Re: test.ly failed
It looks as if the installation program failed to install all necessary packages. Usually it helps to just rerun setup.exe. Especially, you should make sure that the package called libguile12 is being installed (it should be selected automatically). Also, I'm surprised that you have version 2.4.2 of Lilypond, the default version for the moment is 2.4.3-1 (should also appear automatically if you rerun setup.exe). /Mats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have attached error log file.

chords in piano staff
Hi! I'm trying to have a piano staff with the chords written between the two staves. I've tried many combination but with no result: in a piano staff or a grand staff the chords appear below the lower staff. The only way has been to create a staff group, but in this case I lost the brace at the beginning of the system. Or maybe is it possible to move the position of the chords? Any suggestion?

Re: chords in piano staff
By default, a PianoStaff context cannot contain a ChordNames context, but
that's easy to modify. Just add (untested)
\layout{
\context{
\PianoStaff
\accepts ChordNames
}
}

Re: chords in piano staff
Hi Mats,
thank you, your solution works, even if now I have a very large distance
between the two staves.
How can I come back to the original distance of the piano staff?

Dynamics too far below, Piano+song based Template
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 \context Dynamics = PedMarks \lowerDynamics %% \new has been replaced by \context in 2.4.x So I added the necessary tweaks cut-and-paste from an older piano-template, and it works BUT: The ped-marks come too far below the lower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 attachment: bk4-pedwarn-p1x.png___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Help with line breaks
Hello everyboby.
I'm starting using lilypond. The example here in my e-mail has three
different scores. The only thing that I want is to be able to print each
score in a different page. How can I perform the break between then?
Thank you very much,
Helder

Thanks again - searching the list dynamics gave me the
clue needed:
Mats wrote on (Date: Thu, 07 Apr 2005 15:22:49 +0200):
I don't like the current solution in the template using lots of
extra-offset settings.
[...]
\score {
\context PianoStaff
\context Staff = upper \upper
\context Dynamics = dynamics \dynamics
\context Staff = lower
\clef bass
\lower \pedal
which means that I can have two parts on the same staff; the notes
***and*** the dynamics/pedmarks with space-rest-placement.
Thank you Mats and every other optimistic Lilyponder!

transpose
I have a number of pieces written in fakebook style that I want to
transpose to other keys.
I know the command
\transpose c g should move things up a 5th (or maybe down a 4th).
I read the manual page on transpose, but I cannot figure out from that
where to insist the command.
Everything I've tried has ended in numerous errors.
The models in the manual just don't show me how to do it.
And how do you transpose the chords?
For concreteness, the whole file is below.
I want it in C Major, instead of G Major -- up a fifth.
I'm sure if I see
how to do it once, I can do it ad infinitum.
Thanks,
Robert

invoking Lilypond from a script
Thanks for making such a great product. I love using Lilypond. I am currently working on an applescript app for Mac OS X that will allow a .ly file to be dragged to a Lilypond icon to create the PDF score without using the command line. My hopes is that it will help make Lilypond more accesible to traditional Mac users. However, when I call Lilypond (v. 2.2.5) from the appescript (i.e. do shell script /sw/bin/lilypond [filename.ly]), it outputs the score to / instead of the directory the source file is in. I'm wondering if there is a reason why it would not automatically export to the originating folder, as it does when I invoke it in the terminal. Perhaps the Applescript calling the shell script is the problem? Let me know if you know of a reason this may be behaving unexpectedly, or if you need more information from me. Otherwise, I will add some extra code and variables to get around the issue. Thanks. Sincerely, Kris Shaffer ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

If you are in a console, and you cd to e.g. /tmp/foo, and write lilypond /bar/blah/x.ly then the output will be located in /tmp/foo/. This is simply the convention most Unix-style software use. You could either run lilypond with a different working directory, or you could specify the output by passing -o to lilypond. You may be interested in looking at the commands dirname and basename.

Re: transpose
Hi.
For concreteness, the whole file is below.
I want it in C Major, instead of G Major -- up a fifth.
This is how I do it:
%-
\version 2.4.2
melodyNotes = \relative c''' {
\time 3/4
g4 d c |
a4 b c |
}
melodyStaff = \context Staff = Melody {
\clef G
\key c \major
\transpose g c { \melodyNotes }
}
\score {
\melodyStaff
}
%-
[For the chords, I didn't try yet, so I don't know.]
Best,
