I cannot find how to put a box around a chord notation.

not perfect, but maybe a start:

#(define (boxed-ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context)
(markup #:box ( ignatzek-chord-names in-pitches bass inversion context

boxed = #(define-music-function (parser location griffe) (ly:music?)
#{

\chords {

Don't take the advice to avoid using \new Voice because without this
construct, you'll struggle to scale your music up to any non-trivial
task. Allowing LP to instantiate contexts automatically is a boon when
posting snippets, but I think it's a mistake to write any real music
that way.

There's no advantage inputting \version anywhere but near the top of
the file, as you did. Likewise, most people will put \language there
because they write all their notes in one language. However, it has
to be usable anywhere because you are free to change language at any
point (if, for example, including someone else's work).

I wrote that you might lay out (not layout) your source more clearly.
I've coerced your snippet into something more like the style I use
myself. (If you eschew "" as much as I do, beware of writing, say,
Staff = s1 because s1 is a whole-note skip. I just don't like the way
my syntax higlighter displays "strings".

You're setting a melody, but slicing and dicing it prevents you from,
say,  printing individual  parts, using a different instrument in the
midi, etc and is harder to read and check, especially in \relative mode.
LP is gradually improving in its ability to separate content and layout,
so it's worth taking advantage of this ability.

Cheers,
David.

Re: Vertically centering a song text.

2015-12-02 Thread William Marchant

In the example snippet quoted below, there is a line:
skipFour = \repeat unfold 4 { \skip 8 }

I have found this useful on its own, and have saved it for future use.  
The { \skip 8 } part has me baffled.   What does it do?  I have changed 
the number to 4, or 16 but there is no perceptible difference in its 
operation.  Yet, if I remove it, the snippet does not work. Can someone 
explain its function?

Re: temporarily forcing notes to ignore LyricText width

2015-11-16 Thread William Marchant

Hi,
I have found that it helps for short sections of music if the words in 
the offending lyrics are all made the same length.  thus "I could do"  
associated with three 8th notes, might become "__I__ could __do__"  This 
makes the spaces even out.

Cheers,
Bill

Hello all,

In the attached snippet, you can see how the notes are evenly spaced when there

is a long way off from being implemented [if ever!]. In the meantime, I would 
love a tweak that would allow me to tell Lily to ignore the LyricText grobs

There are several issues in our tracker concerned with the 
shortcomings of Lily’s current behaviour, since indeed note spacing 
should only in extreme cases by distorted by lyrics. What can be done?

– Choose a narrower font for lyrics.
– Play with LyricText.self-alignment-X, e.g. (gross exaggeration :-))
%%%
\version 2.18.2

selfAl = #(define-music-function (parser location num) (number?)
#{ \once \override LyricText . self-alignment-X  = $num #})

mus = { g'8 f'8 e'8 }
text = \lyricmode { \selfAl 1.2 straight straight \selfAl #-1 straight }

\score {
  
\mus
\addlyrics \text
  
}
%

– choose a wider horizontal spacing in general, either through the 
methods in 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing

– or by ‘brute force’: something like \paper { system-count = 10 }.

Re: Partial Bars

2015-07-03 Thread William Marchant

Hi All,
My recent question about Partial Bars in the middle of a piece has 
stirred up a slew of other problems and questions.  Here is an example 
of the solution I used with Beethoven's Menuet in G  thanks to Stephen 
MacNeil.


Version 2.18.2
 %Last bar of Part A which is in 3/4 time

g e8( fs d) fs d( a fs) g e( e cs) | %Bar 7
  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2/4)
  d4 r4 } %Bar 8

   % PART B
  \repeat volta 2 {
  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 2/8)
  d'8( g\mf) |% Bar 9
  \set Score.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 3/4)
  g d4( fs c g b, | %Bar 10
% etc etc
}

Note that there is a new bar number for every bar.

Learning new stuff every day!
Hope this helps
Bill

Hi,
I am making a copy of Beethoven's Little Menuet in G.  Each of the 
four parts begins with a partial bar.  The barcheck failure warning

assume there must be a workaround for this.  Could someone point me to 
it please?

Hi William,

Have a look at

which contains all the info you'll need for customizing the chord
name system.

Regards,

Hi William,

Nathan already pointed you to the documented way how to customize 
chord names.


Though,  a:m7.5- is already part of 'ignatzekExceptions'. You can 
ofcourse put it in your own wish. If you want _exactly_ the same 
output as for default-chords you will have some difficulties to adjust it.


Better to remove the settings for chords like a:m7.5- from 
'ignatzekExceptions':


chExceptions =
#(remove
  (lambda (e)
   (equal?
(car e)
(cdr (event-chord-pitches #{ c' ees' ges' bes' #}
  ignatzekExceptions)

\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
a:m5-.7
a:m5-.7
}


or for one-time-use, set 'chordNameExceptions' to an empty list:


\new ChordNames
\chordmode {
\once \set chordNameExceptions = #'()
a:m5-.7
a:m5-.7
}



Cheers,
  Harm

A Chord Question

2015-06-21 Thread William Marchant
Using the \chordmode function,  when I enter a:m7.5-  I get as shown 
in the documentation.


The guitarist in our group would very much like to stay with the 
notation he is used to.  Namely .


Is it possible to pursuad chordmode to produce this, or do I have to use 
\markup as I have been doing.  Or perhaps there is another method.  The 
problem with markup, is that the notation is always a bit out of line 
with the rest of the chords, and when a chord is required where there is 
no note to attach it to, it cannot be properly placed.  The markup 
chords do not play on the midi either, though this is of  minor 
importance to me right now.


Any guidance would be appreciated.

Bill,

The only thing I don't like is the use of the underscore to skip notes 
in the lyrics. Since this manually creates a melisma, it makes the 
syllable in each verse (except the third) shift unnaturally to the 
right, relative to its notehead, while the third verse is all lined up 
correctly. Other than that, LGTM!

The bug, if it is one seems to lie in the fact that other code precedes 
my example code.  I did not realise that my code would run correctly 
without the preceding code.  An ossia would not suit me because I wanted 
the horizontal lines which designate which verses of the song the

There may be a bug: with some bars added ahead, one should be able to use \bar |, but it still 
typesets \bar .|:. One can use \bar , though.

The \bar :|.” above is unnecessary. Also, if the \repeat volta does not 
encompass all music repeated, \unfoldRepeats will not expand MIDI correctly.



\version 2.19.15

\language english

\relative c' {
c1
\once \set Staff.whichBar = #|
\repeat volta 2 {  bf'8~ bf a a g4( f)| } %Bar 29
   \alternative{ { c2 e4( g4) |f1 |  r2 r4 g8( f) } %Bar 30 31  32

Adding text below the staff

2014-12-20 Thread William Marchant

The Documentation 2.1.5 shows an example of placing text below the note.

c2^espr a_legato

When I copy this verbatim into my script it works. espr goes above the c and
legato goes below the a. But the following does not work.

r2 r4 a4^_3. One^_2. Be - \bar :|

cs2^_eat r2 \bar |.


I get the unexpected string error.


If I remove the underlines, the text goes above the notes OK, but I want 
it below.

What am I doing wrong?

Bill

Re: Ties

2014-12-19 Thread William Marchant

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies.  I have been trying to get words and music 
aligned on the engraving so that a word which takes two notes, is 
aligned correctly.  The tilde between two notes, even though they are 
not the same, will do this and the engraving looks OK, but the error is 
produced in the log. I obviously need to use slurs.  I see now that ties 
only work when both notes are the same.

You're wanting a slur rather than a tie:

a4( g2) e4


Bill, could you be more specific about what you want to achieve?
a4 ~ g2
will always produce an error because you can't tie an a to a g.
But this also won't engrave any curve, so it's not clear what you 
refer to with comes out ok.

Urs



Hope this helps,
David

I started using Frescobaldi just last week.  Forgive the questions of a

1.  Is there a keyboard equivalent for the engrave button?  I cannot
find one.

Ctrl-m for Preview.
Ctrl-shift-p for publish
Ctrl-shift-m for custom.

That, and you will also find very useful the auto-engrave option in
the LilyPond menu, that causes Frescobaldi to automatically update
the document preview as soon as you stop typing for a moment in the
editor window. You don't need to explicitly engrave that often.


2.  I notice that saving a program does not automatically put the .ly
on
the file name.  I think this would be very handy.

Is already in the d3v version and will be in the upcoming release.
