Re: Triple b or # - do they exist?
It is quite clear that Alkan is far less well known than Grieg. And probably not without reason. But Alkan did write a lot of music. For example a lot of technically very demanding piano music. And among all that music there are without doubt at least some pieces worth publishing, playing, and/or listening to. It is always nice to discover nice music I did not hear before. It does not make those well-known masterpieces by Grieg (and others) disappear. SO what's the problem ? -- Martin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: passing a duration expression the \tempo function

Sort of...
\version "2.13.36"
baseTempo = 50
myTempo =
#(define-music-function (parser location dur count) (ly:music? integer?)
;; `tempo' is the syntax constructor (defined in
scm/ly-syntax-constructors.scm)
;; used by the parser when parsing \tempo [text] dur = count
(tempo parser location #f
(ly:music-property
(car (extract-named-music dur 'SkipEvent)) 'duration)
count))
\relative c' {
\myTempo s4 #baseTempo
c1
\myTempo s4 #(* 2 baseTempo)
c1
}
You have to brew your own music function here since the parser expects
a bare number for the count (which can't be stored in an identifier).

Hello Phil,
oops, you're right. It was a "short hack" I did. In my first version, I
didn't use extra-offset ... with that you can move the lyrics without an
extent-modification. I will modify the snippet!
If you want to move the lyrics with Y-offset, you have to set Y-extent
less than zero *and* set self-alignment-Y for this to work - as
mentioned by Dmytro.

<<
\new Staff \new Voice = "voc" { \relative c' {
a b c d e f g a
} }
\new Lyrics \with {
\override LyricText #'self-alignment-Y = #0
\override LyricText #'Y-extent = #'(1 . -1)
\override LyricText #'Y-offset = #6
} \lyricsto "voc" {
a b c d e f g a
}

--snip--
So you don't need it with extra-offset but with Y-offset.
I will modify the snippet to show both versions. And I will be more
accurate in my future contribs!
Sorry for the noise!

No worries. Don't worry about updating the snippet - I'm already updating
it as part of approving it.

Use ly:item-break-dir to find out where the bar number is, then set
font-size based on its direction:
\version "2.13.36"
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
\relative c' {
\set Score.barNumberVisibility = #all-bar-numbers-visible
\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
\override Score.BarNumber #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(let ((break-dir (ly:item-break-dir grob)))
(set! (ly:grob-property grob 'font-size)
(if (= break-dir RIGHT)
-2
-4))
(ly:text-interface::print grob)))
\bar ""
c1 | c1 \break
c1 | c1
}

Help shifting entire tuplet horizontally within a measure
Hello,
Here is a snippet
\relative c' {
b8.^-
[ \times 2/10 { c64( d ees d e d c b a b] }
a8. a16 a32 a2)
}
I wonder if someone can help me find a way to shit the 10-tuplet over to the
'left' slightly, or move the group of tuplet-ed notes closer to the first and
leave the secpnd beamed group (and minim) where they are so that I have more
space in between and less of a gap between the very first and second note.
I don't really understand how the \override constructs work for the 'grob' (?)
and have been flailing around a bit in the Internals and the Appendix of the
Notation so I have tried things like sticking a \once \override...
Beam #'beamlet-default-length = #(x y)
or
Beam #beamlet-max-length-proportion = #(x y)
where x and y are numbers I am playing about with hoping to get something, but
while I don't get any complains while compiling I cannot seem to shift this
group over at all.
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried something like:
\relative c' {
b8.*1/4^-
[ \times 2/10 { c64*4( d ees d e d c b a b] }
a8. a16 a32 a2)
}

I'm surprised my email server let that one through. Sorry, I guess I had

Yes that does the trick, thank you. Although doesn't increase the space
(leave the next group of notes where they are) after the tuplet, but no
matter I can work with that.
What I don't understand is what the *1/4 and *4 are doing in this
context. Is this documented?

I personally wouldn't recommend this one -- you're literally changing the durations of the notes, merely to alter the placement of a grahical object.

Levelling sustain-pedal indications
In a piano page chock full of bracket-style pedalling for chords at widely different pitch levels, I've managed to align the horizontal pedalling lines vertically, via a zillion little paragraphs like \once \override Staff.PianoPedalBracket #'edge-height = #'(1 . 3.5) sustainOn ... sustainOff Trouble is that as a result, the vertical (On/Off) pedalling lines are all different lengths. Is there a way to tell LilyPond, "Keep this vertical *placement*, but don't print the ugly vertical-line *extensions* that caused it"? My current plan is to -- later when the dust settles -- white out the extensions in a PDF editor.

Unfortunately, it's quite a long way from here (well, as far as French standards go anyway). But I hope that some day I can see the source of your score :-) BTW: what's the license?

Aah. > Comments are welcome. :) Oh, your patch set hasn't apparently received any comments... For me, it looks fine, since the syntax stuff in parser.yy gets simplified, which is always a good thing. On the other hand, I'm not qualified enough to comment on the code itself. BTW, sometimes I would like to replace = 120 with $(Q"n(B 120 (this is U+2248, ALMOST EQUAL TO, two wavy lines) or = approx. 120 It would be nice if this is possible by setting a property to modify the stuff between the note and the tempo. Is this possible already? Otherwise, could you add this? Werner ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
