multiple versions on Linux
Provided is the unpacked source of the lilypond version to be installed. A descripton of the steps to install lilypond one finds in INSTALL.txt. More infos one may find at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/contributor-big-page#compiling. Every version will be installed in a specific directory, say i. e. in a directory with the version number. Makes sense beccause one remebers and finds it easily. (Any directory name is possible as long as it is not already present in the home directory.) Assumed, that one compiles from the subdirectory build the first step is ../config --prefix=$HOME/2.16.2 (Warning: actually most Linux distributions update to guile 2.0.5 - does not work! Best use a gule version 1.8) Provied there are no error messages the follow up steps are make and sudo make install now there is a complete evrsion of lilipond in the directory: ich@ich-desktop:~$ ls ./2.16.2 bin lib share ich@ich-desktop:~$ ls ./2.16.2/bin abc2ly etf2lylilypond lilypond-invoke-editor midi2ly convert-ly lilymidi lilypond-book lilysongmusicxml2ly ich@ich-desktop:~$ ls ./2.16.2/lib lilypond ich@ich-desktop:~$ ls ./2.16.2/lshare ls: cannot access ./2.16.2/lshare: No such file or directory ich@ich-desktop:~$ ls ./2.16.2/share emacs info lilypond locale man ich@ich-desktop:~$ To use this particular version one needs a simple shell script: #!/bin/bash exec $HOME/2.16.2/bin/lilypond $@ Here is assumed that one want to compile with the version 2.16.2.

If you like to compile a lilypond file with the stable version do it this way: LP-12-16-2 mylilypondfile.ly with other version: lilypond mylilypondfile.ly Regards I'm not 100% sure what your objectives are with your description, so I don't know if what I suggest is a simpler way to accomplish the same or a complementary approach to accomplish a similar thing. Nevertheless: You can have multiple versions of LilyPond installed side by side, for example the latest stable and the latest development version. What I do with each new release I want to install is: Run the installation script as a normal user (to install in ~/lilypond) ~$ mv lilypond bin/lilyponds/VERSION ~$ ln -s bin/lilyponds/VERSION lilypond If I had already installed a version that way I _start_ the process with ~$ rm lilypond (which only removes the symlink) This way I use the scripts in ~/bin that the install script creates and simply point them to the desired LilyPond installation. Switching between installations is done by deleting the symlink and create a new one. This is _my_ way, not any 'canonical' way. Placing installations side by side and creating individual scripts is equally valid and may be better if you change versions often (e.g. to compare output of different versions). Such a script could also be improved in various ways: A few ideas: - Inject an additional first argument containing the version string, so myLily 2.16.2 score.ly would select 2.16.2 to compile - make the script add an option to tag the output filename so the above call would produce the file score-2-16-2.pdf for example Best wishes Urs ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
scheme tutorial
hi guys, just a quick question, as i'm _really_ trying to wrap my head around some of the more advanced concepts available in lilypond. is there a scheme tutorial you can recommend? i realise most of the functionality then comes from the available ly:* scheme commands, but basic scheme syntax would be handy. any hints? thanks, regards, sb -- Simon Bailey Oompa Loompa of Science +43/699/190 631 25 ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Spacing - should be simple...
Reading that was literally the best moment of my day. Thank you :-) Try addingtop-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #10 to your paper block--adjust the number as necessary. This will affect every page, including page 1--I'm not sure how to limit it to pages 2+. I tried markup-system-spacing, but that didn't work.

For some cases you'll need to adjust the Ambitus manually via \adjustMiddleOfLineAmbitus. I don't think it's clumsy - if you want to be able to place an ambitus in all possible places you'll have to go through a lot of definitions; maybe somebody will come up with other values he'd prefer.

Hello:

A three movement piece has the following in the \header: title, composer,
dedication, and opus.

The “opus” appears at the beginning of the second and third movements. How
can I eliminate them?
** **
Thank you.
** **
If each movement is in a separate \score block and the \header is in the
(implicit?) \book block, you can put this header inside the \score block of
second and third movement:
\header {
opus = ##f
}
Not tested, just an idea taken from the second example here:
