midi volume single note

2017-11-12 Thread Gianmaria Lari 
I have a long note that I would like it starts playing \ and it ends
\ (in the midi).

I tried this but without success:

\version "2.19.80"
right = \relative c'' { c1 ~ c1 }
dynamics = { s4\f\> s4 s4 s4
 s4 s4 s4 s4\! \p }

\score {
  \new Staff \with { midiInstrument = "accordion"}
\new Voice <<\right \dynamics>>
  \midi {}
  \layout {}
}


Did I make any error or does exist any escamotage to do it?
Thank you, g.

Strange behaviour

2017-11-12 Thread Don Gingrich 
What I want is to effectively have two voices  in the second bar -- The
first time through fits the d4 r4 r4 e8 e tune and the second uses d4 (
a8) a4 d4 e8 e

I'm copying a sheet that used diminished size notes for the alternate,
so I figured, "OK, use grace notes" But for some reason that I don't
understand, the a4 generates both a small note _and_ a full size one --
the "curlys" around the a4 d4 were my attempt to force my will --  but
Lilypond politely ignored them.

melody = \relative c' {
  \clef treble
  \key d \major
  \time 2/2
  \repeat volta 2 {
    d2 \slurDashed d4 ( d) |
    d4 ( \grace a8 ) \grace{ a4 d4} r4 r4 e8 e
  }
    \bar "|."
 
}


I had tried voices previously, but found the explanations in the
documentation insufficient -- the attempt simply barfed or refused
generate what I expected.

I'm using dashed slurs since it makes more sense if I need to ignore
them in a subsequent verse.


Cheers,


-Don


It would be good to understand how to insert an occasional bar with an
alternate voice -- much vocal music uses a consistent chord progression
and accompaniment -- but varies the melody to fit the lyric.

Different behavior of \partcombine + \change Staff in 2.19

2017-11-12 Thread Shevek 
In order to cleanly manage wind parts sharing staves in an orchestral score,
I have been using a pattern like the following throughout my projects:

\paper {
  indent = 2.5\cm
  short-indent = 1.5\cm
}

global = {
  s1*4
  \break
  s1*4
  \break
  s1*4
}

bsnI = \relative {
  \tag #'score {
\partcombineApart
\oneVoice
\dynamicDown
  }
  R1 |
  \resetRelativeOctave c
  c4 d e f |
  g4 f e d |
  R1 |
  \tag #'score \partcombineUnisono
  \resetRelativeOctave c
  c4 d e f |
  g4 f e d |
}

bsnII = \relative {
  \tag #'score {
\change Staff = "Bsn2"
\oneVoice
  }
  \resetRelativeOctave c
  c4 d e f |
  g4 f e d |
  R1*2 |
  c4 d e f |
  g4 f e d |
}

\score {
  \new StaffGroup \with {
instrumentName = "Bassoon  "
shortInstrumentName = "Bsn.  "
  } <<
\new Staff = "Bsn1" \with {
  instrumentName = \markup\column { "1" "2" }
  shortInstrumentName = \markup\column { "1" "2" }
  \clef bass
} << \global \partcombine \bsnI \bsnII >>
\new Staff = "Bsn2" \with {
  instrumentName = "2"
  shortInstrumentName = "2"
  \clef bass
  \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-empty = ##t
  \override VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
} \global
  >>
  \layout {
\context {
  \StaffGroup
  \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #0
}
\context {
  \Staff
  \override InstrumentName.self-alignment-X = #1
}
  }
}

If you compile this in 2.18, it works beautifully because after the
beginning, no further Staff changes are required — the partcombiner
automatically pulls the second part into the primary staff whenever it is
set to unisono, soloII, or chords mode. In 2.19, however, you'll see that
the unison passage displays on both staves, while still putting "a2" above
the primary staff. This changed behavior breaks a tremendous amount of my
code in a way that isn't easy to cleanly fix. Is this change intended? Is
there a way I can salvage the old behavior?

By the way, if you compile my example code above, you might notice "warning:
cannot find context to switch to," yet the actual output finds a context to
switch to just fine. Is there a way to get rid of this? I get hundreds of
these whenever I compile my projects, and it makes it hard to find genuine
errors.

Thanks.

Actually, it sounds like it might have gotten fixed with

commit 3d54e4a6f45ccfb3847290cd0bdbefe4d21d7924
Author: David Kastrup 
Date:   Sat Feb 27 11:41:08 2016 +0100

Issue 4718/1: In-chord tie in cue causes segfault

This extends transposition functionality from Music expressions to
Prob in general since Stream_event also needs transposition in the
context of quoted music.  While at top level, Stream_event is
processed using the container-agnostic transpose_mutable, this does
not extend to the actual contents, and at least a Stream_event's
articulation list does not consist of Music expressions but again of
Stream_event elements.

A crash.  Not overly interested in tracking this one down, I'll readily

Wouldn't you want any note at line-begin to be visible? So why check
what's the preceding?

For the other stuff you may find some procedures helpful, which David
Nalesnik had coded:

%% Thanks to David Nalesnik
#(define (at-line-end? grob)
   (let* ((col (ly:item-get-column grob))
  (ln (ly:grob-object col 'right-neighbor))
  (col-to-check (if (ly:grob? ln) ln col)))
 (and (eq? #t (ly:grob-property col-to-check 'non-musical))
  (= -1 (ly:item-break-dir col-to-check)

#(define (at-line-beginning? grob)
   (let* ((col (ly:item-get-column grob))
  (ln (ly:grob-object col 'left-neighbor))
  (col-to-check (if (ly:grob? ln) ln col)))
 (and (eq? #t (ly:grob-property col-to-check 'non-musical))
  (= 1 (ly:item-break-dir col-to-check)


{
  \override NoteHead.after-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
  (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'color
(cond ((at-line-end? grob) cyan)
  ((at-line-beginning? grob) red)
  (else '()
  \repeat unfold 150 c'1
}

After you go to “Tools/Special Characters”, you must select “Latin-1 
Supplement”.

If you’re using Frescobaldi, the easiest way is to go to "Tools/Special 
Characters" and double-click on the AE ligature to insert it directly into your 
string:

title = \markup { "Ænigma” }

There are no spacing problems with this.

Re: Increasing spacing between staves

2017-11-12 Thread Michael Rivers 
When I run into this problem, I just print an invisible note somewhere that
forces more space between the staves. I believe I read about that solution
somewhere on this forum years ago.

The problem with imaginary problems is that there is no way to check
