Automatic fingering alignment for chords with seconds
Hello,
When a chord contains an interval of second, note heads are shifted and
fingerings follow but this is not pretty for strings instruments where
fingerings are usually (horizontally) aligned (and placed on top of the notes).
I know I could tweak each fingering for second chords as:
http://old.nabble.com/chord-fingering-td29716222.html
Does an automatic alignment already exist in Lilypond? Something like:
\set Staff.fingeringHorizontalAlignment = ##t
Best regards,
Karim
\version "2.12.3"
\new Staff
{
\set Staff.fingeringOrientations = #'(up)
\relative c' {
}
}

Complicated duration
I am typesetting a peace of music and trying to align the lyrics to the
melody. While this is generally simple, one climactic syllable lasts for
a whole note plus an eighth note plus the first note of the following
tuplet:
\times 2/3 { a8[ aes8 ges8] }
What is the Lilypond expression of the entire duration that I must write after
the lyric?

Hi, Christopher,
sounds like 1/1 + 1/8 + 1/8*2/3 = 24/24 + 3/24 + 2/24 = 29/24, if I
calculated correctly. So probably
syllable1*29/24
should do the job.
HTH,
Alexander

This works here:
<<
\new Staff{
c'1~ c'8~ \times 2/3 { c'8[ d' e'] }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricmode {
c1~ ""8~ \times 2/3 { "" d e }
}
>>

Re: Complicated duration
Do you need to specify the duration? If the notes are all tied together,
won't the lyrics engraver align the syllable automatically?

Re: Complicated duration
Hi !
You can put the length of the melism after the word : 1 + 2/3 = 5/3
so : bla8*5/3 (haven't tried !)
Another issue would be to use, INSIDE THE NOTES, \melisma and
\mlelismaEnd (cf
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-vocal-music.html#multiple-notes-to-one-syllable)
That works much better !
Cheers

Would it not be easier to indicate the start and
end of the melisma with \melisma and \melismaEnd
in the melody?

Ciao Massimo,
search "bendAfter chord" in the lilypond-user archives and you'll see
that you are not the first person who asks this question and gets no
reply:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/
So my first guess is: it's not supported. But some expert user should
confirm it.
If I try, I get a programming error:
"must have Item for spanner bound of BendAfter"
Unfortunately, I can't find any snippet in the LSR.
You can make it work by using two voices instead of a chord:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00610.html
(you won't have the clashing note columns problem if each voice is
enclosed by brackets)
For example:
\version "2.14.0"
\score {
\new Staff {
<<
{ c1-\bendAfter #+5 }
\\
{ g1-\bendAfter #+5 }
>>
}
}

2.14 linux download page error
The "compiling a file" example on the right-hand side of the download page (http://lilypond.org/unix.html) has a version number in the sample ly file of 2.15.0. Should be 2.14.0. Nick ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
2.14 docs PDF portfolio
I have created a searchable indexed PDF portfolio from the 2.14 English PDF docs (Extending, Internals, Learning, Notation, Snippets, Usage, and Web) and uploaded it to http://www.users.on.net/~njpayne/music/lilydoc.pdf. You need Adobe Reader 9.x or later. 3rd party PDF readers can't cope with PDF portfolios. There is also a bug with the latest 9.4.2 version of reader for Linux, in that it doesn't display the initial portfolio thumbnail page correctly. Works ok with 9.4.0 or previous. Latest reader for Windows doesn't have the same problem. Nick ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
