Hello Saul,
maybe if you can show us what the problem is we might be able to find some way 
to get the behaviour you want from a recent lilypond version.

Got it, thanks.

This particular project is quite large and can't be updated past 2.18 due
to a change in the behavior of staff changing during part combining, which
breaks the method I use for managing wind staves. I'm not aware of a way to
accomplish comparable functionality in 2.19 or newer. I spent a few months
a couple years ago trying to write a patch but I eventually gave up.

Hello Paolo,

I did not mean it this way. I meant it like: In most cases one can prepare a 
score using Lilypond 2.23 (so using Spontini) that is compatible with a 
Lilypond 2.18 version.

So Saul can probably use Spontini and 2.23 to do his tweaks and still obtain a 
2.18 compatible file.

Cheers,
Valentin

Hello Valentin,

porting the scheme/LilyPond functions used by Spontini-Editor, in its
internal library, from 2.18 to 2.19, would not complete the compatibility.
In fact, the editor relies on the SVG code generation too, which had
changes during these years of LilyPond development.
Therefore, the only way that Saul could use to accomplish what he asked, is
to convert his score from 2.18 to >=2.19.84 and then feed Spontini-Editor
with the converted score.


Best,
P

2021-10-19 Thread Valentin Petzel
Hello Saul,

in many cases a 2.23 ly file will be compatible with a 2.18 Lilypond.

The only problematic cases should be when Spontini uses overrides that did not 
exist in 2.18 (which shouldn't be that many) or if you are using music function 
that have changes names or syntax, which can also be amended by renaming the 
new ones to old ones or creating wrapper music functions, so you can have a few 
definitions that can simply be removed for 2.18.

But is there any reason for using such an old Lilypond version?

Cheers,
Valentin

ANN: Spontini-Editor 1.0 released

2021-10-17 Thread Paolo Prete
Hello all,

I just drafted a new release (1.0) of Spontini-Editor, which is now
compatible with LilyPond 2.23.0 to 4

https://github.com/paopre/Spontini

Furthermore, it offers a tool that allows you to include or exclude blocks
from the building process of the score.

I encourage the use of the editor, which I could test intensively, because
it is essentially bug-free, it works perfectly on a Raspberry PI (or any
similar cheap hw) and it allows you to create *very complex* piano scores.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
