clashing note columns
In a piece I'm doing in LilyPond I have a lot more single-staff polyphony than I've dealt with before. I'm getting loads of: warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns The *output* looks fine. Example: http://notendur.centrum.is/~bobroff/lily/measure.png The 'd' in the half-note chord is tied over from the eighth note and is in the upper voice. If I don't flip the stem direction the stem is up and the note head offset. If I flip the stem it lines up as in the original (shown in the link) but I get the warning. Should I just ignore this and put up with the warnings? It is, of course, more important that the output look good, but I'd also like a 'clean' LilyPond run, too. -David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Just be aware that if you turn on this override (\override NoteColumn
#'ignore-collision = ##t), and are also merging differently headed notes
in different voices, then the heads of merged half notes get filled in.
Without the override they don't:
\version 2.15.14
\relative c' {
\mergeDifferentlyHeadedOn
{ c16 a' b a } \\ { c,2 }
\override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
{ c16 a' b a } \\ { c,2 }

Change in convert-ly with 2.15.14?
I use jEdit with Lilypondtool to edit ly source files. I recently installed LP 2.15.14, and now, when I open an ly file in jEdit and run convert-ly from the Lilypondtool menu or toolbar, I get two error dialogs from jEdit. The first is titled I/O Error and says Each buffer can only execute one I/O operation at a time. Please wait until the current operation finishes before starting another one. Behind that is another dialog titled Files changed on disk, and says Automatically reloaded: , followed by the name of the file. I haven't seen these messages before when running previous versions of convert-ly with the same editing setup, and I have been using jEdit and Lilypondtool for a considerable time without any version upgrade to either. jEdit 4.4.1 and Lilypondtool 2.12.932 on Ubuntu amd64. In the jEdit global options I have it set to automatically reload open files if they are changed on disk, but this is how I have always had it set, and these error messages have only been appearing since installing LP 2.15.14.

When I am typing music with Frescobaldi, I usually type a measure at a time and press CTLR-M immediately, then I continue typing without waiting for LilyPond to finish. Sure, that puts the CPU in heavy load, but only for the period I am transcribing intensively. I have tried different text-to-score music typesetting systems (mup, abcm2ps, pmw, and lilypond). Lilypond has become my first choice because of flexibility and quality of output. But compared to the other ones, speed is not it's strongest point. It is I think the flexibility (=complexity) in combination with the Scheme interpreted language that makes it slow. The competitors I mention are all 100% hardcoded compiled C programs. Lilypond is easier to tweak by the end-user thanks to the Scheme language. The trick musicar...@pop.com.br is asking for is possible with for example EasyABC, using abcm2ps, and it works pretty good for small to medium sized scores. But to end positively: today's fast computers make it already much easier to live with Lilypond's slowness. I think that LilyPond is not especially slow considering what it does: it does not limit itself to stroke your commands on a paper. It performs a beauty contest in search of optimal layouts given a bunch of typesetting rules and restraints. That way you can firstly concentrate on music until you decide that you want this or that forced layout. -- Francisco Vila.

rendering only a part of a score
Dear community, is there any way to render only a part of a score? I know the functions showFirst/LastLength = R1*5and Score.skipTypesetting = ##t ##f but, for example, if i want to do a fine tuning of some objects, the layout ist lost in that range, so I have to render the complete score to see the exact difference. I see the problem, that a little change anywhere can affect the complete layout, page- and system breaking and perhaps there is theoretically no way, but it would be a great help, if all changes, overrides, slur/tie beginnings would be present in that selected range.

You can use the %{.%} construction to comment out an arbitrarily
large section of the score. You can use that in combination with
showFirstLength/showLastLength to only render a few bars in the section
you are working on. I use this exact method when I'm adding fingerings
to an existing complete score. Provided you have %{ on a line by itself,
then when you have finished you just add another percent symbol to the
opening bracket to have it treated as a comment and ignored (i.e. %%{
will be treated as a comment whereas %{ is treated as the start of a
comment block).

Thank you, but I already know about those — in fact, that's how I manually
determined the final output I prefer. Now I want to turn those permissions back

Manually forcing line and page breaks, I found a format I like: 1 page of

5 pages. So I inserted a \pageBreak where I wanted it in the music, and
then used
\paper {
system-count = 19
page-count = 5
}
This did not accomplish what I wanted — in fact, I ended up with 8 pages

Why doesn't this work? Is there anything I can do to get what I want,
short of manually forcing the line and page breaks?
hi Kieren
just another idea - try min-systems-per-page = #3 and/or
max-systems-per-page = 4.
i know in the past they had more effect than other commands (however i don't
remember when that was).

Hi Nick,
thanks, I didn't know, that a second percent cancels the comment block!
There are normaly a lot of variables in my scores so I tried another thing:
changing the range for all staves in one step.
It works not so bad, but the problem is still the same:
a lot of warnings - not all slur/ties are printed correct and the lyrics are
displaced (because of skipped melismata?).
myskip = { \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t s1*12
% start in bar 12
\set Score.skipTypesetting = ##f
s1 *3
% for 3 bars
\set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t }
Then you can put \myskip in any Staff (only in one) with
{\theMusic } { \myskip}% without the \\ between

SooperLooper is an open source audio loop application that runs on Linux or OS-X. The script I posted provides a command line interface that lets you compactly specify an arbitrary sequence of measure lengths and tempos. When launched it provides a visual metronome (prints 1 2 3 ... in rhythm for each measure) and alternates between recording what you play or sing and playing it back to you. Simple-minded but exactly the practice tool I've always wanted. So far I'm very happy with it. Requirements: 1.

Try boiling down your source file to a level where it still triggers the

This creates the error:

Setting first page number to -1 seems to be the problem. In the actual

I don't agree with giving the dash to an invisible note, because of the potential it creates for the dash to be in the middle of nowhere, where the singer might miss it or might read it as a printing error. If evenly spaced between the syllables turns out to mean two staffs of the piano's sixteenth notes later or sixty millimetres away from the nearest word then the meaning is lost. Attach it to the syllable, adding two, three, even six spaces if you want. Or attach it to the following syllable and right-align that syllable, if that works better. But in the context of lyrics, punctuation IMO must attach to the words (even if with the addition of some spaces) or else it will be easily ignored or misinterpreted. Lonely punctuation has a high likelihood of being interpreted as part of a stray dynamic spanner line, a misplaced tenuto or staccato, or as random garbage. -- David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Ming,
If the tuplets are consecutive, then you can use \set tupletSpannerDuration.
See the Notation manual for more information.
Hope this helps,
Kieren.

Re: Vowel with Umlaut
Somewhat late reply - being married (and retired), if we aren't in *my* Dr's office, we're in hers... I don't think the Emacs I recovered was all that problematic - it's 22.3 and I only acquired it in the Spring. But it was the fearful array of ctrl+this and alt+that in the tutorial that persuaded me the learning curve was going to be close to vertical. And Notepad++ seemed to do exactly what I wanted - I might even revisit my earlier perl+php+sql project and take some mangling back out when I'm more confident with NP++... Certainly didn't mean to start a discussion of editors! Tx again to all, rgds, GFStC.

Recovering a Windows Emacs from backup is probably not the best idea since it is under furious development (surprisingly so for a 30 year old piece of software) and a lot of focus is on making it less of a Unix thang. If you want to give it a fair try, you should install a reasonably current version. It won't be easier to understand, but you'll be able to do a lot even without understanding.

Re: Alternative note inserting for guitar tabs
Hi Lilyjoe. As far as I know, to make a tab in Lilypond you have to input note names. You should try TuxGuitar. It allows you to make tabs by specifying string- and fret-numbers (you don't need to know he notes). TuxGuitar can also export a Lilypond file. So: 1) download TuxGuitar, 2) type in your strings / fret numbers to make the tab 3) export it from TuxGuitar to Lilypond format 4) process the resulting .ly file with Lilypond and get a beautifully typeset tab... http://tuxguitar.herac.com.ar/download.html Download TuxGuitar here. Hope this helps! --Dave lilyjoe wrote: I've to write a very basic guitar tab, no need to add tempo and other infos, just number of frets and the way to play notes (hammer on, pull off, bendings, slides and so on). I like lilypond outputs, but I don't know music. It's hard for me to write a tab by insert notes as a b c... I'd like to write by insert notes in the form fret/string, I find it very usefull. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Alternative-note-inserting-for-guitar-tabs-tp32385655p32693743.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Disappearing hyphens (endashes) in lyrics
Hi Peter, Note: With the hidden note(s) the bar-marks came out of synch with the visible notes, so I had to resort to using \cadenceOn in combination with \bar. I'm 99% sure this isn't necessary. Don't forget that you can adjust the effective length of a note (even a hidden one) by using a multiplier (e.g., c4*0 or c4*2/3.). is there any way of specifying the physical width of the hidden not that is aligned with the first en-dash? Override the #'X-extent and/or #'extra-spacing width. Hope this helps! Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Quote only the relevant parts of the mail (using a citation mark like I do here) and reply to each point immediately below. Never cite anything that you are not referring to. In this case, you appended a whole daily or weekly digest without any reason. As a rule, you should _never_, whether you are quoting or not, reply to a digest since a mail reader, when replying, puts referral marks in the headers that other mail readers use for organizing discussion threads. When you reply to a digest, those headers become useless. Anyway, your reply, containing a whole daily digest, will be a part of the next daily digest. Can you imagine what happens if such a digest-quote occurs daily or more often? -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I don't think the Emacs I recovered was all that problematic - it's 22.3 and I only acquired it in the Spring. Then you should change your source. The 22.x series is rather old (22.3 was released in 2008 and is a bug fix release of 22.1 released in 2007) and was before the last large user interface rearrangements. Emacs 23.1 was released in 2009, the current version is 23.3. But it was the fearful array of ctrl+this and alt+that in the tutorial that persuaded me the learning curve was going to be close to vertical. Interesting. So if you had not noticed the tutorial, you might have tried it for longer. What if Notepad++ came with a tutorial explaining most of its keystrokes and concepts? Would that have given Emacs a better chance? Certainly didn't mean to start a discussion of editors! Editors are all doing the same job, like cars.
