Re: Varying shape note heads varying by semitone
I have to admit that I'm stuck here. I see some documentation for gros here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/grob_002dinterface#grob_002dinterface but I don't know where to start. Do you have a suggested URL? Han-Wen Nienhuys [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: It would be the coolest if (all) these extensions could happen in grob-property space. This could be done by automatically overriding and reverting grob properties when middleCPosition or tonic context properties change. 2007/4/21, Kevin Dalley [EMAIL PROTECTED]: As another step toward in my path toward varying notation in LilyPond, I am varying note shapes by semitone. Usually, there are fewer than 12 note heads, but the semitone of the note determine the shape. My current implementation uses a function shapeLayoutFunction which returns an integer, which is an index into the vector shapeNoteStyles. This seems to work. The function description is: Function returning an integer which indexes into shapeNoteStyles vector. It takes an argument of pitch and tonic. Altnernatively, I could define a function which return a note head shape. Does anyone see a good reason to prefer one to the other. The first option has an advantage of using a small function like this: #(define (shapeSemitone pitch tonic) (modulo (ly:pitch-semitones pitch) 12)) plus an already standard vector. The second option has an advantage of everything being included in one variable, but the disadvantage of requiring slightly more complicated functions.

Re: lyric vertical spacing
I went looking in the mail archive to see if I could find an answer to my question as I had not heard from anybody, only to discover that Mats had responded. For some reason it did not find its way to my in-box. Which LilyPond version? The vertical spacing handling has changed significantly in the latest development version 2.11, compared to earlier versions. I'm currently running v2.10.23. You should be able to find several examples in the mailing list archives. The basic ideas are described in the section on Vertical spacing inside a system. I went there per your suggestion and tried tweaking the minimum-y-extent but I was unable to make it any better. I eventually tried #'extra-offset on the lyrics. This solved half of the problem. I was able to move them close enough to the staff for my purposes but, of course, it did *not* change the spacing of the systems above and below the lyrics. -David /Mats David Bobroff wrote: I want to move some lyrics much closer to the staff.

Hi, David:

Worst case, you can move each and every staff manually.
Define
staffAdjust =
#(define-music-function (parser location adj) (pair?)
#{
\overrideProperty #Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
#'line-break-system-details $adj
#})
and then, in your music, use
\staffAdjust #'((alignment-offsets . (0 -8.5 -15 -25.5 -30.5 -37
-45.5 -52 -64)))
This is just an example from my own choral composition -- the nine
staves to which the numbers correspond are
soprano
soprano lyrics
alto
alto lyrics
tenor
tenor lyrics
bass

piano reduction (two staves together in a PianoStaff)
Hope this helps!

I wrote therefore this simple file:

which returns an error message;
Files like
\ relative c' {

works
I tried various syntaxes, adding or deleting blanks, carriage return
witj various error message returned.
I looked over examples end archives without finding any related topic.
I suspect this difficulty to be trivial...

invisible ledger lines
I need to make some ledger lines transparent. I'm using an invisible note from which to hang a lyric syllable. The part itself (not the cues) will need to be available in different clefs. This will result in ledger lines appearing in one clef or the other. I haven't yet found the right phrasing to sweet-talk Lily into doing this for me.

cautionary accidental causes shift of lower accidental
Hello, all!
Attached is a snippet from a piano piece I'm engraving.
As you will see, the addition of a cautionary accidental in the upper
part of the chord causes the lower (regular) accidental to shift
unnecessarily.
I've included this on -list, to document the (i.e., my current)
workaround.
Thanks!
Kieren.
p.s. You will also note the insufficient padding preceding the
accidentals at the beginning of the second measure, but that's a
different (ongoing) story... ;-)

Should work. (I didn't test it, though)
Thank you!
My problem was: I didn't expect that I'd need \context two times:

\context {

O.K., I pared it down to a minimum (AFAIK). I eliminated the middle
voice.
\version 2.11.23
\include english.ly
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
{ e''4. e''4 e''8 fs'' g''}\\{ e2 ~ e8 r4.}
inline: Picture 1.png
The resulting error is as given above in the initial post.
My concern is with the vertical spacing between systems, which
changed when going from Lilypond 2.10.20 to 2.11.23. The piece I have
set prints on two pages; v 2.10.20 distributed the systems evenly
between the two pages; v2.11.23 reduces the number of systems on the
first page by one and crowds them on the second page.
I am clueless as to how to respond to the error, and a search of the
manual for minimize and other variations of the error message did
not provide enlightenment.
Thanks!
