Please _always_ remember to state the version of LilyPond you are having
problems with.  I see that this question answered itself already, but
it's actually impossible to pinpoint stuff if you don't give the version
number.  For example, there have been about 4 or 5 different commits
regarding EOF behavior since version 2.16.0 alone.

To be precise, only when you use "override-like" syntax \shape can
affect multiple slurs (see p.6 of pdf).

Of course.

Actually, probably the most convenient way to use \shape is to write
it in yet another way - like a \tweak:

{
  c''1-\shapeII #'((2 . 0)) ( c'')
}

using it like this will only affect one curve.

Re: Ambitus not in the beginning

[Kai Lautenschläger]

Hello again,

I have been fiddling around with the ideas and solutions I got from you and 
came up with a combination of

1. using a \new Voice with ambitus at a certain point in my score. (Thanx Janek)
2. using the \noAmbitusAtLineEnd definition by David from a post in July.
3. the new \omit function.

The score's first two systems should look like this:

1. System: 2 staves (for tenors + piano without Ambitus) --> "2" in the example 
below
2. System: 6 staves (sopranos, altos, tenors, basses + piano with an ambitus 
for each vocal voice) --> "1" in the example below

The linebreak is within a measure, letting the 2. system start with an upbeat.

As you can see in the following not so tiny example inserting the ambitus makes 
the \RemoveEmptyStaves command ineffective. I suppose that is, because there is 
a ambitus at the end of the first Staff in the 1. Voice (unvisible due to 
\noAmbitusAtLineEnd). 

Is there any way to remove the empty first line never the less?

would be thrilled about any hints…

best regards,
Kai

 Just use an ambitus engraver in each of the tenor voices (one with an

hi

first I omitted the midi part.

then I converted to the 2.17.96 which is what I have installed.

and finally I moved /#(set-global-staff-size 14.45)/ out of the \book into
the top-level context and there were no more warnings.

is there a reason why you put it inside the \book?

formatting a text before the score

[olicha]

Hi,
In order to give the context of a short waltz I wrote for a performance of a
play by Chekhov, I am trying to insert three cues of the play before the score.
Here is my code:
\markup  { \abs-fontsize #12
  \column {
\vspace #1
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
\left-align {\line { \italic {Anton Tchekhov}}}
  }
}

two problems:
- line spacing between two lines of a wrapped line (Gaiev's cue) is bigger
than between independent lines. I cannot find how to modify that.
- I'd like to right align the author's name but writting "right" instead of
"left" just push it further to the left and it gets clipped.

Thank for any help

Re: formatting a text before the score

[Ryan McClure]

I'm working on the first problem still. However, give this a try for the 
name:


\markup{ \fill-line{ \line{ } \line { \italic{Anton Tchekhov


Basically, this fills an entire line. By having two lines inside the 
fill-line, it spaces one on the left and one on the right. The first one 
is empty, hence the { }. The second one, right-aligned, is the name



I'll get back to you as soon as I figure out the top part.

By the way, what version of LilyPond are you running?

Re: formatting a text before the score

[ryanmichaelmcclure]

Try this for the first part:

\markup{ 
  \abs-fontsize #12 \column { 
\vspace #1 \wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\hspace #0 
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
  }
}

Putting \hspace #0 puts an invisible space there to keep them from
colliding. So, the final product would be:

\markup{ 
  \abs-fontsize #12 \column { 
\vspace #1 \wordwrap {LIOUBOV On dirait qu'il y a de la musique quelque
part.\italic {(Elle écoute.)}
}
\wordwrap {GAÏEV C'est notre fameux orchestre juif. Tu te rappelles,
quatre violons, une flûte et une contrebasse. 
}
\hspace #0 
\wordwrap {LIOUBOV Tiens, il existe toujours! Il faudrait l'inviter, à
l'occasion organiser une petite soirée. 
}
  }
}
\markup{ \fill-line{ \line{ } \line { \italic{Anton Tchekhov

Let us know if you need anything else! :)

The option to install and run Linux on a rooted Android device, and then

Very interesting!  I think this is a bug in LilyPond, not my function

Fortunately other methods (e.g. an ordinary offset) work correctly.

Depends on your needs. A couple of gigs (external) SDcard is cheap, and
modern phones often have 1GB of RAM or more. Processing a reasonable
6-8 page score could take a couple of minutes.

But a more interesting question is: why would one want to do this? I
carry most of my scores in PDF format on my 10.1" tablet, but I see no
added value in being able to run the .ly files through LP on the tablet.

Maybe the OP can shed some light on the backgrounds of his question?

I'm not surprised it doesn't work anymore. With recent improvements in
lilypond there is a different technique that you should consider:

pattern = #(define-music-function (parser location p1 p2 p3 p4 p5)
(ly:pitch? ly:pitch? ly:pitch? ly:pitch? ly:pitch?)
#{ $p1 32 $p2 ( $p3 $p4 ) $p5 8 -! #})

...

\pattern c c' e c g  % results in => c32 c'( e c) g8-!

The same can be done with one pitch instead.

That works excellently! Thanks Jay! It's nice to get help from the guy who
wrote the snippet. :)

Jay, did you submit that snippet to the LSR? If you did, would it be
possible to get it updated? It is a wonderful snippet and a HUGE
timesaver!!! :)
