Re: Tweaking glissando timing stems
Don’t worry, you’re doing far more on this than anyone could reasonably expect. The final result should be something along these lines, but what I was asking about is just the chord possibility. I have looked a little more into the code and it’s far far above my level, but I’ve found som places I could possibly act on… If you don’t have time for it I would be grateful for hints about what I could mess around with where in the code. gliss-notehead-example.pdf Description: Adobe PDF document Thanks! /Leo > 25 okt. 2021 kl. 09:42 skrev Thomas Morley : > > Am Mo., 25.

Re: Tweaking glissando timing stems
Dear Harm! I am very thankful for and moved by the effort you’re putting into this! One feature I would find useful would be the ability to make chords with one ”gliss-note” and one regular notehead. I implemented this (not entirely successfully) on top of an earlier version of your code by making it work only on transparent noteheads and leave untransparent ones where they were from start. I haven’t had time to read into this version and try to understand everything it does yet. Do you have an idea of how readily that could be done to this version? The use case here is that I’m working on a piece for violins, where they play chords consisting of a glissando on one string and repeated notes on an open string.

During this year's autumn break I had to finish some huge own work, before I had the opportunity to look into stemmed Glissando again. While I can confirm the issues you mentioned, I think the approach via Glissando.after-line-breaking is not the promising to be finally successful. Too many hassles and flaws... Thus I tried to follow a different route, not tackling Glissando at all, but Stems, Beams and NoteHeads, including an engraver (mostly to set certain pointers). Afaict, the above mentioned issues are gone, alas some others arose. The most annoying with added Script. Meanwhile I got some hints why it happens and how to solve (probably). Alas. my autumn break ends soon, I doubt I can proceed much. Thus, I attach the current state. Please, be aware, it's only an intermediate state!

Now with the attached example: When editing the example for the last time before sending it I noticed the second problem was only in the code I had written myself, and that the reproduction of it with your code had to do with another issue. In my case it probably have to do with some flaw in the code for taking additional, non-gloss noteheads into consideration. glissando-stems-06-problems.ly Description: Binary data > 5 okt. 2021 kl. 13:39 skrev Leo Correia de Verdier > : > > Dear Harm and list! > > After almost two years I’m back using this code and found some things I would > need help with. > (I have done some additions to it, so it can hackishly handle additional > noteheads on the stems/notecolumns and also tweaks rests passed by the > glissando line, byt as I’m not very experienced with code they’re too ugly to > be posted publicly) > > First, when adding more staves the function for the scripts catches the > scripts of simultaneous note columns in other staves too.

Re: Tweaking glissando timing stems
Dear Harm and list! After almost two years I’m back using this code and found some things I would need help with. (I have done some additions to it, so it can hackishly handle additional noteheads on the stems/notecolumns and also tweaks rests passed by the glissando line, byt as I’m not very experienced with code they’re too ugly to be posted publicly) First, when adding more staves the function for the scripts catches the scripts of simultaneous note columns in other staves too. I have tried to solve this by comparing the staff-symbol associated with them and tried getting to them via the NoteColumns, but with no success. Second, when beam slopes get steep the stems in the middle don’t attach to the beams. Third on the outmost notes, with visible noteheads, the stem connections of the noteheads go off. I think the solution would be to use original values for their stems instead of calculating them, but that would require some extra code for the beams… If two and three aren’t easy (just that I haven’t been able to solve them) they could be bypassed by allowing manual settings for stems, something like it’s done with beams. Would you have time to help me with this? Thanks! /Leo > 26 okt. 2019 kl. 12:39 skrev Thomas Morley : > > Am Fr., 25.

Attached the next iteration. Per default all Beams are parallel to the glissando. Though, I implemented the possibility to reset their position by using the new introduced subproperty beamed-glissando-stem-positions of details.

I don’t think it’s very crucial, but in the case of steeper glissandos I can see the use for less steep beams, just because they would look better and match the behavior of beams in other places, especially in shorter beamed groups.

The code recreates Stems (and moves Script), but it can't _move_ Beams. It would likely be possible to completely recreate Beam.stencil, though this is inconveniant and would add a lot code... Currently, this means my code sometimes returns ugly output for Beams, which will need to be corrected with an additional override for Beam.positions.

Re: Tweaking glissando timing stems
Thank you very much! Since I’m not very experienced with either lilypond or programming in general this will be a lot for me to break up, understand and work with, but it contains most of what I need. Now I’ll go and do my homework for some days (or even longer). In some time I’ll be back with results, whether they’ll be usable or not remains to be seen. The beams are needed for it to be really useful for me, but I’ll give script positions, slur positions and ability to handle broken glissandi at least some thought too. When you write that "inner beams positions can’t be affected from Glissando.after-line-breaking", do you mean it’s impossible, that they would need to be recreated rather than repositioned or just that the actual code can’t handle them yet?

See older discussions, p.e. here: https://codereview.appspot.com/4661061/#ps1 Some time ago I started to code something in this regard and took your request to polish it a bit. Though, there are still some TODOs: - Scripts are not always positioned nicely. - "Inner" beams 'positions can't be affected from Glissando.after-line-breaking. etc Furthermore I'm not sure the whole approach fits your needs. Nevertheless the code is attached, probably you'll find the calculation for "gliss-stem-intersections" helpful.

Tweaking glissando timing stems
Dear list! I'm soon going to start engraving a piece that contains very many glissandi with timing marks (or actually, glissandi with broken bowing and articulations during the way). The snippet in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/expressive-marks-as-lines#glissando mentions the stems might need to be repositioned slightly, and I was wondering if this would be possible to automate. I realize this will be complicated, since it (as I understand it at least) will require changing stem lengths and notehead attachments after the horizontal spacing is calculated (possibly changing pitches too, but the solution I’m imagining would not do that). So I would need to access the calculated positions of the stems and of the endpoints of the glissando. Is that possible? Where and what do I need to read up to accomplish it? Or has someone already done something similar? I have seen Piaras Hobans code in this thread: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2014-03/msg00717.html , and it’s interesting for me, but it relies on the stems being equally spaced, which they shouldn’t be in my case. In the following example I’m looking for a way to calculate up and y-diff in the glissNote function, instead of having to type them in by hand after looking at the resulting score. (The gap between the stems and glissando-line is intentional, the articulation positioning is just not done yet). I have not done it minimal because I wanted to give a glimpse of the point of the notation also. % \version "2.19.82" glissNote = #(define-music-function (up y-diff note) (boolean? number? ly:music?) #{ \tweak transparent ##t \tweak no-ledgers ##t \tweak stem-attachment #(cons (if up -1 1) y-diff) #note #} ) glissRest = #(define-music-function (staff-position rest) (number? ly:music?) #{ \tweak Y-offset #staff-position \tweak layer #-1 \tweak whiteout #10 \parenthesize #rest #} ) glissSkip = #(define-music-function (music) (ly:music?) #{ \override NoteColumn.glissando-skip = ##t #music \revert NoteColumn.glissando-skip #} ) \relative c'' { \time 6/8 \set glissandoMap = #'((1 . 1)) 16-> -\tweak layer #-2 \glissando \glissSkip { 8-. 16-. 8-> << {\glissRest #2.5 r8 s4} \\ {d,8_-_> ^. ^.} >> } \time 2/4 2-- } %% Thanks a lot! /Leo ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
