Forcing Litlypond-book
Dear members, I have a group of .ly files that I need to update because o some changes I have made on a layout file which is included in some files of my document (not all of them). Executing lilypond-book gives no updating, because the files themselves have not been changed.

Hello A, touch filename will change the modification date (part of so-called metadata) and lilypond-book will handle it alright. Otherwise, tools such as make and make can handle dependencies as you need.

Replace slur events with skip
I tried to change the tiedNoteToSkip procedure to also skip slurs. For some
reason, it does not seem to work the same way. It skips the first note in a
3 note slur, but not the second.
Here is the script:
\version 2.19.15
#(define (name-of music) (ly:music-property music 'name))
tiedNoteToSkip = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
(let ((prev-was-tie? #f))

(cond ((memq (name-of evt) '(EventChord NoteEvent))

(or (not (or (eq? (name-of x) 'SlurEvent)
(eq? (name-of x) 'TieEvent)))
(begin (set! prev-was-tie? #t)
#f)))
evt)))
(if old-flag (skip-of-length evt) res
(else (ly:music-property music 'duration #f

music = \relative c' {e4 e8 ( d16 e16) g2 g g16 (c16 a8) g4 c4 ~c~ c}

No time to look at this in depth, but my first guess is that you need to
find a way to remember that you still have a slur between the event that
creates it and the event that terminates it.
To see how the music expression is different for slurs versus ties, compare
the output of the following:
\displayMusic {
c''4( b' c'')
}
\displayMusic {
c''4~ c''~ c''
}
You'll see that for slurs, there is a SlurEvent with span-direction which
begins and ends the slur, but no evidence of a slur in between. Ties are
from note-to-note, and apparently there was thought to be no need of both
initiating and terminating events. How you'd ever get this to work with
tieWaitForNote set to #t, I couldn't say.

I don't think that this is documented in the docs, but in the sources:
In lily/clef-engraver.cc:
85/**
86 Generate a clef at the start of a measure. (when you see
a Bar,
87 ie. a breakpoint)

89void

92 Item *item = info.item ();
93 if (item scm_is_string (get_property (clefGlyph)))
94create_clef ();
95}
If there is not bar line to be acknowledged, the clef will not be
printed.
I don't know whether this is the desired behaviour as there are cases
where you need the clef and line breaks, but no bar lines.
HTH a bit,
Thanks, Marc - that does help. Even if I'd thought to look in the
sources I wouldn't have really grasped what that meant. For me, for this
purpose, it isn't the desired behaviour. I wonder if there's a good
reason for it? Anyway, at least now on the email list there's a note of
the behaviour if anyone searches for it in future,
So, to summarise - to remove bar lines and have automatic line breaking
but retain the clef at the new line you can't use
\context {Staff \remove Bar_engraver}
(.e.g in layout, for a group of scores) - instead, you need to use
\override Staff.BarLine.stencil = ##f
which has to go in each score, but for batch overriding you can add the
override to the score using a variable, which can of course be used for
other purposes as well.

Re: Beaming on the quarter note
Peter,
This was an excellent suggestion. I now have a BeamingOverrides variable
in my standard header which I insert in the \score [here] of my LY
file. Works like magic.
As I almost always write choral music where delineating visually beats
is an aid in singing (one's average Chancel Choir is not composed of
professional, trained singers), I love being able to do it this way.
Once again Lilypond rocks.
Thank you.

using \lyricmode gives me very badly aligned lyrics with differing amounts

Nalesnik's Roman number analysis code
Mr. Nalesnik: thank you for making public your scheme code
for writing Roman Numeral/figured bass analysis:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/70354
This code has been invaluable to me for writing examples for a music
theory course.
I have one small issue, and that is, when I want to
put three Arabic numerals that are to be in one vertical line
after a roman number, the numbers are not rendered this way,
as demo-ed by my attached sample lilypond file.
Yes, I know that the figured bass 6 5 3 is usually abbreviated
as 6 5, but for the purposes of instruction, I find it desirable to
sometimes have all three Arabic numbers.
Is there a way that your code can be expanded to accommodate
three Arabic numbers in one vertical column?
I see that your above post is dated March of 2012, and
so perhaps, you have some more recent code that has
been made available?
Thank you again for your code. Ivan.
P.S. For those you would like to run my sample lilypond file, you
need to download the rN.ly file from the above link,
edit out everything after ... %%% EXAMPLE %%% ...
and include this file in the same directory.
\include english.ly
\include rN.ly % Used as is, except delete everything after EXAMPLE
