Re: Lyrics above staff in a SATB context
Is there something I can do about lyric syllables on the first beat being drawn over the barline? (To see what I mean, see see input/regression/lyrics-bar.ly Aha! Yes, it works, although I could use still more space between the barline and the words. However, applying this resulted in the bar lines being extended above and below the group of staves, as far up and down as the lyric lines go, which looks kinda freaky. How do I prevent this? Also, it seems that a period at the end of a lyric sentence causes the word with the period to be aligned rather far to the left with regard to the position of the note it is attached to. I suppose this is due to the implied extra space after the period? This is particularly annoying when a lyric sentence ends on the 1 of a bar (see bar 8 of the example I posted earlier). -- Atro Tossavainen (Mr.) / The Institute of Biotechnology at Systems Analyst, Techno-Amish / the University of Helsinki, Finland, +358-9-19158939 UNIX Dinosaur / employs me, but my opinions are my own.

chordnames disposition
Hello all, thanks for the answers and here is one more doubt. I wrote a piece with chordnames above, but the the inverted chords get much near the next one. So I tried to change the font with \property ChordNames.ChordName #font-relative-size = #-5 or stg. but it seems only the modifiers were changed (eg. 'Gm', only the 'm' became smaller, but the 'G' remained big). Then I put some _ text with \fatText, so it pushes next note away from inverted chords, but this is ugly :) So: Can I change the font-size for chordnames? Is there a way so the bass of inverted chords appear below the chord'd name, I mean: Cm -- Eb instead of Cm/Eb ? And also, chordnames appear left-justified above the note. Can they be centered? tia, -- Felipe ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: How do I conver to midi
Hello Ohannes,
you must add
\midi {}
inside \score {} just after the \paper {} command. If you omit \midi
lilypond does no generate MIDI output.
You can convert .midi to .ly (the reverse) using midi2ly.

how do I convert a .ly file to a midi file. I see there is an -m option,
but I am not sure if this option is supposed to play the song or create
a midi file. It does not create a file and I do not hear anything. My

Chord layout needs fixing
I have mentioned this problem before, but I am providing an example now. Chords in 1.5.60 needs a fixing. Look to the attached example, the suprescript are way to separated above the chord name, specially in simple chords ast C7, the 7 should not be that high. I have looked for a property to fix this, but I have not found a remedy. Any ideas, beyond a software fix in a future version ? Thanks Carlos what_a_wonderful_world.ly Description: Binary data

I made $230,000 in two months
You owe it to yourself and your wealth to read this. AS SEEN ON NATIONAL TV: Making over half a million dollars every 4 to 5 months from your home for an investment of only $25 U.S. Dollars expense one time THANKS TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET! BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!! Before you say bull, please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately. Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are absolutely NO laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can follow the simple instructions, they are bound to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY RESPECT THIS PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER. This is what one had to say: Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and money required. To my astonishment, I received total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in. Pam Hedland, Fort Lee, New Jersey. Here is another testimonial: This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa 3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything. More testimonials later but first, PRINT THIS NOW FOR YOUR FUTURE REFERENCE If you would like to make at least $500,000 every 4 to 5 months easily and comfortably, please read the following.. THEN READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!! FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMS WILL COME TRUE, GUARANTEED! INSTRUCTIONS: Order all 5 reports shown on the list below. For each report send $5 CASH, THE NAME NUMBER OF THE REPORT YOU ARE ORDERING and YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS to the person whose name appears ON THAT LIST next to the report. MAKE SURE YOUR RETURN ADDRESS IS ON YOUR ENVELOPE TOP LEFT CORNER in case of any mail problems. When you place your order, make sure you order each of the 5 reports. You will need all 5 reports so that you can save them on your computer and resell them. YOUR TOTAL COST $5 X 5 = $25.00. Within a few days you will receive, via e-mail, each of the 5 reports from these 5 different individuals. Save them on your computer so they will be accessible for you to send to the 1,000's of people who will order them from you. Also make a floppy of these reports and keep it on your desk. IMPORTANT - DO NOT alter the names of the people who are listed next to each report or their sequence on the list in any way other than what is instructed below in step 1 through 6 or you will lose out on the majority of your profits. Once you understand the way this works you will also see how it does not work if you change it. Remember, this method has been tested, and if you alter it, it will NOT work!!! People have tried to put their friends/relatives names on all five thinking they could get all the money. But it does not work this way. Believe us, we all have tried to be greedy and then nothing happened. So Do Not try to change anything other than what is instructed. Because if you do, it will NOT work for you. Remember, honesty reaps the rewards!!! 1. After you have ordered all 5 reports, take this advertisement and REMOVE the name address of the person in REPORT #5. This person has made it through the cycle and is no doubt counting their fortune. 2. Move the name address in REPORT #4 down TO REPORT #5. 3. Move the name address in REPORT # 3 down TO REPORT #4. 4. Move the name address in REPORT #2 down TO REPORT #3. 5. Move the name address in REPORT # 1 down TO REPORT #2 6. Insert YOUR name address in the REPORT # 1 Position. PLEASE MAKE SURE you copy every name address ACCURATELY! Take this entire letter, with the modified list of names, and save it on your computer. DO NOT MAKE ANY OTHER CHANGES.

lilypond-mode in Emacs on Windows
I have been running Lilypond under Linux for 2 years quite successfully and am now wanting to move to Windows.

LilyPond and Emacs are both working successfully and lilypond-mode is syntax-colouring the .ly files. Ok. Now, that's quite interesting. From our 'lily-on-windows' documentation page: [TODO: * emacs-mode installation, figure out and describe proper emacs-on-cygwin setup. In other words, this has never been done, or at least, no-one has made a comment or written documentation about this before. Installing Emacs directly for Windows seems the only way, currently. However, XFree 4.2 has just been ported to Cygwin, it could be interesting to watch what happens there, wrt Emacs.

That's what you would expect. Ly2dvi is a Python script. Windows is (afaik) not able to run scripts that need interpreters directly, other than .BAT and .CMD or possibly other Microsoft script products (that can be executed directly through email messages :-) What you can try is to make a wrapper .BAT script, like so: ly2dvi-dos.bat: REM Duh. Let's hope no more than 9 arguments are used. REM Hope I'm not showing my ignorance here. python /usr/bin/lyd2vi %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 and put that in your path. You could also try to edit or override the LilyPond-command-alist in lilypond-mode.el, like so: (defcustom LilyPond-command-alist `( ;; Lily probably works, as it's an .exe (LilyPond . (lilypond %s .

I've searched http://lilypond.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ for hints on configuring emacs without success. What should I do? I'm not sure. Probably experiment some more. The remaining problem seems to be, that Emacs is using windows style names to pass them on to ly2dvi. Did you install cygwin-mount.el (if you haven't, search on google for the latest version). Maybe that helps. If it doesn't, you must try to convert the DOS style filenames yourself. You can do that using the 'cygpath' tool (I hope that's still the name). You could try something like: ly2dvi-dos.bat: REM second try bash /usr/bin/lyd2vi-wrapper.sh and then: /usr/bin/ly2dvi-wrapper.sh: #!/bin/bash # let's hope $1 is our dos style filename lyd2vi `cygpath -u $1` If you're handy with Emacs lisp, you can try to convert the DOS style file name in lilypond-mode.el directly, that would be less of a kludge. I hope you can manage, if you need more hints or info, just ask. It would be very nice if you could figure out a nice way to use emacs with lily on Windows, so that we can document that!
