Dear Friends, I have so far only done 5 or 6 pieces in Lilypond notation. I am very fond of the results. In my new project there is a challenge:
Ped-marks come too far below the lower staff, if I use a separate dynamic-Staff. I missed templates for piano-quartet/trio. I used the "Song" or "lied" template after realizing that the beautiful "Mutopia-project" piano-trio by Mozart in E-flat was written with a Lilypond notation which goes longer back than the first of my Lilypond-versions! Ugh! I use 2.5.0 (or 2.4.0) and it works nicely. My new template and 2.4 can do "Ped" marks without separate middle/lower dynamic staff, just doing \sustainDown works. However, the smart PianoTemplate solution allows markings to be placed precisely where you want them using space-rests s2 s16. The technique is to have an extra (virtual) Staff<<>> for Dynamics, like this: [...] >> \context Dynamics = "PedMarks" << \lowerDynamics >> %% \new has been replaced by \context in 2.4.x So I added the necessary tweaks cut-and-paste from an older "piano-template", and it works BUT: The ped-marks come too far below the lower staff. The "black magic" tweaks are given here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/lily-927257492.ly http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.4/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Piano-templates.html#Piano-templates I updated them using convert-ly, not much was changed though. ====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====- The warning I get is not the real problem: Full example http://d-axel.dk/pub/music/start/bk4-pedwarn.*: Now processing `bk4-pedwarn.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music... warning: Cannot find or create `Dynamics' called `pedal' [8][16][24][32][40][41] [...] ====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====-====- But this is not the real challenge; the problem is that the distance between the lower staff and the dynamic mark has grown out of proportion. You can find the full pdf-file and sources here: http://d-axel.dk/pub/music/start/bk4-pedwarn.pdf POSTSCRIPTUM: I will try to study more intensively on "Gray Nereides" and examples from Mutopiaproject. One of the most fascinating is the Chopin etude op.25-1. This is brilliant work, and I feel stupid when I read the source. How did he find out? Well, I better read the docs thoroughly, I have skipped too many parts. However, are there any hints for a reader, then I will be glad. I am impressed how much Mats Bengtsson helps all of us people here on the list. Thank you for any hint, and regards from Donald -- dax2-tele2adsl:dk -- http://d-axel.dk/ Donald Axel
