Slur adjusting
Hello, I write a piece of Wagner, where there is many many slurs. To make them look better (without collision with staff lines, accidentals, other slurs and ties, to make them stick to notes) I use such predefinitions: \override Slur #'extra-offset... \override Slur #'height-limit... \override Slur #'control-points... My version of Lilypond is 2.4.5 and my questions are: 1) How to revert the influance of such definitions after using it and after the changed slur? I have problem especcialy with control-points -- all the next slurs are changed. I have tried to use \once before the override command, but then changing next slurs with another command doesn't work at all. I've tried also putting the slured notes into brackets { }, it has no effect either. 2) Is there any good method of changing slur curvature and slur beginning point and ending point? Only control-points? 3) Why the slurs so often doesn't stick to notes they belog to? Am I doing something wrong? Best regards, Anna Choma ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: version 2.6.x for debian (unstable or sarge)?
by far the easiest thing you can do is install with autopackage. It works, quite nicely. You can install it to your home directory. Unfortunately, there are not yet any 2.6 or 2.7 packages for Debian. So, if I understand correctly, at the moment the only way to get 2.6 or 2.7 for my debian systems would be installing from source, am I right? No. That is not what I said. You can also install via autopackage. Autopackage is a packaging system that, like apt/dpkg, keeps track of dependencies, and has various front-ends (both GUI and at the command line). You can install or uninstall it as root or as a regular user, alongside your normal, healthy dpkg system. I have had no major problems[1] with autopackage. If you are not interested in installing 2.6 or 2.7 from source, and are not interested in waiting for someone else to create a debian package for you, I strongly advise you to download the autopackage files. For general information on what autopackage is, go to autopackage.org. To save you the link-finding, http://autopackage.org/docs/howto-install/ explains how exactly to use the .autopackage files. [1] I've had no major problems, but I have had to manually fix problems with my $PATH settings that seem to come from autopackage messing with them when I opted to install autopackage locally rather than as root. There are several ways to avoid this. If you are interested, elaboration is easy. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Vertical spacing tweaks.
Fairchild wrote: Not from me, but there have been many postings from individuals struggling with page layout vertical springs. Suggest you ask the user list, with a short description of the feature. (Or maybe anti-feature :-) ) I could implement the following: - add a property line-break-system-details to NonMusicalPaperColumn - This is an alist of properties, that are applied to the system following a line-break at that point. It could support the following properties: Y-extent -- set the vertical size of the system (used as vertical rods) Y-refpoint-extent -- set the vertical size of the refpoints (used as vertical springs) PRICE: 130 euro In addition, I could also make an alignment-stretch-factor -- scale parameters used for vertical alignments. This would make it possible to set the distance between staves in individual staves easily. PRICE: 130 euro With these feature in place, it would be possible to control vertical spacing after line breaks. Of course, it's up to the user to force certain breakpoints. If there is sufficient interest, I can also include a -ddump-breaks , which writes a line-breaks.ly file, containing breakLayout = { \skip 1*4 \break \skip 1*3/4 \break \pageBreak .. etc .. } so that you can use page and line break layout, by doing \score { ..my Music.. \breakLayout } PRICE: 130 euro Contact me if you want to (co-)sponsor any of these features. Prices include debugging, example files and limited documentation. Payment costs and VAT (if applicable) are included in the prices. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I don't think there is any formalized convention, but if you look at the examples in the manual, you will notice that they follow more or less the same conventions. I guess that some of the editors that have a LilyPond mode (jedit, emacs, vim, ...) may have some builtin support for tabbing and so on, which also provides a de-facto standard. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: lilypond and Tablatures
I hope you know that you can click on every example in the on-line documentation, to see the corresponding LilyPond code.

I modified your example a bit and included only the music in your variables/definitions and put all the context related code directly into \score{...}.

metric modulation problem
(Sorry if this message was already sent, I had problems with the mail) Hi, I am trying to put a metric modulation mark, but I cannot find a way to achieve it: so far I have: {a1 \mark \markup { \tiny \note #8 #1 = \tiny \note #8 #1 } a1} but I would like to have the bracket and the number of a tuplet above the first eight symbol, to show that the previous eight notes within tuplets, are, in the new tempo, equal to simple eight notes. You can have a look on those web pages: http://hometown.aol.com/loudfonts/TempiFnt.htm and http://www.dimusicengraving.com/metric_modulation.htm any suggestion?

The only method I know of to get two output PDF files from one and the same .ly file is to include two \book{...} blocks in the .ly file. Each \book{...} will result in one separate output file.

Hmm.. from what I've heard that doesn't seem too obvious to me. If the Lilypond output is the same on the two platforms and the Linux Postscript file is postscript-correct, it seems more to be a problem with postscript-handling on Windows (which is not something which surprises me) If my PS-file works, then why not try to run my .ly file with Lilypond 2.4.5 on Windows and compare at which stages the output differs?

Jan Nieuwenhuizen wrote: Mojca Miklavec writes: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/22512. Well, the script calls lilypond filename. Maybe it should call $(which lilypond) filename. Why doesn't it happen already at the installation time then? Because I do not know how to do that, and none of the core developers use windows or knows very much about it. I tried using BAT wrappers to fix this problem of installation time prefixes, but that was a complete and utter disaster. I had quite some help and input from windows users/programmers, but we could not manage to produce something that would work on more than one flavour of windows. Just to make sure: does that mean that something like: # in file lilypond.bat somewhere in PATH: C:\progs\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 doesn't work on older versions of windows (or that it reduces/badly influences the lilypond functionality)? For simple cases it seems to work on XP. I can perhaps try it on windows 98, but I would have to search for windows 95 slightly longer. (I guess that lilypond.bat also has to be placed somewhere else than lilypond.exe then.)

Ties in second endings
Mats Bengtsson wrote: * Ties are not continued into second endings The standard trick is to add a tie from an invisible note. You can find several examples in the mailing list archives. I did that. But this is also one of the examples where the hack doesn't play well with the entire score. This invisible note takes up space, which ruins the alignment with notes in other staffs where there's no tie. I just realized that one possibility to solve this is to make the invisible note a grace note. In that way, it won't destroy the rhythm. Example: \version 2.6.0 \score{ \new Voice \relative c' { \repeat volta 2 {c d2 e4 | f g a2 ~ } \alternative{{a4 g2 f4 | e2 d }{ \grace{\hideNotes a'4~} \unHideNotes a g e d\ | c1 }} } } Unfortunately this seems to give the same problem as when the music starts with a grace note (causing the time sign to be duplicated). Only now it's the second volta-spanner which is duplicated. So... two hacks would be required. Oh... Apropos co-sponsoring. I would like to co-sponsor the second ending tie bug being resolved.

Partcombine music
Hello, I write an orchestra piece and have some problem with partcombine formatting. 1) I need to have some control over partcombine setting. It's done automaticcaly (sometimes stems and slurs are written in two oposite directions and there are two voices, sometimes the two voices are linked into one). How to achieve control over such formatting? I would like to have more one voice formatting with a sign a2. Two voices are very often identicall, so why are they split? 2) How to raise a little the solo word in partcombine music? It appears automatically and it's ok.

Re: Slur adjusting
Thank you very much. I've just installed version 2.6.3 and many slurs look a little better. But still they need some predefinitions, so I didn't remove commands \override. They work still. Best regards, Anna Choma Mats Bengtsson wrote: The slur support has been reimplemented in version 2.6 and further improved in the latest development versions, 2.7.9 or later. Before you invest too much time on tweaking the output of version 2.4, you may want to try a newer version. Note also that you cannot expect the tweaks you do for version 2.4 to be of any specific relevance in later LilyPond versions. Anna Choma wrote: Hello, I write a piece of Wagner, where there is many many slurs. To make them look better (without collision with staff lines, accidentals, other slurs and ties, to make them stick to notes) I use such predefinitions: \override Slur #'extra-offset... \override Slur #'height-limit... \override Slur #'control-points... My version of Lilypond is 2.4.5 and my questions are: 1) How to revert the influance of such definitions after using it and after the changed slur? I have problem especcialy with control-points -- all the next slurs are changed. I have tried to use \once before the override command, but then changing next slurs with another command doesn't work at all. I've tried also putting the slured notes into brackets { }, it has no effect either. You should definitely use \once. The question is just where you should specify the settings, before the beginning of the slur or before the end of the slur. I don't know the answer, so you had better try it out yourself. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
