Hello ;; --
I am new user of lilypond. I am a composer, a young composer, and I hope that I will be able to write my music with lilypond. But modern music is quite demanding and so much more difficult to typeset then ancient music. Is there any other composers of classical contemporary music on this list? I hope that lilypond developpers are also willing to make it a modern typesetter alternative to commercial software (which are not good enough anyway). It would be so nice! So, please and in advance, pardon my requests: it will not be to point out things that lilypond can not do, but just things I need to be able to do, hoping that these requests will help others (or that people on the list can help me of course). As a lilypond beginner, I obviously probably will ask stupid question(s) to ... ;; -- ly2dvi (GNU LilyPond) 1.5.13 So, here is a couple of little problems I encountered, very small example to start with 1. the following compiles ok \score { \notes < \context Staff = Cl { \property Staff.instrument = "Cl Sib" \time 8/4 \clef violin {r2. r2.} } \context Staff = staffB { \time 8/4 \clef bass \relative a, {a2. <a2. b2. c2. a2is> <a2. b2. c2. a2is>} } > \paper {} } but does not produce the expected display results: even the "r2." and the "a2." does not produce the result expected, (the dot is in the note, and not after the note) or is it my xdvi? (it seems i have xdvik, should i get another xdvi? ;; -- 2. the following does not compiles \score { \notes < \context Staff = Cl { \property Staff.instrument = "Cl Sib" \time 8/4 \clef violin {r2. r2.} } \context Staff = staffB { \time 8/4 \clef bass \relative a, {a2. <a2. b2. c2. a2is.> <a2. b2. c2. a2is.>} % a2is. instead of a2is } > \paper {} } clusters in general are not 'displayed' properly, note spacing problems. a strange thing is that if I do not have {a2. <a2. b2. c2. a2is.> ...} but {<a2. b2. c2. a2is.> ...} then the cluster is really badly 'computed' is there a special feature for clusters? ;; -- 3. i wanted to call staff using numbers to, but is seems not possible: \score { \notes < \context Staff = Cl1 { ... \context Staff = Cl2 { ... does not compile: is it the expected behavior? can't we use numbers in staff names ;; -- 4. i would like to define a piano always with 3 staff, with clef as is: \violin \bass \bass -15 how can i define a clef "twice octava bassa" ? (the \bass clef with the number 15 sligthly below and right) ;; -- thanks a lot for help and understanding david _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
