Re-arrange the voices to have the notes in the same voice (or alternatively, create an extra voice with hidden notes that has the tie). This may not always be possible. And BTW, it's normally easier to enter notes using relative mode, where the pitch of each note is relative to the preceding note Normally, sure, but... I'm working on a piece now for sheng, a Chinese instrument related to the free reed mouth organ /khaen/ common in Laos and Northeast Thailand. Like the guitar in the original example here, it's polyphonic (within fingering limitations) and most often notated on one staff. That means a lot of use of layers, and ties/slurs can get tricky. Since I'm just starting out with lilypond, I haven't developed that sixth sense to look at some complex notation and know immediately the best way to divide up the notes among layers. So I have to do a lot of moving notes between layers, preview, no, that doesn't look right, etc., and with every iteration, the octaves always got screwed up using relative mode. The original example is modernistic in the use of a lot of wide intervals. The benefit of relative mode is to avoid writing , or ' on every note, but if the style features a lot of intervals greater than a fourth, then that benefit disappears and absolute mode starts to look more attractive. My gut feeling is, if I will have to look at a lot of ,, and '' in either mode, then I would rather know that ,, *always* means exactly one specific octave... (admitting that all of this is a matter of taste). So for this piece, I'll use absolute mode pretty much throughout. But if my next piece uses more monophonic instruments and a less angular style, then yes, relative mode is a breeze in that case. (Another +1 for Frescobaldi -- convert to relative and convert to absolute.)

Very short lilypond snippets in LaTeX
Hey all, I am lilypond-booking a latex document where I endeavor to insert short snippets into fragments of text : The dynamic should be between \begin{lilypond} \markup { \dynamic ppp } \end{lilypond} and \begin{lilypond} \markup { \dynamic pp } \end{lilypond} . The typeset result is not nearly as nice as \markup { The dynamic should be between \dynamic ppp and \concat { \dynamic pp .} }. I'd like to achieve this, but in LaTeX w/o too much hard-coded tweakery. Thoughts?

I'd like to achieve this, but in LaTeX w/o too much hard-coded tweakery. Thoughts? Images don't inherently have a baseline/descenders. That's a real mess, but you can't really get around that, or the results will look awful. The Emacs/AUCTeX WYSIWYG extension preview-latex URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/preview-latex.html outputs messages to the console in the rendering process so that Emacs can pick up the baseline info (as well as bounding box info). The output is done to a given baseline (starting at the famous 1in,1in point) without regard of page boundaries. That way, the postprocessing can render to the right area. Different options for relaying the bounding box are invoked with the auctex and lyx options to the preview package, and the bounding box is relayed to PostScript specials or PDF box dimensions using the tightpage option. When not going through PostScript, the tool dvipng can pick up the baseline info from the PostScript specials nevertheless, and use a variety of methods for getting it out again: printed info on stdout, or padding the graphics until the baseline is at the center, and so on. It is worth taking a look at some of the options it implements. Note that none of this directly helps for your problem, since you don't need to get the baseline info out of LaTeX, but out of Lilypond. Nevertheless, there might be some food for thought here. The reason I can't use the native lilypond is because all of this is going into a table, and I don't want to go down the slippery slope of reimplementing latex in lilypond thru markup commands. Without the baseline, embedded in-line graphics look awful. You need to add it by hand (using \raisebox or similar), or devise an automatic process for getting at it.

Hello, As I already stated somewhere on this list (and as Xavier mentioned just before), I'm currently working on such a LaTeX package, that allows to consider Lilypond glyphs as glyphs in LaTeX.

Hey Markus, Slurs only make sense insofar as they act on individual voices. To improve the readability of your score, you could either : (1) put the two slurred in a second voice (2) create a glissando just between the a and bes remove the slur Option (2) comes up a fair bit in guitar music.

Re: orchestra and individual parts
Hi Marc, the problem with this approach is that one has to edit one file that contains all the music, (which can be long) then has to switch to another file that contains the score part for the part currently being edited. It seems a simple things but it makes a big difference when one has to do that over and over. It all depends on how much flexibility you want in your output, I think… I almost *always* put the music variables (content) and score definition (presentation) in different files. As one good example of how this helps me, consider my chamber opera, Drunken Moon. I have five different score files: two for the full score (one in C, one transposed), one for the vocal score (with piano reduction), one for the Tango [instrumental interlude] as a separate salon piece for piano trio, and one for the Sarabande [interlude] as a solo piano piece. To try to manage all of this in a single Lilypond file would: 1. be far too confusing (for me, anyway); 2. limit (or maybe eliminate) the possibility of outputting a single one of those 5 score options; 3. restrict (or at least hamper) applying different stylesheets to each score; and 4. add far more complexity scrolling/jumping within the one file, than the small difficulty added by the need to switch between content and presentation files. Of course, if you have a single simple output (e.g., you're always outputting all bookparts, and they all use the same stylesheet), then a single Lilypond file would likely be fine -- that's just not a situation I run into very often in my Lilypond work. But that's one of the great benefits of Lilypond: it is excellent at allowing each user to work according to that user's requirements/habits/preferences. =) Hope this helps!

Shouldn't the slur go from the note inside of the chord wich it actually starts on to the note which it actually ends on (from a to bes in attached example for flamenco guitar)? I agree that it should do so in some cases, but i don't think it should do so in all cases. Generally when two chords are slurred, only one slur is used. The problem arises when a mix of slurs and ties appear. In your case it would be best to have the slur attached to the notes that change, but consider this example: \version 2.14.1 \relative c' { \key f \major c e g c f ( d f bes d f ) c e g c f ( ~ d f bes d f ) } Here only one note is tied and 4 notes are slurred. I'd say that there should be only one slur for the whole chord in this case. I think the optimal solution here would be to extend slur syntax so that slurs could be defined inside chords (like ties): c' ~ g' ( e'' c' a') d'' cheers, Janek ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Snippet: Tie does not appear
2011/6/21 James Harkins jamshar...@gmail.com: I'm working on a piece now for sheng, a Chinese instrument related to the free reed mouth organ /khaen/ common in Laos and Northeast Thailand. Like the guitar in the original example here, it's polyphonic (within fingering limitations) and most often notated on one staff. That means a lot of use of layers, and ties/slurs can get tricky. Since I'm just starting out with lilypond, I haven't developed that sixth sense to look at some complex notation and know immediately the best way to divide up the notes among layers. So I have to do a lot of moving notes between layers, preview, no, that doesn't look right, etc. I had this problem when i first got some piano music to typeset. Amazingly, marking the paper score with crayons did the trick! I usually begin with looking at slursties (notes connected by them should go to one voice if possible) and finding big uninterrupted fragments that will be voiceOne and voiceTwo of each staff, separating them and then filling the gaps.

padding/collision question
Hello all, Shouldn't (or at least didn't at one time) dynamics and markup fall towards the staff if there is no collision? [I don't keep old versions of the app, but I *swear* this is a recent change…] For example, consider the snippet \version 2.15.1 \relative d''' { r2 r4 d^\ppp | \override DynamicText #'X-offset = #-6 r2 r4 d^\ppp } I would expect (hope!) that the second dynamic would fall towards the staff -- at the very least, I should be able to easily turn off whatever is keeping it aloft. Any hints/answers would be appreciated. Thanks, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Still puzzled by the format of so-called URLs in lilypond-user Digest

Clearly, the so-called URL above is not at all a URL, although it might be the tail of some legitimate URL. If I click on the URL, I get no joy. In this case, I would really like to see the ChordSlur.pdf file so as to better understand the issues involved in the user report. How exactly would I go about this? Is there some fixed prefix I can prepend to the URL which will result in a valid URL? Another problem with the above URL is the last segment, attachment-0001.bin. That's not a legitimate name for a pdf file. Even if the URL were legitimate, I'm pretty sure that my Firefox on Windows Vista and my Firefox on Mac OSX would not know what to do with the file. And I don't know either. Does the .bin extension indicate some sort of compression has been applied to the pdf? If so, what decompressor would I use under Vista or OSX to decompress attachment-0001.bin?

stem direction [Was: Snippet: Tie does not appear]
Thanks to all for your quick help! I adjusted the voices so that the E naturals I intend to tie are in the same lilypond voice. The tie now renders and correct notation results _however_ the problem I have now, is that direction of the stems that lilypond has chosen for each voice is _not_ the direction I wish. How does one override lilypond's stem directions for a particular note or voice. Also, though tie renders in the attached image, but I prefer the curve of the tie _below_ the E naturals, not _above_ as in the attached image. Is there a way to force in which direction the tie is written? Thanks again! \version 2.12.3 \include english.ly \score { \new Staff = guitar { \clef treble_8 \time 4/4 % guitar m01 { s2. g'8.
