Hi David, Are you using LilyPondTool's JPedal plugin for viewing your output files? I had the same problem a while back with ottava spanners, and was on the verge of posting a bug report until I opened the offending file in Foxit. It seems JPedal has a rendering bug which messes up dashed or dott

Hi Zenith, Valentin's right that there's no bug here - the culprit in your file is the rather innocent looking (but deadly) line \override Script #'padding = #0 which you're using after tweaking the padding on the fermatas. Fermatas and staccato dots are both Script objects, so you need to be car

The LilyPond Report: a new weekly opinion column about Lily's world

2008-03-09 Thread Valentin Villenave
Hi everybody, As you may already know, I am fond of starting little useless projects to promote LilyPond (perhaps you remember about some of them). Here's my last one (i don't know if I'll be able to maintain it, but it's just fun to launch it anyway): a "short informal, weekly opinion column abo

Re: crescendo beginning in middle of note duration

2008-03-09 Thread Gilles THIBAULT
Occasionally a crescendo or decrescendo needs to begin not at the commencement of a note's duration, but rather halfway through the note. Can such a situation be properly typeset using lilypond? If so, how? You can do that for example { g'2*1/2 s4\< g'2\! } Gilles ___

Different distance line - chordnames within one score

2008-03-09 Thread Dominic Neumann
Hi, I´ve determined a strange problem. In some of my scores the distance between note line and chord names differs from line to line. I´ve got a song with >3 lines. In line 2 the chord names are around 1mm farther away from the line. I will try to build a minimal example, because the songs I usua

Re: Need help with upgrade from 2.2 to 2.10

2008-03-09 Thread Mats Bengtsson
I recognize the problem, when trying to use the precompiled binary package of 2.10 or 2.11 on Debian Sarge. The funny thing is that often I get the correct output anyway, but sometimes LilyPond simply breaks halfway through the compilation. /Mats Quoting Alan McConnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

If you use version 2.11, please note that this is one thing that has changed, so please use the corresponding definitions from ly/property-init.ly as a starting point. If I remember correctly, convert-ly will issue a warning but will not solve the problem automatically, when you upgrade your file.

Converting MIDI File into Lilypond...how can I get "piano score" notation?

2008-03-09 Thread dbsoundman
I'm completely new to Lilypond. I have only really discovered it because I found a .mid file of a song I wanted the piano score to, so I downloaded it and I wanted to print out the sheet music. The problem is, I need to have it in piano score notation, meaning there is a bass and treble clef for e

Thank you very much, Kieren! I was looking for a kind of solution like the one you wrote but I didn't arrive to Scheme snippet, so I think it's a big step toward the goal even if it doesn't really work yet. I'll try to start from these lines, maybe I will be luckier enough to find the right way
