Re: How to make the width of the beamlets cover their corresponding noteheads?

I don't know how.

Greetings everyone,I'd like to implement a very straightforward beaming logic, where the width of each beam covers its corresponding notehead. I can achieve this using \set stemLeftBeamCount and \set stemRightBeamCount, but is there a smarter and more automatic way to do this?I don't care about the stem's own relative position to the notehead (left, right, or center); I just want the beamlet's boundary to align with the notehead. Additionally, you can see in the image that the rightward beamlet is slightly shorter than the notehead. It would be even better if they could be exactly the same length.\version "2.24.0"\relative g' {  c8 \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 c8  c16 c16 c16 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16  c8 c16 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16  c16 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16 \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 c8  c8. \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16  c16 \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 c8.  c8 c32 \set stemRightBeamCount = #3 c32 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16  c32 \set stemRightBeamCount = #3 c32 c8 \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \set stemRightBeamCount = #2 c16}Thank you~--  Sent with Tutanota, enjoy secure & ad-free emails.  

Re: Lilypond in Termux (Android)

Maybe you need to run the termux-setup-storage command?Maybe the location where you have your .ly file is read-only for Termux?It's working for me. Communication between files inside the Termux directories and other locations and apps (like my pdf viewer) on my tablet is a bit awkward, but it works.MTVerzonden vanaf mijn Huawei mobiele telefoon Oorspronkelijk bericht Onderwerp: Re: Lilypond in Termux (Android)Van: Shane Brandes Aan: Martin Tarenskeen Cc: lilypond-user mailinglist o.k. out of rampant curiosity I gave it a try on termux. And can't seem to get any output. I managed to download lilypond 2.24.0 and extract it and the chmod to make executable. Added a shebang and ran it on a file.  it appears to work, but either there is no actual output, or it gets placed somewhere unknown to me. Any ideas what I am not doing correctly?

Hurray!If you want to try LilyPond on your Android device: First install Termux on your device using F-droid instead of directly from Google Play Store. I think Termux is not updated on Google Play anymore.Just wanted to share this with the Lilypond community.MT

This is what I would do, using only Open Source software:- convert my lilypond files to musicxml using python-ly (or frescobaldi, which uses python-ly)- load the result in Musesscore to check if the conversion succeeded (sometimes it fails comlletely), and/or if errors can easily be corrected.- use Musescore to export the result again to musicxml- Let the people who insist using Sibelius/Finale import the musicxml file and apply their preferred housestyles to it.MTVerzonden vanaf mijn Huawei mobiele telefoon Oorspronkelijk bericht Onderwerp: Re: Export to XMLVan: Jean Abou Samra Aan: nitra...@posteo.net,lilypond-user@gnu.orgCc: Jacques Menu ,Andrew Bernard Le 25/08/2022 à 14:43, nitra...@posteo.net a écrit :> Dear LilyPond users,>> I used to post questions on the LilyPond forums few years back when it was> possible to post and edit messages directly online (on nabble.com if I> recall correctly).

Re: Windows Media Player alternatives for midi playing?

Timidity is OK, but by itself does not have any "soundquality". That depends on the soundfont/patchset it is configured for to use.MTVerzonden vanaf mijn Huawei mobiele telefoon Oorspronkelijk bericht Onderwerp: Re: Windows Media Player alternatives for midi playing?Van: Erika Pirnes Aan: pablocor...@gmail.com,lilypond-user@gnu.orgCc: 



I have used Timidity++. (I use Linux but apparently you can get the program for Windows as well.) The sound quality is not too great but otherwise it does what it's supposed to do: namely plays the most recent version of the file without the need to close the
 program or open the file again.

lilypond-to-musicxml export is a frequentlly asked, but easier said than done, feature request, that pops up from time to time.
