Hi Jean,

Thanks for notifying me. I can confirm that the fix solves the problem. I was 
able to typeset a score with the right fonts after re-running brew install 
lilypond.

Thanks a lot for fixing this!

As a follow up, I can confirm that installing the fonts manually from 
https://github.com/ArtifexSoftware/urw-base35-fonts also fixed the problem. Can 
be a work around if you want to stick with the Homebrew installation.

Re: producing archival scores

2007-04-17 Thread Bart Kummel

Hi List,

I just read this very interesting discussion. I don't think this is a
problem that will easily be solved. In fact, this is not a Lilypond- or even
music notation-specific problem. Similar cases exist for all other file
formats. (For example: how future proof is Microsoft's .doc format?)

However, I just want to add another possible direction for a solution. I
recently came across a project called XSugar (www.brics.dk/xsugar/). It's a
tool that gives the possibility to transform between XML and non-XML formats
in two directions. (Unlike XSLT, which can do a transformation from XML to
non-XML, but not the other way around.) I think it should be possible to
write a XSugar grammar for converting Lilypond format to MusicXML and back.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to investigate this, but perhaps someone
else has...

Best regards,
Bart Kummel, Hilversum, The Netherlands

Re: Helping with the documentation

2006-04-15 Thread Bart Kummel
Hi all,Unfortunately I do not agree with most of your points. About searching: I often use google. With the option site:lilypond.org you can narrow the search to that site and by including a version number in the search terms you can narrow it down to one version. This method could be used with a wiki too. 
About the tarballs. Most Windows users don't even know what a tarball is. Personally I hate local documentation. I always have a browser window open, so it's very easy to seach for a topic by using Google as explained above.
And Graham: I don't get your point saying that the current docs are easier to maintain that a wiki. In the current setup, every piece of documentation has to go through your hands. With a wiki, everyone could add things themselves, so you will get far less work, even if you think editing a wiki is more comples than what you are doing now. (Apart from the fact that in my opinion there is nothing simpler than editing a wiki page...)
Making tarballs available with newer docs than the website looks like a good step, but I think a website should always represent the latest state. One of the reasons that earlier wiki's weren't a big success could be that people do not want 
another place to look for documentation. Therefore the best solution (in my opinion) is to replace the current docs with a wiki. I think the way the documentation is done now is a little bit oldfashioned. It may be good for the linux-geeks amongst the lilypond users. But for Windows users, who generally have less knowledge about operating systems, it is now not easy to use and/or to contribute.
Let me end with this: I do appreciate all the work you do in making both lilypond itself and its documentation better with every release. You're all doing a great job! Thanks for that!

Re: Helping with the documentation

2006-04-15 Thread Bart Kummel
I think you're missing at least part of my point. I know how to useGoogle with a targeted search. The problem is that the amount of text
surrounding a match that Google returns is often insufficient todetermine if it's what I want, whereas scanning through the wholemanual in a browser automatically returns an entire page of context(if I want it).
OK, Got the point now.  Personally I hate local documentation.
Many people don't have reliable broadband always available.You have told us about your personal preferences, which is entirelylegitimate. But my personal preferences are that I really, reallydon't like using wiki-only documentation.
This discussion is not only about personal taste. It's about the fact that a large part of the people who maintain lilypond and its documentation are people who are very familiar with computers, linux, et cetera. I'm trying to act as a devil's advocate here: there are lots of people out there using Windows, having not much computer knowledge, who are potential users of and contributors to lilypond + docs. I think we're missing those people here, because we do things in a linux-like way.
Using a wiki is just one suggestion to change this. Perhaps there are other ways. I'd like to hear other people's ideas about this.Best regards,Bart Kummel

Re: Helping with the documentation

2006-04-14 Thread Bart Kummel
Hi Graham,What I'm missing currently in the docs is a section about organ music. There are some instrument-specific things that can be discussed in such a section. I'm willing to help with that, but I have very little spare time. 
So I was thinking of a method to make contibuting to the docs more easy. Perhaps it's a good idea to set up a wiki for the docs. I believe there is a lilypond plugin for wikis, to make it easy to post comments and their results. We could start by only adding some new topics and then gradually move more and more topics from the old docs to the wiki. After some time we end up with the full documentation in a wiki. Since wikis have a versioning system built in, we could use that to keep info for older versions of Lily available.
I think there are many benefits for using a wiki instead of the way the documentation is done now. I think it's more easy for the editor, because he doesn't have to add all contibutions manually, he only has to edit them. Another benefit is that we don't have to wait until a new version of Lilypond is built for new documentation to come available on-line. A third benefit is that the documentation does not depend on one or a few persons any more. 
I hope you want to consider my suggestions. As I said, I don't have much time, but I'm willing to help in the few moments I have. I have some experience with setting up a wiki. And for the documentation itself: I play the organ as an amateur, so I know a low about organ and also choral music notation.

Does anyone know a variable name that works for this purpose? Or does

Mirror margins

2006-03-22 Thread Bart Kummel
Hi gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general,

I am using Lilypond quite often and I like it very much! Most of the time I use
Lilypond to extend and/or adapt my church songbook. Recently I began to create a
sort of template to make the Lilypond look more like the original music in the
songbook. Think of things like selecting another font for titles, moving the
page numbers to the footer, etc. 

My question is about the margins. My songbook consists of a D-ring binder, so I
need some space where I can punch the holes. I can only find settings for left
and right margins, but as you probably know, the holes are on the right on even
pages and on the left on odd pages. So I need the margins to be mirrored on even
and ood pages. I tried to write some Scheme code to achieve this, but since I'm
not very familiar with Scheme, I did not succeed. Is it possible to get mirrored
margins by means of some hack? Has somebody done this before? (I already
searched the snippet repository.)

I am a programmer, so I'm not affraid of some hacking around, but Scheme is not
a language I'm familiar with, so I'd appreciate need some help on that.
