Re: Symmetrical hairpins
Hello Arjen,
I’m wondering if in your case it ight be beneficial to not create two Hairpins,
but rather a special case stencil like this:
%
#(define (ly:expr-hairpin::print grob)
(let* ((orig (ly:hairpin::print grob))
(sp (ly:grob-property grob 'shorten-pair '(0 . 0)))
(spl (car sp))
(spr (cdr sp))
(t (ly:grob-property grob 'text #f))
(tst (if t (grob-interpret-markup grob t) empty-stencil))
(tst (ly:stencil-translate-axis
(ly:stencil-aligned-to (ly:stencil-aligned-to tst Y CENTER) X
CENTER)
(interval-center (ly:stencil-extent orig X))
X))
(bp (ly:grob-property grob 'gap 0.3))
(bp2 (ly:grob-property grob 'bound-padding 0.3))
(len (interval-length (ly:stencil-extent orig X)))
(pad (if t (* 2 bp2) bp))
(shorten (/ (+ len pad (interval-length (ly:stencil-extent tst X)))
2))
(st1 #f)
(st2 #f))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'shorten-pair (cons spl (+ spr shorten)))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'grow-direction RIGHT)
(set! st1 (ly:hairpin::print grob))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'shorten-pair (cons (+ spl shorten) spr))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'grow-direction LEFT)
(set! st2 (ly:hairpin::print grob))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'shorten-pair sp)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'grow-direction RIGHT)
(ly:stencil-add st1 st2 tst)))
expr = -\tweak stencil #ly:expr-hairpin::print -\<
{
2\expr 2\!
2\mp\expr 2\!
1\mp\tweak text \markup\dynamic f \expr 1 1 \!
}
%
Cheers,
Valentin

How do I set the Scheme sandbox to \language = "english"?
I'm trying to learn more about Scheme by "playing in the sandbox". When I tried to convert the string "d" to a pitch, it converted correctly. When I tried the same thing with "bf" I ended up with what I think is still a string. I'm guessing that's because the sandbox is not using English note names. Is there a variable to set or some sort of "include" that would convince it to use English note names?
Re: Beam issue
Thanks William for your help.

See
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/notation/setting-automatic-beam-behavior
In engraving from the Romantic and Classical periods, beams often
begin midway through the measure in 3/4 time, but modern practice is
to avoid the false impression of 6/8 time (see Gould, p. 153). Similar
situations arise in 3/8 time. This behavior is controlled by the
context property beamHalfMeasure, which has effect only in time
signatures with 3 in the numerator:
\relative a' {
\time 3/4
r4. a8 a a |
\set Timing.beamHalfMeasure = ##f
r4. a8 a a |
}

Hi,
In a normal musical notation when you have a time signature of 3/4
and have a dotted note, eighth note, eighth note and an eighth note -
that the first eighth note should have "no beam". This is how other
software like MuseScore and Finale works. Why does Lilypond do this?
I know there is a \noBeam markup but in my case this is be difficult
to use as I'm dynamically generating the notation.
Any advise will be helpful. See the attached image for illustration.
Thanks,
Raj
