Bug regarding transposed key change

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi, I think I've discovered a bug in 2.19.80.

When I change the key signature midway through a piece, the key of a 
transposed part is placed ahead of the key in the other parts. See the 
attached file if what I say makes no sense.


\version "2.19.80"

\score {
  <<
\transpose bes c' \relative c' {
  \key g \minor
  c1
  \key c \major
  c
}
\relative c' {
  \key g \minor
  c1
  \key c \major
  c
}
  >>

Well - it happened as far back as 2.12 - which was released around 9 
years ago - so your memory must be long if you can remember a release 
where it didn't do this!

Oh! Well, I guess I was completely wrong. Sorry, I thought it was a bug. 
It just seemed strange to me that the program would do this.

Tie Crusade: The Revenge

[Robert Murdoch]

Salutations,

Ties for notes between the bottom two staff lines (e.g. treble F4, bass 
A2, alto G3) and between the top two staff lines (e.g. treble E5, bass 
G3, alto F4) appear to be positioned incorrectly by default. They begin 
and end between the notes instead of slightly above or below them, and 
they touch the staff lines. Sorry if I didn't explain this properly, but 
this has slightly bugged me ever since I first started using LilyPond in 
2014 (though only now did it occur to me to talk about it here).


I am able to use the tie-configuration command of TieColumn to position 
them the way I think they ought to be positioned, but of course doing 
this for every one of them in a score is time-consuming. There is also a 
blog post about tie positions on the official LilyPond blog: 
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/08/tie-crusade-round-2/


Here are two example files.

Ties between bottom two staff lines and top two staff lines positioned strangely

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

Two days ago, I posted a topic to the mailing list called "Tie Crusade: 
The Revenge" where I informed that ties between the bottom two staff 
lines (e.g. treble F4, bass A2, alto G3) and between the top two staff 
lines (e.g. treble E5, bass G3, alto F4) are positioned strangely; they 
are positioned between the notes and touch the staff lines.


In retrospect, I should not have called the topic "Tie Crusade: The 
Revenge" because it gives no clue as to what I'm talking about in the 
post. Unsurprisingly, nobody replied.


Is there any way to fix the tie issue without applying \override 
TieColumn.tie-configuration = #'((dir . position)) to every tie that is 
positioned like this? And will there be a patch for this?

Re: Ties between bottom two staff lines and top two staff lines positioned strangely

[Robert Murdoch]

Well, ties on other notes seem to be positioned just above or below the 
notes (unless they're in a interval/chord) which I think is the 
standard. I guess it does boil down to a matter of taste in the end, but 
I don't think I've seen ties in a professional score be positioned the 
way they are for treble F4, treble E5, etc. in LilyPond, not for single 
notes anyway. Either that, or I overlooked them. It just looks 
inconsistent and it's slightly grated on me since I first started used 
this program in 2014, though only now have I thought to discuss it.


For comparison, I've attached an image I found of how ties usually look 
at treble E5.

don't have the standard text Behind Bars to quote from, but I feel

Without resorting to adjusting the TieColumn, you could take a look at 
the Tie.details list. There ought to be enough tunability in there to 
suit you (although I am well aware of the Tie Crusade. Whatever 
happened to that by the way?)


I don't think it is actually an issue, requiring a patch.

Tell us how you want it to look.

Bug: Beaming Over Rests with Two Voices

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi, I think I've discovered a bug that's rather hard to explain, but 
I'll try.


When I use two voices and am beaming over rests, the rests seem to be 
positioned based on the pitch of the second voice. I have attached a 
file of an extract from a piece of music where—in the third 
measure—there is an A-Sharp in the first voice and a G-Sharp in the 
second voice. The rests in this measure are positioned higher up than 
the rests before them, so the beam goes through them. Notice in the 
first two measures where the notes in the second voice are further apart 
and the rests are positioned correctly.


Sorry if I didn't explain this well.

\version "2.19.80"

\score {
  <<
\new Staff = "pianoIRH" <<
  \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceI" \relative c'' {

Regarding laissez vibrers

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi, looking at this post 
, 
the (currently) broken repeatTie on single notes in a chord can be faked 
with \override LaissezVibrerTie.head-direction = #RIGHT <{note}\laissez 
Vibrer {note}\laissezVibrer>. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to 
get two or more laissez vibrers facing different directions on the same 
chord. The log says that laissez vibrers in the same chord should all 
face the same direction, so is there another way?

Re: Regarding laissez vibrers

[Robert Murdoch]

There is currently a bug in LilyPond where repeat ties appended to a 
single note in a chord don't appear, hence why I wrote my message in the 
first place.

Problems with Frescobaldi compiling .PDF file from Cygwin-installed version of LilyPond

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi, I've recently successfully installed the master branch of LilyPond 
through Cygwin. I did this because I lack the patience to wait for the 
next stable release where the repeat tie fiasco will be fixed.


That being said, Frescobaldi seems to be having trouble compiling a .PDF 
file through the Cygwin-installed LilyPond with the following message:


> Fork: child -1 forked process  died unexpectedly, retry 0, 
exit code 0xC135, errno 11
> warning: g_spawn_sync failed (0): gs: Failed to fork (Resource 
temporarily unavailable)


The strange thing is that when I run LilyPond from the command-line, it 
successfully compiles and generates a .PDF file with no problems.


What am I doing wrong besides, you know, being thoroughly impatient? 
Thanks for reading.

Hello community,

Metronome mark stem length

[Robert Murdoch]

When I adjust my score's size with #(layout-set-staff-size N) and the 
score has a tempo with a metronome mark, the metronome mark's stem gets 
longer if the size is smaller, and shorter if the size is larger. There 
should be examples attached at sizes 20 and 12 to show you.


The question is, how do I stop this from happening?

Warning: g_spawn_sync failed (0): gs: Failed to execute helper program (Invalid argument)

Hi,

I downloaded the latest unstable branch (2.19.65) and tried compiling a 
score. Afterwards, gspawn-win32-helper.exe got quarantined in my 
AntiVirus software (McAfee), which has never happened to me before on 
any of the stable or unstable branches. Now my score won't compile ewith 
the title error in the logfile. What should I do? Or should I just wait 
for a fix? Thanks for reading.

Thanks, but I found the solution. I simply inserted

Key signature on multiple staves

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

How do I set the key signature to appear on multiple staves without 
manually setting \key for every staff? This question was asked around 
ten years ago (see 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00333.html) 
and still doesn't seem to have been resolved.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been trying to set up GNU Mailman 
through VirtualBox these past hours, but ended up ragequitting.


Anyway, I don't think I elaborated properly. I was already aware of the 
\global hack, but one is essentially replacing a command with a variable 
containing the same command. You still need to insert \global on every 
staff so it's the exact same thing to me.


I was hoping one could program LilyPond so that one could simply insert 
the \key command on one staff and it would automatically print the key 
signature on all staves at that point without needing to write pointless 
variables, like the \time command already does. If there really is no 
way, there really should be, I think.


Thanks for taking the time to respond anyway.

I Too Have Problems with Codas

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

For some reason my reply to Shamus Hammons' "Problems with Codas" post 
hasn't shown up after half an hour, so I'll post about codas here instead.


It is practically impossible to set up a coda properly in LilyPond. In 
most scores I've seen, the main score and the coda section are separated 
by whitespace on the same line, and the brackets/braces, barline before 
clef, clef, key signature and time signature are re-printed.


It is possible, albeit extremely complicated, to create the whitespace 
and clef, key and time with \stopStaff and engravers, but it seems 
creating the brackets/braces and barline before the clef cannot be done, 
as powerful as LilyPond is. All examples I've seen for codas in the 
LilyPond Snippet Repository are for a single staff that requires no 
brackets or braces, which isn't really helpful.


Maybe I'm wrong—I haven't explored every single aspect of the program, 
after all—but I thought codas would be made easy to create after all 
these years.


If my description above didn't help, here's blank sheet music of sixteen 
bars with a coda, done in MuseScore.

Ok, I'd never suggest to put something like that into our source.

Text Spanner Leading Directly Into Another Text Spanner

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

Is there a way to create a text spanner that leads directly into another 
text spanner, for example an accelerando into a ritardando? I've tried 
using \stopTextSpan and \startTextSpan on the same note, but the second 
text spanner is above the end of the first one which is not what I want.

Text Spanner Leading Directly Into Another Text Spanner

[Robert Murdoch]

Thanks for all the helpful replies everyone, but I've now run into a new 
problem; I want the second text spanner to align with the first 
spanner's dashed lines, for the first system. The second text spanner is 
currently below the dashed lines. How do I fix this?

Will do.

\version "2.19.65"

\relative c'' {
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "accel."
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = #1
  \acciaccatura e8\startTextSpan d4 d r d
  d2 g4. d8
  e2 r
  R4*4
  r2 r4 \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "rit." c\stopTextSpan\startTextSpan
  c2. aes4\stopTextSpan
}

How do I revert a TextSpanner's staff-padding after a line break?

[Robert Murdoch]

I'm really sorry to bother you all again, but I can not figure this out. 
In my last question about a Text Spanner leading into another Text 
Spanner, I was finally able to align an accelerando with a ritardando 
using staff-padding.


Unfortunately, after the line break in my score the spanner continues at 
the same height as it was on the previous line, as if staff-padding 
affects spanners after a line break too. I want the spanner after the 
break to revert to 0, but how do I do this?


Thanks for reading.

Thank you. It works perfectly.

Assign Dynamics Context to PianoStaff for MIDI

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

I was wondering how to assign a Dynamics context to a PianoStaff so it 
plays piano-centred dynamics in the piano part correctly in the MIDI 
file, without having to manually insert dynamics on notes in every voice.

Re: Assign Dynamics Context to PianoStaff for MIDI

[Robert Murdoch]

Thank you for taking the time to respond, but I'm afraid it didn't work. 
I'm using 2.19.65. I asked this because assigning dynamics to every 
voice—even in a separate midi block—is really tedious.

Robert,

I am confused. What doesn't work with my code that I posted?

If you create a separate 'score' for your MIDI realization (which you 
want to have a centered dynamics context for the piano as a whole), it 
should be that simple - no need to worry about voices, just create a 
dynamics context using similar code to what I posted and set it to 
apply to the instrument.


Can you help me understand better what you are not getting to work?

Thanks!
I think my problem is that my score is layered differently in that the 
music isn't contained within variables outside the \score block. It 
looks something like this:


-
EXAMPLE CODE START
-

\score
    <<
        \new PianoStaff = "pianoI" \with {
            instrumentName = "Piano"
            shortInstrument = "Pno."
        } <<
            \new Staff = "pianoIRH" <<
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceI" \relative c' {
                    \clef treble
                    \key c \major
                    \time 4/4

                    \oneVoice ...music...
                }
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceII" \relative c' {

                    \voiceTwo ...music...
                }
            >>
            \new Dynamics = "pianoID" {
                ...dynamics...
            }
            \new Staff = "pianoILH" <<
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceIII" \relative c {
                    \clef bass
                    \key c \major

                    \oneVoice ...music...
                }
                \new Voice = "mvmntIVoiceIV" \relative c {

                    \voiceTwo ...music...
                }
            >>
            \new Dynamics = "pianoIP" {
                ...pedal...
            }
        >>
    >>
    \layout {
        ...layout options...
    }
}

EXAMPLE CODE END

So when I tried doing what you suggested but applying it to my 
formatting choices, I failed.


Does this clarify anything?

Re: Assign Dynamics Context to PianoStaff for MIDI

[Robert Murdoch]

I myself should also clarify that what I've been trying to do the whole 
time is get the midi file to playback dynamics properly, not merely fit 
them between the staves in a midi file. I think I didn't explain myself 
properly, I just assumed. I tried using your code as well, but could 
hear no differences in volume when I played back the file.

\repeatTie on single note in chord still not showing up

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

A few months ago, somebody wrote about how to insert repeatTies on a 
single note in a chord, and it was discovered that when one did this 
e.g. 2, the tie wouldn't show up. It was decided it 
was a bug. You can find the thread here 
.


As of 2.19.80, the issue is still at hand.

Thanks for reading.

Approximate Time of 2.20 Release?

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi, I was curious if the development team has an estimation of when 
LilyPond 2.20 will be released. It would be nice to have some idea as to 
the approximate time it will happen. It says 2.19.80 is "a pre-release 
for the upcoming stable 2.20 release" on LilyPond's news page, so will 
2.20 be next or will there be a 2.19.81?


P.S. I understand development takes time, and I'm not saying "Thou shalt 
release 2.20 soon or I shalt hunt you down" or anything like that. I'm 
curious and looking for some information. Sorry if this message comes 
across as rude.

How do I apply patch files to my LilyPond binary on Windows?

[Robert Murdoch]

Hi,

I was wondering if it was possible to apply patch files to binaries on 
Windows, and if so how to do it.


I have been waiting for about a month for LilyPond 2.19.81 where 
hopefully the problem with the repeat ties in chords will be fixed (in 
case any reader doesn't know, as of 2.19.80 repeat ties can be applied 
to all notes in a chord, but not individual notes). I have been eyeing 
the bug tracker (https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/) and 
git repository (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/lilypond.git) and it 
appears to have been fixed in the master branch.


Now I'm wondering if I can apply the patch at 
https://codereview.appspot.com/332990043 to my Windows binary file. I 
was going to complain that I was running out of patience waiting for the 
next unstable release, but then I realised it's my own fault for not 
asking this question sooner.


Anyway, thanks for reading.

Re: How do I apply patch files to my LilyPond binary on Windows?

[Robert Murdoch]

Understood. Sorry to hear it, though. Well, I'll try waiting out a bit 
more. Seems the devs are hard at work squashing bugs.
