OK, thank you in advance.
It would be best to have it arranged in the structure of our repo, and 
maybe even as a pull request. But you can also send me anything by 
(private) email, together with instructions if necessary, and I can 
include it.

I meant to send a pull  request, but I forgot to do it.
I may do it today but I'm not sure about the version I have.  For example,
my file is 424  lines long, no line 437 and no typo... Last change on my
file system is 8 December. See file attached.

This is  the  place waiting for the files:

Good catch!
Researching a bit, I found this typo already in the first version
Torsten ever posted.

Trying to call that number was responded by "Unknown Number".
Together with this: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2013-12/msg00499.html


I think we can conclude that Torsten Hämmerle _is_ unavailable for the 
time being.


Wo what should we do?
I reread the statement in Torsten's initial message:

" At any rate, the whole LilyJAZZ issue shall be open and free (just 
like Lilypond), so I first had to create my own fonts in order to become 
independent of commercial ones."


and I'm quite positive that this is meant as a submission to LilyPond's 
licence.


Please have look at 
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/blob/master/custom-music-fonts/LilyJAZZ/README.md

for my reasoning and proposed solution.

So: All that have worked with and on LilyJAZZ in the meantime, please 
make it available in our library.
Please create an includable LilyJAZZ.ily file in that folder, a working 
LilyJAZZ-example.ly file beside, and complete the README with 
installation/usage instructions.

Sure, but from what i see the code would require some cleanup to go
through review - the question is, who'd like to do this.  I started
some cleanup (https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/pull/16) but at
the moment i don't have time to do this thoroughly.

I think that it would be great.
I've never used it much because of version conflicts and because I hoped
that 1196 would have been solved sooner or later.
Now since the work on 1196 seems stalling, integrating the bend stuff in
lilypond sounds sensible to me. I'll have the chance to test it in real
music examples in the coming weeks.

Should I split issue 1196?
I may create a new issue to integrate this stuff and rename 1196 as "add an
engraver for bending". Because AFAIK the bend stuff is experimental and it
would work better if a specific engraver was created.

Wouldn't it make sense to integrate the bend stuff into LilyPond?  That
would make it easier to match versions and behavior.

Yeah, we already fixed that in the bend-update branch of the
repository, currently being pull-requested.  Review it here:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/pull/16

I like the way in which putting this on github fosters collaboration
and development of that snippet (at least i am personally more
inclined to work on code that lives in some repository ;P).

Hi Federico,

it's because grace-notes are beamed per default with 2.17.96.
Change the example to
\bendGrace { \preBendRelease c8( \noBeam d)( } c2) r2

or better the definition of 'preBendRelease' to

preBendRelease =
#(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
   #{
 \once \override TabVoice.Slur #'stencil = #slur::draw-pre-bend-hold
 \once \override TabStaff.ParenthesesItem #'transparent = ##t
 \once \override Voice.Slur #'direction = #DOWN
 \autoBeamOff \parenthesize $note \autoBeamOn

In the weekend I'll send a pull request for bend.ly, including a commit for
each version of bend.ly (from original 2.14 by Marc to 2.16 adapted by
Harm).

If Marc or Harm are reading this message, I've just compiled
bendtest.lywith 2.17.96 and there's a problem in measure 10: a beam
appears and I get
this warning:

Drawing systems...

I followed this thread only loosely.
As long as we can't directly include LilyJAZZ into LilyPond I suggest
making it available (and improvable) here:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/LilyJAZZ
I just created a folder where all related stuff can be placed.
So I would suggest that once you have sorted everything out someone adds
the files there, maybe also writes an introduction in the README.md file
(which will be automatically displayed when viewing the folder).

Hi Urs

I see that the new link is:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/custom-music-fonts/LilyJAZZ

but it's empty. What is preventing from having the last version of LilyJAZZ
there? Maybe some copyright issue?

No, it's not quite about copyright.
I cannot speak for Urs, but as we're both maintaining this repository,
i'll say how the situation looks from my point of view:
- i'm not quite sure where to find the latest version of LilyJAZZ and
whether there are any knows issues that should be documented.  Of
course it's just a matter of reading archive emails, but there's quite
a lot of them and i don't have much time...
- together with Urs we focused on finishing Fried project and writing
post series about it on the blog
(http://lilypondblog.org/category/fried-songs/) and this took much of
our time,
- some people expressed concerns about creating a separate repository
with lilypond stuff like openlilylib/snippets (they said that it's
diluting our resources and manpower), so i didn't want to push it lest
that someone will think that i'm trying to hijack developers or
something.


I  think that such a repository is a great idea. Could you include also
bend.ly and bendtest.ly? See this issue
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1196
Harm adapted it for 2.17.x
Let me know if I can help somehow

sift through mailing list archives or tracker issue comments).

Don't get me wrong - i don't expect a 10-page dissertation and full user manual!

I'll gladly help with getting LilyJAZZ into the repository, but i'm
currently not able to lead such effort - someone has to take
responsibility, and i'll support him as much i can.


I have to add that some opinions were raised that we can't simply put 
something in such a library that was 'published' on lilypond-user 
without asking back with the author - who seems to be unreachable for 
LilyJAZZ.


And for the reasons Janek described I didn't have enough time or energy 
to follow this anymore.

But I'd say if anybody will help we're gladly helping to put it online.

Urs

Janek

No, it's not quite about copyright.
I cannot speak for Urs, but as we're both maintaining this repository,
i'll say how the situation looks from my point of view:
- i'm not quite sure where to find the latest version of LilyJAZZ and
whether there are any knows issues that should be documented.  Of
course it's just a matter of reading archive emails, but there's quite
a lot of them and i don't have much time...
- together with Urs we focused on finishing Fried project and writing
post series about it on the blog
(http://lilypondblog.org/category/fried-songs/) and this took much of
our time,
- some people expressed concerns about creating a separate repository
with lilypond stuff like openlilylib/snippets (they said that it's
diluting our resources and manpower), so i didn't want to push it lest
that someone will think that i'm trying to hijack developers or
something.

If you'd like to help with getting bend stuff and LilyJAZZ into
openlilylib/snippets that would be absolutely awesome!  We accept pull
requests on github, or you could send us patches.  If you don't feel
comfortable with such workflows, It would be enough if you just told
us what exactly to put there.  In other words, we need:
- the latest version of the stuff to put into the repostory
- up-to-date description, including known issues, TODOs, nonstandard
dependencies etc.  In other words, the description should contain all
important informations about the package (so that one doesn't have to
sift through mailing list archives or tracker issue comments).

Don't get me wrong - i don't expect a 10-page dissertation and full user manual!

I'll gladly help with getting LilyJAZZ into the repository, but i'm
currently not able to lead such effort - someone has to take
responsibility, and i'll support him as much i can.

Hi Urs

I see that the new link is:
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/custom-music-fonts/LilyJAZZ

but it's empty. What is preventing from having the last version of LilyJAZZ
there? Maybe some copyright issue?

I  think that such a repository is a great idea. Could you include also
bend.ly and bendtest.ly? See this issue
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1196
Harm adapted it for 2.17.x
Let me know if I can help somehow

Thank you

True, I intentionally showed LilyPond's standard chordname
formatting.

I customize the look of my chord symbols with my personalized
version of Robert Schmaus' work:

% JAZZ CHORDS
% (based upon pop-chords.ly by James L. Hammons)
%
% v3.1

Robert's work does a good job of managing font sizes of
accidentals and other symbols, uses a lowercase 'm' for minor,
all that stuff.  And when it doesn't do what you want, it's easy
to modify.  I agree with other comments that the fact that
LilyJAZZText is a "small caps" font makes it unsuitable for
chordnames.  Using the lilyjazzchord font allows me to retain my
prefered lower case styling of "min", "dim" "aug", "add", "sus",
etc.

> Additionally LillyJAZZ.ily was updated with all recent improvements.

Thanks for managing the feedback and for fixing problems.  Is
there a URL?  A resolution to issue 3096 would be a welcome next
step.  Marc Hohl's workaround, jazzTempoMarkup, looks very nice,
but complicates rehearsal marks that occur at the same point as
tempo indications.

Hi,

I'm following this discussion from a distance. I am not a Jazz musician
and have always wondered why Jazz musicians prefer computer-engraved
sheet music that tries to look like it is hand written. My brother is a
jazz composer/arranger who uses Finale and who always uses Finale's
jazzfont for his compositions.

Is it just a tradition, and something jazz musicians feel familiar and
comfortable with while writing and reading music? Or is a Jazzfont
*really* easier to read on stage?


I think the chord names are easier to read with that font, but a bold
version of a text font will work as well (LilyPonds default and the
fonts used in guitar song books would not work quite well).

Apart from that it is merely a habit. I found out that I am irritated
to find a H-7 (the german B minor 7) in a Jazz score, but have no
problems playing a Hm7 in a songbook, so it is probably some kind of
context dependency.
(As a side note: I can read the bass clef much faster when I have a
bass guitar on the strap. Trying to identify the notes with a
guitar at hand feels unfamiliar and thus takes more time).

Just my personal experience, but this is an interesting topic for sure


It would be interesting to do scientific research in what way a music
font can influence the way we read music: reading speed, number of
errors when sight-reading, things like that.


There is an interesting attempt for a slanted music font called 'Musica 
presto' by Hermann Zapf sketched in 1938 that should mimic the speed of

the piece by having slanted clefs, stems etc.
I assume the second world war prevented further work in this direction,
but the specimens look interesting.


Maybe it could even be possible to design a music font that improves the
reading skills for people who have always had trouble to read music.
Something comparable to that special text font that was designed for
people with dyslexia: http://www.studiostudio.nl/en/information/


This would imply a lot of testing in real-world conditions.
But the idea is promising ;-)

One more thing which might be useful for the technical issues you are

I started a snippet to switch program execution based on the used LilyPond

Currently there is only one function 'lilypond-greater-than?' but I intend

Hi Urs,

your coding will not work.
Regard the results from:

2.12.3  -> 17
2.14.2  -> 18
2.16.2  -> 20
2.17.28 -> 47
seems to be ok,

though:

2.15.40 -> 57

You need to do a more detailed comparison.


Under the assumption that the last part of the version will never
exceed 99, why not go for

x.y.z -> (x*1000)+(y*100)+z

or, to be on the safe side for the next 300 years or so ;-)

x.y.z -> (x*10^6)+(y*10^3)+z

Just my 2ct

Marc

Hi all who are involved,

I followed this thread only loosely.
As long as we can't directly include LilyJAZZ into LilyPond I suggest 
making it available (and improvable) here:

https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/LilyJAZZ
I just created a folder where all related stuff can be placed.
So I would suggest that once you have sorted everything out someone adds 
the files there, maybe also writes an introduction in the README.md file 
(which will be automatically displayed when viewing the folder).
