Warning: g_spawn_sync failed (0): gs: Failed to execute helper program (Invalid argument)
Hi, I downloaded the latest unstable branch (2.19.65) and tried compiling a score. Afterwards, gspawn-win32-helper.exe got quarantined in my AntiVirus software (McAfee), which has never happened to me before on any of the stable or unstable branches.

Ambitus with shape notes
Hi all, As a newbie to this wonderful software I have a slightly odd request. I set vocal music using shape notes (\sacredHarpHeads or \aikenHeads). I've recently discovered the ambitus function, which is really useful. I wonder, is it possible to add the correct shaped noteheads to the ambitus at the start of a score, instead of ordinary round noteheads? Thanks in advance, Barry ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I just installed 2.19.65 on my Windows 10 Pro system with plain vanilla Microsoft Defender and everything works just nicely. I therefor would (hesitantly) point my finger towards McAfee and/or your system. You could try to uninstall/reinstall 2.19.65 and then disable McAfee and see if the problem persists. You may also file a bugreport/complaint with McAfee. Kind regards, Michael ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Ambitus with shape notes
Hi Barry, unfortunately I do not have a ready-made solution - while it's possible to change the ambitus note heads to a single specific sign by issuing (for example) \override AmbitusNoteHead.style = #'do in the \layout block, this is not a solution since it changes both ambitus note heads at the same time -, I just want to point out an inherent problem: As far as I understand, \sacredHarpHeads and \aikenHeads depend on the key signature chosen (in much the same way that movable do syllables do). So, it's a bit dodgy to issue ambitus information using these signs since the key signature might change in the course of the piece. (Strictly speaking, the ambitus signs occur at a place before a key signature is issued - but this slight inconsistency applies to ambitus marks in general since they show note heads *left* to the first clef ever encountered by the singer.)

Thanks, but I found the solution. I simply inserted gspawn-win32-helper.exe into the McAfee excluded list for Real-Time Scanning. And, just to make sure, I also inserted gspawn-win32-helper-console.exe there too. Also, I apologize for mispelling "with" as "ewith" in the third sentence of my previous post.

lyrics with alternatives in brackets
Hi List, I'm transcribing a cantata in Latin, and the last section has two verses, each of which includes alternative versions of the text. My Latin is nonexistent, so I don't know why this would be, but here's an example (transcribed as best I can) of what it looks like: 1 [ qua ] te ro go, [a ni - mæ] in coe - li [culmi - ne,] da [queis] [ a ni - mis] [ gaudi - is,] 2 re - cre a bit, san gui nic [e -i-dem] guttu- lam, si [e-is-dem] So, I need to be able to have two separate verses (I can do that per NR2.1.2), but how do I include the alternate words *within* each verse? Is there some voodoo I could do that would make such a thing possible? Thanks for the help, A ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Ambitus with shape notes
Hi Barry,
nevertheless, here is a working solution (derived from
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/advanced-tweaks-with-scheme).
Beware though: The notehead style is chosen here on a by-sounding-pitch
basis, so it has to be adapted for pieces in another key. But for the
reasons I explained, I'm not sure that this is not basically "right".
Of course, there certainly is a way to write a routine in such a way that
you can give the desired style and desired key signature once while issuing
\override AmbitusNoteHead.style = ... - the routine then rotate the note
heads around accordingly - but this exceeds both my scheme skills and
available time :-).

Re: Ambitus with shape notes
Amazing, thanks Lukas!
I'll play around with this later but at first glance it looks like it ought
to be able to do what I'd like.
Regarding your point about key changes within a piece, it's luckily not
really relevant to me since the kind of music that's written using shape
notes almost never changes key.
Cheers!

OpenType in LilyPond
Hi list,
if I understand correctly LilyPond already supports OpenType features
and this will be documented in the next version (changes already have
been pushed to master). Is this only for use in markup \overrides or can
you select features document-wide? This would be nice:
\paper {
#(define fonts
(set-global-fonts
#:music "cadence"
#:brace "cadence"
#:roman "Vollkorn" % Can this be Vollkorn with OT feature ss13?
#:factor (/ staff-height pt 20)
))
}

setting ragged-right at a specific forced break
Hi, I'm trying to figure out a way so that when I force a line break using \break, I can have the line that breaks there act as though ragged-right were set in the layout block. For a better understanding, I will explain *why*: I am putting line breaks so that each new verse of a hymn starts on a new system, but I don't want the last system of each verse stretched out so much. This is somewhat more common perhaps in Gregorian chant, and I am using this override so that the last system's staff extends to the right side of the page, even though ragged-last is on: > \override StaffSymbol #'width = #(lambda (grob) > > (ly:output-def-lookup (ly:grob-layout grob) 'line-width)) > > So if there is some way of adding as much empty space as will fit on a line before a break, that could work too. What I basically want is for systems that end with an automatic line break to be justified, but for those that end with my manually specified \break to be ragged-right.

Re: setting ragged-right at a specific forced break
Perhaps I will have to. The reason I haven't done it yet, is because this is part of a bigger project, in which only some verses of some hymns are laid out this way, and the lyrics and melodies are all pulled from a database, so it is convenient for the different options within hymns to be as small as possible. Perhaps using multiple scores will be the only way to do it though.

I cannot answer the question you asked.
However, when I've run into similar warnings, I was able to get them to go
away by adding dynamic endpoints to all hairpins and crescendi.
You don't need to print the dynamic, but you need to define one.
I followed someone's advice and defined a bunch of non-printing dynamics:
xppp = \tweak stencil ##f \ppp
xpp = \tweak stencil ##f \pp
xp = \tweak stencil ##f \p
xmp = \tweak stencil ##f \mp
xmf = \tweak stencil ##f \mf
xf = \tweak stencil ##f \f
xff = \tweak stencil ##f \ff
xfff = \tweak stencil ##f \fff
{
% Possible error when you don't define a dynamic endpoint (you've only
defined the grob endpoint)
c1\mp 1\< 1\! }
% Define the dynamic endpoint, too
c1\mp 1\< 1\xmf
}

I did some of the work on that feature. It currently can't be globally
enabled. I'd need to explore a bit more to figure it out how to make it
available globally, but seems like it should be doable. I can't promise
anything soon though.
