Survey on the use of \transparent in markups
Hey all,
Do any of you have scores where you use the \transparent command in markups?
For example,
{
c''4^\markup \transparent \draw-circle #10 #1 ##f r4 c''2^"foo" |
}
I'm doing some work on development and it would be useful to see how
\transparent is used in real scores.
Cheers,

2nd time only
hi,
i'm typesetting a piano piece for a young composer, and he has a descrescendo
in one repetition which should only be played the second time.
in his score, it's labelled "2. x: >" (see attached original-snippet.png). this
is perfectly comprehensible for anybody who speaks german, i'm not sure if
anyone else would understand it though… what would be the most international
way of writing this? my current ideas are "2nd x:" or some abbreviation of
"[solo] seconda volta" (probably \markup { \concat { "solo 2" \super "a" "
x."}} ).
does anyone have any other suggestions?
regards,
sb

No attachment. The normal way of saying this is to use "2nd time only" in

Hm, difficult.
I'd suggest _not_ to use English except the score is specifically meant
for such an international market.
If you have problems with German and don't find a language-agnostic
solution I find Italian still the most appropriate language.
OTOH I wouldn't consider "2. x" a problem (but maybe that's because I
_am_ German ...). But please use a lowercase x (as you wrote in your
message, but different from the png).
And what about "2. *" ?

You use an X here. That's the wrong character. Try using × instead,

Well, it is documented somewhere: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Emacs-Server.html>. Arguably, it may be somewhat optimistic for the LilyPond documentation to assume that prospective Emacs users would already have catered to having a working emacs-server setup. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

david,
this is the original score the composer sent me from finale. i used \markup {
\normal-text "2. ×:" } (see snipped png).

the composer titled the piece "Piano Piece 3" so i don't think there should be

If the title is English you surely can write "2nd time only" as Phil
suggested.
What about other performance indications throughout the piece?

Re: Put the text on the left above a centered note
Thank you, Thomas. In fact, I was interested in having the expressions "Fa" and "Sib" on the left of the bae, and not centered as they are now. But let's assume that they should be good to me as they are: there is no way to have the expressions a little closer to the pentagram and not so high? What do I have to change in the code?

Conditionally setting variables in \paper section
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi Folks
I am trying to modify an shared include file the allow it to switch
the score that uses it between A4 "normal" mode and an cut-down A5
form (for an e-book reader).
I can make set-paper-size conditional using a $(if construct but can't
find a way to conditionally set the margins. I've constructed a tiny
example showing what I have trouble with (it no longer shows my motive
but does show my problem).
- --- cut here ---
\version "2.16.2"
\paper {
$(if (ly:get-option 'binder-margins) #{
left-margin = 20
line-width = 180
#})
}
\score \relative { c4 d e f g a b c }
- --- cut here ---
When run "lilypond -dbinder-margins" it issues the following:
- --- cut here ---
test.ly:6:14: error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting end of input
left-margin
= 20
test.ly:5:0: error: error in #{ ... #}
$(if (ly:get-option 'binder-margins) #{
test.ly:5:0: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING_IDENTIFIER
$(if (ly:get-option 'binder-margins) #{
- --- cut here ---
It works fine without the -dbinder-margins (but then I don't get the
margins set up for a ring binder).
I've tried many "random" things including replacing the lilypond-style
assignment with #(define left-margin 20) but just cannot make it work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Daniel.

Well, inside of #{ ... #} there is music by default. If you want to
have an output block, you need to place it there. For me,
\version "2.16.2"
\paper {
$(if (ly:get-option 'binder-margins) #{
\paper {
left-margin = 20
line-width = 5
}
#})
}
\score { \relative { c4 d e f g a b c } }
appears to do the trick.

system and staff spacing
Hello all,
I have been trying to modify the distance between systems and staves, but I
found it somehow difficult to understand. I am using the following code (on
which I added the a \paper snippet):
\version "2.17.24"
\paper {
system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #8
score-system-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 12)
(minimum-distance . 6)
(padding . 1)
(stretchability . 12))
}
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 200 { a4 b c' d' }
}
I was playing with the values of the snippet above, and the only line that
affects something is the *system-system-spacing. *All parameters of
*score-system-spacing
*seem to do nothing here, even though it is defined in the reference as
"the distance between the last system of a score and the first system of
the score that follows it, when no (title or top-level) markup exists
between them."
Also, in another score of mine (which has more than one staff per system,
and it has several systems per page), I altered the *system-system-spacing
#'basic-distance* to various values but couldn't see any difference.
Could someone please direct me to a page where I can learn more about this?
Thanks a lot!

polymetics in piano
Hello:
In a previous thread
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-08/msg00673.html), a
Chopin Nocturne was discussed that has polymetrics starting on the second
page of the score. I have looked at the .ly file (attached) and have a
minimal understanding of the "\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4
8)" command. Where in the manual can I find a detailed explanation -
especially the role of the two numbers?
My particular goal is to write one 9/4 measure against three 3/4 measures.
Thank you.
Mark
