 This works in 2.12, but not in 2.13.34

Many font-related changes have been made in the 2.13 development
versions, though it's difficult to tell what is happening from this
report.

FWIW, your file works for me with 2.13.34 on GNU/Linux.  See the attached file.

What is the output of lilypond --verbose ?  That might provide some clues.

Thanks,

Lilypond on iPad

2010-09-28 Thread Martin Tarenskeen


Hi,

I lost the original thread, but there was a posting recently about someone 
dreaming about an iPad music/score app using Lilypond. 
But the way Apple thinks about publishing and licensing 3rd party software 
does not match very well with GNU open source ideas.


In the abcusers mailing list there was an anouncement by someone who was 
developing a music app for Android for mobile devices using the ABC music 
notation.


Which makes me think:
Is Android probably a better way to go if someone ever wants to 
develop a lilypond application for mobile devices ?

Why not use an iPhone/iPad app that reads PDF files that LilyPond produces.
My friend wrote a great app for the iPad called Unreal Book, based on the
Berklee Real Book.  There's also an iPhone app that has songs with only
chords and can transpose.

You can check it out here:

http://www.aronnelson.com/wordpress/2010/05/03/unrealbook-for-ipad-released/

http://www.diystompboxes.com/unrealbook/

There's a review of the latest version here:

If you mean a complete and usable LilyPond on the iPad, that's  
probably not really viable, see this report on porting TeX to the iPad  
(and LilyPond AFAIK works similar to TeX):

http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/talks/2010-09-14-arthur-keynote/Keynote-iPad.pdf
(Abstract: It's possible to run TeX, but typing is a pain, and due to  
Apple's restrictions file handling is very ugly, and you must close  
the app after every compile run.)


The other idea was AFAIR a MIDI player with note display - a  
completely different animal.

Szelga, are you saying the Old Church Slavonic text looks OK in
musescore, but gets mangled during the export to LilyPond?  If so, could
you tell us how the text should look.
Also, is the file produced by muscore encoded as UTF-8?

Phil, I think Szelga wanted to do the exact opposite of what you
suggested, the digits interspersed in the text are noise.

Re: 2.13.34-1 freezes when updating syntax (Mac 10.4)

  Gets to the point of saying Applying conversion: and just stops

Others might understand this, but I haven't a clue what you're 
saying. Could you be a little more specific about what you're doing 
and what is happening?


(head hanging in shame; must have been getting late)

I was using Lilytool in jEdit. There's a button there to update 
versions. When you do that it reports progress in a console window. 
The last message that it printed was Applying conversion. Nothing 
after that. It always worked before. The version number at the top of 
the .ly file wasn't changed. I don't think there was anything else in 
the file that needed changing, but don't really know that. I had used 
this button a number of times before and got different results, so 
this was a surprise.


I tried it later in Windows and got a similar result.

There was a post a few days ago noting that the 2.13.34 version 
changed the \version line at the top of the file to 2.13.31. That 
probably made me think that nothing had happened since 2.13.31 was 
the version I started with. However; something about what I saw 
looked incomplete. I had done updates before and was expecting some 
indication that it had finished but never got one this time.


I really should reinstall 2.13.31 to find out what I was expecting to 
see, strongly suspect that I won't. Since 2.14 is now available, it 
probably doesn't matter, anyway.

hello,

please always use tiny examples. help us helping you.

please read: http://lilypond.org/tiny-examples.html

I get volta brackets running Lilypond 2.12 on your example. Note that:

1) in your files, you never use the \with { \consists Volta_engraver }
section (or at least I can't find it), so the alternative brackets print
on top of the first staff as expected.

2) the version in your files is 2.10.10; if you are using this version of
Lilypond, please note that it is probably unsupported and you should
consider upgrading to the stable version 2.12.3 unless you have a really
good reason to stay in 2.10.

greetings,

Vicente

orchestral template, please comment

2010-09-28 Thread Keith E OHara

Dear orchestral writers,
  I don't use LilyPond for orchestral scores very often, which means that I 
need to refer to the template in Appendix 5.1 of the Learning Manual.

  There is one bug with the template, and five other changes that I suggest to 
help it meet the goals set in its introduction.  Would those of you who set 
orchestral scores please comment on these?

  In one or two weeks I plan to put those changes on which there is consensus 
into the LSR, and ask for approval to incorporate the revised snipped into the 
docs.
-Keith


1) Remove the outermost \GrandStaff{}
According to the Internals Reference, GrandStaff does not accept any of the 
StaffGroup/RhythmicStaff/ChoirStaff contexts that were placed inside it.  A new 
Staff (which _is_ accepted in GrandStaff) inserted into the current template 
will appear at the very top of the printed score, regardless of where it lay in 
the input.

2) Change the key signature to something other than C.
Make visible that the french horn part was written without a key signature.

3) Enter notes as written on the instrument parts, as opposed to concert pitch.
The introductory text says that one can, so show how.

4) Revise the introductory text (the block comment at the front of the attached 
.ly).h
a) Say 'in concert pitch' rather than 'in C'
b) Point out how we use \transpose as a tool for our convenience
c) State that \transposition gives information to LilyPond

5) Add \midi{}.
Make it easy to experiment with \transposition, and show that a default midi 
output is produced, even without \set midiInstrument.

6) Remove Oboe Bassoon HornII and Trombone parts.
Reduce clutter, without removing any pedagogical value.

The documentation, yes, but I have not used the package.

I was a bit curious to compare the plain .ly score that Reinhold's package 
would create to the template in A.5.1.  However, his package does not seem to 
generate an intermediate text file; it seems to go from the OrchestraLily input 
file directly to scheme objects.

The models I found most useful were Jay Alexander's scores on mutopia.
