Sorry to come back very late to this thread.

I just tried 2.19.80, and this version *can* render simplified Chinese 
characters. Yes!

BUT... in 2.19, the handling of landscape orientation has changed.

In my v2.18.2 document, I used:

#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)

... and I got a document that was wider than it is tall, and I could read the 
notation on screen directly. That's what I wanted.

In 2.19.80, without changing the code, I got a document whose paper is in 
portrait orientation, and whose notation was rotated 90 degrees 
counterclockwise. Staff lines read *upward* (???!) on the screen. Which... for 
reading is... shall we say, difficult.

#(set-default-paper-size "a4landscape") gives me the layout I wanted.

I'm not sure if this is intentional. The manual says "If the symbol 'landscape 
is added to the paper size function, pages will be rotated by 90 degrees, and 
wider line widths will be set accordingly." I am seeing that the page 
*contents* were rotated by 90 degrees and line widths were set accordingly, but 
the page dimensions did not rotate. So it isn't accurate to say that the 
**pages** will be rotated.

Try it yourself:

\version "2.19.80"
#(set-default-paper-size "a4" 'landscape)
\relative c' { c4 d e f g a b c }

Is it a bug, or out-of-date documentation?

I'm fairly sure nobody wants the behavior that is currently documented as the 
first option.

You could use something like this to change the font of the dynamics 
too?


<<
  \new Staff {
\relative c'' {
  \dynamicDown
  c8\ff c c c c c c c
}
  }
  \new Staff \with {
*fontSize = #-3 \override StaffSymbol.staff-space = #(magstep -3)*
  } {
\clef bass
c8 c c c c\f c c c

\magnifyStaff for dynamics?

2017-12-20 Thread Mason Hock 

\version "2.19.63"
\score {
  <<
\new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3) }
\relative c' { c c c c }
\new Dynamics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = 
#UP }

{ s\p\< s s s\f}
  >>
}

shrinks the music staff as expected but does not shrink the dynamics staff.

\version "2.19.63"
\score {
  <<
\new Staff \with { \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3) }
\relative c' { c c c c }
\new Dynamics \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-affinity = 
#UP \magnifyStaff #(magstep -3)}

{ s\p\< s s s\f}
  >>
}

gives

In procedure ly:context-property in expression (ly:context-property

Re: single Note swell

There’s several possibilities:
First, LilyPond has the built-in command \espressivo (which is 
technically not a dynamic script, but an articulation):

%%
{ c2\espressivo }
%%

Second, your ‘example’ hints at this strategy:
%%
\context Voice <<
  { c2 }
  { s4\< s\> <>\! }
>>
%%


\context Voice is used to reference an existing voice context. In this 
case, it prevents the <<>> construct from automatically creating two 
voices, since what you want in this case is two simultaneous music 
expressions within one voice.
The empty chord <> takes up no time and thus can be used to terminate 
the hairpin here.



Third, you could use this:
%%
after =
#(define-music-function (t e m) (ly:duration? ly:music? ly:music?)
   #{
 \context Bottom <<
   #m
   { \skip $t <> -\tweak extra-spacing-width #empty-interval $e }
 >>
   #})
{ \after 8. \> \after 4. \! c2\< }
%%%


If you want to use this, it is recommendable to put this music function 
definition in a library file and \include that file in your actual .ly 
document.
This is basically a nicer user interface for the second solution above, 
with easier legible source code:
“After a dotted eighth note duration, insert a \>, and after a dotted 
quarter note duration, insert a \<, on the note c2\<.”


HTH, Simon



It’s up to you which you prefer.

Best,
Simon

Adjust to your liking:

\new RhythmicStaff {
  \override BreathingSign.Y-offset = 3
  c4 c4 c4 c4\breathe |
  c2 c2\breathe |
  c1 |

The first thing to try if you get an example from somewhere is to use it
_unmodified_ and see whether you get it to run.  If not, you won't be
able to adapt it to your purposes.

The code you apparently tried working with certainly had << >> around
it.  Those are not decorations but are an essential part of the input.
