platform specific variables

[Urs Liska]

Hi all,

I'd be glad if Windows and Mac users could send me the output of the
following code:

testVariables =
#(define-scheme-function ()()
  (display PLATFORM)(newline)
  (display DOS)(newline)
  ; you may comment out the following if you don't want to
  ; show your working directory
  (display (ly-getcwd))(newline)
  (display (is-absolute? "/home/something"))(newline)
  (display (is-absolute? "C:\\Documents"))(newline)
  )

\testVariables


Thanks
Urs

This looks strange to me, I have the impression it's wrong.

Could you please run this again?

#(display (ly-getcwd))
#(newline)
#(display (is-absolute? (ly-getcwd)))

Thanks

That's great news! For the application to Denemo taglines and footnotes
are not wanted anyway as it is for creating a score to play from
on-screen.
 I guess it will be some time before this code gets into a release?

What is the largest size possible? I tried playing around with some
sizes, and some didn't work ...

A crude version of this is what will be in the impending Denemo release
- Denemo creates the SVG output and counts the pages and then re-runs
LilyPond at a larger page size.

Well, only as of version 2.19.28 (before that \once would have been
ignored which would seem inconvenient but no showstopper for this use
case):

commit 314743a9769d8094d23cd45eb307b1485b41cb44
Author: David Kastrup 
Date:   Tue Sep 15 20:50:13 2015 +0200

Issue 4609/4: Move \once action from iterators to listeners

This ends the dependency of the events generated for \once\unset and
\once\set on the current context (bad for recording and replaying events
like with the part combiner and quoted music).  It also implements
\once\revert and makes every \once\override and \once\revert impervious
to any other overrides and reverts that may happen at the same time.

It's also worth noting that if you are planning to use \once \revert, it
generally is a worthwhile idea to use \temporary \override (or
\temporary \omit in this case) before: in case that the value to revert
to is established in the context (or its context definition) itself
(which it isn't here, as opposed to TabStaff), the old value to revert
to will only be available on the context's property stack when having
used a \temporary override.

In 2.19.35 you can use

\once \undo \omit TupletNumber

Re: Top margin

[Sharon Rosner]

After a few hours of experiments (and re-reading the docs) I have arrived at
a solution:

It turns that the header (and footers I guess) is always vertically
positioned according to the top-margin setting. So setting the top-margin
will determine the space between the top edge of the page and the top of the
header.

The position of the top staff relative to the top margin can be set using
the top-system-spacing alist. So in order to have the top line of the top
staff at a constant distance from the edge, the following is needed:

\paper {
  ...
  % distance of top of header from page's top edge
  top-margin = 10\mm
  ...
  % distance of top line of top staff from page's top edge
  top-staff-margin = 24.5\mm

  % set the basic distance of the top staff from the top margin
  % this formula takes into account the above settings, the current staff
size, and adds
  % 2 staff spaces, since the reference position of the staff is its center
line
  top-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #(+ (/ (- top-staff-margin
top-margin) staff-space) 2) 
  top-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = 0
  % set large negative padding in order to ignore the skyline
  top-system-spacing #'padding = -50
  % do not stretch the distance
  top-system-spacing #'stretchability = 0
  ...
}

So, basically with this technique there's only two values that need to be
changed in order to change the actual top margins (header and music) -
top-margin and top-staff-margin.

> Similarly, you should be able to fix the location of the bottom staff by
> setting the stretchability of last-bottom-spacing to zero.  And a similar
> note about the basic-distance of last-bottom-spacing also applies.

Yes, I guess the same could be done for the bottom staff.

Re: Swedish letters in Lilypond lyrics?

Hi!

Thanks for the help! We can conclude that Lilypad does not support UTF-8. I 
opened with Notepad and save as (was ANSI!!) but chose UTF-8 and that 
solved the issue!



I would like the Lillypad to support UTF-8. Would be a good Christmas gift 
next year :-)

Uh, do you actually know what UTF-8 is?  \x00\xE4 would rather be
UTF-16BE.  The UTF-8 byte sequence is "\xc3\xa4" instead which works.
\x00 is not a valid number or character and you use it like a function
call because of failing to quote.  #\000 would be a character, but it
needs to be in octal, so we are talking here about
(list->string '(#\303 #\244))

$ is not a valid method to escape from Scheme into LilyPond but rather
the other way round.

#{ \markup \char ##x00e4 #} does not work since markup commands like
\char are only evaluated at markup interpretation time.

You can use (ly:char->utf8 #x00e4) instead.

Well, the method used in ‘ly/text-replacements.ly’ (in the LilyPond 
source) is as simple as that:


\version "2.19.35"
\paper {
  #(include-special-characters)
  #(add-text-replacements!
'(
   ("&:a;" . "ä")
   ))
}
\markup "&:a;"

Now, I can’t recall any more if the rationale behind this was to use 
pure ASCII input; if you’re not bound to that, then it’s solved.
And David: The character map application gives me ‘\303\244’ as octal 
escape for ‘ä’, and I found that one can use them in C, but not how to 
use them in Guile (1.8). Can one?


Best, Simon

Well, `minimum-length' is a beasty thing ...

Please try the code below. I paste the complete one plus examples,
because it's changed more than only improve some calculations.
`myHairpinMinimumLength' is now an override reading `minimum-length'
from a separate override or taking the default.

\version "2.19.35"

parent."
 (let* ((parent (ly:grob-parent grob axis)))

Nonsense.  You just need to use octal escapes for the actual UTF-8 byte
sequences.  And you'll probably need to revisit that input once
Guile-2.0 actually gets used: I don't think there is an obvious
"portable" way to do it.

Re: Lilypond and Jazz chords

[Robert Schmaus]

Hi Kieren and Ponders,


I’m very detail-oriented, so things that others might consider “little” often 
drive me quite crazy.  =)


Well, "little" is the wrong expression - "not painful enough to invest 
the time" is closer to the truth.




Quite possibly that is easy to fix though


Should be.


Turns out, it isn't that easy to fix, for me anyway. Maybe anyone can 
point me in the right direction ...


I checked the code of my jazz-include files, and this is where the 
chords are being defined:


chJazzMusic = {
  < c ees ges > -\markup \super #"o"
  < c d g >  -\markup \super #"sus2"
  < c f g >  -\markup \super #"sus4"

  % etc
}

chJazz = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chJazzMusic #t))

\layout {
  \context {
\Score
chordNameExceptions = #chJazz
\override ChordName.font-size = #4
\override ChordName.font-name = #"LilyJAZZText"
  }
}

Now, I assumed that I had to do something about the accidentals in that 
\context block, but apparently it's not that easy.


I checked this example from the LSR
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=750
and I think, what I need to do is to set the chordRootNamer in that 
\context block. There even is a chord namer routine in my include file 
which looks like this:


#(define (chordNamer pitch)
(let* ((alt (ly:pitch-alteration pitch)))
(make-line-markup
 (list
  (make-simple-markup
   (vector-ref #("C" "D" "E" "F" "G" "A" "B")
(ly:pitch-notename pitch)))
  (if (= alt 0) ; alteration?
  (markup "") ; ... nope
  (if (= alt FLAT) ; ... otherwise
  (markup #:smaller #:flat ) ; flat
  (markup #:smaller #:sharp ) ; ... or sharp
  )
  )
  )
 )
)
)

That's what I need to change and use but right now, that code is not 
even called.

I think I need to add something like

chordRootNamer = #chordNamer

to the \context block but that doesn't work, it throws this error:

Interpreting music...[8][16]/Applications/Lilypond/v19/LilyPond 
2.19.18.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/scm/chord-ignatzek-names.scm:212:9:

I don't really know what to change here ... can anyone give me directions?

How to include unicode chars in scheme strings

[karl]

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/special-characters#ascii-aliases

say I can do:

\paper {
  #(include-special-characters)

  #(add-text-replacements!
'(("100" . "hundred")
  ("dpi" . "dots per inch")))
}
\markup "A 100 dpi."

Fine, it works.

///

But what if I would like to include some random unicode code point
into that scheme string, like:

  #(add-text-replacements!
'(
  ("100" . "hundred")
  ("dpi" . "dots per inch")
  (":a" . "\u00E4" )
  (":A" . "\u00C4" )
  (":o" . "\u00F6" )
  (":O" . "\u00D6" )
))

then lilypond fails. How should it be done ?

Thank you for accepting my comments about the usability of
\myHairpinMinimumLength in the spirit that was intended.

I can report that both of the new versions produce no errors.

However, I am still having a problem with the following bar:

g8\< g a g fs4\mf\> r\invP |

where invP = \tweak stencil ##f \p

This gives a "decrescendo too small" warning, with the all too familiar
vertical line in place of a hairpin, if myHairpinMinimumLength is set to
a value of less than 3.

Yet in the very next bar:

b,8\mp as\< b cs as--\> b\! r4 |

the diminuendo is unnecessarily long (approximately 5.5 staff spaces
with the variable set to #2), forcing the final two quavers apart.

I note that in the comments you say "nb, this calculation is only an
approximation; should work in most cases, though".  But from the above 2
bars it appears that the printed length of a hairpin can be at least 2.5
staff spaces shorter or longer than the requested length.  This means
that the length of individual hairpins may need to be tweaked - which is
the same problem that we have with the built in Hairpin.minimum-length .

It depends on whether or not this is acceptable with the current known issues.  
(Some other pressing demands mean that I need to take a break from LilyPond 
work for some months, so I won’t have time to further improve upon this any 
time soon.)  In its current state it would already work for many of the more 
obvious use cases – like Denemo’s on-screen score or producing image files 
destined for other documents.

Should I put this up for code review or should we discuss this on the dev list?

I tried setting it to positive infinity, but that gave a programming error when 
there was a tagline.  I traced the error to Stencil::translate, which throws 
the error for any value greater than 1e6.  So I used 1e6 as the temporary 
page-height and everything is working fine.

I think that should work pretty well for your use case.  I considered a similar 
approach before I worked out the current one.

Adjust the bound-padding.

Hope this helps!

On OS X, the editor in the LilyPond application works fine with UTF-8.

Displaying variables and parameter values

[David Sumbler]

Is there a way of displaying the current value of particular variables
and parameters during Lilypond compilation?

Of course, e.g. with
#(format "Variable ‘foo’ currently has the value ~a\n" foo)
where foo is the variable, ~a references the next argument after the 
string and \n outputs a newline.

You should be able to insert this everywhere.

Extent of hairpins

[David Sumbler]

I find that consecutive hairpins (e.g. {c\< d\>}) are too closely spaced
in standard Lilypond output.

Looking at Elaine Gould's wonderful book "Behind Bars", I notice that in
such cases her examples show one hairpin ending at the left-hand edge of
a note and the next beginning at the right-hand edge of the same note,
although she does not appear to say this - or if she does, it is a rare
example of ambiguity in the text.  (She says "good practice is to start
the hairpin on the left-hand edge of the note and to finish in on the
right-hand edge of a note"; looking at her examples, by "the right-hand
edge of a note" in this context she means the left-hand edge of the
following note, which is arguably the end of the duration of the first
note.)

This spacing gives a separation between consecutive hairpins of one
notehead width, centred on the note, which looks just about right to me.
Lilypond's default separation seems to be half of a notehead's width or
slightly less, centred on the note.  How can I alter this to increase
the separation to a full notehead's width?

When hairpins are not consecutive, but stand alone (without starting or
terminating dynamics), Lilypond appears to start a hairpin at the left
edge of the first note and end it at the right-hand edge of the last.
This has always looked wrong to me, and judging from p. 104 of her book,
it does to Elaine Gould too.  How can I change the default so that
hairpins normally stop at the left-hand edge of the final note?

Of course. For example:

var = "three"

#(display var)
#(newline)

#(ly:message var)

varList = #'(one two three)
#(ly:message (format "~a" varList))

#(display varLIst)
#(newline)

Hmm, so basically it can't be done.

But surely this will affect both ends of the hairpin.

In the case of free-standing hairpins I would like to move the end of
the hairpin to align with the left-hand side of the note, but the start
of the hairpin is fine as it is.

In the case of consecutive hairpins, I want to affect the alignment of
the end of the first hairpin and the start of the second; or, if
hairpins were generally aligned in accordance with the preceding
paragraph, it would be simply a question of moving the start of the
second hairpin.

Can the ends not be controlled separately?

Hi,

> But surely this will affect both ends of the hairpin.

You’d think so, wouldn’t you?
But that hasn’t been my experience.
Try it, and let me know how it works.

> Can the ends not be controlled separately?

As I understand it:
#'X-offset will effect where the left-hand side begins
#'bound-padding will effect [only!?] where the right-hand side ends

Cheers,
Kieren.
