snippet to properly align dynamics with expressive text

[Shevek]

Dynamics with expressive text, like "p espressivo" are meant to have the
dynamic aligned on the notehead the same as ordinary dynamics, with the
expressive text following. Here is a snippet I've written to align custom
dynamics correctly.

\version "2.18.2"

\paper {
  ragged-right = ##f
  indent = 0\cm
}

dynText = #(define-event-function (parser location dyn expr) (markup?
markup?)
 (let* (
 (mark #{ \markup { \dynamic $dyn \normal-text\italic
$expr } #})
 (offset (lambda (grob)
   (let* (
   (layout (ly:grob-layout grob))
   (props (ly:grob-alist-chain grob
(ly:output-def-lookup layout
'text-font-defaults)))
   (target-X-extent
(ly:stencil-extent

(ly:text-interface::interpret-markup layout props dyn)
 X))
   (width (abs
   (- (cdr target-X-extent) (car
target-X-extent
   )
 (display target-X-extent)
 (- 1 (/ width 2))
 )
   )
   )
 )
   #{
 \tweak DynamicText.X-offset #offset
 #(make-dynamic-script mark) 
   #}
   )
 )

%% Example

\new Staff \with {
  \omit TimeSignature
} \relative c' {
  c1\dynText "p" "sub."
  c1\dynText "fff" "espressivo"
  c1\dynText "p" "espressivo"
  c1\dynText "f" "sub."
  \break
  c1\p
  c1\fff
  c1\p
  c1\f
}

Re: snippet to properly align dynamics with expressive text

Agreed about the optical spacing. My goal was to get the alignment to be
identical between the bare dynamics and the dynamics + text. To my eye, the
fff and fff espressivo are aligned the same, so it seems more like something
that could be improved in Lilypond's dynamic alignment in general.

I would be pleased to contribute this to openlilylib, but I have no idea
how! I've never contributed to a collaborative project like that before. How
would I go about this?

Thanks,

Saul

Hi Shevek,

> Here is a snippet I've written to align custom dynamics correctly.

This is a nice start — thanks!

Two thoughts:

1. To my eye, the f's don't seem centred (the fff shows the "error" more 
prominently than the f". I realise this is an optical illusion based on the 
actual X-extent… but like optical spacing (see 
),
 it would be nice if the function adjusted accordingly (or at least the user 
had the ability to set an adjustment by dynamic).

2. Regardless, you should consider merging it with the analogous function in 
openlilylib (see 
).

Thanks and all the best,
Kieren.

Re: [ANN] LilyQuick 0.94beta - Quick note Lilypond entry using MIDI for Linux

[Martin Tarenskeen]

Hi,

I just re-read the code and comments, and it seems configuring lilyquick 
works a little different. It looks to me that this is done from the 
function InitSetNoteLengths(). I'd rather enter my own list of 
valuemappings in a simple table. I only have to do that once, and 
LilyQuick wouldn't need an "intelligent" function to automatically 
calculate the keyboardmapping. Denemo is just one of many possible 
possible special preferences. A user-editable keyboard mapping table would 
be more flexible. (for example how do I configure a mapping in the 
style of Sibelius ?)

This also corresponds with the keyboard shortcuts for note durations 
when entering notes in MuseScore.

I guess the MuseScore developers also where inspired by Finale.

In Sibelius it's more like this

1 - 32
2 - 16
3 - 8
4 - 4
5 - 2
6 - 1

And Denemo uses

0 - 1
1 - 2
2 - 4
3 - 8
4 - 16
5 - 32
6 - 64

Correct me if I am wrong, most of this info I just quickly Googled 
while writing this comment.


Personally I quite like the Sibelius mapping where 4=4

Good to be able to adjust the LilyQuick lua code to fit my personal 
preferences. Maybe the different mappings known from Finale, MuseScore, 
Sibelius and Denemo can be added [[-- in a comment block --]] in 
LQkeyboardEvents.lua to make it easy to select. Or maybe even a special 
configuration variable could be created in LQconfig.lua

Something like

NumericInputStyle = "denemo"
[[--
or "finale", "sibelius", "musescore", "custom"
--]]


Just a suggestion

Thanks.

One thing: When I run lq, I still have to (manually) connnect its 'Virtual
RawMIDI ' port to 'Synth input port (10726:0)' although I understand from
the code this should be handled by lq itself.
