No! It's probably a matter of how your teTeX installation
is setup.

 Hi,

Yes, I did a make install, and music-drawing-routines.ps appears not 
only in /usr/local/share/lilypond/tex but also in 
/usr/local/share/lilypond/ps. I ran texhash just to be on the safe side 
(which actually I never did with previous version installs, and never 
had problems) but still get the same error message.

As with other version installs, I placed lilypond-profile in my $PATH 
and sourced it to set the tree.

Could it possibly be my version of xdvi? It's 22.58.

Hello--

Having just downloaded and compiled the 1.6.6 sourcecode, I ran ly2dvi 
-P on an .ly sourcefile without error messages and got a surprise when I 
tried to view the results with xdvi. It loaded with this error message: 
"Cannot find PostScript file for inclusion in document: 
music-drawing-routines.ps"

The .ps file produced by the same ly2dvi run loaded perfectly with gv. 
The same thing happens with all my .ly sourcefiles. Is there a 
diagnostic I can run to track down the problem? This did not happen with 
1.6.5, and I was careful to run the font cleaning script after installation.

Thank you, my friends.

Carter

That's because it's not a text spanner - it's a text script. You could

produces
an approximately centered (p) for me:

\score {
 \context Staff {
   \notes \relative c' {
   \property Voice.TextScript \override #'extra-offset = #'(-0.7 . 0)

To create a text spanner see Expressive marks->Text spanners in the manual.

Re: common rests between two voices in one staff

2002-10-30 Thread Klaus Zimmermann
Hi,

first of all thanks for the quick answers!
However after reading the fine manual I found
a far simpler solution to the problem which might
be interesting to those who helped me(and others)
as well:

simply set the #'maximum-rest-count property of the staff.

e.g.(typical SATB piece without accompaniment) in the paper section:
\score {
...
  \paper
\translator {
  \StaffContext
  RestCollision \override #'maximum-rest-count = #1
}
  }
}


Bad enough with the next piece I ran into the next problem:
to anyone with experience with that maximum-rest-count thingie:
doesn't that affect multimeasure rests? how can I make it to?

Slurred chords

2002-10-30 Thread Guido Amoruso
Hi,

I'd like to know where it is possible to write the starting-slur mark
"(": inside a chord, next to any of its notes, or after the
closing-chord mark ">".

Moreover, perhaps I've found a bug if I write a slurred chord at the
very beggining of a piece.

From: 
-
\score {
 \notes {
  \clef violin \time 4/4
 b' ) g'
 }
}
-

I get this error:
-
Interpreting music...
/home/guido/Lilypond/prova_accordi.ly:4:10: warning: unterminated slur:
 b' ) g'

/home/guido/Lilypond/prova_accordi.ly:4:20: warning: can't find start of
slur:
 b' )
  g'
-
which doesn't come if I put a not before the chord.

On the other hand, I cannot write at all something like "( )c" in
any place in the piece, which I seem I was used to do with Lilypond 1.4.
But I'm not sure about this, perhaps I don't remember well.

I'm using Lilypond 1.6.0 for Debian3.0/ppc.

Thank you,

Guido

Hi Chris, just to keep you and the list informed that Lilypond compiled
successfully on my Mandrake 9.0 with a patched flex (thanks to Heikki
Junes). Everything is ok now, thanks for your kind help!

PS: the patch can be found on the lilypond-devel mailing-list archives,

Centering text spanners under a note

2002-10-30 Thread Maurizio Tomasi
I am typesetting an old edition of Mozart quartets, and sometimes
dynamics appear in parentheses.  I manage to write these with

---
\score {
  \context Staff {
\notes \relative c' {
  c1_#'(columns (large "(") (dynamic "p") (large ")"))

What could be the best possible solution?

Were you using a fink package too?  If so, a bug report should be
filed.  Fink should remove old fonts when upgrading.

pfa fonts should be in /sw/share/lilypond/1.6.5/fonts/type1  You can
try removing /sw/share/lilypond altogether, and reinstalling lilypond
through fink.
