Because of the faster lilypond compilation I prefer puppy-linux.
But since the version 2.13.42 I cannot install lilypond anymore.
As far as version 2.13.41 everything worked perfectly.

It looks that your download failed.  Please try downloading it again,
then tell us.  Also test 2.13.55 or 2.13.54.  Remember to uninstall
older installed versions first.

I do agree though that laser is better than inkjet.

well, saying its related to 10.6.7 is just relying on the fact, that my 
PDFs doesn't print correctly ... on an HP inkjet (in case its a 
difference to a laser/postscript capable printer) ... since I installed 
10.6.7. And reinstalling printerdrivers doesn't make a difference.
I will investigate further and print with ubuntu and/or skim for now

A few comments:

1. I don't think there's anything absurd about wanting to generate
MusicXML output.  IMO, it's seriously needed by anyone who want to
collaborate with other composers.  I work almost 100% in LilyPond even
though I own a full copy of Finale 2010.  LilyPond produces better
looking output and, for me anyway, it's far faster to enter any music
that has a significant number of articulations and dynamics.  OTOH, I
was recently working with a very fine arranger to harmonize a song I
wrote.  She works in Finale only and is not likely to convert to
LilyPond anytime soon.  So I had to use Finale while we were
collaborating and then re-enter the finished composition by hand in
LilyPond to get the output quality I wanted.

2. In the same vein,  Finale's midi creation and playback capabilities
are currently very far ahead of LilyPond.  However, I can't easily
avail myself of them because  so much is lost trying to import
LilyPond midi output to Finale.  OTOH Finale does a very good job of
importing MusicXML and generating midi from that.

3.  MuseScore looks very promising as a free GUI and it can output .ly
xml2ly but can't go the other way.

4.  I realize it's a difficult problem.  From what I think I
understand from Reinhold K's prior work,  successful translation
requires more than syntax mapping from .ly to .xml -- there are also
semantic differences, ie. LilyPond expresses more of the musical
intent than MusicXML.   Hence it's unlikely that a musicxml2ly program
can do the job without re-creating all of Lily's internal logic.

5. Apparently Reinhold, Han-Wen, and others came to the conclusion
that the right way to go involves creating an additional backend for
LilyPond to generate the MusicXML.  However, as discussed in the
thread linked below, it seems as though such a backend would have to
access at least two different stages in the processing chain.

http://old.nabble.com/MusicXML-backend-for-lilypond--td17957920.html

I'd be willing to help out -- in whatever small way I can -- if
someone wants to revive the effort.

Cheers,
Mike

  I have tried all these versions without success: 2.13.42 – 2.13.56
  Repeated downloads also.

 I see.  So you can install in PCLinuxOS the files downloaded from
 Puppy Linux, right? just to be absolutely sure.

Please tell me if you did this.  I strongly suspect that it's not the
program installs in one system and fails in another, it's the download
itself which fails.

 You can test the compressed package. Do
 # sh lilypond-2.13.56-1.linux-x86.sh --tarball

Oops, the --tarball option is not working.  Please test the same with

well you could try the following.

1. close all apps
2. open terminal.app
3. now type

 atsutil databases -removeUser

hit return

then type

 atsutil server -shutdown

then hit return

now type

 atsutil server -ping

This restarts the ats server and rebuilds the font cache.

I suggest a reboot for good measure. 

See if that helps.

If a clef changes within a measure and the same note occurs before and after 
the clef change, the accidental must be repeated.

However were this f an octave higher I'd say no natural (cancellation) is 
needed. So is this pitch being judged as higher just because it is 'higher' in 
the staff or is it really an octave higher? Otherwise it ought to have a 
natural by default. 

That's my rather on the fence take :)

If a clef changes within a measure and the same note occurs before and after the

However were this f an octave higher I'd say no natural (cancellation) is 
needed. So is this pitch being judged as higher just because it is 'higher' in 
the staff or is it really an octave higher? Otherwise it ought to have a 
natural by default.

That's my rather on the fence take :)


Don't C-clefs always indicate middle-C?  Hence the F is the same pitch, right?

You are perfectly right - it's the same pitch :-)

Re: Absurd thing to do

2011-03-31 Thread Shane Brandes
Well it looks like the short answer is that it is a non trivial
procedure, but possibly not that difficult. I do not think anyone
should work on the xml backend on my account. i can certainly live
with out it.

Shane

 As a side note finding a publisher has been a lengthy process that
has as of yet yielded no contracts. The last effort was the first time
I had an editor respond with any enthusiasm, but he unfortunately was
working for a subsidiary that dealt in a different specific genre. My
pieces are all either good Lutheran organ music, as Proff. Boe once
said, if that makes any sense, or piano works that are clearly
inspired by the later romantic era. Anyway it doesn't matter i will
keep scribbling.

  Does anyone have any experience converting lilypond to finale type

  on the awesome nature of Lilypond, but to no avail. Not that it would
  change our other argument (I am an obsolete composer), but I want to
  at least abolish that one if possible. I suspect it is possible to run
  a .ly into an .xml and then import it somehow but have not had the
  opportunity to try it out myself. Nor do I really want to.

 I can’t say for certain, but converting text formats is what I do, so I
 may be able to help.  I’m not familiar with the Finale XML format, but
 if you can send me a sample or a specification, I’ll see what I can do.


 A few comments:

 1. I don't think there's anything absurd about wanting to generate
 MusicXML output.  IMO, it's seriously needed by anyone who want to
 collaborate with other composers.  I work almost 100% in LilyPond even
 though I own a full copy of Finale 2010.  LilyPond produces better
 looking output and, for me anyway, it's far faster to enter any music
 that has a significant number of articulations and dynamics.  OTOH, I
 was recently working with a very fine arranger to harmonize a song I
 wrote.  She works in Finale only and is not likely to convert to
 LilyPond anytime soon.  So I had to use Finale while we were
 collaborating and then re-enter the finished composition by hand in
 LilyPond to get the output quality I wanted.

 2. In the same vein,  Finale's midi creation and playback capabilities
 are currently very far ahead of LilyPond.  However, I can't easily
 avail myself of them because  so much is lost trying to import
 LilyPond midi output to Finale.  OTOH Finale does a very good job of
 importing MusicXML and generating midi from that.

 3.  MuseScore looks very promising as a free GUI and it can output .ly
 xml2ly but can't go the other way.

 4.  I realize it's a difficult problem.  From what I think I
 understand from Reinhold K's prior work,  successful translation
 requires more than syntax mapping from .ly to .xml -- there are also
 semantic differences, ie. LilyPond expresses more of the musical
 intent than MusicXML.   Hence it's unlikely that a musicxml2ly program
 can do the job without re-creating all of Lily's internal logic.

 5. Apparently Reinhold, Han-Wen, and others came to the conclusion
 that the right way to go involves creating an additional backend for
 LilyPond to generate the MusicXML.  However, as discussed in the
 thread linked below, it seems as though such a backend would have to
 access at least two different stages in the processing chain.

 http://old.nabble.com/MusicXML-backend-for-lilypond--td17957920.html

 I'd be willing to help out -- in whatever small way I can -- if
 someone wants to revive the effort.

 Cheers,
 Mike

Subject: Re: no natural sign when clef changes

The terminal f if natural requires a natural sign regardless of that
clef change. Other wise, and being the same pitch as the previous
instance it will perforce have the weight of a sharped note. Probably
not the most common thing to see, but there you are. Remember it is
always better to over inform than confuse, but here it is just a
normal cancellation.

Major version: LilyPond 2.14.0 released!

2011-03-31 Thread Graham Percival
GLASGOW, Scotland -- April 1, 2011 -- The LilyPond development
team is proud to announce LilyPond 2.14, the latest stable release
of our award-winning music engraver.  Music notation for
everyone has never looked better!
http://lilypond.org

Following the open-source motto of release early, release often,
we are making 2.14 available now.  There are still a few
regression bugs compared to 2.12, but we urge everybody to
download 2.14.0 from the lilypond website when it becomes
available and use it in their production systems.  Let us know if
anything doesn't work; we love getting feedback!  We have
introduced a new bug voting system on our website to allow us to
better direct programmer effort:
http://lilypond.org/website/bug-reports.html


Other major new features include:
  * eyeglass markup, to remind musicians to watch the conductor
at critical moments.
  * in tablature, frets can be indicated with colored letters
instead of numbers.
  * The Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm is now fully supported
for single-line markup due to enhanced integration with
Pango, and we now use FT_Error in the prototype for
freetype_error_string().
  * 128th note downstems are now 0.15 staff-spaces shorter.

The full list of new features is online here:

Oh bloody mao.  It's only been out for 2 hours, and you already
found a regression in Emoticon_engraver?!

sigh.

... well, it's too late to cancel the release, so I guess we'll go
down on record as having the fastest Critical bugfix by releasing
2.14.1 Really Soon Now (tm).  I've just pushed a fix for the :-/

 The only bug I found crops up with the Emoticon_engraver added automatically 
 in engravers-init.ly.  I like the way my scores look with it, but I see that 
 the note order has been hardcoded with a comment from Graham:
 
 % This is what my face looks like when I think about writing my dissertation, 
 crotchet=240.
 
 Worse yet, when one tries to remove this engraver, lily issues the following 
 warning: :-/ before refusing to compile.
 
 However, I believe that these are minor inconveniences and look forward to 
 using 2.14 to redo all of my scores with light bulbs and toothy grins!
