Dear Valentin,

The "%\rouded-box" is a misplaced typo. Once I delete the \rounded-box trom
the code you sent me, it works A-ok.  Your code answers my two questions.
I might try to put a rounded-box on the two markups.

Dear Lilyponders,
I have two markups printed in two lines.
questions:
1.. How to print the two markups side-by-side on one line
2.. How to shorten the fill-line or have an arg to determine the width.
Here is the lily markup code:

Re: running lilypond

Good morning Jean:
Thank you for the quick answer.
I have not used the terminal to run lilypond. I have been using frecobaldi
v3.1 and lilypond v16.  I was hoping to use the .ly file to run terminal
lilypond.
I will not learn using terminal lilypond. If a .ly file cannot run terminal
lilypond, it is fine with me.
BTW I am running window 10

Hi Valentin,
Thank you for the info. But I have a hard time entering the file path name.
When I ran lilypond through frescobaldi v2.3.3, I got an error - see at the

Hi David Wright,

Thank you for your reply. You are right, this is not essential for my work
with lilypond / frecobaldi.  I have made a note to myself to create file
location (path) & file names in english only in relation to
lilypond/frecobaldi. I have not encountered problems with other  softwares
by using non-english characters in location (path) or file name or both.

>"I've no idea what these <http://xn--4grwd.ly> constructions

I did not enter < .. >. I think my email server is attempting to include
the file attachment or links to the file to the email.  When I try to click
on it I got :
This site can’t be reached

*勉勵.ly <http://xn--4grwd.ly>*’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing
the problem.

Thanks again.

Dear David Wright:

Thank you for your reply. I guess I will wait for #1379 in frecobaldi user
list to resolve.

I use surface pro 4 & window 10; frecobaldi v3.1.3, lilypond v2.23.3.
I have the following info about my surface pro 4:
[image: image.png]
I use handwriting pad in my keyboard to write file location and file name.
I don't know "Chinese (Traditional, Taiwan)" is UTF-8 or UTF-16.

The following is how one can re-create the problem in window 10.
e.g.
1.   create c:\yming\lily_聖詩
2.  then I create file name in frecobaldi勉勵.ly <http://xn--4grwd.ly>;
and saved to "c:\yming\lily_聖詩".
A.  In "file manager" - double click the file name - frecobaldi opens up
two blank tabs with unreadible tab names.
B. within "frecobaldi" - file>open ... then nevigate to  location
c:\yming\lily_聖詩 ; click on file 勉勵.ly <http://xn--4grwd.ly> frecobaldi
display the file with contents in "勉勵.ly <http://xn--4grwd.ly>." tab.

Note:  either file location or file name or both contain non english
characters, "A" happends.

Shalom,

Re: error :GUILE signaled an error for the expression

2021-07-13 Thread ming tsang

Carl :  Thank you for the info.  How can I  change your display/markup font
to be a font that includes CJK characters?

David Wright :
Thank you for reminding me about my problem way back in 2015. You suggested
using the eps image in the file name.  I did not know how to create an eps
image for the file name.  So I end up not using utf-8 in the file name.  It
served me fine these years.
Now I created a folder name with utf-8 characters without realizing it will
affect the folder name as with  file name.
If this is the way lilypond works, I will remember not to use utf-8
characters in the folder and the file name.

One  strange thing is that this only affects the
"\markup  \wordwrap-string #(command-line)" --the example four.

I have different ways to display folder/filename.ly
%%lily code
%updated LSR 197 --https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=197
\version "2.23.3"

#(define comml(command-line))
#(define fileninput-file-name)
#(define siz  (object->string (stat:size (stat filen
#(define ver  (lilypond-version))
#(define dat  (strftime "%m/%d/%Y" (localtime (current-time
#(define tim  (strftime "%H:%M:%S" (localtime (current-time
#(define modt (stat:mtime (stat filen)))
#(define modts(strftime "%m/%d/%Y %H:%M:%S" (localtime modt)))
\markup { ". example one ." }
\markup \column {
  \line { "File Name = "\filen }
  \line { "File Size = "\siz   }
  \line { "LilyPond Version = " \ver   }
  \line { "Date Processed = "   \dat   }
  \line { "Time Processed = "   \tim   }
  \line { "Last Modified = "\modts }
  \line  { "Command Line = " \comml }
}
%

%%
\version "2.23.3" % or newer

filename = #(define-scheme-function () ()
  (car (ly:input-file-line-char-column (*location*
\markup { ". example two ." }
\markup { "File Name =" \filename }
\header { dedication = \markup { \filename } }
%%

%%%
\version "2.23.3"

#(define commandLine (object->string (command-line)))
\markup { ". example three ." }
\markup { \wordwrap-string { \commandLine } }
%%%


\version "2.23.3"
\markup { ". example four ." }
\markup \wordwrap #(command-line)

%end of example code.

The above test is for folder names containing utf-8 characters.
Later today I will test the folder and filename containing utf-8 characters
to see the effects.

Thank you for your help.
Shalom,
yMing Tsang

Thank you David Kastrup,
As suggested I use \wordwrap-string instead of \wordwrap. It works.
one question: is there any special character for the wrap text OR just when
the line fills up it wraps to the next line?

Heart fill thank you. It was a very experience talking to the lilypond user
group and I learned a lot.

Knute:  Thank you for following up on handling of the utf-8 file name
and/or file path (location) problem in frecobaldi.

David Kastrup:  Thank you for helping me to use convert-ly.

David Wright:  Help me identify the problem with my lily score code.

Jean:  Help me identify the problem codes as well.

Thomas:  Thank you for updating the LSR#197. Very useful.

Jonas:  thank you for the undocumented \input-file-name use.

Aaron:  Thank you for the sample code for v2.18.2 and v2.20.0.  They both
work wonderfully.  I am running v2.23.3 now, but will keep v2.18.2 handy in
case I need to go back.  I saved the code in a snippet in frecobaldi v3.1.3.

Once again thank you all. I hope I didn't miss anybody that I should give
thanks for helping me.

Dear Aaron,
Thank you for the info that the LSR repository is v2.18.2.
1.  I re-install lilypond v2.18.2
2.  I copy the LSR "file information" to a file.
3.  I ran it with v2.18.2 - successfully executed.
4.  I then apply convert-ly from v2.18.2 to v2.23.3
5.  I ran again in v2.23.3 - successfully executed.
Consider the problem solved! Thanks.

Also thank you to : Knute Snortum; David Kastrup for the help.

I hit the wrong button that send the incomplete email
Now here is the continue email

bar 123 is strange no \hideNotes coded yet requires \unHideNotes
bar 124 no \unHideNotes coded
bar 125 is strange also \unHideNotes before \hideNotes
bars 127,128,129 I use \once\hideNotes - it seems ok

I will use \once\hideNotes  from now on.
I am trying to understand this hide and unHide business.
Thanks,

Dear Moinard and Knute
Thank you for the tips on \hideNotes and \unHideNotes.
I coded 35 bars using \hidesNotes, only 4 bars need the \unHideNotes. I
discovered this while coding.  I have no idea.  When I saw missing notes
(even though I had coded in) I used \unHideNotes.
Question:
1.  Do \hideNotes and \unHideNotes must be used in pairs?
2.  How can I pass the nide note in using variables? ie hn = *3/4
(\hideNotes d8)
  in my code I use  f,2\hn
Thank you very much for your help.

Dear Lily Ponders,

I am trying to transpose a score with 136 bars. It was fine until bar 95. I
then code bar 96 and suddenly the error "Exited with return code
-1073741819." occurs.

When I remove bar 96 and it compile without error. I double checked bar 96,
there is no lilypond code error.

I need help to resolve this. Thanks in advance.

Re: remove a staff

2019-10-12 Thread MING TSANG

 Hi Simon,
For the past few days I try to code something to explain my problem.
A friend of my ask me to code jianpu. I did it by jianpu10a.ly from Paul 
Morris. the out put is good until he said he just want jianpu.  
I try not to code regular staff and I noticed the lyric is out of wack.
Then I thought if I can hide the regular Staff, this will satisfy my friend. 
That was the background of my asking help from the lilypond user community.  I 
appreciated the help from Michael Gerdan, Mark Stephen Mrotek, Karlin High, 
Graham King, Ben (soundsfromsound) and you. The result pdf is fine for the time 
being (my friend said he can live with result). Thank you everyone. 
I was debating if I should sumbit request to fixed jianpu10a.ly which Paul 
Morris provided in 2015.  Anyway I try this time. Attached is rely-test.ly file 
which is not tiny.  I complied the .ly file and generate five pdfs. The 
pdf-file-name depicts the outcome result. I hope it is not too much for such a 
request. Do I need to open up another thread?
Thank you,Ming

Hi Ming,you need to give us some context, or you'll just get the answer "yes" !
For example, if you're trying to remove a staff from a system when that staff 
contains just empty bars, the answer might be \RemoveEmptyStaves.  But if 
you're trying to remove an entire part from a score, the answer will be 
different and will include advice about how to structure the lilypond code.

Why should it do anything if your \version header is already 2.19.83?
If you want it to do anything, the \version header needs to correspond
to the syntax in the file, in this case 2.18.2.  Then it will do the
changes required to get from versino 2.18.2 to the current version
including (but not restricted to) updating the \version header.

> How to set up frecobaladi v3.0.1 so that the tools - convert-ly works?

Do not change the \version header to something that does not correspond
to the version of the code in the file: that just misleads convert-ly.

For what it's worth, your example also compiles without error in 
version 2.18.2 under Windows 10 (providing I remove the \fixed, of course).

 Hi Ming, it depends on the music you are working with and your preference. I 
personally have it set to ##t as my personal default. I don't see the downside 
to having it turned on: if this happens often in your music it's cumbersome to 
keep setting and resetting it, and I also find that it helps to instantly spot 
input mistakes (if you have a tie flying all the way through your score you 
know you messed up somewhere).
Hope that helps,Stéfano

If you don’t explicitly save the file before compiling, Frescobaldi puts any 
created files are put in a “temp” folder.So, save first, then compile and you 
should get your files in the same folder as the input file.

RE: change of volta number

2018-06-22 Thread Ming Tsang

Thank you all for the reply. 

Here is snippet. 
It is Chinese character in the lyric.
In Chinese music note name uses (i)1 2 3 4 5 6 7 or (ii) do re mi fa so la ti.  
I find language “italiano” very close to (ii), therefor my snippet use language 
“italiano” for note name and use “Chinese” for lyric. This combination serve me 
well.

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(end-repeat (volta "2."))
Works fine for changing the volta 1 to 2.

Thank you all,
Ming

Hi David,Thank you very much for resuming development of jianpu in lilypond 
(gitHub lilypond-jianpu).  If jianpu10a.ly is stable enough, please merge 
jianpu6.ly and jianpu10a.ly.  After the merge, I can resume testing.Ming.

The definition of \retrograde in ly/music-functions-init.ly shows how
this can be done:

retrograde =
#(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?)
    (_i "Return @var{music} in reverse order.")
    (retrograde-music
    (expand-repeat-notes!
      (expand-repeat-chords!
      (cons 'rhythmic-event
            (ly:parser-lookup '$chord-repeat-events))
      music

Thanks Ming, this is helpful.

> There is a difference in coding c''8 8 vs c''8 c’'

Ah, it seems that in c’’8 8 the 8 does not have a pitch property when it is 
received by the jianpuMusic function:

\displayMusic shows that c’’8 becomes:

(make-music
'NoteEvent
'duration
(ly:make-duration 3)
'pitch
(ly:make-pitch 1 0))

…and then 8 becomes

(make-music
'NoteEvent
'duration
(ly:make-duration 3))

with no pitch property.  So I’ll need to handle these pitch-less note events. 

> Lyric treat -  0  as notes

Yes, this I knew about, but I don’t know what the solution might be.  The - and 
0 are notes with modified stencils, which gives us good spacing and lets 0s 
have beams.  But that breaks how the lyrics align with the notes, and I can’t 
think of an automatic way to adjust the lyric durations so that, for example, a 
syllable that originally aligned with a whole note now aligns with four quarter 
notes.  

So currently you have to do this by hand by adjusting the durations of lyrics 
or adding skips, etc.  You could use tags, skips, and removeWithTag to have one 
set of lyrics that works with either standard notation or jianpu.
