Hello,

I just installed Lilypond on Fedora Core 4. Ran the test.ly file and got
the following error message:

Slur adjusting

2005-09-20 Thread Anna Choma
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

Re: version 2.6.x for debian (unstable or sarge)?

2005-09-20 Thread D Josiah Boothby
  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.

Vertical spacing tweaks.

2005-09-20 Thread Han-Wen Nienhuys

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.

There's one example in the Tutorial. You may also want to
take a look at the example called coriolan-margin.ly in
the Tips and Tricks document.



PS2: Is there a common practice in numbering code
lines or even typeseting lily language? (Tabbing lines
for example: 1 tab or three spaces or what?). Because
since the program was launched it should have produced
some standard use (like a good practice). I don't have
nothing against democracy but some conventions would
be pretty good; just in case one wishes read more
easily another people's code.


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.

I have some templates for scores for marching band. (which have many of
the same properties as orchestral scores.)
The aim is to be able to easily transpose, quote and extract voices.
It's still plagued by some bugs (lilypond and mine) though.

Is there a place to submit such examples for others to see?

Re: lilypond and Tablatures

2005-09-20 Thread Mats Bengtsson

I hope you know that you can click on every example in the
on-line documentation, to see the corresponding LilyPond code.
For example, the second example in Section 7.5.2 Tablatures basic
seems very similar to what you want to do, right?


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{...}. I find it easier to understand the
full structure of the piece to do it that way, but you may
have other preferences. Anyway, after my modifications, the
code looks like this:

Melodie =  {
\set Staff.midiInstrument = acoustic guitar (nylon)
\time 2/4
\key g \major
d'16-3 fis'-2 e'-0 c''-4 d' fis' e' c'' |

Basse = {

\set Staff.midiInstrument = acoustic guitar (nylon)
\time 2/4
\key g \major

}


\score {
  
\context Staff = MelodieStaff

Viewing Postscript Files in Windows..

Hi All,

A quick update on viewing postscript files in

with

Linux.Debian Sarge+DeMuDiLilypond

If the Lilypond output is the same on the two platforms and the Linux

What I proposed is to implement individual line spacing control
with\breakSpace #n to force n staff spaces between lines, and
\pageBreakSpace #n to force n staff spaces at the bottom of a page.  Spacing
following normal breaks or those forced with \break or \pageBreak would be
calculated as now.



This presents a simple syntax to the user, and allows precise vertical
spacing of individual lines or of an entire page if each line is followed by
a \breakSpace or \pageBreakSpace.


What I am proposing is a  more fine-grained control of the spacing 
engine. It would be possible to write syntactic sugar (eg. \breakSpace

Usually, syntax sugar is the easy part of solving a problem.  I propose 
 that the hard parts of the problem be addressed first.

Great that you want to contribute!

Some comments:

- Citing the introductory text of the LSR: LSR is a place where people
  can contribute there creative ideas ...these ideas are represented by
  snippets of Lilypond sources—small examples, short and to the point,
  that show a particular feature or a hack.
  I have myself argued that LSR is also a place for templates, i.e.
  examples of how to organize an .ly file.
  Before you submit your score, take a moment to consider what it really
  is you want to illustrate. The impression I got when looking at your
  example was that it illustrated a large number of different things.
  Maybe it's better to cut it down and separate out several snippets
  where each is more focused on some specific aspect?

- Add comments in the code to make it easier for others to follow
  what you are doing.

Re: Viewing Postscript Files in Windows..

2005-09-20 Thread Mats Bengtsson

If you read earlier emails on this thread, you will notice that
it doesn't help to upgrade to ghostscript =8.15 in Windows.

Also, for files produced by LilyPond 2.6 or newer, it doesn't
help if it was produced in Linux or Windows, I get the same
error message from GSView anyway.

lilypond 2.4.x uses a completely different mechanism for producing postscript 
files, than 2.6. To view lilypond 2.6 output, you will most likely need 
ghostscript = 8.15 (gsview uses ghostscript to display the files)

metric modulation problem

2005-09-20 Thread libero . mureddu3
(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?

Regards,

Re: pdf pickle

2005-09-20 Thread Mats Bengtsson

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. Example

\version 2.6.0
\book{
% The score of the first output file
\score{
  \relative c'{c d e f | g1}
}
}

\book{
% The score of the second output file
\score{
  \relative c'{c e g e | c1}
}
}

Autopackage for bash

2005-09-20 Thread Chen Ming Tien

In July, I tried installing Lilypond 2.6.0, but the autopackage did not
work. I am running GNU bash 1.14.7(1) under Caldera OpenLinux 2.2.14.

I recently tried again with 2.7.4 and got the same error messages:

As far as I know, [[ ]] is ksh syntax, not bash syntax.

I would be most grateful to know of a package that works with bash, or of
any other solution.

Thank you.

 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

 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?

 Because I do not know how to do that, and none of the core developers

 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

2005-09-20 Thread Peter Mogensen
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

2005-09-20 Thread Anna Choma
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.

Thank you very much. I've just installed version 2.6.3 and many slurs

 Note also that you cannot expect the tweaks you do for version 2.4

 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.
