Yep, see the attachment. I put the chords at the top for reference, and

Ah, yes - thank you, I never noticed before that there was stuff indexed
under \blah as well as blah. Also, I hadn't twigged to the convention of
referring to blah as a command meaning \blah, I have always thought of
\blah it as inserting the thing defined by blah =  into the lilypond
text. (Fair enough).

With the page pointed to by \RemoveEmptyStaves I arrived at

\layout { \context { Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } }

then I discovered that my recollection was correct - I had already been
here some years ago, when I arrived at this

\layout { \context {\RemoveEmptyStaffContext } }

so, I guess I should ask which form is preferred, if any?

Hi,

\layout { \context { Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves } }

You'll not find \RemoveEmptyStaffContext in the Docs since version 2.14.
Furthermore, you may want to have a look at /ly/engraver-init.ly:

%% Keep the old definitions in here for compatibility (they erase previous
%% settings to the corresponding context!).
%% For new scores, one should simply insert the \RemoveEmptyStaves settings
%% into the desired context. That's just as easy, requires only one line more
%% (the \*Staff), but preserves previous context mods.
%% TODO: DEPRECATED_2.13.17, remove at some point in the future

  Harm

Maybe the image was too large.

Posting images, I always try to make them as small as possible, using

That's why I continued to appear awkward - to point out the usefulness of

Acciaccatura interferes with ChordNames?

2013-05-12 Thread Jim Long
It appears that an acciaccatura in conjunction with 
"\set chordChanges = ##t" can prevent a ChordNames staff from
engraving a repeated chord at the beginning of a line.

Either removing the acciaccatura or setting chordChanges = ##f
eliminates the problem.

Known issue?

Also, the acciaccatura seems a little too close to the clef.

Thank you,

Jim


\version "2.16.2"

Chords = \new ChordNames {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \chordmode { e1 e1 }
}

\score { % this score has a chord symbol on the 2nd line
  <<
\Chords
\new Staff {
  \repeat unfold 8 e'8 \break
%  \acciaccatura fis'8

David N,

I think David K is referring to changes in LilyPond's implementation in 
new versions, not to changes in the layout of the current score. You 
can't rely on your \shape modifications to still work correctly with new 
Lily versions.


But I'm not sure if that's the real problem. Of course I have to look 
for regressions if I update a score to a newer LilyPond version.
And I have to check this for slurs too that I didn't tweak explicitely 
(they too may become worse in a specific situation, even when the 
automatic engraving has improved in general).
And as others have pointed out there will always be the need to tweak 
engraving manually.  For these cases it is just better to have \shape 
than to have to edit control-points manually, because there are 
infinitely more cases where it works well.

Hi Xavier,

perhaps, this comes close to what you want ({a b c' } being the

\version "2.16.0"

chordslist = \chordmode {
  c1:7 cs1:7 d1:m7 d1:7 d1:aug7 d1:11 d1:13 ef1:13 e1:7 e1:aug7 f1:7

}


\bookpart {

  \header {
subtitle = "(Chords)"
  }

  <<
\new ChordNames {
  \chordslist
}
\new Staff {
  % remove time signature, bar lines and bar numbers:
  % in version 2.16.0:
  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
  \override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = ##f
  \override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = ##f
  % or in version 2.17.17, you can write:
  %\omit Staff.TimeSignature
  %\omit Staff.BarLine
  %\omit Score.BarNumber
  \chordslist
}

  \score {

(You can choose between a general (2.16) version and a 2.17-only version
and remove the other comments.)

How to get multiple text spanners at the same height?

2013-05-12 Thread Peter Toye
I need to have a sequence of text spanners (like Rall --- en --- tan --- do)

The problem is that because of the varying height of objects on the stave, the 
following code places the different bits of text at different vertical 
positions.

I can't see anything in the documentation about forcing the text spanners to 
follow on from each other. What am I missing please?

\version "2.16.2"

\language "english"

OboePart= {

  \key a \minor
   \clef treble
  \time 2/4

  \relative c'' {
   \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "Rallen"
g8.\startTextSpan g16 g8 g8 | b4\>
\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = "tando"
a~\stopTextSpan\startTextSpan| a2\stopTextSpan \bar "|."
  }
}

Re:

2013-05-12 Thread ghe


Thank you again, Thomas!



Well, you could do the following, although it might be not be the same 
as \hfill in Tex.




Indeed, there are a few differences, notably in the fact that the amount 
of space is not calculated automatically, and in the fact that it cannot 
be inserted between two elements (for example to put the final bar at the 
end of the staff instead of shortening the staff).  But, as I said, it is 
already a good solution, and I think I will live with it.




\version "2.14.2"

spaceRight =
#(define-music-function (parser location space)(number?)
 (let* ((amount (+ space 0.5))
(space-right `(extra-space . ,amount)))
 #{
%% Maybe additional layout-objects must be affected!?
\once \override Score.BarLine #'space-alist #'right-edge = #`(extra-space . 
,$space)
\once \override Score.KeySignature #'space-alist #'right-edge = $space-right
\once \override Score.KeyCancellation #'space-alist #'right-edge = 
$space-right
\once \override Score.TimeSignature #'space-alist #'right-edge = 
$space-right
 #}))


hfill = \spaceRight #20

{
  %\spaceRight #30
  %\key d\major
  a4\( b c d~(
  %\breathe
  \hfill\break
  %\time 8/8
  %\clef alto
  %\key cis\major
  d4 b) c\) d \bar "|."
  \hfill
}



I see, I guess that the \once is there to prevent that the \spaceRight 
takes effect on all the staffs, which is indeed better.  (But I don't 
understand why \override BarLine had to be changed.)

Is there a way to use the custodes feature of LilyPond, but with modern 
glyphs (for example normal notes with the \teeny size), instead of the 
funny medieval glyphs?  I see in:


http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/ancient-notation_002d_002dcommon-features#custodes

that four styles are supported (vaticana, medicaea, hufnagel, mensural), 
but using any of these in a modern score would not be appropriate I think.

Hi,

you could just use spacer rests instead of notes/chords: s4

or you could try: \hideNotes \unHideNotes
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/inside-the-staff#hidden-notes
(this does not hide slurs etc.)

or remove the engravers as you did (you have to find all of them, here
are the names, in case you are searching):
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/internals/engravers-and-performers

or look here for the stencil = ##f or the transparent = ##t methods
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects
(\hide and \omit in newer versions, but not yet documented as far as I know)

These are possiblities, I know of.

To prevent confusion: I meant all _necessary_ ones in order to hide what
you want to be hidden. For sure, you must not hide all engravers listed

Generally, you can adjust 'padding or 'staff-padding for the text spanner.
 If the value is large enough, LilyPond is able to align the spanners
vertically.  (You'll note that I've done just that in the example below,)
 Here, there's the additional complication of a spanner beginning and
ending at the same timestep.  The best I could come up with to get the
effect you want is to separate them.  I'd hope there's a better way--this
seems fussy,

pizz and arco: a question

2013-05-12 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Ok. in braille music, I see the word "pizz "and i know until I see "arco" I 
have to pluc the string. In lily pond I don't want to put \pizz over every 
single note especially since with the \repeat volta 2 {music} I want to only 
have the viola do \arco at the second time through this particular repeat.  So 
can I put a custom text after the \volta repeat 2 {custom text, music} to let 
them know to do "arco" the second time? or what ever I decide to do? I might do 
"pizza"  for the first time and "arco" for the second time through. is this an 
easy thing to do? I tried looking up custom text but kind of got no ware. lol! 
This manual is huge! lol! and i cannot commit all of it to memory.

Take care all and be blessed.

Re: odd bar check errors

2013-05-12 Thread Noeck
Hi Sarah,

in the lines 114 and 169 your braces are still not right, they should be
after the \relative c command and not before.

In line 315 and 366, there is a closing brace missing (I suppose).

With these changes, LilyPond is able to compile it and the time
signatures are right (12/8). But there are some remaining issues:

* What do you intend with \repeat volta 1? Why would you want to put
something in a repeat that is not repeated.

* The octaves are probably not correctly set (up to 20 ledger lines).

* There are lots of failing bar checks, i.e. wrong durations.

* Wrong durations may be connected to full measure rests written as R1
instead of R1*12/8

* Linked to that, the durations of different staffs and voices do not
match, therefore you have a lot of additional repeat bars in the score.

* There are slurs starting but not ending.

I hope this helps you to proceed. A slightly corrected version (braces
and rests) is attached.

Cheers,
Joram

Notating bends

2013-05-12 Thread Jim Long
I was looking for the counterpart to bendAfter and found
that Lilypond does not define a 'bendBefore' function.

I located Valentin's workaround function 'bendStart' at

http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/bends-before-notes-how-to-tp22214p22218.html

but it doesn't compile for me under 2.16.2:

GNU LilyPond 2.16.2
Processing `bendStart.ly'
Parsing...
bendStart.ly:27:15: error: GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning

Two questions:

1) Is there an open feature request to add a \bendBefore
function to Lilypond, complementary to \bendAfter?

2) Meanwhile, is there a simple adjustment to Valentin's code 
at the URL above to make the workaround viable?

Thank you!

I had used mensural ones and they worked (i.e. were helpful for

How about using \markup to write such information?

c4^\markup "Pizz., 2nd time arco" d4 e4 f4

would put the directions above the staff; substituting an underscore for the 
carat would position the text below the staff.

I have slur marks. and I have not played the cello or viola in a while. Will 
the pizz  part even though it is slered will they know, play these separately, 
don't try and slur these notes because you logically cannot? Unless techniques

Rookie transpose / bookpart questions

2013-05-12 Thread Jim Long
I'm creating some jazz charts that require a transposed lead
sheet for a Bb or Eb instrument.  I haven't messed with \bookpart
much before.

The most obvious problem, and one that I knew was coming,
pertains to stroke marks in improvisation sections:

\version "2.16.2"

stemOff = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##t }
stemOn  = { \revert Staff.Stem #'transparent }

\score {
  \new Staff {
\relative f' { f4 g a c }
\improvisationOn  \stemOff
b'4 b' b' b'
\improvisationOff \stemOn
\relative f' { g4 a b d }
  }
}

Is there a better way to create the effect in measure 2?  It
looks fine until you transpose it, and then the b' notes get
transposed.  Is there either a way to wrap that second measure to
protect it from being transposed, or a better way altogether?

The attached example is expanded to illustrate transposition.
It produces a warning that I think I understand,

Transposing fes'' by beses' makes alteration larger than double

because I presume of an A double-flat chord with the fifth (E
double-flat) lowered to E triple-flat.


\version "2.16.2"

stemOff = { \override Staff.Stem #'transparent = ##t }
stemOn  = { \revert Staff.Stem #'transparent }

Melody = {
  \key e \major
  \relative f' { e4 fis gis b }
  \improvisationOn \stemOff
  b'4 b' b' b'
  \stemOn \improvisationOff
  \relative f' { fis4 gis a cis }
}

Chords = \chordmode { bes1:maj7.5- }

\score {
  <<
\new ChordNames \Chords
\new Staff \Melody
  >>
}

% this works, but transposes E major to an unfortunate C# major
\score {
  <<
\transpose ees c' \new ChordNames \Chords
\transpose ees c' \new Staff \Melody
  >>
}

%{ So I did this to get Db major (five flats instead of seven
sharps) but now the chord symbol is not transposed correctly.
Granted, even the "correct" answer of aeses:maj7.5- is not all
that great, but the transposed output shows a very different
chord nomenclature.

Be that as it may, what's the practical approach to fixing that
one chord in the transposed output?  The original key of E
calls out a bes:maj7.5- so I think in Db the best choice is
g:maj7.5-.  How do I accomplish that?  A special-case Ignatzek
exception or some such?  Is that the simplest way?  %}

Try adding this to the score block:

\score {
  % ...
  \layout {
\context {
  \Voice
  \consists "Pitch_squash_engraver"
}
  }
}

When typesetting slash notation, I use this snippet:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=332. You don't have to worry about
transposition because the slashes are really rests. (Also, it doesn't add
weird notes to the MIDI output.)

Re: How to get multiple text spanners at the same height?

I need to have a sequence of text spanners (like Rall --- en --- tan --- do)

The problem is that because of the varying height of objects on the stave, the 
following code places the different bits of text at different vertical 
positions.


Someone asked much the same question about cres - - cen - - do last 
month. My suggestion was along the lines of the following:

final touches to the score

2013-05-12 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Ok. can someone please go over the score and correct what I missed? I think I 
missed some braces and misplaced some accent marks but please let me know if 
the notes are in the proper ranges of the instruments as I'm still 1, learning 
them and 2, learning lily pond. I still could not get the bass drum and snare 
and symbol in lile the teacher wanted as I was unsure how to add those and I"m 
working on a misstranscribed copy in braille so some notes might be wrong, but 
I'll let my professor know

Also how will I get all of this to fit on 8.5 by 14 inch legal paper? what do I 
need to modify in the paper block to get this to print out correctly tomorrow? 
Attached is the ly file. You guys have been so so helpful and I'm just trying 
to fight my way through to the end of this project. lol!

Take care all and be blessed.

Grace note displayed exactly on beat (and not before)

2013-05-12 Thread Siska Ádám
Hello List,


I know about the \grace, \appoggiatura, \acciaccatura and \afterGrace commands 
which can be used in order to create grace notes. However, none of these would 
put a grace note exactly on the beat: they would either put it just after the 
`main' note (in the case of \afterGrace) or just before it (in all other 
cases). I was wondering how I would be able to put the grace note just on the 
beat.

To illustrate the idea, I attach an example (scanned from a piano score). This 
is not the actual scenario that I wish to typeset, but it illustrates my need 
quite clearly (I need to typeset a short passage in an orchestral score for one 
of the instruments, where the passage itself should start at the same time as 
the other instruments start to play).


Thank you for any help,
Ádám

> Ok. can someone please go over the score and correct what I missed? 

I found many errors when compiling of different kinds, mainly: lilypond
syntactic errors, bar check errors, and octave errors.

I don't know how to proceed. I could try to identify and locate some of the
errors for you to correct, or I could try to modify the file myself and
send it back to you. But that's risky, because from some obvious mistakes,
I don't know how the correct output should be. Also people with better
knowledge of Lilypond could contribute. 

Some syntactic errors i found are: in line 397 you wrote G4 (capital letter
G) instead of lowercase g (lilypond is case sensitive), and you wrote
\partial 8 in every music variable. The manual says "The \partial command
should be used only at the beginning of a piece.", and lilypond complained
about it when compiling. I deleted all the extra \partials, and I return
you the file with only these two corrections.

In my opinion the next thing would be taking care of the numerous bar
check errors. For example, in line 348, beginning of cello part, you have:
g8( b d g4.) g,8( b d 4.g) |

perhaps you meant:
g8( b d g4.) g,8( b d g4.) |

There are many others, but I suspect some (many?) are related to \repeat
problems. Someone else already called your attention that in some
places you're using \repeat 1, which makes me think that you got it wrong:
the number is the *total* number of times the expression will appear. So if
you want something repeated once, you should write \repeat 2, because
that's the total number of times it will appear. So check your \repeats. 

Once the bar checks are solved and everything is in place we should look at
the octave problems.

stylesheet structure

2013-05-12 Thread Kieren MacMillan
Hello all,

I'm working on putting together some "house style" stylesheets, and wanted to 
see if I had the best structure…

As one example, I'm tweaking up a Henle piano score stylesheet (e.g. Beethoven 
Piano Sonatas Urtext, ca. 1980):

1. Lilypond.ily
-- basic settings [that really should be Lilypond defaults!]

2. Score.ily
-- \Score context settings [that really should be Lilypond defaults!]
-- \include Lilypond.ily

3. PianoStaff.ily
-- \PianoStaff context settings [that really should be Lilypond defaults!]
-- \include Score.ily

4. Henle_house.ily
-- settings that are Henle- (but not piano-) specific

5. Henle_piano.ily
-- settings that are Henle-piano-specific
-- \include Henle_house.ily and \PianoStaff.ily

6. piano_Henle_concert.ily
-- final settings that make it all look like (e.g.) the Beethoven Piano Sonatas 
edition
-- \include Henle_piano.ily

Does that look like the best (i.e., most flexible) structure?

Thanks,
Kieren.

Ok. I correct what I could, but I'm having issues with the grace notes. I tried

Hi Tim,  Glad you've got Frescobaldi working except for Poppler.  I haven't 
tackled upgrading to 2.0.10 yet, but I previously got Poppler to work with 
2.0.8 by installing it through MacPorts.  Here's my current version info, if 
that's helpful:

Frescobaldi: 2.0.8
Python: 2.7.3
Qt: 4.8.4
PyQt4: 4.9.6
sip: 4.14.2
Operating System:
Darwin-12.3.0-x86_64-i386-64bit


And here are some notes I made for myself, FWIW:

Use macports to install:
- poppler (using +qt4 variant (also added +quartz variant, but that's probably 
not necessary))

- use terminal to install poppler-qt from their site as described on 
frescobaldi site
  (note: I had to add "sudo" before python "setup.py install" to get it to work)

Frescobaldi is tricky to install on Mac—Wilbert doesn’t have one
(which is fair enough), and the dependencies sometimes get a little
out of sync. You might have luck downgrading a couple things... I
think I still have the versions mentioned in this post:

https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/77#issuecomment-7265828

On my next computer I think I’ll install a virtual Linux partition and
run Frescobaldi and other other open source software off that.

I'm still having issues with the grace notes though.  I don't know what's up 
there. Any help, please?

Thanks and be blessed.

Re: Grace note displayed exactly on beat (and not before)

It is easiest to use normal notes and tell LilyPond that the durations
shorter than normal, say 1/4 the written length, with c'16*1/4 and
that the following note gets only a fraction of its full time.

<< 
 \new Staff \new Voice{ 
\new Voice {\teeny \override Flag  #'stroke-style = #"grace"
   \override Stem  #'no-stem-extend = ##t
\override Stem  #'length-fraction = #0.7
c'16*1/4\noBeam d' }
g'1*31/32 
  }
  \new Staff {b1} >>

The difficult thing was finding the \overrides to give the smaller
the style of grace notes. I copied the more-important ones from
a LilyPond startup file 'music-functions.scm'

I could not quickly figure out how to apply all the 'graceSettings
to the normal voice, but there is probably a way to do so and maybe
we should make a short command \graceSettings for that.

This same method is useful when we want to let grace notes overlap
earlier notes in another voice.

Some less-ugly version of 
graceSettings = \applyContext #
(lambda (context)
   (map (lambda (x) (ly:context-pushpop-property 
   context
   (cadr x)
   (caddr x)
   (cadddr x)))
(ly:context-property context 'graceSettings ))

and then we still need the bit with  Flag #'stroke-style =#"grace"
when we want the stroke through the grace notes

Re: odd bar check errors

2013-05-12 Thread Sarah k Alawami
Hello to the list. 

I notice that some of my grace notes are also causing the bar check errors but 
most of them I think are happening at the end  dog repeats where there's an 
incomplete measure as it was filling time so you can go back and repeat the 
anicrusis. 
Over all thats all I'm noting, that and the wrong octaves that I'm still not 
sure how to fix. sometimes I hate perfect pitch, like today.

Attached is the .ly file.

Take care.

Re: ANN: Frescobaldi 2.0.10

2013-05-12 Thread Andrew Bernard
Can I second that, re mac ports? The only way Frescobaldi seems to work 
on Mac OS X is to use the mac ports versions of the dependencies. 
Downloading them all individually and building them - I just can't make 
that approach work.


Try from mac ports:
