Dear Lilypond users, My son started to learn playing the violin, he is 7 years old. His theatcher gave to him a blank sheet to practise writing the violin clef.
I decided to make a pre-written sheet with violin keys for easy learning. Thank you for the programmers of Lilypond, I was successful, so I public my Lilypond file here: -----------------------------------------cut here------------------------------------- \layout{ indent = #0 } violinsettings = { %I don't want to change the Clef's size \override Staff.Clef #'full-size-change = ##t %Well, I am absolutely not sure about this. %I'd like many violin cleffs \override Staff.Clef #'break-visibility = ##(#t #t #t) %Let the Clef's color grey, so children can redraw it with %a pencil \override Staff.Clef #'color = #(x11-color 'grey80) } %---------------------------------------------- %The big violins %---------------------------------------------- \new Score \with { \override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t defaultBarType = #"" \remove Bar_number_engraver } << \new Staff { \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #4 \override Staff.Clef #'font-size = #+12 s1 % Let the first violin black \violinsettings s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 \break s1 s1 s1 s1 \break } >> %---------------------------------------------- %The medium-sized violins %---------------------------------------------- \new Score \with { \override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t defaultBarType = #"" \remove Bar_number_engraver } << \new Staff { \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #2 \override Staff.Clef #'font-size = #+6 s1 \violinsettings s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 \break s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 \break } >> %---------------------------------------------- %The normal-sized violins %---------------------------------------------- \new Score \with { \override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t defaultBarType = #"" \remove Bar_number_engraver } << \new Staff { s1 \violinsettings s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 \break s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 s1 \break } >> -----------------------------------------cut here------------------------------------- Because writing small things is a hard task for a child, the sheet starts with HUGE violin clefs. The color of clefs is grey, so children can re-draw it with a pencil or pen. After practising with re-drawing, children can write his/her own violin clefs onto the gaps between the pre-written ones. I am a new lilypond user and I can't know the Scheme language. I wrote this lilypond file after the "Empty Staff" example in the Lilypond user guide. Please let me know, if there is a better/more elegant way for doing this. http://www.nabble.com/file/p15402276/violin-sheet.pdf violin-sheet.pdf Thank you Peter -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/educational-use---writing-violin-clefs-with-pen-tp15402276p15402276.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
