changing vertical position of tremolo beams
Hi list,
At the second bar of these example,
\version "2.14.2"
\relative b'' {
e2 2:32 |
1:32 |
2:32 r2 |
}
the repeat beam step over the additional lines of the chord notes.
[image: beam.png]
(The image shows the result of the example)
How do I change the vertical position of the beam so it gets under the
additional lines?
Thanks
tdy.

You could define your annotation (I assume by this you mean a single
measure with an example of the groupings) with variables that contain
their own \score of a single measure of the grouping you want. Then
use that variable as a markup for the bars you want to annotate.
This is a bit of a crude example - but might give you an idea.
\version "2.14.2"
\relative c' {
a b c d |
a b c d |
%The Tweak moves the markup left horizontally - this can be modified
as needed.
a-\tweak #'X-offset #-3 ^\markup {
\score {
\new Staff \relative c' {
%depending on what you want to remove you may also need to
remove the time sig stencil
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \clef "treble"
a'8 a a a a a a a
}
% The \layout { } is required. Do not remove it.
\layout { }
}
}
b4 c d |
a b c d |

I don't know this.

scaled lyrics
Hello list,
when I am typesetting christian/latin or german music, there are often
passages with short notes and a lot of long syllables. The character 'M'
is a quite long one and if you have the german word "schlem -- men", it
also takes a lot of space.
If I use proportional duration scaling for the notes, it only works -
for texts like these - with a very wide spreading of the notes. So I
tried to scale the lyrics proportionally:
--snip--
\version "2.14.2"
#(define-public (create-damp-stencil axis mx gamma proc)
(lambda (grob)
(let* ((stil (proc grob)) ; produce stencil
(extent (ly:stencil-extent stil axis)) ; get stencil
extent
(size (- (cdr extent) (car extent))) ; there's a
ly:function for this, I think
(fac (* (/ mx size) (- 1 (expt gamma (- size)) ;
calculate scale-factor: maximum/size * (1 - (gamma ^ (-size)))
(if (< fac 1.0) ; if we make it smaller, return scales
else original stencil
(ly:stencil-scale stil (if (eq? axis X) fac 1) (if
(eq? axis Y) fac 1))
stil)
)))
% some text with different syllable lengths ... many characters and a
lot of 'm's
credo = \lyricmode {
Cre -- do in u -- num De -- um Je -- sum Chri -- stum
}
\relative c'' {
\repeat unfold 2 { \repeat unfold 11 { c8 } r }
} \addlyrics {
\credo
\override LyricText #'stencil = #(create-damp-stencil X 4 1.6
lyric-text::print)
\credo
}
--snip--
The scaling formula maximum/size * (1 - (gamma ^ (-size))) is a first
shot, wich scales all syllables to not be greater than maximum. So in
this example the 8ths are not spread in the second part by 'sum' or 'Chris'.
But I don't like the look of the uneven scaled text. Has anyone an idea
of a "softer" scaling function? Or has anyone another idea on this topic?
Right now I simply try a scaled stencil:
--snip--
\version "2.14.2"
#(define-public (create-scale-stencil fac proc)
(lambda (grob)
(let ((stil (proc grob)))
(if (pair? fac)(ly:stencil-scale stil (car fac) (cdr fac))
(begin (ly:message "not a pair of numbers: ~A!" fac)
stil)
% some text with different syllable lengths ... many characters and a
lot of 'm's
credo = \lyricmode {
Cre -- do in u -- num De -- um Je -- sum Chri -- stum
}
\relative c'' {
\repeat unfold 2 { \repeat unfold 11 { c8 } r }
} \addlyrics {
\credo
\override LyricText #'stencil = #(create-scale-stencil '(.7 . 1)
lyric-text::print)
\credo
}
--snip--
What do you think of this?
Cheers,
Jan-Peter

Re: Chords: How to show chords without suffixes
Hi,
No this isn't what i wanted..I wouldent be asking if there were a anwser

What i wanted is:

That will give me:

Re: Chords: How to show chords without suffixes
Hi Stjepan,
well, most obvious answer would be: Use only C, A, D &c if you want to
see that on the paper, i.e.:
\chordmode {
c1
a1
d1
g1
}
In case you *also* need a correct midi output, I would just use a second
chordmode staff
\chordmode {
c1:7
a1:min
d1:min
g1:sus4 }
und put *that* into the midi score ...
It's not the most elegant way, but - frankly - chordmodes staffs are
written in no time anyway ...
Best,
Robert

So basically you are asking how to make Lilypond render the chord inputs
incorrectly. I didn't understand your goal.
The simplest answer is to input the chords the way you want them (c1 a1 d1 g1
etc.). The more complicated answer is that you may be able to create a file
that overrides chord rendering and \include it in the file. Get the
pop-chords.ly file (should be in the Lilypond Snippet Repository) and read up
on how to edit it to force Lilypond to render the chords in certain ways.
However, I don't know that you will be able to force rendering a minor chord as
a major chord.

I often write syllabic German music, too, so I know your problem, and I often just use a condensed font family. E.g., the free DejaVu font family offers condensed serif variants. If you can, I also highly recommend that you get a cheap old version of the CorelDRAW suite (v6 or higher, I think, but just search the web to find out) on eBay or the like. It comes with a collection of about a thousand font variants, including ones with proper condensed shapes. A good share of these fonts are of pretty good quality, though I heard that serious typographers would beat me up for saying so. They may not have excellent hinting or headline variants, but I find them very suitable for some lyrics. You'll probably get TrueType and Type1 files without amazing features and huge character set, but it's really okay. Later versions (>= v13 and the Corel X suites, I think) also ship with an OpenType collection, but I did not get my hands on these so far.

Beginner's question: breathe marks only in lower voice
Hi, I am just starting out with lilypond. I am setting a ChoirStaff score, and I would like to be able to set breahemarks on the lower voice on the treble staff only, but they appear at the top even is written in the lower voice. Is there a trick how I can restrict them to the lower voice? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
