I understand. Unfortunately I cannot find a way to use the remove-layer technique with \partcombine (see attached file). I'd like to hide the top staff while maintaining the staff group between bar 19-24 for the difficult passage. Is there a way to achieve this? In other words there are four notations that I'd need to achieve for divisi: unisono, divisi (a2, a3, etc.) on same voice & same staff, divisi on different voices & same staff, divisi on different staves. > > > Finally, adding a \shortInstrumentName in the StaffGroup gives an > > error, but the resulting pdf is otherwise correct. > > instrumentName and shortInstrumentName are both siple property > definitions, not variables or functions so the \ is not needed; just > instrumentName = "something".

Strange error from define-syntax
Dear Ponders & Schemers, I wanted to try creating a simple Scheme macro. I've never done this before, so I may well be going about it all wrong, but the error I get doesn't make sense. Here is a minimal non-working example: \version "2.20.0" #(use-modules (ice-9 syncase)) #(define-syntax set-default (syntax-rules () ((set-default name value) (if (eqv? name 'UNDEF) name value) ))) #(define some-setting 44) #(set-value some-setting 99) #(ly:message "some-setting = ~a\n" some-setting) This gives the error: Wrong number of arguments to #> Huh? I also tried define-syntax-rule, which came up unbound. Any insights into what I'm doing wrong would be welcome. Thanks, John
When (in seconds) does each page begin?
I would like to obtain timing information to tell me at how many seconds
into the score each page begins. I have had a go at this, and failed. So
I'm now looking for answers to two questions:
1. How to obtain this output from lilypond (e.g. a file listing the
number of seconds into the score at which each page begins.), and
2. Why does my attempt (see below) not work? I'm new to this type of
deeper digging into lilypond, and I hope to learn from my mistakes.
What have I tried so far?
I guessed that the page-break-event might occur at the times of interest
to me.
Looking at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/saving-music-events-to-a-file,
I modified event-listener.ly in an attempt to catch the
page-break-event, like so:
% New function to handle the event:
#(define (format-page engraver event)
(print-line engraver
"page"))
% add a listener for the event:
#(define event-listener-engraver
(make-engraver
(listeners
(page-break-event . format-page)
(tempo-change-event . format-tempo)
(rest-event . format-rest)
etc ...
This didn't produce the output I was looking for (no 'page' in the
generated .notes files)
So I wondered (just guessing) if I needed to change the context to which
event-listener-engraver was being added, do I changed that as follows:
\layout {
\context {
%\Voice %% try a broader context :Score:
\Score
\consists #event-listener-engraver
}
}
No joy.
My final hack was to add handling for the line-break-event and
page-turn-event. Again no joy.
I am out of my depth. Have I perhaps just exposed the fact that I don't
properly understand the interplay between events, contexts and
engravers? Is there some difference between the page-break-event and the
the events that are properly handled by event-listener.ly ?

Thank you, David, for your quick response. I'm not sure what you mean by "stick to macros". I thought define-syntax was the way to define a macro. What am I missing?

Some of them I have seen before, but I'm not keen on a solution that requires patching lilypond. The others, I will look into. Yes- as you suspected, I want to make videos. My initial needs are very basic - just to display each page at the correct time. I currently get the timings from a simple script that plays the audio, and I press 'enter' each time the page of the score changes, to record the timing. But I want to automate this. With that timing data alone, I can produce very basic videos that meet my (initial) requirements. The output from event-listener is so close. I just need to get it to listen to the appropriate events ... if that is possible. Maybe I'll want to colour notes too at some point :-) Perhaps those links will answer the next question: Can I dump out from lilypond the following information for each note: note start time; note duration; co-ordinates of the centre of the note on the PNG created by lilypond I think that's all the data needed from lilypond in order to create a quite nice video with note highlighting. How difficult can that be? :-) Is it the case that this can't be triggered neatly from a note event, because when the note event is received, the engravers have not yet decided where on the score that note should be put?

Then you should definitely have a look at the last link I sent (lilypond-html-video); IIRC it uses a Scheme engraver (so no patching Lily itself) to output svg with additional timing information encoded as data- attributes for each rhythmic event. Then one can use that to get a cursor, change CSS attributes on the fly (e.g. noteheads opacity), switch from one page to the next, etc. It’s still very much WIP, but you can have a look at the examples (particularly the vibraphone one) to get an idea.

Greetings,
you’re right. You can fix it by adding this at the top of your file:
\include "makam.ly"
#(set! language-pitch-names
(append language-pitch-names
(list `(makam . ,makamPitchNames
#(set! standard-alteration-glyph-name-alist
(append standard-alteration-glyph-name-alist
makamGlyphs))
\language "makam"
I’ll edit the makam.ly file itself to include that in the next LilyPond release.
Even with this modification, however, chord notation remains limited
for non-semitones accidentals: for example the following example works
(more or less) for NoteNames, but not very well for ChordNames:
music = { }
<<
\new Staff \music
\new NoteNames \music
\new ChordNames \music
>>
Cheers,
