Last time I looked at it, on install under Windows, the .ly extension was associated with the lilypond compiler executable and double-clicking a document icon made the PDF to appear. It was a very long time ago and I remember a .log file appeared, also (say, 2.11.x; Archaeolilypondlogy.). Whatever. I think this has some logic if you have nothing else but lilypond installed. New programs you install could associate with themselves, which has also some logic. -- Francisco Vila.

You can try shifting the position of all the rests with \new TabStaff \with { \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #1 \override Rest #'staff-position = #-1 } The bug report that Phil started is generating activity, including the proposal to let the shorter rests center on a space, rather than on a line. This would be the output you get using version 2.16 with \override Rest #'staff-position = 0 but for the quarter and shorter rests only. With the larger line-spacing in the TabStaff, the lines barely clear the dots on a 16-rest. The bug report is hungry for information about what high-quality engravers of tablature do (because rests in tabalture are so rare). ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thanks. It's not a rival product. Lilypad is just an add-on packaged with LilyPond on some operating systems to get people started. Frescobaldi is a quite fuller IDE for editing and compiling LilyPond files, a bit too large to throw it into our prepackaged stuff (and it has some problems under MacOSX I think). "Our" core product is LilyPond, not Lilypad. Whether it is Lilypad or Frescobaldi or Emacs or whatever else what makes you enjoy working with LilyPond, nobody minds. If you leave programs in control of writing LilyPond files (like Denemo), people consider it so-so. "So-so" is good, very good, very excellent good. And yet it is not: it is but so-so. If you use a program other than LilyPond for the actual typesetting, people bring out the torches. But Frescobaldi? That's good, very good. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Lyrics both above and below the staff with splits?
I'm sorry; I was banging my head against this for so long that I just emailed out of frustration. So that's how you re-use a Lyrics. That works, but is a bit ugly in that you have to create new voices over and over. So I tried re-using a voice using that \context trick: \version "2.16.1" altonotes = \relative c' { fis2\p e | d cis | d cis | b << \new Voice = "altoone" { \voiceOne fis'8( a) b4~ | b a( fis d) | fis1 } { \voiceTwo fis2~ | fis4 e( cis8 b a4) | a1 } >> \oneVoice r4 d\f d4. fis8 | fis1 | r1 | << \context Voice = "altoone" { \voiceOne d8[^\markup { \italic "cresc. poco a poco" } e] fis2.~( | fis2 e4.) } { \voiceTwo r1 | r2 cis8 d e } >> \oneVoice e8~ | e4 } altowords = \lyricmode { cooled my head and warmed my heart doo __ doo __ on this road to -- night. Nev -- er run, } altoonewords = \lyricmode { doo __ doo __ doo __ on Car -- ry on, __ } \score { \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff = "alto" << \new Voice = "alto" << \altonotes >> \lyricsto "alto" \new Lyrics \altowords \lyricsto "altoone" \new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = alto } \altoonewords \set Staff.instrumentName = A >> >> \layout {} } But the words don't show up the second time.

Newbie problems
Just starting to try out Lilypond, and finding a few problems in getting to work at all. The OS is Windows 7, if that makes any difference. 1) Double-clicking on a .ly file gets into Wordpad, and doesn't compile the file. To compile it I have to drag-and-drop the file onto the Lilypond icon on the desktop. This doesn't seem to conform to the documentation. 2) Once it's compiled there's no output, just a log file without errors (see below). # -*-compilation-*- Processing `D:/Peter/Music/Lilypond/Warlock1.ly' Parsing...

Have a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/internals/beam It looks like overriding 'beamed-stem-shorten might help, assuming it's only beamed stems that you'd like to lengthen.
