single system output in 2.24

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Henning,


So, please: Is there a way to still get single-system PDFs?



maybe you need to call LilyPond with additional parameters like
    -dtall-page-formats=eps,png,pdf
or -
    dseparate-page-formats=eps,png,pdf

AFAIK the latter is for the single systems.
Here is where I got this information from:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6235
Hope this helps...

Ideally, I think applying it to a chord (something like \cowellCluster
4) would be the ideal solution. It also does not handle whole
notes, as those do not have stems to be hacked. If I come up with
something interesting I will make sure to post it here.


please have a look at the link to the German forum (the thread there
continues in English):
https://lilypondforum.de/index.php/topic,820.msg4546.html?PHPSESSID=6djk9rm3a7m81mmuqu25mjiehb#msg4546

New OOoLilyPond features: asking for feedback

[Klaus Blum]

Dear LilyPond community,

there are some new features for OOoLilyPond, the extension for
LibreOffice and OpenOffice.
In short:
- can now also be used in Calc spreadsheets
- batch processing now also possible in Calc, Impress and Draw
- "keep size & crop settings" now is a per-object setting.
Also, some changes to the config dialog were necessary for that.

I'd like to hear your feedback:
Are those features usable, intuitive, ...
Thanks for any comment!

Here is a pre-release:

I will be opening the newly revivified openLilyLib repository in the
next couple of weeks. I'm sorry I have not been able to do it
instantly! It would be great if you could come back over there. I am
trying hard to unify the OLL project so that we don't have the
balkanisation and fragmentation of LilyPond into many individual git
repos. I feel this makes it hard for end users. Tell a beginning user
they have to fetch from five or six git repos and they likely won't
stay with it long.


Please don't feel pushed or criticized in any way. Thanks for taking over the 
maintainership!

OOoLilyPond has never been an OLL package and therefore always has been 
somewhat out of place in the repo. In the past, Urs already thought about 
placing it somewhere else.
Or course I will stay on board and continue my work on anaLYsis.

OOoLilyPond: new repository

[Klaus Blum]

Dear LilyPond community,

OOoLilyPond, the extension for LibreOffice and OpenOffice, has a new home:
https://github.com/OOoLilyPond

In the last few years, it was located inside the openLilyLib repo at
GitHub (which is now orphaned as openLilyLib has moved to GitLab).
Therefore I decided to create a repo of its own.

Apart from that, everything about OOoLilyPond stays the same... except
for a new release with some minor changes.  :-)

Have fun and stay safe,

Re: good practices regarding page breaks -- full score and parts

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Leszek,

Am 15.10.2020 um 15:13 schrieb lilypond-user-requ...@gnu.org:

I would like to put pagebreaks in specific places in
the full score, so that they would not operate when parts are compiled.


I can confirm all the replies that recommend include files and invisible
voices. (I truly should learn how to use the edition engraver, but still
didn't find the time.)

This is what I've been using so far:

% -- definitions.ily --
\version "2.20.0"

violin_voice = { c'1 d' e' f' g' a' b' }

cello_voice = { \clef bass  c1 d e f g a b }

break_voice = {  % "invisible voice"
  s1 s  \bar "||" \mark "A" s s
  \pb
  s s s \bar "|."
}
% -

The invisible voice also cares about bar lines, rehearsal marks etc.
\pb still needs to be defined. For the score, it's "\pageBreak" while
for the parts, it simply does nothing:

% -- score.ly --
\version "2.20.0"
pb = \pageBreak
\include "definitions.ily"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff << \violin_voice \break_voice >>
    \new Staff << \cello_voice \break_voice >>
  >>
}
% --

% -- parts.ly --
\version "2.20.0"
pb = {} % does nothing
\include "definitions.ily"

\markup "Violin part:"
\score {
  \new Staff << \violin_voice \break_voice >>
}

\markup "Cello part:"
\score {
  \new Staff << \cello_voice \break_voice >>
}
% --

...not perfect, but simple.  :-)
Hope this helps.

Re: lilypond-user Digest, Vol 215, Issue 44

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Andrew,

thanks for taking over the OLL management. In the last few weeks I did
not have much time to follow the discussions on the list. Seems I've
missed something important...

I think OLL is a valuable tool that is definitely worth to be kept
alive. In the past, I have made some contributions to the anaLYsis
package and the LibreOffice extension "OOoLilyPond" (which is hosted in
the OLL repo as well), and of course I'd like to continue this work.

May I ask if there is a special reason to move to Gitlab? Wouldn't it be
easier just to keep the existing repo at Github?

Re: music symbols in LibreOffice

Can I use the Lilypond extension in LibreOffice to achieve such purposes?

If you want to make sure it looks exactly as in a LilyPond score, you
can create a short score and hide everything except the tempo indication.

Create an OLy snippet based on the "School demo" template and just
copy-paste the following lines into the code field:

% -
{
  \new RhythmicStaff
  \tempo 4=60
}
\layout {
  \context {
    \RhythmicStaff
    \override Clef.stencil = ##f

This should do the trick.

Re: Current octave in relative mode

[Klaus Blum]

Peace be with you, guys...   ;-)

The OP's eXample is more complicated but as
far as I can tell
this is what he's aiming at.


Of course, I did some experimenting on my own before asking here on the
list.
I was aware that the problem only appears if I use my function inside a
\relative statement, but not (as far as I remember) if I start a
\relative expression at the same moment the function is called. And, of
course, no problem in absolute mode.

I was hoping to to find a solution that can deal with all of the above
situations and the user doesn't have to care. That's why David's
solution is perfect for my aim.

I also have seen Han-Wen's function, but I could not test if it fits my
needs. It did not compile without errors. Maybe it doesn't work with
recent LY versions, maybe it was a mistake by me...

Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm glad this list exists and I know
where to find help.

Current octave in relative mode

[Klaus Blum]

Hi,

I have a function that uses a music expression twice.
My problem is:
In relative mode, this expression can lead into a different octave. Then
the second application of the music expression starts from that new octave.
(See the last two invocations of "\highlight" in the example below)

Is there something I can do INSIDE my function to prevent this? E.g.
storing and re-applying the current octave? Thanks for any hint.  :)


% 
highlight =
#(define-music-function (mus)
   (ly:music?)
   #{
     <<
       $mus
       \makeClusters $mus
     >>
   #})

\new Staff {
  \highlight { c'8 d' e' f' g' a' b' c'' }
  \relative c' {
    c1  \highlight { c8 d e f g f e d }
    c1  \highlight { c8 d e f g a b c }
    c1  \highlight { f,4 e d c }
    c1
  }

You can put an invisible rest in parallel and attach your markup to it:

% -
<<
  \chordmode { c,,1:3.5.8 }
  {s1^\markup "Var. 1"}
>>

\chordmode { 
  c,,2:3.5.8 d,,2:3.5.8 e,,4:3.5.8 f,,2
  % /+c:3.5.8  
  r4   \bar "|."
}
% -

BTW: Ly 2.19.83 complained of the expression 
f,,2/+c:3.5.8  
That's why i commented it out. AFAIK after the slash you can only add a bass
note but no other pitches after a colon.

If you don't need MIDI output  from your Ly file, you can put invisible
rests into the chords: 

% ---
\version "2.19.83"

<<
  \new ChordNames \chordmode {
c1
s4 f s s
  }
  \new Staff \relative c' {
\repeat unfold 8 {c4} 
  }
>>
% ---

Am I right that you don't want the chord symbols you've put in parentheses? 
If you want an output like  |  C   | (C) F  | you can write
c1 \parenthesize c4 f2.

This file is a part of a complete LilyPond installation. 
On Windows, it is located inside the LilyPond program folder, in the
subfolder
/usr/share/lilypond/current/ly
On Linux and Mac, instead of "current", you will probably find a version
number. 
Inside this folder, there should be a file named
lilypond-book-preamble.ly

Your screenshots show no error message about this file missing, so I guess
you will find it there. 

Let's do another test: 
In the OOoLilyPond window, click the button "Open as temp. file in ext.
editor"
The Frescobaldi opens a file "OOoLilyPondTemp.ly"
Can you compile this file in Frescobaldi an make a screenshot again? 
Let's see if a whole page is produced again or a small snippet. 

Cheers, 
Klaus

Version 0.4.0 and 0.5.0 are very old. You should remove them and try again
with the latest stable version 0.5.12. 

Could you then provide the screenshots mentioned above? 
And: 
After inserting the full-page object, please start OOoLilyPond again and
click the "Ly Output" button. Now a new window will open. Please add a
screenshot of that as well. 

I hope this will provide enough information to find the problem.  :)

There is still a problem when the template or the Ly code does not contain
the command
  #(define version-seen #t)
or
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
and there is no \version statement in the code. 

I hope I can soon fix this.

When modifying templates or writing new templates, one of the mentioned
commands should be contained, depending on the image format you use. Then
this error will not occur. 

Probably a solution for your problem from the other tread will solve this
one as well.

it seems that your template or your snippet is missing

This command is responsible for auto-cropping the image. 

Maybe this is related to the image file format you have chosen. You can find
more information here:

Could you post a screenshot of your OOoLilyPond window and your OOoLilyPond

Re: Specifying \language for a single book

Sandro Santilli-2 wrote

Hmmm, that sounds difficult. I assume your leadSheet contains chords and
staves like e.g.

% ---
leadSheet = {
  <<
\new ChordNames {
  % \italianChords   % maybe yes, maybe no...
  \chordmode {
c1 g
  }
}
\new Staff {
  \relative c' {
c4 d e f   g1
  }
}
  >>
}
% ---

AFAIK this definition is static and I know no override that could change
things at a later time. 
[To anybody reading this: Please correct me if I'm wrong.  ;-)  ]

But you could turn your "leadSheet" variable into a music function that
takes a boolean parameter telling if to use italian chords or not: 

% -
\version "2.19.83"

leadSheet = #(define-music-function (useItalianChords) (boolean?)
  #{
<<
  \new ChordNames {
#(if useItalianChords #{ \italianChords #})
c1 g
  }
  \new Staff \relative c' {
c4 d e f   g1
  }
>>
  #}
  )


\book {
  \bookOutputSuffix "G"
  \header { subtitle = "(G)" }
  \score {
\transpose c b
\leadSheet ##f
  }
}

\book {
  \bookOutputSuffix "F"
  \header { subtitle = "(F)" }
  \score {
\transpose c a
\leadSheet ##f
  }
}

\book {
  \bookOutputSuffix "F-ita"
  \header { subtitle = "(F)" }
  \score {
\transpose c a
\leadSheet ##t
  }
} 
% -

Another possibility would be to define separate variables for your chords
and notes:

% ---
\version "2.19.83"

leadSheetChords = \chordmode {
  c1 g
}

leadSheetNotes = \relative c' {
  c4 d e f   g1
}

% In your \book parts, use this construction:

{
  <<
\new ChordNames {
  \italianChords   % maybe yes, maybe no...
  \leadSheetChords
}
\new Staff {
  \leadSheetNotes
}
  >>
}
% ---

the \language command is used to tell LilyPond what notes (or chord roots)
you want. 
To control the way LilyPond displays them, you might need commands like
\italianChords, \germanChords etc.:

% 
\version "2.19.83"

  \new ChordNames \chordmode { c1 a:m f g }
  \new ChordNames \chordmode { \italianChords c1 a:m f g }

Hello all,

in the last few days I've built a new development version of OLy:

Now there is batch processing with search-and-replace, splitting up objects
into separate images for each system... and some more things.

I just searched the list archive and found that (limited to 2 arguments) it

   (interpret-markup layout props

when I was writing the "double" function, I was heavily improvising because
I didn't yet know the \overlay command (or it was not available in older
LilyPond versions). 

A more reliable way would now be: 

% 
#(define-markup-command (double layout props letter)
   (markup?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
 #{
   \markup{
 \overlay {
   $letter
   \translate-scaled #'(0.4 . -0.4)
   $letter
 }
   }
 #}))
% 

The pair of numbers after \translate-scaled exactly defines the shift of the
additional letter. 
If you don't want additional parameters for the "\double" function, maybe
the use of properties might be an option: 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/extending-big-page#on-properties

I never tried that, but it looks interesting.

LilyPond does not embed fonts in svg output. Is this possible in general,

lilypond-book-preamble.ly only works with the eps backend, not with the svg
one. 

AFAIK, there have been questions and discussions on the list about both of

On my PC, this creates a SVG file that even Inkscape cannot read. 
I already experimented with 
inkscape -z -f input.pdf -l output.svg
but the resulting graphic is incomplete.

The thing is that Inkscape should be forced to use Poppler/Cairo instead of
its own internal library. 
Is there a command that can achieve that?

New option for OOoLilyPond: PDF to SVG

[Klaus Blum]

Dear OOoLilyPond users, 

I'm planning to add a new option to OOoLilyPond. 

At the moment, we only have the choice between three file formats: 
- PNG is a bitmap format with the obvious quality drawbacks. 
- EPS can only be used with OpenOffice (not LibreOffice) and cannot be
displayed on screen. 
- SVG offers good quality but requires quite some tweaking (described in 
http://lilypondblog.org/2018/02/ooolilypond-part-2-optimizing/
  ). Most
obvious drawback: You cannot use lilypond-book-preamble.ly

PDF would be the ideal choice for an output format, but LibreOffice cannot
(yet?) import PDF files with satisfying quality. 

Now (why did I take so long?...) I had the idea to call an external program
to convert LilyPond's PDF output into SVG which then can be imported into
LibreOffice. 
Most obvious advantage: You can work with any template, just like it works
with PNG and EPS. No need for dedicated SVG templates.
My first test look very promising. 

In Linux, it seems to be quite easy: You can use pdf2svg which can be
installed with any packet manager. (Am I right?)

With Windows, it looks (as always?) more complicated: 
We need additional software capable to perform a command-line conversion
from PDF to SVG. It must be installed by the user, and OOoLilyPond needs to
know the exact command line to be called. 
In a forum post ( http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=30252
  ) i found that
Inkscape cannot yet do that, but there is a "standalone" version of Poppler
that can be used: 
http://blog.alivate.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/poppler-0.68.0_x86.7z
  
While I still don't know whether to recommend a software that I don't know,
I've tried it and it performs allright.

For Mac, I don't have any idea. My knowledge about Macs is exactly zero.


Am I still missing something? Do you have any more thoughts, ideas,
recommendations, experiences, ... ?

Cheers, 
Klaus

at the Musikhochschule Mannheim, we were only taught some basic roman

OK, enough complaining...  ;-)

I'm happy if that snippet can be useful for other people. Unfortunately,
it's not very user-friendly because all I can handle is ordinary markup
functions with ordinary parameters. 
However, Urs has so often succeeded in finding reasonable interfaces for
stuff like that. If I can help, please let me know. 

I remeber having re-written some of the functions adding a check for empty
string parameters. IIRC that was to prevent different results between pdf

TonsatzDef.ily
  

I'd be glad to help turning that into another OLL module.

Re: OOoLilyPond-0.5.8 : SVG Issue

[Klaus Blum]

Hi Ben, 

to be a little more precise: 

The lilypond-book-preamble should never be used with svg format. It only
works with the png (or eps) format. 

OLy needs one file named OOoLilyPond.svg.

The first point of the error window gives some hints. 
Your settings defining the score size (e.g. given in "Line Width" and
"Custom 2" - depending on your template) should provide enough space to fit
your music into one page. 
If not, LilyPond will split it up into multiple images. In that case, the
"Ly Output" window will talk about successful compilation and at least two
filenames 

OOoLilyPond-1.svg
OOoLilyPond-2.svg
etc. 

If your code contains something like "page-count = 1" (e.g. the "Piano
[SVG]" template does), no image at all will be created. Then the output
window will report successful compiling but also errors like 
 number of pages is out of bounds
 tried to space systems on a bad number of pages

In both cases, try to provide more space in the OLy settings. 

Does that help?

Cheers, 
Klaus

Re: Why is spacing wrong before command?

Hi Reggie, 


Reggie wrote

The \newSpacingSection command only ensures that there are two separate
sections which can have their own spacing. If you want, you can
independently tweak them with overrides.

The second section from the example mainly consists of 16th notes and
therefore has a wider spacing. 
In the first section, the amount of 16th notes in the whole section is very
small, so spacing is narrower because there are mainly 8th notes. 

So the overall effect is that \newSpacingSection prevents the first section
being widened because of the 16ths in the last bar.

"lyd" is short for "lydian". Thy lydian scale is almost equal to the major

Thanks for your suggestion. 
Unfortunately, I'm looking for a solution that works automatically, as I'm
trying to build a function:

Anybody here with some knowledge about clusters? They seem to be written in

new voice with cluster changes horizontal spacing

[Klaus Blum]

Hi everybody, 

I want to have some clusters along with the notes in the same staff. 
However, if the clusters are preceeded by a "\new Voice" command, the
horizontal spacing changes. 
Does anybody know why this happens and how I can avoid it? 
Removing the "\new Voice" command would help, but I need to create a
dedicated voice. 

% -
\new Staff {
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
  <<
{c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
\new Voice 
\makeClusters {c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'}
  >>
  c'4 d' e' f' g' f' e' d'
}
% -

Thanks for any hint. 
Klaus

if you want to keep the barlines between the staves, you can simply use the
\whiteout command: 

% -
\new PianoStaff {

\new Staff \relative c' {c1_\markup \whiteout "blahblahblah" c}

Re: \magnifyMusic omits unison notes in \partcombine?

Manuela wrote

Optional chord-range sets the distance in steps between notes that may be
combined into a chord or unison.
(From the LilyPond NR, this is new in 2.19)

\partcombine #'(2 . 9) ... indicates that the smallest interval to be
combined is a third (2 steps). Seconds (1 step) and unison (0 steps) are
excluded. 
\partcombine #'(0 . 9) ... would work as well.

that's because the upper voice needs a dotted note head while the lower

You can force LilyPond to merge them anyway using \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn:

% ---
\version "2.19.33"

upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \time 4/4
  \mergeDifferentlyDottedOn

I'm really no expert on this topic, but I once got some help from David
Nalesnik for snippet 1000:

\override HorizontalBracket.stencil =
$(lambda (grob)
   (let* (
   (open-on-left  (=  1 (ly:item-break-dir (ly:spanner-bound grob
LEFT 
   (open-on-right (= -1 (ly:item-break-dir (ly:spanner-bound grob

 ; ...do some more stuff...
 ))

The NR tells about those to functions:

Function: ly:item-break-dir it
The break status direction of item it. -1 means end of line, 0 unbroken,
and 1 beginning of line. 

Function: ly:spanner-bound spanner dir
Get one of the bounds of spanner. dir is -1 for left, and 1 for right. 


Hope that helps.

basically the structure would be like this:

  \new ChordNames { ... }
  ...

But please consider that you will need more horizontal space, because the
different choruses lose their individual spacing. Therefore I reduced the
staff size to prevent an automatic line break. 
Nevertheless, having strictly proportional spacing would eat up even more
space.

Different Rehearsal marks at the same time are only possible by moving the
Mark_engraver to the ChordNames context. Instead, I "abused" instrumentName.

The installation program offered to deinstall or repair-install the

I've tried to repair it (no luck), afterwards to deinstall and

Re: ANN: OOoLilyPond 0.5.0

[Klaus Blum]

Another thought about graphic file formats: 

The brand new LibreOffice supports importing PDF graphics, *but* embedded
fonts are not yet recognized, which makes this feature not (yet?) usable for
LilyPond-created PDFs. If this changes in the forseable future, using PDF
format might solve all our problems. 

The developer of this LO feature has already made some changes:
https://disqus.com/home/discussion/vmiklos/insert_pdf_as_image_in_libreoffice_53_01/
Maybe his comment means that in LO 5.4.0.0 this might be solved.

There is also a bug report on the LO buglist:
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106203
A comment there sounds as if someone could confirm the same bug for LO
5.4.0.0... that's all I know about that for the moment.

yes, that's a known limitation of LibreOffice. EPS graphics only work in
OpenOffice (Windows), which is not preferred by everyone.   ;-) 
But we now have SVG versions for all templates inherited from 0.4.0, and
working without the auto-crop feature might be easier than it seems at the

ANN: OOoLilyPond 0.5.0

[Klaus Blum]

Dear LilyPond community, 

I am happy to announce a new version of OOoLilyPond - an extension for
LibreOffice/OpenOffice. 
OOoLilyPond enables you to enter LilyPond code from within your Office
document. Both the resulting image and its source code will be embedded
within the document. No need to keep any additional files other than the
Writer/Draw/Impress document itself.

The project has been unmaintained during the last few years. With the
agreement of the original author, the development of the project is now
continued under the roof of openlilylib.org:
https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly/releases


Changes since v. 0.4.0:

*   fixed: Runtime error "Variable not defined: line 40 CurserPosition=1"
*   additional include paths can be specified
*   added button to save the current code into temporary file and open it in
external editor
*   added button to re-import code from temporary file back to editor window
*   added support for the use of SVG graphics format (please read the
verbose release notes)
*   fixed: wrong size of vector graphics in Impress/Draw
*   size and crop settings of existing graphics can be preserved
*   user now can choose between two different ways to import graphic into
document
*   font name and font size for editor windows can be specified
*   user interface can be translated into other languages


Compatibility:

OOoLilyPond (OLy) works with recent versions of LibreOffice (5.3.0.3) and
OpenOffice (4.1.3). Older versions should work as well. It has even been
tested with OpenOffice 2.4 without issues.

Any content (LilyPond code, templates, OLy configuration files) created
with/for OLy 0.4.x will work with OLy 0.5.x - and vice versa. (Fully
compatible, forward and backward.)
Older snippets created with OLy 0.3.x will also work with 0.4.x and 0.5.x,
but not (necessarily) vice versa.


Direct download:
https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly/releases/download/0.5.0/OOoLilyPond-0.5.0.oxt
Verbose release notes:
https://github.com/openlilylib/LO-ly/releases/download/0.5.0/OOoLilyPond-0.5.0-Release-Notes.txt

The project is also listed in the official extension centers for LibreOffice
and OpenOffice:
https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/ooolilypond
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/ooolilypond

I hope this will be useful for many people. 

Cheers, 
Klaus

IIUC he doesn't mind having some kind of preparation in the input file:

Once the input file is finished, it can be left "as is". Compilation results
afterwards only depend on the contents of the include file. That should be
suitable even for automated batch processing.

Coloring white leaves invisible but useless stuff at the bottom. 
So maybe better:

% -- color.ily 
#(define-markup-command (tagline-color layout props text)
   (markup?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
 #{
   \markup{ \transparent $text }
 #}))
% -

% == main document 
\paper {ragged-last-bottom = ##f}
\header {
  tagline = \markup \tagline-color { use \rotate #90 so
much space }
}
{
  \repeat unfold 10 {c'1 \break}
}

I once read that you are used to work with include files. 
How about that: Put only the color definition into a separate include file:

% -- color.ily 
tagline-color = #blue  % or whatever color
% -

% == main document 
\include "color.ily"
\header {
  tagline = \markup \with-color \tagline-color "Here is the tagline -
visible or not"
}
{c'}

Does that work?

Re: Vocal scores with extra staves

Hi Andrew, 

welcome to the List!  :-)

It will be easier to align the lyrics to a voice that exists from the very
beginning. In your example, I've put the unison part into the same voice as
the soprano part.

In such cases, it's better to explicitely start a new staff instead of
having LilyPond do that automatically. Now you can control positions with
alignAboveContext or alignBelowContext.

As you can see, this can get pretty complicated. With your "real" verses
being longer than just two bars, maybe it's easier to start all staves from
the beginning and just working with \RemoveEmptyStaves.

Re: Png cropping

Hi Renato, hi Andrew,

Andrew Bernard wrote

The auto-cropping features only work with the EPS backend which can also be
used to generate PNG or PDF output. 
Making use of 
\include "lilypond-book-preamble.ly"
has the same effect.

I'm afraid that it won't work out of the box. The cropping seems to take
place after the image is composed and doesn't care about margin or indent
settings. 
My only idea would be to place invisible stuff around like, 
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup \with-color #white "X"
but I don't think this will result in a usable workflow.

Maybe it's easier to add margins with an image editor that has automatic
batch processing like IrfanView.

there is no function to be redefined, such as chordRootNamer or

In chord-name.scm, there is a function

but I don't know how to tweak that without changing your whole LP

it seems that the shift is caused by the invisible c notehead in your

Re: OOoLilyPond

[Klaus Blum]

, because everything else 
from the template (including other fields, e.g. staff size) is missing. 

The "Open as temp. file in Ext. Editor" will therefore merge the contents of 
the editor fields into the template code and save the result to a temporary 
file "OOoLilyPondTemp.ly", which is now fully compilable. 
This file will be opened in the editor specified in the config dialog.
Your changes must be saved to that file.

The "Import from temp. file" button will read "OOoLilyPondTemp.ly" and update 
the contents of the code field and the "LineWidth", "Staff Size", "Custom1" and 
"Custom2" fields in the editor window.
Important: Only those five fields are updated. Changes to other parts of the 
template will be ignored! 
(If necessary, you can create your own templates or modify existing ones.) 


4.) Support for EPS/PNG/SVG graphics format


In the config dialog, OOoLilyPond lets you choose whether to use EPS, PNG or 
SVG graphics format. 
However, there are some restrictions:


PNG should work fine with both office versions (OpenOffice, LibreOffice) on 
both platforms (Linux, Windows). But as PNG is a bitmap format, it does not 
look as good as EPS or SVG when printed on paper. 


EPS does *not* work with LibreOffice. (Maybe this can be fixed in LibreOffice 
versions later than 5.2.4.2 - who knows...) 
It works fine with OpenOffice 4.1.3, even if the graphics are not visible in 
the OpenOffice window. If you "print" your document with a suitable pdf 
printer, e.g. FreePDF ( http://freepdfxp.de/index_en.html ), the resulting pdf 
output file will be correct. 


SVG will only work with LibreOffice and *not* with OpenOffice. 
For SVG use, some more things have to be considered: 

* Most OOoLilyTemplates use "lilypond-book-preamble.ly" which *only* works with 
EPS or PNG format, and *not* with SVG (in that case, no graphics output file is 
produced). 

* You can use the templates "SVG Default" and "SVG Direct to LilyPond" with SVG 
format. 
However, without lilypond-book-preamble.ly, there is no automatic cropping of 
the resulting image. 
Therefore, you must specify the "paper" size for your LilyPond snippet in 
advance. As line-width must be given anyway, only the paper height would have 
to be found by trial-and-error. So maybe this isn't as bad as is sounds... 
By the way: in LibreOffice, you can manually crop the image after inserting.

* If LilyPond uses fonts that are not installed on your system, they won't show 
up correctly in the resulting SVG image. Therefore, the two SVG templates have 
some preparation to replace LilyPond's default fonts. 


By the way: Using a macro to import vector graphics (EPS, SVG) into OpenOffice 
Draw or LibreOffice Draw, the image has only about 40% of its original size. 
Importing the same graphics file via the menu preserves the original image 
size. No idea what's going on here...


5.) Two different ways to import graphic into document 
---

Up to Version 0.4.0, graphics were imported to the clipboard and then pasted 
into the document. In LibreOffice, this can cause problems, e.g. when inserting 
as SVG into Draw. 
For 0.4.1, the developer provided a new method for direct inserting without 
clipboard use. In OpenOffice it can happen that temporary graphic files are not 
released after use and therefore cannot be deleted. In LibreOffice it works 
fine. 
In 0.4.2 both methods are offered. The option dialog lets you define which 
method to use in Writer and which one for Draw/Impress.




What if I get an error "There is no EPS/PNG/SVG output"?
-

You can read LilyPond's compiler messages by clicking the "Ly Output" button. 

* Do you have severe errors in your LilyPond code?
You can also jump to the reported errors with the "arrow" buttons at the bottom 
left of the editor window.

* Did you try to produce SVG output, and your template uses 
"lilypond-book-preamble.ly" (see above)? The preamble prevents the creation of 
a SVG file.

* In SVG mode, if your "paper" size for the music snippet is too small, 
LilyPond will split up its output into multiple images named 
"OOoLilyPond-page-1.svg", "OOoLilyPond-page-2.svg" etc. Those are not 
recognized, hence the error message. 

You can also specify "page-count = 1" to prevent the creation of multiple 
images. But if your paper size is to small, there's no image at all. 
Check Ly output for messages like "tried to space systems on a bad number of 
pages" or "number of pages is out of bounds".

that happens because each \addlyrics command starts a new lyrics context. If

just like different stanzas. 
I don't know how to prevent that. But you could a single context that

I completely forgot to talk about EPS, I only did in an earlier post. EPS
didn't work for me on LO, only on OO. 
SVG mode should work as long as you don't use lilypond-book-preamble which
is "hidden" in most of the templates.

maybe I made some mistakes in composing the oxt file. 
Here is another attempt. This time I took the version 0.4.0 oxt file and
only replaced the updated ingredients. On my LO 5.2.4.2/Win7 it now shows up
as expected. 
BTW: Even with the original 0.4.0, I did not get any automatic creation of a
menu entry or toolbar button. I had to manually create a button and link the
correct marco with it (see picture). 
I don't know if there is some secret I have missed...

Does it work now?

Re: OOoLilyPond

[Klaus Blum]

Hi again, 

recently I've done some homework...  ;-)
I've tried to make some additions, and the result is
OOoLilyPond-0.4.2rc1.oxt - see attached.
OOoLilyPond-0.oxt
  

Notice: This is based on the most "recent" release OOoLilyPond-0.4.1rc1.oxt
from 2009 which isn't on the official site, but you can find it here: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/ooolilypond/discussion/614285/thread/d200563d/

On Windows, it worked fine with LibreOffice, but not with OpenOffice.

New features: 

1.) It's now possible to add include paths in the config dialog. 

2.) Ability to save the current code to a temporary LY file and open it in
an external editor, e.g. Frescobaldi. The path to the executable can be
customized in the config dialog. Another button re-imports code from the
temporary file back to the editor window. 

3.) LilyPond's svg backend still doesn't support lilypond-book-preamble.ly
would be needed for auto-cropping. 
Any current attempt to use OLy with svg format must work without
lilypond-book-preamble.ly, e.g. with the "Direct to Lilypond" template.
Paper size must be found by trial-and-error. As line-width must be given
anyway, only the paper height would have to be a guess, which is maybe not
that bad. 
Also, text fonts seem to be replaced - don't know where and why. Is there
already a discussion about that?
That being said: I've added svg support, and on Windows 7 I had no problems
with the graphics import. 

It would be cool if someone also could test it on Linux and report errors.
I've added two templates to play with. 
Attempt.ly   
Attempt2.ly   

Cheers, 
Klaus

P.S.: I hope the attachments work, as I'm posting from nabble:

Agreed! 
I've always wondered why nobody added that option to OLy. Now I know: 

To auto-crop the images, OLy relies on lilypond-book-preamble.ly which only
works with the EPS backend. 
There's already a thread for that problem, but no solution:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/How-does-the-lilypond-book-preamble-work-td191523.html

It seems that lilypond-book-preamble.ly has lots of abilities... most of
which are not needed here. We only need to auto-crop the resulting image. 
Maybe someone knows how to achieve that?

Hmmm... I just installed LibreOffice 5.2.4.2 and had no luck with .eps
graphics. In OpenOffice 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 it works. That's what I'm using

Right now I'm trying to add an option to use .svg in OooLilyPond.

I can only speak for OpenOffice, but I guess it works in a similar way on
LibreOffice, so here we go: 

Open the OooLilyPond macro, just as you did before. 
There you have some tabs called "Config", "Editor", "LilyPond" etc. 
Select the tab called "GUI_Editor" and you get the main OLy window. 
Click on the editor pane to select it. Now right-click on it, a context menu
should offer to edit its properties. 
Here you can change the font and/or font size. 
Somewhere in the macro editor there should also be a button or menu entry to
save your changes. 

Does that work?

I have OpenOffice 4.1.3 and OooLilyPond 0.4.0 running on Windows 7, and I
use them a lot. 
Everything works fine as long as I use LilyPond 2.18.2, but I never got it
to work with any 2.19 version. 

Apparently, LP 2.18 produces an EPS file and converts it into a PNG file.
Both files are kept. 
With LP 2.19 (invoked by the same command) there is no EPS file with the
same file name. 

Unfortunately, OooLilyPond always checks the presence of the EPS file (and
exits if there's none), no matter if it's told to use the PNG or the EPS
file. 
The easiest way I found was to change the way LilyPond is called, in a way
that there really is an EPS file present. 

In the OooLilyPond macros, there is a section "LilyPond" containing a
function named "CallLilyPond()". 
For composing the Windows command, there is a line that reads: 

--
sCommand = sCommand & " " & sBackendOpt & " -f png -dresolution=" &
iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1" (10)
--

This line should be replaced by: 

--
sCommand = sCommand & " -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png " & sBackendOpt
& " -dresolution=" & iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1"
(10)
--

I've tested that with LP 2.18.2, LP 2.19.37 and LP 2.19.51, and it worked
with all three versions. 
By the way, I have no idea of how to use the command line parameters...
instead, I simply experimented with Frescobaldi and "stole" its output.  ;-)

I hope that this information is useful for some people. OooLilyPond is a
great tool and has literally saved my life so many times. 

Cheers, 
Klaus

P.S.: Interestingly enough, the error showed up as complaining about an
unknown variable named "CurserPosition", but that seems to be another
story...
