heb ik lely draaiend. Weliswaar de windows versie, want linux wilde niet helemaal. Dat laatste ligt niet aan lely, maar aan ontbrekende zaken in suse. Maar nu de windows versie dus. Ik kan HW's hoornconcerten (die van Mozart eigenlijk) genereren en bekijken, via PDF alleen, want de andere viewers heb ik nog niet. Echter, als ik zelf een heel klein test.ly -tje (hé, liedje!) maak, dan is de gegenereerde pdf code onleesbaar volgens mijn acrobat viewer. Komt dat misschien door unix/dos formaat problemen?

Thomas is a personal friend of ours (from the EJE orchestra!), who at
last ('eindelijk') tried lily. He didn't imagine us having so many
non dutch speaking users.
I've explained and replied off list, but you beat me to it.

Oh, that's ok. If his question has some interest, why do not translate
it and post here? Maybe somebody else could be interested in how to
solve the same problem.

How did you install lilypond? apt-get should take care of this dependency automagically.

tablature notation tautology
Tablature notation is used for notating music for plucked string instruments. It notates pitches not by using note heads, but by indicating on which string and fret a note must be played. Seemingly a minor matter, but troublesome, producing wrong thinking, and leading to mistakes already. Tablature is not notation. Better something like: Tablature does not give pitches, but instead indicates how notes are to be played. In the case of plucked stringed instruments, it gives string and fret. There was such a thing as keyboard tablature, for one thing, when the keyboard was first invented. I'll have harmonica tablature pretty soon, or rather a helper for it. It can be done now, without great difficulty. Some wind instruments give fingering by a diagram of the holes. Producing the tab is simply a matter of putting little black and white circles in as fingering. If it's on a single line staff instead of a regular one, it's tab, otherwise, it's notation. Actually, all drum notation is tablature, strictly speaking, but there you don't have both tablature and notation to cause confusion, so drum notation makes sense. Tablature notation does not.

xdvi windows problem
How can I get xdvi and XFree working on windows? Every time I try xdvi it says "Can't open display" and startx does't work either even though all required packages are installed. Please help!
Re: tablature notation tautology
Before this becomes something other than the trivial pursuit that it is, let's lay it to rest once and for all. Tablature is notation. Every dictionary and encyclopaedia I can access, physical and online agrees. Music notation on staves with noteheads, in fact, can be considered a kind of tabliture, in fact. However, music notation is simply a system for indicating how to play music. Any system. Tablatures, successive fingering diagrams, staff-and-notehead-and-flag/stem, the lot. While tablatures are not _limited_ to plucked instruments, the statement is utterly accurate that David Raleigh Arnold wrote: Tablature notation is used for notating music for plucked string instruments. It notates pitches not by using note heads, but by indicating on which string and fret a note must be played. Although the statement can be taken to be exclusive or absolute, it is not either. Seemingly a minor matter, but troublesome, producing wrong thinking, and leading to mistakes already. Tablature is not notation. The claim 'tablature is not notation' is the actual inaccurate statement, leading to wrong thinking. (Notation is not notation because it uses 'notes': notes are called notes because they were a form of notation that became common and wanted a name for the entities. Notes can also be jotted letters on a pad, informative marginal entries, or many other things: are these things all music?) Moreover, the real question is whether the definition proffered originally meets the description of the tablature that Lilypond is currently capable of making. It does. If we're going to get tautological about tablature in a manner that is effective where lilypond is concerned, it might be more useful to consider how we're going to be differentiating harmonica tablature from German organ tablature from wind instrument graphic fingering representations from line-and-number tabs like Lily does now. Unless the mechanism for notating (and perhaps the mechanism by which the objects are selected and placed?) is uniform, this is where differentiating and delineating will be of importance. raybro ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

page break
Hello all,
After installing 1.6.4 for Cygwin, I am noticing some weird behavior.
I am writing a score for string orchestra. Lilypond version 1.6.0-1 was
able
to fit 2 systems on a single letter-sized page. Version 1.6.4 can only fit
one system on each page. Since there are only 4-5 staves per system, each
page has a lot of space at the bottom.
Also, the Lily was here message used to appear on the first page, but it
now appears on the second.
I have not modifed my source at all - the relevent paper section is as
follows:
\paper
{
papersize = letter
\translator{
\HaraKiriStaffContext
}
}
My command line is simple: ly2dvi -P test.ly
Any ideas on how to return to the old behavior? Perhaps there is a way to
increase the useable area of the page?
Thanks for your help,
Alnoor Allidina

Have you looked here?
http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Global-layout.html
Look at vertical spacing and page layout in particular, although you might
find font size interesting too.
Also, the Lily was here message used to appear on the first page, but it
now appears on the second.
Lily was here should appear on the final page. There used to be a bug wherein
if you only had a small amount on the last page, it would print the tagline
on the second-last page. That bug might have been fixed, but I think the real
reason is that you now have more stuff on the second page.
If you want something to appear on the first page (and your score is longer than
one page), then use \header{copyright=blah blah}
Cheers,
- Graham
