Re: Running Lilypond from Fraise

Hello,

Don't know Fraise, but if that may help : you menu entry should run:

/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond

be that textually placed there or in shell script of yours.

Re:8 marking on piano piece

2013-06-28 Thread Peter Toye
Phil,

In addition to the comments from Kieren and David, I should point out that the 
"8" sign is ambiguous. Some composers use it to add the lower octave (as here), 
others to play an octave lower (Debussy's Cathedrale Engloutie is an example), 
and you have to work out which one is meant, usually on musical grounds or 
parallel passages. If you look at the two settings of "hope nor love" in this 
song, you'll see that RVW (or the publisher) has used both notations, which 
makes it easy to work out what's needed.

But I'm a bit worried that you're setting the Songs of Travel at all. RVW died 
in 1958 and is still in copyright, at least in the UK (I don't know where you 
are). At any normal rate, the time taken to typeset it worth far more than 
buying a copy from a shop! Of course, a programmer is someone who spends a week 
programming something to save himself 5 minutes.

I'm doing it for 2 reasons, both primarily for my own use.   Firstly as a 
type-setting exercise, since some of the Song of Travel are interesting to 
re-set.  Secondly, I may sing them for my college recital and so I create 
computerised versions so I can learn the notes.  That said, I would use 
these versions for the accompanist, but that's allowed for in the copyright 
regulations.


I have uploaded one to IMSLP, but it's clear there that this is not 
copyright free in the EU, although it is in Canada, where it's hosted.  So I 
believe everything I've done so far is within the allowable regulations.

… and this led to your conclusions above

a manual workaround to reposition the natural sign more correctly is

\once {
  \override Accidental.font-size = #-20
  \override Accidental.Y-offset = #1
}

in the upper voice.

Barline after time signature

2013-06-28 Thread Andrew Bernard

Greetings List,

The contemporary piece I am setting uses barlines right after every 
change of time signature, before any notes. I am unable to see how to do 
this. If I manually place a barline in this location lilypond ignores 
the instruction. Can this be done?


Using version 2.17.20.

I remember that someone (most probably Harm or David N) wrote code

Nope,
what they did for me was a) printing double barlines before key 
signatures (but in the usual place before the key signature) and not 
printing a time signature when it's the same as currently in effect.

Unfortunately both won't help you.

What I'd try first is _moving_ the time signature with its x-offset. But 
I don't know if that will lead anywhere.

Hight Andrew,

You can use this snippet :

for ex:

\version "2.17.20"

\defineBarLine "o|" #'("" "|" "")

\relative c'' {
  \once \override Score.BreakAlignment.break-align-orders =
#(make-vector 3 '(instrument-name
  left-edge
  ambitus
  breathing-sign
  clef
  key-signature
  time-signature
  staff-bar
  custos))
  \once \override Staff.TimeSignature.space-alist =
#'((first-note . (fixed-space . 2.0))
(right-edge . (extra-space . 0.5))
(staff-bar . (extra-space . 1))) \bar "o|"
  c c c c
}

The part of your question involving the shift of the time signature
might be solved by something like this:

\relative c' { c d e f
\override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders = #(
   make-vector 3 '(
   time-signature
   span-bar
   breathing-sign
   staff-bar

 ) )
\time 3/4 c d e
\time 4/4 c d e f
}

Well, judging from your picture, you have the magic of changing the
meter silently pat.  So instead of making a real mess in order to get
two bars of \time 4/4 count as one, why don't you just make a single bar
of \compoundTime #'((4 4) (4 4)) instead and manually place the \bar ";"
(or what it was) in the middle?  Because frankly: having two bar numbers
"4" right after another is not looking good to me, either.  You might
need to look at the beaming exceptions to use, but that looks saner to
me than rewinding the bar counter.

My real piece of music doesn't have bar numbers every bar, and the place 
where I want to not count a bar number is a change from 4/4 time to 3/4 
time, so in the real case, subtracting one from the bar number looks 
perfectly good and reproduces the original piece of music exactly.

Well, \compoundTime #'((4 4) (3 4)) for that siamese twin bar should
likely work as well.  I'm just throwing this out as an option that looks
a bit more straightforward from the LilyPond input side.  As opposed to
a real bar, it should be a bit more robust against strange things
happening when LilyPond chooses its line break just there.

Of course, with this approach accidentals carry over from one half of
the bar to the next.  That may or may not be desirable.

The other complicating factor is that I do 99.9% of my music layout in the 
shareware program Noteworthy composer, and so it helps if it's relatively 
simple to convert something from that syntax to lilypond.  In this case, 
I've set it up so that inserting a hidden bar line in Noteworthy causes your 
code to kick in and "uncount" the measure number increment.  I fancy that 
trying to convince Noteworthy to handle compound time might be more 
problematic

Why do you think so?  As a frequent choral accompanist, I can tell you
there are a number of choral competitions that require proof of legal

You may be right -- I'm just curious to know if you have a reference.

I neglected this point in my hasty instructions; when you use the
