Quick question about accidentals

In Lilypond we have '!' to force an accidental to appear and '?' to produce a cautionary accidental. Is there any similarly simple way to prevent an accidental being printed where it otherwise would be? Using '\once \override Accidental.stencil = ##f' isn't too onerous - but I just wondered if th

Hi David, yes, I think there is no such command as short as ?. > Using '\once \override Accidental.stencil = ##f' isn't too onerous - > but I just wondered if there was an even easier way. \once \omit Accidental is the same and it is a bit shorter but no way near ! or ?. Of course, you can alway

Re: Quick question about accidentals

Thanks for these 2 replies.  I have tidied things up a bit by using \once \omit Accidental as suggested by Noeck. David's reply has given me several things to look up and think about (which is good!).  The quoted "@", \single and \etc were all effectively new to me - although I must have read ab

Re: Header fields in custom footer

Hi Andrew, Harm, all, thanks for your help. I tried to post a minimal example, but it looks like it was too minimal to show my intent. And of course, the LSR snippet works and does what says. I just could solve my issue with it - just passing my expression to the function did not solve it. So her

Re: Header fields in custom footer

Hi, your code works pretty well. Thanks, Harm! The following questions are left: (1) How to center the whole markup? \center-column does not work. It should be easy, but perhaps it's too late. (2) The footer should appear only on the first page, the last page should be different, all ot

Hi Lily ponders I try to user LSR to get file information. I assume the LSR is writen for V2.18.2. Si I did a lily convert.  The following is the LSR: Thank you for the help.Immanuel,Ming. \version "2.19.49" %{ Display ly file information on the score, including file name, file size,  LilyPond ver

Re: LSR - file information [0.24759]

Hello Ming, LSR 197 works fine at 2.19.51 with no conversion. It's really just mostly Scheme, not lilypond, and the syntax for Scheme has not changed. Compiles for me without error. Try running with a conversion. I cannot see the error in your appended output. Where is it? Andrew _

Automatic lyric colouring

I'm trying to put together an engraver for educational purposes, with noteheads coloured according to a particular scheme, and lyrics following this colouring. I've used the snippet for notehead colouring successfully ( http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=572), using "\override NoteHead.color =

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

Hi Jack, What do you mean exactly? The snippet colours noteheads according to their individual pitch. What if your word spans multiple pitches, what colour do you make it? This sounds somewhat illogical, or at the least confusing to read for a musician. Can you explain more? Andrew __

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

Take this song for example: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Cu34bCPytiY/T4ZD9tR7CrI/FBE/gytZgtL4qTc/s1600/See+Saw+Up+And+Down+-+G.bmp I would want all the d notes one colour, and their lyrics the same colour, and all the b notes and their lyrics a different colour. This is for very young child

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

I worried that it might involve Scheme. I should certainly investigate it but I'm already extremely out of my depth! The material is simple but as I'm planning on compiling between 100-200 songs using up to 5 notes (for Kodaly/Orff-style music programmes), if the lyrics idea could work, I'd like to

Re: Automatic lyric colouring

Hi Jack, So, in such simple music probably no melisma. I don't work with lyrics but you would have to write a Scheme function for the lyrics that computes the pitch of the associated note and figures out the corresponding colour. Is it worth the complexity for such simple works? However, others m

Re: LSR - file information [0.24759]

Hi Ming, Indeed yes that fails, using a filename with Chinese characters. As as aside, I myself have been learning to read and write and speak Chinese for a long time. However, I have never had the need to do it in Lilypond. I am not sure that lilypond has focused on Chinese character support ver

Hi Harm, thanks a lot for this solution and your patience! That's what I wanted. And the discussion told me more about how to ask. Cheers, Joram ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
