custom markup for \tempo

2014-04-04 Thread Simon Bailey 
hello, the list!

i have constructed the following:

%%% SNIP %%%
#(define-markup-command
  (nbTempo layout props expression beat tempo)
  (markup? string? markup?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
#{
  \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\column {
  \concat { \teeny { \raise #0.5 { \note #beat #UP } } \normal-text
{ " = " #tempo } }
  \normal-text #expression
}
  }
#}
)
  )

\relative c' {
  \tempo \markup \nbTempo "a tempo" #"4" "90"
  c1 c1
}
%%% SNAP %%%

however, I would like to replace the convoluted call "\tempo \markup
\nbTempo" with just "\nbTempo".

How would I go about this? As an added bonus, the midi tempo could also be
set in this function.

Thanks, regards,
sb

Make nbTempo a music function that accepts the arguments and calls the
markup command (which I renamed to nbTempomkup). Like this:


%%% SNIP %%%
#(define-markup-command
  (nbTempomkup layout props expression beat tempo)
  (markup? string? markup?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
#{
  \markup {
\override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
\column {
  \concat {
\teeny { \raise #0.5 { \note #beat #UP } } \normal-text
{ " = " #tempo }
  }
  \normal-text #expression
}
  }
#}))

nbTempo = #
(define-music-function
 (parser location expression beat tempo)
 (markup? string? markup?)
 #{
   \tempo \markup \nbTempomkup #expression #beat #tempo
 #})

\relative c' {
  \nbTempo "a tempo" #"4" "90"
  c1 c1
}
%%% SNAP %%%

Best!

Shorten ledger lines

2014-04-04 Thread Urs Liska 

Hi,

a question that has been asked by several people recently: Can ledger 
lines be shortened explicitly?
I have only found info about automatic shortening together with 
accidentals. But there are cases where one wants to shorten them 
manually, particularly for very dense spacing.


Is that possible with LilyPond?

Hi Urs,
you could try:

\override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.length-fraction = 0.5

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed :-)

Somehow I thought this must be possible with a property override but

Thanks again. Comments below.


You're very welcome!

 

That didn't work - LP complains about an unwanted comma. Replacing by a space 
or adding spaces don't work either. I'm still trying to work my head around the 
meta-syntax (which doesn't seem to be documented) in the Notation manual's 
appendix A which is the only place that \alterBroken appears.

Oh, oops.  That comma should be a dot.  Sometimes I can't see the difference!

So Score.SystemStartBrace ...

The documention in "Available music functions" that you're reading is all there 
is for 2.16.  Full documentation wasn't written for the function until syntax 
changes had happened to it.  There is complete documentation for 2.18 at 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-broken-spanners

You can use the examples there in 2.16 by swapping arguments, but you can't use 
\alterBroken as a tweak (which is the chief advantage gained by the reordering 
of arguments).

You might consider upgrading, as there have been quite a few improvements to 
LilyPond besides this!

Hi Paul,

I'm not sure if I'm able to answer your question 100% but, fwiw, I use this:

$lilypond -dpoint-and-click -ddelete-intermediate-files $include --pdf
$filename

as an example, and if I want MIDI, I include something like this:

lilypond … -dmidi-extension=midi testfile.ly

So perhaps there is a way to reverse that? Sorry, that's all I can think
of...

Ben

Are you using  \midi blocks then, I assume? but you want to suppress them?

the next step?

2014-04-04 Thread b...@wolfcomposer.com 
Dear All,

A friend of mine asked a few questions about a pipe-organ piece i'd written that
was performed recently.  i ended up making two sheets of examples for him, one
with a table of canons in two voices
 ,
the other in four
 .

When i started making these, i thought of arranging them in two columns on a
single page.  To keep the numbers readable, i decided against this.  However, i
remain curious.  Is it possible to divide a page into columns?  i know that text
can be arranged into columns, and the Internals mention a PaperColumn and its
appropriate engravers and contexts.  Having read the sections on page and score
layout, i couldn't find anything that explicitly addressed this problem.  i am
working (still?!) in 2.14.2, so the next step just might be an update.

If anybody wants to listen
 , i'd be
honored.  The organist is Amelia Javorina.  i apologize for the audience noise,
but it's the best that could be done given the circumstances.

Thanks, All, and please take care.

Hi Ben,  Yes, that's it.  Given a file with a \midi block, looking for a way
to suppress midi output from the command line.  It doesn't seem like it
doesn't exist.  (I tried your command and the midi was still produced...)

I'm 99.999% sure that it's not possible to do what you're after, /unless
/you comment out/delete the MIDI block. I think?

Are you able to comment it out or does that interfere somehow?

Sorry I couldn't help more!

Yes, I can just comment it out, or delete the midi file afterwards, so it's
no problem.  I just thought there might be a command line option that would
work instead.

Not really a lilypond commandline option, but on my linux commandline I 
could do a one line command like


lilypond my_example.ly && rm -f my_example.midi

Well, issue 1933
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1933> would
suggest that this is a bad idea.  Nothing substantially has changed
since then.  I'm currently trying to get the TEXINPUTS stuff integrated
into the Mingw fix to arrive back at a working lilypond-book, but of
course it is to be hoped that moving Python forward to 2.6 might make
that problem go away.  But it will take longer to figure that out.

Our current 2.4.5 Python aborts with an error traceback even when doing

exit(0)

which is sort of ridiculous.
