Sorry, forgot to post one.
During shortening some code into a mini example, I was actually able to
solve my problem. I'm posting it anyway because I'm not sure it's the
most elegant or clever was of doing.
Short repetition of what I want to achieve:
* a StaffGroup consisting of two Staffs
* a ChordLine in between
* Fixed distances between the staffs
* the ChordLine centered in between.
I can't shake the feeling that my approach may be a bit too brute-force,
but at least it works for me :) If someone has a better approach, I'd be
interested in trying it.

Dear all,
I know this thread is ancient, but I am only now in the process of

alignGrob quite heavily. Unfortunately, it does not work in 2.18 any
more, and I do not know enough about the Lilypond internals (and about
scheme) to fix it myself. Here is what happens if I try to compile the

Staff/chords spacing.
Dear all, I ran into another problem when updating my scores from 2.12 to 2.18 due to the changes in the vertical alignment calculation. What I have: * a StaffGroup consisting of two Staffs * a ChordLine in between I want the two Staffs spaced evenly at the same distance (done, see below), and I'd like to have the ChordLine vertically centered between the two Staffs. Which I have not been able to do until now... What I came up with: I'm breaking lines manually and set the distance between the staffs manually. I tried to set staff-affinity to CENTER to get the desired effect, but it does not seem to work. I'm using the following code at the moment: \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = #CENTER \overrideProperty Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-system-details #'((alignment-distances . (13.2 13.2))) \break Any idea what I am doing wrong or how I could fix it? Or should I use a different approach? I'd be grateful for pointers in the right direction... Thanks, Matthias ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: remove system_start_delimiter
1. How do I remove the system_start_delimiter (large opening brace) at the
start
of the score? I've tried a number of things to remove the brace but none
were successful.
You can remove the opening brace by setting the following for the
PianoStaff context (add to your \layout block):
\context {
\PianoStaff
systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBar
} % context
2. How do I globally set markup text to be in times font? I.e., I want to do
something like this:
\override TextSpanner #'font-name = #times
but for markup text *THROUGHOUT* the entire score.
Add the following to your \paper block:
myStaffSize = #20
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree Times Times Luxi Mono
(/ myStaffSize 20)))
The three font names stand for serif, sans serif, and mono font (I'm not
completely sure about the order though...), just add the desired fonts
there.
Only drawback: This changes *all* text in your score to the new font.
Cheers,
Matthias

Re: Overriding bar-line behaviour
What I'd like to achieve:
When ending a bar with the repetition sign :|,
I need double lines (||) at the beginning of the next bar.
It looks as though you actually mean ending/beginning lines, not bars.
Basically, yes.
[...]
(:|| . (:| . ||))
[...]
Unfortunately, this does not work:
LilyPond leaves the end of the line [...] empty,
as well as the beginning of the next line.
Lilypond's barline.cc doesn't recognise your bartype string :||
and quietly sets the bartype to empty before continuing.
So unless you extend the C++ hardcoding you are limited
to the bartypes listed in the bar-line-interface documentation.
Well, I do not think the problem actually lies in the C++ code but in the way
I tried to override bar-glyph-alist - when I change the code in
scm/output-lib.scm, it does work... even with \bar :||.
If you will be using explicit line breaks like in your snippet I would
suggest a \once-like approach as in the attached barRightrepeatDouble.ly.
This solution works perfectly, thanks a lot! What I actually use is this code:
barCustom =
#(define-music-function (parser location one two) (string? string?)
#{
\once \override Score.BarLine #'break-visibility = #all-visible
\once \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = #(lambda(grob)
(if (not (= (ly:item-break-dir grob) RIGHT)) $one $two))
#})
and then e.g. \barCustom :| ||
There is only one detail that need additional attention: It is not possbile to
change the bar lines at the beginning of the first line with this method. I
found the following workaround:
% start first line with repeat
\bar |:
% start first line with thick double lines
\bar .|
% start first line with thin double lines
\once \override Score.BarLine #'glyph-name = || \bar |:
Thanks again for finding a solution!

Variables syntax problem
Dear all,
I got another problem I am not able to solve. I change the title of the header
so that the tempo is included, see attached file. This works nicely, but I
have not been able to substitute the duration in the \note declaration by
some variable, i.e. I'd like to be able to do something like
\myTempoNote = 4.
\note #\myTempoNote #UP
What is the correct syntax to pass \myTempoNote to \note?
Thanks
Matthias
\version 2.12.2
myTitle = Song Title
myTempo = 120
myTempoNote = 4
\header

Re: Use custom font's flat (b) and sharp (#) symbols for chords
Hi again, thx so far. Sorry for my English, I think I did not make myself clear enough, so I'll try to elaborate a little more. What I have: - I am setting notes and chords. - I changed the font for the chords to a custom one (real book style). - Notes (and related accidentals like flat and sharp) are set as usual. - Chord names (and options like 7, sus4 etc.) are set in the custom font. - Chord accidentals (like the b in A flat (Ab) or the # in F sharp (F#) are set with the symbols from Lilypond's font (i.e. accidentals.sharp and accidentals.flat from the Feta font). - Accidentals in chord options (like the b in 7/b9) are set using Feta. What I'd like to have: - The output of notes and related accidentals should remain as is. - Chord accidentals (i.e. for chord names like Ab as well as for chord. options like 7/#9) should be set using the b and # from the custom font. Possible options and problems: 1. I could make Lilypond use the custom font's symbols for flat and sharp by default like suggested (i.e. fiddling with the font directory). Disadvantage: Accidentals for regular notes would also be set with b and # from the custom font. 2. I could make Lilypond set chord options (7/b5 etc.) using the custom b and # by adding exceptions for all needed chords to sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions. Problem: All accidentals in chords (e.g. in Ab or F#) would still use the symbols from Feta. While option 1. is not viable (I do not want to lose Lilypond's accidentals for regular notes), option 2. partly solves the problem (for chord options), but then I would have two different types of accidentals when setting chords. So, what I would ideally like to have is a way of making Lilypond use b and # from a custom font, but exclusively in chord mode. I did quite some searching but did not come up with anything useful, so I already feared it might not be easy (or doable at all...). Any ideas?

Use custom font's flat (b) and sharp (#) symbols for chords
Hi everyone, I'm new to Lilypond and impressed with the ease of writing music and the quality of the output. For writing lead sheets, I changed Lilypond's standard font for printing chord names to a custom font. While this works perfectly, the style difference between the chord symbols and Lilypond's flat and sharp symbols is very obvious. Is there a way to make Lilypond use the custom font's b and # symbols instead of the internal ones?

Re: Use custom font's flat (b) and sharp (#) symbols for chords

I did quite some searching but did not come up with anything useful, so I already feared it might not be easy (or doable at all...). I think you can achieve what you want by writing a scheme function similar to those defined in scm/chord-names.scm. See for example the definition of note-name-german-markup. There you find that accidentals are replaced by -es -eses -is or -isis, respectively. So you could copy most of this definition and place your custom glyphs in there. That's actually quite a good idea. Based on your idea, the following should do the trick: #(define my-alteration-glyph-name-alist '( ;; ordered for optimal performance. (0 . ) (-1/2 . #) (1/2 . b) )) #(define (my-alteration-text-accidental-markup alteration) (make-smaller-markup (make-raise-markup (if (= alteration FLAT) 0.3 0.6) (make-text-markup (assoc-get alteration my-alteration-glyph-name-alist ) My only problem is: How do I get this code to work, i.e. how do I get LilyPond to use this code in chord-mode? I assume I would need to somehow activate it in the ChordNames context, bit how does this actually work?

Overriding bar-line behaviour
Hi again,
while trying to change LilyPond's behaviour concerning bar lines, I stumbled
upon some strange behaviour. What I'd like to achieve: When ending a bar with
e repetition sign :|, I need double lines (||) at the beginning of the
next bar.
I found bar-glyph-alist in scm/output-lib.scm and decided to change it to the
following lines (shortened for this example):
#(define bar-glyph-alist
'(
;; regular bar
(| . (| . ()))
;; repetitions
(|: . (| . |:))
(:| . (:| . ()))
(:|: . (:| . |:))
;; double lines
(|| . (|| . ()))
;; double lines combined with repetitions
(||: . (|| . |:))
(:|| . (:| . ||))
))
When setting music now, everything works as expected.
As I consider changing LilyPond's default files as hacking, I decided to move
the list into my .ly file (see attached file) and revert scm/output-lib.scm
to its original state. Unfortunately, this does not work: LilyPond leaves the
end of the line (where a repetition sign :| should be found) empty, as well
as the beginning of the next line.
Does anyone have any clues what's going wrong?
Thanks,
Matthias

Re: Overriding bar-line behaviour
Ok, I give up for tonight - obviously, before writing my last mail I tested while having the new barline definitions in scm/output-lib.scm (instead of reverting that file). Which means I cannot get things to work without modifying scm/output-lib.scm. Any ideas how to put this into a .ly file are most welcome... Matthias Am Mittwoch, 16.

What I'd like to achieve: When ending a bar with e repetition sign :|, I need double lines (||) at the beginning of the next bar. I found bar-glyph-alist in scm/output-lib.scm and decided to change it to the following lines (shortened for this example): #(define bar-glyph-alist '( ;; regular bar (| . (| . ())) ;; repetitions (|: . (| . |:)) (:| . (:| . ())) (:|: . (:| . |:)) ;; double lines (|| . (|| . ())) ;; double lines combined with repetitions (||: . (|| . |:)) (:|| . (:| . ||)) )) When setting music now, everything works as expected. As I consider changing LilyPond's default files as hacking, I decided to move the list into my .ly file (see attached file) and revert scm/output-lib.scm to its original state. Unfortunately, this does not work: LilyPond leaves the end of the line (where a repetition sign :| should be found) empty, as well as the beginning of the next line. Does anyone have any clues what's going wrong?

Use custom font's flat (b) and sharp (#) symbols for chords
Hi everyone, I'm new to Lilypond and impressed with the ease of writing music and the quality of the output. For writing lead sheets, I changed Lilypond's standard font for printing chord names to a custom font. While this works perfectly, the style difference between the chord symbols and Lilypond's flat and sharp symbols is very obvious. Is there a way to make Lilypond use the custom font's b and # symbols instead of the internal ones? Thanks in advance, Matthias ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The flat and sharp glyphs are 'hard coded' as it were. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/the-feta-font#accident al-glyphs While LilyPond can use other specially design fonts, for instance see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/gonville/ (we do mention this in our Documentation but all the installation instructions are here) This still has a hard coded glyph. It may be nearer to what you need though? You would need to replace the specific glyph for the sharp and flat manually within the 'fonts' directory that is installed with LilyPond - which is what the above link does for its own font. I don't know how easy that would be for you to do - it's certainly beyond my knowledge. I already found this solution, but to me, it looks like overkill to simply replace two symbols. Especially as I need the changed symbols only in chordmode - for notes, LiliPond's are perfect. Alternatively you could use the LilyPond glyph within the chordname by using the \flat and \sharp markup. I'm not sure I understand - I do not want to use LilyPond's glyphs in chord names, but custom ones... For my purposes, it would just like to be able to redefine the sharp and flat symbols only for the chord mode, but I did not find any easy solution... and I do not know if this is even possible.
