music function playing well with context

Hello I am transcribing a piece that has a lot of tuplets: \tuplet 3/2 { a4 b8 } The duration of the notes is always this, just the pitch changes. I tried to create a music function with this code myT = #(define-music-function (pa pb) (ly:pitch? ly:pitch?) #{ \tuplet 3/2

RE: Installation of Lilypond 2.24.0 on a Windows 11 computer

Hi, As I already said, I'm not an expert in this so it's more a solution partially on trial and error. For information, I've never changed anything while installing any program, Frescobaldi or Lilypond on my almost new Windows 11 computer. V2.22.2 was obviously installed using the installer

RE: Installation of Lilypond 2.24.0 on a Windows 11 computer

Dear all, I tried the simple suggestion from Paul first. If you need to uncompress the delivered zip-files into Programs C:\Program Files you must, on Windows 11 at least, have administrator rights. I put the uncompressed files here because the new version of Lilypond is 64-bit versions

Yap, totally. I’m almost there in order to cut everything inside one page. It’s pretty amazing! We could imagine to print in score also some editing with Reaper and some other stuff!! Awww.. And do u have a solution for the duration line break if meet other notes? > On 7 Feb 2023, at 18:00,

What directory have you unpacked the LilyPond directory to?  I have put it into C:\Program Files (which is where Frescobaldi also gets installed) and I have no such problem. It may be that if you have LilyPond and Frescobaldi in different places, then something may not get the permissions it

Installation of Lilypond 2.24.0 on a Windows 11 computer

Hi, I’m a little annoyed over problems in getting Lilypond 2.24.0 properly running on my computer. My previous installation was Lilypond 2.22.2 together with Frescobaldi 3.2. Everything worked fine and the main reason for switching to 2.24 was new features making score-writing simpler.

Totally, now it begins the game. But at least I’ve a starting point! I’ve to understand better the tempo and rhythmic values in lilypond. I’ve already added the possibility to write cents for exemple for microtonality (a simple way). There’s 2 more things I could not figure out: - how

Hello Paolo, This is slightly OT, but there are other ways to alias things. \... is used in Lilypond either for evaluating a function, accessing some scheme object or evaluating some reserved parser keywords (such as \override). sustainOn is in fact a music object (not a function). Now, when
