Yes, it's a long way off.  I'm not intending to touch expressive
music performance at all in my PhD; rather, I'll make tools which
all humans to direct the computer's performance as easily as
possible.  (which may still not be very easy!)

The catch-phrase for this is "let machines do what machines are
good at; let humans do what humans are good at".  :)   Humans
aren't good at manually specifying physical parameters every 0.006
seconds, but they _are_ good at correcting the way that notes are
played (generally every 0.2 - 2.0 seconds, at least for monophonic
violin music).


As for other instruments: I'm hoping to get physical measurements
of a viola and cello during the summer.  It would be a blast to
work on other instruments (clarinet, oboe, horn), but that would
require physical modelling code for them.  At the moment, the only
open source code that I'm aware of for clarinet is STK... but as I
type this, I recall that although the STK string model uses an
algorithm from 1986, the clarinet one is 1998 or 2002.  So maybe
that's a feasible thing to investigate.

Spacing figured bass and lyrics

[Michael Käppler]

> I'm not top posting

Hi all,
I've encountered a problem when trying to modify the distance
between a FiguredBass line and a Staff which is placed above.
If there are Lyrics attached to the Voice placed in the upper staff, 
setting a padding to the FiguredBass line has no effect.
Maybe I don't unterstand the way this is supposed to work, but I'm
confused.

See the following example:

\version "2.13.58"

notes = \repeat unfold 20 { a4 b c b }

text = \lyricmode {
  \repeat unfold 20 { bla bla bla bla }
}

numbers = \figuremode {
  \repeat unfold 20 { <3 5>4 <4 6> <_+> <7> }
}

\layout {
  \context {
\FiguredBass
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-unrelatedstaff-spacing #'padding = 
#20
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
  }
}  

\score {
  <<
\new Voice = "one" \relative c'' \notes
\new Lyrics \lyricsto one \text %% Comment this out
\new FiguredBass \numbers
\new Staff { \clef bass \relative c \notes }
  >>
}

Many thanks for any advice,
Michael

Re: Add text to rehearsal mark

[Ed Gordijn]

Hi,

I more or less finished my music function. The result is added.
I didn't really solved the issues I addressed to the list but avoided 
them. Now I store the default format for the rehearsal mark in my own 
function "format-mark-default" so that I can use it in my music function 
RehearsalMarkWithText and can change back to the default after printing 
with RehearsalMark.


I still think that it should be possible to use the calculated value for 
the alignment directly so help on that point is appreciated.

3 - Is it possible to avoid the /set Score.markFormatter and use the
/mark /markup /center-at-mark directly?
 I could use [1] to retrieve the current mark and should increment
the counter: Score.rehearsalMark = Score.rehearsalMark + 1

huh, I had no idea how alists worked.

FWIW Elaine Gould's book says that accents should be outside the staff, so 
2.13 is getting this right, albeit at the expense of messing up sticking

This email looks fine, but I'd like to find out what's wrong with

Doc people: this looks like a copy&paste job.  It should take
about 3 minutes from reading Tom's email to when you have a
reitveld issue uploaded.
Well, maybe run "make" to check that you haven't done anything
really silly while copying it.  So call it 15 minutes, of which
10+ minutes are just the computer processing stuff in the
background while do other stuff.

Problems with articulate.ly, seems to affect the pdf even with two score blocks

[Helge Hafting]

I tried articulate.ly, and the midi output got better.
I also used two score block, one for midi and one for layout.
I do that anyway, so the repeats will be right.

I use the \articulate command only in the midi score block, so staccato 
etc. still print as it should. But the pdf output is still affected:


* I got more pages, and typically only one bar per line. The music
  looked very stretched.
* Many grace notes disappeared.
* Error messages about slurs that could not be terminated

I don't even have to use \articulate anywhere. Merely using
\include "articulate.ly"
will cause these changes in output.

Is this known issues with 2.13.59, or should I try to make a
minimal example of the problems?

Do you still get problems if the \include is moved
to lie within the midi \score block?  The file redefines
some predefined commands, eg \afterGrace and \appoggiatura.

The example in the 'Documentation suggestion' link I pointed you to

There is also a third list if you want to report bugs that you find

bug-lilyp...@gnu.org

Again a separate list that you need to subscribe to. While it does seem rather 
complex, it really helps keep the correct discussions in the appropriate place 
and also more importantly helps in terms of searching the archives, that say 
one list with every email discussed on it. 

Not everyone subscribes to all lists, which is fine and we can cross post for 
you (i.e. forward emails to the other lists if that person is not subscribed) 
but that is not ideal and we'd rather not.

However all that said, ANY contribution to ANY lists is better than nothing.

We've seen you contribution to articulate.ly so that is in the works now.

A clarinet would be way cool.  Recorders and portative organs

You'd rather need something like
legato=#(define-music-function ...

Otherwise, set! is just executed at the time of defining legato, and
legato is set to the _result_ of setting the factor.

Michael,

There's stuff I don't understand here, but could you be explicit in what 
you're trying to do - get the Figured Bass above the lyrics, or further from 
the top stave, or the bottom stave, or what?

Re: Spacing lyrics and markup

[Jan-Peter Voigt]

Hello Phil,

I think you can't move TextScript elements beyond lyrics with 
outside-staff-priority - the lyrics don't belong to a staff but are 
probably associated to a voice within. So you probably have to move the 
markup with \translate or the TextScript with extra-offset.
If it is possible to get the vertical position of a lyrics context from 
within a staff/voice context, it should be possible to move something 
beyond that point. That would make some other things possible:


If I place a closing "(n)" on an extender line, I do it with these two 
functions:


%%% start snip
freetext = #(define-music-function (parser location dx dy text)(number? 
number? markup?)

  #{
\once \override TextScript #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0)
\once \override TextScript #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
\once \override TextScript #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
s1*0_\markup { \translate #(cons $dx $dy) $text }
#})
closeN = #(define-music-function (parser location dy)(number?)
  #{
\freetext #0 #$dy \markup { "(n)" }
#})
closeNx = #(define-music-function (parser location dx dy)(number? number?)
  #{
\freetext #$dx #$dy \markup { "(n)" }
#})
%%% end snip
%%% example:
\relative c' { \partial 4 e4 ~ << e1 ~ \closeN #-3.7 >> | e }
\addlyrics { A __ }

So I set x- and y-extent to 0, so that lily doesn't see a collision. 
Then I move it down. I could of course move it beyond any lyrics 
assigned to this voice, but I have to trial and error to find the right 
value. It would be nice to get the vertical position of the Lyrics and 
attach/align the text to it.
This might lead (again) to a hen-and-egg-problem, where the vertical 
position of the lyrics is not known until the textscript is positioned.


Cheers,
Jan-Peter

Do you still get problems if the \include is moved
to lie within the midi \score block? The file redefines
some predefined commands, eg \afterGrace and \appoggiatura.



I can't have it inside the midi score block - that gives a syntax error
in line 92 of articulate.ly

But I moved the \include so it comes after the layout score block and
before the midi score block. That worked well.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't think of moving the "\include". Being a 
programmer, I am so used to have include-stuff on top of the file.

As far as I know this is impossible.  Lyrics are in a different context than
the staff.

To get this to work you'd need to add the markup to the lyrics, and I'm not
sure how to do that.

markup and note spacing

[Christian McConnell]

Hello everyone,

I've been running into a problem, and I can't seem to figure it out. When I add 
a text markup to one note, the next note is automatically spaced to the right, 
to the end of the markup. It's like \textLengthOn is on by default, and 
inserting \textLengthOff doesn't seem to help.

Any guesses as to what could be causing this?

Thanks,

documentation development discussion list, raging arguments about

by the fact that this documentation (and its support through this list) 
is in such fine shape. A pity...


Well, that was obviously not to be taken seriously (except the last part!).

A couple of days ago I pointed the members of the Kubuntu Linux current 
release discussion list to this software (Lilypond), this list, and the 
associated documentation, as flat out the best experience I've ever had 
with software designed for intensive use by non-programmers. My praise 
was glowing, because that's been my experience.


Personally, when a new release of ly comes out, it's the documentation 
that I'm always most excited to see. Reading it - no, exploring it - is 
such a delight and so stimulating, that I've been known skip meals (and 
sleep!) just to stay on track with some subject I'm learning more about 
in the new docs.


The utter magic of seeing my pencil scores spring to live as beautiful 
engraved scores simply never grows old. I'm very pleased to have 
apparently been able today to make a very small contribution to the 
documentation, as that now means I'm no longer just a taker. I hope to 
contribute more in the future. It's an honor to have any association at 
all with this project.

Phrasing Slurs only from another slur start?

[Nils]

Hello list,

Is it intended or a bug that you have to start a phrasing slur and a normal 
slur only at the same time? This means you can only have one normal slur in a 
phrasing slur (from the beginning?)

The example 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Ties-and-slurs
 
shows nested slurs, called phrasing slurs with a special syntax: 

a8(\( ais b c) cis2 b'2 a4 cis,\)

You need these type of slurs if you have (several) melisma(s) but want 
phrasing/legato also.

However my Lilypond install 2.13.58 complains if I start the phrasing slur (\ 
anywhere else except right before the normal slur, as seen in the example.

Is this a bug?

Correction: You can have other normal slurs after the first one. But you still 
can't start a phrasing slur without a normal slur.

Re: getting repeats to play in midi

[Tom Cloyd]

But here's the problem which I keep running into. I'm reluctantly 
willing to join the documentation list, but while there's plenty of 
references to it, I have yet to see any link which takes me to a 
subscription process. Why not make this easy to locate?


It makes NO sense to me to advise me (as the documentation manual does) 
to post to what appears to be a documentation list (and I have to infer 
that), when I know that if I'm not a member my effort will be for 
naught, AND it is nowhere (that I have yet seen) stated HOW to join. Is 
this some kind of perverse test - you can join if you can discover how? 
I just went to look for this how-to-join information again. I've clicked 
about 15 links. All dry holes. I'm afraid my motivation won't outlast 
this test.


...All of which is about a possible need for refactoring aspects of the 
website, I think.


I hope this is helpful...and now I'm back to digging around in the 
website. This information surely is buried SOMEWHERE...

The example in the 'Documentation suggestion' link I pointed you to

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions.html

implies emails are sent to

lilypond-de...@gnu.org

However you do need to join this email list (like you would have done for 
lilypond-user@gnu.org) else you will get the bounce you are seeing.

There is also a third list if you want to report bugs that you find

bug-lilyp...@gnu.org

Again a separate list that you need to subscribe to. While it does seem rather 
complex, it really helps keep the correct discussions in the appropriate place 
and also more importantly helps in terms of searching the archives, that say 
one list with every email discussed on it.

Not everyone subscribes to all lists, which is fine and we can cross post for 
you (i.e. forward emails to the other lists if that person is not subscribed) 
but that is not ideal and we'd rather not.

However all that said, ANY contribution to ANY lists is better than nothing.

We've seen you contribution to articulate.ly so that is in the works now.

There is a huge misunderstanding here.  There is NO SUCH THING as
a documentation list for lilypond.

All of our official, active, lists are here:
http://lilypond.org/contact.html
with the possible exception of the "frogs" list, which is here:
http://lilypond.org/help-us.html

Please state exactly which page caused you to "infer" that there
is a documentation list.  I want to fix this.

Phrasing slur is \(, not (\.  You had the problem because (\ is invalid
LilyPond syntax.  By doing (\( you got a normal slur ( followed by a
phrasing slur \(, so you didn't end up with a syntax error.

collides with the ledger line


In the picture of the old score i have the slur is moved below the
ledger line. How can we do the same with lilypond?


I also noticed that lilypond prints grace note with a little bigger
proportion than usual. Is there a way i can change the size and how
close grace notes are from the next notes?

Re: slur collides with ledger line & grace note size

This would be a collision bug.  Please report on the bug-lilypond list.

However, Stone says the following:

"It used to be customary to slur grace notes to the main note, but since
such slurs are superfluous it is recommended that they be omitted.  As a
result of this omission, a tied grace note becomes more immediately
recognizable.  Should it be desired to perform a grace note detached, which
is very rare, a staccato dot will serve to indicate this."

It is possible to adjust the slur end points.  See the LSR for ways to do
this.

The distance to the main notes is controlled by the 'shortest-duration-space
of the GraceSpacing grob.

I have been unable to determine how to change the size of grace notes.

3 Lyric lines

[Michael Dykes]

I am attempting to have a section of my piece have 3 lyric lines, but only
in the middle of the piece. Here is my best attempt thus far, which as you
can see, results in errors that I am not sure how to fix. Thanks for all
your help, as usual.

Fwd: getting repeats to play in midi

But here's the problem which I keep running into. I'm reluctantly willing to 
join the documentation list, but while there's plenty of references to it, I 
have yet to see any link which takes me to a subscription process. Why not make 
this easy to locate?

It makes NO sense to me to advise me (as the documentation manual does) to post 
to what appears to be a documentation list (and I have to infer that), when I 
know that if I'm not a member my effort will be for naught, AND it is nowhere 
(that I have yet seen) stated HOW to join. Is this some kind of perverse test - 
you can join if you can discover how? I just went to look for this how-to-join 
information again. I've clicked about 15 links. All dry holes. I'm afraid my 
motivation won't outlast this test.

...All of which is about a possible need for refactoring aspects of the 
website, I think.

I hope this is helpful...and now I'm back to digging around in the website. 
This information surely is buried SOMEWHERE...

The example in the 'Documentation suggestion' link I pointed you to

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/documentation-suggestions.html

implies emails are sent to

lilypond-de...@gnu.org

However you do need to join this email list (like you would have done for 
lilypond-user@gnu.org) else you will get the 
bounce you are seeing.

There is also a third list if you want to report bugs that you find

bug-lilyp...@gnu.org

Again a separate list that you need to subscribe to. While it does seem rather 
complex, it really helps keep the correct discussions in the appropriate place 
and also more importantly helps in terms of searching the archives, that say 
one list with every email discussed on it.

Not everyone subscribes to all lists, which is fine and we can cross post for 
you (i.e. forward emails to the other lists if that person is not subscribed) 
but that is not ideal and we'd rather not.

However all that said, ANY contribution to ANY lists is better than nothing.

We've seen you contribution to articulate.ly so that is 
in the works now.

Regards

James

Do you still get problems if the \include is moved
to lie within the midi \score block? The file redefines
some predefined commands, eg \afterGrace and \appoggiatura.



I can't have it inside the midi score block - that gives a syntax error
in line 92 of articulate.ly

But I moved the \include so it comes after the layout score block and
before the midi score block. That worked well.


Even that doesn't work if using \bookpart to have multiple scores in the 
one PDF - you still get the error on line 92 of articulate.ly with the 
include between the layout and midi score blocks. The include has to go 
outside the \bookpart block.

Re: getting repeats to play in midi

[Tom Cloyd]

Well, yes, we (or *I*) do seem to be running in circles in a sand storm.

So...

1. /Notation Reference/ section on articulate.ly 
 
- in the page footer, in rather small font (which I have missed until 
just now) is a link: suggestions for the documentation 
, 
which takes me to Documentation suggestions 
.  
Paragraph 1, sentence 3 has the link mailing lists 
 (plural!). But all that's 
referenced there is the lilypond-users list. Other lists are referenced 
on the page, but none are dedicated to documentation development. So 
following this link path to its end appears to dispel any beliefs in 
such a list.


Incidentally, Lilypond appears to live in an alternative universe, as 
well as this one, since the link at the foot of the /Notation Reference/ 
page takes us to what appears to be an older Lilypond website, or at 
least a different interface.


2. /Notation Reference/ 5.2 Documentation suggestions 
 
contains what appears to be a discussion list which is NOT 
lilypond-users. Because this is in a section about documentation, I 
thoughtlessly inferred that this list was about documentation, and this 
seems the be the sole basis for my misunderstanding about this mythical 
list. Sorry for the mental muddle. Hopes can take to realities, but also 
to sheer fiction!


To the best of my knowledge there are no other places that might lead 
one to think there was a documentation list. More than any other single 
factor, my belief in this list was due to my have always encountered 
such a list with major open source software project.


I think it's all clear now!

There is a huge misunderstanding here.  There is NO SUCH THING as
a documentation list for lilypond.

All of our official, active, lists are here:
http://lilypond.org/contact.html

Pierre,

Je voudrais que je pourrais parler francais meme que vouz parlez anglais.

I have fixed the problem with the multiple markups.

I have not been able to determine an automatic way to avoid the duplicated
glissando, but I have not seen it as a problem.

Can you show me an example where it causes the problem?

Thanks,

Carl

I see three opening << and only one closing >>.
If fixing this doesn't solve the problem, please reduce your file to a
minimal example - currently the file is too big and cluttered to say
anything more.
I also strongly recommend that you use either tabs or spaces for
indentation, not mix them (i have different tab width and the code
looks extremely messy).
As for 3 lyric lines only in the middle of the piece, this is
described in Notation Reference 2.1.2.

Tuplet bracket length

[bruys .]

Greetings,

I would like the alter the length of the tuplet bracket so it extends from
the left-hand edge of the first notehead, to the right-hand edge of the last
notehead.

Lilypond seems to default to making the bracket go from the left-most stem
to the right-most stem. See the attached example.

In the attached example, there is also a problem with the nested triplets.
The two numerals '3' collide.Could this be a bug that has since been
corrected? In the final group of notes, where the inner triplet bracket is
printed in the upper position, it is interesting to note that Lilypond draws
the bracket enclosing the noteheads, not just the stems.

Thanks,
Bruys


%% tuplets
\version "2.12.3"

\header {
  title = "Tuplets"
}
notes = {
  %% nb. '3's clash in the following
  \times 2/3 { b'8[
  \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
  b'8]
 }
  %% To force drawing of both tuplet brackets
  \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##t

  \times 2/3 { b'8[
   \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
   b'8]
 }
  %% To change positioning of inner tuplet bracket
  \times 2/3 { b'8[
   \once \override TupletBracket #'direction = #UP
   \times 2/3 { b'16 b' b' }
   b'8]
 }
}

It is a known bug and unfortunately it still exists in 2.13.59.

How to prevent page number appearing on back of title page?

[Nick Payne]

It's happening because I'm using Header and Footer markups (cribbed from 
the Notation Reference examples) in order to have page numbers centred 
at the foot of the page. If I add a blank page on the back of the ToC, 
so that the first piece starts on a right-hand page, I'm getting a page 
number of 0 appearing on that supposedly blank page. How can I prevent 
that?


Below is a minimal example which shows the problem. The define of 
not-last-page in the main paper block is so that I can have a custom 
tagline on the final page.


\version "2.13.59"

date = #(strftime "%d/%m/%Y" (localtime (current-time)))

\paper {
#(define (not-last-page layout props arg)
(if (and (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-bookpart-last-page props #f)
(chain-assoc-get 'page:is-last-bookpart props #f))
empty-stencil
(interpret-markup layout props arg)))

first-page-number = -1
print-page-number = ##f
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { " " }
oddFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \column {
\on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page 
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string

\on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline
} }
evenFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \column {
\on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page 
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string

\on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline
} }
ragged-right = ##t
ragged-bottom = ##t
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
}

\header {
title = "Overall Title"
subtitle = \markup {
\left-align \center-column {
"Overall Subtitle"
\lower #2 " " % to space ToC away from title/subtitle
}
}
tagline = \markup {
\fontsize #-3.5
{
Engraved on \date using \with-url #"http://lilypond.org/";
{ LilyPond \simple #(lilypond-version) (http://lilypond.org/) }
}
}
}

\markuplines \table-of-contents
\pageBreak
\markup \null

\bookpart {
\paper {
print-page-number = ##t
}
\header {
subtitle = "Piece One"
composer = "Person One"
}
\tocItem \markup { 1. Piece One }
\relative c' { c1 }
}

\bookpart {
\paper {
print-page-number = ##t
}
\header {
subtitle = "Piece Two"
composer = "Person Two"
}
\tocItem \markup { 1. Piece Two }
\relative c' { c1 }
}

\bookpart {
\paper {
print-page-number = ##t
}
\header {
subtitle = "Piece Three"
composer = "Person Three"
}
\tocItem \markup { 3. Piece Three }
\relative c' { c1 }
}
