Yes, I missed the vertical position aspect.  Ignore my noise.

In the notation reference about beaming, 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/beams.en.html#manual-beams 
, it looks like you can achieve what you want by using manual beaming along 
with \set stemLeftBeamCount and \set stemRightBeamCount .

I think that preserving the time signatures as they are would be
better.  the 2 x 3/4  was just one example.  The piece starts off
in 2 x 2/4 goes to 2 x 6/8  then 3 x 6/8 then back to 2 x 2/4 and
ends in 2 x 3/4.  The second part starts in 2 x 6/8, goes to 3 x 6/8,
2 x 3/4, 3 x 3/4, 2 x 3/4, and ends in 2 x 6/8.  The first number
tells you how many major pulses are in a measure and the fraction
tells you how to subdivide the pulse.  I do appreciate your advice.

trying to reproduce unusual time signature

[Kim Shrier]

I am re-typsetting a piece from a modern (1950’s) edition
of some 14’th century music, in order to make it easier to
read and play from.  It has a time signature that looks like:

 3
2 x -
 4

Is there some way to do this in lilypond?

It looks like I could write a scheme function to do this but
I wanted to make sure I haven’t missed something that
already exists before I embark on that.

Thanks,

Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages

[Kim Shrier]

I’m 60 and I program for a living.

I have been using lilypond almost from the time it first came out.
I mainly use it for typesetting medieval and renaissance music,
sometimes from original notation or for re-typsetting poorly
typeset editions.

I have contributed some minor enhancements and bug fixes
when I first started using lilypond but nothing lately.

I use emacs for music entry and manage my music projects
using the fossil source control system and the mk make command
from Plan 9.

I used to use Calliope on the NeXT machine before I discovered
lilypond.  Tried Finale and Sibelius but I really prefer the text entry
and quality of lilypond.

placing text next to a note head

[Kim Shrier]

Hello,

I am trying to place some text next to a note head and I can't
make it work.  I am trying to place a right comma just to the
right and a little above a note.  I have tried many variations
on this:

   c4 -\tweak #'X-offset #2.56 -\tweak #'Y-offset #-2.0 ^\markup  
{ \musicglyph #scripts.rcomma }


The note is the C on the center line of the staff in alto
clef.  This successfully moves the rcomma to the right of the
note head but I can't seem to get the rcomma to come down from
above the staff, no matter what I use for the Y-offset.  I
seem to remember that there is something I need to override to
allow markup to show up inside the staff but I can't track it
down.  I am using lilypond 2.13.6.

Any help would be appreciated.

Typesetting a 17th century music example.

[Kim Shrier]

Hello,

I am working on typesetting some music examples from a 17th century
book on how to improvise.  I am having trouble figuring out how to
set one example in particular.  The example is showing concords and
discords.  It has an 11 line staff where the lines are spread out to
allow room for notes with interval notations.  I have figured out how
to handle that part.  The example also has a treble, alto, and bass
clef all stacked vertically on the left side of the staff.  The treble
clef is positioned on the 4th line, the alto clef is positioned on the
6th line and the bass clef is positioned on the 8th line.  I am unable
to figure out how to place these 3 clefs.  I can place any one clef
in the proper place but I don't seem to be able to figure out how to
get all 3 clefs placed on the single staff.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would use markup, i.e:
 \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
   \override Staff.Clef #'text = \markup \column {
  \raise #1.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.C}
  \raise #0.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.C}
  \raise #-1.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.C}
   }

James E. Bailey



Thank you.  With only minor corrections, the above worked.  I used:

  \override Staff.Clef #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
  \override Staff.Clef #'text = \markup \column {
\raise #3.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.G}
\raise #0.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.C}
\raise #-3.0 {\musicglyph #clefs.F}
  }

since I had increased the staff space to 3 and I wanted the 3 different
clefs.

Problem setting fingering direction, again

[Kim Shrier]

Sorry for the incomplete post I just sent.  To recap:

I am having some difficulty getting fingering numbers to show up to
the left of the notes that they belong to if I have 2 voices on a
staff.  I figured out how to do it if I have only one voice on a
staff:

\version 2.12.1

\paper{
 indent=0\in
 line-width=6\in
 oddFooterMarkup=##f
 oddHeaderMarkup=##f
 bookTitleMarkup = ##f
 scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
}

\score {
 \new Staff 
   \new Voice = melody {
 \relative c' {
   \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
   e-3 a-54
 }
   }
 
}
inline: test1.tiff


This produces the correct results with the fingerings on the left
of the chord.  However, I want 2 voices on the staff with one note
in each voice.  I have tried the following with bad results:

\version 2.12.1

\paper{
  indent=0\in
  line-width=6\in
  oddFooterMarkup=##f
  oddHeaderMarkup=##f
  bookTitleMarkup = ##f
  scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
}

\score {
  \new Staff 
\new Voice = melodyOne {
  \voiceOne
  \relative c' {
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
a'4-5
  }
}
\new Voice = melodyTwo {
  \voiceTwo
  \relative c' {
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
e4-3
  }
}
  
}
inline: test2.tiff

I have tried many variations on the above theme and none of them
give me the results I am looking for.  Any suggestions?

Re: Compiling on Mac OS X

[Kim Shrier]

The problem you are seeing:

Assertion failed: (pt-read_pos == pt-read_end), function  
scm_fill_input, file ports.c, line 978.


has to do with a bug in the scheme code that was fixed yesterday  
afternoon.

If you update your source from the git repository, it should work now.

Also, a better way to handle the problem with configure finding the  
wrong

FlexLexer.h file is to add the line:

   FLEXLEXER_FILE = /opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h

to local.make.  This way when you run the configure script, you will not
need to edit config.make anymore as the value in local.make will  
override

it.

One other problem you will run into is that the Century Schoolbook fonts
will not be found and you need to give configure some help.  When I run
configure, I use the following parameter:

   ./configure --with-ncsb-dir=/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts

I have successfully built lilypond on 10.5 intel.  To summarize the  
steps:


1.  Get the latest sources from the git repository.
2.  Edit local.make to set the FLEXLEXER_FILE variable.
3.  Make sure that /opt/local/bin is in $PATH before /usr/bin
4.  make distclean
5.  ./configure --with-ncsb-dir=/opt/local/share/ghostscript/fonts
6.  make all
7.  sudo make install

Re: Compiling on Mac OS X

The problem is that the configure program finds the wrong FlexLexer.h
file.  Mac OS X comes with a version of flex that is older than the
one needed for lilypond.  If you have installed a newer version of flex,
the FlexLexer.h file you want is not in /usr/include which is the one
that configure will find.  I installed a newer version of flex using the
macports system and the file you want is /opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h

In order to use the correct flex program and include the correct header,
you need to do 2 things:

1. Make sure that /opt/local/bin is in your $PATH environment variable
   before /usr/bin.  This is so that the correct version of flex is

   Make sure this is set properly before running configure.

2. After running the configure script and before you run make, edit the

Speaking as the groff maintainer:

Unfortunately, this doesn't work.  The fonts are embedded as CFFs,
using PostScript Level 3 features: the `FontSetInit' procedure and
`FontSet' resource.  Currently, grops doesn't understand this.  Maybe
I'm going to add this, but I can't promise any time frame.

A workaround is to use

 lilypond test.ly

then calling

 eps2eps test.ps test.eps

to get an EPS file accepted by grops (and thus groff).
High-resolution printing is just fine if you do it like this, but text
embedded in the EPS is converted to outlines, thus all PS hints are
lost, makeing online viewing not optimal.

Thanks.  I had figured out that grops did not support the version of EPS
output by lilypond.  I had not figured out a work around yet.  I will  
try

your suggestion.

Thanks again.

Has anyone had success including lilypond generated EPS files into groff?

[Kim Shrier]

I am using lilypond 2.11.59 on a FreeBSD 6.3 system.

As an experiment, I wanted to create a simple troff document that would
include the EPS output from lilypond.

The lilypond source file is:

\version 2.11.59
\paper{
  indent=0\mm
  oddFooterMarkup=##f
  oddHeaderMarkup=##f
  bookTitleMarkup=##f
  scoreTitleMarkup=##f
  ragged-right=##t
}

{ c1 }


The troff file is:

This is a test of including a postscript file in a troff document.

.PSPIC test.eps

followed by some more text.



I use the following command to make the test.eps file:

lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts  
test.ly



When I try to run groff (version 1.19.2) on my troff file, I get the
following 2 messages:

grops:test.eps:16: unknown resource type
grops:test.eps:17: unknown resource type


The offending lines in test.eps are:

%%IncludeResource: ProcSet (FontSetInit)
%%BeginResource: FontSet (Emmentaler-20)


If I ignore these messages and try to convert the ps file output
to pdf, I get the following errors.

I want to print bar numbers every 5 measures

[Kim Shrier]

Hello,

I must be missing something obvious.  I have been trying to get lilypond
2.9.14 to print bar numbers every 5 measures instead of at the beginning
of each line.  I have read the manual and looked at the example in
bar-number-every-five-reset.ly but everything I have tried either has no
effect or makes bar numbers disappear entirely.

Below is the source of the song I am typesetting.  I would like bar  
numbers
to show above the top staff every 5 measures.  Any help would be  
appreciated.




\include treble-one.ly
\include treble-two.ly
\include tenor-one.ly
\include tenor-two.ly
\include bass-one.ly
\include bass-two.ly

\header{
title = 6 part consort music
}

\paper {
#(set-paper-size letter)
}

\score {
\new StaffGroup \relative 
\new Staff {
\tempo 2=50
\TrebleOne
}
\new Staff { \TrebleTwo }
\new Staff { \TenorOne }
\new Staff { \TenorTwo }
\new Staff { \BassOne }
\new Staff { \BassTwo }


\layout {

\Score
\override BarNumber #'padding = #3
\override RehearsalMark #'padding = #2
skipBars = ##t
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists Ambitus_engraver
}
}

\midi {
\tempo 2=50
}
}

\version 2.9.14

Thanks.  That solved the misconception.

Yep!  ;-)


I have read the manual and looked at the example in
bar-number-every-five-reset.ly


But your code doesn't include the parts of that example which are  
necessary to affect change you want!!??


e.g., the \context Score \applyContext... stuff in this edited  
version:


%%%  CODE BEGINS
\version 2.9.14

\header{
title = 6 part consort music
}

\paper {
#(set-paper-size letter)
}

twentyBars =
{
	\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #end-of-line- 
invisible  %% turn off auto-numbering
	\context Score \applyContext #(set-bar-number-visibility 4)  %%   
first num @ 5

\repeat unfold 4 { c4 c c c }
	\context Score \applyContext #(set-bar-number-visibility 5)  %%   
num @ every 5

\repeat unfold 16 { c4 c c c }
}

\score
{
\new ChoirStaff \relative

\new Staff { \twentyBars }
 \new Staff { \twentyBars }
 \new Staff { \twentyBars }
 \new Staff { \twentyBars }
 \new Staff { \twentyBars }
 \new Staff { \twentyBars }


\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override BarNumber #'padding = #3
\override RehearsalMark #'padding = #2
skipBars = ##t
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists Ambitus_engraver
}
}

}
%%%  CODE ENDS

Hope this helps!
Kieren.

p.s. Note that I changed your StaffGroup to a ChoirStaff in my  
version -- that's what I would use, because barlines carry through  
an entire StaffGroup, and sometimes interfere with the lyrics...

Re: PFA fonts not found in 1.7.9?

[Kim Shrier]

You are doing nothing wrong.  There is a bug in ly2dvi that prevents it from
finding the pfa fonts.  I have sent in a patch, which I am including 
with this
email, that fixes the problem.

Hi:

I'm using 1.7.9 -- after the initial installation, I've made the pfa 
fonts with make pfa-fonts  make pfa-fonts install.

When I issue the 'ly2dvi -p example.ly' command, I get:

ly2dvi: warning: Trying create PDF, but no PFA fonts found.
 Using bitmap fonts instead. This will look poorly

Any clues as to what I'm doing wrong?

Re: Modifying multi-measure rests

[Kim Shrier]

I have made some source patches against multi-measure-rest-engraver.cc and
multi-measure-rest.cc to modify the rest used to represent 1 measure in a
multi-measure rest.  It uses the value of the measureLength property to
determine if it should use a whole or breve rest.  If the length of the
a measure is a breve or more, it uses a breve.  Otherwise it uses a whole
rest like it normally does.  I am including patches against both 1.6.5 and
1.7.2 as well as mmrest_test.ly which shows the behaviour.  I would 
appreciate
any feedback you might have on these changes.

One other question.  In measure 206, the dotted whole rest places the dot
in the space above the rest.  This is how lilypond typeset this before I
made any changes.  Is this the desired result?  Shouldn't the dot be in
the space next to the rest?

Thanks
Kim

 Hello,
I am new to LilyPond and I have a question about the best way to 
 approach
 a problem.  I am typesetting some music and the time signature is 4/2.  I
 would like to modify the behaviour of multi-measure rests to use a breve
 rest to represent 1 measure instead of a whole rest since the duration of
 1 measure is a breve.  I have looked at the church_rest method in
 multi-measure-rest.cc and I think I see how to modify it as well as the
 symbol_molecule method.  I would also have to define a parameter to get
 the information to these methods so they would know whether they were 
 using
 a whole or breve rest as their base.  This seems like a lot of work.

 Since one of the nice things about LilyPond is how flexible it is and you
 have hooks to get at almost everything, I was wondering if there is a 
 better
 way to approach this problem.  As I said earlier, I am new to LilyPond 
 and
 I don't have a good feel for what is possible without modifying the 
 source.

 Thanks,
 Kim
