Re: variant on many syllables to one note

2011-01-18 Thread Ted Stanion
I'm pretty sure that adding \set melismaBusyProperties = #'() before your
notes will do what you want.

 In the early sixteenth century manuscript I'm working on, the scribe has
 set the first three syllables of angelorum to a single note that I'm
 transcribing as a1. ~ a1. ~ a1

 Is there a way, preferably compatible with \lyricmode, to tell lilypond
 to align the syllables under the respective semibreves?

 (So far, I've tried the suggestions for manual syllable durations and
 multiple syllables to one note in the Notation Reference manual)

Spurious Repeat Symbol

2011-01-09 Thread Ted Stanion
How can I get rid of the extra repeat symbol in this example? I'm sure it is
caused by the rest at the beginning of the repeat. I've tried hiding an
extra note along with a skip, but I can't figure out how to do this and get
the rest back.

Ted

%%% Begin example.
\version 2.12.0

melody = \relative c' {
  c4 d e f
  \repeat volta 2 {
   r c d e
  } \alternative {
{ f1 }
{ g1 }
  }
}

words = \lyricmode  {
  do re mi fa
  \repeat volta 2
  {
do re me
  } \alternative {
{ fa } { sol }
  }
}

\score {
  
  \new Staff { \melody }
  \addlyrics { \words }

Acciaccatura Inside Arpeggio

2008-03-19 Thread Ted Stanion
I've been searching the archives and the LSR for hints on how to put
an acciaccatura inside an arpeggio without success. I've attached a
scan from a Chopin nocturne to show what I mean. Can someone show me
how this is done?

 Hi Ted,

  \paper { ragged-right = ##t }
  \score {

 %a note to improve layout for this snippet

 %a new voice for the hidden grace note
 \new Voice { \voiceTwo
 %an invisible gracenote with arpeggio to join up with

 \hideNotes \grace a,8\arpeggio
 %the rest of the chord. By scaling a dotted crotchet, 
 saves having

 %cf. \oneVoice \once \override Stem #'flag-style = 
 #'no-flag b d8.
 \unHideNotes \oneVoice b d4.*1/2

 \context {
 %allow arpeggios to be connected between different 
 voices on a stave
 \Staff
 \consists Span_arpeggio_engraver

  }

  If it's OK for the slur to be above, it's a bit simpler:

  \version 2.11.42
  \paper { ragged-right = ##t }
  \score {
 \new Staff \relative c'' {
 g
  {
 \slurUp
 \acciaccatura a8\arpeggio
 g d b8.
 }
 \new Voice { \voiceTwo
 \hideNotes \grace a,8\arpeggio
 }  f'16
 }
 \layout {
 \context {
 \Staff
 \consists Span_arpeggio_engraver
 connectArpeggios = ##t

Re: Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?

2008-02-08 Thread Ted Stanion
Please note that I understand that it is LilyPond's intended behavior
to never merge a quarter note and a half note regardless of how
properties are set. I also understand why this should be the default
behavior. I guess I don't understand why setting
'merge-differently-headed should not override the default behavior for
quarter notes as well as flagged notes. I've attached a snippet of
some old sheet music which does merge a quarter note and a half note.
While in some contexts it might be ambiguous, in this case, it is not.

BTW, I have figured out how to fake the behavior that I want.

 Yes it seems strange but i think it is on purpose.
 With a eighth note and a half note, the little hook of the eighth note
 (sorry don't remember how you call that in english) lets you to understand
 the duration of each merged notes.
 There is no way to distinguish a quarter note and a half note if they are
 merged. It can make believe you that it is 2 half notes.
 (of course reading forward in the measure let you imagine the real duration
 of each note)

I tried this and it works for in a DOS command prompt. It failed the same way in

this is a better solution to what I was doing.

Still Have convert-ly Questions/Problems.

2006-04-12 Thread Ted Stanion
I managed to get 'convert-ly' version 2.8.1 to run in Cygwin 
by doing the following:

1) I have Cygwin LilyPond 2.6.4 installed. This was installed 
   in the default location using the 'setup' program.
2) I have Windows Lilypond 2.8.1 installed in the directory 
   c:\nobackup\LilyPond.
3) I copied the convert-ly.py script from c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\bin 
   in Windows world to /usr/bin in Cygwin world.
4) I copied c:\nobackup\LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current to
   /usr/share/lilypond/current.

The script seems to run, but stops at conversion 2.7.40 and leaves 
the line \version 2.7.40 in the new file. (It started as 2.6.0.)
Is this the expected outcome or should it have continued further? 

Ted

Problems Running convert-ly

2006-04-11 Thread Ted Stanion
I had been using LilyPond 2.6.4-1 under cygwin. I decided to switch to 2.8.1
under Windows XP. I am trying to run convert.ly in a cygwin bash shell. I
started by adding install-dir/LilyPond/usr/bin to my PATH. When I try to run
convert-ly.py, however, I am getting the following messages:

Traceback (most recent call last):

What am I doing wrong?

How to Get Line Breaks in the Tagline
