Re: Thick barline connections between staves

2005-06-05 Thread Ed Baskerville
Thanks for the quick fix--the barline thickness is now consistent.  
However, now all the barlines look too thick--it's quite noticeable  
when comparing with professional printed scores as well as previous  
versions of Lily.


I also sent an email to bug-lilypond.

[ANN] LilyPad Preview 1

2005-07-23 Thread Ed Baskerville

Fellow LilyPutians,

As promised a long, long time ago, I'm releasing a preview version of  
LilyPad, a simple editor/previewer for LilyPond. It's still a rough  
work in progress--what you see represents a very small amount of work  
spread over a long period of time--but it's pretty usable in its  
current form for editing and previewing simple single-file LilyPond  
projects.


Features include:
- A simple code editor with indent preservation
- "Almost live" previewing as you type
- Previews of typeset music (PDF) and audio (MIDI)
- "Point-and-click" links between typeset music and the source code,  
all within the same application


To get it, go here:

http://edbaskerville.com/software/lilypad/

Right now, it requires Mac OS X version 10.4 ("Tiger"), and requires  
that LilyPond 2.6 for Mac OS X be installed in your /Applications  
directory. Documentation is nonexistent, but it should be pretty  
straightforward--if you have any questions about how to use it, just  
ask me, on or off the list.


Since I wrote the initial code, LilyPond itself has acquired some of  
the features LilyPad was supposed to bring: a Mac OS X graphical  
interface for LilyPond, point-and-click in PDFs on Mac OS X, etc.  
LilyPad takes a slightly different approach, with background  
previewing, etc., but the goals are one and the same. As such, I'd  
like to work with the LilyPond development team to bring this code  
into LilyPond itself, hopefully in time for the 2.8 release. So you  
can think of LilyPad not so much as a thing unto itself, but more as  
the direction I'd like to see LilyPond take on the Mac OS X platform.  
(I will follow this message with one to the development list with  
more detailed questions and suggestions.)


Please send me any feedback on this work, again, here or off-list.  
I'm aware of many limitations (most notably, that things probably  
won't work right for multi-file projects), but I'm sure there are  
others I haven't thought of, as well as bugs.


Happy LilyPonding,
Ed

[ANN] LilyPad Preview 2

2005-07-31 Thread Ed Baskerville

Hi everyone,

I've updated LilyPad with some small but important changes to make it  
more useful.


The changes in this version:
- Supports command-line (e.g., Fink) installations of LilyPond as  
well as the application-packaged version

- Shows LilyPond output in the preview window
- Displays line and character numbers, and lets you jump to a  
particular line/character
- Increase/decrease indent commands (NOTE: these currently break  
undo, for as of yet unknown reasons. They also only support tab  
indents, not spaces.)


As always, feedback is appreciated.

Hi all,

I'm maintaining a listing for Mac LilyPond on VersionTracker. The  
idea was to only list stable versions on that site, but somebody  
keeps on submitting development (2.7.x) versions.


If whoever is making these submissions is on the list, could you  
please stop? I've been unsuccessful at getting the VersionTracker

Why don't you just put at the top of your file:

just don't want the Mac Lilypond.app application to launch  
Preview.app (and
in particular shift the focus away from Lilypond) after typesetting  
has been
completed. So, I (1) do some editing in a .ly file, (2) hit command- 
R to
typeset and create a pdf file, (3) do more editing. After I do step  
(2) and
perhaps simultaneous to doing step (3) the pdf is displayed in my  
pdf viewer
so I can see what it all looks like. Important here is that between  
(2) and
(3) I don't have to manually switch back to Lilypond from the pdf  
viewer (ie
Preview). Yes, I could do this all easily enough in emacs, but I'm  
trying to
set this up for someone who would find that route far to  
complicated. The Mac
Lilypond.app is great for someone who doesn't want a complicated  
set-up, but
the pushing Preview to the front all the time is actually an  
annoyance.


Thanks for the suggestions. I do appreciate others trying to help  
out. Is

this something that would be better asked on the devel list?

LilyPad update

A number of you have inquired recently about LilyPad, my Mac OS X  
LilyPond front-end, so I thought I'd notify the list that no, it's  
not dead yet. I've recently restarted development, albeit slowly.  
(Slow progress is infinitely better than no progress.)


The code is now publicly available and licensed under the GPL. The

Re: who uses lilypond

2004-12-04 Thread Ed Baskerville
I'm fairly new to LilyPond, and brand-new to this list.
I'm a recent college graduate, programmer and cellist living in San 
Francisco, looking to somehow make myself financially solvent through 
some combination of Mac programming, freelance technical writing, and 
cello playing.

So far: a few simple arrangements to play at my cousin's wedding.
Just begun: a by-ear transcription of the Astor Piazzolla album The 
Rough Dancer and the Cyclical Night, and subsequent arrangement for 
whatever combination of friends I can get together to play the thing. 
(If anybody knows where the sheet music might exist, I'm very eager to 
turn this into simply an arranging project. Anybody?)

Also: I might as well mention that I'm starting to the groundwork for a 
Mac OS X front end to LilyPond, which will probably bring me back here 
often over the next few months. I'm actually envisioning two programs: 
one that's just a previewer (a la TeXShop), and one that has graphical 
editing, MIDI input, etc. The first I'll probably GPL and ask for 
donations; the second I'll probably charge for.

And I might as well conduct my own informal survey on LilyPond apps for 
Mac OS X: (1) who would use a simple LilyPond previewer (little more 
than easy switching between syntax-colored code and PDF output); and 
(2) who is interested in a fairly simple graphical music editing 
program that uses LilyPond for final output?

Simple OS X Lily previewer in the works (was getting Lily/mftrace on MacOSX)

2005-03-13 Thread Ed Baskerville
Hi all,
I've just started work on a simple LilyPond previewer for OS X. It will 
be similar to TeXShop, but simpler--at the expense, perhaps, of 
flexibility. The application will be a simple LilyPond text editor with 
indent balancing, parenthesis balancing, and code completion and 
"almost live" PDF previewing--a straightforward, one-trick pony.

I was mostly silent about this because I hadn't actually written any 
code until Thursday. Now that I have some basic functionality, I 
thought I'd gauge interest. I'll try to have a test version available 
soon, probably without syntax coloring or code completion.

A few questions for you all:
(1) Would use use this application? (Feel free to just email me 
directly.)
(2) Any other key features you'd like to see?
(3) Echoing Han-Wen's inquiry about a binary distribution: what would

(2) Any other key features you'd like to see?
point and click.
I've received a number of requests for "point-and-click." I haven't 
been following the discourse on the recent "point-and-click" 
developments in LilyPond carefully enough, so I'm not sure what is 
being asked for. Do you want a full graphical editor? (I do too.) 
Something that lets you click on a note and highlight the code? (Even 
that would be nice.) Or something else? These things are probably 
beyond my time constraints right now, but I'll keep these requests in 
mind.

firstly, i am very grateful for the work that goes into valuable 
creations, and feel that nobody should work for nothing. however, as 
an experimental composer, i often find myself working for little to 
nothing.
I'm a cellist who has been spending a significant amount of time 
recently on experimental projects that do not, as of yet, provide any 
financial support--so I understand the conflict between financial and 
artistic fulfillment. To completely ignore the long and complicated 
discourse on intellectual property and free software: I need to pay my 
bills, and cello isn't doing that right now. I could look for contract 
programming jobs--and I may yet find myself again with a full-time 
job--but right now I'd much prefer to write software that really 
interests me, that I myself will use, and that serves a community I 
personally care about. Unfortunately, to do that, I need to ask for 
compensation.

That said, I plan to release this tool as some flavor of shareware, and 
I certainly want to make it affordable to the experimental composer or 
composition student or struggling cellist "slash" programmer*.

Text encoding

2005-04-24 Thread Ed Baskerville
Hi all,
I have a few questions/clarifications about text encoding in LilyPond. 
These are are covered to some extent in the list archives and in the 
docs, but I wanted to check with the list to get the most accurate 
information from the horses' mouths...

(1) This is what I'm getting from the lilypond-user and lilypond-devel 
archives: LilyPond 2.4.x and earlier use ISO Latin1 as the native 
encoding, and 2.5+ are using UTF-8. Therefore, a LilyPond previewer 
ideally should detect the version of LilyPond being used and output the 
right encoding accordingly. Is this accurate?

(2) Aside from one allusion in section 10.2.2 (perhaps out of date?) 
the \encoding command has been expunged from the 2.5 documentation, and 
the section entitled "Text encoding" makes it sound like UTF-8 is the 
only way to go. Does that mean that \encoding is no longer supported? 
What about \encoded-simple?

(3) Is TeX encoding gone too? If not, how do you access it? (I have no 
particular use for it; for this one I'm just curious.)

Thanks much,

Well, I'd like to have a usable--though not feature-rich--preview 
version out within a couple weeks. Since 2.4 is still the current 
"stable" version, I might as well support it--it's a matter of changing 
a single constant in a method call to output in Latin1 instead of 
UTF-8.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm assuming that the silence means that 
everything I said was accurate: in 2.5+, we have UTF-8 only, and 
\encoding and \encoded-simple are no longer supported.

Re: Mac OS X 10.4 spotlight indexing of .ly files?

2005-05-11 Thread Ed Baskerville
If you haven't heard about it on this list, I suspect nobody has done  
one yet. I'll take it under advisement that there's a desire for this.

One temporary solution: the easiest way to tell OS X that your .ly  
files are text files is to set their HFS metadata type attribute like  
so (assuming all your files are in ~/Documents):

find ~/Documents .name '*.ly' -type f -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile - 
t 'TEXT' {} \;

(stolen from a thread on importing log files at:
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/8300945231/m/ 
307008223731
)

Then they'll be searchable, to the extent that these files are  
searchable as plain text, by Spotlight. (I ran this with a Spotlight  
search window open, and it highlighted the power of that technology-- 
LilyPond files showed up instantaneously in the existing search  
results after I ran the command. Cool.)

Of course, you have to re-run this every time you write out a .ly  
file, unless you're using an editor that sets this attribute for you.

Short-term, doing one that simply passes things on to the default  
text importer is apparently like 4 lines of code; I'd just have to  
research what those lines are.

Long-term, of course, a real metadata importer that understands  
LilyPond syntax would be great. Which would be very easy for me to do  
if I get around to syntax coloring with this Lily editor I'm writing.

Re: Mac OS X 10.4 spotlight indexing of .ly files?

2005-05-12 Thread Ed Baskerville
Two things:
(1)

find ~/Documents .name '*.ly' -type f -exec /Developer/Tools/ 
SetFile -t 'TEXT' {} \;

That should be -name, not .name.
(2)

Short-term, doing one that simply passes things on to the default  
text importer is apparently like 4 lines of code; I'd just have to  
research what those lines are.

I was sufficiently inspired and figured out what those lines of code  
are, and I am happy to share the results. An extremely stupid-simple  
LilyPond metadata importer, that simply interprets the contents of  
the file as plain text, is at:

http://edbaskerville.com/software/lilypond-importer/ 
LilyPond.mdimporter.zip

Just put it in /Library/Spotlight/, and your .ly files should be  
indexed.

Code if you're interested (it's a pretty minor modification of the  
default metadata importer template):

Re: Mac OS X 10.4 spotlight indexing of .ly files?

2005-05-12 Thread Ed Baskerville
If you haven't heard about it on this list, I suspect nobody has done  
one yet. I'll take it under advisement that there's a desire for this.

One temporary solution: the easiest way to tell OS X that your .ly  
files are text files is to set their HFS metadata type attribute like  
so (assuming all your files are in ~/Documents):

find ~/Documents .name '*.ly' -type f -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile - 
t 'TEXT' {} \;

(stolen from a thread on importing log files at:
http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/8300945231/m/ 
307008223731
)

Then they'll be searchable, to the extent that these files are  
searchable as plain text, by Spotlight. (I ran this with a Spotlight  
search window open, and it highlighted the power of that technology-- 
LilyPond files showed up instantaneously in the existing search  
results after I ran the command. Cool.)

Of course, you have to re-run this every time you write out a .ly  
file, unless you're using an editor that sets this attribute for you.

Short-term, doing one that simply passes things on to the default  
text importer is apparently like 4 lines of code; I'd just have to  
research what those lines are.

Long-term, of course, a real metadata importer that understands  
LilyPond syntax would be great. Which would be very easy for me to do  
if I get around to syntax coloring with this Lily editor I'm writing.

Hi there all you Mac OS X Tiger users.
Does anyone of you know of a metadata importer for lilypond files?  
Because currently they are not indexed.
The documents from Apple tell how to do it, but since my c classes  
are 12 years ago, I'm very rusty in this area. So if someone has  
already done an importer I'd be very happy with a copy.

The areas that imho need to be indexed are all commands (those that  
start with \command-name), all scheme definitions and all header  
information and all lyrics (without the timing and melismata  
preferably).

Re: Mac OS X 10.4 spotlight indexing of .ly files?

2005-05-12 Thread Ed Baskerville
Two things:
(1)
find ~/Documents .name '*.ly' -type f -exec /Developer/Tools/ 
SetFile -t 'TEXT' {} \;
That should be -name, not .name.
(2)
Short-term, doing one that simply passes things on to the default  
text importer is apparently like 4 lines of code; I'd just have to  
research what those lines are.
I was sufficiently inspired and figured out what those lines of code  
are, and I am happy to share the results. An extremely stupid-simple  
LilyPond metadata importer, that simply interprets the contents of  
the file as plain text, is at:

http://edbaskerville.com/software/lilypond-importer/ 
LilyPond.mdimporter.zip

Just put it in /Library/Spotlight/, and your .ly files should be  
indexed.

Code if you're interested (it's a pretty minor modification of the  
default metadata importer template):

Thick barline connections between staves

2005-05-27 Thread Ed Baskerville

Hi all,

In all the examples for 2.5.26, the barline connection between staves  
is thicker than the barline within the staff. Is this a known problem  
that's being addressed? Should I just hold out for 2.6 final?

Re: Thick barline connections between staves

2005-05-27 Thread Ed Baskerville
I'm on Tiger (10.4.1). So, yeah, could be a problem with Apple's PDF  
rendering?


As I zoom in farther and farther it's less and less noticeable. It  
almost looks as if the edges of the line between the staves is being  
fuzzed ("antialiased", though there's no real possibility of  
aliasing) and the lines on the staves are not, making the former look  
a little wider.

hi ed, han-wen,

i mentioned this today as well, and have seen it since approx.  
2.5.18 or so.
stan sanderson also mentioned it in an email from 12.04.2005 with  
the subject "2.5.18 bar line thickness error(?)"


what stan and i have in common is macos 10.3.x.

ed: are you also on a mac?
is this maybe a mac-specific problem or is it also on other platforms?

for me, the image in the pdf viewer is thicker, but the printout is  
fine.
