Are there overrides that would permit the tuplet brackets to be

Try overriding their outside-staff-priority to ##f – Lily will then 
consider them within-staff objects as in

This is super exciting! And thanks for putting together a video
demonstration. That's very helpful. It's nice having tools like this around.

Just write your durations like

and the Completion_heads_engraver will handle them fine.

A semi tone difference is indeed noticeable but surely there is no semitone 
between e sharp and f flat?
It’s the same key on the piano! Where is the semitone?
Instead of enlightening me you simply reply with a superior and dismissive tone 
which is uncalled for.


Two little points.

Firstly, please DON'T reply beneath someone else's signature. Okay, 
you're probably using a broken email client (otherwise it wouldn't let 
you), but it makes things *really* confusing, especially if a non-broken 
client tries to "correct" things and makes it even worse, and


Secondly, if someone comes back at you like this, your immediate 
reaction should be "hang on, is this a corner case" - that's a 
programming term - it's a place where either reality or your assumptions 
change - and it's an *extremely* common cause of errors because all too 
often reality and assumptions don't change in exactly the same place! As 
indeed, is exactly what happened here.


I "often" play in six flats, and am interested in pentatonic (ie all 
black note) folk music, so it was instantly obvious to me what David was 
talking about, although if you're not into that you might not notice 
straight away. And why do people assume everyone plays the piano? My 
piano skills are Grade 0, despite me being a pretty decent amateur 
musician ...

I tried that, but as you pointed out, it doesn't really work.
however for reasons I don’t know only the composer actually gets larger… 
Anyone know why?


Presumably because the other parts (such as the title) are specified to 
use absolute font sizes, while the composer uses the default font size.

You have to redefine bookTitleMarkup and/or scoreTitleMarkup in a 
stylesheet that you use only for the full score, and enclose the entire 
\markup expression in \markup \larger \larger {} or the like.

It should be as simple as

%%
\paper {
  bookTitleMarkup = \markup \fontsize #3 #bookTitleMarkup
}

\header {
  title = "foo"
  composer = "J.Chr.bar"
}

\markup\null
%

however for reasons I don’t know only the composer actually gets larger…

The keyboard should be among them, with a line like this:

I guess you don't want Fluidsynth playing as well as your keyboard. You
could go to Linux.lua and delete lines 18-24, so that the LinuxOpenSynth
function does nothing and looks like this:

LinuxOpenSynth = function()
end

It seems to work OK...

Hi Martin,

I've been playing around on my Fedora partition and I can't seem to
replicate the problem. These listings by id are symlinks to "files" in
/dev/input:

[vaughan@Lenovo input]$ cd by-id
[vaughan@Lenovo by-id]$ ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd -> ../event3
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-event-mouse -> ../event4
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Jun 27 22:45
usb-Logitech_USB-PS_2_Optical_Mouse-mouse -> ../mouse0

In this case, usb-CHICONY_USB_NetVista_Full_Width_Keyboard-event-kbd is
just a symlink to event3 in /dev/input

For the moment you could try typing

> cat /proc/bus/input/devices

Which will list all your devices.

The keyboard should be among them, with a line like this:

H: Handlers=sysrq kbd leds event3

Get the last word and put it into LQconfig.lua like this:
deviceName = "/dev/input/event3"

If your input devices change, this id might change. I might be able to
automate this procedure. Good luck.

Re: Transpose range Apology

[Peter Gentry]

Apologies you must think me some kind of retarded idiot. I must learn to
think a bit before mistyping rubbish but at 76 these niceties seem a lost
cause.

 

Yes yes yes there is a problem with the tone tone semitone tone tone tone
semitone  notation and the octave note alteration calculation.

 

In my defence I hurriedly sent of a response to a question with some very
old code. At the time I did not solve the problem of computing a unique
number to represent the pitch.

 

The approximation in the code works because I was only interested in
modifying the octave component of the pitch.  The problem only has an impact
in the calculation of the range of an instrument and has never caused a
problem although I accept it could at the end points of each instrument
range.

 

So please don't be too hard on an old codger who just tried to help a fellow
dabbler out.

[ANN] LilyQuick 0.94beta - Quick note Lilypond entry using MIDI for Linux

[Vaughan McAlley]

Greetings,

I’m pleased to announce LilyQuick 0.94beta. The main new feature is that it
counts rhythms as you go and automatically enters bar checks. Also, some
settings have been made reachable from within LilyQuick rather than just
the settings file.

You can get LilyQuick here: https://github.com/palestrina/lily-q

I did a video demo that you can view here: https://youtu.be/eh8mgF1CNAo
(sorry about the background hiss)

>From the README:

Welcome to LilyQuick, originally written as a replacement for Speedy Note
Entry when I moved from Finale to Lilypond, and then much improved. The
basic idea is to play notes on a MIDI keyboard with your left hand, then
while they are sounding, press a note on the numeric keypad with your right
hand corresponding to the duration. For example, to get "f2", play an F on
the MIDI keyboard, and press number 5 on the numeric keypad. The advantage
to this approach is excellent speed and accuracy, and you get to hear the
notes as they are being entered.

Happy note-entering!
