Re: an easier way to create the midi block

lol. right now i don't want any printed output. I just want to hear it so I can know if my octaves ran away on me and went on a trip with out my permission. lol! I'll try it out anyways. it said completion successful so wonder what happened? Take care and be blessed. On May 14, 2013, at 4:19 PM

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

I think you need to include all your music notation in another set of braces and add a layout block to get printed output, like this: \score { { % music notation goes here } \midi { } % need this for midi \layout { } % need this for pdf } On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 7:13 PM, Sarah k Alawami

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Hello. Your trick does not work too well. I stays completion successful but there's no midi on my desk top where i have my files. Here is an example of a ly file I want to test with this. If I can get this to work I can work faster to get this done by 11:59 tonight. lol! flute.ly Description

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Hey don't worry about it. I'm still a new beginner of lily pond and am trying my hardest to get this assignment done in 2 weeks, Ok a week and a few days. I'll take a look at the editor you mensioned and if I don't make any progress soon someone can help me in correcting the mistakes until I r

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Oeps, I'm sorry, I simply assumed that mentioning line numbers would be easy for you. Lots of editors use these, on my Mac I often use TeXShop for Lilypond and LaTeX. Basic functionality but with(!) line numbers. In what way do you prefer a response? I could do the edits and send back the

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Hello. thanks for your reply. Unfortunitally it is impossible to show line numbers in the mac version of lily pond. and having to count that many manually is going to be a chore lol! I have made the suggestion that there be an option to show line numbers and I tried the control e command for

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Hi Sarah, The closing bracket } on line 34 is one too much. And in line 156 there is some strange - not lilypond - text. When I compiled this I noticed one important thing: the flute and trumpet (in C) melodies show one sharp for \key g \major, but the line you indicate with Clarinet in B-f

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Ok. Even putting in the final score assignment fails. i don't' know where i'm going wrong as lily pond on the mac side of things does not show line numbers. That would be nice. and I'm not even done creating the score wight eh flute part. roar. and some instruments are missing so I will have to

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Hey thanks that sort of worked, except my relative c is not working It's being played int eh wrong octave and my \repeat percent 2 thing is not working either. it is failing with a bar check and it should not as 2 of those make a complete measure. On May 1, 2013, at 12:13 AM, and...@andis59.se

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

No it's for 2 flutes. so they will know to divide those 2 parts. lol! I tried the \score thing but even seeing the layout of one of these things has my head spinning lol! I'm still quite quite new to lily pond and am learning it crush time style as I need it to pass the is class I'm in. I

Re: an easier way to create the midi block

Do you mean just the standard MIDI block 'shell' code, like this (for example): \midi { \context { \Score tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 100 4) } } Or do you mean specific to /your /score? I'm a little confused what you mean. -Ben Sarah k Alawami wrote > Hello.
