Re: Coredump and orphan avoidance code.
Hi Han-Wen,
Thank you for pointing out this defect.
I have created patch 4236027 to address it:
http://codereview.appspot.com/4236047
To answer your question, what the if was supposed to be doing: the
idea was to guard against the situation where there the whole paragraph
consists of only one line, because a one-line paragraph is allowed to be
orphaned. But what I was not seeing, was that the increment-statement
of the for had already advanced list to point to EOL by the time we
reached that if. Quite embarrassing actually.

I think the latter is more likely... for example, if somebody got a grant to typeset 17th century Norweigan folk songs, and decided to use lilypond, and spent x% of the grant towards improving community-oriented tools for folk music archival, etc. This is exactly what we have been doing here for a while. In act, it absolutely amazes me how closely you are describing our project. Only 100 years off (16th century instead of 17th), and only a few hundred kilometers off. But as I was trying to explain last summer, there are some problems. The Lilypond project has a very specific set of objectives. There is a defined set of procedures, a roadmap, a set of criteria of what is acceptable to go into the codebase, etc. The music history research project, has its own set of objectives. And its own set of rules. And procedures. And criteria of what is acceptable. When these rules contradict Lilypond rules, I follow the history research project's rules, not the Lilypond project's rules, because it is the music history research project that pays me. How contradictory are these rules, and how big is the problem? Well on one hand, none of today's Critical Issues in Lilypond, are on the list of priorities for our project. So even if we had 20 full-time developers, it wouldn't help with releasing the next stable version. On the other hand, we have implemented some major new functionality. Seamless markup-to-embedded-score integration, automatic endnotes, merging and visual indication of used sources, and a lot of other things. Can it be contributed back? Hardly in its current form. It causes a ton of regressions: basically, it does not work on anything but Gregorian plainchant. It will immediately crash on any piano music or orchestral music. Will I fix it? Not unless someone pays me to, and I know the music historians will not, because they don't care. What they (and your Norwegian friends with their 17th century songs) care about, is whether or not it is possible to typeset Norwegian lyrics. Which it isn't -- and it's not even Lilypond's fault: SRFI-13 in Guile does not work with Unicode. So we have all this work done, but it would be an even bigger effort to merge it back. Who will do it? In the current situation, I don't know. However, I am making aggressive steps to change this. As we attract more attention from serious organizations, we get into position to bring forward some conditions for the next project. Namely, it will become imperative that all contributions get merged back into the community codebase. It still does not mean helping with things like releasing the next stable version of Lilypond, or similarly, with any part of Lilypond agenda; although I am not sure if it is a bad thing -- if we want to transition from being a volunteer project with limited resources to professional open-source, we will need to face the fact that there are things which customers are willing to pay for, and things which no-one finds important enough to either work on themselves or pay for. But first we will have to be successful to engage in the new project. It is still unclear whether it will happen or not. I will keep you posted.

Re: Lyrics break estimation of vertical spacing
Please forgive me for bumping this discussion, but I was wondering if Valentin, I am sorry I have disappeared from the Lilypond scene for a while. My work on Lilypond development has been temporarily put on the back burner. Right now, we are concentrating on something slightly different: we are working to secure a very large Lilypond-based contract, for a major series of critical editions by a major publisher (I'm not allowed to divulge any details yet including who the publisher is, but I am sure everyone on this list is familiar with the name). IF we are successful, it will mean a radical breakthrough in acceptance for Lilypond.

Maybe I am dull, but we need the line heights (or skyline) for a given
line breakpoint sequence, and a given line breakpoint sequence has a
given skyline for each line.
Correct. And there is O(2^N) breakpoint sequences for N possible
breakpoint places (roughly, for N bars); so we need O(2^N)
heights/skylines and page breakings. The dynamic programming algorithm
deals with this complexity, but even though there are less than O(2^N)
actual configurations to calculate a demerit score for, it is still
prohibitively expensive to perform a full layout every time we need a
demerit score.
Maybe the problem can be alleviated by not associating a fixed line
height/skyline with each bar, but something that is dependent on the
current breakpoint sequence being considered.
Not sure what you mean. We do not and can not have a fixed line height
/ skyline for each bar -- as Joe just explained. For example, consider
music in the G clef; if a particular bar comes after a line break, it
will have a clef, making the bar much taller. So I am not sure what you
have in mind here... something else that I do not see?
Originally, the skyline was approximated by its bounding rectangle. In
other words, there was only one measurement: the line height. About a
year ago, to address the problem with G clefs, Joe added the distinction
between begin- and rest-of-line, for inter-staff, intra-system
space. (So instead of one point we have two). This worked reasonably
well for music with many staves per system; but for music on one staff
(e.g. instrument parts, or monody) this does no good, because all the
space is inter-system. So about two months ago I introduced the
begin/rest distinction for inter-system space (i.e. for computing
pure-height of a whole system). This still left some unaddressed things
like 1062, which is what today's discussion is about.

Although I am happy to have an option to do full line-breaking before page-breaking, I am very much against getting rid of the line and page-breaking interaction. For example, if we did that then we would have to scrap the new vertical layout since it relies on being able to stretch the systems after the pages are determined. And while I have a personal bias against scrapping the vertical layout (since I wrote it), I do think that it is a big improvement over the previous layout algorithm and I have heard comments to that effect on the lists too. Also, the page-turn-breaker can't function without some interaction between line- and page-breaking. I understand the bad effects of divorcing line- from page-breaking. Another one (of those which I personally care about) is that it will negate the window/orphan handling feature I added. At least to my users, this is important. And yes, I do agree that the new layout algorithm *is* a big improvement over the previous one. But what do we do about the height estimation problems? No matter how important the positive effects of line/page-breaking interaction are, a score with staves cut at the bottom, is unusable. And a score with the opposite problem, is equally unusable. Can we realistically hope to fix enough bugs so that real publications will look usable? I don't know. I started working on the estimations because the user's book suffered the problem. I fixed five, and pulled your fixes for a few. And yet the book is still suffering the same problem. I know what causes it *now*, but I do not know if this is going to be the last one *for this book*, and I am now facing problems of customer value when talking about fixing height estimation bugs. So what are we going to do, keep fixing these bugs, under the theory that there is only finite number of them? One thing that makes me nervous is that a lot of the time the fixes involve increase of computational complexity. We are moving from simple height estimation to more and more complex height estimation; can it be that as we approach being more and more correct in our estimation, the complexity also approaches that of full layout? ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: Vertical spacing regression !?
Hi Arno, Here are some design remarks about what I understood from my work on the breaker. Hopefully a sum of a few [dozen?] of mails like this will together constitute something to transform into a chapter in the CG... Thanks, I've reverted the patch in the meantime. However, the information that you see in annotate-spacing is actually computed after line-breaking, ok, so why can't it then be taken into account for page-breaking? The problem is that page-breaking does not come *after* page-breaking. Well, conceptually, it sort of does. But the optimization of breaking is global over the product space of all line breaking possibilities by all page breaking possibilities. It is done in the hope to get more optimal breaks. The downside is that we are forced to use height estimations instead of real heights of things; otherwise we would need to do page layout for every possible break configuration, which would be prohibitively expensive. This was discussed on this list only a few weeks ago. I think we are on our way to get rid of global page*line breaking. Height estimation is just too inaccurate, so you either have music running off the page at the bottom, or (no less ugly) empty space. We did fix a bunch of height estimation issues, but I do not know how many more are left. This one we are discussing right now, is another example of problem caused by height estimation. Since it more than doubles the computation time (often by far) there must be something redundant, no? No, because the height used in page breaking, is not the actual height; it is just an estimate (often wrong). This is what Joe means when he says, ...and they aren't actually correct to begin with.

Re: Outstanding patches
Hi Joe, Could you send me a list of the unreviewed patches that you have on rietveld? I should have time in the next week or so to review them. This issue is not so much the patches being unreviewed but rather sitting stuck missing an ingredient like a test case. And this is partly a practical and partly a philosophical issue for us here: as I am trying very hard to explain (in the presentation and many posts on the lists), *my* focus is not advancing LilyPond along its main direction (there already is an excellent team doing that), but taking it to other, orthogonal, dimensions -- such as making it useful to a musicologist preparing a major critical edition. In this work, we have our own limitations which make it very difficult to do proper disciplined software development. Right now, when presented with a technical requirement, I have to take the shortest path to satisfy the requirement *for this book only*. I have very limited time to care if the solution breaks all other books. Not that I have a low code standard, but many times I have to consciously go against my own standards. This exercise going against developer values is deliberate. It has to do with being customer-centric vs software-centric. If the solution happens to be close enough to being useful for everybody else (this is what I earlier called 10% extra work to get the patch accepted), I submit the patch for review. But sometimes, the shortest way differs from the proper say by 500%; these are the patches I classify within the future work category. This is going to change. Hopefully, with the success of the work on the first volume of the book, will be able to launch a project supporting proper mainline LilyPond development. Now, on to the actual list. Off the top of my head, there are three. Page-spacer gets confused, sits wanting a test case: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs/17443/focus=18865 This issue has a duplicate, Vertical spacing: over-estimation of markups height, recently reported by Nicolas: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs/18831/focus=18857 Pure-height of stems, sits wanting a test case: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs/18449/focus=18450 Homogeneous treatment of markup and markup-list things, discussed back in February and again recently: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2010-02/msg00268.html http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.devel/28717/focus=28813 http://codereview.appspot.com/207105 With this one, the situations is somewhat more complex because I can see the reasons for Nicolas' assessment that the patch makes one markup command behave differently from all other markup commands. I am not yet sure if this is ok or bad. The whole idea of the patch is that a markup command can return either a stencil or a list of stencils, and the code consuming the result, automatically decides on how to deal with what came from the command. If we take this standpoint, then the patch only needs those minor formatting fixes that Carl pointed out.

Re: Presentation: Publisher-grade LilyPond in Ottawa
Hi Graham and all Lilyponders, I was quite astonished to hear that my slides were understood to mean anything pessimistic or negative. If they give people this impression, then it is a defect of the slides which I will fix. But right now, let me address some of the apparent misunderstandings. Are you seriously going to submit a paper to CMJ saying a volunteer open-source project has limited resources for fixing bugs ??? This is not what we are saying in our presentation and/or paper. What we are saying is: We attempted a publication of a major critical edition through a major publishing house, using software from a volunteer open-source project with limited resources. We first hoped that this software would be immediately (or almost immediately) suitable for critical-edition work. We found issues blocking this work. These issues are orthogonal to the main direction of the LilyPond project. We fixed them, making the book possible. Future work includes making these solutions useful for the wide LilyPond audience, not just for the immediate needs of this particular book. Oh, and I hope that this paper to appear includes an excellent reason why you didn't use lilypond-book and LaTeX, which unlike lilypond itself is*designed* to mix music and text. Two reasons, really. Reason one, we did investigate that route. Lilypond-book and LaTeX do not achieve the kind of music/text integration that the editor demanded. Another issue was integrating with their existing database of variant readings. And for me, there was the obstacle that it was not what the end user was asked for. Reason two, the cry for help was heard all over the mailing list starting many, many months ago. Anyone with a LaTeX-based solution yet? Anyone even *suggesting* a LaTeX-based solution yet? After a year and non-trivial (thousands of Euros) bounties offered? I agree that the presentation has a disproportionately large first (introductory) part, which makes it seem like a presentation about LilyPond, while it is really the second part which is the essence. There is a background why I chose to extend this first part to be somewhat detailed. Before the presentation at OCLUG, there were two micro-presentations I did in a more informal setting. They ended in somewhat curious QA discussions. The first question -- asked by a guy who is well-known to everyone in the digital typography and content engineering field through dozens of papers and monographs -- he couldn't believe that today, in 2010, when everything programmable into a computer had already been programmed, today there are still books that can not be printed using already written software. He demanded examples of problems (in music typesetting) which still waited for their programming solutions. So 45 minutes were devoted to these examples. At another micro-presentation, there was another question. I thought music typography was completely solved by Unicode? That is, all you need to publish any score, is LaTeX and a font with all the music symbols in it? So, another 15 minutes to explain why LaTeX+Feta != music engraving system. So this is the kind of questions typically asked by those in the audience who care at all. This is why I felt an extended introduction to LilyPond was needed -- although the real subject of the presentation is mostly orthogonal to LilyPond per se. his slides would discourage any potential developers from joining If there is a person who gets this impression from the slides, then the slides are definitely defective and need fixing ASAP. I am not sure if the presentation had the same defect or it's just the slides (there certainly was a lot more explaining of the reasons and the background), but they are most definitely not supposed to convey any negative ideas. The community showed no interest in addressing these issues, well I am certainly not saying it's the community's *fault* -- the point is that there are other dimensions, which are of concern to [at least one] top publisher, in connection with [at least one] type of book, and which are orthogonal to the dimension of the direction of work of the LilyPond project. After all, none of these issues originated from me; they originated from the musicologist doing the chant research, and the editor of the book -- before I even started looking at LilyPond -- and were rejected as not even being valid LilyPond problems.

Re: [PATCH] Initialize interval in grob_stencil_extent().
There is a chance of returning garbage values from grob_stencil_extent() due to this uninitialized variable issue. No there is not: because this is C++, not C. The existing code is guaranteed to initialize e to the empty interval (i.e., the special interval [+inf, -inf]); your code initializes it to a different interval -- the single-point interval [0,0] -- which is not a difference in uninitialized garbage but a question of semantics. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: GUB and mipsel architecture
I'm wondering if it is worth having a mipsel package on lilypond.org (when 2.14 comes out, maybe). I'd be happy to do it, if I can. A chance to help and learn something new. This should be discussed on -devel rather than -user. I would be happy to build+include mipsel packages, as long as somebody else modifies GUB to handle it, and they fix any breakage in those packages. If they stop GUB from compiling a release, I would simply comment out the mipsel compilation and release the rest. However, cross-compiling is a fairly involved process and requires a great deal of technical knowledge. Don't expect much help, because very few people have any experience with it. The main question is, does anyone really want it done. I did a lot of mipsel development in the past, so cross-compilation is not a problem, but it all comes to user value. A few months ago, I had a pressing request, from a real-life user for whom I do custom features in Lilypond, to produce Win32 builds, and I started looking at digging inside GUB; but when I presented to them an estimate of how many days it would take to have a functional GUB platform, it became clear that my time would be much wiser spent on actual Lilypond development (score layout functionality), rather than GUB, and that using Linux instead of Windows was not *that* unsurmountable a problem to justify potentially up to two weeks lost to GUB work. So if one is about to do something with a real purpose (mipsel Lilypond appliance?? completeness of a distro??) I would expect many people with the right skills to be able to do it; on the other hand, as an academic exercise I personally would not find it the most attractive to jump on -- there are many other interesting problems to solve. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Re: markup-command and markup-command-list signatures
I am working on a system of markups which allows to specify more flexible formatting rules. WE are using it for things like multi-line embedded scores, mixing them with markup lines, rules about what things / combinations of things should not start / end a line, also there are rules like no line break between certain words and beginning ebmbedded score, that kind of formatting rules. I had described some of these ideas in my earlier posts on this list. Markup functions being able to return a list of stencils. Much more importantly, markups need to be aware of what was placed before, and what is to follow, therefore when processing the markup-list, we need to pass a continuation at each step, instead of iterating over the list. This kind of ideas. It even sort of works. Well, works enough for production use by non-programmer users. But still far from being a general Lilypond improvement. The other, easier improvements (orphan-avoiding functionality, page-breaking fixes), are making it fine into the upstream repo: for those, going from the happy state of having the user's problem fixed, to the happier state of fixing it for everyone, is of a reasonable proportion compared to the whole amount of work. But with my markup changes, it's much different. Even the first and simplest of these changes (patch 207105), to go from the current state to an actual submittable patch, will take like 2x the time it took to get it to solve the user's probem. For the bigger problems, like the markup needs to know what's before and what's ahead, or for the integrated text/embedded-score flow, I don't know, could be up to 5x, and now we are suddenly looking at problems of user value, and all the repercussions. So there is development happening which is important to users (= enables a serious academic publication through a top-name publisher), but those contributions can not be used better than just being thrown away by the community. I remember reading on the LKML, kernel guys having somewhat similar problems with vendor patches and integration with the vanilla tree. I don't (yet) know how we should deal with this, just thinking aloud while there is this discussion about the same area of code... that is, any number of scheme arguments, then any number of single markup arguments, then any number of markup-list arguments, even though I don't know if having several markup list arguments is useful or not (and if it's doable). ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

Therefore, I obviously must do development against the latest master.

The problem is happening with 18.

So much so that I am starting to think that sacrificing the benefit of linebreaking/pagebreaking integration in the sake of always running real (non-pure) height, would be the path to having a reasonable layout for our book.

Hi Alejandro, For what you are doing, you probably want to use libmidi; lilypond is more like if your program created a tune and needed to render the score on paper or on the screen.

I am experimenting with some modifications to the line breaking code, and I am stuck trying to understand how some of it works. So far my understanding is that Simple_spacer operates on a vector of Grobs, and it is a well-known Constrained-QP problem (rods = constraints, springs = quadratic function to minimize). What I don't understand is, if the spacer operates at the level of Grobs, which are built at an earlier stage in the pipeline, how are the changes necessitated by differences in line breaking, taken into account? in other words, if I take the last measure of a line and place it on the next line, it is not just a matter of literally moving that graphic to where the start of the next line is, but I also need to draw a clef, key signature, and possibly other fundamental things -- but at that stage in the rendering pipeline, is it not too late?? ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

This is useful because the working copy usually contains other, temporary, changes, that I do not want to be submitted. In this particular case, there is the workaround for the incorrect page height estimation, which got its way into the submitted patch because upload.py just grabbed all the changes.

Re: Enhancement: Page breaking to avoid widow lines
Quoting Joe Neeman joenee...@gmail.com: Again, I'd suggest uploading patches to codereview.appspot.com, which provides nice formatting and makes it easy to have multiple reviewers. Are there lilypond patches discussed there already? I looked around the list of repositories, but I can't find Lilypond. Is there anything special that I missed?

Re: GUB buiding from a local source tree?
Quoting Graham Percival gra...@percival-music.ca: I'm completely serious. My GUB tree is *filled* with ugly hacks like this. It would be nice if they weren't needed, but it'll probably take 20-50 more hours of work until this is the case. Oh, I completely understand this. And this is the exact reason why I am asking questions, because when the code is this rough, there are things that are better to just ask, rather than to try to figure out why -- because we are not dealing with something finished but a thought-in-progress. If you're frustrated already, then I honestly think you should give up now, because it will only get worse from now on I completely realize what kind of complexity we are talking about. And no, I am not at all frustrated. Not from a technical viewpoint anyway. But for me the whole thing about GUB is driven by the organizational side: as a developer, I am completely happy with the Linux development platform, and am much more interested in furthering Lilypond rather than trying to deploy it on a platform I don't even use. But then there is the end-users who want to see it on Windows, but then again they want to see progress in Lilypond development, and the prospect of losing weeks to porting to Windows, makes them want to reconsider their platform preferences. We'll see. As I already said, at this point it's about organizational questions, not technical ones.

Re: GUB buiding from a local source tree?
Quoting Graham Percival gra...@percival-music.ca:
Didn't you read the part where I said you had to read the source, and
that there was probably something wrong in the above line?
Line 17 of lilypond.make is:
LILYPOND_REPO_URL=git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git
That's not hard to find, and I think it's pretty clear that this is
what I meant.
That's the very first thing I found, but that's NOT what you were
talking about in the first e-mail.
It is LILYPOND_REPO, which is a separate variable.
You see, I read both the head revision and 2.11.64-1, and they both
contain LILYPOND_REPO_URL. But 2.11.64-1 contains LILYPOND_REPO as
well as LILYPOND_REPO_URL, and it is LILYPOND_REPO that got removed.
Now, my real question is, does LILYPOND_REPO_URL help, i.e. did it
absorb the functionality which used to be achieved via LILYPOND_REPO.
My understanding is that LILYPOND_REPO_URL is passed as an argument to
git, and then the easiest way is to create a local git server and
commit the changes to it.
But right now, we are not even there, as even simply building the
current official head from the main lilypond repository, does not work.
It hangs when trying to download from the standard url:

By the way, do you have a good reason to build using GUB anyway? Because I read on the maillist that it was not possible to do a native build of lilypond for win32. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: GUB buiding from a local source tree?
Umm. It would be *way*, ***way*** easier to download lilybuntu and do a normal compile in there Then I probably had misunderstood the purpose of Lilybuntu -- I thought this was for people who did not have a real linux setup for doing lilypond development -- like, having all the prerequisites in place etc. For *development*, I am completely fine and happy. It's that I am now happy with the development results and need to deploy, and the ultimate users do not use linux. How does lilybuntu produce the win32 binary anyway? wouldn't it need to do the exact same crosscompile as what would happen in a physical ubuntu box? ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: Enhancement: Page breaking to avoid widow lines
Joe, Paper_book::get_system_specs then you wouldn't even need the markup-list-id property: you could add an avoid-orphan property that only gets set for the last line of a multi-line markup list if it is short. That might also simplify Page_spacer::calc_subproblem. This is the first idea that came to my mind when I started implementing this code. I wanted to have a member called is_last_line_ instead of markup_list_id_, that way the nested ifs in calc_subproblem() become much more readable. But I wasn't sure how to calculate that property inside the Line_details(...) constructor. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: Enhancement: Page breaking to avoid widow lines
Here is the new code -- implementing all that's been discussed. (Ok,
not quite all -- the line length functionality is not implemented, but
all the style remarks have been taken into account, the markup-list-id
has been replaced with is-last-line, penalty made configurable, and
also, (new, was not discussed yet), the opposite case of lonely first
(as opposed to last) line is now properly handled.

Can't you do it in Paper_book::get_system_specs and store it in the Prob
(and then read it from the Prob in Line_details(Prob*))?

GUB buiding from a local source tree?
Hi, How do I tell GUB to build Lilypond from a modified source tree which I have locally, instead of getting it from git? In general, where is the best place to start reading more on GUB, the info on the GUB page is very sketchy, and GUB-related messages on lilypond-devel seem far apart and browsing the list archive for a while, did not get me very far. My immediate need is to test out my patches on the mingw platform. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: GUB buiding from a local source tree?
Oh, and make sure you're using the latest GUB; IIRC there are 2 or 3 different git repositories floating around. You want the one at github. git://github.com/janneke/gub.git -- this one, right? I believe you'll want something like make -f lilypond.make LILYPOND_REPO=/location/of/your/tree lilypond Looks like LILYPOND_REPO was removed from recent revisions? I can see it being in lilypond.make as of 2.11.64-1: http://github.com/janneke/gub/blob/build/lilypond-gub/2.11.64-1/lilypond.make but simple 'git clone git://github.com/janneke/gub.git' ends up with a revision not having it. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
