When was vspace introduced?
I have been using latest stable (2.12.3) because that's what comes with Ubuntu. Everything's fine, except it doesn't appear to recognize vspace (I get compile errors). I installed 2.13.31 which does recognize vspace, but now I am having problems with placement of all my other objects (everything seems more cramped).

You'll probably also need \bar "" to permit line breaks.

That's the purpose of \RemoveEmptyStaffContext (isn't the right name

Hi all,
Since were on the topic of IMSLP, I just put up a piece for String
Orchestra. The lilypond output is of topic is the Complete Full Score->
http://imslp.org/wiki/Running_with_Mr._Chakmakjian_%28Bakalian,_Craig%29
On page 47 of the score, for some reason, the bass staff stretches down
to the depths of the page. This page is unlike any other page in the
output. I did use:
\new Score \with { \override VerticalAlignment #'max-stretch =
#ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch }
I did print a hard copy for a local group. The bass staff gets clipped
off on page 47.
So, does anyone know why page 47 of my score is beyond max-stretch?

That's the purpose of \RemoveEmptyStaffContext (isn't the right name

AFAICS, for \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to work, you have to use
MultiMeasureRests. Do these work together with cadenzas? The last time
I checked (just two minor versions ago) I ran into trouble, both with
score timing and the alignment of the MMR grob in the "measure"/cadenza.
Is there something like a "FullCadenzaRest", centered in a cadenza, and
possibly split if the cadenza is broken into several lines? If no,
please consider this as a possible enhancement request... ;-)
In the meantime, if \cadenzaOn causes you trouble, try the following:
Use \time 4/4 with \layout { \context { \Staff \remove
Time_signature_engraver } } or \layout { \context { \Staff \override
TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f } }, without \cadenzaOn, and use
\scaleDurations to fit the music of each "measure" into 4/4:
{ c'4 c4 c2 c8 c2 } (of length 13/8) will be one "measure" with
\scaleDurations #'(8 . 13) { c'4 c4 c2 c8 c2 }.

Since the error is with the midi engine, you need to add a

Question about JEdit/LilyPondTool on Mac
I have been struggling with what looks like a real simple problem. That I can't find the answer is possibly due to my being relatively new with Macs. At any rate, below I copy a note I sent to the LilyPondTool list. If anybody on this list has the answer, I'd love to hear it. Seth Williamson OK, I am having the most basic problem imaginable with getting LilyPond and LilyPond Tool to work together with JEdit on my MacBook Pro. When I go to Process/View and choose Run LilyPond, I get a variety of errors. I think they come down to not getting the path and/or start command correct. So far as I can tell, I've got LilyPond 2.app installed under Applications. I can see it there with Finder. Under PlugIn Options, I have tried about every combination of path and "LilyPond command" to get the program started, and I get an error message every time. Can somebody tell me what the path is supposed to look like? Please spell it out precisely if you don't mind, because obviously I'm not smart enough to figure this out myself. Also, should there be something under LilyPond command to start the program, and if so, what is it exactly? I would really like to get past this initial problem so I can start using the LilyPond/JEdit/LilyPondTool combination, but I am hosed up at this one spot and really frustrated.

Hi!
Your code produces errors because you have inserted the \header block
within the \score block (music expression should come first).
Please move \header away (before you \score block).
Therefore (and I don't know why) LilyPond is complaining but is still
producing a PDF (and only a PDF).
Move your \header block outside (before) your \score block and then
the MIDI (and only the MIDI) file is produced. To produce both MIDI

Before I clobber my LilyPond V-2.10...
Is LilyPond 2.12.2-1 (for Debian "squeeze") likely to work on Debian
"Lenny"?

I need to have some staves disappear when they only have rests in them,
and then reappear later when they begin to have music again.
That's the purpose of \RemoveEmptyStaffContext (isn't the right name
\RemoveEmptyStaves now?).
AFAICS, for \RemoveEmptyStaffContext to work, you have to use
MultiMeasureRests. Do these work together with cadenzas? The last time
I checked (just two minor versions ago) I ran into trouble, both with
score timing and the alignment of the MMR grob in the "measure"/cadenza.
Is there something like a "FullCadenzaRest", centered in a cadenza, and
possibly split if the cadenza is broken into several lines? If no,
please consider this as a possible enhancement request... ;-)
In the meantime, if \cadenzaOn causes you trouble, try the following:
Use \time 4/4 with \layout { \context { \Staff \remove
Time_signature_engraver } } or \layout { \context { \Staff \override
TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f } }, without \cadenzaOn, and use
\scaleDurations to fit the music of each "measure" into 4/4:
{ c'4 c4 c2 c8 c2 } (of length 13/8) will be one "measure" with
\scaleDurations #'(8 . 13) { c'4 c4 c2 c8 c2 }.

You can also instantly start using 2.12.3 or even the unstable development version 2.13.32 (both from the lilypond.org website, not from the package archives). Although it's not the official policy, I recommend to get the latter, since the vertical spacing engine has been completely rewritten (mostly by Joe Neeman) for the 2.13.x series. It yields far better results now, and it is what you can expect to see in the future stable versions. If you switch now, you have more chances to keep your input files mostly unchanged with the upcoming releases.

Re: List-email Suggestion
* Graham Percival [2010-09-06 11:33]: We're not going to change anything, and I don't know why people keep on talking about changing the mailing list. They do it because the vast majority of mailing lists to which they subscribe follow what have become the de facto accepted mailing list standards; those have become the de facto standards because they work better than the published standards, for most people most of the time. I would venture to guess that they perceive the attitude of this list's administrators as resembling that of the mythical Japanese soldiers who were said to be found bravely fighting on after the war was over. I really only see two requests for change, which pop up again and again; those are of course the two recently discussed - making the list the default reply-to address, and prefixing the subject line. -- David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Equivalent to 'Gap before Bar'
Hello, One element that I use quite often in Sibelius is 'Gap before Bar', which, unsurprisingly, places a gap before the bar you've selected. It's wonderful for writing books and examples where you want to have two columns of equally spaced single measures. What's the easiest way to do this in Lilypond? I know that I can just do a blank measure between the two measures I'd like to use, but I was wondering if Lilypond has an equivalent property for creating a user-defined space between measures. I've looked in the documentation, but didn't easily find the answer. Thanks, Marc ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Confusion about beaming
Hello,
I was wondering about why the decision was made in the input syntax parser to
view beaming groups as follows:
}
\relative {
c8 d [e f g a b c]
}
The above snippet beams from the d through to the final c. At first glance, it
would appear that the brackets are encasing the e through c, and those notes
would end up beamed together, but, alas, this is not the case.
This is one of those things that I can happily learn, but it takes a pause to
get it right. Can someone comment on the history of this? I am simply curious.
Thanks,
Marc

LilyPond used to do treat brackets (for beaming) and parentheses (for
slurs and grouping) as grouping operators. It was decided at one
point to change as much of the syntax as possible to be postfix -- so
`[' isn't a grouping symbol outside the start of a group, but a
`start-beam' operator attached to the note it follows. Likewise (
isn't a grouping symbol but a 'start-slur' operator attached to the
note it follows. If these symbols are treated as paired grouping operators,
it's difficult to handle nesting properly --- beams, slurs and phrase
marks are all independent groups.
This leaves { and } the only real grouping symbols, and they have to
nest strictly. But slurs, phrasemarks and beams can span groups, and
each other.
