Any interest in participating in GSoC for SugarLabs project that utilizes lilypond?

2018-01-22 Thread Devin Ulibarri

GhostScript Fail (regression 2.19.17 to 2.19.18)

I'm getting a failure all-around on a new Arch VM I'm running in my windows machine. I'm using lyp here to make a/b version testing easier. Basically, the gs command is failing when liilypond runs it but it works just fine when I copy/paste it and run it manually. 2.19.17 works, but 2.19.18 fails.

Hi Andrew, That's right, slurs are quadratic beziers and you can adjust the control points. If you have used Adobe Illustrator it should be clear, for the bezier curves there are the same. Possibly more than you need to know, but some nice illustrations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier

Hi Álvaro, In the very likely case that you're using custom title markup anyway, I'd like to mention the possibility of simply adding any desired non-standard header variable to the \header section: \header { transcriber = "Álvaro Cáceres Muñoz" } ...and retrieving it later in your custom book

I just jumped into that thread and will give my 2 cent: I know violine- and guitar- and bass-teachers that have a large mirror in the teaching room for the leftys. I have nothing against special coding if developers find it worth the time. But a mirror is a cheap, fast and easy solution. reg
