Hi Thomas,

this is cool for playing from screen (if the musician keeps the tempo
exactly). It might be interesting for you to see, what has been done here:

Generation of Notation Videos with Lilypond Tool Chain

[Dr. Thomas Tensi]

Dear all,


for my practising and stage usage I developped a tiny
toolchain based on lilypond.

Starting from a lilypond file an MP4 video is produced
playing the music (or part of) and showing the score (or
part of) with page turning synchronous to the music. As an
additional aid, a (soft) subtitle shows the current measure
number for orientation.

I use this on a tablet on stage for a duo to have the
background tracks for that band synchronous with the score
for the live instruments.  Of course, only one tablet can be
used like that, because there is no video synchronisation
among several tablets out of the box.

The whole process is described in

http://www.tensi.eu/thomas/iPod/notation-video.html

the appetizer demo video with a BWV 639 rendition can be
found at

https://youtu.be/bqiMfUvmpug

The idea originated in 2006, where I made a tool chain based
on avisynth and on Windows.  Now the 2016 tool chain just
uses lilypond, timidity plus soundfont, ffmpeg and python
(for scripting); those tools should be available on almost
any platform.

A weakness of the approach is that the page turning times
for the score are gained by parsing the Postscript output
file of lilypond.  This approach is fragile and might break
when the font set is changed or whenever lilypond changes
its rendering philosophy.

Another disadvantage is that tempo changes must be supplied
in a separate text file, because they cannot easily be
deduced from rendering data.

Nevertheless I think that this approach might be interesting
for other performing musicians.  One can have a "moving"
score on any device capable of playing MP4 videos without
having to resort to a special software (like e.g. a MIDI
sequencer).

Feel free to comment on the approach; I am always willing to
learn.

   Best regards,

  Thomas

Changing Staff Size Without Messing Up Fonts

[kwpaprocki]

Hello, 

I've been having trouble with changing staff size. I've been using this: 

#(set-global-staff-size 30)

to change the staff size. When I do the text and notation fonts change back
to the lilypond defaults. How do I keep this from happening? 

Thanks,
Kris

That's exactly what happens when you call that command. The only way to get
around it is to put it before pretty much everything else, especially prior
to any command that redefines the fonts.

Hyperlink to Metacode

[Konstantin Heuer]

Hi there,


I would like to employ point-and-click on Lilypond-files, 
that are algorithmically generated by means 
of other programming languages.

Is there a way to override the hyperlinks in the pdf-files, 
to make them point to a user defined line and file, 
rather than the actual lilypond-source?

It would be possible to use that text font with LilyPond, but it would not
be easy. You can use Unicode characters in LilyPond, and the special
characters are almost certain to have a Unicode representation.  But it is
not likely to be easy for a novice to do.

There may be somebody on the list who is willing to work through this with
you, but it's not really a LilyPond issue, as LilyPond is not likely to be
modified by the current development team to work with a proprietary font.

So my recommendation is to just stick to the available LilyPond fonts.

Yes, but…
You can use the font in \markup {} environments (including lyrics) by 
directly accessing the glyphs or by entering the Unicode codepoints into 
your source file. However, LilyPond’s actual approach to chord notation 
is quite different: There is a \chordmode {} for input, which tries – 
like most things in LilyPond – to give a semantically appropriate 
rendition of the content, i.e. of the individual constituents of a chord 
symbol. The engraving is then assembled from its elements. This has 
great advantages, e.g. you can easily transpose chords, customise the 
looks or use the same input for both notes and chords.
So the idea of having one character for an entire chord symbol, as you 
wrote, is quite alien to a ‘LilyPondish way of thinking’.

Re: Use jazz fonts in LilyPond?

[Urs Liska]

There is a difference between *notation* and *text* fonts.

Notation fonts are used for, well, notation, that is note heads, clefs,
articulations etc. (However, there are things like e.g. stems or beams
that are not glyhps from fonts but that are drawn directly by LilyPond).
The notation font also includes *some* textual elements, namely numbers
(for time signatures, fingerings or figured bass) and dynamic letters.
The notation font uses an internal mapping that is specific to LilyPond,
so you can only use a number of notation fonts that are specifically
designed for use with LilyPond (there are some exceptions but I wouldn't
mention them now).

Textual elements are printed using standard text fonts. And if you have
a font that provides complete chord symbols as text characters you can
use them as text elements with \markup.
You will find the relevant information below

Extended Helmholtz-Ellis JI PItch Notationn

[Graham Breed]

I now have my Lilypond JI code working with the Extended Helmholtz-Ellis 
Pitch Notation.  This is something I've been putting off for some time 
because it means the function that determines the original accidental 
has to know the original ratio that it refers to.  After the more recent 
discussion here, I decided to use a global list to keep lookups of 
alterations to ratios, and all is well so long as you don't transpose 
anything.


You can get the code from the git repository:

https://bitbucket.org/x31eq/microlily

I have a "don't care" attitude to licensing, which is made explicit in 
the README.  So, if you want to copy any ideas for your code for other 
JI notations, feel free.  The same input code should work for different 
notation systems, as it currently does for different kinds of Sagittal 
and the new Helmholtz-Ellis.

Of course, but the point of using lyp is not support for custom fonts in
various versions of lilypond but rather ease of installation of said fonts.

Using custom fonts, even post 2.19.12, involves more than soliciting a copy
of the font files by email. Any custom font also needs to be copied into the
lilypond fonts directory, which might be located at any of a number of
possible locations, depending on how lilypond itself was installed. And in
addition there's also the associated .ly file with a bunch of glue code,
which you need to copy around. Not terribly hard, but arguably not the best
way to spend an afternoon, for a lilypond newbie.

Whereas installing with lyp is a matter of doing the following:

1.  install lyp   
2. `lyp install lilypond` (if you don't already have lilypond on your
machine)
3. `lyp install lilyjazz`
4. use it.

Re: Best support programs for Lilypond

[Noeck]

Hi Stan,

*Frescobaldi* etc. have been mentioned. It helps a lot and snippets can
ease the workflow.

When I find midi files, I often (60% of the cases) do this to save me
from entering all music again: *midi2ly* + a lot of search for
durations etc. + serious rewriting of anything that is beyond the
content of one voice. For the other 40% it is faster to enter it by hand.

On a meta-level, it might be interesting to use a version control system
for the ly input files:
http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/why-use-version-control-for-engraving-scores/
http://lilypondblog.org/2013/09/write-lilypond-code-for-version-control/
This is perhaps not about speed but reliability and control.

Shrug.  I entered "the conversation", namely the discussion thread, by
providing a fix after an example made it obvious that LilyPond was
deficient according to my expectations.  You entered the conversation by
providing a chastisement after my fix made it obvious that I was
deficient according to your expectations.

It would appear that the attitude with which I entered the conversation
improved the status quo and yours deteriorated it.

It is easy to predict that this will happen in exactly the same manner
the next time you choose to enter a conversation for the sole purpose of
chastising me for not doing enough and/or being nice enough.

Those are not actually grace notes but a cadenza.  You enter it with
\cadenzaOn/\cadenzaOff and have to keep your timing manually (including

measure of arbitrary length, \bar "" for possible line breaks, count 
notes and use spacer rests (s16*34 for 34 16ths) in left hand for alignment.

If we can avoid the confusion by other means at reasonable cost
(explaining ##f every time it is used would not be reasonable), nothing
wrong with redundancy.

However, all suggestions take effort of various kinds to implement.  The
more work someone hoping to see a change invests into outlining this
change (with the optimum being a submitted patch), the better is
the probability that it will be picked up and implemented according to
his plan.

Finding all occurences and proposing exact text replacements would
already be a big help since that "only" requires use of editor and other
tools for a developer rather than his own creativity.

The more vague a proposal is, the less probable it is that someone will
actually act on it.  Of course, the more work one invests, the more
frustrating it might be when _still_ nobody acts on it.  While there are
no guarantees, I continue being impressed at the amount of developers
who actually do pick up documentation suggestions and create patches for
them.

We've been through this in public and private often enough.  I prefer at
least leaving a record when there is no reasonable hope for improvement.

Private conversations do not lead to bugs actually getting fixed or
other list readers benefitting from them.  However helpful you may prove
in off-list communication, it does not entitle you to piss all over me
in public for actually fixing the bug.

I don't know how often we need to have this conversation.  It isn't your
responsibility to manage my communications or my work.

I have been cursed with a lot of talents.  I am _not_ responsible for
doing everybody's work just because "it should be easy for me", and I am
sick to death of the leeches who think they are entitled to have
everything done for them by people who have the misfortune to be more
gifted (where "more gifted" may just be the result of actually giving a
damn) in some real or purely imaginary respect.

I really don't need this "this snotty little bugger may know how to fix
a bug but he needs me to show him his place" attitude in particular.
This is a thankless enough job as it stands.

I don't need lectures about how to graduate in Saint School since I have
not enrolled in the first place.

It indeed should be able, but MusicXML isn't well adapted to the task:
note durations are indicated in multiple ways and there is a timer that
can move backwards to indicate notes that are to be sounded at the same
time as other notes and the resulting spaghetti can be very difficult to
interpret. The result can be nothing read at all, or (as in the case
with Denemo's import at least) empty staffs to be deleted, redundant
time signatures to be deleted, or worse, time signatures to be guessed
and inserted.

That's good if you can combine a musician's and a typist's skills. If
you can play a MIDI instrument then Denemo lets you leverage that skill,
which you may find more pleasant to exercise.

that's a *very* common response - I can see it myself, though I can't
put my finger on it, even the name Denemo appears unattractive to me.
"Rough-Hewn" someone once said. I think if it were in the hands of a
commercial company or a graphic designer it would get a skin written for
it.

yes, you won't find the very work flow you are looking for (unless, like
me you transcribe 18th c. prints for instruments and figured bass using
a MIDI controller), but it has the most (and most easily) customizable
interface of any program I know.

 "might improve" is scant comfort to someone who has spent hours putting
music into Sibelius, say, only to find that its idea of MusicXML is
unreadable by musicxml2ly. For that reason I have tried to make an
importer for MusicXML in Denemo which always gets the notes, not matter
how much badly written the file. Even so, I have had to hand edit in a
12/8 time signature to the MusicXML output of one of these files to
avoid a ridiculous amount of tidying up. It simply wasn't there.

 By contrast, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the notes,
ornaments, dynamics and so on that you see in Denemo and a bit of
LilyPond syntax that represents it. So, for example if you execute the
Scheme:
(d-Timer 100 "(d-QuickLilyPondPart)")
then every 100 ms Denemo will update the output LilyPond syntax for the
part you are working on, and clicking on Engrave in Frescobaldi will
re-engrave the file that includes it. Not a workflow that I personally
use, but I just tried it out and it works as expected.

Yes, that's about par for the course.  You fix a bug and get three lines
of condescension for it and half a line of "thank you", and I'm sure
that you consider this completely appropriate.

The ratio gets worse when there is nothing to fix to start with.  And

I wouldn't disagree with you there. However, in _my_ interpretation of
the OP, I think MusicXML should be able to copy with transporting just
the note pitches and durations from one's chosen fastest input method
into LilyPond files for the actual typesetting.

Putting this interpretation on the OP, I omitted one of my methods
which is not a supporting _program_, but none the less a great
accelerator. My wife arranges music but is LP-illiterate. However, she
is very proficient at typing LP's pitches and durations, one bar per
line, and the basic lyrics, with very few mistakes, so that's where I
get to start from.

Although Denemo is a GUI it can be set up to let you type in music using
pretty much the same keystrokes as with a text editor typing LilyPond
syntax. So you get the same speed as typing but can see the notes
typeset as you enter them. What is not widely known by the followers of
this list is that Denemo allows you to generate the raw LilyPond music
for each movement and for each part as LilyPond syntax into separate
files using a single keystroke. This means that you can use \include
commands to work with the LilyPond syntax in Frescobaldi for everything
other than the raw music data while keeping a typeset view for the
actual notes, marks etc.

I would be wary of any approach using MusicXML as a conversion format as
it is not a format well-suited to representing music notation. (Not as
unsuitable as MIDI, but still very poor). People have reported simply
being unable to import files due to variations in the interpretation of
the MusicXML "standard".

In any case, ex-users of Sibelius have told me that Denemo is many times
quicker for entering music ... OTOH, another ex user of the very same
program told me that "it is not apparent how to change the pitch of a
note" in Denemo (answer: you press the new note name a,b,c..) so it does
depend on your temperament.

look nice, but I can live with   \relative c { \key c \major
\clef "bass_8"r4 bes, bes'8 e, (e) g, } An alternative might  be:
r4 bes, bes'8 e,4 g, } Thank you!

note stem problem

[BB]

I get the warning that the note stem does not fit ... in german:
Warnung: Notenhals passt nicht in Balken

Please check it for warning in other languages:
\version "2.19.0"
  \relative c {
\key c \major
   \clef "bass_8"
   r4 bes, [bes'8 e,] (e) g, }

Is this a known issue or should be thrown a bug report?

Re: Whiteout box function by Thomas Morley / need help

[Karol Majewski]

Hi Andrew,
 
basically, this function allows to adjust the size of the whiteout box. It is especially useful in handling DynamicText-SpanBar collisions. Read the whole topic here:
 
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Whiteout-box-function-by-Thomas-Morley-need-help-td161262.html
 
As for skylines: in a nutshell, skylines are invisible borders. Setting them to #'() affects the shape of these borders.

In my book, it is expected to work but it fails to meet expectations.
Whether 2.19.38 will be better depends on whether the fix makes it in
before 2.19.38 gets released.  2.19.39 should be a reasonably safe
bet...

Re: Whiteout box function by Thomas Morley / need help

[Andrew Bernard]

HI Karol,

Is there any introductory or tutorial material anywhere about vertical 
skylines, and horizontal? I confess I really have very little comprehension of 
this aspect of ilypond. [My perhaps myopic reading of the NR does not enlighten 
me.]

Why does that setting do the job? What is its function?

Andrew

Thank you very much David.

Just confirming – this usage is not expected to work in versions below 2.19.38?

OK, it seems that \override DynamicLineSpanner.vertical-skylines = #'() does the job.
 

There is an issue with DynamicText placed at the end of hairpin.
 
If DynamicText is placed after the end of hairpin and some extraWhiteout is added to the left of DynamicText then the whole DynamicText is shifted to the right.
 
I want DynamicText to stay centered below note. Any suggestions are appreciated.
 
Here's an example:
 
BEGIN
 
moreWhiteout =#(define-music-function (parser location adds item)(pair? symbol-list-or-music?)  (define more-stencil-whiteout    (lambda (grob)  (let* ((function (assoc-get 'stencil    (reverse (ly:grob-basic-properties grob (stil   (if (and (procedure? function)    (not (eq?

That example is almost correct, apart from the \version line.  It needs
to be at least 2.19.38.

Assuming that this version will already contain the patch

Current branch: issue4785
Tracker issue: 4785 (https://sourceforge.net/p/testlilyissues/issues/4785/)
Rietveld issue: 293730043 (https://codereview.appspot.com/293730043)
Issue description:
  Let TextSpanner inherit any direction set in event  Something like
  c_\startTextSpan should create a TextSpanner below the system.

In other words: this should have worked but didn't.  Without a testable
example in all of the thread, I was not going to bother with checking.
Now that I've been able to check, I've created a fix.

Re: Use jazz fonts in LilyPond?

Try here:  https://github.com/noteflakes/lyp-lilyjazz/


This is the original font by Torsten Hämmerle. Since LilyPond 2.19.12 
it’s possible to use several notation fonts (including LilyJAZZ) without 
having to install lyp or similar things. These fonts could be found on 
fonts.openlilylib.org and are maintained and updated by Abraham Lee (and 
others?). Currently this site is moving but I’ll send the font files to you.

Re: Best support programs for Lilypond

Just wondering how to achieve the best output with supporting programs when
working with Lilypond. I find Frescobaldi a huge leap forward in using
Lilypond. Frescobaldi increases productivity many times.

Are there any other programs I should be using to speed the notation process?


To speed up things some people prefer "more" others prefer "less".

The "less" method: Use a spartanic but superfast texteditor like vim/gvim 
or emacs. Especially experienced editor users, often geeky programmers, 
find this the fastest way


The "more" method: You already experienced the joy of using Frescobaldi.
Denemo is another GUI based program to create Lilypond scores.

Also you can use a GUI score editor like Finale, Sibelius, or, if you like 
many of us prefer free Open Source software, use MuseScore. Then you can 
export as MusicXML, and then import this in Frescobaldi (uses 
musicxml2ly). I find MuseScore easier/faster for composing and arranging 
music, but frescobaldi/lilypond easier/faster to create publishing quality 
good looking scores.
