Any progress in chord name design?
Ahoi, I still gratefully use Thomas Morgan's patch from september 2009 to get minor chord names in lowercase, and apply this patch to every new version I install. Today my 2.13.3 stopped working (OSX error dialog comes up, looks like a pango problem), so I installed and patched 2.13.16, and all is well again. (Otherwise I use an unpatched stable 2.12.3) But there was talk about an entirely new system of chord name definition, that allows the modification of the base character. I guess that still didn't show up? (I don't follow the dev list.) Sorry, I can't help with development myself, I could only offer some money (not much, since I don't earn anything from it). So, a short answer of nothing happened would be enough, even if a pity.

Re: Community of professional LilyPond engravers?
I'm a professional typesetter and programmer and like to have nice scores as a hobby folk musician. For a Unitarian church magazine that I design I occasionally provide song sheets, and recently I got to typeset a whole songbook for a customer - they wanted to design the page layout and lyrics themselves, so I only provided the scores. I charged per song plus a speed fee (since they sent the manuscripts much too late). I calculated based on an estimated time per song, that worked out very well. Most songs were rather easy, everything just one voice.

Mark over last bar line
Ahoi,
I've a four-times-repeat and would like to mark that.
I tried this, but the mark doesn't show up:
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 4 {
g1 | c
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\mark 4×
}
}
Is there a (better) solution?

Of course I found this in the docs, but it looks like the exceptions

defaults?
chord-name-exceptions overrides defaults. If you make a complete

Great, it was easier than I expected - even if I had to look up what
augmented or diminished really means, I only knew two single ones
of them for one special song. Using LilyPond i learn new things every

Now I have:

chordnames tweaking again
Hello again, still fiddling with chord names... (1) I use this nice Scheme function by Carl Sorensen to get fis and des names instead of f# and db. I don't understand enough Scheme to avoid ees - do you? (The lowercase stuff works only with a patch by Thomas Morgan, sorry, so I can't provide a working example here. Carl's original version is here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-09/msg00622.html) #(define (conditional-string-downcase str condition) (if condition (string-downcase str) str)) #(define (pitch-alteration-semitones pitch) (inexact-exact (round (* (ly:pitch-alteration pitch) 2 #(define ((chord-name-german-markup-text-alteration B-instead-of-Bb) pitch lowercase?) Return pitch markup for PITCH, using german note names. If B-instead-of-Bb is set to #t, real german names are returned. Otherwise, semi-german names (with Bb and below keeping the british names). Alterations are indicated with -es and -is instead of the flat and sharp symbols. (let* ((name (ly:pitch-notename pitch)) (alt-semitones (pitch-alteration-semitones pitch)) (n-a (if (member (cons name alt-semitones) `((6 . -1) (6 . -2))) (cons 7 (+ (if B-instead-of-Bb 1 0) alt-semitones)) (cons name alt-semitones (make-line-markup (list (make-simple-markup (conditional-string-downcase (vector-ref #(C D E F G A H B) (car n-a)) lowercase?)) (let ((alteration (/ (cdr n-a) 2))) (cond ((= alteration FLAT) (make-simple-markup es)) ((= alteration SHARP) (make-simple-markup is)) (else empty-markup))) (2) Different, probably easier problem: I must display some alterations as follows: f:dim = f- f:aug = f5+ f:maj7 = f7+ I found the last one on my one, since there is a majorSevenSymbol hook, but I found nothing similar like diminishedSymbol. How can I change the chordname enhancement symbol for each one of these special cases, favourably in combination with the above chord namer?

The \voiceOne \voiceTwo constructs solve this problem. You can read
more in the Notation Reference under 1.5.2 Multiple Voices
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Multiple-voices
Thank you - I read that page several times before.
It's not that easy, since the whole piece is much longer and I need
the alternate voice only in some places.
So I'll use a temporary new voice for the colliding places (as in
Temporary polyphonic passages). A bit complicated, but it works.

Fermata in brackets
Hi there,
I found this code to get any grob in brackets:
#(define (addBrackets grob)
Place brackets round a text object.
(let* (
; Get current text
(currentText (ly:grob-property grob 'text))
(bracketedText (markup ( currentText
; Store the bracketed text back
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text bracketedText)
)
; and print it
(ly:text-interface::print grob))
and it works fine with ChordNames, like this:
\once\override ChordNames.ChordName #'stencil = #addBrackets
Now I'd like to set a fermata in brackets, and since fermata is an
TextScript element, I thought this would work (but it doesn't):
\relative c'' {
\once\override TextScript #'stencil = #addBrackets
c\fermata
}
What's my mistake?

slurs and bars in vocal music

E.g. take any Bärenreiter, Breitkopf, Carus, etc. edition and you'll see that all of them use beaming for melismas in the vocal voices!

Ok, so he's right (and he complains a lot about those American defaults of all music typesetters), but I find it illogical nevertheless. I'm very glad, Thomas Morgan provided me with a patch to typeset minor chords as lowercase - some other European or at least German default that LilyPond still doesn't support.

The reason why I didn't just use [] instead of () is that I didn't want to check and change the lyrics of all the songs that were already typeset.

global settings for several scores
Hello fellow pond dwellers,
I'm trying to set several scores (songs) at once, using \include.
I use \layout and \midi for every single song to be able to get single
output files.
All scores should inherit some global settings like these:
\layout {
\context { \ChordNames
\set chordChanges = ##t
% \germanChords % doesn't work here
}
\context { \Staff
\override TimeSignature #'style = #'numbered
}
\context { \Score
\override BarNumber #'break-visibility = #all-invisible
}
}
Such a \layout block is the only way for global options that i found
in the docs.
And LilyPond even complains that \set is unexpected here!
But \layout must stand within a \score block, and I've several of those.
I guess I could set the properties similar to
#(ly:set-option (quote no-point-and-click))
but I don't understand how I can set the above properties using such a
Scheme function, if that's possible at all.

When I compile [in 2.12.2 or 2.13.3] the score you posted, there is
nothing
I would call a collision.
I suppose it's the (double) 'a', first note of the second measure.
Fiëé, you want to merge these two 'a' notes with different note

Use \mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn before the fisrt 'a'.

* Would you change the stem direction and/or the slur placement in the

* Would you move the eights in the second measure to the right or
combine the different note heads or what else? Would you change the
stem direction?

If you're still looking for a pop song and if a CC license is good enough, you can take mine: http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/lied.php?src=hraban/agradini It's a italo-kitsch like piece in a nonsense language. If you'd like to take it, I'll provide a LilyPond file that someone can enhance at will. At the moment it's CC by-nc-nd licensed; I can change that to by-nc.

minor chord names
Hello pond comrades,
some time ago I asked about displaying minor chord names as lowercase
letters without the m modifier, as it is common (at least) in German
folk songbooks.
I.e.
\context ChordNames {
\germanChords % or whatever
\chordmode { a:m }
}
should print as a instead of Am.
Is this possible nowadays, and how?
There's nothing appropriate in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-chords
Since I don't need fancy jazz chords, perhaps there's a possibility
using chordNameExceptions?

I've seen that it was necessary to write another score with

to include the previously defined score? I fear copy/paste because
I may forget to do it once and the midi generated file will be
incorrect.
Maybe a simple \include with another file would be ok?
Have a look at my attached template:
Just define every voice as a variable and use two different \score

There is a measure in the music where there are two slurred halfnotes. In one verse, one syllable is stretched over both half-notes. The other verse has an extra syllable, so there's a separate syllable for each halfnote. Lilypond's ability to match lyrics with music is absolutely fantastic, but it apparently doesn't handle this scenario. I wound up having one verse matched automatically, and assigning a duration to *every* syllable in the other verse. I'm wondering whether I missed something that would have let me say do the automatic match, but in this measure do it this way. For only a few places you could - include two syllables of the longer verse in quotes - insert an empty syllable (space in quotes) in the shorter verse I'm sure there are more (and better) solutions, but this is easy ;-) Greetlings from Lake Constance --- fiëé visuëlle Henning Hraban Ramm http://www.fiee.net http://angerweit.tikon.ch/lieder/ https://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Lilypond midi to stdout?
I'm glad you asked! The program is intended to have a performance mode: you enter a set of requirements and restrictions on the command-line (this is the creative part!) and then see what it produces. The program then does some combinatorial number-crunching, which can take a long time to complete - in some cases unrealistically long. However, it uses Python generators, so that each small unit of output (i.e., bar) is yielded immediately and then forgotten about, and we begin to see output straight away. Without this feature, some of the larger operations would simply fill the memory and never complete. This way, it can begin to perform immediately. Of course, it is possible to play midi files (or scores) produced by Lilypond at the end of the process, but that may be much later, or never. To date, I've been using the sox synth to play the results, but that's pretty limited; and then by triggering some piano samples, but I realized I was re-inventing midi; and since my program already includes a function to convert my numerical representation of music into Lilypond-friendly strings, the midi data is already being produced. If only I could get my hands on it! Did you try to pipe the MIDI file through tail -f ? That part seems to work, even if I don't know if the engraving during input can work.

My question is about the \new Lyrics command. What's the {s1}
referring to? It uses
sopransob to find the right set of lyrics. When I had four verses,
I used s1, s2, s3, and s4.
got an error message saying that 3 is not a duration. True, but
what's that got to do with
anything.
I find your code somewhat confusing, don't know how that is supposed
to work.
The whole syntax for lyrics is:
\lyricsto someVoiceName \new Lyrics \lyricmode{ your ly -- rics }
Perhaps try my attached song sheet template.

repeat with irregular alternatives
Hello,
I'm trying to typeset a song with triple verses; the first one always
is a bit shorter, second and third share a longer tune.
With
\repeat volta 3 {
shared tune
}
\alternative {
{ first ending }
{ second and third ending }
}
I get (1.-2.) and (3.) alternatives, but I need (1.) and (2.-3.).
How can I achieve that?
I found the docs on manual repeat marks (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Manual-repeat-marks
), but I'd like to avoid that ugly syntax...
I generate my MIDI with \unfoldRepeats - didn't try yet if manual
marks would work with that.

You don't have to remove older files, as they are overwritten. (In
OS X before 10.5, Preview and QuickTime are not dynamic, so that
they do not see the changes.)
I used the existence of a PDF as indicator if LilyPond was successful
- it says file failed very often even if the output is ok.
Of course I must close MIDI and PDF before re-compiling. I could
perhaps automate that with AppleScript (i.e. Python appscript), but I
only tried a quick hack for convenience, not a complete lilypond
shell... ;-)
Unfortunately MIDI is opened in QuickTime Player - I'd prefer to just
play it, like in Finder, but I couldn't find a way.
Also, you might put in an error if Lilypond fails
lilypond $1.ly || {error message; exit 1}
or something.
Thanks for the hint, I should look up how I can check the result in
an if statement...

I've a little script ready for such - but it converts whole files, I don't know if it will affect LilyPond commands. Here: http://www.fiee.net/texnique/?menu=0-2-2lang=en you can download the mab2bib archive, it includes utf2latex.py. Just rename that to latex2utf.py (or any other encodings, like latin12utf or macroman2utf, it analyzes its filename when called). It should work with all encodings that Python knows of.

Re: free LilyPond advertising
Some more usability notes. I'm only a folk singer and guitar player, but a professional typesetter. My first notation program was some crap that I got with an used Mac (forgot the name, it was discontinued). On Linux I tried some very early version of LilyPond but never got it to work (font issues, AFAIR). The same with MusiXTeX. For some years I worked with Harmony Assistant by Myriad. It's a rather cheap shareware and very good for its price - it has interesting audio features and its notation output is at least usable for print - but ugly in comparison to Finale or LilyPond. I can't play keyboard, therefore MIDI keyboard input is no way; placing notes with a mouse needs forever; character keyboard input is usable and fast, but limited. I really liked how I could copy paste passages and transpose (parts of) them with a few keystrokes. Lyrics handling was nasty and got other bugs to workaround with every version. You still find a lot of samples in my Liederliste homepage. Can't remember why I tried LilyPond in 2005 again - I guess I was looking for better printable notes. (I do a Unitarian church magazine that features a song in every issue.) Using TeX for some years and programming since age 14 I had no threshold using the command line interface. Until now I've good templates for my usual kind of work - folk songs with one or two voices or choir settings. For lyrics I sometimes have to use dirty tricks (e.g. if the number of syllables differs in a repeat), but otherwise I'm very happy. Note and chord input works often blindly typing and is rather fast. But LilyPond code is kind of a write only format - even with only one measure per line and some remarks inbetween it gets very hard to read or to find some stuff, and I miss a relation between the same measure in different voices, that makes debugging sometimes very hard. (point click often doesn't work right.) My former girlfriend, an Irish folk fiddler, could hardly read notes and was used to write down her tunes as c d e f g with spacing indicating note length. When I gave her a simple LilyPond template, she could stick with most of her habits and learned to use simple stuff like \repeat very fast, even if she didn't understand most computer stuff. So LilyPond *maybe* even good for beginners. ;-) My choir director uses Finale, and I guess he doesn't tweak much, so some parts of our choir notes are rather ugly, esp. lyrics alignment (as proven by the OP). No, I don't think I can convince him to use LilyPond ;-) And as I'm used to LilyPond's soft, classical engraving, I find Finale's just a bit too cool and pointy. And I guess his printer is too low-res... What I miss using LilyPond: - EPS or PDF output without unneccessary whitespace and without additional files! (for placement in a layout app or processing with TeX) - possibilities to tweak the MIDI for nicer results (not LilyPond's scope, I know) - automatic pickup measures in line breaks (no, Harmony can't do that, but I saw it in Capella) - save transposed parts as source - some special chord notation (after reading the latest discussion on jazz chords I guess my ideas are doable, though...) - simpler possibilities for additional lyrics below the scores (song sheets) - sound prehear with cursor in the note preview - better overview in longer parts (don't know how - code folding, measure counter...?)

A component can be used by several products (similar to LaTeX's \include). The lilypond code is just embedded as a block in the text files, like e.g. MetaPost graphics. In LaTeX you'd call that an environment. ConTeXt's texexec script calls TeX, LilyPond, GhostScript and what else is needed. It also tracks which LilyPond snippet has changed and must get re-rendered.

If so, speak up now or forever hold your peace. :) No. I always use the online manual in several tabs (the fewer single pages, the fewer tabs!) and a Google tab with site:lilypond.org/ doc/..., because it also finds the commands in samples (in contrary to the PDF), and often I only need a working sample of usage (the in- text samples are often too short or not on topic as I understand it or too cluttered - or too simple). BTW I'd like to see an forever-working URL like http://lilypond.org/ doc/current/Documentation/ (instead of the version; should need only one symlink; maybe current-stable and current-dev). There are two solutions for this: 1) Don't split HTML by into subsections; have one html page per section. 2) Merge many subsections. For example, 6.1 Pitches 6.1.1 Writing pitches(includes 6.1.1, 6.1.2, 6.1.3, 6.1.4, and 6.1.5 in the latest proposal) 6.1.2 Octaves/jumping pitches (includes 6.1.6, 6.1.7, and 7.1.8) 6.1.3 Rests(includes 6.1.9 and 6.10) My preference is for 2 -- I can't believe that users want to see articulations, dynamics, and trills on the same HTML page. But as I said, we should probably disregard my opinion on this issue. If you rework the docs anyway, then 2 is good. Otherwise I'd prefer 1.

I have installed the latest (2.11.28) version of Lilypond, and I've executed the ./lilypond-book --output=/ --psfonts [filename] command from the /Applications/Lilypond/Lilypond.app/Contents/ Resources/bin folder. I attach the error log I got for it, which I simply don't understand. I'm on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.10. Does anyone have any idea? (Or is there an other mailing list for specialized technical questions?) It says: lilypond: command not found i.e. lilypond is not the in the path that /bin/sh can see.

Should work. (I didn't test it, though)
Thank you!
My problem was: I didn't expect that I'd need \context two times:
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
\context {
\Score \override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}

Re: LILYPOND_DATADIR in 2.10 / broken MIDI

I thought so too, and I can't reproduce this on my system. Could you remove lilypond and remove any shell scripts? Then install lilypond again from scratch, and read the notes for the OSX app in the 2.11 documentation. The way recommended way to call lilypond has changed since the 2.8 days. Ok, you're right, I still had the old call in my alias: python $INSTALLDIR/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/lilycall.py $INSTALLDIR/LilyPond.app/ $@ The (seemingly errorneous) LILYPONDPREFIX is in lilycall.py which seems obsolete. Using exec $INSTALLDIR/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond $@ as suggested in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Notes-for- the-MacOS-X-app works. Further, in all my MIDI files is the last note missing! (PDF score is good.) Minimal example, please. http://lilypond.org/web/devel/participating/bugs I reckognized my LilyPad still used LilyPond 2.10.12. With 2.10.23 everything's ok. Thank you and sorry for the noise.

Re: name of chord font?

i'm adding chords as text markup (version 2.10.20), and I would like
the chord symbols to look distinct from the other text.
I do the same (with Verdana Bold though), but I think there is a way
to define your own chord names and then you could use normal chords
which can be played in the midi file. Unfortunately I don't know how
to do that.
\context ChordNames {
\override ChordNames . ChordName #'font-name = #Gentium

alternative chords
Ahoi!
For a songbook I'd like to give some chord alternatives (decide
yourself if you'd like to play here c major or a minor) or optional
chords (in braces). How can I do that?
mychords = \chordmode {
% the slash denotes alternatives, not base tones
d2:m c |
d1:m//bes1 |
f2//d2:m c |
d1:m//g1

Re: Seperate Midi-Channel for each Voice?
Am 2007-05-06 um 14:57 schrieb Henrik Schröder:
my problem is that in the midi, you don't hear notes that are
already played by
another voice.
I guess your problem is merely that you don't seperate your voices.
\score {
\new Staff
{
{\relative f' {f4 e d c}} \\ {\relative c' {c1}}
}
\midi {}
\layout{}
}
I define my voices in separate variables like this:
oberstimme = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
r8 f f f e4 d8 c |
c( d) d d~ d2 |
r8 f f f g4 e8( c) |
c( d) d d~ d2
}
}
and use them in different staves:
% MIDI
\score {
\unfoldRepeats {
\context Staff = chords
\set Staff.midiInstrument = fx 4 (atmosphere)
\context Voice = chords {
\dynamics \akkorde
}
\context Staff = ober
\set Staff.midiInstrument = violin
\context Voice = ober \oberstimme
\context Staff = unter
\set Staff.midiInstrument = viola
\context Voice = unter \unterstimme
}
\midi{
\context { \Score
tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 120 4)
}
}
}
I use the same voice variables in an other \score setup for PDF
output, so that I can tweak both outputs separately.
Please find attached my song template (hope it'll come through),
maybe it helps.

Re: stanzas

try as i might i cannot figure out how to add a second stanza in a

staff.
can anybody help?
If you want them below the notes, just add another Lyrics:
\lyricsto eins \new Lyrics { \text }
\lyricsto eins \new Lyrics { \textZwei }
If you want lyrics below the whole music (like in songbooks), you can
use \markup (in a \book, below the \score), but that's very limited -
I use TeX or InDesign for such...

hiding empty staves
Ahoi!
In LP 2.6 I could hide empty staves (also in the first system) with
\layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } }
Can't remember if I also needed
\set Score . skipBars = ##t
In LP 2.10 an empty stave in the first system is only hidden with
\override Score . VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
But that can't go into the \layout block.
It would be rather important to be able to set that as a general
preference (i.e. in the \paper or \layout block) for our ConTeXt
module (similar to lily-book with LaTeX).
If it's possible, please tell me how!
