Could I get a critique on my first lilypond tab?
Anything anyone wants to tell me about better slicker more elegant ways
of doing the same things would be awesome.
I'm attaching the lilypond file for Let Him Roll, a Guy Clark talking
blues. He essential plays the same thing over and over. What I've got
covers the main two variations.
I couldn't find anything that covered hammering and pulling with H and P
either under or over the tab or on the slur line, so just followed the
suggestion to use an appoggiatura for a hammer for something that
switched notes on the beat, and a grace notey sort of thing for a quick
hammer that just borrowed a bit from the beginning of the note for the
original note before the hammer.
I'm not sure how you would know the difference between a hammer and a pull.
You'll see my attempt to put H at appropriate places doesn't work.
Apparently a TabStaff is missing whatever engraver would put them in? I
can put them in the regular staff, and it works, tucking them under the
Chords, but it's not at all what I want. Help!!!;)

I figured it out. It was the Text_engraver I needed. So I'm attaching
a new version that has H in the appropriate place. Please let me know
if there are better/more elegant ways of doing the things I do here.

Re: RhythmicStaff vs. repeat bar-aligned markup
LilyPond normally only places Rehearsal Marks above the top staff. To get rid
of marks altogether, add this to the top of your code:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove Mark_engraver
\remove Staff_collecting_engraver
}
}
Then add
\consists Mark_engraver
\consists Staff_collecting_engraver
to the \with for your main staff - this will add the rehearsal marks back in
for that staff.

Subject: RhythmicStaff vs. repeat bar-aligned markup
This one's beyond me. I want to insert some markup that aligns with the
repeat bar instead of a musical note. It so happens that there's a
RhythmicStaff above the main staff and over the measure where the repeat bar
is, so my repeat bar-aligning markup text (Repite ad lib.) now appears above
the RhythmicStaff, instead of above the main staff with the other markup
(Guía), as it would if there were no RhythmicStaff.
Here's some code that will reproduce my problem:
\new Staff = main
\with {\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2.5 . 2.5)}
\relative a { \clef treble \key c \major \time 6/8
%{measure 1 %} {\repeat volta 2 {a4 ^\markup {\bold {Guía}}c8 ~ c8 a8 [ a8
]
%{measure 2 %} g8 a4 a4.}}
\new RhythmicStaff \with {alignAboveContext = #main fontSize = #-3 }
{b4 b8 r8 b8 b8 r8 b4 b4 b8}
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols = #'(repeat bar)
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\mark\markup{\normalsize Repite \normalsize\italic{ad lib.}}
%{measure 3 %} e1^\markup {\bold {Guía}}}
Can I get the repite ad lib. to align horizontally with the Guía?
TIA

My OS is CentOS 5.6 and I have done perhaps 100 or more package updates to the operating system in the last week though. Among other packages that were updated was the Cups package. Several libraries were also updated. Might updating the OS packages have caused lilypond to no longer produce .pdf files? If so, I guess a solution would be to uninstall and then reinstall lilypond?

Re: PDFs no longer created: error: -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4
I see from the logs that I updated ghostscript on April 20. Might this be the culprit?

It looks like the previous file :-) I added the Text_engraver to the TabStaff, so now the Hs show up. That's the only change, but the output suddenly became closer to what I want, although I'd really rather have the Hs show up above the slurs. BTW, I don't think that you are allowed to post copyrighted music on a public list. Well, in the US every written work by anyone is copyright upon creation. If you were right, nothing could be posted, not even this email. I get your point though, I imagine you're saying that posting (publishing), work that transcribes work that I don't own the copyright to without the permission of the owner of the original copyright opens me to the owners assertion that his rights have been violated.I love watching copyright rules change through the years, but I'm not a lawyer. I have separately and previously contacted his management company to see what they think of me sharing the tab online along with the tabs of dozens of other songs of his out there, but I haven't heard anything back from them yet. I'll be sure to let the group know. Cheers, Federico Best regards, Patrick ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'll be sure to let the group know. There are dozens of websites out there that share tablatures for copyrighted songs without ever being sued... But it's all about liability: even if it was morally right (which I believe it is), the GNU project that's hosting these public mailing lists can't afford to take any risks, so Federico is welcome to remind us of potential legal issues. (As for lilynet.net mailing lists, which I'm the only one responsible for, I am perfectly OK with letting people post tablatures or possibly-copyrighted material; if it ever comes under scrutiny or if I ever get any cease-and-desist notification, then we'll see.) Anyway, thanks for sharing! Cheers, Valentin. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: RhythmicStaff vs. repeat bar-aligned markup
Wow. Couldn't even find that in the command index. But it worked just as you
said.
