Great idea, thank you. Actually it's pretty much along the lines I was 
already thinking about - but I hadn't thought of the obvious of doing it 
directly in context-mod->props.


Although I'm undecided on what would be a convenient way of storing 
the 'requirement data'. The obvious one to me is an alist with a 
structure like this: `((key1 . (required . #t)) (key2 . ((default . 9) 
(pred . ,number?))) ...), but I'm not sure. What do you think?




The "required" is not necessary because if a key shows up in this list 
it implicltly is required. One addition I'd do is add a keyword 'strict. 
When that's present any keys *not* in the list are rejected.


#(define rules
   `((key1 .;; type plus default
   ((type . ,number?)
(default . 5)))
 (key2 .;; only the type
   ((type . ,symbol?)))
 (key3) ;; required without type or default
 (key4 .;; default value but no type
   ((default . #t)))
 ))

#(define rules2
   (cons
'strict
`((key1 .
((type . ,number?)
 (default . 5)))
  (key2 .
((type . ,symbol?))


With rules1 the function would simply check for the presence of the 
specified keys while with rules2 unknown keys would be rejected (issue a 
warning and be dropped)


Defining the rules structures is somewhat picky - but this won't be done 
in the *user* documents but basically in packages or similar library 
structures, so it should be ok.


I'll give that a shot as I can use this in a current project - but of 
course I'd also review pull requests ;-)

[Stefano Troncaro]

First of all, I apologize for the delayed response, I wanted to write back
earlier but I couldn't find the time to delve into your last suggestions.
Thank you for the useful replies!

@Harm
I don't understand most of what the code you provided is doing, only that
it works. It's far too advanced for me, so (unfortunately) dissecting it
would require much more time than what I currently have. It looks
interesting though, I hope I can study it in more detail later.

I did manage to look a little bit into macros, and I have a question if you
don't mind. This chapter of the guile documentation

explains about define-syntax and syntax-rules. They appear to work but
generate an error message about wrong number of arguments to a music
function. Is that module not usable in Lilypond?

Example that works:

I understand that the rules had changed over time and that back then

Talking specifically about using the dot right now, and letting
lilypond figure out that that it "spills" into the following bar, I
don't think that will be fine for my use case because I'm using
polyphony at that point and that would make lilypond think that when I
start writing for the following bar it would start half a beat later
and so I would not be able to write the bass g on the bar before last
(and I'd rather avoid hacking it too hard just to keep it simple...
that's why I try to write bars separately). If a way to write the dot
the way it is written on the original manuscript comes up later on,
I'll be happy to modify the file and push it to the repo so that it
matches the manuscript more closely.

Thank you very much for your feedback.

PS Change is already on the repo, just in case

If you’re trying to turn this into an ‘authoritative’ representation as 
LilyPond code, fortunately there’s the option of coding it as a dotted 
note and if necessary displaying it with ties using the 
Completion_heads_engraver – a great tool for ancient music.
And once there is a LilyPond engraver that can produce the original way

Re: How to write this note from chaconne?

[Guy Stalnaker]

Edmundo,

You've encountered an earlier engraving convention for how to show pitches
that continue from a previous measure. If you look at more autograph and
earlier published scores from the 17th and 18th centuries you'll find this.
It is, essentially, what we today call a "tied" note. I'm sure you know how
that looks. While you can attempt to discover a way to typeset this in
Lilypond, perhaps the better course is to use modern convention unless you
actually intend to use older conventions. But then, you'll likely need to
include an Explanations page for people to explain this unfamiliar
notation. I did a quick review of imslp.org and sure enough the first score
listed for BWV1004 shows this dot-as-tie (the Bach-Gesellschaft Ausgabe,
Band 27 Breitkoph and Haertel from 1879) while the Neue Bach-Ausbgabe from
1958 shows the tied note.

Thanks for your reply, Simon. Oh! So, it's just a simple dot only
that it's written in a way that would break the "normal" rules about
how to use it (it wouldn't fit on the previous bar so a tie to a 8th
note starting the bar is what I would have written) and that's why I

How to write this note from chaconne?

[Edmundo Carmona Antoranz]

Hi!

You know the chaconne from BWV 1004, right? On the bar before last,
there's an apparent dot written at the position of the f at the
opening of the bar. I didn't know if it was a staccato mark or other
kind of expressive mark for the violin or a mistake but I also found
it on Anna Magdalena' Bach's manuscrit, not just Bach's. So I asked
around[1] and apparently it's a "harmonic delay" or a prolongation...
it's the first time ever I see something like that written on a part
(though I know the concept of the harmonic delay from the few classes
of harmony I did "back in the day"). So I looked around how to
write it on lilypond but i found nothing. What do you think is the
best way to achieve it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Centered full-measure rest in 3/4?

[Torsten Hämmerle]

Hi Karen,

We all know that your client's preferred solution is against the rules, but,
if she wants it that way, this is a good exercise. :)

Overriding the MultiMeasureRest stencil is not too easy, because the dots
are a case of their own and generally not used for whole-bar rests at all.

There are two things to be considered:

(1) LilyPond will only use semibreve (or longer) rest symbols, but we want
minim rests in this special case.
Solution: There's a property "usable-duration-logs" containing a list of
allowed duration-log values. We need to add a 1 there (for minim rests). If
we add a 2 and a 3, LilyPond will even use crotchet rests and quaver rests:

  \override MultiMeasureRest.usable-duration-logs = #'(-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3)


(2) We still have a remaining problem: the missing dot. Dots are not a part
of ordinary whole-bar rests, and that's why we have to build our own
stencil.
I've used the standard MultiMeasureRest.stencil and added the standard "dot"
stencil, just shifted up by 0.5 stave units. If you set dot-count to 3, you
will get three dots.

It's a bit inelegant that you'll have to explicitly set the number of dots
you want to have displayed, but, as a result, you can specify any rest you
want as a multi measure rest (whole-bar rest). 

Here's a minimal example demonstrating the use of the new custom-mm-rest
stencil, even with dotted crotchet rests just for fun (knowing that they
should not be centered).

%%%
\version "2.18.2"

#(define (custom-mm-rest grob)
   (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge
(ly:multi-measure-rest::print grob) X RIGHT
(ly:stencil-translate-axis (ly:dots::print grob) 0.5 Y) 0))


 \new PianoStaff <<
   \new Staff \relative {
 \time 3/4
 2 8-. q-. |
 2 q4 |
 c,16 d e f g a b c g e c8 |
 \time 3/8
 c8 e g |
 f d b |
 c16 e g f d b |
   }
   \new Staff \relative {
 \time 3/4
 \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil = #custom-mm-rest
 \override MultiMeasureRest.usable-duration-logs = #'(-3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3
4)
 \override MultiMeasureRest.dot-count = #1
 R2.*3
 \time 3/8
 R4.*3
   }
 >>

In short:
(1) set custom stencil
(2) extending the usable-duration-logs list by adding minim, crotchet,
quaver rests
(3) explicitly set the dot-count to 1 so that a dotted rest symbol will be
printed.
Voilà ! :)

The answer is very simple: Don’t do it. Tell your client it’s wrong 
notation. One has to do that as an engraver.
Exception: your client is very well aware of the rules, but she wants to 
change them deliberately.

This is one of the cases where if LilyPond can’t do it (within 
reasonable effort) it’s a bad thing to do.

notation. One has to do that as an engraver.
Exception: your client is very well aware of the rules, but she wants to 
change them deliberately.


I have searched the documentation for several hours and cannot seem to 
figure out how to do this.


This is one of the cases where if LilyPond can’t do it (within 
reasonable effort) it’s a bad thing to do.

It should do.

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/usage/command_002dline-usage

"Note to Windows users: By default lilypond.exe outputs all progress 
information to the command window, lilypond-windows.exe does not and returns

a prompt, with no progress information, immediately at the command line. The

'-dgui' option can be used in this case to redirect output to a log file."

Re: Centered full-measure rest in 3/4?

[Karen Billings]

Kieren,
Thank you so much for trying to help me. I couldn't figure out how to override 
the stencil (I'm afraid I'm still too much of a novice), but I finally figured 
out how to shift a regular rest horizontally so it appears a bit more centered.
Thank you again!

I assume you’d want to use a MultiMeasureRest (i.e., R2.), and override the 
stencil to look like you want it to.

Hope that puts you on the right path!

Re: ScholarLy and Latex

[Urs Liska]

Hi Craig,

sorry for the delay, but I had quite reduced capacities during the past 
week.


I'm even more sorry to inform you that what you experience is "expected 
behaviour" and the result of incomplete implementation :-(


The exported annotations put a number of information items (including 
the message!) in one optional argument, followed by four mandatory 
arguments with the curly braces.



However, in the .sty file the commands are defined to expect six 
arguments, the first one being optional:


\newcommand{\criticalRemark}[6][]{
\annotation[#1]{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}{#6}
{Critical Remark}}

This makes \criticalRemark call \annotation, pass its six arguments to 
it and one hard-coded "Critical Remark" argument as seventh.


The code exported from scholarly does not export that sixth argument, 
and consequently it is empty when it reaches \annotation.
As you have noticed, if you copy the entry to the end of the list of 
arguments it will be printed correctly.


I'm not sure what to advise you right now. Your are actually suffering 
from the fact that I didn't manage to keep hold of the project. In 
addition to what is "publicly" available there is an "initial LaTeX 
package" in the repository, on the unmerged branch 
'initial-latex-package' with substantial code additions and 
unfortunately the lack of review on my part. Maybe this branch is 
actually ready to be merged, but I simply don't really know.
And unfortunately I can't promise to change that immediately. Although I 
should take your report as the incentive to finally get back to that, 
now that lyluatex is also "out".


I have pushed a temporary fix to the temp-print-message branch. If you 
checkout that branch and recompile the LilyPond score the annotation 
message will be added to the list of arguments, and your report.sty will 
properly read in the message.
But I don't really like that hack, and you have to be aware that this 
interface may not be stable.


Sorry for not having much better info for you
Best
Urs

Hi Lilyponders,

I'm having a minor problem with getting my ScholarLy inp file to
work with Latex. The Latex output for each annotation looks like
this:

\criticalRemark
   [grob={DynamicText},
    grob-location={Can't display grob location yet},
    grob-type={DynamicText},
    input-file-name={fluteI.ily},
    context-id={Flauto 1},

edition/Parts/../Notes/fluteI.ily 55:2:2},
    type={critical-remark},
    message={Added missing \lilyDynamics{p}}]
    {18}{6}
    {Flauto 1}
    {DynamicText}

And within my Latex file each entry is displayed with this code:

\noindent
\theAnnotationNo\,)\\
\textit{(#7)}\\
\ifthenelse{\equal{#2}{\value{CurrentMeasure}}}
{}{\textbf{M. #2},
\setcounter{CurrentMeasure}{#2}}%
beat #3\\
#4\\
Affects: #5\\
``#6''}

My problem is that Latex won't display the #6 (the contents of
the message field). It is displaying the quotation marks but just
empty space in between. If I cut and paste the message field and
add it to the bottom of the code it displays perfectly correctly:

\criticalRemark
 [grob={DynamicText},
  grob-location={Can't display grob location yet},
  grob-type={DynamicText},
  input-file-name={fluteI.ily},
  context-id={Flauto 1},

  type={critical-remark},
  message={Added missing \lilyDynamics{p}}]
  {18}{6}
  {Flauto 1}
  {DynamicText}
  {Added missing \lilyDynamics{p}}


Any ideas where I could be going wrong?



Not yet, but could you please send a MWE, i.e. a complete file,
with maybe that critical remark just added in the file (instead of
inputted)? What exactly is context of the code that displays the
annotation, i.e. where's the complete definition of the
"\criticalRemark" macro?

Urs


Thanks in advance,

Craig

lyluatex, call for pre-beta review

[Urs Liska]

lyluatex (https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex) is a package for LuaLaTeX 
that allows the inclusion of LilyPond code in .tex documents and 
automatically manages their compilation with LilyPond.


By now the package is a fully-compatible superset to the lilypond-book 
script that ships with LilyPond, and we are preparing a significant v1 
release. Before uploading a Beta version to CTAN we invite the members 
of this mailing list to thoroughly test and review the package and its 
documentation. Please find the description and a rendered manual at 
https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex/issues/177

RE: Frescobaldi sudden failures on all machines

If there was any console output - it did work using lilypond.exe rather than
lilypond-windows.exe.

I'm afraid that the various users and folders on the two machines are
verbose and prone to finger trouble. I will pause a while and plan a series
of test rather than groping about in the dark.

Re: Define nr of measures per system

[Urs Liska]

Am 06.03.2018 um 18:47 schrieb Kieren MacMillan:

Hi Omri,


Another beginner question, but can't seem to find the answer in the 
documentation:
is it possible to define a constant number of measures per staff system?

There is no dead-simple, built-in way… but there are many ways of accomplishing 
what you want, each with pros and cons depending on exactly what functionality 
and flexibility you want.

For a constant number of measures per system, my favourite is David K's 
\bar-keeper, which I’ve shown in the snippet below.

(Aside: I’m not sure why this isn’t in the main base code… Given that David K 
coded it, I imagine it’s the most elegant solution possible to the problem he 
was tasked to solve. And it is a function that many, many users would 
appreciate having access to.)



Another approach that works well (and could easily be enhanced if there 
is interest) would involve openLilyLib packages, namely the page-layout 
package. Internally this uses the edition-engraver to "inject" breaks at 
specific positions which are targeting "measures", regardles of time 
signatures.


The current interface would be (skipping the installation and set-up here):

%%%
\include "oll-core/package.ily"
\loadPackage \with {
  modules = conditional-breaks
}
page-layout
\registerBreakSet my-breaks
\setBreaks my-breaks line-breaks 5.8.13.17.21.25
\applyconditionalBreaks my-breaks
%%%

This would apply line breaks at the measures given in the dot-separated 
list.


What I think would be a useful enhancement would be a function that adds 
a regular list of breaks, possibly limited to a section, for example with


\setBreaks my-breaks line-breaks 5.12.17.23.51
\addRegularBreaks my-breaks line-breaks 26 4 6

which would insert "6" breaks after "4" measures each, starting with 
"26", i.e. 26.30.34.38.42.46
Other interfaces could be thought of, in particular ways that apply the 
regular measures globally (i.e. not starting at a specific point) or 
"from here throughout the end".


Is this something I should add to the page-layout package?

Re: Define nr of measures per system

Another beginner question, but can't seem to find the answer in the

per staff system?


The Notation Reference (at 4.3.1) suggests:

For line breaks at regular intervals use \break separated by skips and 
repeated with \repeat.
For example, this would cause the following 28 measures (assuming 4/4 
time) to be broken every 4 measures, and only there:

<<
  \repeat unfold 7 {
    s1 \noBreak s1 \noBreak
    s1 \noBreak s1 \break
  }
  { the actual music... }
>>


The caveat here is that all measures have to have the same length, so 
time signature changes have to be coded manually.
Worse: if there should be any changes after the fact they have to 
manually be added to that breaking layer too.

If your terminal doesn't find LilyPond you can look into Frescobaldi's 
Preferences. There a path to the executable must be visible.

No.  Try running LilyPond in a terminal window (or see whether
Frescobaldi offers something like that) in order to see whether there is
any output accompanying the abort.

I suspect this is just because failed assertions now make LilyPond abort
with an error message and you previously ignored them (which was almost a
given since distributed binaries of LilyPond completely omitted them).

RE: Frescobaldi sudden failures on all machines

[peter.gentry]

I don't believe it

First thing this morning I try Fresco again.

1. very strange behavior the Fresco short cut image appeared in the Output
pane somewhat greyed out. Weird

2. I carry on and everything works as it should.

3. I don't like mysteries but as long as its working. 

Something odd in the bowels of windows I guess but what ???
