Well, issue 1933 URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1933 would suggest that this is a bad idea. Nothing substantially has changed since then. I'm currently trying to get the TEXINPUTS stuff integrated into the Mingw fix to arrive back at a working lilypond-book, but of course it is to be hoped that moving Python forward to 2.6 might make that problem go away. But it will take longer to figure that out.

Problems with tremolo signs
I'm having problems with a tremolo sign (see snippet): 1) It's too short - surely there should be a minimum size for it and it should be shunted to the next line? 2) It's in rather an odd place vertically: surely it should be either between the notes if they're well-separated as here or below both of them? 3) In printed music, tremolo signs between notes (not when attached to stems) are usually slanted, which stops them getting mixed up with the staff lines. I agree that there are probably tweaks for these, but I'd hope that the defaults wouldn't need tweaking.

Hyphen in a lyrics word
Hi, I have to write this word in the lyrics “seen-a”. This is how it’s written as text. It should be sung on two notes (like seen -- a). But in case the notes are close, it should remain “seen-a” and not “seena”. Is this issue [2463][] (which is a different usecase but might be used for this, too) or am I missing something? This should be a common usecase for all words containing hyphens, shouldn’t it? I had expected “seen - a” to work, but then the “-” takes up an extra note.

Automatically realize figured bass
Hi everybody, a few weeks ago my father asked me whether there is a tool that automatically realizes figured bass (I think you say “realize” for the act of composing the right hand accompaniment, don’t you?). I didn’t know such a tool, so I wrote a simple one in Haskell but this wasn’t clever enough (worked only under certain preconditions, used backtracking instead of something faster, didn’t weight solutions by their “goodness”, etc.). But now I have several ideas how to improve such a tool (represent chords as vertices in a graph, edges are weighted (unison/octave parallels get a very high score etc.), then find the best solution using the Dijsktra or Bellman-Ford wayfinding algorithm, …). I don’t know whether such a tool could be implemented in LilyPond itself (as an engraver?) or it would be better to write a separate program (like lilypond-book/musicxml2ly/…). In the latter case, I think we would be relatively free in the choice of a programming language ;) The german LilyPond forum doesn’t seem to be very interested in such a project yet. But there are so many more LilyPonders “out there” ;) Would someone on this list be interested • to use such a tool if someone implemented it? • to implement such a tool?

Re: Automatically realize figured bass
Hi Malte, Almost all my music typesetting involves typesetting figured bass, and in addition I have created a way of realizing figured bass by playing on a MIDI keyboard (see the demo at https://vimeo.com/62426412 ). I have used this to create LilyPond engraved scores which a keyboard player found adequate for playing an accompaniment. One thing I think you would need is the ability to set the likely rate of chord change - figured bass is an ambiguous notation even when the figures are relatively complete (and they are rarely that) - but on the question of whether a note is to be treated as a passing note or a harmony note it is completely silent. I guess you could consider using Denemo as your representation of the data (bass notes with figures attached, and if you want to really push the boat out, all the other notes that are being sounded at the same time). It has a scheme interface which allows you to enquire about notes and their durations, iterate, etc and it does have a separate data type for the attached figures. (I noticed to my dismay that Finale when exporting figured bass in MusicXML just exports bits of text distributed in suggestive manner below the bass note, indistinguishable from any other text that might be there). I have quite a large collection (several hundred) of scores with figured bass in Denemo format (and hence available also in LilyPond format), if they would be of use to you. They include the entire set of Handels figured bass exercises, which covers quite a lot of figured bass notation (these are publicly available in the Denemo distribution itself).

Re: Issue with downloaded manuals
On 06/04/14 02:41, Peter Toye wrote: Issue with downloaded manuals I've downloaded the big file HTML version of some manuals, and the links in the table of contents frame to the left of the window refer to the LilyPond web site, rather than the local copy. The links in the main text refer to the local copy. This is a bit of a pain if the internet's being slow (or possibly it's the servers), as well as a bit confusing. Is this meant to happen? The manuals I've tried are the learning, motation and internals. If it's of any use to you, I've created fully indexed and searchable PDF portfolios of the complete documentation sets (Learning, Notation, Usage, Snippets, Web, Extending, and Internals). About 55Mb each: 2.18 docs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6mrdnashy3zxgq2/lilydoc-2.18.0.pdf 2.19 docs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7xlxd2qbrcyoj73/lilydoc-2.19.3.pdf You'll need Adobe Reader 9 or later in order to use them effectively - third party PDF readers can't cope with PDF portfolios.

Re: MetronomeMark aligned to accidentals
Daniel, you wrote Saturday, April 05, 2014 1:44 PM I would like the MetronomeMark to be aligned with the left edge of the leftmost Accidental (almost with the BarLine, but not quite). I've been trying to manipulate the Score.MetronomeMark.non-break-align-symbols property, but to no avail (I'm not sure I quite understand how that property works; it's a little unclear to me in the IR). Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I think you'll find all you need to know in the following section. You can't align to an accidental using this, but by using an offset from an alignment to the bar line anchor you may be able to achieve the positioning you want. http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/aligning-objects#using-the-break_002dalignable_002dinterface Trevor ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Whiteout box function by Thomas Morley / need help

Now I want to modify this function to make it work like: \dynamicTextWhiteout #'(1 . 2) where: - first number is LEFT X-extent - second number is RIGHT X-extent I don't need Y-extent at all.

python 2.6 in GUB Re: LilyPond-Book on Windows

Well, issue 1933 URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=1933 would suggest that this is a bad idea. Nothing substantially has changed since then. I'm currently trying to get the TEXINPUTS stuff integrated into the Mingw fix to arrive back at a working lilypond-book, but of course it is to be hoped that moving Python forward to 2.6 might make that problem go away. But it will take longer to figure that out. Doesn't Julien have GUB with python 2.6 ready for testing? I would move forward on that before diving into the dark waters of os.popen in python 2.4. I remember bug 1933; it was really annoying. Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
