[Lilypond 2.11.64]
Hi all,
I need a centred column of (left-aligned) markups — it's a poem
that I want floating in the centre of the leading page of a
choral score.
I know there have been a lot of changes recently, e.g. the thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-08/
msg00573.html. I've looked through the docs and the LSR, but can't
find a simple example showing how this can be done.
What's the final verdict on how to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Kieren.

Re: Multiple right-aligned lines in composer field
If you insist on using 2.10, then you need to use \right-align in
addition to \column

I am using LilyPond 2.10.33 to arrange a few Radiohead tunes, so in
the composer field I want to write the following long text which
spans two lines:
Words and Music by Thomas Yorke, Jonathan Greenwood,

The composer field is right-aligned, and so I want both of these
two lines to be right-aligned, too. However, if using \column, the
second line gets left-aligned with reference to the first:
composer = \markup \column {
Words and Music by Thomas Yorke, Jonathan Greenwood,
Edward O'Brien, Philip Selway and Colin Greenwood }
}
yielding
Words and Music by Thomas Yorke, Jonathan Greenwood,

And using center-aligned doesn't cut it, either:

}
yielding

I notice in the Notation Reference for LilyPond 2.11 that a new
command, \right-column, is available, which would probably
accomplish what I want. However, I'm stuck with 2.10. How do I get
the alignment I want?

Re: pianist's needs
Am 28.11.2008 um 20:28 schrieb Tim MacEachern: I like the thrust of your notation software. As a pianist, I'd like to make a comment on what I would like to see. Although the traditional method of marking accidentals works, it can be time-consuming to figure out whether a note is to be played as an accidental and this is often time a pianist does not have. I'd like to have my music all colour coded: naturals should be in black, sharps in some other colour, perhaps red, and flats in maybe green (double sharps and flats are rare and could be done in black or a different colour). Then I would not have to figure things out. This colour coding could be added to normal notation without changing the traditional aspects. As an alternative to colour coding, it might be possible for the note heads to be different shapes for accidentals. These differences might be too small to notice at pace though. in contrast with other notation programs I've used, that's quite simple with lilypond. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I checked the docs for 2.10 under repeats and partials and there's no information on how to deal with the end of the 2nd movement and the beginning of the 3rd, for my case. I ended up using a skip8 at the end before repeat of the 2nd movement. Is this the best way to do this? I don't want to get into book or such and prefer for my students to just flow from one movement to the next. If this is 'the' way to deal with such a problem something (and perhaps it is in the new docs) should be mentioned or explained as it took me a while to figure out what was wrong.

No, it was common practice to put accidentals above notes in

Sometimes these were meant to be optional, sometimes they were

you should
write it above the note and not as d!4.
Slight correction: it is customary in modern editions to put
editorial

left to
the performer to apply, according to more or less strict rules
(see Musica

\lyricsto vs. \set associatedVoice
What exactly is the difference between \lyricsto and \set
associatedVoice? The documentation isn't very explicit on this point,
and I've come to situation where I think I need to use \set
associatedVoice because the output is different from the \lyricsto
output.
The important issue here is that using \set associatedVoice it works,
and using \lyricsto it does not. I think it might be helpful to point
out at least this one difference between the two.
Also, if I try to put the two staves in the same \score block, I get
a segmentation fault.

Re: Vertical Spacing - A Newbie Question
Hello,
On 5 March 2012 17:57, Robert Thompson robert_thomp...@xplornet.ca wrote:
I've used Lilypond a few times and been generally impressed. However, there
is one thing I cannot figure out: how do I leave a vertical blank space
between lines of music? For example, if I'm transcribing a chart that has a
D.S. al coda, I'd like an inch or so of space between the main chart and
the coda.
This seems like such an obvious requirement, and I apologize if my befuddled
brain hasn't recognized it in any of the documentation.
The way I do it is to create a separate \score { } for my main piece
and for my coda.
Then you can use 'score-system-spacing'
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-_005cpaper-variables
Something like
\version 2.14.2
musicMain= { a b c d ... }
musicCoda = { e f g h ...}
\score {
\musicMain
}
\score {
\musicCoda
}
\paper {
score-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20
}
Then I also use
ragged-last-bottom in my \paper variable as set to #t else that
interferes with the overall gap I want by 'pulling' the coda to the
bottom regardless.
That works for me.
This also indents the coda as it is a new \score, by default but if
you don't want that you can just add indent = 0\mm to your \paper (I
think, I haven't tried that specifically but I think it will work).
Anyway, I hope you get the idea.

Any clue?
I'd suggest generally that you get into the habit of setting some
\paper { } variables for all your scores.
For example I always use (among other specific settings)
\paper {
indent = 10\mm
left-margin = 15\mm
right-margin = 15\mm
bottom-margin = 15\mm
top-margin = 10\mm
line-length = 180\mm
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
which suits my needs for A4 paper.
So you could then play about with ragged-last-bottom and bottom-margin.
Hope this helps.

Re: Combine \default rehearsal mark with another mark
Hello,
2012/3/15 Siska Ádám sa...@sadam.hu:
Dear List,
I'd like to put two rehearsal marks over the same barline. However, this
gives an error:
\mark \markup{
\center-align{
\line{ \default }
\line{ 8 }
}
} s4*8
The error is: 'error: syntax error, unexpected \default'
I also tried to access the value of \default, however, I couldn't find out
how to do that. The documentation says: 'The value to use is stored in the
property rehearsalMark', however, I didn't find any property like
RehearsalMark.rehearsalMark nor Score.rehearsalMark, or at least I didn't
find out how to access these in a \markup block.
Do you have any suggestion for this?

hello list,
i have a problem with beaming when combining a sixteenth notes triplet

without any kind of tweaks, the following code produces the output in the

\relative c' {

c16 c \times 2/3 { c8 c16 }
\times 2/3 { c8 c16 } c16 c }
as you see, lilypond behaves differently if the triplet is in the first
part of the quarter note, or in the second. in both cases the beaming is
wrong.
i guess this is related to issues that have been discussed before. i tried
both the latest stable (2.14.2) and the latest unstable or development

This actually worked in 2.12.3
So I have opened

Re: dynamic/beam/stem/tuplet number/tuplet number collisions
Hello, On 24 March 2012 06:57, Jeffrey Trevino jeffrey.trevi...@gmail.com wrote: Hi there, I'm rendering some dense notation, and there are lots of collisions between beams, stems, dynamics, tuplet numbers, and tuplet brackets. I'd like to be sure I'm aware of best practices with two questions: 1) What are the global actions I should take to keep this from happening upon render (I think there's something called padding for most of the grobs, according to the online documentation? Perhaps the order the things are engraved?)? Yes you can use padding, however LilyPond should do most collision avoidance out of the box. I'd also recommend making sure you are on at least 2.14.2 - the latest stable and if possible try the latest dev release (2.15.34) as there have been many improvements on layout since then. If you are using 2.12.x you'd just be making more work for yourself unnecessarily. It is possible to have both dev and stable releases installed on a system (with Windows, it is just a case of renaming the LilyPond dir that is installed in 'Programs', ditto mac (just rename the .app) and flick between the two types. You don't give any tiny examples so it is hard to say if you want to add 'padding' or not, and to what grob/glyph etc. Give us a chance to 'see' your problem. Perhaps even just a small screenshot. 2) Failing #1, what are the best ways to solve these problems by locally moving these things around via position overrides after I see my mangled output? Yes again that is possible, but really, unless you are hitting known bugs http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list It should just work(tm). To be honest, I'd say these questions are too broad o give anything other than 'possibly', 'maybe', 'it depends' or 'could do' answers, and you'd do well to give us an 'idea' of specifics - without filling the list with a hundred line .ly file. I'd say the most common question we get from beginners about 'dense' and 'colliding' things are either because of known bugs (which will need overrides and tweaks) or because of incorrect usage of multiple voices in the same staff. For example NOT using explicit voices but trying to use .. constructions or // constructions with \xxxUp \xxxDown type commands peppered all over. Sorry I cannot give you more explicit instructions, but if you find yourself having to make more and more overrides starting out, you may not as I think you are guessing, be 'thinking in LilyPondese'.

Works great so far. Now I'm getting inquiries from Windows users. Is it possible to do the same thing for them, i.e. have a LilyPond Windows install self-contained in a Dropbox folder that they can just run with no other installation effort? I really want to avoid spending time figuring out why things aren't working in Vista :-( All my LilyPond files reside in a DropBox folder (if not the binary itself) - this means no matter what machine I am on (Linux/Mac/Windows) I can easily access all my files. It works well, although on a slow network connection it can, depending on the size of the .ly file and the resulting output - slow down the compilation, perhaps by a few seconds my scores rarely go more than 8 pages. Because you are creating a few temp files (.ps for instance) that then get deleted, Dropbox will still replicate the creation and then replciate the deletion. However when I am doing lots of changes you can 'pause' syncing very easily and then when you are all done and finished, just resume sync and dropbox updates the most current files. I cannot speak about Vista but Windows 7 works great. Installing LilyPond in a dropbox folder is no different to say installing it on the 'd' drive. What I am not sure of though is You *might* need to set your path (or at least check it is set properly) so that LilyPond can run http://lilypond.org/windows.html See 'running on the command line' half way down.

James I is somehow my (future) Job as music theorist to think about these problems. At least I want to think about it. Writing your music down in a correct way helps the intpreter to play better and the composer to think better. There are many strange and inconsequent things in music notation. If you know them you can avoid them and make your music or score clearer. This is where Lilypond comes in because I use it to create scores :) Isn't this just the old adage, 'Just because we can, doesn't mean we should'. I cannot think what problem this is solving. or how it is adding to the music in any way at all. Otherwise you simply add a note saying to go back to repeat X instead of Y. I think your example is far too short to get the point across. Maybe there could be some piece where you start at A got Z repeat back to B got to Y repeat back to C and so on, in ever decreasing 'circles', that may be something a 'modern' composer might do. Or even me come to think of it. :) But then you'd just label your repeat bars. regards James ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

measure - even if you put in \bar |, until *after* cadenzaOff, so
you have to manually set your Accidentals.
Hope that helps.

Speaking just for myself, I'd prefer links to gmane or nabble archives.) It's closer -- I'm now getting bar check failures only at the ends of the two cadenzas, where I think I was getting more of them before. But, it's still failing and the multi-measure rests are drawn in the wrong place. So, a more illustrative example, using actual notes from my piece and replicating the context (one bar of cadenza, one metered bar, and another bar of cadenza). It looks to me like time advances the correct number of beats, but LP doesn't recognize that it should roll over to the next bar at that point. I'm guessing that for each cadenza + following-bar pair, where there should be two full-bar rests, only one is being drawn (probably the first one, for the cadenza) and the other one is being dropped because of the bar check failure. Then it draws the single full-bar rest in the middle of the span for /both/ bars. It doesn't help to include an explicit \bar | after the \cadenzaToMusic calls. LP output. For debugging I restored the (format...) call, which shows that the duration of both cadenzas is being calculated correctly. Hi James, the cadenzaToMusic-function _replaces_ \cadenzaOn and \cadenzaOff. If you delete these commands it works and there is no need for manual bars: Thanks Thomas, I have added this snippet to the LilyPond Snippet Repository - awaiting approval.

More or less - there may be some differences, some of the examples in the Notation Reference that explicitly show '\relative c' (I think) are different in 2.14 than 2.15 and won't apply for 2.14 - this was because of a syntax change internally, it doesn't affect the code you have in your .ly file (or shouldn't) but might if you copied and pasted the examples in your .ly file.

Sorry, currently I can't test whether it also happens in earlier

The following code creates a flying tie situation around the upper

the staff. This happens probably because of the accidentals on the new

Although I have to say for such a simple thing I find it a waste of the extra time I will have in creating the notes for the one percussion player. For example: if I want him to make a tremolo movement from the center of a gong towards the edge, I'd have to write c4:32 s2 in the lower stave, s4 c4:32 s4 in middle and s2 c4:32 in the upper stave.. instead of just putting it in one stave. Well yes that is true, I'm not a percussionist so am not sure what the differences between 'normal' notes and percussion notation is that makes this any less painful. but if you were doing ANY composition with multiple 'voices' (which is what you seem to be doing here) you'd have to do that anyway right?
