You also could check out the Frescobaldi sources on GitHub. There should be

There is a command in Denemo to do this, but import from LilyPond into
Denemo is still in a very primitive state, so this is not of interest if

 Yes.

  I have them, because I need them to upload the website.  However, I
  honestly don't think it's a case of just asking someone and admin
  being given.  As others have said, what about the load on the
  server?  Will there be any other effect.  I'd suggest trying to
  involve GP before assuming this will automatically happen.

 If the blog posts are being written in texinfo, then these posts
 would just be news items.  Nothing strange.  Write a doc patch,
 test with make website, git-cl, review, etc.  Or we could even
 skip the review and push straight to staging as long as you test
 with make doc first.


I think part of the motivation behind this blog idea is that there could be
a more informal, more frequently-updated source of Lilypond
updates/sightings/tidbits (as opposed to the official project news channel,
which is for important news about the project itself). Hence the initial
jump to a familiar blogging platform, with a user-friendly web interface
that a variety of contributors can use.

Writing posts in texinfo and running 'make' commands is a pretty high
barrier of entry for contributors who aren't already developers.

  -steve



Hi Steve,

Yes, it would have been ideal, but \bookpart causes a page break (unless 
there is a way to disactivate it) so scores end up on different pages.


You would have thought that paper parameters (width, height, margins, etc) 
would be defined in the \paper block and score specific parameters defined 
in the \layout block. Alas, some score layout parameters are defined \paper 
and others in \layout.

Hi Eluze,

VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing controls the spacing between 
two or more staffs of a system, not the spacing between systems.


I need to control spacing between systems, usually done with 
system-system-spacing in the \paper block. But I have (and want) more than 
one score per page and I can't find a way to control their system-system 
spacing independently.


ie.

\markup{}
\score{}

\markup{}
\score{} % make system-system-spacing larger than the first score.

Re: moving LilyPond blog to our website

Hi Janek, all,

this blog is a very good idea! I will follow it regularly. I also like
your approach: Just do it, now. The discussion coming up here is quite
expected, I would say, and it is also what prevented such a blog to be
created before.

If there is a chance to integrate it in the LP website, that would be
nice. But if it was my time and energy, I would skip the discussion,
keep the enthusiasm and go for an independent setup - with a link or
some forward mechanism from the main website, if possible. (Just one
more opinion in this thread.)

The possibility to comment is nice. This blog was a missing part in the
LP world, imho. Once I can find some more time, I would like to write an
article. But unfortunately not this summer.

Btw, there seems to be a syntax highlighter for wordpress:

Path to LilyPond 2.18

2013-06-05 Thread David Kastrup

Hi folks,

since the call for stabilization/freeze more or less in April, there has
been quite a bit of work on finding and dealing with regressions.

The amount that have cropped up there is really sobering.  In particular
with regard to circular dependencies, it looks like a whack-a-mole game
where any change is followed by a series of badly understood regressions
and repair attempts.  That makes me less than confident that LilyPond's
architecture is developing in a manner that is suitable for scaling with
further growth of LilyPond's capabilities.  At any rate, this is the
architecture that is going into 2.18.

Another area of stabilization has been finding settings for the new
possibilities introduced in the 2.17 cycle, most of all the skyline work
from Mike, that are somewhat suitable for a stable release, creating
reasonably convincing output for untweaked input.

This appears to have led to reasonably well-looking results.

The stabilizing process has taken longer than anticipated (as always),
and there are still regressions getting discovered that are not suitable
for a stable release.  My own spacing work on issue 3330 (the last
larger piece I committed, to 2.17.19) cannot exactly be categorized as
fully compatible with the idea of a freeze.  It did address several
issues and implements predictable semantics, so most of its effects have
a good chance of persisting for a long time, maybe more so than a
snapshot of the less consistent previous collection of behaviors.

While I was quick to suspect this chunk of code for every spacing
regression reported afterwards, it turned out that older changes were
responsible.  There is still some cleanup pending to account for some of
its effects, but that seems reasonably straightforward to do.

Keith has done quite a job hunting through past issue reports,
reevaluating and classifying some, and not least of all concocting fixes
for a fair number of them.  Trevor has done quite a bit of documentation
work together with several others.

We still have several regressions without a clear fix, and the overall
flavor is not really one of finality.  But we are in a state where
substantial or gamechanging improvements are not going to finish in a
reasonably short time scale.

So for better or worse, we need to start wrapping up what we are going
to call our next stable release.

I propose calling the next developer release 2.17.95 to send out the
message that finish-up work is called for: those translators who don't
have the resources for following all changes during a development cycle
_now_ really should try catching up.  We need to get the latest
regressions under wraps, and we need to get users trying and reporting
their experiences with the current version in order to get the rough
edges out and have a chance, where called for, to better tune the
default settings for new knobs to production-ready settings.

   Hi,
  
   If I have two or more scores on the same page, how can I setup
   different system-system spacing for each?
  
   I've searched the documentation on this one without any success.
   System-system spacing commands can be placed in a \paper block,
   but \paper doesn't work inside a \score block and is global.
  
   \paper{}
   \score{}
   \paper{}

Sounds GTM.  I shall not make any further changes to the documentation

I believe we need to get fixes for 3363 and 3386 into the code base before 
cutting a release candidate.  I think 3386 is a simple revert, but don't 
have time to do it right now.


I'd prefer to declare 2.17.next_increment as a release candidate; let that 
stand and if it's OK, cut 17.95 as a final RC, then run 2.18.0.

In my book, a release candidate is something fit for a release.
Exactly because we need to get people working towards that goal, I was
proposing to release 2.17.95 as a wakeup call.  There are still numbers
between 2.17.95 and 2.18.0.  Just not many.

Well, in emacs the first release candidate has .95, and I think this
is a good decision.  And I vote against a `final' RC; this makes too
much pressure.  We should release as much release candidates as
necessary.

Re: Revised 'plain text' essay

Hi,

Hi all,

it took quite some more time than hoped, but now I've completely 
rewritten my 'plain text' essay that I had posted for review some time 
ago.
My revision is based upon your feedback, the preparation of a concrete 
presentation for fellow musicologists, and the feedback from that 
occasion.


I think it is much better now, having dumped a certain kind of 
schoolbook-like systematic development. It is now organized for the 
perspective of the potential user group, and as far as I can tell it 
is considerably more concise. Oddly enough it isn't shorter at all, 
just the contrary ...


There still are a few TODO-markers in it, but I'd like to present it 
already for any feedback you can afford (so I can incorporate it 
_before_ having closed the document ...).


Apart from your general opinion (and maybe some of the red TODOs) I'm 
specifically interested in a few topics:


- The unwritten last section should provide links to reference 
material giving more in-depth but still gentle introductions to the 
discussed topics. I'd be happy about any suggestions.
- There is a layout problem with the two-column examples starting on 
p.20 which I didn't solve so far.
- Maybe it would make sense to consider this paper as the first 
chapter of a more in-depth document that really introduces to the 
different aspects of our business. (As an example a good complement 
would be an essay on 'versioning LilyPond files'). Would you also 
think that makes sense? I would be happy to accept any contributions 
of complete chapters/parts.


Maybe it makes sense to somewhat reduce the traffic on this list.
So if you have comments that aren't really of general interest, such 
as specific errors, linguistic suggestions etc. feel free to mail me 
privately, open issues at 
https://github.com/openlilylib/tutorials/issues or fork the repository 
and send me pull requests
(The document is located at 
https://github.com/openlilylib/tutorials/tree/master/uLiska/plaintext, 
but be aware that there are some dependencies for compiling the 
document that aren't documented yet, specifically you have to have the 
'musicexamples', 'lilyglyphs' and 'base' stuff which you can get at 
the same place)

Inconsistent ties ?

2013-06-05 Thread steve

I have a  problem with 2 similar ties that are treated differently. Here
is a simplified example.


\version 2.16.2

\score {
\new Staff {
\relative c'' {
\time 3/4
\clef G_8
\key g \major
\stemDown g8 [ fis ] e [ d ] ~ d [ e ]   |   e [ d ] c [ b ] ~ b [
c ]   |
}
}
}

   The  tied d in the first bar is quite different than the tied b
in the second.
The d is joined from the top of the head. The b is joined differently.
The bars
are identical except one is a minor third lower. Both slurred notes are on
lines
and have identical beaming, stem direction.. etc.. shouldn't the ties be
identical also?

 Hi Janek, all,

 this blog is a very good idea! I will follow it regularly. I also like
 your approach: Just do it, now. The discussion coming up here is quite
 expected, I would say, and it is also what prevented such a blog to be
 created before.

thanks, that's very encourageing!

 If there is a chance to integrate it in the LP website, that would be
 nice. But if it was my time and energy, I would skip the discussion,
 keep the enthusiasm and go for an independent setup - with a link or
 some forward mechanism from the main website, if possible. (Just one
 more opinion in this thread.)

It seems there may be an easy way to handle this.  I'll write about it
in another email, to keep things separate.

 The possibility to comment is nice. This blog was a missing part in the
 LP world, imho. Once I can find some more time, I would like to write an
 article. But unfortunately not this summer.

Great!  Of course, you're invited to write short, informal posts as
well if you'd like (for example, your cheat sheet is a very good topic
for a blog post, short or long).

 Btw, there seems to be a syntax highlighter for wordpress:
 http://speckyboy.com/2009/02/19/12-wordpress-plugins-to-display-and-highlight-code-within-your-blog/

i'll try to check it in a free moment.  The plugin i tried had support
for highlightning several languages but not lilypond, and i didn't see
an option to add custom rules.

Re:completion_heads_engraver within a bar

2013-06-05 Thread Jim Tisdall

Many thanks for the help with completion_heads_engraver.

I've got a related question about completion_rest_engraver

In this example, I'm trying to split the rhythms in bars of 4/4
time, so that note values that span the beginning of the third
beat, are rewritten with ties.  (The idea is that it's easier to
read rhythms in 2-beat chunks with ties between them.)

But I'm trying to do a similar thing with rests.
I'd like to have the rests that span the 3rd downbeat, to be split
into two rests, the second one starting at the 3rd downbeat.

Either I'm using the wrong syntax for \with, or the
Completion_rest_engraver just doesn't do what I would desire, or ??

This example score is 4/4 time and I'm asking for adjustments
every 2 beats (with 1/2).  The rests in the 2nd and 3rd bars
span the 3rd downbeat: I'd like to get a quarter rest followed
by an eighth rest, and an eighth rest followed by a quarter rest,
respectively, in those bars.

Peace,
Jim

Well, I can sympathise with your frustration, but that's not exactly 
accurate. Proper Linux distros such as Debian have very sophisticated 
package management via apt that handle all required dependencies and are 
at a high stage of maturity. The issue here is that although Mac's are 
great - I am typing on my dear macbookpro 17 inch, and although they are 
built on a derivative of BSD UNIX, they lack the package management 
capabilities of most Linux systems, as they are not conceived of by 
Apple as full UNIX systems for end users.  I have not had any success 
getting frescobaldi to install using the mac built-in version of python 
and so on. It appears the only way to make this all work is to use the 
macports system, as mentioned earlier in this thread. Apart from 
providing the right versions of the software you require, it does indeed 
have a dependency system for pretty much all of the items.

Despite installing Python, QT4, a bunch of dependencies that don't even make 
sense, and every other doggone item on the list of things to install and

I mentioned earlier in this thread that my experience was that the

After installing py27-sip, you will be able to proceed I reckon.

It also doesn't help if you have been a long-time Fink user who briefly tried 
to set up Frescobaldi using HomeBrew. Starting anew with MacPorts reveals all 
sorts of flotsam and jetsam to interfere with a normal Frescobaldi 
installation. My /usr/local file is one big mess! Though Python 2.7 was

 Well, I can sympathise with your frustration, but that's not exactly 
 accurate. Proper Linux distros such as Debian have very sophisticated package 
 management via apt that handle all required dependencies and are at a high 
 stage of maturity. The issue here is that although Mac's are great - I am 
 typing on my dear macbookpro 17 inch, and although they are built on a 
 derivative of BSD UNIX, they lack the package management capabilities of most 
 Linux systems, as they are not conceived of by Apple as full UNIX systems for 
 end users.  I have not had any success getting frescobaldi to install using 
 the mac built-in version of python and so on. It appears the only way to make 
 this all work is to use the macports system, as mentioned earlier in this 
 thread. Apart from providing the right versions of the software you require, 
 it does indeed have a dependency system for pretty much all of the items.

Yes, I did not mention that I have installed everything I can for this via 
MacPorts.  Only Frescobaldi and python-poppler-qt4-0.16.3 are not installed 
that way because they are not available through MacPorts.  I have followed the 
incantations step by step.  Perhaps I need to sacrifice a goat or something.  
Trying to compile python-poppler-qt4-0.16.3 (and all previous versions I tried) 
fails.  As you can see from the messages the Mac tries to use the /Library 
version and not the /opt version of Python, because of course the compiler 
installed by Apple is going to look in /Library and not in /opt...

 Despite installing Python, QT4, a bunch of dependencies that don't even make 
 sense, and every other doggone item on the list of things to install and 
 configure, Frescobaldi still cannot connect to Poppler so that I can 
 conveniently see the rendered PDF file.  The crux of the matter finally 
 seems to be the unholy alliance that is SIP:
 
 [tim ~/Desktop/Downloads/python-poppler-qt4-0.16.3]$ python setup.py build
 running build
 running build_ext
 building 'popplerqt4' extension
 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/sip -I

 /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/share/sip/PyQt4 -x

 poppler-qt4.sip

 be specified using the 'version' argument
 sip: Unable to find file QtCore/QtCoremod.sip
 error: command '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/sip' 
 failed with exit status 1
 
 I mentioned earlier in this thread that my experience was that the 
 instructions are missing the installation of sip. I had to use macports to 
 install sip. I believe this needs to be added to the set of steps. After 
 installing py27-sip, you will be able to proceed I reckon.

Unfortunately not.   I had already installed this using MacPorts.  :-(

If I had the skills I would build a Mac installer package for Frescobaldi, but 
I dunno how.

Re: Frecobaldi 2 Mac OS X install guide

Hello,

While reading your error message, it seems that the python version used is
the one included in OS X (/Library/Frameworks...), not the one installed by
macports (/opt/local...)

To be sure that the problem lies there, here are a few steps:

sudo port select --set python python27

Another way to force the command to use the macport installed python
version, is to run python with its full path. You should then have:

/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
setup.py build

sudo
/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
setup.py install

Philippe
