Re: intro; art song example or template?
Hi Ivan, Aside from reading the manuals -- especially the one called 'getting started', there is something else I think you'll find handy. I started with Lilypond way back in 2002 or '03 when the only way to use it was with the command line. Nowadays there are a number of editors and interfaces that make everything much easier. For example, jEdit with LilypondTool, which works on any system (I have it on Ubuntu, PC-BSD, and Windoze). Install jEdit (jedit.org), and when it is up and running, click on 'Plugins' and install LilypondTool. This will give you a powerful tool for editing your .ly files with automatic colouring and indentation for human-readable clarity, a toolbar for compiling your files and opening the .pdf and .midi files, an on-board Lilypond manual, and even a virtual keyboard for note entry. It also has a template builder, so all you would have to do, for example is tell jEdit that you want a song with Soprano and Guitar, and presto! it creates the file with all the right sections -- you merely enter the notes, dynamics and words, and you're off to the races! It will even give you the option of notating your guitar in either or both of regular staff and tablature. Hope this helps.

Re: Beyond bars, book by Elaine Gould
Hello Philippe, Bruys, Han-Wen and list, thanks to you, making me look at this book, I ordered it from amazon. (If someone is a good person and wants to order at his tiny local book-store ;-) Elaine Gould, "Behind Bars", faber music, ISBN 978-0-571-51456-4, Jan 2011) The book arrived, while I was at Frankfurt Musikmesse, but since yesterday I am reading every free minute. This post can't and won't be a complete review - well, look at Bruys and Han-Wens posts - but a "first look at"-recommendation. In this short time, it answered some specific questions of mine or gave advice, so to me it is usable as a handbook/reference and seems to be quite "complete". I ordered a (german) book on this topic, but that is not in stock right now - so this book fills this gap really good. This post is also a "thank you" for making me taking note of this book!

Re: Lute tablature
Thanks to those of you who have replied. I have been playing about with the various bits and pieces, and especially the snippet numbers to letters. That snippet places the letter ON the line, whereas English tablature places the letters BETWEEN the lines.

If you are repeating the bar then you are repeating the bar, I.e. play whatever it was supposed to be the first time, else it isn't a 'repeat' is it? If the intention was to play the repeated section in a different time sig than it was played before the it isn't a 'repeat' and should be written out in full without repeat bars. You could also put a new time sig after the end of the second bar but before the repeat as I'd expect a key sig change to be notated mid repeated section in the same way. it's also not uncommon to add text to the bottom of the staff - for instance many pieces I play have things like 'strings only on repeat' or 'tacet first repeat' etc. If it's still ambiguous the you have to ask yourself if it is better written out in full instead. Like you said it's only two bars. Clarity is more important than saving a few inches of paper.

The fact your path has Program files (x86) tells me this is a 64 bit system. I don't know where LP is installed in this case. Also we know the installer does not remove the path and I expect you have a few extra LP in your path. Open a prompt and type 'PATH'. So you maybe running into simply having two binaries installed. You can just manually remove the whole LP dir to the wastebasket and the see what running the cmd does. It should say command not found. I it doesn't the you know you have another floating about.

Ouch. When a developer as skilled and active as you says this, it really emphasizes the magnitude of the problem. Looking over the past few weeks, I don't think the problem is the programmers. They've been fixing bugs quickly; a few times they added regressions, but those are also fixed without a long delay. I think the biggest problem at the moment is communication between users and programmers. - some users are not following the guidelines: http://lilypond.org/bug-reports Bug reports should go to bug-lilypond, not the users list! If you think it's of general interest, then CC it to both lists. - the Bug Squad is still losing some issues. This is extremely unfortunate, and it will hopefully improve over the next few weeks. However, this is something that users can help with: if you have not heard back from a Bug Squad member within ** 48 hours ** then please assume that your bug report has been ** LOST ** and send the email again. It gives me no pleasure to make this announcement, and I really hope that things will improve. But for the forseeable future, please follow that policy. - users could help each other supply good bug reports. If a bug report has been rejected because it does not have a Tiny example: http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html then an experienced user could spend a few minutes creating such an example. This would be very appreciated by everybody involved, especially if the initial bug reporter is a bit uncertain about lilypond, has some difficulty with English, etc. It would be nice if the Bug Squad had sufficient resources to do this as well, but that unfortunately is not the case. Honestly, if we keep on going at the current rate, then I don't think we can get 2.14 out before June. But if a few users helped out the bug process by actively creating Tiny examples, and resending bug reports to bug-lilypond when they get lost, then I really think that we can get 2.14 out in May.

Installing custom font for Lilypond
Hello folks, Basically, I'm trying to create a library of Lilypond scores with some of my collaborators and I'd like to automate the process. I've installed Lilypond on my server and I've allowed each user to drop Lilypond source files via a Perl script. The script then calls Lilypond and voila, a PDF, PNG and MIDI all appear. However, much of the music we're working with is Russian Orthodox chant and so it is in Church Slavonic. Thus, I'm trying to install a custom font on the server to properly render the Slavonic characters. Within the Lilypond source, the user sets the desired font name. I've placed the font into the /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Font/ folder and then I've modified the Fontmap.GS file in /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Init/ folder. However, Lilypond still does not use the font. Is there something else I need to modify? Do I also need to place the font in the /usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/ folder? Thanks for any help! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
programming error: cannot align on self: empty element
The following minimal example generates the error "programming error:
cannot align on self: empty element" in the console log.
\version "2.13.58"
\relative c' {
\tempo 4 = 72
\override Score.MetronomeMark #'stencil = ##f
c4 c c c
}
Comment out either the \tempo indication or the override and the error
goes away. I use this combination of commands in the \score block quite
often if I want the midi output to play at a particular speed for
proofing, but I don't want a tempo indication to appear in the score.
Having the error appear in the log doesn't seem to affect either the
midi output or the printed score.

Dividing ties and adjusting ties in an arpeggiated chord
Hello again,
I'm sorry to have to make further enquiries, but I'm flailing around here.
It seems that I need to divide the arpeggiated chord into separate
parts, so I can apply tweaks to each part separately.
Sorry about the length of the following code. It is for only one
arpeggiated chord, and I haven't been able to apply the tweaks yet.
When I put all the parts in the one voice context, I can get the notes
to line up, hooray. But, Lilypond ignores my explicit request to
direct the tie on the note d (d'') up (/tieUp), even though a major
collision results.
Part 2 to follow!
Thanks,
bruys

Re: status of release (was: status of mutopia project)
Hello, I'm curious (and I'm using version 2.13), and I wondered if \partcombine is supposed to work with more than two parts. The documentation refers to combining "several" parts, but only shows examples with two parts. I was unsuccessful trying to use more than two parts (in my pathetic attempts to resolve the problem in my previous post). Thanks to all you people working on bug fixes - Lilypond is an impressive achievement. Regards, bruys P.S. As an aside, the Scheme function context-spec-music is referred to in the snippets, without giving any details of what it does exactly. I expected I would be able to find information in the internals manual, but it doesn't appear to be mentioned.

Re: Difficulty in jedit with LilyPondTools
Hello Michael, I know next to nothing about JEdit, except that it installed on my (Windows) system without any difficulty. No-one else has replied, so I thought I'd mention that a few more details are probably required before anyone can help. It would appear that JEdit is not finding a necessary file, which indicates that something might have gone wrong with installation, prerequisite files are missing or not on the path searched by JEdit. I would think that the operating system you are using, what instructions you followed to install the software, and at what stage you get the error would all be relevant. Perhaps it is something as simple as needing to configure JEdit to find your pdf reader or Lilypond: http://lilypondtool.blogspot.com/p/install-configure.html Regards, bruys On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 2:53 PM, Michael Dykes wrote: > I just started using JEdit and the LilypondTools provided as a plug-in for > that editor.
