about custom percussion staves?
In the Notation manual 2.5 custom percussion staves, I have used the example shown. But havent been able to find out what the third column is supposed to do. ie. #f or #t doesn't seem to do much? Although the pedalhihat line seems to code for the + above. I would like to know where to look in the documentation that explains that column. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
vim syntax coloring curiousity
greetings I use vim in a terminal for editing, very occasionally something else like abiword I noticed recently and probably in the past that certain lilypond files were not opening with the syntax coloring. I am including a sample file here that demonstrates the behavior. If the comment lines at the top of the file with text are deleted syntax coloring goes back on. I am using fedora 8 and lilypond 2.11.63 not that it should matter. Since I can't be sure if this only happens on my system, I decided to post in case someone cares to try. % %zzz topic % and another topic \version 2.11 #(set-default-paper-size letter) #(set-global-staff-size 20) % ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
chords and set Staff.midiInstrument
greetings, I searched the archives and someone posted the same question without reply. fake book type lead sheet with chords. the melody can be modified to use any instrument but the chords seem to only use a piano sound. I would like to change the midi instrument if possible I have tried set Staff.midiInstrument thanks ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
re: chords and midiInstrument
thank you Johan that works nicely. set ChordNames.midiInstrument by way of explanation - with piano for the chords it almost drowns out the melody line in midi playback ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
guitar tablature and fingering
Although I have used lilypond for awhile for scores, I am just learning
to use the tabulature. The sample score I am inserting is working
for the most part but I would like to suppress the fingering on the
note staff if possible. Also my eyes need some assist hence
the large staff size
thanks

latest windows binary on win xp pro
http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/mingw/lilypond-2.7.28-1.mingw.exeI downloaded this build and had the same problem on win xp pro sp2 first a copy failed message during the install, then a pop up message about guile.exe Later I installed it without any problems whatsoever on win2000 pro presumably the install problem is specific to win xp pro. I really cant provide any more information about this without some assistance onwhat to look for or where to look. If anyone has installed these latestbuilds on win xp sp2 or win xp pro sp2 sucessfully I would like to know as I would then try to install lilypond on win xp without service packsas a trial. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I tried to reinstall the devl version for windows again and looked closely at the detailed messages. The problem seems to occur during the installation with a copy operation for gs.exe which fails.

2.7.27-4 development windows question/problem
Installed lilypond-2.7.27-4.mingw.exe and also the -3 version afterwards on a new systemwith winxp pro sp2. The install went along a bit then failed with a message aboutguile.exe I have installed the cygwin versions in the past but never liked the cygwin process for selecting components (mainly because I have dial up) I have used mingw and like it so was pleased that it is being used. Just thought I would mention this install problem in case anyone knows about it and how to proceed or can comment on what I might be doing wrong. ThanksI mainly do everything on linux but like to keep the windows updated ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
