Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?
Hello All,
The following code is modified from section 6.3.5 of the LilyPond
2.10.33 manual. Can someone explain to me why the eighth note and half
note have their heads merged in the first measure while the quarter
note and the half note in the second measure do not?
Thanks,
Ted

Re: Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?
Please note that I understand that it is LilyPond's intended behavior
to never merge a quarter note and a half note regardless of how
properties are set. I also understand why this should be the default
behavior. I guess I don't understand why setting
'merge-differently-headed should not override the default behavior for
quarter notes as well as flagged notes. I've attached a snippet of
some old sheet music which does merge a quarter note and a half note.
While in some contexts it might be ambiguous, in this case, it is not.
BTW, I have figured out how to fake the behavior that I want.

Acciaccatura Inside Arpeggio
I've been searching the archives and the LSR for hints on how to put an acciaccatura inside an arpeggio without success. I've attached a scan from a Chopin nocturne to show what I mean. Can someone show me how this is done? Ted <>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thank you! That works brilliantly.

Problems Running convert-ly
I had been using LilyPond 2.6.4-1 under cygwin. I decided to switch to 2.8.1 under Windows XP. I am trying to run convert.ly in a cygwin bash shell. I started by adding /LilyPond/usr/bin to my PATH. When I try to run convert-ly.py, however, I am getting the following messages: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/cygdrive/c/nobackup/LilyPond/usr/bin/convert-ly.py", line 39, in ? import lilylib as ly File "/cygdrive/c/nobackup/LilyPond/usr/share/lilypond/current/python/lilylib.py", line 17, in ? import subprocess File "/usr/lib/python2.4/subprocess.py", line 391, in ? import select ImportError: No such process What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Ted ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Still Have convert-ly Questions/Problems.
I managed to get 'convert-ly' version 2.8.1 to run in Cygwin by doing the following: 1) I have Cygwin LilyPond 2.6.4 installed. This was installed in the default location using the 'setup' program. 2) I have Windows Lilypond 2.8.1 installed in the directory c:\nobackup\LilyPond. 3) I copied the convert-ly.py script from c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\bin in Windows world to /usr/bin in Cygwin world. 4) I copied c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current to /usr/share/lilypond/current. The script seems to run, but stops at conversion 2.7.40 and leaves the line \version "2.7.40" in the new file. (It started as "2.6.0".) Is this the expected outcome or should it have continued further? Ted ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Still Have convert-ly Questions/Problems.
I tried this and it works for in a DOS command prompt. It failed the same way in my bash shell - it seems to want to use the python installed for Cygwin. Still, this is a better solution to what I was doing. Thanks, Ted ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Getting Started - Problem with Piano Centered Dynamics and Pedal
I have just started using LilyPond with version 2.4.3 on Cygwin. I modified
the "piano-dynamics.ly" file which I found at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/template/out-www/collated-files.html by
adding an extra measure of music with new dynamics. Specifically, the second
measure has a crescendo to ff with \setTextCresc. The text comes out, but it
and the spanner are not aligned with the other dynamic markings. The manual
says that the vertical position should be controlled by the
DynamicLineSpanner object. I added a \override state, but it had no affect.
Also, I tried to change the PedalSustainStyle to bracket; this also failed.
Can anyone explain what I've done wrong? My input file is attached.
Thank you,
Ted Stanion

How to Get Line Breaks in the Tagline
Is there a way to get a line break to appear in the tagline? I saw an
archived message which implied that putting a \break in the string would do
this, but it did not seem to work. I am using LilyPond version 2.4.6 under
Cygwin. I've attached an example source file showing what I've tried.

Spurious Repeat Symbol
How can I get rid of the extra repeat symbol in this example? I'm sure it is
caused by the rest at the beginning of the repeat. I've tried hiding an
extra note along with a skip, but I can't figure out how to do this and get
the rest back.

I'm pretty sure that adding "\set melismaBusyProperties = #'()" before your notes will do what you want.
