letters instead of numbers in tab
Hi! Im just now working on an edition of an English lutesong on Lily 2.10 (Windows version) and I would like to have the lute part in tablature not in transkription. As the patches made for lily 1.6 by Laura Conrad to make TAB in to a French lute tablature look- alike does not work on lily 2.10 I'll nead to get the freet- numbers in TAB changed to letters (a = 0, b=1, c=2, d=3, e=4, f=5, g=6, h=7, i= 8, k=9, l=10 et.c.). Does any body have a patch for this ready? (Browsing in lily-user archiv and the documenmtation does not seem to help me. And working trough Lilly's internal workings and getting to know scheem to make my own patches is somewath out of bounds as I don't have that time just now esp if sombody else already have made the work.

Re: Not recognizing "\notes", install problem?
Thanks for your reply. I realize now that the file grace.ly is quite old. I am new to Lilypond, so hadn't realized this. I found a newer version of bagpipe.ly that installed with Lilypond, and see that most of the command names have changed over the older version of the file I had. I've managed to edit the file grace.ly to make it produce the expected output. - \include "bagpipe.ly" \paper { linewidth = 8.0 \in raggedright = ##t } \score { { \mixolydian \grg a4 \grg b \grg c \grg d \grg e \grg f \grA g A } } - (except for some sharp-signs, ,but those I can track down ...)

lyric-ties within a word (spacing/hyphenation issue)
Hello, Lilypond list. I would like to use lyric ties on syllables within a single word, without the syllables looking -- for the presence of hyphen-less space -- like two short words. The problem is that there seems to be a minimum amount of space between the syllables that are tied, and it doesn't seem affected by LyricSpace. Nor can one put hyphens between tied syllables, e.g [ hy~ -- phen ]. So, they look like separate words. Behold: \version "2.10" % Of course, I could just do this: \score { \relative c'' { c b } \addlyrics { plen- -- teous } \layout{ ragged-right = ##t } } % But I'd rather combine this: \score { \relative c'' { c b } \addlyrics { plen- -- te~ous } \layout{ ragged-right = ##t } } %with something like this: % (I've used a middle-dot here, which I think works better than a hyphen in this case.) \score { \relative c'' { c b } \addlyrics { plen- -- te·ous } \layout{ ragged-right = ##t } } %But that makes this (even without any LyricSpace): \score { \relative c'' { c b } \addlyrics { plen- -- \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #0 te~·ous } \layout{ ragged-right = ##t } } %%% My intention, btw, is that these syllables should be less articulated than if they had each an 8th note, but slightly more than if we simply pronounced them "tyus".

Re: Long flat / sharp trills and trills ending at barline
Hi Trevor, Thanks for the tips. I studied the section you mentioned and found the parameter that did the trick – the #'stencil-offset. I had to fiddle with the numbers for a moment to align the wavy lines properly with the "real" long trill line. Now it looks quite nice, though. :-) The snippet below also contains an example how I tried to use the #'to-barline = ##t parameter.

I don't know if this sort of thing is what you're asking for... For me, the biggest problem is the one which is stated as a "Bug" in the manual about the synchronization of grace notes (section 6.5.7 of the manual). I very often write grace notes in scores with many staves (of course). In Lilypond it often happens that I need to add "grace spacing", \grace s8 for instance, on other voices. This makes no sense, grace notes do not take up any time of their own, by definition, they steal it from "real" notes, and therefore it is correctly labeled as a "bug" in the manual. The problem is that the proposed work-around becomes unmanageable. Suppose you're writing an orquestral score, and have the scores for each instrument even perhaps in separate files. One problem you already have is maintaining the synchronization of bars, that is, make sure no bar is missing on any score. But this is supposed to be, and Lilypond has the appropriate tools to make sure the bars stay in synch. This need for "grace spacing" requires you to make sure that "grace spacing" isn't missing in any score, you, the writer, are given by the program an additional task, which not only makes no sense in music as is also very hard to manage correctly. Whenever you add a set of grace notes to one score near some bar line in some cases which I cannot predict correctly, you are forced to add corresponding spacing to every other score. So, I don't know if this is the kind of feature that you may be going to rework, if it isn't, it's ok... I do think this is something which must be considered a priority due to: - It is not easily predictable when "grace spacing" is going to be necessary. - It is very hard to manage that all staves of a given score have been added the necessary spacing.

As for the section 6.6, the "Harvard Concise Dictionary of Music" calls it "expression marks", which includes tempo and dynamic marks, legato, staccato, bowing, articulation phrasing, use of piano pedals, etc. But ornaments seem not be included in this classification. The article "ornaments" [loc.cit.] mentions them as various embellishments by additions or variations of rhythms, melody or harmony. Not a big point, perhaps, but it may make a difference when searching, and the musical treatment is somewhat different, also notationally. Pitched ornaments may require various embellishments (accidentals and grace notes), and the sections on these might be expanded. For example, I am wrestling with the addition of accidentals to pitched ornaments (\trill, etc.), and following the manual, I have added the macros: above = { \once \override Script #'script-priority = #-100 } below = { \once \override TextScript #'script-priority = #-100 } Even with these, the addition of accidentals is somewhat cumbersome. An idea that comes to my mind would if say the "{...}" could works as environments also in the markups. The idea is that writing fis{\trill^\flat} \flat work work in the environment created by \trill, that is markup, and then "^" would be given local meaning as a super-positioning to the \trill symbol rather than to the note fis. Then the different accidentals could be added easily in a very compact notation. For example fis{\turn^sharp_\flat} would be a turn with a sharp above and a flat below. The section might be renamed to say: "Expression marks and ornamentation". Hans Åberg ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
