Some new tutorials in Spanish
Hello, I'd like to share my last attempt of a series of ultra-fast tutorials in Spanish. I realize they are not useful at all for experienced users (obviously) and maybe also not that useful for absolute novices. But it's been fun doing them, and I'll hopefully cover the basic features of the language. I fell in some stupid mistakes in the first one. They were replaced by some other stupid mistakes in the second.

Re: version 2.18.2 - incorrect bar numbers with full measure rests
El 25/3/20 a las 8:10, Eby Mani escribió: Thank you all for correcting my understanding. As Torsten explained, since in 4/4, full-measure rest is coded internally as R1*8 and likewise for other time signatures, wouldn't it be possible do code to treat full-measure rest as graphically and musically based on time signature as the name implies ?. E.g. something like r\fmr or \RF would place graphically and musically correct rest based on the time signature. \RF*8 would cover 8 full measures based on the time signature. So actual timing would be context dependant. Another simultaneous expression could change time signature and that would change durations in this one. This would be dangerous for those who expect a robust, hardwired duration as usual in lilypond code. Code is not visual, for good or bad.

I installed lyp, and wanting to take advantage of all the great stuff it allows us to have, I uninstalled my system lilypond and re-installed it in lyp, along the all-new stable version. Let's clarify, correct me if I'm wrong I guess you have a Linux OS. By "System version" do you mean standard package for your distribution? "In lyp" means in a folder with that name? I installed all packages as well. To my dismay, it did not print at all. Here you should tell exactly which stage of the whole printing process you reached. "Printing" is sometimes used in the manuals for "rendering" but there are intermediate PS files which could be correct even if latest Ghostscript command fails. Searching the list, I found a similar problem in a thread about an issue with postscript. I tried to remedy according to what I read, it did not work. Please specify the issue with accompanying links and it will be easier for everyone to help. So I uninstalled the lyp-2.19.84 and reinstalled the system 2.19.84. Suddenly it can print, just like before. Of course, the lyp-installed 2.20 still cannot. Also, both the lyp version and the system version understand all lyp commands ("require" etc). Requisites are dependant packages? Our binary is not a package, it does not perform automatic installation of any other packages like your package manager does. The system version which at the moment is the only one to print, understands them but doesn't render them. How do you know it understands them? It probably ignores them for some reason. Do you get any messages that suggest so? For example, I instruct it to print with the bravura font, but it doesn't follow through. Trying to render a file with an alternative font is the last thing I would ever try before having made a simple file to work. Any ideas? Strip the problem, use { b } or any other simple input.

This is a double question, seeing as wind instruments rarely transpose by an octave. For example, I play the trombone, which is either written in bass clef concert, or in treble transposed by a ninth. I just don't worry about the 8s on the clef, I transpose a second and use the treble_8 clef "as is". Nobody's commented on that extra little 8 so far ... :-) Cheers, Wol Piccolo transposes an octave up. Usually though, its clef is plain treble clef. This is a "transposed score" for the piccolo. In a Concert score, however, a G^8 clef is used to indicate explicitly this octave up. So this is easy to do, using only clefs. Same for Contrabassoon. Same for Double basses. Now think Bflat Clarinet. You can not just produce a clarinet score from concert pitches using only clefs. For super-easy sheet music, there is no problem. Just put the noteheads where you want the clarinet to read them. For full orchestra and parts, on the contrary, a coherent plan is mandatory, and I don't see how transposing clarinet is different from transposing piccolo. In both cases you have different written- and sounding- notes. So let me ask again, if use of transposition is evil, how can one avoid it and stick to clefs only? I think the answer is "you can't" but I'm still curious about what people do. -- Francisco Vila, Ph.D. - Badajoz (Spain) paconet.org , lilypond.es

Just like LilyPond allows engraving a simple song with \score { { b } \addlyrics { Bee } } (you'd never engrave an opera this way, but you also don't want to be unnecessarily overkilling), LilyPond allows the simple case of engraving guitar music in G clef and, if no more complex use is to be made from this (e.g. reusing) then all is fine. You can get correct pitches on MIDI by \transposition. You can, alternatively, enter correct pitches and a false clef which moves the music an octave up and hides the 8. The fact is, guitar music is usually written in plain G clef and this is known to sound an octave lower. It's common practice. I also agree on guitar being no essentially different to e.g. clarinet on this respect.

Thanks! One common setup is the following: - Define variables for all parts. If this is a separate file, don't put any score in it. - Include the file above with the music. Prepare separate score blocks for parts and the orchestral score. Use the variables you defined. In short, separate "create and print a score" from "define variables with music" in separate files so that when you include a file you don't get unexpectedly printed scores. -- Francisco Vila.

Usually a rest, if rests precede the dynamics, but also any note preceding the dynamics, if this is in the middle of a measure full of noteheads.

XML import (WAS: A premiere by Daahoud Salim, typeset with LilyPond)
>From my work on Daahoud Salim's sextet, I can tell to those interested some things to do and some not to. Today I am focusing on the XML import alone. Long story short: avoid it. This is a very small piece when compared to dozens of huge works we all in the list have seen on the years, but it is decent-sized for me, at least big enough so that some mistakes can have a deep effect on the workflow. What is obviuos is that a version control system of any kind is absolutley needed. In my case that saved me from the disaster two or more times. Branches are very useful, too. But this is well known by git users. All ponders, do become git users! Some also use Make for building. I used it for my LaTeX thesis. _My_ problem with Make is that syntax of makefiles is very hard to read. The piano part looked cumbersome to type; I knew the composer could give me exported XMLs from Finale and I thought this was going to make me save some time. It was rather the opposite. MusicXML puts too many layout details forced. - The converted code has \stemUp and \stemDown in every single note, which had to be searched and replaced. Also all articulations are forced up or down. Beams are also fixed. - Page and line breaks are there and you don't want them. - Tuplet fractions are often almost impossible to understand. - Line breaks in the code itself are nonsense, e.g. in the middle of a <> chord or a tuplet. - Bar number checks have to be searched as well to delete them. What if you want to insert a measure? it's a nightmare. Even worse, bar number checks are not fixed strings, so you have to compose regular expressions to match them. - Dynamics are not attached to the note it is meant to, if the author moved them with the mouse. - Page size is usually US Letter. - Just look at this converted block: #(set-global-staff-size 20.6625714286) \paper { paper-width = 21.59\cm paper-height = 27.93\cm top-margin = 1.27\cm bottom-margin = 1.27\cm left-margin = 2.53\cm right-margin = 1.27\cm between-system-space = 2.19\cm page-top-space = 1.27\cm indent = 1.66076923077\cm short-indent = 1.10717948718\cm } No comments. Except that you have to pay attention to it even if you want to discard it completely, because it's between all else, otherwise useful, code.

The composer agreed. This alone implies that PDFs are also available, because in theory anyone could render the PDFs for themselves, so I thought why not to ship them as well? I wouldn't make much difference. But to be honest, the part "anyone to render by themselves" was not fully clear because LilyPond is not excessively popular among musicians from our close environment. Then I asked directly for the license of the work itself. My position is to be clear on this point: all other rights are kept by the composer, given that a 'strong' copyright is automatically applied to any creative work, and the fact a PDF is freely downloadable does not mean he can not benefit from recordings et cetera. He stated that he didn't want to block people to play the work, be it for free or for profit. The only concern is, what if someone tries to become rich and/or prevents others to do the same? Here is where the All Rights Reserved comes into place. That way he reserves the right to be asked when a use of the material could potentially be outside of the limits of fair use.

A premiere by Daahoud Salim, typeset with LilyPond
Hello all, I'd like to share what I'm been working on lately. Daahoud Salim, a young Spanish composer and pianist has been commited by the Grachten Festival Amsterdam to compose a short work for one main violin plus piano quintet (string quartet plus piano), named "Poem - History of Peoples", and it's going to be premiered tomorrow as a part of the festival programme. Players will be Rosanne Philippens (soloist, and dedicatee) and the Aristos Quartet with D. Salim itself on the piano (links below). Of course, what is relevant to LilyPond is that I offered to prepare all the playing materials as a copyist from the composer's manuscript (a PDF from Finale) as well as a score for a potential publishing. It's my first work of copying I can label as serious. Many difficulties arose and technical challenges were present, but I learned a lot from the whole process and the result is very satisfying. My work of typesetting is licensed as CC-BY-SA and all the code and rendered PDFs are freely avalilable for downloading. The work itself is also free to perform and redistribute. I will share a link to the whole thing (not before the premiere, though). So, stay tuned! I will thank any comments.

Re: Licence LilyPond Logo?
The original photo of the [single] lilypad is by Krista Scott-Dixon (stumptuous.com). Taken at the Van Dusen Botanical Garden situated in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Somebody made a double lilypad from the photo. Later, saturation and contrast were improved by another person. John Mandereau provided a music snippet for the background. Then I pasted the flower on the music. So my share of the rights on the logo needs three decimals after the comma to be properly measured. I am positive nobody is going to sue you for its use, and it is good for eye-catching on any lilypond-related material, yet my advice is that you modify or customize it in some or another way (colors, background etc) so that its official use by us is unmistakenly related to us, and otherwise related, unofficial material uses another version of the logo to avoid confussion. 2016-03-20 22:05 GMT+01:00 Barrios Blue <barrios_b...@yahoo.de>: > It's not my intention to confuse or even offend anyone by using the Logo on > my tiny tutorial site.

First of all, I'd like to update the code to a more recent version, but my question is, what version is Messiah's code at? I can say Haendel/Opera/GiulioCesare is in \version 2.11.57 for example, but did not find any version statement in Messiah. If you were going to compile all of nenuvar/ , where would you start from? I’m just updating the Messiah right now, so if you wait for a couple of days you’ll just have to type: make Haendel/Oratorio/Messiah This is great news. As for versions: if you look at http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/index.php/2012/02/29/32 and select from there the desired piece, you’ll see the lilypond version. Nicolas Thank you! -- Francisco Vila.

Re: Accents with frescobaldi (OT?)
2014-05-01 21:10 GMT+02:00 Francois Planiol alicuota...@gmail.com: Hello, I have an annoying issue with frescobaldi. To get accented wovels (or whatever accented, cedilled etc) you press first the accent then the wovel and the result is the accented wovel. But i my configuration: - typing accented letters works fine, only in a new file without any flavour of markup (-language). - typíng them outside of any context rarely works - typing them inside of any context (markup, score, relative, lyrics etc) also sometimes work. Pressing the accent sets it immediately, doesnt wait for wovel How do I get consistently the normal use of accented wovels? I once asked the same https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/frescobaldi/QswzkvR-f7c and now I can update the report a bit. - It's not your fault: all other programs behave well and your keyboard is properly configured. Only Frescobaldi shows the issue. - Click the PDF music preview once, then click the text editing area once, then try typing an accented character, it works once, then try typing another one, it'll fail. In another words, it works first time only after clicking in the edit area. - Disabling the predictive auto-complete setting makes dead keys work. You can still have auto-completing suggestions on demand, by pressing ctrl+space. My current approach is leaving auto-complete on for normal music coding and comments in English: no accents. Then, for comments and lyrics in Spanish I change to suggestions on demand and accents can be typed normally. The bug comes undoubtedly from a conflict between auto-complete feature and dead keys.

The book, in Spanish, comprises twelve newly composed Christmas carols talking about my region, Extremadura. It is intended to be used as teaching materials for music lessons. The authors have written didactic notes for each and recorded the music on a CD. The music typesetting work is rather simple, with a minimum of tweaks. Also, technical needs of this sort of notation aren't complex. We are fairly satisfied with the results. It is not on sale yet (no funds for that). What you see in the photos is a b/w homemade print.

LaTeX is also just a typesetting engine and people do not try to work with it by first clicking on a desktop icon, do they? I don't really know what's the Windows LaTeX experience like, but I can assume the user base of LaTeX is far greater than LilyPond's, and newcomers have always an experienced user in the nearby ready to help. That's the critical mass effect that Finale and Sibelius already have and we don't. Despite of having a README just in front of your eyes, IMO we should expect people will always try to open lilypond to work in a typical program window. Why don't we just give them what they want? That is: a program you open. All programs are opened and it doesn't matter how hard we try, most people want to open the program. We could make the lilypond icon to launch a shell applet to open ly projects and a button to compile. Of course, a console output window and a PDF pre-viewer are necessary. I see the drag-drop ritual in the tutorial too few standard, too weird and too much lilypond-specific. That scares newcomers. But wait: this has been done. Valentin Villenave dit it once. A bundle that installed a PDF viewer and a small button panel with all the most basic operatons. I don't remember if it included a message output. But wait again: Frescobaldi already does this. It is super-easy to install on windows and it has got all the necessary items: an editor, a pre-viewer and a message output panel. Of course it has many, many more features, but even so it is lightweight (unlike the now almost defunct jEdit/lilypondtool). Why don't we do a cut-down Frescobaldi-like shell for the absolute beginner? The File-Open... menu entry must include a sub-menu with a lot of ready_to_compile fancy or real-world examples. Yes, we already promote easier environments, but in my opinion the bare minimum we offer is too weak as to be useful for all except mid-high level nerdies. I always think all you do to lower the entry threshold is never enough and ours is currently a bit too high. It's not the language, it's the experience. And never forget Windows users are potentially way more numerous than command line users. -- Francisco Vila.

Re: A thought on Windows Experience (was: useability, promoting, etc)
2013/12/4 SoundsFromSound soundsfromso...@gmail.com: I'm confused. There is a Lilypad for Windows. It comes standard w/ the LilyPond installation. ? Yes. But it opens IIRC when you right-click on a ly document, then choose Edit. This lilypad editor does have a menu entry to compile. So, it is a sort of shell/editor. I find this path tortuous. People double-click the lilypond icon, and don't see this shell as many of them could expect. Instead, ugly things happen. Therefore, lilypond is ugly. I think this summarizes the start and the end of a newcomer's experience. -- Francisco Vila.

Re: A thought on Windows Experience (was: useability, promoting, etc)

I'm a heavy Windows user, and would not want another program installed by default. But you _already_ have another program installed by default: the lilypad editor. What I suggest is to replace this by a proper windows mini-shell with the essential buttons clearly visible. Open Document. Edit Document. Compile Document. All with Auto PDF view, a selectable external viewer in the Edit-Preferences menu. And (very important!) message output console. Not a paragraph in the docs explaining you have to find a log and read it. This is impossible to be popular. -- Francisco Vila.

Re: 2.17 documentation

I think it was probably meant to be 2.17 instead of 2.18, am I right? Unless someone released a version 2.18 and is keeping it secret from me :) 2.17 is unstable and will become eventually the next stable release. Right? The changes page is intended to tell what changes 2.18 has since 2.16 and it is not finished until 2.18 is a reality. I agree in that, given 2.18 does not exist, the page actually shows changes of 2.17, but you will also agree in that 2.17 is not recommended for general adoption, instead of hiding the page until 2.18 comes out, we show it and leave it prepared to serve as an actual 2.18 page. Or, we could name it 2.17 since 2.16 to be clearer, and change this to 2.18 on its release. That would indeed be clearer because the page is under lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/ . -- Francisco Vila.

Instead, do I have to manually remove all EPS files by hand? It doesn't sound good. I don't see the problem. If you call pdflatex, it will not be interested in EPS files. And you stated you did not want to call LaTeX anyway, instead using some ebook converter. True, but I wanted to start from a working latex file with PNG images in it, before I passed it through the converter. Neither PDF nor EPS images are allowed in the final ebook, and the converter just converts whatever I pass to it. My results so far are that the converted file has no images except what I explicitly insert. And I think I've found the problem. Two problems, actually. One is: I had \includes in my initial tests. I managed to flatten the document, but with tiny documents I did not bother to flatten them. lilypond-book files have \input commands and therefore they are flatten-needing. The second problem is that lilypond-book generates per-system EPS with names like cf/lily-481ba953-1.eps along with cf/lily-481ba953.eps (no -1 here) whilst generated PNGs are just like cf/lily-481ba953.png. The generated latex file tries to include the image with the -1 suffix and no extension, so there is no matching PNG for that. My converter can not guess it. And you can not switch freely between latex and pdftalex for this reason. That, or I am doing it bad. I use \usepackage{graphicx} and can manually insert PNG images with .png extension \includegraphics{}, and it works. Thank you, I'll perform more tests and will post my results. -- Francisco Vila.

Hello. I am trying to create an e-book in ePub format from a latex document via lilypond-book and pandoc. EPubs can not have images in PDF format, so I'd like to prepare a latex file with PNG images.

But if I omit the --pdf option, EPS images are created for inclusion instead.

Re: latex with PNG images using lilypond-book?
2013/4/30 Kevin Patrick Barry barr...@tcd.ie: Dear Francisco, I'm not sure I understand what you want; is it that you want to know how to include PNG images in a latex document? The --png option in lilypond will produce png images and they can be included in latex using the graphicx package and \includegraphics{}. Is that what you want? No; sorry if I was unclear. The lilypond-book tool makes easy to include lilypond music in latex, texinfo and HTML documents. Whay you write is the music directly into the latex document, in a \begin{lilypond} ... \end{lilypond} block. Then, lilypond-book preprocesses this and generates EPS images and another document which has the EPS files included as images. The documentation says you can generate PDF images and PNG bitmaps as well. So far, so good. The problem is, I know lilypond-book can produce PNG images for HTML, EPS images for latex, and PDF images for pdflatex, but what I'd like is to automatically generate PNGs __for latex__ for including via \includegraphics{} as you said, but (obviously) without losing the lilypond-book funcionality, which --as we know-- is to include lilypond music in your document as lilypond code, preprocess it, and generate another document with the images of music in it.
