TrillSpanners not lining up

2014-06-17 Thread David Stephen Grant
Hello,
I'm having some trouble with TrillSpanners not lining up correctly. The
manuals seem to indicate that two successive TrillSpanners should be able
to line up vertically without any explicit \stopTrillSpan, but in the
following example the second trill is printed higher than the first, as if
avoiding a collision. Any ideas?
Best, David

\version 2.19.8
{
  d''1\startTrillSpan |
  d''1\startTrillSpan |
  R1\stopTrillSpan |

Re: Changing Tuning

2014-06-17 Thread Federico Bruni
Hi Omer

you forgot to reply to the list.
No, we've never received your file. Please send us a minimal example (if
possible) and we'll try to help you.

Anyway, is this the 10 string lute tuning?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lute#mediaviewer/File:Tuning-ren.png

It should be something like this:

\version 2.18.2


music = {

c,16 d, e, f, g, c f a d' g'

}


\score {

\new StaffGroup 

\new Staff { \clef treble_8 \music }

\new TabStaff \with {

stringTunings = \stringTuning c, d, e, f, g, c f a d' g'

} \music



}





2014-06-16 19:35 GMT+02:00 Omer Katzir kome...@gmail.com:

 well, yes, not sure why, but now it works (my file was corrupted I'm not
 even sure I sent you guys the working version)

 Now there's two things I need if possible.
 1. Is it possible to fine tune it, like removing the extra tab lines? lute
 tabalture has 6 like just like guitar, the 7th string is written below the
 lowest bass, the 8th is a\ (the \ is above the note, don't have it on this
 keyboard) 9th is b\\ (two lines) and 10th is a\\\ (three lines)
 2. is it possible to fine tune the strings using Hz (assuming equal
 temperament)?

 Thank You again,
 Omer Katzir

Mac testers needed for Frescobaldi! (again)

2014-06-17 Thread Davide Liessi
Dear FrescobaldiLilyPondMac users,
some months ago I published a DMG disk image containing an
experimental Frescobaldi.app bundle.

Some packaging problems were reported ([1]):
- lack of MIDI support (PortMIDI was not included),
- impossibility to run convert-ly and musicxml2ly (the wrong Python
interpreter was used for the scripts bundled in LilyPond.app).

During the last days I was able to fix these problems (at least on my machine).
I uploaded a new version of Frescobaldi.app, based on the newly
released 2.0.16, at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/whu5qnn5pys81ix/Frescobaldi-2.0.16-devapp-20140616.dmg

The application contains some 64 bit code, so it won't run on machines
with 32 bit CPU (I'll try to solve this in the next iteration).

I would be very grateful if you could download the application, test
it and report any issues.
In particular you should test if MIDI output is working [2] and if you
are able to update a file with convert-ly and to import a MusicXML
file (example MusicXML files at [3]).

The test should be harmless: the only collateral effect is that any
change you'll make to the settings inside this application bundle will
be picked up by your usual installation of Frescobaldi, since they'll
share the same preferences file. [4]

The previous tests revealed only the mentioned problems, so the
application should be quite stable.
However this application bundle is still considered experimental, so I
don't recommend it for everyday use (although I really appreciate
people testing it in everyday use cases).
After the tests I advise you to delete the application bundle and wait
for the official release. [5]

Last but not least, I would like to thank once again the users who
tested the previous version of the application.

Best wishes.
Davide


[1] The splash screen bug
(https://github.com/wbsoft/frescobaldi/issues/428) and some very
critical usability problems (in particular compatibility with screen
readers) were also reported, but they are certainly unrelated to the
installation method, so I didn't address them.

[2] I remind you that in order to have MIDI support
FluidSynth/qsynth/SimpleSynth must be running and Frescobaldi must
recognize the MIDI ports (you should either start *synth before
Frescobaldi or refresh the MIDI ports in Frescobaldi's preferences).

[3] http://www.musicxml.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/xmlsamples.zip

[4] Actually, if your usual version of Frescobaldi is older than
October 2013, your settings will become inaccessible from that
version, while they will still be accessible from versions of the
program newer than that date.
But if you're running such an old version, you should seriously
consider updating to the newly released 2.0.16 (it will be available
through MacPorts in a few days): Frescobaldi has improved a whole lot
in the last months!

[5] To avoid messing with your current setup (except for the settings
changes mentioned in [4]) and forgetting to delete the application
bundle after the test, you can run the application directly from the
disk image, without copying it to the /Applications directory.

Changing the direction of a tuplet bracket

2014-06-17 Thread Knute Snortum
I want to change the direction of a tuplet bracket (up in this case).  I
read the manual on tuplets and it says

Tuplet brackets may be manually placed above or below the staff; see Direction
and placement
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/direction-and-placement
.

But neither the tuplet nor the direction section has an example.  I figured
the syntax would be like tweaks:

\version 2.18.2
\language english

\relative c'' {
  ^\tuplet 3/2 2 { af ef' f4 f af ef' f f af ef' f f }
}

But this produces a syntax error.  I've tried putting the caret other
places to no avail.

So what's the correct syntax?  And can an example be put in either the
tuplet or the direction section of the manual?

Thanks.

problem. LilyPond is a music typesetting program, and it’s firstly 
intended to produce sheet music which follows usual standards, though 
with better typographical quality and thus also distinctly better 
readable than most other typesetting available. Nevertheless I don’t 
think it will be a substantial support in your case. The only thing 
which comes to my mind (and which has something to do with LilyPond) is 
Clairnote, an alternative notation system which claims to be easier to 
read in principle: http://www.clairnote.org. I’ve no idea whether this 
is in fact an improvement, and less so, if it comes to your case.

Else I can only say:
– Improvise! Improvisation is often underestimated and an extremely 
valuable way of making music. It does of course depend on the kind of 
music you’re in: it’s possible to improvise in (almost) every style, but 
for some it’s more common. And it’s important to have a good teacher, I 
think.
– Or learn by heart! It’s what blind musicians do, and most certainly 
it’s not only a disadvantage of not being able to read sheet music, but 
it also allows a much deeper understanding of the music, both 
intellectually and emotionally, than if you only ever read the music 
from sheets.


I hope these small thought are of some use to you.
Best regards,

Simon

Re: Changing Tuning

2014-06-17 Thread Omer Katzir
OK, so now that I tried it, I still need some changes to optimize it like I’m 
writing on paper.
as I’m not a master in Lilypond (yet) I will have to ask the hive mind again

Basically I use two staves, one for bass one for the upper voices (usually 
two). Now, I tried to add a staff in the example you sent me, both by creating 
new staff group below the low tab staff and by just adding
  \new staff {
\clef “bass”
\low
}

I got errors all over the place, I can paste if really needed, but it seems 
like I’m just missing something, I guess I’m getting confused because i’m 
pretty much a nub when it comes to advance tactics.  

Thank You again for your help

Try \tupletUp ahead of where you wish to implement the change in

I agree, the NR section you refer to could be made clearer.  You are given a

Keira,

Based on the discussion I perused at the link Hans provided, Lilypond 
might be able to help the dyslexic musician through the use of color:

Check out Coloring notes depending on their pitch as a starting point at 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/snippets/pitches

Of course Lilypond is very flexible, and once you have the music entered 
(the hard part) you can adjust things like sizes and spacing, if that can 
help, too.

Just my 2 cents. I am not an expert.

Re: [Frescobaldi] Mac testers needed for Frescobaldi! (again)

Dear Davide,

I am glad to report that everything has gone well so far with testing the new 
app bundle.  I was able to successfully play midi, run convert-ly, and convert 
musicxml files with musicxml2ly.  I will keep using it and let you know if I 
notice any problems.

(I am running osx 10.9.3, operating system info from About Frescobaldi: 
Darwin-13.2.0-x86_64-i386-64bit)

Thank you for all your work on this, and thanks to Wilbert and the other 
Frescobaldi contributors for the newest 2.0.16 version!

All the best,
-Paul

If you are just missing something, pointing it out when you actually
give the example that does not work instead of hinting at it would be
much easier.

However, the short quote above contains several errors.  You write staff
instead of Staff, you use “” quote marks (symmetric) instead of 
(straight double).  And the placement of \low in a simultaneous music
construct looks somewhat fishy though it will probably work as \low is
the only simultaneous music in it.

 I guess I’m getting confused because i’m pretty much a nub when it
 comes to advance tactics.

Copy and paste or even just careful retyping are not all that advanced
tactics.  Computers are picky.
