You may see that in the attached example especially if you zoom in heavily on such a line. If I open the eps file you attached using Evince on Ubuntu 10.04, there is no problem visible with the ledger lines, nor is there any problem with a PDF generated from the eps using Acrobat Distiller on Windows. So I would say that the problem is with the viewer rather than the file itself. Nick, please try the following on your Ubuntu system: Open a new LibreOffice Writer document and drag the .eps into it (would be the same as to import it as a picture from a file). Now zoom in a lot on the ledger lines. Also interesting: Enlarge the picture in the LibreOffice Writer document (hold shift key to keep the original width/height ratio). Print the document. It seems that LibreOffice uses ghostscript to interpret .eps as well as for printing the document. If ghostscript was just a viewer I'd not have a problem. Unfortunately ghostscript plays an important role in a Linux system for conversion and printing of all .ps and .eps. I doubt it is easy to find a workaround to circumvent it on the way to a printed document. To encircle the problem a little more I've tried to generate an .eps from the same lilypond source under Windows. This file has the same behaviour: It will not show artifacts in the Win7 environment even if viewed with GSview (which uses the windows version 8.71 of ghostscript!). But on my Linux system the same semi-hollow ledger lines are there for that file again. Of course I tried it also the other way round: Using the Linux generated .eps on Windows (again GSview). Result: No artifacts. If you - happily - are not able to reproduce the problem on your system, but want to take a look at it, I have attached two .png files generated on my Linux machine: SimpleGeneratedByLilypond.png was generated adding the --png option to the lilypond command line given in my first mail and simpleConvertedByImageMagick.png which was generated using this command: convert -density 600 Simple.pdf SimpleConvertedByImageMagick.png where the .pdf was of course generated by lilypond. The high resolution .png shows the effect with high precision. Markus <><>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Bug in .eps output (or its interpretation?) on Linux: Ledger lines loose fill
Installed the new ghostscript version 9.04 besides the 8.71 on my windows system and ... bingo! The bug is not there using ghostscript 8.71 but it will show up using the 9.04 version (which is the default for Ubuntu 11.10). This brings up the question wether the interpretation of the 9.04 ghostcript or the 8.71 ghostscript is correct for the file generated by Lilypond. Personally I feel a tendency to look for the error in the 9.04 ghostcript rather than in Lilypond. Has anybody an idea how to get the attention of the ghostscript developers on this problem? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Bug in .eps output (or its interpretation?) on Linux: Ledger lines loose fill
Since the bug probably resides in ghostscript version 9.04 vs. version 8.71, but not in Lilypond I filed a bug report to bug-ghostscript (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-ghostscript/).

Automatic beaming in 2/2
Hi all. I'm transcribing a piece written in 2/2 time, but I don't like the
automatic beaming that LilyPond uses when I set \time 2/2:
%%% begin snippet %%%
music = \relative c'' {
c16 c c c c c c c c8 c16 c c8 c16 c |
r8 c c c c c c c | \break
}
\new Staff {
% good
\time 4/4
\music
% bad -- first measure has too many notes per beam
\time 2/2
\music
\time 2/2
% bad -- second measure has too few notes per beam
\set baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
\set beatStructure = #'(1 1 1 1)
\music
}
%%% end snippet %%%
I want the piece to be in 2/2 time, but with the 4/4 beamExceptions. What's
the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Scores within a book in two columns
Is there a way to typeset a number of one line scores within a book in
two columns?
Ideally I'd like something like
\book {
\score {}
\markup {
\column {
\score {}
\score {}
}
\column {
\score {}
\score {}
}
}
}
but that doesn't work, at least not with 2.14. I really like to use
score so I can get headers and stuff for the fragments, but if there
is another, more manual way, that can work too.
Thanks

Re: Creating Musical Examples Without Meter
Ivan, To turn off time signature all together, do \set Score.timing = ##f That gets ride of time signature both visually and actually, if you want to insert barlines after that, inser them manually: \bar If you want to break a line with no barline at the end, do \bar "" \break Actually, I have a file with a set of definitions (raspev.ly) that allows you to write metreless music indefinitely with linebreaks inserted almost automatically. I will share it with you if you like. It isn't perfect in that it will also break a line between a dotted quarter and the following eighth, but it is helpful if you have long metreless pieces and you want to just type them in without worrying about line-breaks until later.

why should this not work - see attached example

but i don't think headers inside markup scores will render.

Works fine with "2.14.2" and \change Staff.
But there is no effect in the following example.

Surely I'm missing something less brutal than that! My instructor

concerned, and very much open to suggestions!
Further Googling gives http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=616 :

a8\startTextSpan

%<---
which is closer in appearance, but I haven't the Scheme fu to modify the
stringNumberSpanner function to incorporate the startTextSpan and number
of notes. Ideally, one would wind up with something like a8\fSpan {"5"
4} which would extend a line for 4 of the note value of the starting note.
Maybe I'll have a chance to RTFM about Extending, but for the moment,
desperately in need of practice as I am, the analog pencil will have to
suffice!
