Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi Urs (et al.), a) Do you want LilyPond to achieve the results of the benchmark tests by 'automatic engraving', i.e. only with general overrides and settings? Or will you accept local tweaks too? I envision an ongoing iteration of two stylesheet sets and a tweaks file: 1. Lilypond House

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi Kieren, having contemplated all this for a few days I have come up with two more questions regarding your intentions: a) Do you want LilyPond to achieve the results of the benchmark tests by 'automatic engraving', i.e. only with general overrides and settings? Or will you accept local

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi Janek, Here's a piano-cello score i consider to be very beautiful (Chopin's sonata op. 65, published by Peters) http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ReverseLookup/70779 (6 MB pdf) Having LilyPond reproduce this engraving would be a significant achievement. Can anyone confirm that the margins

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi David, Still not quite understanding the request... Sorry — I'm probably being unclear. When I look at the Henle Beethoven example I've [extremely quickly] put together, I think it's more pleasing to the eye than the default Lilypond output. I think the default output from Lilypond should

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi Jay, I wouldn't trust IMSLP margins, paper sizes, or scalings. This particular piece was probably originally on 9x12 paper and has been trimmed. I figure(d)… That's why I'll probably only end up using published examples that I can measure myself — either from my personal library

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

I've found a piano score that seems, to my eyes, both more friendly and more beautiful than Henle's Beethoven sonatas: the Chopin Nocturnes from Wiener Urtext, catalogue UT 50065 from 1980. If this turns out to have been computer-generated, then I'll just have to hang my head in shame. :) --

Re: stylesheets, defaults, and other in-Pond-erables

Hi David, What kinds of things would it be helpful to make sure such benchmark scores include? Is this simply a call for the best-looking scores in existence, for each category, or is there more to it than that? (For example, is it helpful to have music that's difficult for Lilypond to set,

Hi Rachael, A fingerstyle guitar benchmark would be Aerial Boundaries, by Michael Hedges as transcribed by John Stropes in _Rhythm, Sonority, Silence_ (1995). I don't feel comfortable putting pictures of the transcription onto a public list so if you would like a picture of a couple pages I
