Music fragment of specified width

2008-08-01 Thread Marco Caliari
Dear all,

I'm producing a lot of music fragments to be inserted as png pictures. I
followed AU 4.6.3. I specified line-width=130\mm and so the maximum width of the
fragments is 130mm, except in the case I set the Staff.instrumentName. In this
case, the maximum width is 130\mm plus the width of the instrument name.
Is there a way to specify the *total* maximum width of a fragment?

Thanks,

Marco

Re: Tie control-points delete another tie

2008-07-26 Thread Marco Caliari

Hi,

My mail probably belongs better to the user list so I post it there...

Trevor Daniels wrote:

It's not clear what you are trying to achieve here,
as the ties without the override look ok.


I don't know about Marco's intentions but I once had a similar case. I
got around by using both slurs and ties.


I did exactly the same. First, please consider that in this snippet 
(without the third voice)


\version 2.11.52
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
\new Staff {

% first voice
  {d''2 ~ d''
   d''2 ~ d''}
% second voice in parallel
  {f'2 ~ f'
   \once\override Tie  #'control-points =
   #'((1.5 . -0.5) (2 . 1) (7 . 2) (8 . -1))
   f'2  ~ f'}



}

only the tie in the lower voice is modified, as wanted. What I want to 
engrave is the following:


\version 2.11.52
\new Staff {
  \key f \major \time 6/8
  
{\relative c'' {
  d4. ~ d4 e8
  d4.( d4) e8}}
{\relative c' {
  fis4. fis4 a8
  \once\override Tie  #'control-points =
  #'((1.75 . -0.5) (2.5 . 0.75) (8 . 2) (13.5 . -1.2))
  fis4. ~ fis4 a8}}\\
{\relative c'' {
  a8 a16 a a8 a a a
  a8 a16 a a8 a a a
}}
  
}

In the first bar (the original one) there is a tie-collision, which I can 
solve only changing the tie in the upper voice into a slur (second bar).


Best regards,

Marco

Cannot move an accent articulation

2008-07-17 Thread Marco Caliari
Hi all.

I have some problems with the snippet below.
First of all, there is a collision in the first bar between the tie and the
articulation (but I can easily solve it).
In the second bar, the tie starts at the end of the previous notehead and
finishes at the beginning of the following notehead, whereas elsewhere it
starts and finishes about in the middle of the noteheads.
In the fourth bar, the augmentation dot for the d is a little bit lower than it
should be (in my opinion).
Finally (and here I need your help), I would like to move the accent
articulation in the second last bar close to the c notehead (as in the fourth
last bar), but \override Script #'Y-offset does not seem to work.

Best regards,

Marco

\version 2.11.52
{\time 6/8 \relative c'' {
% tie and articulation collision
f4.- ~ f4.
% strange position for the tie
e4.- ~ e4.
d4.- ~ d4.
{c'4. ~ c4.}\\
{
% strange position for the augmentation dot
d,4. ~ d4.}
g,,4.
\override Script #'Y-offset = #-4.5
c4.- ~
c2.
g4.(
% cannot move the accent articulation
\override Script #'Y-offset = #-4.5
c4.- ~
c2.)

Re: Lines of music

2003-09-15 Thread Marco Caliari
OK.

You can use Integrating HTML and music with lilypond-book: you get both
eps and png images. The length of the png image is slightly
different from that you specify with the option linewidth.

Anyway, it is not clear if the option eps is supported in Integrating
LaTeX and music with lilypond-book.

Finally, there is an inconsistency (in my opinion) reguarding the
measuring units: in the \paper block (with ly2dvi) you have to specify
them with \ (\mm, \cm, \pt, ...), whereas in HTML and LaTex (with
lilypond-book) you have to specify them without \ (mm, cm, pt, ...). I
have not found a mention of this in lilypond.ps (at least in section Page
layout).

Cheers,

Marco

Lines of music

2003-09-03 Thread Marco Caliari
Hi.

I would like to produce an image with a single line of music (say of 
dimension 2cm x 10cm, not an a4 paper with a single line). With Lily 1.6.* 
I used 

\begin[eps,linewidth=10cm]{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}

and lilypond-book. Is the option eps supported in Lily 1.8.1? 
It is not documented, it is accepted by lilypond-book (and I have the 
image as wanted), but then latex gives me Undefined symbol 
\lilypondepswidth. 
Is it possible to obtain the image (png, if possible) directly with 
ly2dvi?

Repeats and ties (better)

2003-03-18 Thread Marco Caliari
Hi.

In my previous mail I was not clear enough. If you have

\repeat volta 2 {d1 c~} \alternative {{c d c}{c}}

there should be a slur sign before the c in the second alternative, not
starting from the c~, but starting from nothing, after the repeat bar
between the alternatives. I think it should be automatic, but is there
a way to put a slur sign as wanted?

Thanks. I will try it as soon as possible. However, it is a little
complicated. All the scores I have seen (marching bands scores, above all)
have that short tie. The same for slurs starting before the first
alternative and ending on the second. I think it should be
automatic. Will it be?

Don't break lines

2003-01-30 Thread Marco Caliari
Hi.

I'm writing a music exercises booklet with latex and lilypond-book. Each 
page has the following aspect:

\section{...}
\subsection{...}
\begin[20pt,noquote]{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}
\subsection{...}
\begin[20pt,noquote]{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}
[other 2 or 3 subsections]
\pagebreak

It may occour that the lines of the last lilypond block break across 2 
pages. So I have to insert, e.g., \paper{interscoreline=-5.0\mm}, trying 
different values, into some lilypond block in order to keep all the 
exercises of a section in exactly one page.

Would it possible to force lilypond, or latex, to keep each section in one 
page, automatically detecting the right interscoreline into the lilypond 
blocks?

No more lines broken, but, for example, the entire last subsection is sent 
to the next page. It is also unuseful to insert \nopagebreak[4]:

...
\end{lilypond}
\nopagebreak[4]
\subsection{...}

 One way to do this is to set interscoreline=0 (or whatever)
 and additionally to set interscorelinefill=1, which means that
 you get a stretchable spacing between the score lines which
 should place them evenly on the page. You may get some surprising
 side-effects though.

Alignment with lilypond-book 1.6.5

2002-10-03 Thread Marco Caliari

Hi.

What is happened with alignment in lilypond-book 1.6.5?

With 1.6.4, the code

\begin{lilypond}
...
\end{lilypond}

in a .tex file gave a score with staves right aligned (like ly2dvi 1.6.4 
or 1.6.5). Now, the same code, gives me a score with staves center 
aligned. 
Moreover, for each score I have, for example,

(lily-265840193.tex (/usr/local/texmf/tex/lilypond/lilyponddefs.tex)
Overfull \hbox (17.62363pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 441--512
[][]
)

What is happening?

How to produce a5 paper music

2002-09-07 Thread Marco Caliari

Hi.

I think the simplest way to produce a5 paper music with Lilypond is:

include \paper{papersize=a4 orientation=landscape} at the beginning of 
your own file (say enea.ly);

include \paper{linewidth=280.0\mm} at the end of the score

ly2dvi

(view with xdvi -paper a4r enea.dvi)

dvips -ta4 -tlandscape enea.dvi

(my gv cannot view enea.ps but...)

pstops -pa4 2:0L@.71(21cm,14.85cm)+1L@.71(21cm,0) enea.ps enea.a5.ps  

my gv CAN view and print fine enea.a5.ps
