Re: Notation snippets

[Jayaratna]

It's only 24 glyphs, not too much work. 
I can export them in svg format, but I'd need two to know on what original
the petrucci noteheads have been drawn after. I've never made a font, I
guess the glyphs are to be precisely placed on their font slots. Stems will
have to be reduced.

Notation snippets

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilipondians,

I am trying to make a page which shows a series of music symbols, each of
them appearing on a standard staff of a given measure. So far I can print
clefs and other symbols, but with no staff lines.

Any idea on how to make this?

Thank you,
A

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {
  
  indent = 0\mm
  paper-width = 100\pt
  paper-height = 100\pt
  top-margin = 0\mm
  bottom-margin = 0\mm
  oddFooterMarkup   = ""
  oddHeaderMarkup   =  ""
  evenFooterMarkup   =  ""
  evenHeaderMarkup   = ""
  ragged-last = ##f
  systems-per-page = #1 
  print-page-number = #f 
}

\markup{
\fill-line{
  
  
 
  \score {
  \new Staff { \clef "violin" }
  \layout { 
%\omit Staff.Clef
\omit Staff.TimeSignature
   }
  
  }
  
  \hspace #2
 \score {
  \new Staff { \time 4/4 }
  \layout { \context MensuralStaff \override NoteHead.style = #'petrucci 
\omit Staff.Clef
%\omit Staff.TimeSignature
   }
  
  }
  
\hspace #2

}
}

I'm downloading the newest version. Hope I can keep both versions on my

In any case, is it possible to center the last notes with the staff lines?

It should be like this, but I can't extend the lines over the clefs. I also

to be of a fixed lenght.

Re: Text extender in repeat

[Jayaratna]

 No, we shouldn’t, since it is perfectly all right to left-align a
 syllable which has a melisma. 

Now the syllables 'the' are aligned left, but they should be moved further
left because the melisma sign that follows is barely visible.

 but I’d correct this with { \tweak self-alignment-X -0.5
 flow’r } or similar.

This code does not give the desired shift. Not even changing -0.5 to -550.

 Note the correct apostrophe ’ I used instead of
 ').

When using my .otf font the apostrohe appears correct.

Re: Text extender in repeat

[Jayaratna]

 It will be, if the following syllable will be successfully shifted (see
 below). But IMO it’s no problem to leave the __ out in cases like this
 (short melisma, long syllable). 

Now I see your point: moving right the following syllable.

 \once\override
 LyricText.self-alignment-X = #-0.7 

Works: thank you!

 Then that’s a peculiarity of your font. 

Shouldn't it be the normal behaviour of an otf font?

Best regards,
Andy

Dear Peter and Pierre,

thank you so much, it works. The \null solution is better IMHO.

Now before keeping this snippet online we should move left both syllables
'the', to show the melisma on the second crotchet, which was going to be my
second question.

TIA,
Andy

I found a solution to a similar problem given years ago on the mailing list,

\version 2.18.2

  \new Staff \relative c'' { \time 2/1
  \repeat volta 2 {
  r4 g4 d'2. a4 bes2~
  bes  a2 g1~

 \alternative{
   { g2 fis4 e fis1
  d'1 c2 bes}
  {g\repeatTie fis4 e fis1 }
  }
\bar |.
  }

\addlyrics { \lyricmode {

 __ _ _ 
   the __  _ flow'r. 
 Who took a- __  
 _ the __ _ flow'r. 
} }

Re: Line-width and Lilypond-book

[Jayaratna]

Hi Kevin,

thanks for your advise. I have found that in fact I have to adjust the
line-width file by file. Most of the times when a file has multiple lines
lilypond-book works fine, the problem arises when I have single lines which
lilypond doesn't split in two lines but which are too full to be placed
within the line-width.

Maybe it would be nice to have a function by which to fix the total-width of
a line, including brackets and instrument names.

Thank you,
Andrea

Line-width and Lilypond-book

Dear Lilypondians,

I am stuck with a linewidth problem in Lilypond-book. Here is a minimal
example of my latex file:

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\begin{document}

Dummy text, dummy text...

\noindent \lilypondfile{exemple01.ly}

\end{document}

And my esemple01.ly:
\version 2.18.2
\score { \new Staff \relative c'' {
  \clef violin \key f \major
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d

  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d
  a4 bes c d a bes c d

}

}


I use 
lilypond-book --latex-program=pdflatex --leftpadding=0 latexfile.lytex
and then 
pdflatex latexfile.tex

I get this:

I'd simply like it to be as large as the textwidth. I have had a good result

Music line in a Latex table

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilypondians,

I need to place a music line in a Latex table so that any measure in the
music has the same width of the correspondent cell in the table. 

I tried placing single lilypond files in the table, but because they contain
different objects (minims, different clefs, whole notes etc.) their
dimensions are different, and scaling them makes the music line look odd and
not in line.

I could place a single lilypond file in a multicolumn row, but I really
don't know how to get the measures the same width as the table cells.

Maybe I should just export the table and the music as svg files and adapt
the music with inkscape?

Any other suggestions on how to handle this problem?

Thank you,
Andrea

Re: Music line in a Latex table

Dear Brian,

thanks for your suggestion. Actually for mixing music and text I would
prefer equally spaced notes whatever their value, which is the opposite of
proportional spacing. I usually do a trick by setting all note figures to an
octave.

Re: Music line in a Latex table

[Jayaratna]

Hi Pierre,

yes, this is helpful. I will still have to adjust the page dimensions. 

But the real problem is that in any case these examples will not be
vertically centered (lilypond makes adjustments according to flags, clefs
and anything falling above or below the stafflines), so I will have to work
on the svg file in any case.

Question: is there a way to set any lenght relative to an ex value taken
from the latex file?

Thank you,
Andrea

Re: Unresolvable rest collision?

The (maybe ot) point was that the rest position can have a meaning. Incipits
are quite a common feature in modern notation.

Re: Unresolvable rest collision?

[Jayaratna]

Just a few days ago I had to correct the following incipit:

http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n169753/dentestui01.png 

In the original the longae rests at the beginning of the piece indicate that
the Modus Longarum is imperfect, thus:

I don't know if it is mentioned by Gould or others but the placement of
rests sometimes is not just a matter of design balance, but can be
meaningful per se.

Setting note durations

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilypondians,

I can't find anything about this in the Notation Manual, except this line:

breveTP = #(ly:make-duration -1 0 3/2)

Which makes the duration of a breve 3/2 its usual value. Where do I find a
table with all the other note durations names (is it something like
crotchetTP, quaverTP, minimTP?). 

And do I set these variables in a context?

Thank you,
Andrea

Re: bottom of EPS output cut off

Re: Setting note durations

Thank you, Graham and Guoguocuozuoduo,

I didn't get it was a setup variable (maybe working late at night doesn't
help) and finally I found make-duration in the manual (maybe google doesn't
work well at night either).
So it's just a variable, but wonderfully it works like a new duration:

\version 2.18.2

breveTP = #(ly:make-duration -1 0 3/2) %brevis Tempus Perfetum
minimaPP = #(ly:make-duration 1 0 2/3) %minima Prolatio Perfecta

notesa = { \time 3/1  a\breveTP  g1 g g a\minimaPP a a a a a a a a }
notesb = { \time 3/1 a1 a a a\minimaPP a a a a a a a a g1 g g }
\score{ 

\new Staff   \notesa 
 \new Staff \notesb 

 }

Cool,
thank you!

Double incipit (was midline system bracket)

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilypondians,


I am trying to adapt this code by Pierre to my needs:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2012-05/msg00379.html

So far I have made this:

http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n168820/doubleincipit.png 

Three things I need to adjust:

1) the brace needs to be a bracket and to be properly repositioned;
2) the second 'incipit' is too large compared to the first (which is made by
a markup code inside the instrument name), I can make the first look like
the second but I need the second to look like the first instead;
3) the '8' under the octave treble clefs in the second half of the example
are shifted (and this could be a small bug: if you hide the clefs the 8s
remain).

I am attacing my doubleincipit.ly
doubleincipit.ly
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n168820/doubleincipit.ly  

Any help welcome,
thank you,
Andrea

   \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = 2/2
  
  
  
}
\score {
\new StaffGroup 
  
  
  \new Staff \relative c' { \global \time 2/2 \clef violin e1 \bar ||
   
   
\stopStaff \time 1/64 s64 \bar  \noBreak %%%white space after the example
\startStaff \clef petrucci-c1 s64 \bar \noBreak %%%new incipit

  (define ((braceBarLine markup) grob)

  (define braceMarkup
(make-line-markup

  (make-translate-markup ;(cons 0 ext)
(cons 0 (+ 0.2 (/ braceExt -10)))
(make-left-brace-markup (+ braceExt 20)))
  #{
  \once\override Score.BarLine #'hair-thickness = #'1.6
  \once \override Staff.BarLine #'stencil = #(braceBarLine braceMarkup)
  \bar |
  \move
  \once\override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT

How to prevent natural signs from being printed when the key signature changes

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilyfriends,
I am following the steps from the notation manual at this location:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#key-signature
My code is:

\score { 
\relative c'  {
\key f \major c d e f 
\set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f
\clef soprano \key c \major g a g f 
  }
}

But I still get the natural sign printed.

Ok, that one was a dummy example I made to see if the 'error' happened in a

Re: Where to Download the New Music Fonts?

[Jayaratna]

Let alone the music spacing, I think the diamond note heads are fare too
small, in general. 
This is taken on a 12pt score magnified at 180%, default lilypond engraving:


http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n168304/2014-11-02-180946_1024x600_scrot.png
 

Look at the quavers flags, and compare the diamond noteheads and the
breves.The latter colour is much heavier. 
See the tempo mark on the bottom staff too. 
The dots are too big. 

I don't know if it's an unbalanced font or if some work has to be done on
the mensural staffvoice contexts. 

For mensural music parts (which are the most common case) there should be a
way to turn off the lilypond proportional music spacing too (which again is
not related to the font itself, I think).

Re: Can I \markup \concat more than one file in a row?

[Jayaratna]

Pierre,

thank you for your solution. I understand how it works, and it is brilliant
and simple.

As far as I understand it is not possible to include a working (one which
gives a pdf output when run) lilypond file in a \markup environment. This
means I will have to edit all my scores and subsequently I will have to make
an output file for each of them and a separate output file for my score row.
Plus I will have to further extrapolate my incipits from the first file.

It's quite a lot of work, I hoped it would have been possible to just
include my files without having to edit them so heavily.

By the way look at the new documentation for making incipits, with the 2.18
version of lilypond sometimes incipits created as a filename are badly
centered, due to some change in the boxing engine I guess. 

Thank you,
Andrea

Double barline with white filling

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilyexperts,

can I customize a double barline \bar|| so that the space between the two
lines is white and not transparent? This would make two consecutive bars to
appear as separate file.

Thank you,
Andrea

Re: Double barline with white filling

[Jayaratna]

Hi Pierre,

Yes, I guess this is the easiest way to have Lilypond setting the line
breaks.
I just tweaked a little your code, 

gap = \mark\markup { 
  \with-color #white
  \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(0 . 0)
 \filled-box #'(-.25 . .25) #'(-5.5 . 0) #0
}

and removed %\override BarLine.kern = #9.7 

to get it working like a default double barline.

Now I can add as many bars as I want and have lilypond calculating the line
breaks and making several same-width lines.

Thank you so much!!!
Andrea

I guess your suggestion should better the note spacing. I have to experiment
on it though.

Re: Double clef (canon)

[Jayaratna]

Hi Harm,

I don't really have a personal setup for mensural music. Recently I begun a
project that involves a lot of mensural notation, therefore I am still
learning and noticing . Usually I adjust flaws when they occur, just within
the notation rather than on the layout level, but I guess this is a flaw
inherent on my way of working with Lilypond, as I have never learnt it in a
theoretical and comprehensive way, adjusting my learning to specific needs
as per occurrence.

So far I think mensural and neomensural notation fonts to be a little
unbalanced. The diamond shaped noteheads are too small, in my opinion, while
the square shaped noteheads are generally good. I usually increase noteheads
size, but not as much as I would, as the risk is getting breves and longae
noteheads too big. I think there should be a way to selectively increase
noteheads sizes, but I still have to sort out the problem. Actually, before
consolidating my opinion I should try see more of it in print: so far I am
just in the phase of making drafts. I also usually increase stems thickness,
but, again, I should evaluate this on paper rather than on screen. Longae
stems are too short, generally speaking (why are they built in the glyph???
Not that I dislike it, actually it solved so many issues I had!). The real
pain comes with ligatures: I have to revert the noteheads size to default
whenever I want to type ligatures, with the unnerving result that ligatures
look smallish, especially compared to squared noteshapes. On the other side,
if I don't revert noteheads to their normal sizes, spacing within ligatures
is completely scattered. Obtaining black or half coloured ligatures is also
quite painful, but I still have to study the problem a little bit closer, as
I guess changing the font to black mensural should partly overcome the
issue. 

Again, as for the font balance, I have sometimes to mix mensural and
neomensural or petrucci shapes, especially for clefs and time signature
symbols. Probably this is due to the fact that it is impossible to have a
consistent classification of these glyphs, because I think printers of
various times and locations used a variety of mixed shapes. But, again, a
bass mensural clef is really too small, compared, say, to a petrucci C clef.
Overall, I feel the mensural part of our feta font works better in giving
the idea of a handwritten score rather than of a printed one. You also
noticed dots are generally too big, and some of the alteration symbols are
too small. 

Finally, the available repertoire of time signature symbols is not complete.
I had to type a piece with many proportional changes and I finally decided
to include in my scores a separate file with 20 custom time signature
commands, some of them being already implemented, others being made by
adding fractions to existing glyphs. Thankfully I haven't yet found a score
with a double crossed time signature symbol (like a O with an X above it),
but I feel this kind of symbol could be easily added to the font. In typing
proportional music I prefer to use a standard 2/1 time, my custom time
signature symbols and \scaleDurations accordingly. So far it has been the
easiest way: still I remind myself that I have never planned one of these
projects globally from scratch, but I am guilty of always working on problem
by problem occurrence solutions.

These are some of the features I am introducing so far in my mensural
typewriting, warning that they still have to be fine tuned when proofed on
paper (and printed at different sizes too):

\override Stem.neutral-direction = #up
\override NoteHead #'font-size = #2 
\override Dots #'font-size = #-2  
\override Stem.thickness = #2.0

I'd also like to hear from yours and others opinion on the topic.

Andrea

Re: Double clef (canon)

[Jayaratna]

Dear Harm,

yes, there is a breve rest after the first clef in the first line. It means
the part with that clef have to wait one breve, while the part following the
second clef starts first.
Actually that rest is the reason why I did not choose to just make a new
clef with a \markup \concat glyph.

Thank you,
Andrea

Re: Double clef (canon)

[Jayaratna]

Hello Harm,

I am going to hack your code further to adapt it to my usual mensural
layout. But it works. I need time to understand everything you've made but
definitely thank you. As far as I got it, you defined a commando for adding
a clef next to the original, and another one to add the cleff after the
breve rest.

Reading your comments I have to say that still the layout of mensural music
is quite poor. I usually increase the notehead sizes, but breves and longae
become too big. I also increase the stem thickness. I don't feel spacing to
be too bad, though, but I neved had to type scores, luckily, just parts.

By the way this canon is by Thomas Morley, which feels funny regarding your
nickname.

Thank you so much,
Andrea

Custom time signature symbols

[Jayaratna]

Dear Lilypond experts,

I need to type a series of examples of mensural music, in which three parts
(Cantus, Altus  Bassus) contain 3 semibreves per bar, one part (Tenor)
contains three breves per bar. I am notating it using 3/1 and 6/1 fractions,
but I would like to use timesig.neomensural98 (stroked O) and
timesig.neomensural32 plus number 2 (O2) instead. 

How would you do it?

So far I have this working example, and thank you for your help.

\new StaffGroup {
\new Staff {\relative c'' { %Cantus

For mensural proportions I prefer to have a normal text font number.

Lyrics slips under quotations from other instruments

[Jayaratna]

Dear all,

I am asked to insert a few bars of the first violin part on a soprano staff
to help the singer when there are many measures of silence before his/her
entrance.

I do this by adding in my vocal part:

   
   {\tiny   \quoteDuring #violinoa { s2.*3 }  }
 \\
   {\normalsize R2.*3^Violino 1}



The problem is that lyrics slip under the violin part which is quoted on the
voices staffs. I don't want to introduce _ s in my texts, because this
would affect the score, where I obviously don't want quotations. 

I think that the best solution for this would be to have a command to be put
in the violin music that prevents Lyrics to be printed under it. Is there
such a command?

Thank you very much for your help,

Andrea

\partial with full measure rests

[Jayaratna]

Dear all,

I have been checking old posts for this same problems, but my case is
slightly different, and I would like to ask your opinion/advice on this.

I have a score ending with a partial measure, and some parts do not play on
that measure.

For instance part a ends like this:

\time 2/2 
 g2 fis4. g8 \bar ||
\time 3/4 \partial 2
 g2^Tous \bar ||

part b ends like this:

\time 2/2
R1 \bar ||
\time 3/4 \partial 2
R2 \bar ||

Lilypond gives a warning, and when I process part b the rest in the last
measure is not shown. If I use a normal r2 rest, the result is that I cannot
hide part b in the full score, even if I want it to be hidden (because of
its rests).

I hope this is not too confusing, I hope to get this last measure working.

Thank you,
Andrea
Venice, Italy

Re: New piece header in the same score

 Dear Xavier,

 thank you. I tried to put the code you suggested in the first staff,
 and it works, but the font is bigger than in the initial one.
 Maybe I can use this throughout my score and suppress the
 piece = blabla in the header.
 
 You're welcome.
 
 Or change #'font-size to #0.
 
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
 
 But as I said if it is for Tempo indication I think the more
 appropriate way should be using the dedicated \tempo command.  ;-)
 
   \tempo Allegro

Re: New piece header in the same score

[Jayaratna]

Thank you Heather,

this is useful too. It splits the piece in two separate scores, but I am
sure it will come useful sometimes.

 Here's what I use.  Should help with the font sizes too, because the
 header default font size is larger than the default font size for
 markup.  Don't be afraid of markup code, it doesn't have to be
 complicated :) and the section on markup in the documentation is
 helpful if you want to fine-tune the way it looks.
 
 
 \header {
   title = Pas de deux
   composer = Heather W. Reichgott
 }
 
 \markup {
   \fill-line { \line { 1. Adagio }}
 }
 
 \score {
 
 music for the first section goes here

 }
 
 \markup {
   \fill-line { \line { 2. Variation }}
 }
 
 \score {
 
 music for the second section goes here

 }
 
 etc.

 Ciao Federico,

 here is a small example: I need to create a new piece title after the
 double bar.  I think James is right, I will have to use markups: I am
 not really confident with these, that's why I try to avoid using them.

 Hi.

 Something like

  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #1
  \mark \markup { Symphonie - Lentement }

 should do something near expected AFAIK.

 You could also use a MetronomeMark instead of a RehearsalMark.

 Cheers,
 Xavier

Re: In parts but not in the score

[Jayaratna]

Dear Neil and Reinhold,

this is far too advanced for me. Even trying to copy and paste your codes
gives me errors (I think it's the \with thing).

Anyway in my case \mark will suffice: I will study your examples in depths
later,

Thank you again,
Andrea

 The only way to get it to work was to explicitly assign it to a staff...
 
 Switch off outside-staff positioning and the after-line-breaking
 callback; both of these prevent the negative 'Y-offset from dragging
 the mark into the system.
 
 defs = \with {
   \consists Mark_engraver
   \consists Staff_collecting_engraver
   \override RehearsalMark #'outside-staff-priority = ##f

In parts but not in the score

[Jayaratna]

Dear members,

I apologize if this matter should have been discussed earlier. I tried to
find posts about this but maybe my English language skills are not enough to
make the right search.

I am copying a score because I need to make parts: I need to put some texts
and other marks on single parts but I would like them not to appear on every
line of the score, but just at the top of each group. Any suggestion about
how this can be done without making two different files for each instrument?

Thank you for your kind help,
Andrea

New piece header in the same score

[Jayaratna]

Dear members,

I apologize if this matter should have been discussed earlier. I tried to
find posts about this too but maybe my English language skills are not
enough to make the right search. 

My score has a double bar (\bar ||) before a cadenza, but the piece does
not end and goes on with a different tempo. 
I don't want to put a new score (this would begin the second part of the
piece it on a new page), but I can't figure out how to make a new header in
the middle of a score.

Moreover, the new piece header should not show on each part in the score,
but it should be there one every part output.

Thank you for your kind help,

Andrea
Venice, Italy

Re: In parts but not in the score

Dear Graham,

thank you for your prompt answer.

I just have a further question: can a \mark be printed at the top of each
score group (this is what I need), or it is only printed at the top line of
the score?

Thank you again,

 This is done with \mark .  See the Text chapter for details.

Re: In parts but not in the score

Dear James,

thank you for your reply. Selected snippets for \mark show how to print text
on every staff of the score, but is there a method for printing them only
for top staffs of every group?

Thank you,

 Yes. This is discussed in the selected snippets section after \mark is
