multiple chords for one note's duration

[Bric]

Is there any way to typeset two or more chords over, say, a whole note (the 
note spans a whole 4/4 measure, but one chord is positioned at the beginning of 
the measure, and another, say, half-way)

markup(List) text color

[Bric]

Greetings.  For my life I can't (find|figure out) the code for changing text 
color in \markupList.  The "font-size" line does work - the font size change is 
applied to the entire paragraph.

The "\override #'(font-color . red)" line does not cause an error, but has no 
effect on the color. Using version 2.19.83. Please help. Thanks.

svg output - note/rest grouping

[Bric]

Hello

There's been discussion about this over the last few years; however, i'm not 
sure if this particular feature has been requested before

How easy would it be to modify the generated SVG document, such that every note 
and rest be encapsulated in its own markup group:


  
  
  
  

and 


   
 


(perhaps also opt out of hyperlinks, and stuff like that - though that's lower 
priority for me)

In my case i am needing to override a series of notes and then revert.  (So, 
don't want to use "\once"). I have already used your construct, coupling it 
with reverting directives grouped the same way (with a named group):

emphasizeStem = {
   \override Stem.thickness = #3.0
   \override Stem.color = #'(0.5 0.3 0.2)
}

revertStem = {
  \revert Stem.thickness
  \revert Stem.color
}

Then i mark up a set of notes with the above two, as start and end markers, 
like so:

e'8  \emphasizeStem  gis'' cis''  e'' dis'' \revertStem fis''

What would be nice is be able to parametrize those blocks somehow

But, i guess, that can only be done with a Scheme function? I'm shaky on scheme.

\override multiple properties?

[Bric]

The documentation examples are showing single property overrides, like so:

\override Voice.Stem.thickness = #3.0

Is it possible to override multiple with just one "\override" directive?

something like this (wrong syntax):

\override { Voice.Stem.thickness = #3.0
Voice.Stem.color = #(rgb-color 0.3 0.1 0.1)
  }


to reduce redundant syntax, if one had to override many at once.

This might be broadening the scope of the original concern, but as food for 
thought:  

One would want to control the timing of the HH closing for *artistic* 
purposes... the HH closing can make for rhythmic expression (and often does, in 
live performance)

That said, however, the automation of the above (in lilypond) may be outside 
the scope of what the app is intended for (primarily score engraving).  Correct 
me if i'm wrong.

 This is interesting. A couple of hours ago I had the discussion with


 Federico


 whether there is a reason for compiling guile in LilyDev postinstall


 based on branch_release-1-8 rather


 than just taking guile-1.8.8.tar.gz from ftp.gnu.org.


 Are the fixes on top of the guile-1.8.8 release really important for us?

   
   
We probably still need to configure using --disable-error-on-warning ,
   
   
and without those changes, building will fail at least when trying to
   
   
build the documentation with a newer Texinfo version.
   
   

   
  
  
   ./configure option "--disable-error-on-warning"  made guile-1.8.8 compile (yay) The "errors" were warnings raised to errors apparently (?)
   
  
  
   
  
  
   After that, lilypond-2.19.83 ./configure was happy about the guile version, and completed configure.
   
  
  
   
  
  
   But then lilypond errors out on:
   
  
  
   
  
  
   GNUmakefile:295: recipe for target 'out/internals.texi' failed"

You likely need to point configure to guile and guile-config
   
   

   
   
../configure GUILE_CONFIG=/path/to/guile-config GUILE=/path/to/guile
   
  
  
   
  
  
   i don't follow the above.   You would point to /path/to/guile-config and /path/to/guile

   A (rare) need to downgrade a dependency, correct?  
   
  
  
   
  
  
   Or -- correct me if i'm wrong -- as an alternative to downgrading, I could build an old, compatible version from source, to an isolated directory, and satisfy the lilypond dependency that way? 
   
  
  
   
  
  
   I was asking about the latter:  the older versions of guile are not compiling.

Hi Bric,

How about :

\version "2.18.2"

\transpose c c'' {
  s2. r4 |
  dis8
  ^\markup {
\translate #'(-5 . 0)
\rotate #-45
\pattern #4 #X #0 \musicglyph #"scripts.trill_element"
  }
  e gis b
}


That works great!  Michael Gerdau's code connects two distinct notes 
with a glissando; this one looks identical to the single-note ornament 
that is in the original music.


thanks.

what is the object associated with extraNatural ?

[Bric]

The extraNatural property is a boolean, for key signature change, which 
switches off/on the appearance of cancellation naturals.


But what is the name of the actual engraving object for the set of 
naturals that appear? (Such that one may change its visual properties 
(like color, size, and what not))


Just like one can do this:

\override Staff.KeySignature.color = #red

It seems one should be able to do this:

\override Staff.extraNaturalObject.color = #red


I've searched the docs to no avail.

For this graphical object, there is no differentiation between sharps,
flats naturals and extra naturals. To my knowledge you can only color
all accidentals of a note at once. This shows all three objects in

flats naturals and extra naturals. To my knowledge you can only color
all accidentals of a note at once. This shows all three objects in

Yes, KeyCancellation is what I was looking for. Thanks again!

wonderful! it works.   Including ChordName.color

For some reason, font-size seems to have a minimum.  Value "1" seems to 
be the minimum, and anything below that (e.g., 0.1) seems to be rounded 
up to 1.  I could be wrong.

chord symbol styling

[Bric]

none of the threads discussing this lead to any solution, in my research

How do you change font-family, font-style, font-size of the chord fonts?

I have tried things like...

\override ChordName #'font-name = "DejaVu Serif"
\override ChordName #'font-size = #2
\override ChordName #'font-family = #'roman
\override ChordName #'font-series = #'bold

but that changes nothing.  Maybe I don't know the correct context these 
commands shouild be in...


my *.ly code "compiles" without error, but the chord symbols remain the 
same.


Do I need to use the full path of the fonts?

thanks

Just my two cents about Linux and Ubuntu:  Installing Ubuntu has become 
a breeze.  Also, there are a plethora of cool utilities that make 
compiling easy, too (it's nice to be able to compile the latest lilypond 
and whatever, locally).  Well, you need to know some basic command-line 
stuff, I suppose.


One particular, however:  I would stay away from Unity, and opt for 
GNOME during installation.  Someone could still correct me and 
persuade me about the glory of Unity, but I have instinctively disliked 
it from its inception, and am happily using the traditional Gnome.  
And I also feel like the new newcomers who never get to experience Gnome 
would be missing its sensibility and might never know they had the 
option to choose between the two.


Well, the above is more like 25cents.  And I risk reactionary responses 
from Unity fans - but rational arguments are welcomed.


good luck with your installation and implementation.  Should be really easy.

With traditional do you mean Gnome 2.x or the new Gnome 3.x + 
Gnome-shell?


Just like Unity (which I have not tried yet) Gnome3/Gnome-shell can be 
quite a shock if you are looking for a traditional desktop. I am 
really happy with it now, but it did take some time to get used to.


There are other alternatives if you are looking for something more 
traditional. Linux = freedom of choice.




good point. I guess there was a big leap from 2 to 3.  I am using 3.10.4 
currently.  The bigger differences though are internal, AFAICT; the 
exterior of 3 doesn't seem that much different from 2.0.  (And I did use 
the word traditional in quotes, originally ;-)

how to force shortened staff lines?

i want to generate a landscape score, but one where the staff lines

30% width blank, on the right, for hand-written annotations (upon printout).


I've tried:

line-width = 70%

line-width = 7.0\in

right-margin = 3.0\in

but all that is being ignored.  At least in the \paper {   } block.

I would also like to know how one can include typed text in the same

I have a hunch this is a page layout question that's already been

good, do you still get an error about python-dev? What's the current 
error when you run ./autogen.sh?


I just updated the git, and the problem has been corrected somehow.

the updated ./configure told me I was missing the flex program. So, I 
apt-get-installed flex - surprisingly I did have a package named just 
that (!)... That's strange because it didn't  show up in the apt-file 
find 'FlexLexer' output.  I think that was the primary glitch with flex.


the other two complaints - about guile and python - simply went away, 
with the git update (I don't think I changed anything on my end)


So, now I have:

$ lilypond --version
GNU LilyPond 2.19.3

thank you to all, extremely much !

Maybe this could be a good starting point!?
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/what-goes-into-the-midi-output_003f

Take also a closer look at The Articulate script mentioned...



Looks like the Articulate script tries to simulate stoccato by 
shortening written note duration and writing in a compensating rest 
(i.e., { e4\stoccato b\stoccato } is converted to { e16 r8. b16 r8. }). 
  As the documentation warns, this, of course, alters the rendered 
visual while (trying to) alter the midi properly.


It seems that IDEALLY, one would want the modification to be done 
directly on midi level, with the visual, written left unaltered. Plus, 
if there were a variety of overrides and (micro)controls over specific 
midi durations, with the conventional dynamic notation included among 
the parameters of the functions, it would be the ultimate way to finesse 
the midi audio, it seems.

a soundfont at all. It's the distributions that provide a soundfont or 
patchset and use this as default.


But if you want to use another soundfont, you are free to do so. You 
just need to edit or replace the *.cfg file.


For example on Fedora the FluidR3 soundfont is used by default (On 
fedora it's split into three packages namely fluid-soundfont-common, 
fluid-soundfont-gm, and fluid-soundfont-gs)


But in the Fedora repositories you can also find 
PersonalCopy-Light-soundfont.

And there are many more, free and nonfree, available from other sources.


Under Ubuntu (and I suppose Debian and other distributions) there is a
package called fluid-soundfont-gm



If you install that and use it in timidity by changing the following
line in /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg:
- source /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg
+ source /etc/timidity/fluidr3_gm.cfg



You can play at least all the 6 examples from your mail.


Unfortunately another poster needed to replace fluidR3 with freepats, 
because he was having stereo panning problems with fluidR3 ...



I need to investigate these cases but: sometimes it could be that it's 
not the soundfont but timidity's .cfg file that causes a problem.


The simplest cfg file for a soundfont named example.sf2 would simply 
contain one single line


soundfont example.sf2

This way it is possible to hear what is caused by the soundfont only, 
and not influenced by settings in a timidity.cfg file.




Not to digress from lilypond /too/ much, but FWIW, some default patches 
for the timidity(++) on my Ubuntu sound significantly better than the 
ones in the FluidR3 soundfont (strings, for instance). I am talking 
about the quality (verisimilitude) and beauty of the actual sound, not 
panning issues.  I will look into creating my own font by 
cherry-picking various patches from different fonts and consolidating 
them into one preferred set.

midiInstrument not rendered for some values

[Bric]

trying random instruments from the list of instruments on this page: 
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/midi-instruments


here are the values for which my timidity (version 2.13.2) creates an 
audible track (a few picked at random):


cello
xylophone
pan flute

and here are a few values for which there is no sound in the generated 
midi file:


contrabass
honky-tonk
pizzicato strings


is this a glitch?  is it my timidity  ?  I just downloaded, compiled and 
installed the latest git, version 2.19.0 (on linux), thinking that would 
solve it, but does not.

This should help with this:

OK. I've read through the above.


I haven't done much with adding things to the music on the input side like
you are wanting.  I have mostly customized what's output by conditionally
modifying grob properties.  These are two different sides or angles...

For example, NoteHead.color is a grob property and you could conditionally
change it based on a note's pitch using scheme, for example:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=572


I have SOME understanding of the advanced snippet code

The other two you referred to seem to be vital to my quest -

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=82
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=83

Development is moving insanely fast here. I just compiled 2.17.29, and 
there's already 2.17.95


I guess I need to build the latest frescobaldi, locally(?), so it's in 
step with the latest lilypond?


Some feedback on the snippet database:   It has a sort by date option, 
but the dates are not showing.  I think it would be of some benefit to 
manifest the dates.   Also, to juxtapose the code and its rendered 
result, on the same page, would also be good (save a lot of time, in the 
long run)


So, obviously, just to add a ^markup to the music function is not 
trivial.  I'm gathering that (text) markup belongs to an event 
function, rather than a music function, and the two can't be 
integrated ... although, that doesn't sound likely, off the top of my 
head, given the power and flexibility of this environment.


I have lots of other reflections but will post this for now.

Markups can't be added to general music expressions (what would
 c1 \\ d2 ^hi even mean?).  But in this case you can just attach
it to an empty chord starting with the music expression, like
^markup text  #the-music  ...

Fascinating!  That worked. When I add your empty chord structure, I get 
one single insertion of the markup, per single invocation of the 
function (even though it gets applied to multiple notes).  (If the 
^\markup... comes before #the-music, it's on the first note of the 
set of notes; if after, it follows the set of notes).


So... this is all quite amazing and powerful.But the interplay 
between the multiplicity of notes, and the singularity of \markup is 
something to finesse further.


Because, what I am observing sort of defies my earlier idea of 
conditionally checking every note, its properties, and, based on a 
boolean, inserting or not inserting a markup.   If the markup is 
inserted only once per invocation of the function, then what I was 
thinking would be impossible.   But, i would guess, there's some way to 
do multiple insertions of markup, per function instantiation.

modular markup and arguments

[Bric]

Hi, all

I was pleasantly astounded that lilypond allows for things like

boo = { \once { \override NoteHead.color = #red  } }


and then mark up notes sporadically, with  \boo cis'   \boo d

But here's what I want (give me an inch, I'll want a lightyear!)

I want the ability to distribute the effect of \boo to a SET of notes.

Such as \boo {  dis'  e'  fis' g' }

where all the four notes are affected by boo.

I tried using

boo = { \override NoteHead.color = #red }

and  then  \boo dis' e' fis' g \revert

but that, of course, is incorrect syntax.

So what gives?   Such a wonderful thing as a modular markup  and yet 
it's a hair away from being hyperglorious only because you cannot 
parametrize it, or make it distributive to a set.


By the way, can someone please tell me what the above is called, in 
lilypond jargon.


I also realize that in lilypond, the term markup is reserved for text, 
and I think that's unfortunate, because it's a broader concept, that 
would include the phenomenon I am refferring to here.


It would be amazingly cool if you could feed parameters into \boo

This would then be an awesome hybrid of markup+algorithmic syntax

(am I off my rocker!??)

can someone help scope out the task of adding semantically sound unique 
identifiers to the svg elements?


Such that the id bears info on, at least, the staff, (maybe bar), and 
note/chord index (consecutive integer index, for instance)


the output-svg.scm script has various routines to build the svg

(e.g., round-filled-box)...


Before I spend hours (days?) trying to figure out the precise subroutine 
chain/tree , perhaps someone can lead me directly to the top-level code 
that feeds lilypond info into these scripts? And whereby one can feed 
staff/movement info, along with note index down to the final svg output?


And is this a realistic goal, I wonder?  I think even just identifying 
CLASS information in the id=... attribute might help. Just to set the 
stem rect apart from the staff line rect, for instance, would 
already be an improvement; but, of course, I prefer even more specifics, 
as I described above.

There is a grob property that is called id that is called far downstream 
(right when the backends are getting the last information about the grobs before drawing 
them).  That means that, if you create a callback for this property, you can feed it all 
sorts of info.  The resulting SVG object will be wrapped in a group with this id.

For example…

\version 2.17.30

#(define (note-number grob)
   (string-concatenate
 (list
   NoteHead/
   (number-string
 (ly:pitch-semitones
   (ly:event-property (ly:grob-property grob 'cause) 'pitch))

\relative c' {
   \override NoteHead.id = #note-number
   a
}

Then

lilypond -dbackend=svg yourfilename.ly

Then open the SVG and look for id=NoteHead/-3

Cheers,
MS
Hi! I see it. And I can see that you're doing some sort of awesome magic 
here, but it remains a total mystery... looking at the code, and looking 
at the result, alike.


(what's a grob property?  I guess it's time to hit the fine manual...)

I can see that your code above generates this in the resulting *.svg file:

g id=NoteHead/-3
path transform=translate(24.1197, 21.1727) scale(0.0040, -0.0040) 
d=M217 139c57 0 112 -31 112 -94c0 -72 -55 -121 -102 -149c-35 -21 -74

35z fill=currentColor/

/g

but I have no idea why this is so, and why there's a group with only one 
member in it.  I presume you are suggesting to group the notehead, the 
stem, and maybe accidentals, and what not, under the same group and 
group id?

instead of assigning anonymous generic inkscape object names (e.g.,
id=rect7306 ), have id's such as:

path style=... d=... id=note23_gis_head
path style=... d=... id=note23_gis_stem
path style=... d=... id=note23_gis_elem1
path style=... d=... id=note23_gis_elem2
...
etc.

Maybe there's a category of elements that comprises both sounding notes and
rests?  I.e., duration elements ... in which case, perhaps, that should be
used instead of note above?

Also:

path style=... d=... id=bar1
path style=... d=... id=bar2
path style=... d=... id=bar3
etc...

---

I thought about the svg grouping option, but that would be a more radical
revision than creating smart id's like above. Such id's would IMPLY grouping,
semantically.  The parsers could sort out and group elements much more easily,
it seams, actually adding the svg grouping, post factum, if need be.

Hi, guys:

I don't think I have the font problem (I'm on Ubuntu, and I viewed the attached
svg files in Inkscape with no apparent problems); however, I can't even get past
step 1 — saving as svg. I end up with a ps file, not svg. I do the
following:

lilypond -o outfile.svg -fsvg infile.ly

and that prints:

Processing `infile.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...[8]
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `outfile.svg.ps'...
Success: compilation successfully completed

And the only thing produced is  outfile.svg.ps, and it IS a post-script file,
not an svg.

What am I doing wrong?

output to a single, unwrapped, one-line PNG ?

[Bric]

Hi, all

Is there a way to have lilypond output to a very long, skinny PNG image with a
one-line score?

In other words, no wrapping or line breaking — bar after bar laid out
horizontally, to the very end (and, of course, only one instance of Clefs, Time
Signature, Key — at the very beginning)

The word line is in quotes, because I have a piano score, with two staffs,
obviously, and I am referring to the TWO staffs as one line

TIA!

Cool!  It worked for me.  Although I /am/ getting what seems to be a bug that
this guy pointed out this past summer:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-06/msg00546.html

Also, is there a way to specify resolution for the PNG?

Yes.  Thanks again.  I forgot to be more specific in previous reply, about my
bug.  I am getting the extra blank space, below the score — about an 800-pixel
excess for the image height (the actual score line is just below the top border.
Auto-cropping in gimp seems to fix that quickly.

What is mfplain ? Online searching fails to explain.

 If you look at the example at the end of section 2.1.3 in the Notation
 Reference,
 and add the following to the end, it will add a centered sixth verse.  You
 should be able to work out from this what you need to do.  Here's the
 extra verse - make sure you get fill-line (which centres a single argument)
 and line (which makes a single argument from two) right!

 \markup {
   \fill-line {
 \line {
   \bold 6.
   \column {
 This is verse six.
 It has two lines.
   }
 }
   }
 }

OK.  I hadn't checked my version -- it is/was 2.14 .  Somewhere between 2.14 and
2.16.1 things like \vspace and other syntax/commands were added...

Since it's developing so fast, it might be a good idea to mention versions to a
newbie.  Ubuntu still has nothing newer than 2.14 in its repositories.

Anyhow, I'm trying the most stable now -- 2.16.1 ; let me see how far I can get
with 2.16.1 on my own.

Centering / Indenting a paragraph?

[Bric]

Hi, I'm new to this list and to lilypond

I just learned that I can do this:


\markup {
  \fill-line {
\hspace #1
\column {
  \line { This is my first verse  }
  \line { For Column 1 as a  supplemental }
  \line { Text blurb below the score }
  \line { This is when I don't }
  \line { Want to align multiple  }
  \line { Verses directly beneath the score staves }
}
\hspace #2

\column {
  \line { This is my second verse  }
  \line { It is for Column 2 }
  \line { of the second  }
  \line { Blurb. }
  \line { Pretty cool and all is well  }
  \line { Wit these two columns }
}
\hspace #3

}

The above is rendered fine, with two columns well balanced.

the problem is:  How do I add a third paragraph, centered and indented?

If I add the following after the above...

\markup {
  \fill-line {
\column  {
  \line { \italic { I want this  } }
  \line { \italic { Centered underneath } }
  \line { \italic { The above two verses } }
  \line { \italic { Apparently, that isn't easy! } }

}
\hspace #4
  }
}

it is left-justified, left-aligned.  How do I shift the paragraph?

Also, while we're on this topic:

(2) How do I add an empty line (forced newline, paragraphbreak, or some such),
in the above sets of lines?

(3) How can I add other things like solid horizontal line (rules), etc.., etc. ?

Thanks

 Hi Bric,

 Welcome to the list!

 Does this thread help at all with your question?

 http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Adding-3-column-section-to-score-td136474.html

Changinge \column to \center-column  doesn't center the column.  It only
shoves the verse further leftward, beyond gutter (left) margin.

(the rounded box is rendered fine, though)

 Lily does what you told her:
 \fill-line with \column { ... } on the left and \hspace #4 on the right.
 Visible, if you add \box before \hspace #4.
 Deleting \hspace #4 will center it horizontally on the page.
