Hi, in song No. 27 the markup text "Variation second." is placed too low, so it´s directly printed onto the notes.
And why are there bar numbers on some systems and on others not. For example, in song 39 only system two and four are printed WITH bar numbers, the others not. In other songs (e.g. No. 41) every system (except the first) has bar numbers. Why? /Dominic 2007/6/12, Marcus Brinkmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi, I am happy to give you a sneak preview to my ambitious music notation project based on Lilypond 2.10, a digital edition of the 1867 song book: The Slave Songs of the United States Edited by: William Francis Allen, Charles Pickard Ware and Lucy McKim Garrison All type-setting of the original 1867 text is finished and in very good shape. Future improvements will be done in other areas, like a new preface, illustrations, MIDI files, etc. This pre-release, although quite usable in its own right, is particularly directed at people who might be willing to take a look at the source code and tell me what I could do better. Lilypond does an excellent job on these songs, and only few manual tweaks were necessary. Some tweaks may be the result of my lack of understanding of Lilypond internals. The whole book contains 136 songs, each about 1 DIN A5 page on average. The build tree produced by lilypond-book is over 700 MB (!) strong, I suspect because the required fonts are copied into each EPS file (can this be improved?). This book is a very important historic document, not only as a document of the harm inflicted upon a people by slavery, but also as evidence for the roots of much of our contemporary music, from Blues to Jazz. It may also be useful to serve as an example for how to use Lilypond in a large-scale song book project, although there is lots of room for improvement. If you have any suggestions, please drop me a note at <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
