Default Tie positions too close

2009-10-02 Thread Jonathan Wilkes
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
}
}

Re: using lilypond for leadsheets

2009-10-02 Thread Jan-Peter Voigt

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. You should look in the documentation:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/index#index
;)

Regards,
Jan-Peter

I've resolved the aligning problems (both vertically and horizontally).

But now I can't put the proper distance between the items of the legenda.
In fact, when I used just \score I could use after-title-spacing and

Now the \score(s) are inside a \markup block, so that does not work

As far as I know, when you do something like

\markup {
 \fill-line { foo }
 \fill-line { bar }
}

then the bar part is shifted over the right page margin, so you don't 
see it - and has no effect
on the vertical spacing. Try searching in the lsr for vspace, then 
you'll find a suitable definition
for a \vspace command that can be inserted where you want some vertical 
space; the amount

will be set as an argument, e.g.
\vspace #5

NtEd-1.8.6 now has a Change Accidentals funtionallity:

which solves the problem without any workaround.


  After

I had a look into midi2ly. Althought I like Python and I know how much
things can be done with only a few Python lines, from my experience with

-- Score conversion is impossible with about 1000 Python lines.
It is more complicated.

Please have a look at this YouTube video:

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_8oTeH3v7M

The paper which the guy holds in his hand: This is MIDI!! Nothing
more is written into a MIDI file. No clefs, no slurs, no ties, no voices, no
accidentals, ... only holes, holes, holes! And now imagine you have
to create a score from only this sheet of paper! How to distribute the
holes onto voices? How to recognize triplets ? How to find chords ?

And - last not least - how to enlarge notes: If a piano player plays a serious 
of eighth
he/she releases the key often a bit earlier because he/she needs
time to place the finger onto the next key. If you create notes from
these holes you get an unplayable bunch of tied 16th+32th+64th notes + 64th
rest. This must be corrected.

And the programmers task is: Establish a set of rules which
transform every arbitrary paper with such holes into a good score! To do this 
...


so
that we don't have to run a GUI for this purpose.



... NtEd uses some intelligence derived from its interactive placing
algorithms.

I'm well aware of that. My first aim is to make midi2ly maybe not 
perfect but at least useable with not extremely complicated MIDI files. 
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. Maybe it can call midi2ly or musicxml2ly with the 
appropiate, configurable, commandline options to create a temporary 
file, and then load the result - ready for editing in the Frescobaldi 
editor ? Just a thought, maybe it can be done.

 I've found information on how to alter the second half of slurs which span

 keeping the cloned half at the default.

 I've constructed a simple example showing what happens when I break a
 certain slur.  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.

 Hi Joe,
  I have a quick question about this property you've added (which is 
 wonderful, btw):
 1) Should tied accidentals after line breaks be suppressed by default?

I don't know; that was the previous default value, so I left it the
same. I don't mind particularly if someone wants to change it.

 I've looked through some scores, and even thought there's more examples 
 than I thought there would be that show tied accidentals after breaks 
 (mainly orchestral scores, and mainly 20th century pieces from the 70s) 
 it seems in the vast majority of cases they aren't shown.
 
 On a related note, I like your original property name above, but I guess it
 would cause problems to change it now.

Again, I won't object if someone else wants to change it (as long as
there's a convert-ly rule).

Joe

Hi,
According to Gardner Read: It is not necessary to repeat the accidental
before a tied note . . . 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).
