I'd agree that's what it should be. But it doesn't seem to work. I think
that's a bug, and it could be argued it's a regression, since you could
space scores apart in 2.12.

Re: How to do jazz-style bar repeats
Hola
Now, I am not sure how to actually use this in a file. I tried just using
\include in my file and putting the \inlineMMRN R2.*4 where I want it to
appear. I ended up with 3/4 time, five empty bars with rehearsal marks at
the top of the score, followed by a repeat and six bars with the desired
indication of four bars to be repeated, followed by another repeat. And the
bars where I want the effect to render didn't. Obviously that was not as you
intended it to be used!
R2. is a full bar rest in 3/4 time (a dotted 2/4 rest that is). For
4/4 you just use R1, and multiply with the number of bars, like in
R1*8 for 8 bars.
There's still a problem though -- look at this example
#(define (whiteunder grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob
(markup #:vcenter #:whiteout #:pad-x 1 (ly:grob-property grob 'text
inlineMMRN = {
\once \override Score.MultiMeasureRest #'layer = #-2
\once \override Score.MultiMeasureRestNumber #'layer = #-1
\once \override Score.MultiMeasureRestNumber #'Y-offset = #0
\once \override Score.MultiMeasureRestNumber #'stencil = #whiteunder
}
solos = {
\override Score.MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #20
\bar |:
\inlineMMRN R1*4
\inlineMMRN R1*4
\bar :|
}
{
\new ChordNames \chordmode {
s1
a1*4:m7
b:m7-5
}
\new Staff {
\time 4/4
s1
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-alphabet
\set Score.skipBars = ##t
\override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = 1
\solos
}
}
How can we center the chord symbols above the inlineMMR's?
Also: Does anybody know how to produce the `fat bracketed' repeat bars
often used in jazz (example in the Real Book exerpt attached to Tim's
first mail in this thread)?
Jakob.

Re: How to do jazz-style bar repeats
Tim McNamara wrote: I am not sure how to actually use this in a file. The multimeasure.ly has four sections; the first two are needed to define inlineMMRN, the last two give an example of using \inlineMMRN. The example I used is a rough skeleton of Blessed Relief, whose last part corresponds to your bar-repeats.pdf. So multimeasure.ly is a standalone snippet producing a pdf with 44 bars of spacer rests (up to rehearsal mark [E]) followed by 24 bars of inlineMMRN usage (held in the solos variable). All those 68 bars showed up at the top of your own pdf. You don't need these example sections in your file, just the first two: whiteunder and inlineMMRN. So either paste in just these two or comment out the last two. Then you have to apply inlineMMRN at each place you want it to be active. You ask for a multi-measure rest (big R) and let \inlineMMRN move its count down into the staff. So for 6 bars of 4/4 time you need R1*6 - like this \inlineMMRN R1*6 And for decent horizontal proportions you need to modify #'minimum-length.

Re: [OT] Vivi, the Virtual Violinist, plays LilyPond music

Such recordings (I only need 12 milliseconds of a tap noise!) _are_ available online, but I haven't yet found a recording which stated that it was available under the GPL. And since sound recordings are covered by copyright, I can't just take an existing one. :( Does this mean that Artifastring is already able to simulate violing sounds so perfectly that everything is a matter of teaching it how to do so? Artifastring is a very imperfect simulation of a violin. You can think about this as having two stages: 1. the actions of the four strings, and 2. the actions of the body (the big empty part of the instrument). The way that it simulates the effect of a violin body (or cello body) is by using a mathematical operation called convolution. This convolution is done by multiplying the sum of the output samples of the strings with literally an audio recording of tapping a violin. In engineering terms, this is an approximation of the impulse response. Because of this, switching to a different violin sound is purely a matter of switching the tap recording. I don't have much experience with violin, but judging by the audio samples i thought that it could use some improvement (independently of Vivi's playing skill improvement). Yes and no. The actions of the strings are imperfect, but the violin used for the impulse response really is a bad instrument. The £100 pounds figure actually included the bow, case, and shipping. Also, generating an impulse response by tapping the instrument is not a perfect impulse response. It's a decent approximation, but serious acoustics researchers would use a frequency sweep or something like that instead. But I'm not a serious acoustics researcher -- my goal is to advance the art of automatic music performance. There's enough work that I can do on performing chords, vibrato, and the like, such that I'm not hugely concerned with the instrument quality at the moment. And the methods for training Vivi are completely general; if/when the violin sounds change (or even changes to a cello or viola), all I need to do is spend 2-3 hours teaching her how to play that instrument, by classifying audio! In other words, there's no programming involved in this training; I'm just acting like a parent of a music student. Of course, I'm hoping that when I present this at a conference, somebody from the audience will say wow, that's nice work, but it's a pity that your physical model only approximates XYZ. I have code that does this; could we work together? I don't mind putting that code under the GPLv3. So far, the only other open-source bowed-string simulation that I know of is the 1986 Smith algorithm, implemented in the Synthesis Toolkit in C++. Most of the algorithms in Artifastring have been improved in the 2000s, but it's still much better than the version in STK. (the big open-source audio programs like Csound, Chuck, and supercollider, all use STK for physical modeling, which means the 25-year-old string algorithm) Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: How to do jazz-style bar repeats
If chop marks are the desired output, there's another way of doing it as described in the LilyPond Snippetsdocument. Just do a search on *Rhythmic slashes*. It the rs function overrides a quarter note rest for quarter note marks. You can replace the r4 with an appropriate rest for other durations.
