Space after barline before first chord notes
In my large score, at one point there is a very large gap between a span
bar/barline and the chords in the bar, which have lots of accidentals
(dodecaphonic style). I would prefer to be able to move the chords left
closer to the barline. I have made an MWE to illustrate. In the score with
the line break where the bars are spread out, lilypond moves the chords
away from the barline, and in my original context, far too much, much more
than here. In the score with no break, the positioning is fine.
I have experimented with space-alist values to no avail. Pointers to how to
control this spacing issue would be most appreciated.

The problem is that PNG is a raster format so if you're using them for a variety of things like "lessons, tests and theory overviews", you might keep running into this problem. For web pages, fine, but I would use PDFs if you can, as they can be rescaled as much as you like without becoming blurred.

It signifies problem in the calculation of beam slope. I get it all the
time with kneed beams, even when the printed result is perfectly
satisfactory.
If it isn’t, something like
{ 8-\offset positions #'(10 . -10) [ 8] }
might help.
And in case the warning is the only problem: insert this at top level
#(ly:expect-warning "no viable")
The warning will be suppressed, and you’ll get a warning if there is no
warning anymore to be suppressed.

The above compiles satisfactorily.
However, for some unknown reason, that bar throws out a warning when
the whole file from which it is taken is compiled. I get:
warning: no viable initial configuration found: may not find good beam
slope
r4
b,16 fis b \change Staff = RH dis' \change Staff = LH
Also the beam of the offending group of notes is printed above the
lower-staff notes and below the upper-staff note, rather than below all
4 notes as it is in the above extract with the bar taken in isolation.
Presumably something that has gone earlier in the score has somehow
upset things, although I cannot imagine what it could be.
Before I start taking the file apart to find out what earlier feature
is causing the problem, could somebody explain to me what the warning
actually means, and what I would need to do to stop it appearing?

Looked a bit more into it…. and found that there is an easier way than tweaking
the papersize (which does generate a bunch of intermediate files alongside the
PNG that you’re after…. but at least it gives you a cleanly trimmed png):
Just include
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly”
at the top of your lilypond file. So e.g.
=
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
\relative c'' {
c2 d='4 d
e2 f
}
===
It yields a png trimmed to exactly the music that was present in your file

Hans

The procedure for getting a PNG would be: - Open the Terminal app - cd to the folder that contains your Lilypond file (assuming you filed it somewhere inside Documents it would be done using cd ~/Documents/your/deeper/folders - from there start the lilypond executable with the proper commandline options: /Applications/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond -fpng yourLIlypondFile.ly In order to get such small snippets you would also have to optimize the papersize in your snippet (or use post-processing with a graphics application to cut away the superfluous unused paper from the image) If you need help on that part as well I would be happy to help you there as well.

Re: OOoLilyPond
Hi Klaus, Git is cross platform, so unless you want specifically some Windows GUI front ends, it's good to read up in the core git functionality, as it applies universally on any platform. Here is a good free online book: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 Using github and the like - they are just interfaces over core git, and github for example has extensive online help about github specific features. The UNIX man pages for git are clear and helpful, and even include git tutorials, and summary pages of the 20% of commands you use 80% of the time. [They don't put it like that, but you know what I mean.] Andrew On 21 January 2017 at 22:54, Klaus Blum wrote: > > In addition, my knowledge about collaboration with git repositories is > absolutely zero, but I'm always open to learn.

Re: OOoLilyPond
...Done some homework again... ;-)
Here is another take on updating OOoLilyPond.
It contains some more additions:
* font name and font size for editor windows can be specified
* user now can choose between two different ways to import graphic into
document (methods from 0.4.0 and 0.4.1rc1).
and, of course, the additions already contained in rc1:
* fixed: Runtime error - Variable not defined: line 40 CurserPosition=1
* additional include paths can be specified
* added button to save the current code into temporary file and open it
in external editor
* added button to re-import code from temporary file back to editor window
* added support for the use of SVG graphics format (with the known
restrictions)
In the attachment, there is also a readme file with more detailed
information.
I'v done some testing with the attached version, but certainly not in an
exhaustive way... ;-)
If there is (or will be) a collaboration to further develop OOoLilyPond,
I'm gladly willing to join in.
However, I have no idea of the python language, so I could never do a
re-write from scratch on my own.
In addition, my knowledge about collaboration with git repositories is
absolutely zero, but I'm always open to learn. Can anyone recommend a
good introduction for Windows users?
Cheers,
Klaus

On the LilyPond mailing list, there are some considerations to continue the

1.) fixed: Runtime error - Variable not defined: line 40 CurserPosition=1
--
Apparently, a small bug in OOoLilyPond prevented the correct error handling, if
the expected graphics file (produced by LilyPond) could not be found. Instead,
the macro stopped with the mentioned runtime error. This has now been fixed.
Up to LilyPond 2.18, both an EPS file and a PNG file were present if LilyPond
had been executed in PNG format. In LilyPond 2.19, this seems to have changed,
only a PNG file is produced.
Unfortunatly, OOoLilyPond always checked for the presence of an EPS file and
stopped if there was none.
This now has been changed as well: Whatever format is chosen (EPS, PNG or SVG),
OOoLilyPond checks if the corresponding graphics file is present.
2.) Additional include paths can be specified
--
In the configuration dialog, there is a text field where you can specify
statements for additional include paths. Its entire contents is literally
passed to LilyPond as a parameter.
It can simply be left empty, or it can contain one or multiple include path
definitions (i.e. the -I parameter) as described here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#basic-command-line-options-for-lilypond
for example:
-I"C:/Users/Klaus/" -I"C:/Program Files (x86)/"
(Even in Windows, LilyPond expects the paths given with forward slashes instead
of backward slashes. OOoLilyPond will adapt the path statements, if necessary.)
3.) Save the current code into temporary file / re-import code from temporary
file
-
Working in the small editor window can be somewhat cumbersome.
However, it only contains the portion of the code between the
%{OOoLilyPondCode%} and %{OOoLilyPondEnd%} tags.
Copying its contents into an external editor like Frescobaldi is possible, but
compiling will not always lead to sensible results, because ever
