There is such a thing as a chord articulation. Why couldn't this distinction be captured via a different event name? ChordArticulationEvent versus ArticulationEvent, for example. Where would be the point? To not make the distinction in the parser. It is different input anyway, so the distinction is already there in the input. If you would drop that distinction in the rules that early, you would end up with chords being allowed as chord constituents. I think that changing the parser should be a last resort if we can't figure out a way to represent information through different event classes. I have trouble understanding what you call parser here. What would really help are some before/after examples (ly code and/or music streams and/or brief text like before the patch, you could not do X, after, you can or this patch will allow me to experiment with implementing X) would help a great deal. As if it were going into the Change Log, for example. It's a bit hard since the whole design (perfected by the rhythmic-music-event) was intended to make no user-visible difference. The music expression has just become predictable. You get an EventChord iff ... has been in the input. You get articulations on NoteEvent for pitch-postevent regardless whether or not this is part of a chord. Why can't we treat c as shorthand for c? Because inside of chords, it isn't a shorthand for c. And music functions like \tweak need to work inside of chords as well (\tweak currently even _fails_ if you apply it to c where LilyPond considers it a shorthand for c and the corresponding passage in the NR is _really_ embarrassing to LilyPond as a system). See URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2037#c3 for an approach to make c as c work which ultimately went up in flames. It is not like I did not seriously try that approach. It is a total maintenance nightmare (and has logical fallacies you can't really iron out) unless you forbid music functions inside of chords altogether. It also makes user level programming tasks at the input side (and that's really what music functions are) much harder and more intransparent if you don't have predictable relations between input and music expressions, and if you have to strip multiple layers before getting at the information you actually wanted and that was straightforward in the input. Music expressions _represent_ the input, as opposed to stream events which represent the typesetting task. Having a compulsory wrapping around singletons is just as predictable as no wrapping at all. Except that inside of chords, there is no such wrapping, and a music function does not know in advance where it is going to get used. As for articulations being on a NoteEvent whether or not this is part of a chord, I agree that this is a very good idea, but I think this can be accomplished by wrapping everything in an event chord and farming out the work to iterators. Uh, we _are_ farming this out to the rhythmic event iterator. That was its point. It was the missing link. If you use \displayMusic on something that you might want to put into a chord, you don't get wrong input. Tacking around a construct does not change the structure of its inside. It is not necessary to tack around a construct to make a \tweak work (which is a user-visible change). Why couldn't tweak make this distinction in the music function itself? Why should it? Why should we strive to make programming a reliably working music function as hard as possible? The music function could check if its input is an EventChord and, if so, feed it the first entry in the 'elements list of the EventChord. This seems like a less intrusive change than changing the parser. And what if there is more than one element? Anyway, see above for an attempt to make a less intrusive change and get inside chord functions work with the same argument parsing semantics as normal music functions (after all, one does not know the difference). It failed. A special inside-of-chord-mode for parsing music function arguments is a total maintenance hog. Nobody will understand the code, and more importantly, nobody will understand the behavior. I have been deadlocked for about a month on further parser work by this. You can use #{ #} for constructing material that ends up _inside_ of a chord. Something like \displayLilyMusic \displayLilyMusic ##{ c-. #} does not go up in flames but just does what one would expect. This is indeed an interesting case. Again, though, I would expect this to fail, precisely because #{#} manipulates the

If we don't want to have string numbers show up in the music, but we need them for the tabstaff, right now we can do c e g\3\2\1 In the future,c e g\3\2\1 won't assign the string numbers to the tabstaff.

Yes, I stumbled upon it while we were discussing some other problems concerning tablature, and I used this method to prevent the sting numbers showing up. \override StringNumber #'stencil = ##f yielded in errors (but I think this has changed recently), and simply setting \override StringNumber #'transparent = ##t still influenced the spacing for obvious reasons. Instead, as would be done regularly in lilypond, we would do \once \override StringNumber #'stencil = ##f c\3 e\2 g\1 This is consistent with how things are handled in lilypond, so I think we ought to move in this direction. As setting the stencil to false seems to work now, I agree with you that this is the more lilypondish way to go. Thanks for your explanations!

They are an intermediate level. They don't _need_ to be anything. Music functions are a useful tool for manipulating music at a level much closer to input than stream events are. They are employed in _several_ layers in the parser: for postevents, for base material, inside of chords. If they can do their work context independent, you don't need to make them cater for different contexts. In the context of writing music functions, #{ ... #} is a useful tool. Since it fires up its own parser, its result is not context dependent. You can't, for that reason, currently employ it usefully in chord context.

Some notes on 2240
I am currently writing a talk paper on recent developments in LilyPond which contains a few developments that have not in good conscience happened on more than my computer. I don't want to hold up 2240 on them, however. I currently have commit 8180dc91c26431e05913576cedfb9d92d64ce439 Author: David Kastrup d...@gnu.org Date: Sun Jan 22 18:39:59 2012 +0100 parser.yy: strip music-wrapper-music inside of EventChord This makes things like fis \transpose c g fis work. commit 751aa4192c75e3bf2436bf2053e041f7d33a6d7d Author: David Kastrup d...@gnu.org Date: Sun Jan 22 15:08:37 2012 +0100 parser.yy: avoid creating empty articulations on top of what is already in the review. The second one of those is uncontroversial (it checks event lists to be non-empty before setting the articulations property with them in order to avoid unnecessarily set properties) and would usually just get pushed to staging without review which is what I'll do when pushing 2240. The top one would be actually useful in current LilyPond but would likely look different in the parser (it changes the Event Chord iterator). I'll put it up for review soonish, but it will be blocked on 2240. Both problems were apparent while writing the article. The second in results of \displayMusic, the first when presenting the example tonika=fis' { \tonika \transpose c g \tonika } (something which breaks in multiple ways in current LilyPond).

You can run -j just fine, but you can't expect much of a speedup.

More importantly, you'll get to see the same kind of problems that the true multi-core people experience when using -j. So very much recommended for testing.

I do not pretend to the title of Lead Developer, Release Meister or whatever. If we report issues, regressions and make new features requests, it is not simply because we wallow in keep on whining or because we take a sadistic pleasure in giving some more work to the developers. I use LilyPond quite often, I try to help users both on the French users mailing list and on the international one. I report bugs, regressions, make new feature request, both from my experience with LilyPond and making the link between Developers/Users from the international lists and French Users on lilypond-user-fr (by announcing in French new features, fixed issues, important ongoing discussions French user might be concerned about, but also in the reverse way, by transmitting upstream issues discovered by French users or popular requests in the French users community). Yesterday I posted several messages on different LilyPond mailing lists. I replied to some users' questions/issues, I reported a regression bug type-critical and… I started a fight with Graham! I received at the same time thanks you from users (in English and French) and infuriation from devel. I received also acknowledgements and congratulations about the quality of the score I made with LilyPond from musicians of my orchestra. You want something done? Do it yourself. That's what open source means -- you have the legal right to do it yourself. It does not mean that other people are obligated to do it for you. I understand LilyPond is an open source project, lead by volunteers. That's why I do not complaint when I have to send by three times a bug report because it was first lost/forgotten, why I never *demand* developers to fix an issue, even if it is one that is really annoying my ego in almost every score I typeset. Sometimes when an issue has been unfixed for years and when I see people often being troubled by this issue I post a message stating it and thus moving this issue from the bottom of the pile. And sometimes a kind developer see this issue and start fixing it! :-) You have la liberté, not royauté. Users usually never get any kind of acknowledgements or sign of gratitude from developers for volunteering [also] few hours trying to help other users, reporting back issues/requests, trying to make the link between high skilled developers and lambda user. I expressed my deep feelings. Yes I was disappointed, like when I see a reply like a RTFM smack in the face of a new user, or as a no as only-argument answer to a request/suggestion. My main goal was to attract attention to Emilio's nice project of music font with LilyPond. I attracted Graham's attention on me instead. I guess my message was as much discouraging (or even more) as being told each time you make a suggestion You want something done? Do it yourself. Learn programming!. I do not want to fight with some developers. I think we all have the same objective: to improve LilyPond. And each one has its own way to contribute, at different levels and different implications. I would be delighted to offer our finest Belgian beer to LilyPond developers which I could meet at FOSDEM 2012. I am afraid my student budget does not allow me to pay developers to work full time on LilyPond. Cheers, Whining Xavier -- Xavier Scheuer x.sche...@gmail.com
Re: Glyphs for Kievan Notation (issue 4951062)
Regarding comments by Jan: I guess it should be 2.5 staff_space or something I changed the depth and height parameters as you suggested. However, I do not see any difference, in the reg tests or in my test files. Are we sure that the entire glyph has to fit within the char_box, including the stem? Regarding comments by Neil and Bertrand: I rewrote Stem::is_normal_stem the way Neil suggested. Looking at the code in Stem.cc, it appears that both ways are being used to check the style property. I don't know which is the more correct. http://codereview.appspot.com/4951062/ ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
