funny construction
I'm stuck, y'all.
I have a song that goes like this:
--
soprano
alto
15 lyric verses in between
tenor
bass
soprano
alto
just one lyric in between - it's the chorus
tenor
bass
soprano
alto
15 lyric verses in between \repeatOfFourWords
tenor
bass
--
How do I lay this out? I have two problems:
1. How do I get the center staff to be not connected to the
other two?
2. How do I make three separate staffs? The code I have
right now makes one giant staff and tries to play all three
of them at once.
Right now, I've got this, which is wrong -
\score {
<<
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff<<
\new Voice = "altoTop" \altoTop
\break
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "versesTop" { lyrics... }

Long Compile time with version 2.19.44
Recently I updated my lilypond from 2.18 to 2.19.44. I am
using Frescobaldi for the GUI.
It used to take only a few seconds to compile a score, but
now it takes at least 28 seconds every time.
This is the case even if I don't create a midi.
Am I missing something, or is this the case for everyone?
Even for this minimal example without any compile errors, it
took 28.3 seconds - which is my new average time.

Re: offset for lyrics does not offset the lyric hyphens
Mr. Morley, I thought I did open a new thread on the user list... Well, I only recall one alternative and that is using Harm's (is that the same as Abraham?) stanza script. But like I mentioned, the numbers end up in various places. Using instrumentName always puts them in the same place. I would be glad to avoid using instrumentName if I can get things to work out the way I want. I want the numbers to appear in the same place on every line instead of varying positions. I'll start a new thread to ask Mr. Harm about fixing the number positions.

offset for lyrics does not offset the lyric hyphens
Hey! I think I may have found a possible bug.
So, I have been playing around with the use of
instrumentName and shortInstrumentName for uses of numbering
lyrics.
Now, when have a key signature that doesn't take up much
horizontal space on the bar then it is possible that the
numbers may overlap some of the lyric text.
So you can use
\override Lyrics.LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(2 . 0)
to move the lyric text around so that it is out of the way
of the numbers.
However, this causes a few problems:
1. Since it is an offset it does not affect how the text
lines up with the music notes - but I think this is correct
procedure for an offset.
2. And this is the bug (I think) - hyphenated lyrics move,
but their -- hyphens do not move with them. So the offset
causes the lyric words to overlap their hyphens.
You can see the overlap here in wo -- rds, wi -- th, and
stanz -- as
I have attached a minimal example.
All of that having been said, is there a way to move the
text along with the notes? In other words, can I push the
music with its lyrics to the right a little bit somehow to
get space?
(I'm still playing with Harm's stanza trick; but I like the
instrumentName method better because it keeps the numbers in
the same place on every bar and doesn't shift position on
account of word lengths)

Get rid of trailing KeyCancellation
Joram,
So, I want to do this in the layout context because I want
to use it in an include.
It will get rid of the time signature, but I can't get rid
of the KeyCancellation that appears at the end of the line
after a \break. How do I get rid of that?
\override Staff.TimeSignature.break-visibility =
#end-of-line-invisible
\override Staff.KeyCancellation.break-visibility =
#end-of-line-invisible
(If someone told me already, I'm sorry if I missed it; email
conversations are difficult to follow at best, IMHO).

Re: space the width of key signature
Thanks for the discussion, fellas,
So, is there an easy way for me to do this? I only want to
number every line.
If I use \stanza then it only numbers the first line.
If I use \instrumentName then it numbers correctly, but
doesn't leave room for the repeating clef. I can adjust the
position with
\layout {
\context{ \Lyrics
\override LyricText #'extra-offset =
#'(1.2 . 0)
}}
but that causes the top number to overlap the tail of the
G-clef.
Harm suggested a code he made for fixing stanza - is that
okay to use? I was trying to keep up with the coding
discussion, but am not sure where things stand.

Re: space the width of key signature
Because stanza numbers only appear on the first line. Using instrumentName to label verse numbers provides automatic numbering on every line. It wasn't my idea, actually, credit for that goes to Thomas Morley a few issues ago in Vol 163:issue 95. It works quite well.

\override InstrumentName.font-size = 0

This puts my numbering just under the three flat signs in
c-minor.
But my problem is that in c-major the lyric text overlaps
the numbers.
So, how can I insert a "blank" in the staff where I'd
normally have the three flats? (I'm looking in the docs
at \staff and horizontal spacing)

space the width of key signature
There is this one song that is in c-minor and so the key
signature shows the three flat signs at the beginning of
each staff.
But c-major doesn't need any extra signs.
However, I am numbering my lyrics like this so that I get
numbers on every line:
\new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = "8."
shortInstrumentName = "8." }
\context{
\Lyrics
% Verse numbering using instrumentname
\override InstrumentName.X-offset = 3
\override InstrumentName.font-size = 0

Re: tiny function
Thanks, Mr. Meyn,
That certainly does the trick.
So you can't write macros for \with{} statements?
Why couldn't I do it this way, if I just want to create the
\with statement?
Where can I find the docs to explain how the macro works?
(I've looked all over)
verseNumber = #(define-music-function(whatnumber)(string?)#{
\with { instrumentName = whatnumber shortInstrumentName =
whatnumber } #})

Re: tiny function
No, I *want* to use instrument names, not stanza numbers.
But my question isn't about that.
I am trying to figure out how to write a function where I
can supply the value for a variable inside it.
myfunction(somevar){
;do stuff
}
If were programming in a coding language, I would do this:
addVerseNumber(whatnumber){
return "\new Lyrics \with { instrumentName = whatnumber
. "." shortInstrumentName = whatnumber . "." }}"
}

Re: Set Stanza for every staff
Well, that does indeed number every line, but it places the
number outside the borders of the lyric text. Set Stanza
made the number inline with the lyrics.
Set Stanza:
1. lyr- ic
instrumentname
1. lyric
So, I'm trying to fix the alignment. I'd like to do it in
the \layout bracket if possible.
I am trying this, but it doesn't do the trick:

Set Stanza for every staff
In my music I have been using \set stanza = "1. " to get line numbering for the lyrics. But this only numbers the beginning of the lyric's line. I can manually insert that to get the numbering to appear within the lyric line, but what I need is for it to appear at the start of each lyric as it dynamically shifts. Manually could look like this: \set stanza = "1. " Bla bla bla \set stanza = "1. " ha ha ha to get 1. Bla Bla Bla 2. ha ha ha however, when the music spreads itself across the bars it might break differently, creating this: 1. Bla Bla Bla 2. ha ha ha So is there a way to make it auto-number the lyric lines? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Flute Accompaniment
In my piece I have a piano staff with the music on the bottom staff. In the upper staff it is supposed to be notes for recorder or flute accompaniment. In the original the flute notes and its staff are all a bit smaller in size. What do you call those smaller notes? I want to make the entire top staff + the notes just smaller so it is obvious to the singers not to try and sing the accompaniment.

Re:Insert text between staves
Well, I know how to do *that* - that is, I know how to get

But I want text above and below the scores - sort of like a

At the end of each page, about 3/4 inch below the last line

should be repeated after each verse).

Insert text between staves
How can I insert this text in between staves?
mytext = \markup { \tiny \italic "Repeat Chorus after every

The only place I can seem to place it is *outside* the score
- either before or after it. I've tried putting it in other
places too, to no avail. If I put it before or after the
score it just appears at the top of the score on the first page.

Re: Vertical justification after \pagebreak
Jacques,
I've been playing with this for awhile.
My summary: I wanted the chorus on one page and the verses
on page two, so I inserted the \pageBreak. It made two
pages, but stretched the score to fit the page by inserting
space between the staves. But I wanted the staves to look
normal on the page.
Funny thing is that neither ragged command does anything
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
ragged-bottom = ##f
However, this line fixes the vertical spacing
system-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0.3)
(padding . 2) )
But I needed this line to bring the score on the first page
back to the top
markup-system-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 0.3)
(padding . 2) )%re-aligns the first page to th top
Not very straightforward, but it works!
Thanks for all of your suggestions.
Here's my score:
\score{
<<
\new Staff { \chorus \pageBreak \verses }
\chorusLyrics
\firstVerse
\secondVerse
>>
\layout{}
}

Vertical justification after \pagebreak
In my music, I have the chorus at the top and the verses
following. Since my music is longer than one page, it
overflows to the next. So, since I'm using two pages, I
figured I would insert a \pagebreak so that the chorus is on
page 1 and the verses on page 2. This works fine, but now
my problem is that the space between staves is too far and
it looks funny - as if it were justified vertically.
So, instead of this:
x
x
x
it looks like:
Here's my score:
\score{
<<
\new Staff { \chorus \pageBreak \verses }
\chorusLyrics
\firstVerse
\secondVerse
>>
\layout{}
}
Now, I've played with \override
VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing, but nothing I
try there seems to have any effect.

Harm - thanks! That's more like what I imagined. It lets me keep the chorus
and the verses in separate vars - it's just what I was hoping for.

Note that this is not a theoretical issue. Especially in French
impressionistic piano music like the works of Debussy and Ravel
I've seen such a notation, and having a `\shortTie' command would
be handy.
