Re: 2 conversion problems 2.4.6->2.6.3
Quoting Gilles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> from ml.lilypond.users: :For Linux: "gucharmap" Yes, but since lilypond does not understand the Unicode escape syntax (e.g. \u2014 for EM DASH) produced by gucharmap, this is rather useless.

Wrong eps file with lily 2.6.3
Hello, I have problems with generting an eps file (small music fragments). Usually, after generating the ps file using lilypond, I made the eps file from the ps using eps2epsi program and the eps file was correct. With the lilypond version 2.4.5 everything worked fine. But I have also installed the 2.6.3 version of lilypond. When I process the *.ly file with the newer lilypond, it creates a ps file, from which I can't generate a correct eps file. The bounding box is incorrect (the notes are beyond the box). Changing the box manually doesn't have any effect either. When I switch to lily 2.4.5, everything works fine again. Does anyone know why the 2.4.5 lilypond creates diifferent *.ps files from the 2.6.3 lilypond? Why I can't use the ps2epsi with lily 2.6.3? I've tried also ps2eps programm, it creates also wrong files (bad bounding box).

4-voice, 3-staff score with 2 lines of lyrics
Hi Lilypond people, I have been trying this stuff to render well since days, digging deeper and deeper into the docs, but without success. Attached is an extract to show my progress and to get help. The beginning is a 7-measure intro (played on piano), the last measure shown to the choir. The problem is: I can not get the "ABCDEFGH" lyrics line rendered, which is going to be the lyrics for both soprano and alt. (Tenor and bass has the same, "abcdefgh" lyrics, which is rendered right.) I enclosed those into a \book because there are going to be some unisono parts as well, which are a snap.

Re: Whats wrong with my midi file?
Why not include also a \layout{} block to see what LilyPond does when it expands the \repeat unfold commands? I hope you know that <<...>> means "play things in parallel". If you want things played in a sequence, you enclose the sequence in curly braces, {...}, instead. However, for some intricate reasons your example does actually give a sequence anyway. Also, do you have any specific reason to explicitly specify a DrumVoice only for the first section? Why not include all the piece in the same DrumVoice context, or simply remove the "\new DrumVoice{", since LilyPond will create one automatically anyway.. As has already been pointed out earlier, you should use \repeat unfold 6 if you want something repeated 6 times. /Mats Jannik Jeppesen wrote: Hi Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong in the following file?

RemoveEmpty``Tab``StaffContext and 'internal properties'
Hi everybody! I'm new to this list. First of all, I want show all my gratefulness for the existence of such a beautiful program like Lilypond. I'm becoming an enthusiastic user of it... also if my usage isn't so extended. I'm studying it from some weeks and trying to know better how it works. I'm using lilypond version 2.6.3.1 for Linux. Unfortunately I don't have any experience in Scheme (studied only a bit of LISP some years ago). Perhaps that would be useful to solve a problem which i'm fallen into. I know other people were, from the list archive. But I never found an answer to this, working for my case. Problem concerns applying known command "\RemoveEmptyStaffContext" also to TabStaves. The quoted command acts only on normal Staff objects, and not on TabStaff objects (someone suggested also DrumStaff, I don't know). Others suggested a solution like this (I tried to adapt to my current version, any mistake??): \context { \TabStaff \remove "Axis_group_engraver" \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver" \override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'() \override RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t } [ with version 2.6, I had to correct: - usage of "consistsend": doesn't work, I used "consists"; - not usable in "paper" section: I used in "layout" section; ] That doesn't work for my sheet cause it remove all TabStaff lines! At most, I can show only the first (empty) without "remove-first". Wandering around Lilypond documentation, I figured out that a good solution would be about hacking a bit something in order to correctly set an "internal property". 'Hara_kiri_engraver' create a layout object called 'RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup', that supports the interface 'hara-kiri-group-interface', that contains the internal property 'items-worth-living'. I think that the list defined in that property doesn't contain "TabNoteHeads", while perhaps it should. Finally, my question: there's a way to manipulate also "internal properties" from a .ly source? Or, at least, there's another working method to reach what I aim? Thanx for patience!! Greetings! And good work!! Go on so great!!

Re: Whats wrong with my midi file?
Hi Jannik! Now it is playing only the last one [with some other stuff as well) I really dont get it... Maybe it will discourage you a bit... for me on native Windows v2.7.12 your file produces exactly what you desire... except for... first play drumvoice 1 6 times then nr 2 6 times then 3, 4 and 5. If you want no. 1 to be played six times you will have to write 'repeat unfold 6'.

[OT] was: Re: lilypond fonts and inkscape
btw: this program (inkscape) looks excitingly promising as an alternative to illustrator, but unfortunately opening .ps files appears to still only be a working function on linux and not yet on osx! does anyone know of a similar open source svg oriented program with which a person can, for example, make manual tweaks to postscript files? best, sean Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany Web: www.seanreed.de On 08.11.2005, at 02:37, Pedro Kröger wrote: Han-Wen Nienhuys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: You should be able to figure it out yourself, by looking at the PDF original, or opening the XML view for the box in inkscape. thanks for the clue.

Re: piano staff dynamics and template found in docs.
The first one is for the printed output only and the second one is for MIDI output only (the former has a \layout{...} block and the latter a \midi{...} block). The only reason I can see is that you want the dynamic indications to apply to both left and right hand in the MIDI output, so that's why \dynamics is included in these staves for MIDI. /Mats Sterling Sympatico wrote: Hi, I am using 2.6.3 now and am looking over the template for putting dynamics in piano staff. I am a little confused about some of the blocks of info needed to do this. I understand: \upper = \lower = \dynamics = \score { \context PianoStaff << \context Staff=upper \upper \context Dynamis=dynamics \dynamics \context Staff=lower \lower >> \layout { } but then there is another \score block that doesn't make sense to me. I guess I need some clarification as to what this second \score block is for. Thanks for any simple explanation so I can get my head around the format of this coding.

The music I'm working with has an extra eighth (possibly the rest) in a couple of measures. I thought I had gotten them all. Would it be worthwhile to have a "debugging your ly files" FAQ? It would be nice to have documented that measure bars will disappear when you've counted wrong. Thanks for the quick response! -Original Message- Why not ask LilyPond itself to assist you in finding the problem. Just insert a | where you expect to have a bar line (it will also help you read your own input when working with the score), then LilyPond will print a warning every time it finds bar that does not end where you put the |. However, here it shouldn't be hard to find the problem anyway, since the b4 in bar 71 begins an 8th before the bar line. /Mats Kress, Stephen wrote: > > All, > > I have been happily using lilypond for a while now but have run into a > real mystery.

score layout
Hi, I am typing a score for a work for voice and strings and I have a problem with the score layout. I am using Lilypond version 2.7.12 for Windows (98). Here is the file: \version "2.7.12" \relative { \new ChoirStaff << \new GrandStaff << \new Staff << { \set Staff.instrument = "Violins 1" c1 } >> \new Staff << { \set Staff.instrument = "Violins 2" c } >> >> \new Staff << { \set Staff.instrument = "Viola" \clef alto c } >> \new Staff << { \set Staff.instrument = "Voice" c } >> \new Staff << { \set Staff.instrument = "Bass" \clef bass c, } >> >> } As you can see, the score layout used is the old-styled layout, where the voice staff lies between the viola and the bass. This layout is perfect except for one thing; How do I connect the vertical barlines between the viola staff and the violin staff above? The barline break between the viola and voice staff, as well as between the voice and bass staff, is intended though. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, Seng Liang. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
