Missing end-of-stave barline?

[Mark Probert]

Hi.

When I run this snippet the barline at the end of first stave, which
I think should be a “||”, goes “missing” (there is no barline at all).

Is there a correct way of setting the end of stave barline in this kind of
situation?

%% ——
\version "2.24"

parta = {
  aes4 bes c d | d4 ees f g |
}

partb = {
  aes,2 c2 | ees1 |
}

tune = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \key c \minor
  \time 4/4

  \parta \bar "||" \break
  \repeat volta 2 {
 \bar "[|:" \partb \bar ":|]"
   }
}

\score {
  \new Staff  \tune
}
%%—

TIA,

Removing staves when using remove-layer

[Saul Tobin]

Hi all,

When condensing staves using remove-layer as described here
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/modifying-single-staves#hiding-staves,
what is the best way to temporarily hide the combined staff as well as the
individual staves? E.g. for a particularly crowded system where both
players have rests.

Thanks for your help,

Saul

The issue is that LilyPond treats \book and \bookpart values in the same
way (no, that's not really wonderful). Basically, when you do this:

x = \bookpart { bla bla }
\x

At the point \x is used, LilyPond has "forgotten" that \x was not a book

\book {

forces \x and \y to be treated as bookparts inside one book.

Okay. I did that and when I move the \paper (yes, my bad, I did write

Yes, it means each bookpart has the specified number of pages.

\version "2.24.0"

\paper {

\bookpart {

Just move \paper inside \bookpart.

\bookpart {

    page-count = 2
  }
  \repeat unfold 20 { c'1 }
}

\bookpart {

Frankly, the level of bull here is unbelievable.

git grep book_rendering
...
lily/book.cc:  SCM outputs = score->book_rendering 
(output_paper_book->paper (), layout);
lily/include/score.hh:  SCM book_rendering (Output_def *, Output_def *);
lily/score.cc:Score::book_rendering (Output_def *layoutbook, Output_def 
*default_def)

So what is it already?!?!?  Paper or layout?

I guess this nonsense is also behind some book layout variables not
making it into scores.

A Paper_book does not preserve \layout so at the point where text
markups are interpreted, the \layout is not available.  This seems more
like a fudge than anything else.

I have no idea what the original idea here was, but given that the
parameter name "layout" to markup commands is rather unambiguous and
that it seems very desirable to be able to write

(define-markup-command ... (layout props) ...
  #{ \markup \score { \layout { $layout ...

I lean towards maintaining "layout" and not passing paper blocks into
interpret-markup at all.

We may break some things while figuring this out.  But the current way
appears too weird to make for a useful interface.

A likely consequence of

commit 00e7e96f8393ad1fe86f57cf90f4567142bd4e72
Author: David Kastrup 
Date:   Sat Feb 8 19:05:16 2014 +0100

Issue 3827: remove the necessity to have a \layout block in a \markup 
\score ...

It turns out that this is not really fixable in the backend since what
is called "layout" in the markup function definitions does not
actually correspond to \layout but rather to \paper.  Very funny.

So this is solved in the parser itself when reading a \score or
\score-lines to be used in a markup or markup list by cloning
$defaultlayout as necessary (which simulates \layout {}) whenever the
score is without an output definition.

I suspect that the rationale in the first paragraph is wrong because we
may actually be talking about a layout block after all, just one that
historically inherited `is-paper' (among other paper variables) from the
paper block.

Let me try again.

It's a limitation of \markup \score.

\version "2.24.0"

\layout {
  \override Voice.NoteHead.color = "red"
}

\score {
  \layout {
    \override Voice.NoteHead.color = "blue"
  }
  { c'^\markup \score { c' } }
}


Not sure why. The setup of output definitions is quite opaque to
me. \markup \score is special-cased in the parser, too.

Maybe open an issue.

Probably, but I’m also trying to make this engraver something a person can just 
add to a LilyPond file without having to change anything else. I think most of 
the time people will input these kinds of bends as grace notes, so no matter 
what I’ll have to detect those.

Hi Jean,

I came across this and other complications while rewriting the lsr
snippet about rhythm marks.
Please take a look at
https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1=204
with the new code (the old one is commented for now).
Several comments at toplevel and inline.

I aimed at a smaller size and all Beams and (flagged) Stems should end
at the same height.
Can this be achieved more easily?

Thanks,
  Harm

Actually it works, if the \layout is placed toplevel.
A bug?

Resize \rhythm in mixed markup

[Thomas Morley]

Hi,

consider below

\version "2.24.0"

\score {
  { g'1^\markup { My Rhythm \rhythm { 8[ 8] } } }
  \layout {
\context {
  \StandaloneRhythmStaff
  fontSize = #6
}
  }
}

I'll have numerous such markups combining straight text and \rhythm.
Thus I'd like to have a method to adjust the \rhythm-part in a
score-layout without affecting other parts of TextScripts.
Alas the setting fontSize takes no effect.

How to?

Cheers,
  Harm
