Re: Lyrics too far from notes
Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: The property setting means that the lyrics is typeset within a rectangle that extends at least 3 units down (that's that -3) and 3 units up elative to the baseline of the lyrics. This rectangle is then put next to the rectangle where the stave is typeset (see Documentation - Program reference -Translation - Contexts - Staff for information on the smallest size of that rectangle). So, if you want the lyrics closer to the staves, you can decrease the verticalExtent in the both the Staff context and the LyricsVoice context (note that your setting actually increases the spacing compared to the default). Mats, I your write up on setting properties (http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-10/msg00195.html) and found it very helpful and readable. I definitely think it should be polished up and added somewhere in the documentation, perhaps in the (http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Interpretation-context.html#Interpretation%20context) section. -- Thanks, Jeff ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

notes lyrics won't line up
Hi All, This is my first real attempt, although it took a some time, Emacs helped quite bit. I've got a couple quick questions: How can I assign names to the voices showing up to the left of the first line? E.g., Soprano | Alto| | Tenor | Bass| Why aren't my lyrics lining up with my notes? And I guess along the same line, why is the spacing in some measures so cramped? Since most of the time each of the voices share the same lyrics, I used double quotes when I wanted to preserve space, but print no lyric. To make lining this up easier, I put each measure on a new line. I've attached the ly source, and PDF. -- Thanks in advance, Jeff whispering.ly Description: Binary data whispering.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Staffgroup question
Hi All.
I've been fiddling with the satb.ly template, trying to create a
barbershop quartet template. My question: Why can I get away with
specifying the time signature once in the first staff, and have it
default to the same in the lower staff, but not have the key signature
behave the same way. It may seem a silly question, but I never played
anything that has diffent keys in a connected staff. As such:
[...]
\score { \notes
\context StaffGroup
\property Score.automaticMelismata = ##t
\context Lyrics = tenorLyrs { }
\context Staff = treble { \key ef \major \time 2/2 }
\context Lyrics = leadLyrs { }
\context Lyrics = bariLyrs { }
\context Staff = bass {\clef bass \key ef \major }
\context Lyrics = bassLyrs { }
\addlyrics
\context Staff = treble \context Voice = VA { \voiceOne \tenorMusic }
\context Lyrics = tenorLyrs { \tenorWords}
\addlyrics
\context Staff = treble \context Voice = VB { \voiceTwo \leadMusic }
\context Lyrics = leadLyrs { \leadWords}
\addlyrics
\context Staff = bass \context Voice = VA { \voiceOne \bariMusic }
\context Lyrics = bariLyrs { \bariWords}
\addlyrics
\context Staff = bass \context Voice = VB { \voiceTwo \bassMusic }
\context Lyrics = bassLyrs { \bassWords}
[...]
And secondly, is that the correct place(s) to put the \key \time
keywords? Thirdly, the original template defined:
,
|\context Lyrics = tenorLyrs { }
`
as
,
|\context Lyrics = tenorLyrs { s1 }
`
What's the significance of that term? And finally, is there a
hierarchical diagram of which contexts are valid where? Or perhaps an
EBNF? I've been kinda randomly trying spots (and yes, I did read).
Thanks in advance, sorry for the greenhorn questions.

Re: Trouble starting Lilypond
Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: LilyPond is probably fairly different from most other programs you have experienced before and it's definitely one where you have to read at least the tutorial before you can do anything useful at all. Agreed. Is learning Scheme a subtle requirement? Meaning that to really understand what going on, learn Scheme. If so, any recommended reading? Is there any other documentation other than the tutorial and user guide? I.e., printed book? I use GNU Emacs on Windows, and haven't yet tackled elisp, but is Scheme and elisp similar?

Is there such a way I can create a 'spacer lyric'?
