vertical spacing
Hello all, I, too was wondering how to get more systems on a page. I'm also using 1.6.4 on Cygwin and Lily seems to be putting too few systems on a page. >Have you looked here? >http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Global-layou t.html > >Look at "vertical spacing" and "page layout" in particular, although you might >find "font size" interesting too. I have looked at this section of the docs but I don't know where to place: \property Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4 . 4) (or whatever values I need).

Have you looked here? http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Global-layout.html Look at "vertical spacing" and "page layout" in particular, although you might find "font size" interesting too. > Also, the "Lily was here" message used to appear on the first page, but it > now appears on the second. "Lily was here" should appear on the final page. There used to be a bug wherein if you only had a small amount on the last page, it would print the tagline on the second-last page. That bug might have been fixed, but I think the real reason is that you now have more stuff on the second page. If you want something to appear on the first page (and your score is longer than one page), then use \header{copyright="blah blah"} Cheers, - Graham ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
page break
Hello all, After installing 1.6.4 for Cygwin, I am noticing some weird behavior. I am writing a score for string orchestra. Lilypond version 1.6.0-1 was able to fit 2 systems on a single letter-sized page. Version 1.6.4 can only fit one system on each page. Since there are only 4-5 staves per system, each page has a lot of space at the bottom. Also, the "Lily was here" message used to appear on the first page, but it now appears on the second. I have not modifed my source at all - the relevent paper section is as follows: \paper { papersize = "letter" \translator{ \HaraKiriStaffContext } } My command line is simple: ly2dvi -P test.ly Any ideas on how to return to the old behavior? Perhaps there is a way to increase the useable area of the page?

Re: tablature notation tautology
Before this becomes something other than the trivial pursuit that it is, let's lay it to rest once and for all. Tablature is notation. Every dictionary and encyclopaedia I can access, physical and online agrees. Music notation on staves with noteheads, in fact, can be considered a kind of tabliture, in fact. However, music notation is simply a system for indicating how to play music. Any system. Tablatures, successive fingering diagrams, staff-and-notehead-and-flag/stem, the lot. While tablatures are not _limited_ to plucked instruments, the statement is utterly accurate that David Raleigh Arnold wrote: > > "Tablature notation is used for notating music for plucked string instruments. It >notates pitches not by using note heads, but by indicating on which string and fret a note must be played." > Although the statement can be taken to be exclusive or absolute, it is not either. > Seemingly a minor matter, but troublesome, producing wrong thinking, and leading to >mistakes already. Tablature is not notation. The claim 'tablature is not notation' is the actual inaccurate statement, leading to wrong thinking. (Notation is not notation because it uses 'notes': notes are called notes because they were a form of notation that became common and wanted a name for the entities. Notes can also be jotted letters on a pad, informative marginal entries, or many other things: are these things all music?) Moreover, the real question is whether the definition proffered originally meets the description of the tablature that Lilypond is currently capable of making. It does. If we're going to get tautological about tablature in a manner that is effective where lilypond is concerned, it might be more useful to consider how we're going to be differentiating harmonica tablature from German organ tablature from wind instrument graphic fingering representations from line-and-number tabs like Lily does now. Unless the mechanism for notating (and perhaps the mechanism by which the objects are selected and placed?) is uniform, this is where differentiating and delineating will be of importance. raybro ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
xdvi windows problem

tablature notation tautology
"Tablature notation is used for notating music for plucked string instruments. It notates pitches not by using note heads, but by indicating on which string and fret a note must be played." Seemingly a minor matter, but troublesome, producing wrong thinking, and leading to mistakes already. Tablature is not notation. Better something like: "Tablature does not give pitches, but instead indicates how notes are to be played. In the case of plucked stringed instruments, it gives string and fret." There was such a thing as keyboard tablature, for one thing, when the keyboard was first invented. I'll have harmonica tablature pretty soon, or rather a helper for it. It can be done now, without great difficulty. Some wind instruments give fingering by a diagram of the holes. Producing the tab is simply a matter of putting little black and white circles in as fingering. If it's on a single line staff instead of a regular one, it's tab, otherwise, it's notation. Actually, all drum notation is tablature, strictly speaking, but there you don't have both tablature and notation to cause confusion, so "drum notation" makes sense. "Tablature notation" does not.

How did you install lilypond? apt-get should take care of this dependency automagically.
