I'm writing some technical exercises like that one mentioned by Francesco
so your example is perfect.

I will follow your suggestion and your code.

I attached for other users a screenshot of your suggestion.

Grazie Francesco!
Thank you also to Abraham and Erik!

Hi Gianmaria

As far as I know, the most wide-accepted practice is to enclose the music into 
a repeated section ||: :|| and to write how many times it should be played, or 
“ad libitum” if it is to leave to the freedom of the player.

In didactical examples it is appropriate to give some instructions before the 
music pattern. However it’s not uncommon to see staff lines continuing a bit 
past the last bar, maybe with an accompanying “etc.” text.

All these things can be done pretty easily in lilypond, like the following 
example, freely taken from “Rational principles of piano techinque” by Cortot:

\version "2.19.59"

\score {
  \header {
piece = \markup { "Esercizio n. 1b" \italic "(cominciando col 2° dito - m. 
d. e col 4° - m. s.)" }
  }

  \new Staff \with {
\remove Time_signature_engraver
instrumentName = \markup {
  \center-column {
\line {
  \box "C" "*"
}
\line {
  \box "H" \box "R"
}
  }
}
  } <<
\time 2/4
\new Voice \relative c' {
  \repeat volta 2 {
d16^2_4 c^1_5 e^3_3 f^4_2 g^5_1 f^4_2 e^3_3 c^1_5 |
  }
  \repeat volta 2 {
d16 c f e g e f c |
  }
}
  >>
}

\markup {
  \column {
\justify {
  *) Esempio tratto dall’esercizio n. 1b (Serie B, capitolo I)
}
  }
}

\score {
  \new Staff \with {
\remove Bar_engraver
\remove Time_signature_engraver
instrumentName = "ascendendo:"
  } \relative c' {
d16 c e f g f e c dis cis eis fis gis fis eis cis e d fis g a g fis d f es 
g 
as bes as g es \hideNotes fis \stopStaff e-\tweak TextScript.staff-padding #'() 
-\markup { \italic "ecc." }
  }

  \layout {
#(layout-set-staff-size 16)
  }
}




This should help you, I hope.

Unless I'm really not understanding your question, pretty sure you don't
need anything fancy. A simple "simile" or just "sim." should do here.

Hello everyone.

I don't know anyone who has lilypond who can help me with writing up a
piano reduction, so I thought I would ask the list.

I have a project that is (technically) due next Monday. But I don't have
the time to mess with all the lilypond errors I'm getting from trying to
use \partcombine. I'm still finishing composing.

I was wondering if anyone was willing to do the reduction for me or
extensively help ( ie look at the files themselves and see what's wrong
with it )?

Even if I complete the piano reduction by the end of May that would be
fantastic.

Thanks,

It's about 1 hr 15 minutes. It's a one act opera. Written for
flute/piccolo, oboe, clarinet, percussion, string quartet.

Sorry I left this information out.

If this means that you have a working edition of your score and parts I'm
lilypond already,

I'd be able to offer some suggestions along the lines of how I create
condensed scores on grand staff.

However, I will note at the outset that creating a piano reduction is not
the same as combining parts, and is itself a creative compositional task.

Especially given your time frame and the length of the piece, doing a
proper job might be out of scope.

ellipsis point music

[Gianmaria Lari]

Is there any musical equivalent symbol for the ellipsis points used to
indicates "and so forth"?

For example, suppose you have an exercise where there is a pattern to play
in different tonality. You write the first two or three measures and then I
would like to indicate "and so forth". What I should use for that in
lilypond?

Thank you, g.

3 Voices mess

[Johannes Roeßler]

Hi list :)

I'm setting an 18th century piano fantasy and need advice.

There is one spot with 3 Voice in one staff. In the manuscript the direction of 
the stem seems (to me) to indicate the hand that should be used.

Now I have to decide to keep this information an receive an ugly and hardly 
readable print or to drop this information and try to work with chords whenever 
this is possible.

Or u guys got a helpful hint...

Cheers, Joei

Here my code - the stemUps and Downs are used to force the original setting...


--8<-
\version "2.19.58"
\language "deutsch"

global = {
  \key f \major
  \time 2/4
}

rightOne = \relative c''' {
  \global
r8  b16 d, d[ (es)] es (f) f[(g)] c e, e[(f)] f(g) g[ a c8] c4
}

rightTwo = \relative c'' {
  \global
 r8 \stemUp b8 r8  \stemDown b8~b  \stemUp c4   c8~c \stemDown a' a4
}

rightThree = \relative c'' {
  \global \stemDown
r8 as8[ g d] es b' a e f4 r16 d e fis
 }

\score {
  \new PianoStaff \with {
instrumentName = "Kl."
  } <<
\new Staff = "right" \with {
  midiInstrument = "acoustic grand"
} << \rightOne \\ \rightTwo \\ \rightThree >>
 >>
  \layout { }
  }

Re: XML to .ly and Lilypond, again

[Leszek Wroński]

Hi Robert,

thanks! I tried your file and I get similar messages:

-
musicxml2ly: Reading MusicXML from Kyrie_copy.xml ...
musicxml2ly: Converting to LilyPond expressions...
()
musicxml2ly: Output to `Kyrie_copy.ly'

data, consumed = self.encode(object, self.errors)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position
19: unexpected code byte

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit Python 2.7.12, and Lilypond 2.19.48.

So is it the case that musicxml2ly is trying to apply the ''utf8'
codec' to the whole file while parts of it are conded in utf16?

Cheers,

Leszek.
