Re: getting rid of ' and , in older scores

2009-06-19 Thread David Bobroff
jEdit, or any decent editor for that matter, has a 'search/replace' 
function.  Can't you simply search for ' and , and replace with 
nothing?  This would cost you a few seconds per file.  I imagine that 
you could also use sed to do this even faster.

Re: SacredHarpHeads: possible solution to major/minor problem

2009-06-19 Thread Ted Walther

I think it is fair to say that in older Sacred Harp music, there are
never accidentals.  But they do happen occasionally.  It it is only in
minor keys that the 6th degree is raised half a step without the
accidental reporting it.

Btw, great Scheme hackery, I knew there must be something like that!

Mark, could I pay you $100 to implement something that fits the bill for
sacred harp minor keys?  If we need to negotiate, let's do it in private
email.  The major keys are as normal.

Are accidentals *ever* printed next to the notes in Sacred Harp?
If not, then all you need to do is this:

\version 2.13.1

suppressAllAccidentals = \set Staff.autoAccidentals =
  #`(Staff ,(lambda (context pitch barnum position) '(#f . #f)))

\relative {
  \key d \minor
  \suppressAllAccidentals
  \sacredHarpHeads
  d e f g a b c d
}

If it's a hard and fast rule that there are never accidentals
except in the key-signature, I might propose that the
indiscriminate suppression of all accidentals be incorporated
into the \sacredHarpHeads command.

If accidentals are printed next to notes *some* of the time,
then it gets trickier. Let me know.



Thanks for this, Mark.  I'm not a Sacret Harp guy and don't really know 
whether there are ever accidentals, but if they're not, then your 
solution above is good, with the exception that the key still (I think) 
has to be called by the relative major so that the shapes are applied to 
the right scale degrees.  This code produces the right appearance and 
MIDI output (confirm this, Tim?):


\version 2.12.2

suppressAllAccidentals =
\set Staff.autoAccidentals =
  #`(Staff ,(lambda (context pitch barnum position) '(#f . #f)))

\score {
  \relative c' {
\sacredHarpHeads
\suppressAllAccidentals
\key f \major
d e f g a b c d
  }
  \midi {}
  \layout {}
}

 Hi David,

  single 
 line melody with lyrics on letter size paper in landscape mode.  It has 
 always 
 worked fine.
  Recently I upgraded Lilypond to 2.12 (on Windows).  Now the width of the 
  line 
 is less than half the width of the page, causing the layout to be crowded, 
 horizontally.  It readable, but not easily.
 
 I believe v2.12 was when the default changed for ragged-right on single-line 
 scores -- to fix this issue, add the line
 
 ragged-right = ##f
 
 to your \paper block.
 
 Hope this helps!

about Midi in Frescobaldi 0.7.11

2009-06-19 Thread Philippe Hezaine

Hi,

It's a little bit annoying thing.
I have installed it on Gentoo with the ebuild improved on the
Frescobaldi's site. All is right. But when i save, compile and want to
play the midi, a box opens where i have to write *each time* the path
from timidity. It doesn't record the info for later.
Well, i don't run KDE, only the libs and dependencies for Frescobaldi.
In version 0.7.6 there wasn't this problem.
If i do install in /usr/local the issue is the same.
Any hints?

installed it into my Applications folder and managed to save the  
example file to
my desktop, but when I open the program and click on the program's  
name in the
top menu bar, no menu appears.  I've also tried ctrl+clicking, to  
no avail; I
can't find the option for compiling the file anywhere.  I've read  
the manual all
the way up to the First Steps chapter that deals with opening and  
viewing the
example file (2.1.1 I believe) and I haven't found any solutions.   
Hopefully

this is simply a problem of my own technological ignorance.
Thanks for your time

There are issues with lilypond on osx 10.5. The lilypond download  
page (http://lilypond.org/web/install/) has several options for  
macintosh users.

 I think Frescobaldi or lyqi has a feature for this purpose.

Frescobaldi hasn't, yet. But absolute - relative conversion is planned.

Re: Can't Change Line Width

2009-06-19 Thread Wilbert Berendsen
Hi,

In 2.12 single line scores are by default short. To have single line scores 
extend to the full line width, add ragged-right = ##f to the paper block.

( You *can* set line-width etc. in the \paper { } block, not the \layout 
block. )

best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen

Re: about Midi in Frescobaldi 0.7.11

2009-06-19 Thread Wilbert Berendsen
Op vrijdag 19 juni 2009, schreef Philippe Hezaine:
 It's a little bit annoying thing.
 I have installed it on Gentoo with the ebuild improved on the
 Frescobaldi's site. All is right. But when i save, compile and want to
 play the midi, a box opens where i have to write *each time* the path
 from timidity. It doesn't record the info for later.
 Well, i don't run KDE, only the libs and dependencies for Frescobaldi.

Isn't there a box to check 'Always use this application for files of this 
type'? The dialog in question is provided by KDE.

In that case, try setting the default app for Midi files inside Gnome. 
Frescobaldi just 'runs' the file, as if you clicked on it in the file manager.

(It might be confusing, the path and command for timidity in the configuation 
dialog is about timidity running as an ALSA midi client (so you can enter 
music with Rumor and hear the notes as played), not for playing back the 
LilyPond-generated MIDI file.)

If this remains a problem, I'll be glad to alter Frescobaldi and make it 
possible that users enter a path to the desired MIDI player, independent of 
the OS default one.

best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen

Large square brackets for modern notation

2009-06-19 Thread Qian Li
I want to draw square brackets taller than staff height to indicate, for
example, free rhythm with specified pitches using stemless noteheads inside
the brackets. I believe Penderecki and others have used them.

Right now I'm trying text markup but can't get the brackets big and heavy
enough to cover the whole staff height.

Thanks

Qian
