  Subject: Barline at the beginning of a "piece"


  Hullo all. I am creating chant templates for the 8 tones, and need repeat 
barlines at the beginning of each section. I know how to acheive that in the 
gregorian.ly style, but how do I do this if I do not have that feature on? i.e. 
no gregorian.sty and cadenzaOn? Before, I would type: 

  \repeat volta 2 
{
music stuff
}


  with the following underneath global:

  global = {
\key f \major
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
%\override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = ##f
\set Score.defaultBarType = "empty"
\bar "|:"
  }

  But, do I still do this now? Thanks.

upgrade to 2.13.50 and LilyPondTool

[Gerard McConnell]

Hello,
sorry to bring this up, I know it's been asked before but I couldn't find
the info in the docs.
I want to try out the new version; my present setup is jEdit/LilyPond 2.12.
What do I need to
reset when I install 2.13.50?  Sorry about asking this, but I use LilyPond
every day and spending
several hours to figure out how to reset everything would be more stress
than is good for me right now :-|
Now that I've gotten used to the great printout being without it would be a
real pain!

You don't state what operating system you use but for Windows and Mac you can 
simply download the 2.13 release, rename your 2.12 dir to something different 
and then install 2.13.x as normal.

That will work for LilyPond generally. I do that all the time, but I don't use 
Jedit or LilyPondTool (just notepad or LilyPad - the default editor with Mac 
OS).

That way I can have multiple versions of LilyPond installed to test. I can only 
assume that the other tools will be ok because they will be looking for the 
default location which by renaming your 2.12 directory and installing 2.13 will 
place the 2.13 in the 'standard place' and so that might be all you need to do.

Re: alpha test, horizontal spacing

Hi Ralph

I think i have an idea how to explain this bug.
I suppose it happens because LilyPond is not aware that the dot 
is in

voiceTwo context (and therefore lower than usual).
compile this:

{ g'4.*1/32 d''!32 g'4.*1/32 e''!32 }
{ \voiceTwo g'4.*1/32 \voiceOne d''!32 \voiceTwo g'4.*1/32 
\voiceOne e''!32

}

In the upper line, the first accidental (on d'') is too low to 
move
left (it would collide with the dot). The second accidental (on 
e'')

is high enough to be moved over dot. Everything fine here.
Now in the second line the music is the same except that dotted 
notes
are in lower voice. This makes the dots move down, they are a 
whole
staffspace lower. However, Lily fails to notice that, and 
engraves the

naturals exactly like in the upper line.


What's the status of this? I cannot find an issue on the tracker. 
Did I miss

something?


A tracker entry should be made using the example and description
that Jan provided above.  I'd rate it low.

Well, I do not think the problem actually lies in the C++ code but in the way 
I tried to override bar-glyph-alist - when I change the code in 
scm/output-lib.scm, it does work... even with \bar ":||".

This solution works perfectly, thanks a lot! What I actually use is this code:

barCustom =
#(define-music-function (parser location one two) (string? string?)
#{
\once \override Score.BarLine #'break-visibility = #all-visible
\once \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = #(lambda(grob)
(if (not (= (ly:item-break-dir grob) RIGHT)) $one $two))
#})

and then e.g. \barCustom ":|" "||"

There is only one detail that need additional attention: It is not possbile to 
change the bar lines at the beginning of the first line with this method. I 
found the following workaround:

% start first line with repeat
\bar "|:"
% start first line with "thick" double lines
\bar ".|"
% start first line with "thin" double lines
\once \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = "||" \bar "|:"


Thanks again for finding a solution!

Variables syntax problem

[Matthias Hüsken]

Dear all,

I got another problem I am not able to solve. I change the title of the header 
so that the tempo is included, see attached file. This works nicely, but I 
have not been able to substitute the duration in the \note declaration by 
some variable, i.e. I'd like to be able to do something like

\myTempoNote = "4."

\note #\myTempoNote #UP

What is the correct syntax to pass \myTempoNote to \note?

Thanks

Matthias
\version "2.12.2"

myTitle = "Song Title"
myTempo = "120"
myTempoNote = "4"

\header
{
title = \markup
{
\override #'(style . cross) { \note #"4" #UP " = " \myTempo }
\hspace #7 \myTitle \hspace #7
\small { "written by some guy..." }
}
}

Isn't it \note #myTempoNote #UP

That works for me with 2.13.50. I don't have 2.12 installed.

Yes, it works like that. Somehow I knew it would be too easy for me... Thanks

Spacing in my chant template

[Michael Dykes]

Hullo all. I have resolved my earlier problem in my chant template that I am
working on; however, unlike Tone 1 (whose spacing looks full and even, Tone
2, in particular, looks "bunched-up"). What can I do to fix this? Attached
is my working example. Thanks.

Interaction with the score

[Jose H.]

HI all,

I am planning to develop an application to help musicians practice scales on
MIDI keyboards, but I can't find the proper documentation for drawing and
changing the score interactively.

Where should I look for the API to draw and change colors of notes while
interacting with the user's input ?

Thanks
