Re: Difficulty in jedit with LilyPondTools
Hello Michael, I know next to nothing about JEdit, except that it installed on my (Windows) system without any difficulty. No-one else has replied, so I thought I'd mention that a few more details are probably required before anyone can help. It would appear that JEdit is not finding a necessary file, which indicates that something might have gone wrong with installation, prerequisite files are missing or not on the path searched by JEdit. I would think that the operating system you are using, what instructions you followed to install the software, and at what stage you get the error would all be relevant. Perhaps it is something as simple as needing to configure JEdit to find your pdf reader or Lilypond: http://lilypondtool.blogspot.com/p/install-configure.html Regards, bruys On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 2:53 PM, Michael Dykes thedoctor81...@gmail.com wrote: I just started using JEdit and the LilypondTools provided as a plug-in for that editor.

Spacing broken tie away from key signature
When a tie is broken across staves, the second part of the tie defaults
to starting right at the key signature. How can I move it slightly away?
Setting extra-spacing-width for the KeySignature moves the first note
further away but doesn't move the starting point of the broken tie. I
also played around with the various space-alist values for KeySignature
without being able to move the tie. When I look at commercial scores I
have, there is usually about one staff unit space between the key
signature and broken tie in this situation
version 2.13.58
notes = \relative c'' {
c1 ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c ~ c
~ c ~ c
}
\score {
\new Staff {
\key g \major
\notes
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\override KeySignature #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 4)
}
}
}

Re: Installing custom font for Lilypond
Am 09.04.2011 04:50, schrieb Aleksandr Andreev: Hello folks, Basically, I'm trying to create a library of Lilypond scores with some of my collaborators and I'd like to automate the process. I've installed Lilypond on my server and I've allowed each user to drop Lilypond source files via a Perl script. The script then calls Lilypond and voila, a PDF, PNG and MIDI all appear. However, much of the music we're working with is Russian Orthodox chant and so it is in Church Slavonic. Thus, I'm trying to install a custom font on the server to properly render the Slavonic characters. Within the Lilypond source, the user sets the desired font name. I've placed the font into the /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Font/ folder and then I've modified the Fontmap.GS file in /usr/share/ghostscript/8.70/Resource/Init/ folder. However, Lilypond still does not use the font. You can check the list of fonts known to lilypond via lilypond -dshow-available-fonts If your font isn't listed there, lilypond will not find it. Normally, you don't have to move the font into a special directory, just install it system-wide, and it should work out of the box, IIRC. HTH, Marc Is there something else I need to modify? Do I also need to place the font in the /usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/ folder?

Perhaps you just need to use the ...tempoHideNote... instead of spiking the
MetronomeMark. This function is very limited and won't deal with dotted

writing the necessary code, so there it sits. I have no provenance on this

I wanted to write a post to this group, but remembered that friends, which I wanted to draw to Lilypond are also interested in my reflections. So I posted them on my blog: Q: Is there a future for free Lilypond scores and Mutopia? at: http://hajos-kontrapunkte.blogspot.com/2011/04/q-is-there-future-for-free-lilypond.html Here are some points concerning Mutopia: (copy and paste) What I would propose: - The depositary should be locate on one site. - Contributors should be responsible for their files - Contributers should identify themselves by real names - Contributers should be able with the help of software to produce from their ly-file a uniform presentation of the music (comparable to Mutopia) - Contributors should be able to make their own corrections to their submitted file. - Mutopia files should be converted and write protected - Software: Could be a Wiki (with login) or Google code / project (like solfege resources or .

Old English font for titles
Back in the olden days, lilypond-book only set the music, and left the
titling to the publishing program. I produced a book of Drinking Songs
in LaTeX, with the titles in hge, an Old English font derived from the
Hershey font.
I now want to do an updated version of this book. I would like the
titles to still be in some old-english-like font. I'm not asking here
as a criticism of the documentation, but because I have a deadline
tomorrow.
I need to figure out:
1. How to tell lilypond how to use a particular font for titles. It
would be preferable to have a variable that I could set for all my
files, so that saying:
title = He that would an alehouse keep
would produce a title in Old English, rather than having to say for
every piece:
title = \markup{[some font specification]{He that would an
alehouse keep}}
But I'll take what I can get.
2. How to install an Old English like font onto my ubuntu 10.10 system
that I can use the above trick on. It looks like finding one should
be easier than turning the hge.mf file I have into something that
current lilypond could make use of, but so far I haven't figured out
how to do either one. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Is pagination quadratic?
The other day I had the brilliant idea of writing some python code to generate
the lilypond input for exercises. After all, generating the lilypond code for
all triads, all scales, whatnot, is pretty simple.
So now I have this exercise study that generates close to 2000 scales like
\relative c { a b c d e f g a g f e d c b a}. And finding the ideal number
of pages takes an ungodly amount of time. Minutes. Probably over 10.
Which makes me wonder if pagination is quadratic (I really hope it's not
exponential!) and if so, if it should be.
Any thoughts?

Re: swing rhythm in midi output?
One way would be to write a music function that produces converts
straight-eighths to swing values. Here's an outline of what's needed.
Perhaps someone has already solved this. You should be able to find some
code in LSR that can be modified to do what you want. Changing durations is
trivial, figuring out where the beats start is a bit messier.
swingme =
#(define-music-function parser location music) (ly:music? music)
Scan music for pairs of eighth notes starting on a beat. Lengthen the
first and shorten the second

)#
mymusic = { % your notes }
\score {
\mymusic %what gets printed
\midi { \swingme \mymusic } % what gets played
}

A2 worked out as I intended but for A1, ideally I would just like the half-note G# visible and the triplet eighth-note G# invisible, so that the first stem of the triplet is the a stem attached to the half-note G# (and the half-note G# still has its downward stem also). How can this be achieved? CONCERNING the area's marked B1, B2, B3, and B4: Look at B1 for example. The triplet bracket circled is too short, I want all triplet brackets to take the entire duration, not just go to the last stem. Also, in the special case of B1, where I have two voices each with a triplet, notationally only one bracket is necessary. Is there any way to make one of the bracket's invisible (like an s rest)? CONCERNING the area's marked C1, C2, and C3: Can I tilt the right side of the triplet bracket down at C1 and C3? At C2i, can I tilt the left side of the beam upwards so it is over the rest?

Re: how to set a partial measure after the beginning of a piece?
Marc Mouries wrote: checked the doc here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Displaying-rhythms and it says: partial command is intended to be used only at the beginning of a piece. If you use it after the beginning, some odd warnings may occur. Any pointer about how to achieve this? The fiddle piece is composed of 2 parts part 1 = 4/4 | partial 4 | notes | measure with 3 beats :| part 2 = partial 4 | partial 4 | notes | measure with 3 beats :| Can you post a png of the beginning of part 2? Perhaps there's a missing indication of first and second endings for the repeat? Two partial measures in a row is highly suspicious. Don't forget that repeat signs are not necessarily bar lines, and that they occasionally appear in the middle of a measure, perhaps creating the illusion of a partial measure. An incomplete measure in the middle of a score should be notated with a change in the time signature, and, as far as I know, NEVER with \partial. Perhaps it would make more sense to use two \score blocks, one for each part. The link Marek provided will work, but may take a while to load since it loads the whole Notation Reference. Here's a quicker link to the split version of the same section: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/long-repeats Hopefully this will be enough to help you figure it out. - Mark ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Dividing ties and adjusting ties in an arpeggiated chord
Hello Eluze,
This is quite exciting. You have produced a decent result. Your method
promises the ability to tweak away to get the exact result required
(but see below).
It looks like you have shown that the part of the manual that I quoted
is misleading, it seems that setting control-points will work in this
setting, albeit with a lot of experimentation to find appropriate
parameters. I tried also adjusting one of the other ties with
control-points, and this seemed to work. It's also possible that the
manual is right, as the parameters I need to use don't make much sense
to me, however it is possible to rig up a solution.
The one disappointing aspect is that (with version 2.13), I get a
warning that Lilypond couldn't find the property type-check for
'dash-definition'. And, if I comment this line out, the result is
basically unchanged. Actually, if I leave this line in, it messes up
the control-points adjustment on the second tie. It would be great if
this did work. Does anyone know if this is a bug?
(By the way, it seems the snippet you pointed me to last time, could
be used to divide the tie in this instance, as there is an accidental
involved. But, that would be a bit of a hack, as this wouldn't
generally be the case.)
Regards,
bruys

Hello Again,
Part 2: If I put each part into a separate voice context, the ties are

i tried another approach starting from your original code:
since the tie of the d'' goes thru the fis'' it looks a bit funny if you
just hide the part colliding with the note - rather it is more appropriate
to start the tie under the fis'' on the correct pitch level.
my solution:
arpeggiatedchord = {

how does beforebreak work?
We have a problem. The only full-time doc writer/editor isn't certain
how breakbefore works, and I'm not certain that he completely
understands the \book{} and \bookparts{} input file structure either.
This has resulted in a much-needed rewrite for Notation 3 Spacing
being delayed by literally months. I'm not kidding.
I know that tons of people here understand this stuff. Could somebody
volunteer to help our only full-time documentation writer learn this?
A few quick emails, maybe with a few examples, can probably make all
the difference. You don't need to know texinfo, or git, or even
lilypond-book. Just basic lilypond knowledge. Just making one or two
.ly files.
It's a crying shame that we've lost so much potential doc work.
Longer-term, it would be really nice if the user community was better
about supporting the doc team. When somebody who's working on
documentation asks a question, please consider responding -- and
respond in more detail than you would normally tell a user. Maybe we
could even revamp the old lilypond consultants idea: whenever a doc
writer is confused about something, they could have a few skilled
lilypond users (and knowledgeable musicians) who would explain stuff
to them, so that they could then write docs for it.
