Re: Easier way to do double-quotes in lyrics?

doh! I just realized that Frescobaldi has a snippet for that. I can select the text and push ctrl+shift+' (or ctrl=") and it will add the typographic quotes. haha Sorry for the noise, yall. I'm used (in regular coding languages) to being able to use code to make variables for anything I want.

Easier way to do double-quotes in lyrics?

When we want to use a double-quote character in lyrics, we have to *remember* to write them like this ( from the docs ): \addlyrics { "\"I" am so lone -- "ly,\"" said she } However, is there any easier, more

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

So, on my workstation, I've tried different versions of Lilypond until I found the most recent version that works correctly. That version is 2.19.42-1. Therefore, I deduce that the problem I am having comes from the changes between version 2.19.42 and 2.19.43. I'm fetching the Windows binaries

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

Alright, so that was on a fresh system. So, I completely removed Lilypond and Frescobaldi from my workstation - preferences and all - and reinstalled Lilypond 2.19.44 and Frescobaldi 2.18 from scratch. But I have the same old problem. So there is something in my computer that is messing up Lily

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

I tried this. I took a Windows 7 computer that never before had Lilypond and I installed Lilypond 2.19.44 and Frescobaldi 2.19 and I had the same compile problem taking a really long time to compile - and that using the "choir hymn" template that comes with Frescobaldi's "New" menu. So, to cont

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

Thanks for you interest, fellas. I downgraded lilypond to version 2.19.36-1 and everything works as expected - that is, it compiles any of my scores normally in just a second or two. My problems were all with the latest lilypond 2.19.44-1 version. I am using Frescibaldo 2.19 on Windows 7 Pro x64

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

Well, it seems like it hangs on just starting lilypond. (and, as I've mentioned, I didn't have this problem with version 2.18) As soon as it gets past this line... So, this line takes 99% of the time in the progressbar: Starting lilypond-windows.exe 2.19.44 [whatever.ly]... then all the rest pro

Re: Long Compile time with version 2.19.44

Okay, when I try exactly that, I still get 28.8 seconds for compile time. Moving the \new statements does not change anything for me. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Long-Compile-time-with-version-2-19-44-tp192343p192346.html Sent from the User mailing li

Re: Placement of Chorus for Hymn

Harm - thanks! That's more like what I imagined. It lets me keep the chorus and the verses in separate vars - it's just what I was hoping for. Thanks for taking the time! -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Placement-of-Chorus-for-Hymn-tp191809p191824.htm

Re: Placement of Chorus for Hymn

Actually, no, you can't assume I haven't tried it, thank you very much. I was hoping there was a more graceful way of doing it besides using skips. But skips work. I guess I'll just use skips. Thank you for your time. I do appreciate the help. -- View this message in context: http://lilyp

Re: Placement of Chorus for Hymn

You see, I don't want the verses to line up with the chorus. It should go like this: chorusmusic chorustext versemusic verse1 verse2 So it ought to show as if it were two different pieces, one above the other, but it has to all go within the same \score so that I can create a single midi from

Placement of Chorus for Hymn

Hi, all, I'm having trouble placing a chorus line. If I put the chorus in one \score and the verses in another \score, then they display correctly, but I can't get the midi for both scores as one file. It should have the entire chorus first, with the music for the verses in a separate staff. \sco

Key Signature only on first staff

My piece is in B Major and the repition of the key signature takes up a lot of room on the page. I would like to show it on the first staff only and suppress the rest. What do I do? My script is set up like this: global = { \time 4/4 \tempo 4=90 \key b \major } melody = \relative

Two-Syllable Beam with Sharp and Slur

My hymn has a key signature of B Major, so I have to manually sharp all the naturals in the code. On this one syllable - the "cha-" in Eucharist, I need to have the beamed 8th notes span for one syllable, and both be sharped AND still keep the slur line. How do I do that? melody = \relative c' {

Re: Two-Syllable Beam with Sharp and Slur

Thanks, Abraham - that's just what I wanted to do. I am transcribing a handwritten piece and it was written with the slur there. I changed it from this We Cru- sa- ders of the Eu- cha-_ rist, to this: We Cru- sa- ders of the Eu- cha- _ rist, And with your fix it now shows correctly. I am a prog
