how to engrave
Dear all, I am trying to figure out how to include the so called Fm(maj7) chord. With the standard modifiers: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/common-chord-modifiers I am not able to able to reach it. The desired ukulele tab (in the standard GCEA tuning) is included. How can one engrave this kind of thing? Thank you very much in advance for the help! -- Matej ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I think the LSR is a place for a lot of study. Thanks. Bill Thank you guys. These tricks work for me (after I upgraded lilypond). I presumed that the result would be clearer and that I can (subjectively) confirm. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
How to use \parallelMusic with \lyricmode ?
Hi! My goal is to engrave a small piece that contains: - chord - melody - lyrics I would like to take advantage of the \parallelMusic macro, if that is possible. The best results I was able to achieve were with this: (although I bet there are more elegant ways) \version 2.14.2 \parallelMusic #'(harmonies melody text) { c1 | c2 e4 g | \lyricmode { Cee Eee Gee } | } \score { \new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \harmonies } \new Voice = one { \relative c' \melody } \new Lyrics \lyricsto one \text \layout { } \midi { } } When Lilypond processes the above input, the output is OK. What bothers me that it prints this message: 03.ly:9:27: Bars in parallel music don't have the same length \lyricmode { Cee Eee Gee } | Question #1: Why? Question #2: Is there a way how I could write lyrics without repeating \lyricmode in every tact? Thanks you very MUCH for the help. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

If this is the lyrics: Cee Eee Gee and if these are the notes of the voice to which lyrics is linked (via \lyricsto): c2 e4 g doesn't that mean that: Cee syllable has length 2 Eee syllable has length 4 Gee syllable has length 4 ? The output is rendered correctly so in lilypond seems to computes something that makes sense. Why does it then print that warning? What lengths of syllables did it compute and why? Using \lyricmode { Cee2 Eee4 Gee4 } | will supress the message, even if it's not necessary because of the \lyricsto assignment. I'm afraid there is no way to get rid of the \lyricmode, because parallelMusic needs a MUSIC expression and therefore cannot accept simple strings.

Concerning \repeat
Hello, I am not using Lilypond too frequently, but when I want to engrave some music, I use it exclusively. Yesterday, I decided to create an lilypond version of Yann Tiersen's piece: http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/yann_tiersen__comptine_dun_ete.pdf http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/yann_tiersen__comptine_dun_ete.ly (the source was a PDF I've got from a guy I met once. Unlike in the original I've got, I am trying to explicitely denote repeated measures.) Lilypond version is mostly done but I would like to use the \repeat command instead of \bar |: and \bar :| commands. I am using special (?) layout where I encode both hands simultaneously. This leads to easier to lilypond-code. However, in this special layout, I am not able to figure out how to use the \repeat \alternative commands. The simplified version of the layout with simple contents can be found here: http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/test.ly This is a model of my problem. Can somebody explain me how can I use the \repeat command to denote repetition, e.g., of the second and the third measure twice? Is it also possible to use the \alternative command with this layout somehow? Thank you very much in advance. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How to center custom dynamics marks between piano staves?
Hello, I have put Lilypond to test to see if I will be able to engrave one particular piece I like. It is a Hungarian fantasy Cserebogár, sárga cserebogár written by Mihály Ignác Here is the result. http://altair.sk/mediawiki/upload/f/fa/Mihaly_Ignac_Cserebogar.pdf http://altair.sk/mediawiki/upload/8/89/Mihaly_Ignac_Cserebogar.tar.gz I have old printed copy but the paper slowly breaks into pieces because it is fragile in a funny way. There are some (mostly) minor issues that I would like to solve. My first question is related to dynamics. At the moment I can center dynamics \p, \pp, \f, \ff etc marks in between the staves according to piano template, I can put these mark in the space in between the staves. However, I would like to put there also other information defined as follows: morendo = \markup{\large\italic morendo} crescendo = \markup{\large\italic cresc.} rall = \markup{\large\italic rall.} ritardando = \markup{\large\italic ritard.} etc. At present, I position these marks below appropriate notes for the right hand. I would like to put those marks to the place (Dynamics) reserved for such symbols where I already put \p \pp \f \ff Is that possbile? If I do that, I get: If instead of \parallelMusic #'(upper lower dynamics) { ... \barNumberCheck #5 d32\ritardando(a d, a') d(a d, a') d(a d, a') d(a d, a') d16_\morendo[a8.^^] d16[a8.] | r1 | s1 | ... } I would like to write something like: \parallelMusic #'(upper lower dynamics) { ... \barNumberCheck #5 d32(a d, a') d(a d, a') d(a d, a') d(a d, a') d16[a8.^^] d16[a8.] | r1 | s4\ritardando s4\morendo | ... } but I get an error message: error: syntax error, unexpected MARKUP_IDENTIFIER s4 \ritardando s4\morendo | What is the correct way to engrave those dynamics marks centered in between the staves?
