if you use the latter with \once it should be right before the note to
shift.

\shiftOn will have no effect since \voiceFour implies \shiftOn and would
shift the note to the left (if there is shifting at all)

Re: new and context

2012-12-05 Thread Trevor Daniels

Noeck, you wrote Tuesday, December 04, 2012 8:43 PM

 what is the difference between \new and \context?

Very little.  In most situations they can be used interchangeably.

One difference is that \context Staff = A will search for a previously
defined Staff with the same name and use that existing context,
whereas \new Staff = A will always create a new context, even if
a context with the same name already exists.

I always use \new the first time a context is created and \context to
refer back to an existing context, but this is just a convention and
other users have different conventions.

 I have read 5.1.2 Creating contexts, but I don't understand it yet.
 
 It talks about 3 commands for a context:
  \new type music expression
  \context type = id music
  \context type music
 
 Why is \new type = id music not listed with an extra bullet? Or, why is
 \context type = id and \new type = id is not?

This section of the documentation was last amended in 2006, when the
style was much more casual than the way the earlier sections of the Notation
Reference are now written.  It is likely the author was not very clear how 
contexts worked.  It's time this section was revisited.  Thanks for drawing
our atttention to it.

 Where would I need \context?
 There is an example:
 
  \new Staff \context Voice = A \music
  \context Voice = A \arts
 
 But I could write \new Staff  \music \\ \arts , couldn't I?

Yes.
 
 Ok, I see some differences in the stem directions, but it's not clear to
 me why. I would be very happy, if anyone could explain that to me.

The former uses a single Voice context, the latter uses two.
 
 Would a syntax be possible without new and LilyPond creates the context
 if it is not there and references an exising one, if it has the same
 name? 

That's essentially what \context does.

Greetings All;

In many some of the Gregorian Chant's I have access to they show the
divisio Maior as starting slightly above the third line of the staff and
continuing to just below the second line of the staff instead of a full
bar line like the Divisio Maxima only less bold. Is it possible to get
this configuration using lilypond 2.16?

Regards
Keith


After beating my head against the walls on this for a few  few days
with some very helpful suggestion off list from Jeffrey Trevino, thank
you very much Jeff, I stumbled on a very simple way to do it. While
searching through the documentation I discovered a link to the version
2.17.1 docs that Showed the divisio maior to be the half staff mark
that I prefer. Installed version 2.17.1 and ran a quick test and in
works like a charm.


It won't persist as it has been fixed in 2.17.7, and since the code is
clever, all bets are off just what will be entailed to reliably change
it to the way you prefer.

Cf. URL:https://codereview.appspot.com/6778050#msg11.

This is really to bad. Changing it back to the former makes it very 
difficult to differentiate it from the divisioMaxima. The intended 
audience I have is one that is unfamiliar with chant to begin with so 
even such an seemingly insignificant thing can make its introduction 
much more difficult.


There is a difference between how a line is performed when it includes a 
divisioMaior or a divisioMaxima, The 2 signs should be clearly different 
to convey that to the performer.


Given that the fix is in for 2.17.7 and up, is there any over rides that 
could be applied to make it closer to what it is in 2.17.1.

OK, I think I've mostly figured this out:

\version 2.16.1

marks = {
  \tempo Tempo

}

\new Score 
  \new Staff 
\new Voice { c''1 c'' }
\new Voice { \marks }
  
  \new Dynamics \with {
\consists Metronome_mark_engraver
\consists Mark_engraver

The only problem now is that metronome mark is aligned with the start of the 
music instead of the time signature. I'm guessing this has something to do with 
the fact that it's in a Dynamics context--can someone tell me how to fix it?

The problem with those is that they would require me to remove the engravers 
from the Score context and include them in the upper- and lowermost Staff 
contexts, which poses an issue since I'm using \HideEmptyStaves--if I do both 
of those things and either of those two contexts is empty when the mark occurs, 
it won't show up.

changing spacing between title and first system

2012-12-05 Thread Jeffrey Trevino
Hi there,

Could someone please show me a short, working example of an .ly that sets
the spacing between the title and the first system? I was about to give it
a shot myself, until I saw, under known issues and warnings for version
2.16,

The titles (from the \header block) are treated as a system, so
ragged-bottom and ragged-last-bottom will add space between the titles and
the first system of the score. 

If this is the case, then how can I change the spacing between the title --
to Lilypond, the first system, I guess -- and the first system of music,
without disturbing the spacing between the systems of actual music? Looking
at past versions' documentation, it seems like this used to be easier to do.

thank you,
Jeff

 the first system of the score. 

 If this is the case, then how can I change the spacing between the title
 -- to Lilypond, the first system, I guess -- and the first system of
 music, without disturbing the spacing between the systems of actual music?
 Looking at past versions' documentation, it seems like this used to be
 easier to do.

 thank you,
 Jeff

Hi Jeff,

perhaps someone else should explain it.
The vertical spacing is very powerful since 2.14.2.
But like every very powerful system, it is complicated and sometimes puzzling.

But your basic-problem might be solved with:

\version 2.16.1

\header {
title = TITLE
}

\paper {
  markup-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #50
}

\relative c' {
\repeat unfold 20 { c1 \break }
}


HTH,
  Harm

 May I ask, if you could add a commented 2.16-version of it?
 Although your code will work for 2.16.1 up to 2.17.6 (so far I
 tested), it would be nice to show the new make-engraver-macro and the
 possibility of #{ #} in scheme-code, once the LSR is updated.

 Ok, I just uploaded a new version with the 2.16 code commented out.  The 
 make-engraver-macro is quite nice.

 Thanks for doing this!


 It was a little tricky figuring out the #{ \markup ... #} syntax after 
 getting used to the scheme version.  If it were not for the need to 
 demonstrate the new syntax (which I'm happy to help with) I'd probably just 
 stick with the scheme version at this point.

 I know what you mean. :)
 I tend to use only scheme-syntax in longer scheme-expressions.
 It's nice to show #{ #}, though.

 I eventually got it working in all cases, but had to move the accidental 
 markups into variables

 Well, I do like variables. :)

 to avoid too much nesting, which wasn't working.  Namely this part:

   (if (pair? tonic-acc)
 (set! key-name (markup key-name (if (= acc-type 0.5 )
   (markup #:translate (cons (* mult -0.3) (* mult 0.8)) 
 #:magnify (* mult 0.9) #:sharp)
   (markup #:translate (cons (* mult -0.2) (* mult 0.4)) 
 #:magnify (* mult 0.9) #:flat)

 %  the following doesn't work:

   (if (pair? tonic-acc)
 (set! key-name #{ \markup #key-name #(if (= acc-type 0.5 )
   #{ \markup { \translate #(cons (* mult -0.3) (* mult 0.8)) 
 \magnify #(* mult 0.9) \sharp } #}
   #{ \markup { \translate #(cons (* mult -0.2) (* mult 0.4)) 
 \magnify #(* mult 0.9) \flat  } #} ) #} ))

 It will work, while adding two braces:

 (if (pair? tonic-acc)
   (set! key-name
   #{ \markup { % ==
   #key-name
   #(if (= acc-type 0.5 )
#{
\markup {
\translate #(cons (* mult -0.3) (* mult 0.8))
\magnify #(* mult 0.9)
\sharp
}
#}
#{
\markup {
\translate #(cons (* mult -0.2) (* mult 0.4))
\magnify #(* mult 0.9)
\flat
}
#})
   } % =
 #}))

 % but this does:

   (if (pair? tonic-acc)
 (set! key-name #{ \markup { #key-name #(if (= acc-type 0.5 ) 
 txt-sharp txt-flat ) } #} ))

chord length in beats

2012-12-05 Thread vector

Hi all,
many thanks to Glen for his reply to my previous post(simple chords only 
template). Im working my way thru that at the moment.
I have a question tho how do I tell it the number of bars to hold the 
chord for?


progChords = \relative c {
  \hideNotes
  f1 bes f c bes f' bes f c f bes f g c bes c f c
}


if I make it f1 f f f bes and use the \set chordChanges = ##t  I get the 
desired output. that is four bars of F followed by Bb. The F text has 
been removed from the 2,3,4 bar. Perfect


My question is tho, is there a better way to script this? that is having 
to write four f s. Writing it out the long way my song would be written as

f1 f f f bes2 f f1 c bes f f bes f c f bes f g c bes c c f c

I can use the bes2 to get Bb for 2 beats then F for 2 more (completes 
the bar) then f1 puts it back 1 chord per bar.. I just cant see anywhere 
how to tell it I want F for four bars or even 16 beats.

it's a pity you don't show the whole code you're using - we might directly
point to where it could be improved or simplified.

just an idea:

could you use /\repeat unfold 4 f1/ ?

Hi Daniel,

It has nothing to do with the Dynamicscontext.

Have a look at IR 3.1.70 MetronomeMark
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/internals-big-page#metronomemark
There you can find the property called
'break-align-symbols with the vaalue '(time-signature)
The description says:

A list of symbols that determine which break-aligned grobs to align
this to. If the grob selected by the first symbol in the list is
invisible due to break-visibility, we will align to the next grob (and
so on).

Should be clear now, why the MetronomeMark of the Dynamics isn't
aligned to the TimeSignature:
Because there is none.

Hackish workaround: insert the Time_signature_engraver into Dynamics
and set the TimeSignature-stencil to point-stencil.

\version 2.16.1

marks = {
  \tempo Tempo
  s1 \mark \default
}

\new Score 
  \new Staff 
\new Voice { c''1 c'' }

With \relative you've activated \notemode. I.e. you now could write
notes, rests and all the other stuff one can usually find in a Staff.
But there is no note called g:m
This is a chord. So you need \chordmode _here_ and not later at the
time you call progChords.

P.S.
Please write tiny examples as described here:

No need for all the header, layout, TimeSignature-stuff.

A tiny example for showing your problem would have been:

What' wrong with:
\version 2.16.1

But perhaps you would have seen yourself, why it doesn't work, while

then it needs three pages, with slightly less than half of the third

produce midi drums but hide staff

Hi there,
Im getting the hang of this even tho it might not look it ;) thanks for 
all your inputs.


I wanted to add a simple drumbeat to the previous script and produce a 
basic chord and drums midi.

so far I have this working.
But I want to remove the drums completely from the pdf output. ie just 
show chord progression only.


but
\new DrumStaff 
  \stopStaff
  \hideNotes
  \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
  \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
   
did just that, it hid the staff but the notes are left floating. 
hideNotes had no effect :(

maybe its in the wrong place?

   \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
   \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }

%}

 but
 \new DrumStaff 
   \stopStaff
   \hideNotes
   \new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
   \new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }

 did just that, it hid the staff but the notes are left floating. hideNotes
 had no effect :(
 maybe its in the wrong place?

Angle brackets   indicate simultaneous music, while curly brackets
{ } indicate sequential music. To make the DrumVoices come after the
\stopStaff and \hideNotes, use curly brackets:

\new DrumStaff {
  \stopStaff
  \hideNotes
  
\new DrumVoice {\voiceOne \up}
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
  
}

Regards,
Nathan

 Hi there,
 Im getting the hang of this even tho it might not look it ;) thanks for all
 your inputs.

 I wanted to add a simple drumbeat to the previous script and produce a basic
 chord and drums midi.

D'oh! My bad. I missed the midi bit.

 Hi,
  script shown below
 the log file is indicating a syntax error, unexpected STRING at the g:m
 I thought that was ok to indicate a gminor?
 In fact i cant get any chord modifiers to work at all.

 \version 2.16.1
 \header {
   title = BluesJam Trk4
   composer = me
 }

 progChords = \relative c {
   \hideNotes
   bes1 es es bes g:m

 }

 With \relative you've activated \notemode.

Or rather, not changed away from \notemode, the default.

\notemode/\chordmode are pure input modes.  They don't affect how the
stuff is used afterwards, just what kind of input is accepted.
