This looks nice, but unfortunately I don't think it's going to help in
my situation. These marks denote register changes in an organ score
and appear quite often (about every 20 bars or so). Each such mark
needs to be perfectly centered between the staves. I believe a Stanza
number can only be placed at the beginning of the score (with one
stanza number per stanza), but I might be mistaken here.

Hello Kieren,

Here is a "minimal" example where the \regR appears off-center. This
does not occur if I cut out the \p, but that \p needs to be there in the
score.

regR = \markup \halign #4.5 \normal-text {
\upright R
\raise #0.7 {
\override #'(font-encoding . fetaBraces)
\lookup #"brace60"
}
}

\score {
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff \relative c' {
c4 d e f |
g a b c |
}
\new Dynamics {
s1-\regR\p
}
\new Staff \relative c {
c4 d e f |
g a b c |
}
>>
}

Centering markup between staves

2015-09-24 Thread Robert Clausecker
Hello all!

I'm currently trying to transcribe an organ score [1] which notes register
changes between the two staves for the left and right hand. For æsthetic
reasons, these annotations should be vertically centred precisely between
the two staves.

I've unsuccessfully tried to do this by various means (using a Dynamics
context with the annotations as markup, using a Lyrics context with the
annotations as lyrics [lyrics without a corresponding voice really suck a
lot], directly attached to a notes) and none of these yielded a satisfying
result. The annotations are always more or less off-center. Is there a way
to get the desired result?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Yours,
Robert Clausecker

It would be the best idea to CC this to bug-lilyp...@gnu.org, as this
seems to be an error. If you're lucky, this issue will get a high
priority and will be fixed before the next stable release. The bug squad
won't add any bugs reported at lilypond-user to the tracker, since
they've not enough people to look at both lists.

 1.   The template makes it rather easy to add dynamics, including
 cresc.
 
 My current result however doesn't vertically align objects like p,f
 and the
 cresc text and lines (e.g. bar 11 - 15). What to do about that?

If you want that, you have to use a Dynamics Context in the middle of
the staves. You simple add all Dynamics to hidden rests (s) to have them
snuggly aligned in one line.

You may use the same technique for pedal.

PS: Maybe this is outdated since there are many new features in the
2.13.** releases.
 4.   The (horizontal) position of dynamic signs appear to be
 inconsistent (e.g. compare the p in bar 21 after 2 s8's and the f in
 bar 27
 after a s4).
 How can those signs be positioned better?

look above.

 5.   Is it possible to add e.g. rall. (at the end) to the
 dynamics,
 inorder to align with those?

Yes. Use some construct like c_\markup { \dynamics f \italic rall. }

I hope this is right.

Re: Re: Dynamics Context

2010-03-17 Thread Robert Clausecker
 I found workaround for the dynamics. But this doesn't work for the
 pedal statements. I add a \shift before each item that collides.

Good idea. I think I am also able to add this to a pedal-mark by adding
these lines to the shift-command:

shift = {
\once \override DynamicText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\once \override SustainPedal #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
}

Thank you for the help!

Dynamics context

2010-03-16 Thread Robert Clausecker
Hi all!

I have a problem with the Dynamics context: The Dynamics are always
shifted to the left side, so they often collide with bars in systems
with merged bars.

Is there a way to fix this behavior instead of tweaking the properties
for each dynamic symbol?

Here is an example which shows the problem:

\score {
\new PianoStaff 
\new Staff \relative c' {
b1 | c4 d e f | g a b c |
}
\new Dynamics {
s1 | s4\ff s s s\p | s\sustainOn s s s\sustainOff |
}
\new Staff \relative c' {
b1 | c4 d e f | g a b c |
}

}

I hope you can help me.

Alignment of rests

2010-02-17 Thread Robert Clausecker
I've  created a two line staff (for congas). Sow my question is, howto
chnge the default alignment of half rests to look someway better then
now?

The staff is defined like this:

\new DrumStaff \with {
drumStyleTable = #(alist-hash-table bongoStyle)
\override StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #'(-2 2)
} \bongos

And an half-measure-rest (r2) is positioned just in the center between
the two lines, that looks very uggly. Is there a way to put it right
onto the lower line?

Yours, Robert

Some problems with ties

2010-02-04 Thread Robert Clausecker
I tried to tie some notes together wichs are in different Voices. That
failed. Maybe somebody could help me. This is the score:

\relative a' {
a c a'16 c c'8 h g'16 ~  { g' c, d e } \\ { h8 h } 
}

Additional, the ||: bar behaves remarkable: In a piano staff, it
creates two dots in the center between the two staffs and also at the
center of the two staffs:

\new PianoStaff { 
\new Staff { e2' a' \bar ||: g1 }
\new Staff { d d d d e g e g }
 }

Change Lyrics fonts

Changes like italic or smaller are not my goal. I wanted to set the
font-family to another one.

En detail I made a score for some chinese lyrics. The default fonts
aren't very pretty for chinese, so I wanted to used a special font (For
chinese-speakers: I wanted to use a 楷體/楷体 font) for one lyrics track
only, because I made three lyrics: One in traditional, one in simplified
chinese and one in latin. The special font looks very poor on text
written in latin characters.

Maybe somebody could help me.
