Re: reciting text over line breaks
Hi Benjamin,
assuming you have your music in a varible called e.g. \music you simply
put your verses like shown below and combine them as with any other
score. That should give you the desired result.
verse = \lyricmode {
It \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "is truly right
and just,"
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "our duty and"
our sal -- va -- tion,
a -- \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "ways and"
\once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "everywhere to"
give you thanks,
Lord, \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "holy Father,
almighty and e" -- ver -- last -- ing
}
HTH,
Michael

markup circle and sub
This code works well and create a rehearsal mark in a box
\version "2.19.80"
\mark \markup {*\box {A1}*}
Now I would like the same except for the number that should be in
subscript. What I should do? I tried this but does not work (it writes A

I copy and pasted your code, but I have not been able to hear any dynamics.
The midi volume looks always the same. I also tried with
dynamics = { s4\f\> s4*3 s4\! s4\p }
but no difference. Is there anything I'm missing?

I simplified the code but this also does not create any dynamics:

dynamics = {s4\p \< s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 s4 \!\f}
music = \fixed c' {c d e f c d e f}

\box will apply to each item in a subsequent list,
unless you give the list to another command, like \concat, first.

In ly/performer-init.ly I read
\context {
\type "Performer_group"
\name Voice
\consists "Dynamic_performer"
\consists "Tie_performer"
\consists "Piano_pedal_performer"
\consists "Note_performer"
\consists "Beam_performer"
\consists "Slur_performer"
}
so dynamics are performed at Voice level, but you change them in a
_different_ Voice.
Try \new Staff { \new Voice <<\music \dynamics>>} instead in order to
get the dynamics into the same voice.

Still a redundant brace pair.
\mark \markup \box \concat {A \sub 1}

Some section about contexts.
\new Staff { << \music \dynamics >> }
in this case (where neither \music nor \dynamics contain extra
context-relevant instructions) is roughly equivalent to
\new Staff { << \new Voice \music \new Voice \dynamics >> }

Re: reciting text over line breaks
Yes, but I want to allow line breaks in the middle of those breves if it
makes sense for line breaks to occur there. This is actually the way I had
been doing it, but it is a tedious process of trial and error to figure out
that, e.g., the line should break after "and" in "always and everywhere",
and I'd really like to find a way to make this automatic.

I suppose it depends on whether you're trying to duplicate the effect
of that publication or not. I take my cue from the first two lines,
and set everyhing ragged-right. Each linebreak occurs either at a
barline or a breath.
The benefits are that you're less likely to get lost on the page,
especially when the text is unfamiliar, or in Latin, or one syllable's
melisma is spread over two lines. And you can see where each breath
and phrase has to reach. These benefit the cantor and the choir.
The downsides are that it takes up more room (which is why newspapers
justify narrow columns), and some people just think that everything
must be justified. These benefit the congregation if they're given
copies.
Even with the Mark and John passion gospels, there wasn't enough text
to consider automating it. I would imagine there'll be scheming
involved, which is beyond my capabilities anyway. Sorry.
> > It \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT "is truly right

ll = \lyricmode { \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT }
cc = \lyricmode { \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #CENTER }
rr = \lyricmode { \once \override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT }
or suchlike is handy in any score.

David.

Increasing spacing between staves
Is there some way of increasing or specifying the space between the 2 staves of a piano staff at a particular point in a score? The piece I am setting has a lot of cross-staff beams, and sometimes Lilypond does not allow enough space between the staves for a decent- looking beam. In those cases I would like to force a greater space between the 2 staves just for that particular printed line of music. I do not wish to alter the minimum staff spacing globally. But the particular points where extra spacing is needed may not occur at the beginning of a line, and of course the spacing of the whole line must be changed. Can this be done?

Hi David,

Yes. Simply use this code to taste:

(padding . 0))

If you don't want to set it up globally with \new Staff, you can still
of course use the same override as needed throughout the piece, etc.
The padding is the main value you can change...
(see attached)
\version "2.19.80"

\new PianoStaff \with {
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing = #'(

Hi list members, Lily naturally spaces measures beautifully when there are no lyrics, but when lyrics are added, she gets thrown off quite a bit.

This would be a mess at first, but I feel it might be helpful for me in the long run.

You could try adding yet another voice, just for the rests:
\\ { \notemode { c'8\rest } }
and replacing your r8 with s8

I actually can't get that to work on any 2.19 release (at least up to 62, can't confirm beyond that at the moment), but I also didn't realize that my solution was throwing errors so that's no good. Sorry about that. What about this: \override Lyrics.LyricText.X-extent = #'(0 . 0) This works for me as expected.

New User introduction
Hello, I am a new user to this list and would like to introduce myself. I am a totally blind musician and have been playing piano since I was 3-years-old. I came across LilyPond in my efforts to find a free-ware software that I can write out my music for sheep music purposes, and thus, Lilypond came up. I run Mac OS X 10.13, High Sierra, and as I use the Voiceover screen reader do to me being blind, I find LilyPond is very unique. I'm just blown away how you can just write text, and Lilypond is able to translate it into actual music scores and sheep music, totally awesome! I hope to figure out the syntax of Lilypond and write all the music I compose on my keyboard, a Cassio CTK7000, and store said music as sheep music for which I wrote in Lilypond. I hope that by me subscribing to this list, I can learn awesome things about Lilypond. Have an wesome day. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: New User introduction
Welcome, Daniel Chavez - I hope LilyPond is a help to your transcription efforts. I've been using LilyPond for a number of years now, and find that the documentation and the community are a great support. I hope you have a way to find your way around in the documentation.

mix dynamic within markup on single note
I am trying to place "submit" markings after dynamics, but I would like the
dynamics to be the actual default dynamic font as opposed to bold text.
Here is my current hacky approach:
%%
\version "2.18.2"
{
\time 4/4
d'4\pp fis' fis'\fermata bes'-\markup{\bold "ff" \italic "sub."}
}
%
Any best practices to doing this? If I try to put the "\ff" within the
markup i get an error, but I know you can put notepads and things within
markup since I have done that before ...

Re: mix dynamic within markup on single note
Sorry should read *"submit"* not submit.

Newbie having trouble with transposition(s)
Another first-time LilyPond poster/user here!
I've been using LilyPond for about a week now and I'm really loving it
already.
I'm a brass player who is using LilyPond to create beautiful engravings for
brass ensembles. I'm also an engineer who wishes he was better at
programming and LilyPond.
Anyway, I'm starting by transcribing/arranging string quartets for the
standard brass quartet (2 trumpets in B flat, 1 horn in F and 1 trombone in
C). The string parts are all non-transposing instruments.
Because I plan to do a lot of these, I'd like to get my templates *perfect*
before moving past the first one. So far, I've managed to create a *single*
input files that does everything (produces all the PDFs ... score and
parts).
I've got most of the basics working however I'm having trouble with the
transpositions. They aren't working as I expected. I thought the
transposition function would take care of putting the parts into the right
key. But, all of the parts have a key signature of d minor (one flat) (no
key signature transposition is happening).
Please help me if you can.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
Here is my minimalist Tiny code.
\version "2.18.2"
\header { ... }
% Global definitions
global = {
\time 2/2
\key d \minor
s1*78
\bar "|."
}
%*
TrumpetOne = \new Voice {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trumpet I in Bb"
\clef treble
\transpose bes c' {
\relative c'' {
...
}
}
}
%*
TrumpetTwo = \new Voice {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trumpet II in Bb"
\clef treble
\transpose bes c' {
\relative c' {
...
}
}
}
%*
Horn = \new Voice {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Horn in F"
\clef treble
\transpose f c' {
\relative c' {
...
}
}
}
%*
Trombone = \new Voice {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trombone"
\clef bass
\relative c {
...
}
}
}
%**
music = {
<<
\tag #'score \tag #'trpI \new Staff { << \global \TrumpetOne >> }
\tag #'score \tag #'trpII \new Staff { << \global \TrumpetTwo>> }
\tag #'score \tag #'horn \new Staff { << \global \Horn>> }
\tag #'score \tag #'trbn \new Staff { << \global \Trombone>> }
>>
}
%**
% Print the score and create a midi file
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "Score"
#(set-global-staff-size 14)
\score {
\header { piece = "Score" }
\bookOutputSuffix "Score"
\new StaffGroup \keepWithTag #'score \music
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
}
%*
% Print the TrumpetOne part
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "TrumpetOne"
\score {
\header { piece = "Trumpet I" }
\keepWithTag #'trpI \music
\layout { }
}
}
etc.
