Tilde expansion in \include
While writing flatten-ly to recursively flatten nested include files, I notice that lilypond 2.19.25 (at least) does not honour ~ in a path name, and throws a fatal error. The NR says you can say: \include ~/libA/libA.ly” Am I missing something? Setting this has no effect (and why should it?): #(ly:set-option 'relative-includes #t) [I am on Linux where programs can generally figure out tilde expansions.] Andrew ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Brian, It can hardly be censoring. :-) Recently I have posted several messages to this list and they simply do not appear, causing me to think my mailer is defective, only to eventually turn up days later.

Re: Way to flatten nested \include's?
Greetings Javier. Here is a program I wrote for you, flatten-ly to read a lilypond file and output it recursively flattening all the nested includes. It’s a shell script invoking guile. Usage: flatten-ly file Outputs to standard output. Unashamedly Linux. I’ll make it more robust, and add a couple of features, add a lilypond style wrapper and if there is any interest add it to openlilylib perhaps?

It might be helpful to have lilyjazz examples old/new side by side with explicite evidence to the unbeautiful elements? I just got the new version happily to work.

Re: Errors when using TabStaff with stringTunings
Hello Kevin,
welcome back to the Pond :-)
There have been many syntax changes since v2.12, and one of them is the
culprit here, so you’ll want to get a look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/updating-files-with-convert_002dly.
(In case you’re using Frescobaldi: Tools/Update with convert.ly…)
BTW: we use to have the version number right at the beginning of the file.
The attached version works fine.
All the best,
Simon

I'm not sure whether the functionality I'm looking for comes under 'quote' or

This is the soprano cornet part I'm quoting from:

Using 'transposedCueDuring', it appears like this in a tenor horn part:
http://i.imgur.com/06B1kgf.png. The slurs, dynamics etc. are stripped out, but
I want them to be included.
Is there a way to (a) use 'transposedCueDuring' which retains these details
from the original, or (b) use 'quoteDuring' instead, but with reduced note
sizes similar to those from the 'cue' operation?

Re: vertical spacing of rests
selin...@mathstat.dal.ca (Peter Selinger) writes:
this is a true newbie question. I am trying to engrave two polyphonic
voices on a single staff. Since the two voices have all their rests in
common, I only want to typeset each rest once, so I use spacer rests
in the second voice. Still the vertical spacing is such that all the
rests are put near the top of the staff. I would like them to appear
in their normal positions.
From the manual, I know two ways to do this. Solution 1 is to enclose
each rest between \oneVoice and \voiceOne, forcing standard vertical
spacing:
Solution 2 is to specify an explicit vertical position for each rest.
Neither solution is particularly elegant, as they both require every
rest to be marked up individually. Is there a global way to turn off
vertical spacing for rests in a context, i.e., some command whose
effect would be to make notes behave as with \voiceOne and rests
behave as with \oneVoice?
You could try
\version 2.19.22
\new Staff
\new Voice \relative c'' {
\voiceOne
\override Rest.Y-offset = #0
r c r d
}
\new Voice \relative c'' {

Allow LyricText/SpanBar overlapping
Hello,
following 19th century practice, I am using StaffGroup for choir scores.
When there are longer syllables at the end of a measure, they avoid to
overlap with the span bar, which costs horizontal space. I’d prefer this
to be turned off, but how? I might conduct a lengthy and imprecise
search over the manuals, but maybe someone can help out?
TIA, Simon

Indeed. I did manage to miss the Score.quotedCueEventTypes part of the docs before, my error. I'd prefer not to have to list the events in this way, I just want everything included, and listing them sets up the potential for error, in omitting some. As I indicated earlier, I don't know whether 'cue' or 'quote' is the right option from a programmatic point of view. 'Cue' is certainly the colloquial term among musicians for such a part, though!

flatten-ly
Greetings All, The utility to flatten nested includes, vastly improved. The moment I posted the initial draft I realised people keep includes in directories other than the current directory. This takes account of that. Will publish to openlilylib when I make a lilypond wrapper for it similar to convert-ly. It is a shell script using guile, not a binary executable. This version depends on having /usr/bin/guile. Even though it is not wrappered yet, I thought it would be useful to the OP. NAME flatten-ly - flatten lilypond files with nested includes SYNOPSIS flatten-ly [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION Utility to copy lilypond files, flattening nested includes. If no options are given, reads from standard input, writes to standard output. OPTIONS: -i, --input file Specify input file. -o, --output file Specify output file. -I, --include path Search path for included files, a colon separated string. -h, --help Show usage. -v, --version Report version. Andrew flatten-ly Description: Binary data ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Putting flatten-ly into your lilypond installation
If you want to put flatten-ly into your lilypond installation, copy it to the lilypond installation bin directory, and make a symbolic link to the lilypond guile wrapper in your bin directory where the other lilypond tools are. For example: $ cp flatten-ly ~/lilypond/usr/bin $ ln -s ~/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile ~/bin/flatten-ly Then you don’t necessarily need to have guile installed on your system.

Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages
Very amusing!
But what about B, C, D, E, F, G, K (an APL derivative), L (several), R, S, T (a
Scheme dialect) to name a few?
Seriously now, APL had special keyboards with the symbols which were wondrous
to behold. And indeed, J was constructed in recognition of the divine
impracticality of it:
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_%28programming_language%29
To avoid repeating the APL special-character problem, J requires only the basic
ASCII character set, resorting to the use of the dot and colon as
inflections[7] to form short words similar to digraphs. Most such primary
(or primitive) J words serve as mathematical symbols, with the dot or colon
extending the meaning of the basic characters available. Additionally, many
characters which might need to be balanced in other languages (such as [] {}
`` or ) are treated by J as stand-alone words or, when inflected, as
single-character roots of multi-character words.
But in fact, we used to use APL with plain ASCII keyboards – worked just fine.
And to be somewhat less Off Topic, the purpose of our using APL was for early
research and development in computer music and synthesis software at The
University of Melbourne here in Australia. APL class languages are particularly
nicely suited to algorithmic music composition work.
