I have a question: can I declare the alternating time signature on the

You could use a parallel voice that switches the time signatures using 
\repeat unfold and a suitable count.


Another option is to use a compound meter.  The only catch is that you 
will not get a bar line between the 4/4 and 5/4, as the compound meter 
treats each measure as the sum 4+5/4.


See the following for examples of both approaches:


\version "2.19.82"

someMusic = \fixed c' {
  | c2 d4 c f2 g4 f8 e d c
  | g2 a4 g e8 f g a g2 e4
  | f4 g a bg4 c' b c'2
}

\new Staff <<
  { \numericTimeSignature
\repeat unfold 3 { \time 4/4 s4*4 \time 5/4 s4*5 } }
  { \someMusic }




\new Staff { \compoundMeter #'((4 5 4)) \someMusic }

On this topic, the original query still stands. Would it be possible to use
SMuFL glyphs in the Accidental glyph-name-list?

Re: An interesting accidental glyph

2019-04-28 Thread Andrew Bernard
Very amusing. But in all seriousness, what is this thing? I am unable to
find any evidence for the existence of this symbol outside of Emmentaler. I
cant find it in SMuFL, and that has hundreds of rare accidentals. My
limited imagination finds it hard to understand how you can alter a pitch
in two directions at once. Unless this is some sort of vibrato sign. But
would any musicians know how to interpret it?

I just went to http://music.maden.org/index.php?title=Shower_Chanteys in
Firefox 60.6esr then on the second line clicked on "download the
songbook" which took me to
http://music.maden.org/images/7/72/Shower_Chanteys.pdf.  I then selected
print and let the system sort itself out.  I have seen a similar problem
over fonts with FF before though, it displays perfectly, then somewhere
in a long printout gets itself in a mess.

If, on the other hand, I explicitly download the PDF to my machine, then
Evince Document Viewer 3.28.2 is called up and both display and printing
work perfectly.

If I can answer your PM to me here: unfortunately I can't show you a
recording, it is the way I learnt it in the 1970s.  I remember seeing
text about the mode shift and asking a teacher at school.  My father
seemed to think I had it right, and he was ex RN for his National Service.

I have a question: can I declare the alternating time signature on the

  \time 4/4 5/4%?
  c4 c c c
  c c c c c

}

I could not find it anywhere in docs and snippets but I swear I saw it
somewhere... 
Could you help me with this?

Thanks in advance

That’s really interesting!  This was done with LP 2.18.2, with no 
special modifications to the defaults; the tempi are just things like:


\tempo 2. = 60

What software are you using that shows problems?  The MediaWiki 
thumbnails (made with ImageMagick, I believe) came out fine, and Atril 
and Evince show it fine.  I have not tested the output in Adobe Reader

Re: Edition Engraver master vs refactor override branch: changing bound-details

2019-04-28 Thread Jan-Peter Voigt
Hi Stefano,

sorry for the delay. I've been away for several days.
I have to look into this deeper ... I guess it is related to the
grob-property-path 'bound-details.left.text'.
Hopefully I can solve this issue soon.

Re: Using SMuFL accidental glyphs

2019-04-28 Thread Andrew Bernard
Answering my own query, this may be useful for others searching the
archives in the future. This example uses the openlilylib
custom-music-fonts code to load Bravura, and this example shows how a SMuFL
glyph can be used as an accidental. Quite handy, even if I do so day myself.

[Obviously this wont compile unless you have openlilylib set up. It's
illustrative.]

Andrew

%==

\version "2.21.0"

\include "custom-music-fonts/smufl/definitions.ily"

accidentalHalfSharpArrowUp =

  #ly:text-interface::print
  \once \override Voice.Accidental.text =

\smuflglyph "accidentalHalfSharpArrowUp"

  $note #})

Using SMuFL accidental glyphs

2019-04-28 Thread Andrew Bernard
SMuFL has a large collection of accidental glyphs, some of which I need.
The openlilylib custom-music-fonts snippet enables the use of SMuFL fonts
and works pretty well for me. But I would like to add a SMuFL accidental to
the Accidental.glyph-name-alist, for my locally customised note name set,
and this is obviously not straightforward. Is it in fact possible at all?

If not, is there a way to use a particular SMuFL accidental for a single
note?
