ly'. This will hold all the different lyrics Problem: In measure 9 of the piece the syllable 'sur' of the word 'survey' is taking up take up a two beats of time (4/4 tempo) instead of a quarter note. Steps taken: - Reduced problem two just the global.ly (header info), voices.ly and lyrics.ly - Created makefile for building the project. Question: Q1. What is the recommended why to debug lilypond projects? When I used that it did not provide me anymore information as to why the automatic syllable duration was making 'sur' into two beats.

Re: [Lyrics] Problem: Automatic syllable duration is turning a quarter note syllable into half note syllable
Op zaterdag 21 augustus 2010 schreef storri: > as to why the automatic > syllable duration was making 'sur' into two beats. it's because of the ties. when you do fis4 r4 e4~ ( fis8 g8 ) you are starting both a tie and a slur from the note e. just remove the tilde, as what you want is a slur. The tie causes the lyrics engine to wait for another note. So make it: fis4 r4 e4( fis8 g8) General rule: use a tie to connect two notes of the same pitch; use a slur to connect a group of notes that can have different pitches. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- Frescobaldi, LilyPond editor for KDE: http://www.frescobaldi.org/ Nederlands LilyPond forum: http://www.lilypondforum.nl/ ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm not sure if that and I don't know how to "manually adjust the key signature of the scale." What must I do to keep the written score as it is and have the midi file sound 1/2 tone lower?
