How do I add new noteheads to lilypond?
Hello- I've been working on and off over the last couple years at getting Lilypond to typeset twinline notation (among others) for the music notation project. Kevin Dalley's abandoned patches thankfully did most of the heavy lifting, but the noteheads he used were never posted. I believe I now know enough Metafont to have a fighting chance of add the noteheads we need. What steps do I need to take to add and enable new noteheads in lilypond? 1. Edit feta-bolletjes.mf (now something like feta-noteheads.mf) 2. Manually trigger the fonts to be rebuilt (how?) 3. Install the fonts (where?) 4. Anything else? My branch is based on 2.11.45 with Kevin Dalley's patches. It's up on github: The lily file that defines a handful of chromatic notations: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/input/musicnotation/chromatic.ly The most interesting line being: (cons "twinline" (vector '(2 4) '(0) 0 1 6 twinline-layout #(default do default downdo default do default downdo default do default downdo))) ... it is the downdo noteheads that are missing. The metafont file that defines noteheads: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/mf/feta-bolletjes.mf A sample code snippet that would hopefully display a scale in twinline notation: http://github.com/drewm1980/lilypond-an/blob/mark_hanlon/input/musicnotation/fontcheck/fontcheck.ly To get started I tried duplicating and renaming one of the existing noteheads to "downdo", but it wasn't visible after a rebuild after liliypond.

Re: CVS ERROR: Unable to find file "lily.scm"
Thanks a lot Mats, My global make install was somehow failing partially and silently. Running a make install inside the lilypond/scm directory cleared up that problem. Sorry I was unable to find any of the helpful replies; for some reason I could only find the initial posts despite a good 20 min of digging.

The file lily.scm together with a large number of other .scm files should be installed in .../share/lilypond/current/scm/ where LilyPond should find them automatically without any need for manual settings of environment variables. /Mats Andrew Wagner wrote: Hello- I'm experiencing the same problem Tapio did: compiled /ChangeLog/1.4659 from CVS seems to compile OK, but when trying to run 'lilypond' it spits out the following: "GNU LilyPond 2.7.35 ERROR: In procedure primitive-load-path: ERROR: Unable to find file "lily.scm" in load path" what should I do to fix this? greetings, Tapio I found a lily.scm file is sitting in my build directory: /Users/awagner/Developer/lilypond/lilypond/scm Anyone know where I should copy these files to, or how to hint something to their current location?

Build hanging on an error.
Hello- I'm trying to build on os x 10.4.11, and ran into the same problem this fellow did on BSD: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg10088.html Nikita <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > I try to build lilypond on freebsd 6.2 amd64 machine.

Can you double check that you are not using two versions of flex, eg one in /usr and one in /usr/local? If not, please send your config.h, config.log and lexer.cc. FWIW, I have added freebsd-64 to GUB and had no such problem building lilypond. Can you please verify if this installer works for you http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/freebsd-64/ lilypond-2.11.28-1.freebsd-64.sh Greetings, Jan. It turned out that the compiler was seeing the right flex binary, but the wrong header. For some reason tweaking my path variable didn't help and I had to clobber the old version in order for my new version (in /opt/local/include/) to be seen: mv /usr/include/ sudo mv FlexLexer.h FlexLexer.h_bak sudo ln -s /opt/local/include/FlexLexer.h FlexLexer.h Hopefully this'll turn up in google searches along with the original call for help.

Introduction
Hello- Not sure if this list is small enough to warrant it, but I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Drew Wagner, and I'm trying to build lilypond with the patches for alternative notations (i.e. twinline) on a mac. Another one of my hobbies is building a digital piano with a Janko Layout. I very recently started diykeyboard.org, a diy digital piano project. Cheers, Drew ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
