Easier MacOS X install?

2005-04-10 Thread Han-Wen Nienhuys
hi there, Just now, I've managed to get LilyPond up and running from Fink without any special efforts (hurray for Matthias!). However, it would be nice if the install was less complicated. In particular some people are put off by 1. the complex instructions (eg. downloading Xcode) and 2. the long

There is one possible workaround: Create 2 scores, one for paper output and one for midi output. In the midi score, add an extra s64\mf before the beginning of each voice. (it's dirty but works) I thought about it some more: 1) I would like to see the algorhythm that needs an absolute dynamic befo

Searching for the performers and engravers works for learning how to insert usable scheme code in the lilypond files, but the code that actually decides which midi volume levels to set where is not in the performer. For instance, absolute-volume-alist: #(set! absolute-volume-alist (append

Hi, I am not sure whether this should go on the devel (because it's about the development version) list or the bugs list (or is that for bugs in the stable version?), but here goes: The code: === \version "2.4.0" ClarinetPart = { \set Staff.instrument = \mark

Hi, lilypond --help says, among other things: -b, --backend=EXTselect backend to use This should IMHO be extended to something like -b, --backend=EXTselect backend to use. Possible values of EXT are: ps, tex, gnome, svg Erik __

Just to clarify Erik's initial answer. The problem that the MIDI output goes silent after a (de)crescendo only happens for voices where there hasn't been any absolute dynamics at all before the hairpin. It doesn't matter if the absolute dynamics is 10 measures before or on the same note. However
