How to prevent natural signs from being printed when the key signature changes
Dear Lilyfriends,
I am following the steps from the notation manual at this location:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/displaying-pitches#key-signature
My code is:
\version 2.18.2
\score {
\relative c' {
\key f \major c d e f
\set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f
\clef soprano \key c \major g a g f
}
}
But I still get the natural sign printed.
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n168456/2014-11-06-170533_1024x600_scrot.png
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
Thank you,
A

No, it's not a bug. As there would be no other indication of the
key change when changing to C major the key cancellation is
always printed in this case. If you really, really want to suppress it
use either \hide or \omit, depending on whether you want to leave
a space where it was, like this:
\omit Staff.KeyCancellation

Re: How to prevent natural signs from being printed when the key signature changes
You did it as describe in the notation manual. Further it works for key
signatures that have a sharp.
But it doesn't work for C major without a neither a sharp nor a flat.
I assume it's a bug.

Re: How to prevent natural signs from being printed when the key signature changes
Just wait a minute! If you don't have the natural sign and the next key signature has neither sharp nor flat sign, how would you read the new key signature? I think the flat is necessary here.

Re: How to prevent natural signs from being printed when the key signature changes
Ok, that one was a dummy example I made to see if the 'error' happened in a context different from the one I have in my file. Maybe it would just be good to add Trevor's explanation to the website. I actually wanted to copy the following score: I just decided to keep the f key. http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n168461/2014-11-06-183422_1024x600_scrot.png Thank you, A -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/How-to-prevent-natural-signs-from-being-printed-when-the-key-signature-changes-tp168456p168461.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
General newbie query: Creating and displaying dynamic scores using Lilypond?
Dear Lilypond list, We are plotting a networked score system, where each part can be updated dynamically from a central controller. In the simplest case, this would be a set score, with a means to indicate the current bar, as an ensemble plays - this might be a vertical line scrolling through, a change in font colour etc. This would then be displayed on a tablet. Lily pond seems like it might be a nice starting point to develop something like this - can anyone advise: Is this something which could be developed using the API as a starting point??

I think (but don't take my word for it) that a scrolling cursor would be harder to achieve, but for changing colors or the like you could experiment with outputting to SVG.

ANN: TransLily - A minimalist assistant for transcribing vocal and instrumental parts in LilyPond notation.
I've been using LilyPond for a number of years to transcribe individual parts from choral and instrumental music. Along the way, I've tried various GUI's and editor macros but none have proved quite satisfactory --- particularly when it comes to efficiently transcribing more than one part. I coded a solution that's made a significant improvement in the time required to transcribe multiple parts (as individual part sheets) and thought it worth sharing so I put it up on GitHub at https://github.com/Michael-F-Ellis/TransLily The README there is a comprehensive document, so I won't rehash it here. Although I'm describing it as a 0.1 version, that's largely because I've only tested it on OS X. Otherwise, it's fairly complete and solid CLI program written in Python and should run on on Linux and probably Windows. I'd be interested in any constructive feedback either in this thread or on GitHub.

Single Staff Spacing
I'm new to Lilypond. I have a simple score that is short. It's a single
staff score. I'm trying to increase the spacing between staves but nothing
I try is working. How do I increase the space between the staves?
A short example is:
\version 2.18.2
\new Staff {
\relative c'' {
\key g \major
\time 3/4
\autoBeamOff
\partial 4
c8 d | e2.~ | e2 g,8 b | d4 d b | a8( g)~ g2~ | \break
g4 e'8 e4 e8 | d2.~| d8 d, a'4 a | g2.~ | g8 c c4 d | e2.~ |
}

There are various settings you can add to a \paper block to control the
vertical spacing. Try adding this to your file:
\paper {
system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = 20
}
For more details, see the documentation at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables
Hope this helps,
David

Re: Single Staff Spacing
There are probably several ways, but the way I do it is:
Near the top, after your version statement, add a \paper block:
\version 2.18.2
\paper {
system-system-spacing #'padding = #2
}
\new Staff
Adjust the value 2 to a value of your liking.
Another option is to let Lilypond auto-space the systems on the
page to fill the page. To do this, use this paper block instead
of the one above:
\paper {
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}

Jim

Actually David and Jim did give you the answer.
Tu sum up:
\version 2.18.2
\paper {
system-system-spacing #'padding = #20
%% you can also try:
% ragged-last-bottom = ##f
%% and/or (for a multi pages score):
