Oops, I *knew* I should have looked that up before commenting.
But that's not a solution (to the not-really-existing problem) either:

cmd-test$ cat input.ly | lilypond -
»-« wird verarbeitet
Analysieren...
Interpretation der Musik...
Vorverarbeitung der grafischen Elemente...
Ideale Seitenanzahl wird gefunden...
Musik wird auf eine Seite angepasst...
Systeme erstellen...
Layout nach »/tmp/lilypond-yXTVDZ« ausgeben...
Konvertierung nach »-.pdf«...
Deleting `/tmp/lilypond-yXTVDZ'...
Kompilation erfolgreich beendet

Obviously LilyPond will save stdin to a temporary file itself and not
process it in-memory. The resulting file is "-.pdf".

I find that the instructions fail to mention placing

into your .emacs file.  Without that, emacsclient will start a new Emacs
copy.

Would there be a simple way to define a set of include dirs and make
that easily (i.e. with a single command) available on directory level?
The idea is that many users will have a default set of libraries they
usually want to have available. If saving them globally is a nuisance
(could you please elaborate a bit on this?) it would be still annoying
to add a whole set of include paths to any given project directory.

Evince and emacs on Ubuntu

2015-10-12 Thread Andrew Bernard 
Does anybody use evince on Ubuntu 15.04 for the point and click link following 
functionality?

I followed these instructions:

https://github.com/markk/textedit-ly

But clicking a link invokes not one but two copies of emacsclient, and each 
time you click a note two new copies of emacs are started (not how I thought 
emacsclient works). Certainly I have something tangled up.

The command 'tools→open current directory' also opens the temporary

I tend to just use M-x compile RET and specify my command manually.

You can also use M-x add-dir-local-variable RET
in order to customize LilyPond-lilypond-command for one
directory/subdirectory.  There are also file-local variables you can set
at the end of a file using a variable block if you need this setting
just for a single file.

Of course you can also use
M-x customize-variable RET LilyPond-lilypond-command RET
to set this globally, but it would likely be a nuisance.  Doing it
dir-locally is probably the most convenient option.

Arguably a bug in LilyPond: \afterGrace appears to be written in a
manner where using it without a pre-existing Voice context results in
multiple Voice contexts being created and a slur cannot reach from one
to another.  Usually this problem would not be noticed since it is rare
for \afterGrace to be used before a voice exists, and even then this
extra Voice context tends to be rather inconspicuous and does not lead
to visible problems like the unmatched slur.

So you should change the line

 { \afterGrace c2( { b16[ c]) }

to

 \new Voice { \afterGrace c2( { b16[ c]) }

in order to work around this problem.

Unable to produce slur in ossia staff

Hi, my name is Seng and I seem to have run into a problem when using

want a slur to connect the principal note and the second grace note, but 
when I compiled the score, Lilypond gives a warning where it tells me it

I use Graham's "make-dynamic-extra", which has two main advantages :
1. The dynamic only, and not the whole "dynamic + text", is centered
on the note (i.e. like a "normal" dynamic).

A title with a transposing note name

2015-10-12 Thread Richard Shann 
I am trying to make a title (e.g. Sonata in F minor) which will
transpose when the music is transposed. I can do this by using
ChordNames for the name of the note in a markup using \score, thus:

\version "2.19.25"

\header {
  title = \markup {Sonata in\score {
\new ChordNames { f' }
\paper{
#(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman" "Times New Roman""Luxi 
Mono" (/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
\layout{indent=0.0}
} minor}
}

\score {
  \new Voice { \clef treble s1 }
  \layout { }
}

In this I have tried to change the font of the ChordName (which defaults
to sans) by using the syntax at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/fonts#index-font-families_002c-setting
unfortunately the example has the \paper block outside the score block
while my version has it inside and this causes an error.
Can this be done by some variation on the route I have set out on, or do
I have to put up with the sans note name?

man lilypond   for 2.18.2 doesn't give any indication that you can
input through stdin. You have to delve into   info lilypond   which
I tend to forget to do. (linux version)

Not here. The only difference I can see between reading from a file
and from stdin is that stdin reads only 4096 bytes at a time. This is
true even where stdin is connected to the file (ie   lilypond - < file.ly
rather than   cat file.ly | lilypond -   as above) so lilypond knows
the length of the file.

David.

Hi again, thanks to 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2015-10/msg00399.html
I can now close the volta bracket with this undocumented feature,
\allowVoltaHook, thus avoiding inkscape postprocessing.

Be aware, however, that \allowVoltaHook is global and unresettable,
at least at the level of \score. (I don't use \book myself.)

I've also tidied up the code I sent previously, getting rid of the
warning by removing the redundant (volta #f). Staff, \score and \time
are also not required as they only redefine the defaults.
Score.VoltaBracket.shorten-pair might be useful too. I've tried to
indicate that the barlines both *terminate* the alternative part-
measures by shifting the hooks.

(I'm not convinced that part-measures are a good idea, but that's not
my call.)

Cheers,
David.

You can do:

  \set Score.repeatCommands = #`(,`(volta ,(markup #:normal-text

Re: [OT] Printer with or without Postscript

2015-10-12 Thread Andrew Bernard 
Hi Philippe,

It is of virtually zero concern nowadays. Whatever page description language 
your printer uses internally, the printer driver software on your computer will 
convert your file to that language format and print it. The drivers are quite 
sophisticated nowadays. It would be very hard to determine from looking at an 
average printed page with the naked eye whether the printer used Postscript or 
not. Some people claim they can tell, but for music engraving, with a good 
printer, I doubt it.

In the old days a program would produce Postscript output, and send it direct 
to the printer which would render it, having a Postscript interpreter raster 
image processor (RIP) chip built in (the chip being how Adobe made a great deal 
of money). Worked fine. Commercial shops used to have 19 inch racks of RIP’s to 
do colour separations. Now, it is all a lot simpler from the end user point of 
view.

Postscript itself is still highly relevant, PDF is essentially a  Postscript 
description, and lilypond can generate postscript, which is rendered wth 
Ghostscript - a software RIP. Postscript is by no means obsolete. Just don’t go 
concerning yourself too much trawling through printer technical specifications 
to find one that speaks Postscript to print music.

I remember programming Postscript directly to an Apple Laserwriter using a 
serial cable. (Remember serial cables?). Fun. Now you can do the same with 
Ghostscript, and save a lot of paper!

alternate endings without repeats

2015-10-12 Thread Juraj 
Hello,

I want to write alternate endings without to have a repeat. Just two
versions of the last two bars, but the alternative not not as ossia above,
but beside in the same line with volta bracket.


I found the possibility:
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1"))
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2"))
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))

But: instead of 1 and 2 i would like a text.
Tried 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta \markup {text}))
but this doesn't work.

Could anyone give me a hint?

Thank you

Juro

Is anything preventing that fix from being included into openLilyLib? Or
should I go ahead and create a pull request for it?
For now I have updated my local copy of the file and the fix seems to be
working fine.

Re: Emacs lilypond-mode

2015-10-12 Thread Andrew Bernard 
Hi David,

Really helpful advice. Except I need a hint or two.

If I create .dir-locals.el thus:

((LilyPond-mode
  (LilyPond-lilypond-command . "lilypond -I /tmp")))

when running C-c C-l then only the command ‘lilypond’ is run - the 
customisation is ignored. Do you have to customise the elisp definition in 
entirety?

The idea is to just add -I for the include paths for the libraries of code that 
I have created.

Andrew

Re: Evince and emacs on Ubuntu

2015-10-12 Thread Andrew Bernard 
Well I converted my Ubuntu 15.04 to use the latest supported GNOME 3 shell 
instead of Unity. Then as instructed, followed the steps in section 4.1.1 of 
the lilypond usage manual (2.19.28) for GNOME 3 with emacs.

When using evince and clicking a link, I get two new copies of emacs each time, 
even if the emacs server is running (and (server-start) added to init file.)

Any further clues anybody?

Andrew

Re: A title with a transposing note name

2015-10-12 Thread Federico Bruni 
Il giorno lun 12 ott 2015 alle 18:54, Richard Shann 
 ha scritto:

I am trying to make a title (e.g. Sonata in F minor) which will
transpose when the music is transposed. I can do this by using
ChordNames for the name of the note in a markup using \score, thus:

\version "2.19.25"

\header {
  title = \markup {Sonata in\score {
\new ChordNames { f' }
\paper{
#(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree "Times New Roman" "Times New 
Roman""Luxi Mono" (/ staff-height pt 20)))

}
\layout{indent=0.0}
} minor}
}

\score {
  \new Voice { \clef treble s1 }
  \layout { }
}

In this I have tried to change the font of the ChordName (which 
defaults

to sans) by using the syntax at
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/fonts#index-font-families_002c-setting
unfortunately the example has the \paper block outside the score block
while my version has it inside and this causes an error.


In your example the \paper block is inside the \header block. This is 
not correct:

Ahem, a couple of reboots and it all works now. Just one of those things.

Truly beautiful to have working.
