Not sure if this file represents the latest--it was written when 2.14.2 was
current.  There are just too many versions of this file on my computer--in
retrospect, should have used some kind of version-control.

Anyway, it will handle larger columns of figures.

Hope this is helpful--

\version "2.14.2"


%% A function to create Roman numerals for harmonic analysis.
%%
%% Syntax: \markup \rN { ...list of symbols... }
%%
%% List symbols in this order (as needed): Roman numeral (or note-name),
%% quality, top number of inversion symbol, bottom number, "/" (if secondary
%% function), Roman numeral (or note-name).  Usually, you can skip unnecessary
%% items, though a spacer may be needed in some cases.  Use "" instead of the
%% initial symbol to start with the quality or inversion, for example.
%%
%% Preceding or following a symbol with English alterations (f, s, ff, ss, x, n)
%% will attach accidentals: "fVII" -> flat VII; "svi" -> sharp vi; "Af" -> A-flat;
%% "As" A-sharp
%%
%% Qualities: use "o" for diminished, "h" for half-diminished,
%% "+" for augmented, "f" for flat; other indications are possible such as
%% combinations of "M" and "m" (M, m, MM7, Mm, mm, Mmm9, etc.); add, add6, etc.
%%
%% To scale all numerals: \override  LyricText #'font-size = #2
%% or \override  TextScript #'font-size = #2
%% To scale individual numerals: \markup \override #'(font-size . 2) \rN { ... }

90% for counters and 80% for side bearings. I felt like the letters were
spaced too widely when I kept the side bearings at 90%.

If tried it in LibreOffice, then I'm not surprised at the

font look good in that program. When you put it in a PDF, however, it 
should look a LOT better, especially in a non-body text.


I let LuaLaTeX compile a text document, with microtype support, so 
*that* is not the issue ...
However, I know the document itself wasn't really appropriate for *any* 
condensed font.
Unfortunately I don't have any time to look for a realistic test case

Automatic scaling. I realize this may be heresy, but it works,

I didn't test it on a score yet, only on a document with continuous

Re: Text fonts

[tisimst]

Stan,

As it stands, LilyPond doesn't (yet) associate condensed, extended, 
medium, semi-bold, black, etc. variants with the normal italic, bold, 
and bold-italic variants in the font family. Thus, the condensed 
variants are used with the name "Vollkorn Condensed". If you want to 
use the medium or semi-bold variants, you'll need to reference them 
with their full names.

Abraham

Hi Joram,

Vollkorn is a good font, and I can imagine it works well with LilyPond
(due to its inherent weight).
But the main issue I am looking for is the combination of weights 
and a

condensed variant.

Having a condensed font is a huge benefit when trying to fit more 
music

with lyrics on the page (because with LilyPond's default font lyrics
generally need more horizontal space than the corresponding music.
Minion Pro is extremely good because it also provides a nicely graded
set of weights *onto* the condensed width. With that you can really
fine-tune the appearance of all the different items like lyrics,
barnumbers, textscripts etc. to form a consistent overall appearance
with LilyPond's music. However, I'd still like to have a free
alternative to that one for better usability.

Recently I got a version of Linux Libertine that has been 
"condensed" by
Abraham Lee, unfortunately I didn't have time to really test it so 
far.
But this may actually be a good thing because I find Linux 
Libertine to

be a very nice complement to LilyPond too.

Best
Urs

I note that the full name for Vollkorn Condensed Regular is (according to Font 
Book) “Vollkorn,”  which is the same as the full name for Vollkorn Regular. How 
does the style sheet distinguish between the two versions?

 Hi Joram, 
 
 Vollkorn is a good font, and I can imagine it works well with LilyPond 
 (due to its inherent weight). 
 But the main issue I am looking for is the combination of weights and a 
 condensed variant. 
 
 Having a condensed font is a huge benefit when trying to fit more music 
 with lyrics on the page (because with LilyPond's default font lyrics 
 generally need more horizontal space than the corresponding music. 
 Minion Pro is extremely good because it also provides a nicely graded 
 set of weights *onto* the condensed width. With that you can really 
 fine-tune the appearance of all the different items like lyrics, 
 barnumbers, textscripts etc. to form a consistent overall appearance 
 with LilyPond's music. However, I'd still like to have a free 
 alternative to that one for better usability. 
 
 Recently I got a version of Linux Libertine that has been "condensed" by 
 Abraham Lee, unfortunately I didn't have time to really test it so far. 
 But this may actually be a good thing because I find Linux Libertine to 
 be a very nice complement to LilyPond too. 
 
 Best 
 Urs

Re: would 'gn' for G-natural be useful in \language "english" ?

[Michael Ellis]

Also American, can't see the need for this because LP supports defining
your own pitch names in an include file.

For example, I once made an include file (attached) that supports both
English and Chromatic Fixed Do solfege, i.e. one can enter an E-flat major
scale as either

ef f g af bf c d ef

or

me fa sol le te do re me

or any mixture of the two systems (but that way lies madness.)


Cheers,
Mike

Re:Beginners problem with display in an include file

[Peter Gentry]

 

Thanks Paul. What I have just realised that this is actually from page 18 of 
the snippets.pdf manual. I have been using it for
sometime and forgot its origin.

The trouble is that the Scheme code takes no account of the key signature so 
that a gflat in transposed music can remain even if the
new key key contains fsharp.

I am trying (without much success) to extract the key signature maybe as list 
of sharps or flats that can be used to further modify
the transposed music.

Hey, Abraham, cool!

I think it is definitely something to try out for an alternative 
LilyPond style.
Did you do that? If yes, how is the relation between automated scaling 
and manual decisions?

Re: Ledger Lines in Key Signature?

[Frank Z.]

Hi Pierre,

thanks alot! Yes, I think your version is better because – as far as I
see – the line is attatched to the key signature and not to the Note.

Maybe that should be the default behaviour of Lilypond when placing
accidentals of the key signatures outside the standard staff lines?

Thanks again and best,

Frank

P.S. @ Pierre: Sorry, for double receiving. The first time I send this
mail only to you, but I wanted the suggestion for having ledger lines in
key signatures by default to be sent to all.

Log file error message - file not normalised

[Peter Gentry]

I have after some research discovered the difference between ly:message and 
(display...) and even referred to an include file
include ".\ranges\enharmonic.ly". (as in recent message to lilypond.user)

[Frescobaldi 2.0.16 Lily 2.18.2 OS Vista]

I can provide debug information to the log file but although everything works 
fine the log 
file starts with the error message 

Parsing...
Programming error: file name not normalized: .\ranges\enharmonic.ly
Continuing cross fingers

The file is "included" correctly. Is this just a minor glitch - nothing in the 
manuals for 2.18.2 refers.

Peter Gentry
