Re: Adding metronome click track to MIDI
Robin, Valentin,
thank you both for your help. I have created a solution based on your
examples. I hope you don't mind the copy and paste + tweak exercise,
as I am assuming that you are happy for me to give a CC BY SA 4.0
license to code that is based on the examples you have published in
the mailing list. FWIW, I have credited both of you in the commit
messages. Please let me know if my assumption is correct. Conversely,
if you rather not have this code included in the source of this open
source project, I will remove it and try to find an alternative
solution. [*]
The code that works for me is the following, I will merge it when I
get an "OK go" from both of you:
https://github.com/fpetrogalli/trr/pull/1/files
The `unfold 83` is a bit ugly, but it allows me to obtain what I need
without having to dig into lilypond internals and scheme syntax.
Kind regards,
Francesco
[*] Admittedly, I should have dont this the other way around, first
ask about using your code, and then including it into my project on
github. Hopefully what I have done, although not formally correct, is
in line with the open source spirit of the lilypond community in terms
of sharing snippets and examples.

Re: two lv ties on merged notehead
Hi Michael,
Looks like LilyPond prints both lv ties, but they end up at exactly the
same spot. The ^ and _ prefixes let you specify direction for most
anything, including \laissezVibrer, so you could do this to separate them:
\new Staff {
<<
{
d,4 ^\laissezVibrer ^\markup{ 0.0 }
}
\new Voice {
\voiceTwo d,4 \laissezVibrer
}
>>
}
Hope this helps,
Owen

Also it will not backslash-escape quote marks or newlines or, well,

«write» really is the saner option.

two lv ties on merged notehead
It seems that when a notehead is merged in two voices no matter what you do
you, lilypond only adds on lv tie. Is there a way to force 2 lv ties?

Ouch. That’s pretty brutal. May I ask why you felt the need to use
all these? This alters drastically the layout, and basically amounts
to force your own spacing decisions onto LilyPond’s.
Frankly, I’ve written (and transcribed) very complex piano scores, and
not once have I needed to mess with Lily’s own idea of where the
NoteColumn objects should begin and end; of course \voiceThree and
\voiceFour internally rely on that, but with some fairly sane (and
tame) predefined values. If you need some non-standard alignments,
I’d recommend using the simplest of tricks like invisible rests and
duration multipliers instead:
upperI = \relative {
fis'8 r fis2 fis2.~ fis8 f d2
}
upperII = \relative {
8 r s32 4*15/16(
s4*3/4 c b)~ 2.
}
lowerI = \relative {
\oneVoice 8 r 2
\voiceOne s4*3/4 f a gis s2.
}
lowerII = \relative {
s2. es
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\accidentalStyle PianoStaff.neo-modern
\new Staff = "up" <<
\time 3/4
\new Voice { \voiceOne \upperI }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \upperII }
>>
\new Staff = "dn" <<
\clef bass
\new Voice { \voiceOne \lowerI }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \lowerII }

\layout { \context { \Staff \consists #Merge_rests_engraver } }

Hi Robert,
there are a lot unrelated warnings cluttering the log.
I'd not use pitched rests but normal rests with an override for
staff-position. Also, \voiceXxx
Though, that's unrelated.
The culprit seems to be your
\override NoteColumn.X-offset = #-4
(and some forgotten(?) \once ... )
A minimal would be:
<< { \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #-4 d'2. } { \voiceThree b4 } >>
The negative X-offset will push all other stuff to the left including the dots.
Cheers,
Harm

When I set piano four part I let Lilypond do all the work.
I have taken the liberty of recoding the section using four-part voicing.

Hi Valentin,
Thanks for your interest in my problem
The piece, as you can see in the screenshot, is a piano score with two voices
in each staff and occasionally a third voice by << { } \\ { } >> or
\partcombine.
I triple-checked my source code, first by hiding successively each voice, and
see what happens, and then to comment out and successively reopen all lines, 55
in each voice, in my score. Compared with the original everything is OK except
the passage (only 3 bars) shown in the screenshot. Thereafter, in the last 7
bars of the piece everything is again perfect.
Overall there are several instances where I needed "\once \override NoteColumn
#'force-hshift = #x" , and a few "\once\override NoteColumn.X-offset = #x”.
I use LilyPond 2_19_83-1 with TeXShop as the editor. Usually it works perfectly.
I include the problematic part of the score. It is certainly not a MWE but it
works for me and it shows the problem. It also shows that its origin does not
ly in the previous bars.
Thanks again for your interest.

I don't know why you think I assume that the manual writers are
incompetent - I don't assume any such thing.
I asked why I might be getting the error. And you have kindly answered
my question, even though it appears that I inadvertently irritated you
to some degree.
The fact is that, yes, the score in question was accessed in a \book
section in another file. I was not aware that I couldn't use
showLastLength inside a \book { }.
In the mean time, I got around the problem by using
Score.skipTypesetting instead. I was getting a warning about a hairpin
being too small, with of course no indication of where in the score it
might be - tricky in a 150-page score. I eventually tracked it down.
Thanks for your help.
David

Once you stop assuming that the manual writers are incompetent and/or
realise that almost all examples in the manual are actually run through
LilyPond while producing the manual, it should be obvious that the
principal problem will lie in the particular way you wrote your source,
making it different from what is done in the manual.
That means that it is absolutely essential to include a minimal example
for diagnosis.
Lacking that information, it would be my guess that you have your \score
inside of a \book section, and those don't allow assignments inside.
But since you neither include an example nor even mention \book, this is
a mere guess.

Are you sure there isn’t an unclosed block (which is to say, a missing
closing curly brace) somewhere?
showLastLength and showFirstLength need to be defined at the top
level; if you’re using Frescobaldi, you can try clicking on Tools >

Otherwise, please post some code so that we can help you investigate.

Not that I know.

showLastLength
I have never used 'showLastLength' or 'showFirstLength' until today.
I inserted a line such as
showLastLength = R1*5
exactly as shown in NR3.4.2, immediately before the first (and only)
\score { } section.
But every time I try to compile the file I get:
syntax error, unexpected SYMBOL
showLastLength = R1*5
Why might this be?

Well, it _is_ a list of strings, as you can verify by adding:
#(display (map string? Y))
Or you can use
#(write Y)
instead of (display Y), which will print the double quotes.

Well, you can always do

This is a list of strings. You just need to use "write" instead of "display".

On 6/3/20, Paolo Prete wrote: > Did you succeed (or someone else) in compiling with guile-3, meanwhile ? > If so, did you see some improvement in speed? No, for now guile 2.0 has become nearly as reliable as 1.8 but there remains a noticeable performance drop; building LilyPond with guile 2.2 is possible but triggers some annoying bugs, and with guile 3.0 I don’t think anybody’s even been giving it a try. The only sure thing is that 2.20 will be the last stable version requiring guile 1.8, since that’s been phased out in most GNU/Linux distributions. And, yes, the possibility of using JIT bytecode starting with Guile 2.0 can potentially lead to a speed gain, but not until several additional bugs have been ironed out. That being said, regardless of the Guile situation, there is a lot of ongoing optimization work on LilyPond’s c++ code, logic and computation, which should eventually lead to a speed gain of at least 15 or 20% (I think) on some parts of the processing. The next stable release will certainly be quite interesting. Cheers, -- V.

If so, did you see some improvement in speed? Thanks! Best, P

A weird spacing problem
Dear all, I’m vainly struggling with a weird spacing problem that I’ve never seen before: the dot belonging to, for instance, c’2. is widely separated from the note itself. (See screenshot). In this section the horizontal note spacing is also rather capricious. ( \time 3/4 for the entire piece. No problems until bar 46 - and after bar 49 unti the end (bar 55 ) I’ve no idea what could have caused this. And I’ll be very grateful for any suggestion. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Experimental builds with guile-2 showed a huge slow down, the last time I tried it out, which is admittedly a while back. Though, there is continuous hard work to improve the situation. I should try it out again... The suggestion to focus on guile-3 makes no sense at the moment, because it is not broadly in the distros, afaict. Cheers, Harm
Making Lilypond faster
Hello, after using 2.19.84 for a while, it seems to me that it is quite faster than the previous one (2.19.83). 1) Now I wonder if there are some later versions (or git snapshots) even faster: do you have any feedback about this? 2) Also: is there a way to optimize (when compiling a snapshot) the speed of a release for linux (for example: by choosing a specific version of a dependent library)? 3) What is the status of Guile 3 support? AFAIK, much of the discussed speed depends on it thanks! P

That's great too!
