Different noteheads left/right to the stem

[József Pap]

Hi all,

Is there a way to print different noteheads to the left and right side of
the stem? I have a custom notehead stencil function already, but I can't
seem to obtain the necessary information (i.e. whether the notehead will go
on left/right side of the stem) from the stencil's scope. I can access the
stem grob and read its direction, but it isn't sufficient, since crowded
chords have noteheads on both sides.

Thanks for any tips in advance,
Jozsef

Note that `-dtall-page-formats` will give you one single image with all pages 
concatenated. For separate pages, you want `-dseparate-page-formats`. (The 
basic purpose of that option is to set separate-page output for PDF, but it 
works with PNG as well, although you usually don't use it for PNG since `--png` 
does the same thing.)

RE: PNG output

[jschlomann]

I do want multiple pages, i.e. a separate file for each page. I tried the 
script idea, and it is working great! I have exactly what I need. I will try 
the ‘tall-page-formats’ option when I upgrade to 2.24.

Thank you both!

John

This has been working for me:

#(ly:set-option 'resolution 300)
#(ly:set-option 'tall-page-formats 'png)
{c'}
% -

But you will need Ly 2.23.5 or newer.
If you want to use lilypond-book-preamble.ly for cropped images, use
separate-page-formats instead of tall-page-formats.

Ah yes, that's right. For PNG output, normal output and separate-page output 
are more or less the same (since PNG files don't have multiple pages), so you 
can do that.

With `\override`, you need to put the command before the note, but LilyPond 
also has `\tweak`, which attaches to the event itself, so you can do

```
\version "2.24.1"

startPed =
#(define-music-function (start-text end-text) (markup? markup?)
  #{
\tweak dash-fraction #1.0
\tweak bound-details.left.text #start-text
\tweak bound-details.left.stencil-align-dir-y #CENTER
\tweak font-shape #'upright
\tweak bound-details.right.text #end-text
\tweak bound-details.right.stencil-align-dir-y #CENTER
\startTextSpan
  #})

endPed = \stopTextSpan

\relative c' { f4 _\startPed "F♮" "♭" g fes \endPed }
```

Note that this isn't exactly your wished syntax because the end text is given 
to `\startPed`, not to `\endPed`. There are no built-in ways to override the 
properties of a spanner at a later point than the moment it has been created 
in, so it would require custom Scheme code to make your original syntax work. 
Unless you really want that, I suggest you just use this syntax, which isn't 
more verbose than yours.

HTH,

Jean

Harp Pedal Spanner

[Alexandre Loomis]

Hi,

I'm having trouble defining a harp pedal spanner. I'd like to be able to
write code like

\relative c' { f4 _\startPedal "F♮" g fes \endPedal "♭" }

and get as output the notes, with F♮ below the f natural, ♭ below the f
flat, and a line connecting the markups. So far the closest I've been able
to get is

\relative c' { \startPedal "F♮" \endPedal "♭" f4 _\startTextSpan g fes
\stopTextSpan }

where startPedal and endPedal are defined as

startPed =
#(define-music-function
  (text)
  (markup?)
  #{
\once \override TextSpanner.dash-fraction = #1.0
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = #text
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.stencil-align-dir-y =
#CENTER
\once \override TextSpanner.font-shape = #'upright
  #}
)

endPed =
#(define-music-function
  (text)
  (markup?)
  #{
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.text = #text
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.stencil-align-dir-y =
#CENTER
  #}
)

This produces the correct output, but needing to call all four of startPed,
endPed, startTextSpan, and stopTextSpan is inconveniently verbose.

Thanks,
Alex

RE: PNG file output

[jschlomann]

Yes "unbound error"-- Unbound variable: system*

 

The error I get with (system …) is

Unsupported SCM value for format: #t

 

I will try the script approach. I’m fairly confident I can get it to work. I 
just wondered if there was something simple in Scheme I was missing.

 

Thanks for the help, Jean.

Jean,
I’ve found your response, and I’ve updated my list subscription to my new email.
 
My reason for wanting this is that I need to generate several types of output 
based on some other settings in my input file. For example, I need PDF output 
for print, and PNG output in a couple different resolutions for projection on a 
screen. This is for use in a church.
 
One thought I had was to spawn another LilyPond so that I could specify command 
line options based on the settings in my input file. I haven’t been able to get 
this to work so far, for reasons I don’t understand. I tried this using (system 
"lilypond -fpng file.ly"). I also tried Guile’s system*, but got an unbind 
error. I’m using 2.22.2.

Did you mean “unbound error”? But what is the error precisely?

Perhaps a better approach would be to define whatever settings you have outside 
of the LilyPond file, in a script invoking LilyPond, add compilation flags 
based on them, and also pass them to LilyPond using the --evaluate option 
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#basic-command-line-options-for-lilypond).

Perhaps a better approach would be to define whatever settings you have outside 
of the LilyPond file, in a script invoking LilyPond, add compilation flags 
based on them, and also pass them to LilyPond using the `--evaluate` option 
([https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#basic-command-line-options-for-lilypond](https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage#basic-command-line-options-for-lilypond)).

RE: PNG file output

[jschlomann]

Jean,

I’ve found your response, and I’ve updated my list subscription to my new email.

 

My reason for wanting this is that I need to generate several types of output 
based on some other settings in my input file. For example, I need PDF output 
for print, and PNG output in a couple different resolutions for projection on a 
screen. This is for use in a church.

 

One thought I had was to spawn another LilyPond so that I could specify command 
line options based on the settings in my input file. I haven’t been able to get 
this to work so far, for reasons I don’t understand. I tried this using (system 
"lilypond -fpng file.ly"). I also tried Guile’s system*, but got an unbind 
error. I’m using 2.22.2.

 

Thank you for your response, and apologies for missing it initially.

John

Is there a way to get png output using some internal setting? #(ly: set-option 
'resolution 300) works fine, but only if I use the -fpng command line option. I 
need to set this conditionally in the .ly file. Any way to do this? Should I be 
looking at guile?

 

 

I'm afraid this can't be done without dirty tricks. Output formats are really 
tied to the command line. However, I think this might be an XY question. Could 
you elaborate on why you want to do this?

You already asked that question a week ago and I replied that there isn't. Not 
sure why you're asking again?

PNG output

Is there any way to effect a "-fpng" using Scheme in an input file?

Now how did I miss that? Face-palm :-)

Thanks,
