Re: exotic chord
Unfortunately AFAIK you have to customize manually as in the example at

Still, I prefer the ø way, it is easier to read and recognize.

Well, I hope I got your problem right: In Germany that's called 'halb
vermindert' (the English translation might be 'half diminished' (dunno if
that's correct), and for that the notation 'ø' is just fine, as a diminished
chord would get '⁰' (without the line). Maybe there is something like
\semiGermanChords (within the chords section) for your preferred typesetting,
too.

Use normal chord syntax.

It's a little tricky because your entry will be converted to a lyric
context
to create chords now but what you want is easily achieved, just type
a-m7f5 .
The solution is to use chord exceptions, as I explained in another
post which I managed to not send to the list but did send to you
directly.
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=chord+exception
You can modify this to change the m7b5/half-diminished chord (the
Lilypond default for this is Aø which is correct, a common notation
used in jazz charts; but many people prefer to have m7b5 spelled out).
Alternatively you can use a whole list of chord exceptions and use
\include to make use of it. I append the one I use, given to me by
James Hammons (I hope he doesn't mind). Copy this in to a file
called pop-chords.ly and then put
\include path/to/pop-chords.ly
replacing the path/to/ part with the actual path to wherever you have
put the pop-chords.ly file.

First, you want to extract the music from the stream event, I think (ly:event-property event 'Music) (but I'm not sure about this step) Once you have the music, then you get the elements of the music: (ly:music-property music 'elements) Now, elements is a list of music elements, so you'll want to get the duration from the first element of elements: (ly:music-property (car elements) 'duration) As you can probably tell, I'm also learning scheme. I've been looking for a reason to learn scheme and the new capability of writing scheme engravers has hooked me! Looks like you're doing a good job of it!

Change Lyrics fonts
Changes like italic or smaller are not my goal. I wanted to set the font-family to another one. En detail I made a score for some chinese lyrics. The default fonts aren't very pretty for chinese, so I wanted to used a special font (For chinese-speakers: I wanted to use a 楷體/楷体 font) for one lyrics track only, because I made three lyrics: One in traditional, one in simplified chinese and one in latin. The special font looks very poor on text written in latin characters. Maybe somebody could help me. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Change Lyrics fonts
Hi Robert,
Changes like italic or smaller are not my goal.
I wanted to set the font-family to another one.
Then do it! ;)
Pseudocode:
\new Voice \myMelody
\new Lyrics \myEnglishLyrics
\new Lyrics \with { \override LyricText #'font-family ... } \myChineseLyrics
You just need to search the docs/LSR/etc. for instructions/examples on setting
the font-family.
Cheers,
Kieren.

New Articulate script available for better midi output
Hi Folks,
There's a new version of the `articulate' script available at
http://www.nicta.com.au/people/chubbp/articulate
Changes are:
-- fix bad synchronisation after breathing, explicit line
break and fingering events
-- add staccatissimo
-- fix duration of trillspanners
Thanks to all the people who gave feedback/bugreports/patches (there
were three people who sent staccatissimo patches!)
For those who don't know yet, `articulate' is a bunch of scheme code
that rewrites lily input to make it sound right in the midi output;
basically shortening notes to mark out phrase and slur ends, staccato
and staccatissimo, and realising trills, turns and some tempo
markings.
You use it by:
\include articulate.ly
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \articulate put your music here
\midi{}
}
(or there's a convenience script called `lilywrap' in the tarball that
makes exactly these additions to a lilypond file and invokes lilypond
for you).

Hmm. I don't see anything wrong/unusual about this output.
Also, your patch below doesn't affect later behavior, so your font
issue is still unresolved.
Can you compile LilyPond on different machines to compare logs of
configure, make, etc. ? I don't know how else I would debug this
problem, since I've never seen these specific symptoms before.
I did modify the configure script to use the python-config program on
OSX, the patch is below. I'm fairly sure that this won't change later

Can you explain why you need this? This is a little over my head.
If you want to get this integrated with LilyPond, you'll need to patch
the higher-level autoconf files, since configure is autogenerated.
It looks like stepmake/aclocal.m4 is where the various python-config
checks are made.

I need to make a chart of rhythmic fragments consisting of
one or two measures per line
the measures need to be centered on the line
there will be 10 - 12 lines per page
and each fragment needs to be uniformly approx 3-4 inches in length
and contain the meter (4/8) and a rhythm 'clef'
next to each of the fragments will be a small text box with some
instructions or notes
so far what I've been doing is using the Lilypond plugin for OpenOffice
and generating the measure one at a time
and centering them on a page
now that I've gotten this far I now need to add dynamics and stick info
here is a problem I'm running into:
one measure I want to make has the last note of a tuplet tied to the
first note of another tuplet in the following measure
and I get a 'decresendo too small' warning when I try to compile it
how do I make the measures longer so I can place the descresendo?
