Default Tie positions too close
Hello, For some large chords, the tie positions end up nearly on top of one another. The commented-out override in the snippet below helps somewhat, but it would be nice if these could be handled more elegantly by default. -Jonathan Snippet: \version 2.13.3 \relative c' { \clef bass \time 3/4 c c c \break | \new Voice { \voiceOne b2.~ b~ b } \new Voice { \voiceTwo e,,~ f~ g~ e'~ f~2. e~ f~ g~ e'~ f~ e f g e' f } } \layout { \context { \Score % \override Tie #'details #'intra-space-threshold = #100 } } __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: using lilypond for leadsheets
Hello Peter, a short answer about transposition in schort: Need to transpose to 'C', 'Bb', 'Eb' and have treble and bass keys. What I do, if I have a trumpet voice is: - snippet --- \new Staff { \transposition bes % display in Bb for trumpet \transpose c d { % transpose one key up \relative c'' { \key d \minor % the key of the score bes a c b } } } - snippet --- this produces a score in e minor and a midi-file in d minor. Don't know what you actually need, but as a starting hint: - snippet --- \score { \new ChordNames { \chordmode { c1 g:7 c } } \new Staff { \new Voice = mel \relative c'' { c1 d e } } \new Lyrics \lyricsto mel { \lyricmode { dub -- bi du } } \layout { } \midi { } } - snippet --- These are some essential elements.

The current version is too buggy to be useable with even the simplest MIDI file. The resulting lilypond file can then be edited and corrected by hand. Which brings me to a featurerequest to the guy(s) that develop Frescobaldi: It would be nice if Frescobaldi had menu items import MIDI file and import MusicXML.

In the second version, I'd like the first half of the slur to begin above the stem (as it does in the unbroken example) while keeping the second half of the slur exactly as it is. Is there a way to do this by adjusting the workaround from the Difficult Tweaks section of the NR? I would appreciate any help you could give me with this! It's easier than you think! The first half of the broken slur is just the original slur. So the following override inserted just before the note on which the slur starts will lift the start of the first part a bit: \once\override Slur #'positions = #'( 4 . 0 ) (Note that the slur positions are not continuously variable - changing them seems to cause discontinuous jumps in position sometimes. I don't know why.) This is not too bad, but if you want something more precise you'll need to tweak the control points of the slur.

The one exception to this general rule occurs when the note or notes affected by the accidental and tied over the barline come at the end of a system or at the bottom of the page. It is helpful to the performer if the accidental is repeated . . . (Music Notation, p.131) I know I have spent a lot of time adding these accidentals in Finale (and redoing them whenever the layout changed), and I very much appreciate that 2.12.2 takes care of them automatically! Hi David, Thanks for that quote; I don't currently have access to Read's manual. Well, I still have my Beethoven sonatas out from my last posting on here, and those tied accidentals after line breaks are a lot more common than I thought. In the Schenker edition, they're inconsistent: sometimes an accidental is parenthesized, sometimes its suppressed, but more often than not they're there. In Henle they seem to always be printed (and beautiful). However, I've got a Peters edition score where they're always suppressed (it's also a modern score, and I wonder if that's where the difference stems from). Here's an idea: how about just showing the behavior of 'hide-tied-accidental-after-break in NR 1.1.1, under the heading Accidentals, in the example that follows this sentence: Accidentals on tied notes are only printed at the beginning of a new system. [add this] These accidentals may also be suppressed. [see attached] Currently, 'hide-tied-accidental-after-break is only listed in NR A.14. In fact, I remember seeing it there when I was entering a score, and spending 10 very confused minutes trying to figure out why the heck \override Tie #'hide-tied-accidental-after-break = ##t wouldn't work! (Yes, I know it's a property of Accidental now). -Jonathan % % Start cut--pastable-section % \paper { indent = 0\mm line-width = 160\mm - 2.0 * 0.4\in ragged-right = ##t force-assignment = # line-width = #(- line-width (* mm 3.00)) } \layout { } \relative c'' { % % ly snippet contents follows: % \sourcefileline 379 cis1 ~ cis ~ \break cis \override Accidental #'hide-tied-accidental-after-break = ##t cis ~ \break cis % % end ly snippet % } ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
