Re: Tuplet bracket visibility seems to break something

2021-09-02 Thread Leo Correia de Verdier
The reason for it breaking is that in the code you posted there are vertical lines ” || " instead of backslashes ” \\ ” separating the voices. The bracket issue is that the override needs to go in a context where the tuples sees it. By default it goes into the Voice context here, and the << … \

Thanks - that sorts out a lot (and exposes another issue I'll write about separately!). In my many decades of programming I always had reservations about "syntactic sugar" - different ways of expressing the same thing. When the alternatives do not have the same behaviour at all times, they can

2021-09-02 Thread Paul Hodges
I have a chord with a tied A flat, and a simultaneously played A natural. LilyPond's default behaviour is to combine these notes and place a natural in front, which totally obscures what is required. If I move the untied note, the accidental doesn't move with it, and I initially ended up with

2021-09-02 Thread Valentin Petzel
Hello Ming, David has correctly identified the problem. The Lilypond parser escapes guile string literals, so #"c:\U..." fails as \U is no escape sequence. So you need to escape each \ by writing \\ instead. As David has said, Lilypond might very well handle / instead of \. Cheers, Valentin 0

Hello Ming, just to be sure, you need to replace each \ with \\, not just the first one. You want #"c:\\User\\yming tsang\\Documents\\SNIPPET\\Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps" in total. 02.09.2021 19:40:36 ming tsang : > Hi Valentin & David, > I just tried with \\U and error persists > Shalom, >

Hello Ming. I’ve noticed „yming tsang” is turned into „ymingt~1” in the path. From what I’ve tried through experimentation this is something done by Frescobaldi! (Lilypond works quite fine on such files with out the mangled names.) This poses a problem if the filepath is used in formatting a st

Yes, but why does this happen? This does not come from Windows, this comes from Frescobaldi. It is not linked to long paths, but to spaces in the path. I noticed that this only affects the temporary path, but not the filename. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I sidestepped this problem (and simplified my code!) by removing all the shifts and the troublesome a natural altogether. I then added a new voice in which I wrote {s16 a!4..*6/7^-^\f} - this placed the new note close to the right of the chord, which also had its dots as it should. Is it a chea
