Dear list, While one part is singing a cadenza another part is holding a long note. I know how to make a rest or a skip the length of a cadenza bu not how to make a held note the length of the cadenza. thanks John Burt
Alternative beginnings
I know how to use \repeat volta to produce alternative endings. I'm trying to set a song in which the music for verses 2 and 3 is different from the music for verse 1. Is there something like \repeat volta for alternative beginnings? thanks John
Like \bendAfter but before a note
I'm trying to render a vocal call in which the singer swoops up to the note and then swoops down. I know I can do the swooping down part with \bendAfter. How can I handle the swooping up part? with thanks John Burt
Making a click track on midi output
I'm making a score for a virtual choir. In addition to the pdf of the score, I'd like to send along a midi file which includes a "click track" to guide the singers. I know how to make the midi file. But I don't know how to include a click track. Can anyone help me with this? John
Strange behavior with grace notes
When the first notes of a piece are grace notes, if there are other voices,
or other staves in the piece, the grace note is set in a separate bar, and
then the time signature and key are printed again. I notice the same thing
with appoggiatura and accacciatura. I tried to make this example as minimal
as i could.
\version "2.18.2"
global = {
\key f \minor
\time 3/4
}
tenorI = \relative c' {
\global
c2.
}
tenorII = \relative c' {
\global
\grace {c16 des16} c4 des8 des8 c8
}
baritone = \relative c {
\global
\dynamicUp
c2.
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff \with {\clef "treble_8"
} <<
\new Voice = "tenorI" { \voiceOne \tenorI }
\new Voice = "tenorII" { \voiceTwo \tenorII }
>>
\new Staff \with {
} <<
\clef bass
\new Voice = "baritone" { \voiceOne \baritone }
>>
>>
\layout { }
}
if I comment out the tenorI voice and the baritone voice the grace note
works fine. But if I uncomment either the problem returns.
Any light anyone can cast on this would be much appreciated!

How to code a glide?
I'm sorry to say that I don't even know the proper term for what I am trying to do. I am setting some Georgian folksongs. Sometimes they end with a descending glide on the last note (like an engine running down). On the handwritten sheet music I have been using this is represented as a squiggly descending line after the last note. I'd like to put that in my score, but I have no idea how to code it. Does anyone have an idea? John Burt
Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi
Thank you for your help. I solved the problem in a stupidly easy way, or rather discovered that I had caused the problem in a stupid way. It struck me as strange that I could launch Denemo but not Lilypond, and it occured to me that when I installed Denemo from the add/remove software tab on the preferences pane I might have installed a version of Lilypond that was conflicting with the one I had downloaded separately. So I deleted both programs and started over, installing both of them from the add/remove software tab on the preferences pane.. Now Denemo runs, and Lilypad runs also. It should have occurred to me that if the repository maintainers included Denemo that they would have made sure that the Lilypad they had was compatible with it. -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
Re: Instructions to install lilypond onto Raspberry Pi
I downloaded the deb-file for lilypond from http://partitura.org/index.php/lilypond/. It installed smoothly. But I had trouble getting it to run because of the required dependency on guile 1.8 (I have guile 2 something). I followed the instructions on the partitura page for downloading guile 1.8, but when I update my apt program it tells me that the apt archive for jessie is no longer available. Is there another way that you know of to install guile 1.8? I also downloaded the source for lilypond to see whether I could compile it. But I'm new at that. Do you have an idea how hard it would be for me to modify the lilypond sources so that they would work with the guile I have? Thanks! -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html
