Re: clefs, time signatures, and key signatures

Hi Werner,

does the new proposed spacing mean that the time signatures are not 
aligned across staves any more but were before?


Best,

Re: N.C. No Chord poll

[Michael Dietz]

I usually use an m-dash "—" as the noChordSymbol as it is more language 
agnostic. But N.C. is reasonable default IMHO.

Recursive includes

[Michael Dietz]

Hi Lilypond users,

I had an issue with a file which repeatedly crashed my computer. It took 
all memory. The error is clearly on the user’s side: I had this line in 
a file (let’s say) choir.ly:


\include choir.ly

So LilyPond recursively included this file over and over again until the 
RAM was full.


That leads me to my question: Could lilypond catch this user error and 
(a) know that it included it already and skip over the \include command 
the second time or (b) warn the user and stop compiling the file (or any 
other reasonable approach) to help the user?


Cheers,
Michael

Re: Frescobaldi & edition engraver

[Michael Dietz]

That works indeed. So with Frescobaldi v3.2 via git and qpageview via 
pip it opens normally.


git clone -b v3.2 https://github.com/frescobaldi/frescobaldi.git
pip install qpageview
cd frescobaldi
./frescobaldi

I still hope for a native apt installation, but until then with this 
solution, I can use custom fonts, any lilypond version I want, call git 
from Scheme and the "real files on disk" are opened when clicking inside 
Frescobaldi.


Thank you!

Thank you Laurie,

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04 and had Frescobaldi problems. Looking at 
your log it looks like qpageview is the culprit - it was with me too.


You can install a working version by

1) pip install qpageview


Unfortunately this did not fix it for me. I uninstalled the Flatpak, 
installed Frescobaldi with apt and qpageview with pip but it did not 
help here.

Hi Jean,

I'm going to wait for Ubuntu to react and I now registered with 
launchpad to support your efforts.


In the meantime, I can use Flatpak for editing and rough previews and 
the commandline for the real compilation including a specific version 
and custom fonts. Calling git also doesn't work from within Flatpak.


Thanks for your replies and your efforts!
Best,
Michael

Re: Frescobaldi & edition engraver

[Michael Dietz]

I have three follow-up questions concerning Flatpak-Frescobaldi:

The PDF next to the .ly files seems to be unchanged. Why doesn't it update?

How can I install other music fonts? I used to copy them into
~/mydir/lilypond-2.24.0/share/lilypond/2.24.0/fonts/{otf,svg}
But as the exectuable is listed as /app/bin/lilypond, I guess fonts in 
the above directory are not picked up.


It seems like I cannot use alternative lilypond installations. I have a 
few of them. But if I enter them in the list in settings, their path is 
listed as /run/user/1000/... instead of their "real" path. Is it 
possible to use different versions or only the one packaged with Flatpak?

Re: Frescobaldi & edition engraver

[Michael Dietz]

Thank you. I installed both oll-core and edition-engraver and tried this 
example: 
https://github.com/openlilylib/edition-engraver/blob/master/usage-examples/example-1.ly


And this example actually runs. Now I have to see whether the syntax in 
my scores is still compatible.

Re: Frescobaldi & edition engraver

[Michael Dietz]

Thank you Jean,

1. I will try Flatpack
2. Here I was not precise enough: I am already up to date in this repo.

git pull says that I am "Already up to date." I apparently forked it 
back then. The upstream is https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets.git 
And the latest commit is from 2019 
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/commits/master


Is that the best and most recent source for OpenLilyLib?
In particular, is this the latest edition engraver?
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/editorial-tools/edition-engraver

Thanks,

Frescobaldi & edition engraver

[Michael Dietz]

Hi,

after a few years, I come back to LilyPond. I just installed the latest 
stable version 2.24. Thanks a lot for it.


Working on Ubuntu 22.04, I now have two issues:
- How to use Frescobaldi (I really enjoyed it but it crashes on startup)
- How to get the latest edition engraver (I heavily used it)


1. Frescobaldi

While Frescobaldi is still in the Ubuntu packages, it does crash when 
starting it with the following message:



Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/frescobaldi/frescobaldi_app/qpageview/highlight.py", line 
209, in paintEvent
super().paintEvent(ev)  # first paint the contents
  File "/usr/share/frescobaldi/frescobaldi_app/qpageview/shadow.py", line 43, 
in paintEvent
rect = ev.rect().adjusted(-width, -width, width / 2, width / 2)
TypeError: adjusted(self, int, int, int, int): argument 1 has unexpected type 
'float'


I tried to fix all those int/float type issues but after fixing a lot of 
them, I finally gave up. Is there a recipe to install and use 
Frescobaldi on Ubuntu?


2. OpenLilyLib

I still have a local copy of OpenLilyLib (with master on 75adb418 from 
2015-07-07). Is there a more recent version of it and in particular the 
edition engraver?


Best,
Michael
