Re: Adding metronome click track to MIDI

Hi all,

I need to add  a metronome click sound to the MIDI generated with
lilypond, to allow people sync up a record-from-home session. A quick
web search didn't bring up anything that I could have used. Is there a
special midi instrument I could use for that?


Hi Francesco,

The solution I use for click tracks uses this:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2019-12/msg00346.html

That will give you a definition of clickTrackForMusic. All you need to 
do then is to provide the time signature and the music.


When I use it I do this:

-

clickPart = \clickTrackForMusic \timeSignature \music

% Click track:
clickStaff = \new DrumStaff = "click" {
  \set DrumStaff.instrumentName = #"Click "
  \clickPart
}

-

It automatically adjusts the length of the click track to the length of 
the music, but does not handle changes of time signature or tempo.

Hello Rudi

I take due note of your proofreading. Really relevant. Thanks.
I don't know when I will upgrade the sources to 2.21 exactly but it's 
all right!

If you are planning to update this repository I would be happy if you
could coordinate this work with what we have started on Gitlab
recently. We did not set up this repository simply because we wanted to
make your great work more accessible but to actually *build* upon it.

Concretely I want to restructure the code so the voices are
independently available and then build an infrastructure around it to
allow more flexible typesetting, e.g. 

 * choosing between modern and old clefs
 * choose between real score or piano score
 * select voices to be engraved/hidden
 * allow additional analysis layers (harmonic analysis, figured bass,
   others) to be added

This will make it a terrific resource for pedagogical/academic work. I
have been lobbying for LilyPond in the musicological and music theory
communities for quite some time, and one of the main obstacles
(particularly in the latter) is the need to give them something that
can be used immediately (because the horizon of the average music
theory teacher is typically "I do have to provide material to my four
courses tomorrow"). Having a corpus like the Bach chorales readily
available seems like a really great incentive to dangle in front of
their noses. I hope to find the time to write a Frescobaldi extension
for this repertoire, maybe even with an interface for letting students
write their own solutions right into the material.

So far I have not touched the files uploaded in the Gitlab repository
because you had indicated there are some updates available or pending.
But it would be nice to know when it will be suitable to start with
substantial modifications of the input files. Maybe you could apply
your updates directly to that repository?

Best

Re: two lv ties on merged notehead

There are indeed two lv ties.  But in your example they are using the 
same (default) settings and so end up exactly superimposed.


Try giving the one of them a difference:

  d,4-\tweak direction #UP \laissezVibrer

Why would you even start with a string then instead of reading a list in
the first place?

You can use something like

(with-input-from-string (string-append "( " "-3 31 A -6 B -8" " )") read)

but it looks like you are doing something fundamentally backwards if you
don't read what is supposed to be a list in as a list in the first
place.

Starting with \j “-3+31   A -6+B -8”  , two less key stroke for entry, simple.
True I could start with \j #’(-3+31   A -6+B -8) .
With all the list help and the guile manual I now have:
(“-3” “31” “A” “-6” “B” “-8”) , and
(-3 31 A -6 B -8) .
I want to try something with these, need both.

This is:

(string->list "abcd")

returning (#\a #\b #\c #\d).

This procedure converts a string into a list of
characters.

You may want a list of single-character strings instead.
Then here you go:

(map string (string->list "abcd"))

Thas gives ("a" "b" "c" "d").

The other one on the same page is for splitting a string
following certain criteria. For example, if you want to split
by spaces, then that would be

(string-split "Hello world!" #\space)

resulting in ("Hello" "world!").

And, if you want symbols,

(map string->symbol(map string (string->list "-3 31 A -6 B -8")))

That said, I don't really understand why you are mixing
numbers and letters in your strings. As David suggested,
it would be more natural to start with a list. And if
you provide context about what you're trying to achieve,
we likely can give more helpful answers.

Best,

Jean Abou Samra
