I've made a ton of progress on bagpipe music for Lilypond. I made a file named bagpipe.ly which can be included to make a bagpipe mode, with many of the tweaks that are needed to make things work right. The page is currently found at http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/lilypond-ghb/ and it has several example outputs. The preliminary bagpipe.ly include file is at http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/lilypond-ghb/bagpipe.ly and a very simple file which uses it is at http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/linux/lilypond-ghb/ly/grace.ly
There are many obvious advantages of including files over using templates. Additionally, I've made it so that note values are true, so midi output should now be at least less incorrect. In bagpipe music the key signature is traditionally omitted, and the previous bagpipe template simply pretended that everything was in C-major, which would make midi generate a C-natural instead of C-sharp and F-natural instead of F-sharp. The last major problem I'm having is that I can't figure out how to set a default key. Right now I'm adding "\key a \mixolydian" to the notes section of each file. I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me figure out how to set the default key in the bagpipe.ly file. I don't claim to really know what I'm doing yet, so if you have any recommendations or corrections, I'd love to hear them. Thanks for all of the help you've given so far. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868 _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
