Why is skipTypesetting so loud?

[caagr98]

When using \set skipTypesetting, stderr is *flooded* with messages 
saying `programming error: asked to compute volume at ...`, `programming 
error: no current dynamic`, and `continuing, cross fingers`. This makes 
it rather difficult to see if there are any actual errors, since those 
are printed before the five thousand lines of spam.


It's fairly trivial to write a wrapper script to remove those lines, but 
the fact that the spam exists at all bothers me. It didn't exist in 
2.18. Why does it exist now?

So, here's a bonus, to be inserted immediately below the \version line
of your score:


\version "2.19.40"

% from snippet 197 (more to see at
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Search ):
#(define comml(object->string (command-line)))
#(define loc  (+ (string-rindex comml #\space ) 2)) 
#(define commllen (- (string-length comml) 2))
#(define filen(substring comml loc commllen))
% filename
#(define modt (stat:mtime (stat filen)))
% Last modified
#(define modts(strftime "%d %b %Y %H:%M:%S" (localtime
modt)))  % Command line

% gitrev (from

http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/why-use-version-control-for-engraving-scores/#more-2151
 )
#(use-modules (ice-9 popen))
#(use-modules (ice-9 rdelim))

% NOTE: This function only reads the first line of the command!
#(define (strsystem_internal cmd)
   (let* ((port (open-input-pipe cmd))
  (str (read-line port)))
 (close-pipe port)
 str))

#(define-markup-command (strsystem layout props cmd) (markup?)
   (interpret-markup layout props
 (strsystem_internal cmd)))

gitrev = \markup { \strsystem "/opt/local/bin/git rev-parse
--short HEAD" }

\header {
  tagline = \markup{  \center-column{ 
\concat {"Music engraving by Lilypond " 
$(lilypond-version) "-www.lilypond.org"
}
\line { "Version control for this edition: gitrev "
\gitrev " " \modts }
}}
}


Now you can tell whether that paper copy is up-to-date.  Of course, you
don't want this code cluttering up every lilypond score, so best put it
in a separate file and \include it.

Welcome to Lilypond. :-)

I also hate the mouse, and I compose music with vim and lilypond. Which
means I can work on my music remotely via SSH over a low-bandwidth link.
No need for bandwidth (and memory) hogging VNC's. And yes, version
control.  I use git, which allows me to experiment with different
branches (different ways of scoring a passage) quickly and easily, and
without risk of losing previous versions should I decide to revert.

Not to mention the beautiful scores Lilypond produces.

You're in good company here. ;-)

How about:


\version "2.19.40"

\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "a4")
  print-all-headers = ##t
}

\score {
  \header {
title = "A score of A's"
composer = "Albinoni"
  }

  { \repeat unfold 24 a'1 \bar "|." }
}

\markup \vspace #10

\score {
  \header {
title = "Better with B's"
composer = "P.D.Q.Bach"
  }

  { \repeat unfold 24 b'1 \bar "|." }
}

\markup \vspace #10

\score {
  \header {
title = "All at C"
composer = "Chopin"
  }

  { \repeat unfold 24 c''1 \bar "|." }

lilyvim

[Christian Meyerolbersleben]

Hello,

I got used typesetting my musical scores with lilypond using the 
wonderful vim.


Some time ago I used the lilyvim package designed by Heikki Junis 
respectively Aaron Mehl. Badly some of these files disappeared from my 
computers.


I tried to contact Aaron and Heikki to get the lilyvim package from 
them. But all of the mail addresses I tried failed.


Does anyone of you happen to have this package or would you be so kind 
to send me a working mail address of Heikki or Aaron?


Thanks in advance

Christian

Markup commands get a "layout" argument.

You can then access the paper-width variable inside.  Dimensions are in
units depending on staff spaces, so you usually want to adjust for
that.  Which is reasonably easy, given that units are also expressed in
staff spaces.  There may be rounding errors due to that.

#(define-markup-command (print-width layout props unit) (symbol?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
   (format #f "~f ~s" (/ (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'paper-width)
		  (ly:output-def-lookup layout unit)) unit)))

\markup { "Paperwidth is" \print-width #'cm "." }

Get the paper size in scheme

[Robert Kubosz]

Hi everyone!

I am currently creating a template for a book. I want to create a scheme
function, which adapts markup according to paper size. The problem is,
that I don't know how to get current paper size.

AFAIK there is #(set-default-paper-size "paper-size") and I could not
find a variable holding the paper size.

I want to ask you where to find the paper size or how to overpass this
problem?
