Strange error(?) message when invoking lilypond-book
I'm running OS X 10.11 and LilyPond version 2.18.2-1. I'm trying to invoke lilypond-book via terminal by typing the following (I've tried getting the path option to work, but I've given up after a gazillion tries): /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond-book Test.lytex What I'm served with after running this command is the following: File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond-book", line 590 os.mkdir (global_options.output_dir, 0777) ^ SyntaxError: invalid token Am I even supposed to see this? Is this a valid error message (in that case, it's not making a lot of sense)? I've been able to locate the origin in the source code, but that doesn't help me very much. Anybody got any ideas? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Strange-error-message-when-invoking-lilypond-book-tp183876.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thanks!

Re: Temporary disable \RemoveEmptyStaffContext for individual staffs
Yes, it seems to adress the same question. However, I don't know how to apply the answer to my SATB setup where every staff line has about the same properties. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Temporary-disable-RemoveEmptyStaffContext-for-individual-staffs-tp162585p162598.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
How do you re-print instrument names for certain systems?
I have a score that looks like this.
\score
{
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff
\set Staff.instrumentName = #Soprano
\new Voice = S
\relative c'{
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto Soprano { \sopranoWords }
\new Staff
\set Staff.instrumentName = #Alto
\new Voice = A
\relative c'{
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 |}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto Alto { \altoWords }
}
This results in a score where the words Soprano and Alto are printed
before the start of the two staffs for the first system. However, for
certain subsequent systems, I would like the instrument names to be
re-printed. How can I accomplish this?

Temporary disable \RemoveEmptyStaffContext for individual staffs
Im using the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext command and it works exactly as I expect it to. However, sometimes, I would like a certain staff to show up even though it only contains rests (for example, if a certain staff only is empty for a couple of bars, it might be more confusing to remove it and let it reappear later than to simple let it stay visible). Is it possible to override the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext temporary for a individual staffs? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Temporary-disable-RemoveEmptyStaffContext-for-individual-staffs-tp162585.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Surpress CC#7 commands in MIDI output
I've noticed that Lilypond, for its midi output, starts each track off by sending a CC#7 command (channel volume) on each channel with a value of 100. This create some problems for me, for example when I'm importing and playing the data in Logic and want to change the channel volume (yes, I could simply remove the CC command on each track there, but I'm dealing with a lot of files and they are going to get distributed to other people). Is there any way for me to remove these initial CC#7 commands from the midi file that Lilypond creates? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Surpress-CC-7-commands-in-MIDI-output-tp158188.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Off-topic: Automatically create rehearsal files from SATB midi file
I'm sorry that that I'm going off-topic here (well, it's not /that/ off-topic), but I thought that if I could find anybody who knew how to do what I'm trying to achieve right now, it would be a hardcore LilyPond user :) Anyhow, I'm using LilyPond to output midi files of my SATB arrangements. Now, I want to create individual mp3 rehearsal files for each voice. That is, for sopranos, I want a file that is mixed so that the soprano part is the loudest, for the altos I want the alto part to be the loudest, and so on. I'm writing a bash script for achieving all this, but where I run into trouble is when I try to play a midi file from the terminal while setting the initial volume for each track. I simply don't know how to achieve this. I've tried using timidity http://timidity.sourceforge.net/ but it doesn't seem to have any way of achieving this. I've also tried fluidsynth, and have managed to send CC#7 and CC#11 commands at very start, but fluidsynth seems to send these before the midi file has been properly set up, which mean they don't have any effect (see discussion of this attempt here http://nongnu.13855.n7.nabble.com/How-can-I-start-fluidsynth-playback-with-certain-cc-commands-specified-from-the-very-start-td177680.html ). So, right now, I'm kind of stuck. I've been trying to solve this problem for a couple of days now but without geting anywhere. Does anyone in the LilyPond community have any suggestions on how to do it? -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Off-topic-Automatically-create-rehearsal-files-from-SATB-midi-file-tp158190.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Off-topic: Automatically create rehearsal files from SATB midi file
Well, I could come to think of several different solutions if I just wanted to do this a couple of times. However, these are files that I constantly update and change and I would like to not have to make the changes in 9 different files every time (some of the arrangements are for SSAATTBB). I did things like that last year. Never again! 2014 is the year of automation for me :) -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Off-topic-Automatically-create-rehearsal-files-from-SATB-midi-file-tp158190p158199.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Surpress CC#7 commands in MIDI output
That is correct.

Is it possible to invert the two-sided option?
I would like to use \paper{two-sided = ##t} in order to have different
margins for even and odd pages. However, when activating this option, odd
pages get larger right margins and even pages get larger left margins. I'd
like to have it the other way around, so that odd pages get larger left
margins and even pages larger right margins. Is this possible to achieve?
I've found a thread that already deals with this question but I can't for
the life of me make any sense of it:

Problem executing example code with LilyPond 2.16.2
I've had some trouble with changing parameters in LilyPond, so I tried out
some example code from the manual.
In section 4.2.1
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/learning/properties-of-layout-objects
of the LilyPond Learning Manual, I found the following example code, which
is meant to demonstrate how to change a property of a layout object (this is
directly copy-and-pasted from the manual):
{
\key es \major
\time 6/8
{
% Increase thickness of all following slurs from 1.2 to 5.0
\override Slur.thickness = #5.0
r4 bes8 bes[( g]) g |
g8[( es]) es d[( f]) as |
as8 g
}
\addlyrics {
The man who | feels love's sweet e -- | mo -- tion
}
}
When commenting out the \override line, everything compiles fine for me in
LilyPond 2.16.2. However, when uncommenting it (and therefore, running the
example code in its entirety) I get the following error message:
Test.ly:6:29: error: syntax error, unexpected '=', expecting SCM_FUNCTION or
SCM_IDENTIFIER or SCM_TOKEN
\override Slur.thickness
= #5.0
Test.ly:6:31: warning: Ignoring non-music expression
\override Slur.thickness =
#5.0
Test.ly:1:0: error: errors found, ignoring music expression
What is going on here?

Re: Problem executing example code with LilyPond 2.16.2
Ops, that's one of the drawbacks of using Google to find your way around the LilyPond website. I'll be more careful what version of the manuals I'm reading in the future. Anyhow, I upgraded to the latest unstable version, and it works now.

Changing font of Score.MetronomeMark also removes quarter note in the tempo marking
This is a problem that I knew that I was going to run into as soon as I
decided that I wanted to do it, but I still haven't manage to figure out a
solution how to get around it.
I want to change the font of the text that can accompany a tempo mark in the
score. Therefore, I'm running the code below.
\relative c'
{
\tempo Vivacissimo 4 = 150
\override Score.MetronomeMark.font-name = Verdana
c
}
However, when compiling this code, the resulting tempo marking looks like
this: Vivacissimo ( = 150), that is, the quarter note before the equal
sign is missing. Now, I realize that this probably is the case because I
have switched the font to Verdana, which doesn't have support for notes. So,
is there a way to for me to use another font here, but still retain the
quarter note from the default font?

Re: after-title-space
Is this still the preferred way of doing this? I've tried playing around with
different values for after-title-space, both in the way suggested by Peter
and the way suggested by Nick. Absolutely nothing happens.
For the code
\paper
{
after-title-space = 100 \mm
}
\header
{
title = This is a test
}
\relative c'
{
c
}
The system is printed /directly/ beneath the title (that is, with no extra
space at all).
I've only found a lot of old threads about this problem ( here's
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/after-title-space-being-ignored-td51516.html
another one).
How is this done today? I've been trying to find a solution for hours (if
not days) now.

Re: after-title-space
Thanks for the tip! I checked out convert-ly -s for the full ruleset (in which I couldn't find anything about after-title-space). When choosing an arbitrarily low version number for my test file and trying to update it, convert-ly spat out the following message: Not smart enough to convert before-, between-, after-title-space. Please refer to the manual for details, and update manually.
