Re: ly2dvi LaTex error
Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi! I run debian with kernel 2.2.19. I've installed LilyPond 1.2.17. That's an extremely old version of Lilypond, try to install some version 1.4.x instead (the latest stable is 1.4.10). You can find both precompiled versions and source code at www.lilypond.org. Here's the error message when I run ly2dvi : -! LaTeX Error: File `geometry.sty' not found. Install the package tetex-extra. /Mats ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Repeat barline
Hi, I was wondering, when copying old music, I found out that it was a bit untasteful and complicated to convert all the repeats to modern system. Composers didn't bother with alternate endings, they just used to cut measures where it suited them best. I haven't figured out a way yet to but a \bar :|:, with- out creating a new measure. Isn't possible to insert this in the middle of a measure, without using any tricks like \times (and without using the \repeat and \alternative)? e16 | [a8 b c d] | [g d e fis] | fis4 fis,4 | c8 d g8. \bar :|: fis16 | Jérémie ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
rest
I really thought you knew. Your rest placement is broken. At some point between 1.2.17 and 1.4.9 the quarter rest in the 3rd measure of the Sammartini excerpt in the tutorial migrated from below the treble staff, where it belongs, to above. I've been having tons of fun with this. I would appreciate a way of disabling automagic rest placement so that I can do it myself. It is ironic that I have been able to put two stems on a half note head, which you do not approve of, and which guitar players including myself have been asking you to facilitate for years, but found it impossible to place a rest vertically between two notes in the same column, which you apparently, *and erroneously*, think is the only correct style. And it looks great! The part that has to be in only two parts does not look so great. ---bug!! ases c'! gives a collision but c! ases has the natural offset to the left even though the notes are a sixth apart. I hope that helps to know that apparently the natural sign thinks it's in the wrong octave sometimes. :-) Information is not knowledge. Belief is not truth. Indoctrination is not teaching.
