Re: More ponderings on Chordmode

[lilyp...@andis59.se]

Just to be sure. You removed the \chordnames part and added the \chords.
When I did this I got a guitar (well, it didn't sound like a guitar, but 
it was not a piano) both for the melody and the chords.


I think it would be beneficial if you attached the .ly file so we can 
see what you have done...

I must be a tad slow. However I incorporate your suggestion still no guitar

The snippet does compile without error but seems to have zero effect.

example everything I try ends up as a piano.

Is it possible to assign a midiInstrument to the chordNotes?

 \chords {
   \set ChordNames.midiInstrument = #"acoustic guitar (steel)"
   \myChordsTransposed
 }

If you change acoustic guitar (nylon) to banjo and comment out the 
chords section you'll hear that the banjo (or any other fretted string 
instrument) will sound through your midi player.


I'm just using the in Windows built in synthesizer so it doesn't sound 
like a banjo or acoustic guitar. Chords will sound more like a 
keyboard/piano with a slightly different tone.


So the sound depends on the synthesizer that is used to create them. The 
built in software synthesizer in windows is really bad! Don't know which 
OS you are using, but there are software synthesizer that give a much 
better sound, e.g. Coolsoft Virtual Synth

Re: using Lilypond

[lilyp...@andis59.se]

Hello Jud and Welcome to the wonderful pond!

I would really recommend you to download and install Frescobaldi.
http://frescobaldi.org/

Frescobaldi is an Editor/IDE for creating Lilypond files.

Lilypond take on (or multiple) text files with commands for how it 
should create the sheet music.
You can create the file in any (notepad) text editor, but as I said 
Frescobaldi will get you there much faster and easier!


Best of luck!

// Anders
PS! Reading the Introductions http://lilypond.org/introduction.html will 
save you time!

Hi all
First post.
I have downloaded Lilypond for windows 7.
I went through the test that confims that Lily is working.
I have been presented with the welcome notes as well as
a command propt box. Where am I supposed to start typing text?
  The command box does not want to take any text.
  Looing at screen shoots it seems that maybe another screen should appear
  that has not loaded, one that I can type text into?
As it is I can input anything anywhere. Much appreciated.
Complete newby.
regards

Hi …

I have downloaded 2.18.2 and installed it.  When I double
click on the shortcut created nothing happens.  If I right
click (I’m on Windows 10) and Run as Administrator I get a DOS
window (blank) and a Welcome to Lilypond file – which tells me
to save it as test.ly to my desktop and then drop it on the
shortcut.  I’ve done that and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Re: Install problem

[lilyp...@andis59.se]

Just remembered that I didn't use the default directory C:\Program Files 
(x86)\Lilypond

I used C:\lilypond instead.
So Phils idea of a rights issue is probably right!

Re: 2.19.30 returns error code -1073741819

[lilyp...@andis59.se]

-1073741819(0xc005)  means Access Violation, but we need to know a bit more 
to find the culprit.

Please run LilyPond with Verbose output-V, --verbose and post the output.

One (of many) advantages with using Frescobaldi is that you can 
configure it for multiple versions of Lilypond. Frescobaldi will use the 
correct one depending on you \version
