I'm currently a Windows XP user. I would like to mount Linux on an old (circa 2002) Dell laptop my daughter is going to pass along to me. I've narrowed my choices to Ubuntu, Kubuntu, or Debian (a distant third). I'm currently running Fedora 10 on a Compaq nc8000 (circa 2003) -- installation went flawlessy, and everything works out of the box, except for the fn key combo to enter presentation mode. But's that's soon rectified by assigning a keyboard shortcut to an xrandr command. If you're looking at Ubuntu for your first distro, you can't go far wrong. If you're into making music with computers, Linux is a great choice, because of its freedom in both senses (beer and speech). There's a specialised audio distro called Ubuntu Studio, which, like Puredyne, comes ready to go with a realtime-enabled kernel and a heap of great apps to get started, including the JACK sound server, which allows you to route audio and midi data to and from any jack-aware app any way you want. ok so i am biased as i am a developer of puredyne http://puredyne.goto10.org its debian based with a focus on audio / visual work it is a combination of the debian repositories along with the debian multimedia repositories and our own puredyne repositories. I use Fedora with the RPM Fusion, Planet CCRMA, and separate Compiz repositories. The great thing about Free software is that you find a system and setup that you feel comfortable with, and more importantly, one that actually works with your hardware. if you do a "full install" you can just add lilypond with aptitude install lilypond or install using the lilypond installer for the latest 2.11 version To get back on topic, CCRMA was using lilypond 2.10.33 until very recently, so I've been using the lilypond installer for the latest 2.11 version from lily's website. I use gedit for typing up lilypond files, and evince for viewing, but I print from the commandline with lpr, because I find it easier and faster than clicking through dialog boxes. There's also LilyKDE, which integrates several KDE apps into a user-friendly lilypond environment, and LilyPondTool, which also provides a complete environment. Of course, power users will continue to stick with Emacs or Vi, but I've no wish to discuss the merits of one vs the other ;) we will have a dvd version in the next release and this will include lilypond and all the lilypond extensions we can get our hands on - as a lilypond user and a puredyne developer i have a strong interest in making this a super nice environment for lilypond users. - there is also a live version which runs off usbsticks or cd which makes in nice for workshops etc. its super light so works well on old machines - it uses the xfce4 desktop as part of its lightweight ethos but if you want to bloat your system and add kde or gnome thats easy as Xfce is indeed a great environment -- it makes old boxes usable, and fast boxes faster. If you're coming from windows, the first thing you notice is the sheer configurability of the various desktops -- you can have various panels, launchers, taskbars etc. anywhere you want, or not at all -- after all, real geeks only use runlevel 3, right? aptitude install yourfavoritewindowmangerhere as its debian (lenny) based. good luck rob c ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-us ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Yes, a variable fourth, if you want to call it that - you finally got it.
This is like the not-so-helpful answer "You can't get there from here."
It just took about 20 messages to get to that conclusion.
Actually, there is a way, but it's just something to muck around with,
and takes a lot longer than scrawling stuff by hand on a sheet of ms paper.
Mididings, the python-based midi router from
http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/, includes a 'diatonic harmonizer',
which allows you to add or substitute a harmony line at a specified
interval from the notes being played, with respect to the home key.
So you could:
1) download & install mididings
2) save the following as test.py
# start of file
# harmonizer.py - example usage of the diatonic harmonizer
#
from mididings import *
from mididings.extra import Harmonize
# substitute a fifth above each note played -- equivalent to a fourth
below, this only works upwards --, based on the D Major scale
run(
Harmonize('d', 'major', 'fifth')
)
# end of file
3) start Jack
4) run python ./test.py
5) connect a (virtual) midi keyboard to mididings input; connect
mididings output to a recorder or sequencer app capable of saving a midi
file
6) run midi2ly on the resulting file
Merry Christmas!
Ditto.

Re: Issue 714 in lilypond: let the .ly file specify the output filename
2. Could I ask the developers that maybe this should be implemented as
/outputfile ""
As the name is likely to get used for the graphical score out .pdf, .png etc.
and will probably also be used as the name for the .mid(i) file outputs.
Or would you want to do this with properties, e.g.
/layout {
outputfile = "foo"
}
/midi {
outputfile = "bar"
}
Sorry to be pedantic, but any solution would use backslashes (\) , not
forward ones (/) :)
Just my 2p worth,

P.S. is there any way I could contribute to Lily if I only have a Windows only
system, or do you have to run Linux to be a grown-up Lily developer?
No prima facie reason why not, but Lilypond uses the git versioning
system, which can be tricky to get running on Windows, or so I'm told.

I have done some playing with qjackctl and midi-thru and such, and have not stumbled on a solution that would allow me to both see the lilypond in the emacs buffer and hear the notes I play. Can anyone give me a hint? Is midi-input-mode aware of jack? Sounds (no pun intended) like you need the emacs mode to create a midi input port so that you can connect your midi keyboard to it via jack, as well as to qsynth. Unfortunately, the link to Hans Lub's site (author of midi-input mode) from linux-sound.org is dead http://utopia.knoware.nl/~hlub/uck/software/ I know there are several other ways to use a MIDI keyboard for lilypond input; I have tried some of the others, and this was the first one I managed to get working. If nobody knows the answer to this specific question, but does have some other way to use a MIDI keyboard to both see lilypond and hear audio output, I'd be glad to hear about specifics. There's always rosegarden, the all-singing, all-dancing midi sequencer, which includes lilypond output, both as .ly and .pdf -- it should be in Ubuntu repositories. Rosegarden's lilypond output is usually better than the hamfisted method of recording a midi file with a non-lilypond aware app, and processing the file with midi2ly. Hydrogen (drum machine) also includes lilypond output. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I guess for designing custom clefs one has to define a custom font but I wonder whther there is another less complicated way by making a clef temporarily transparent and putting some Postscript Markup in its place.

It's no longer included in Fedora because of a licensing issue, and hasn't made its way into the RPM Fusion repo.

Re: Turning off shape notes

I'm using shape notes in some music I'm writing. There is one part of

the override code as given in the documentation, I only get shape

off?
Here's my code:
\relative c' {

a4 b8 cis4 a8 gis8 gis a b4. \bar "" \break
b4 cis8 d4 b8 a a b cis4. \bar "" \break

\override NoteHead #'style = #'cross a8 a a4. a4. a4. r4. \revert
NoteHead #'style \bar ".|."
}
As \aikenHeads is a shortcut for a lengthy \set shapeNoteStyles command,
you can use \set shapeNoteStyles = #'#(default) to get things back to
normal.

Hi Wing, I'm not sure what you mean by using Lilypond under some application. Do you mean you're using a graphical front end to Lilypond? If so, then I don't know what to do. If you're using Lilypond by itself, then proceed with following advice... The first thing I would try is getting the newest version of Lilypond, which is 2.12.2-1. This is a stable release. http://lilypond.org/web/install/ I suspect that you got 2.10.33 from the Suse repository, and at the time it was probably the latest stable Lilypond. 2.12 is much better and it's worth installing for that reason (and for the much better documentation), but it might also fix this dependency problem. If you installed Lilypond using the Suse package manager, be sure to remove it the same way before installing the new version. To install the new version, download the installer script from the Lilypond site to your desktop, then use the command line: cd ~/Desktop sudo sh ./lil[tab] (tab-complete the script's filename to be sure it's accurate) Press enter, then type your password and it'll install. HTH, Jon Follow Jonathan's advice and you can't go wrong. I too am unsure of your meaning -- while you don't need to compile lilypond yourself, the error you report regarding libstdc++ is typical of missing header files, needed while compiling applications from source code. This particular error could be solved by installing lidstdc++-devel from openSUSE's repository. But again, it's not necessary to do that if you install lilypond via the above method. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Not sure this can really be called a "bug"… your input syntax is

In particular, it looks like you want polyphony, but aren't actually

Here is a possible modification which is actually valid polyphonic

I figured out the problem, and that code does work, it just didn't work under
my score, paper, layout, or drumstaff section. I simply had to put it under

I only have two problems left:
1) since there is only one line on the staff, the bars between the measures
don't show, how do I get them back?
2) the measures aren't evenly spaced out, how do I make them all the same
size?
I've tried these lines of code:
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'strict-note-spacing =
##t
\set Score.proportionalNotationDuration =
#(ly:make-moment 1 16)
but not all measures are evenly sized, some are fatter,
especially those
with many septuplets/32nd notes.
Besides saying "read the manual", which I've already waded through many
times, could anyone provide some constructive help? Either give me a "look
at this page" or simply posting the code snippet would save much
frustration.
Here's how I'd do the OP example, incorporating your flam macro from
another thread:
---
\version "2.12.2"
qBeam = {
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 1 4 'Staff)
#(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 8 * *) 2 4 'Staff)
}
snflam = \drummode {
\override Stem #'length = #4.5
\acciaccatura {sn8}
\revert Stem #'length
}
tomflam = \drummode {
\override Stem #'length = #4.5
\acciaccatura {toml8}
\revert Stem #'length
}
global = {
\time 3/4
\set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 16)
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
}
test = \drummode {
\qBeam
\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8
\tomflam sn8-> sn8:32 ~ \stemDown \times 2/3 {toml16 sn toml} \tomflam
sn16. toml32 \times 2/3 {sn16 toml sn} \snflam toml8
}
\score {
\new DrumStaff { \global \test }
\layout {
\context {
\DrumStaff
\override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
\override BarLine #'bar-size = #4 % you need this to see the
barlines on a single-line drum staff
}
} % close layout
} % close score
--
For a drum part with two lines of notes, I'd do it this way; the
\voiceOne and \voiceTwo automatically take care of stem directions.
\version "2.12.2"
up = \drummode { notes go here }
down = \drummode { notes go here }
\score {
\new DrumStaff
<<
\new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }

Sure, that works for a new project, but what about in the context of my drum

I haven't yet got the barlines lined up on each line, but I've made a start.
Btw, the file rudiments.ly, as posted, is missing a ' on lines 6 and 17;
just change "\override Beam #'positions = #(1 . 1)" to " \override Beam

If you look at the output of drumtest.ly, there's an extra crotchet
which takes it into a 73rd bar -- remove this, and it looks better
immediately.
I found that I could strip out all the \noBreak jazz, and still achive
six bars on every line with this \with block:
\new Score \with {
proportionalNotationDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 2)
\override SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
\override SpacingSpanner #'common-shortest-duration =
#(ly:make-moment 1 8)

I found that using \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'single-digit (which I've used before), and \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(1 . 4) produces exactly the desired result.

It appears the problem I am having has to do with the durations of the

fraction.
Robin's code as a minimal example works fine.
There are 8 32nd notes to the quarter note; he's used one hidden 32nd to
attach the gliss to, which leaves 7 eighths of a quarter note.
If you're using hidden eighth notes to attach the gliss to, try scaling
the next note by 1/2 -- e.g.
\hideNotes g,8 \glissando \unHideNotes c'4*1/2
Making such changes to Robin's example acheives similar results with
tighter spacing.

lower = \relative c'' {

\voiceThree \lower

}
}
\layout {

Btw, you can put any bracket above the staff with \once \override
HorizontalBracket #'direction = #UP

Hi,
I am quite new to lilypond and stumbled over a question regarding trills. I'd
like to use pitched trills which works quite well with something like:
\pitchedTrill b2 \startTrillSpan cis b \stopTrillSpan
However when I want to do a pitched trill over just one single note, I always
get errors:

breakable.
\pitchedTrill b

For a pitched trill on a single note, try terminating the trill spanner
on a spacer note:
\relative c '' {
\pitchedTrill e2\startTrillSpan fis d\stopTrillSpan % as usual
\pitchedTrill e2\startTrillSpan fis s2\stopTrillSpan % with spacer note

Re: Lilypond is amazing! (engraving Reubke)
Arno Rog wrote: Hi, Just to learn LilyPond better I've engraved the splendid Organ Sonata "Der 94ste Psalm" by Julius Reubke (1834-1858) with LilyPond 2.13.1. The result can be seen here [1]. The 28-page score is based on the IMSLP score (first edition 1871) of this piece. [Dutch]Werkelijk meesterlijk Wilbert![/Dutch] Magnificent score, exemplary use of incorporating separate ly-files into one score, makes me realize there is still só much to learn!!! Thanks for sharing this and your other ly-files, they should be promoted to the LilyPond Snippet Repository and incorporated into the Lilypond manuals immediately! Beautiful examples to incorporate into a show-case and to convince (so-called) professional printers to accept lilypond-scores (try to typeset this Reubke with Finale/Sibelius!)

Hi,
It is possible to get an typical jazz swing also in the midi file, so
I hear it when playback?
I think you'd have to code swing drum section just for the midi output,
with something like
\times 2/3 { hh4 hh8 } to get swung rhythms.

Re: Pick a pitch/instrument in MIDI output
Matthew Rowles wrote: I've read all of that. All of those instruments are pitched. I want just a snare drum to hit out the rhythm. One way would be to play a midi file through a Jack-aware player like timidity, connecting timidity's midi output to the midi input of the Hydrogen drum machine, or Gneutronica. I can't access the percussion midi instruments as I'm not using a drum staff, and if I was, the notes would still change (percussion) instrument as the "pitch" changed. Basically, I want to replicate an audio RhythmStaff. So, maybe a better phrased question: Can I pick a particular midi instrument "pitch" (eg c', snare etc...) and use that for all notes in my score? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How to get this with lilypond?
Have you an example of how this should look like?
I haven't seen this mark ever before.
The only place I've seen this sign is in symbolic logic, where it means
negation of a proposition.
There are at least 2 versions in UTF-8; a normal one U+00AC, and a
full-width one U+FFE2.
To use these within lilypond, do \markup { \char ##x00AC } or \markup {
\char ##xFFE2 }.
Or, if your file is saved with UTF-8 encoding, you can paste the
character straight into it.

Re: Bass clarinet fingering chart
[Off topic] Mike Solomon wrote: 5) I read that the biblical definition of pi is 3 (1 Kings 7:23). 1) The Bible makes no such claim. 1 Kings 7:23 apparently describes a temple object with a circumference of 10 and a diameter of 30. It's perfectly correct to state measurements only to the number of significant figures necessary for the application in question, in this case description of the temple. As maths people know, `10' is accurate to two significant figures for any value from 9.5 to 10.5; `30' for any value from 29.5 to 30.5. An implied rounding of pi to 3 introduces a margin of 4.7% error (because 0.14/3 = 4.7%); we all accept greater inaccuracies in everyday life without any drama. 2) Or, if you insist that biblical authors were too stupid to round off figures, take a closer look at the text -- the vessel's brim flared outwards (v. 26); the `10' measures from brim to brim (v. 23). The `30' refers to the outer diameter of the main part of the vessel (below the the flared brim), measured with a taut string line. In guile, (angle -1) returns pi accurate to 14 decimal places. Good for guile; but any decimal expression of pi remains an approximation. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

am i doing this wrong, or is it not possible to get a png clip?
thanks,

I couldn't get the clips in png format either, trying `lilypond

Maybe you use the `convert' command from ImageMagic to convert the eps

Dear Lillyponders,
Some of my favourite drum books (Chapin, Pickering) use a three-line

I like it—it has a clean look, especially when writing for snare, hh,

It is similar to the timbale stave currently available in Lillypond.
Is someone able to advise me how to reproduce this, or simply to make one?

Uncomment the `BarLine #'bar-size' line and play with the figure if you
want the barlines to extend above and below the staff.

Circular Staff in Inkscape [was Re: Lilypond vs Score]
I have to admit - I tried it and it's not easy to get a staff to conform to a circle, for example. Maybe someone else can. My Inkscape skills are weak, though I love the software. Not sure how to wrap the entire staff in a circle, but you can easily draw a circular staff in Inkscape:- Draw a circle (F5) with Ctrl held down, 115 px in size; Get outline only by Ctrl+Shift+F, click the X under Fill, and flat color (2nd left) under Stroke paint (or click the X near bottom left of window, and Shift-click a coler for line color); Clone it 4 times (Alt + D); Hit F1 and make sure the circle and all clones are selected by drawing a selection box around the circle (the status bar will tell you if they're all selected; you anly see the top one); Open the Transform dialog (Shift+Ctrl+M), go Scale, width & height both 110%, and make sure 'Scale proportionally' and 'Apply to each object separately' are both checked. Click Apply :) Btw, Inkscape has layers -- use them if you don't want to be constantly dragging the wrong notes and whatnot around. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
