My usual experience with using development versions of various pieces of
software I frequently use is that they are, after you had a suitable
distance (depending on the pace of development and the release cycles)
to the last stable release, more reliable and fun to work with as long
as you frequently update them.

The quality at some point starts to be better than that of the last
stable version.  It is less consistent, however: you might pick a lemon
that warrants another update (or downgrade) soon.  So if you are
planning on doing just one update per year, the last stable version
might be a good bet.  If frequent updates don't scare you, tracking the
last development release or even the current development source
habitually can be rewarding.  Also you tend to know better about what
changes important to you end up in the next stable version if you don't
let yourself be surprised by all changes at once.

And of course, it is more rewarding if you tend to strain Lilypond's
capacities that you often get problems fixed in a reasonable time frame
after your initial report.  And if you dislike a particular change for a
good reason, you'll get to see it sooner and can protest more
effectively.

Look at the section name and do

$ git grep "Normal maintenance"
Documentation/contributor/release-work.itexi:@item @strong{Normal maintenance}:
Documentation/contributor/website-work.itexi:@subheading Normal maintenance

The latter contains the sectioning command and that is the file which

Am 2011-12-17 um 19:59 schrieb Father Gordon Gilbert:


Hi all,

I don't know if it's useful to anyone, but a collection of
the most common Public Domain Christmas carols in a booklet form
is at
http://blog.daveg.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Christmas_Carol_Booklet.pdf

It's printed on legal-size paper, and if you put adjacent pages (1 &
2, 3 & 4, etc) on opposite sides of the page makes everything in the
correct order.

Just so's you know what I did, here it is:
1.  Compile each song in the normal manner to produce the song in  
PDF format.


2.  Compile with the following to produce a PNG
lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts --png  
myfile.ly


3.  In an OpenOffice document, set up the page size, two columns, etc

4.  Make all the pages you want, and put the correct page numbers on  
the page


5.  I also made my table of contents in the order I wished, so I could
refer to it as I installed the PNGs

6.  Load the PNG on the desired page.  Immediately make it "wrap
through".  (This makes your filling of the document much easier.)
Then re-size -- usually just cutting off a bit of the bottom of the
page will do.

7.  Do the same for each song in order.

I realise that PNGs are not the best, but since these were being
shrunk from original size, it doesn't seem to be a problem.  Also,
font-size is not totally uniform.  But with relatively little work,
and without a lot of geeky moves, I have a booklet that is now highly
configurable.



Thank you for your work, but IMO it was at least partly in vain.

I guess a collection of .ly sources would be better for this audience.

And a PDF containing vector data would be better (and probably  
smaller) for every audience.
Of course (and very unfortunately) you cannot import vector data (i.e.  
PDFs) in some word processor, you’d need to employ a proper layout  
application (e.g. Scribus or InDesign) or typesetting system (TeX). Or  
use PDF tools to "glue" single lead sheets together with preface, ToC  
etc. from your word processor of choice.


I myself compile my song booklets using ConTeXt with included LilyPond  
sources (a bit more mainstream would be using lilypond-book with  
LaTeX); there’s even an officially and legally printed booklet of mine  
with carols of the not-so-Christian type (e.g. winter/solstice/newyear  
songs).
I’m using TeX’s index mechanism to get a sorted ToC automatically. But  
doing layout with TeX is not for the faint at heart.

If anyone wants to know more about this notation, "croches blanches" is a good

And Charpentier also uses the single digit time signature "3" in such music.

Help for partial

2011-12-22 Thread Maarten de Keijzer
Can someone help me with some strange effects in this score (a composition
of Yiruma, in which I tried to combine the solo and right hand to make it
easier to play).

The piece starts with a partial, which is displayed on its own; why isn't it
combined with a few more measures?

 

And second: on page 2, third system, the last measure has some strange
behavior.

When I take off the \paper section, that measure moves up to the top of page
2, but the same thing happens.

 

Kind regards,

Maarten

There're 800 users in their forums! I don't think there's much interest in open
source (music) projects in Italy, there were only 10-15 users in the old
audio/music ML. Hope I'm wrong but two months has passed from Federico's post
and we're only two italians talkin' about a ML. :-(

There's an e-mail for contacts here:
http://it.gnu.org/cgi-bin/mailman/admin

I don't know if a subscription (here: http://it.gnu.org/ ) is necessary to
create a ML.

I create it, if there's enough demand.  How many people want an
italian list?

How to make slurs ignore stems?

2011-12-22 Thread Jakub Pavlík
In regular modern scores it is logical that the ends of a slur attach to a 
notehead or to an end of a stem, depending on the direction of stems of the 
notes connected by the slur.

I'm typesetting chant transcriptions and make stems transparent:
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
Some slurs, attached to invisible stems, then "fly high over the notes".

Is there any way to tell LilyPond to ignore stems when making slurs and attach 
slur always to noteheads?

(I attach an image showing the problem. Red dots emphasize slurs attached to 
invisible stems.)

Thanks for any help.

There are probably better ways to go about this, but this seems to work:

\version "2.15.16"

\relative c'' {
  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
  \override Stem #'Y-extent = ##f
  c( a g)
}

\version "2.14.1"

music = \relative c' {
\override Stem #'stencil = #point-stencil
\override Beam #'stencil = #point-stencil
 a'8( b c d) e( f g) a( | a,) b c( d e f g a)
}

\score {
  \music
}

This help?

Here's another way:

 \relative c'' {
  \override Stem #'transparent = ##t
  \stemDown
  c( a g)
}

Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 1.9.5, last beta before 2.0.0

I have to install an overlay + this "java
thing" I don't like very much.


PortMidi itself is a small c library which should not require java.
There is some frontend tool in java but it's absolutely not needed :)



You're right. I finally installed the sunrise overlay and compiled 
portmidi-217 without java!!!. It required one dependency. cython-0.14.1

that's all. Thanks Gentoo.
Nevertheless there is a drawback.
Above all I have to launch timidity in a terminal:
  timidity -iA

Then there are 2 ways for using the midi,
1. with Alsa in standalone.

==> Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192
ALSA pcm 'default' set buffer size 32768, period size 16384 bytes
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 128:0 128:1 128:2 128:3

I go to the Preferences => Reglages MIDI and refresh the midi ports.
Then I select TiMidity port 0 and all is OK. Hmm... Nearly. Sometimes 
two or three notes are jerky, not all the time but more than 7 out of 10 
tries with different midifiles it happens. By default I never have an 
issue with Alsa and I run a realtime kernel. For me portmidi is the 
culprit.


2. with Jack (qjackctl)

I launch qjackctl

==> jack_client_new: deprecated
jack_client_new: deprecated
TiMidity starting in ALSA server mode
Opening sequencer port: 130:0 130:1 130:2 130:3

as you see the midi port has changed. Again I refresh the midi ports in 
Frescobaldi and I must select again  TiMidity port 0 in the rolling list 
because "for old times' sake" I guess portmidi keep in memory the old 
port (128) not the new (130). This time the streaming is correct.


If for one reason the midi port has changed in 1. or 2. you have to 
reset the Preferences.


I don't want you spend an awful Christmas, surely not, I'm not the only 
one who appreciates your work very much. Rather consider it like a kind 
of bug report about the choice of portmidi, at least on Linux.
i'm annoyed with myself for doing such a report when Christmas is not 
too distant future. :)


Regards.
Phil.
