quick fix for using LilyPond with LilyPad

Hello Developers, I still use LilyPad, and that calls LilyPond via lilycall.py (even if that's probably deprecated). In that file there's the line: env['LILYPONDPREFIX'] = prefix + '/share/lilypond/current' That let LilyPond fail with a deprecation warning. Please just change it to env['LIL

third down, diatonically

Dear Lilypond-users, I would like to transpose this melody diatonically one third down: \relative c' { \clef G \key a \minor \time 4/4 \partial 2. \ e4 a b | c2.( a4 )| % 3 c2.( a4 )| g e b' c % 5 d e,( d' c) | c( b) b( a) | % 7 a ( g) f-. g-. | a4*3 } the t

\transpose ? like \transpose c a{ \relative c' { \clef G \key a \minor \time 4/4 \partial 2. \ e4 a b | c2.( a4 )| % 3 c2.( a4 )| g e b' c % 5 d e,( d' c) | c( b) b( a) | % 7 a ( g) f-. g-. | a4*3 } } in the document lilypond-big-page.html#Transpose good luc

Remove prefatory staff lines

Hi all, I'm trying to remove the empty staff lines that occur when a new staff is created coinciding with a clef change in another staff - see example. I've tried various settings of explicitClefVisibility which haven't worked so far. Any ideas? As a last resort I'll just whack a white postscript

Line breaks in text markups

Hi, I managed to write notes and lyrics or the first verse for a song. Looks great! Now, I would like to add the lyrics of further verses below. The only command I found for this is "\markup". Is there a possibility to add manual line breaks within the markup text? If I use two markup commands

Hi all, Is there a possibility to add manual line breaks within the markup text? Yes; it's \markup { \column { Your first line } { Your second line } } Ouch. There must be a better way, no? Do any of the LaTeX commands work (e.g., \par, or \\, etc.)? At the very least, ta

Hi Nicolas, Do any of the LaTeX commands work (e.g., \par, or \\, etc.)? this LilyPond, not LaTeX, why in the name of Mandos would LaTeX commands work? I was under the impression that LilyPond once used a LaTeX engine in the background -- was that never true? Thanks, Kieren. p.s. Who in

Re: Adding notes above drumstaff

As a drummer I've struggled to find a way to write drum kicks as well. Another term may be "rhythmic cues". This technique can be seen in almost all the drum parts of modern stage band music. Just clarify this further for others, the technique is to have a single line of small notes above the drum

Place bar line at start of single staff

Hello, I need to place a single bar line at the start of one staff, before the clef. This link shows a somewhat silly example of what I want: http://www.walltowallstencils.com/l/la412.gif. I have searched through the documentation and forum and I haven't found a way to do this. I appreciate y

Re: third down, diatonically

Dear neuro, this was a misunderstanding. I didn't want to transpose the example a *minor * third, I wanted to transpose a third, diatonically, in the key of c, without "black keys". This is, I think, very much used in tonal music. 2008/5/1 neuro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > \transpose ? > > like > >

StaffSymbol #' staff-space definition produces a SystemStartBar (?)

Greetings everyone, On my way to answer Adam's recent mail, I found something really surprising: why does \new Staff \with { \override StaffSymbol #' staff-space = #1.4 } {a b c' d'} produces a single-staff system with a left barline at its beginning (which is fine, as it does help to keep t
