[OT] Critique a Short Essay on Free Music?

2007-11-05 Thread Michael David Crawford
Yes, I realize that this has nothing to do with Lilypond - with the 
exception that the following essay explains *why* I have placed my 
scores under a copyleft license.  The scores to two of my songs are 
engraved with Lilypond, with the rest to follow soon.


I'm working on a new CD jewel case insert for my album Geometric 
Visions: The Rough Draft.  The case insert will be a single sheet of 
paper printed on both sides, and folded in half for a total of four 
printed pages each the size of a jewel case.  When the insert is removed 
from the case and unfolded, the essay will be on the inner, left-hand 
side.  (The right-hand page explains why it's The Rough Draft.)


The current draft just barely fits when set in 10-point Times.  I can't 
make it any longer; any additional text must come at the cost of 
removing some.


Following my draft, I'm also submitting a draft that was completely, 
independently written by a Kuro5hin member named mumble.  I must admit 
that his piece is quite a bit more compelling than my leaden prose.


Everyone who helps me will receive a free - and autographed! - copy of 
my compact disc.  Just email - OFF LIST! - your snail mail address to

Thanks for your help! - Mike

Behold:

   Why Free Music?

I don't charge money for my music, and have placed it under the 
Free-as-in-Freedom Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license so 
more people can get to know my music than would be possible if I sold 
it, or restricted copying.


I actually give a free compact disc to everyone I meet!

I hope that by doing so there will be lots of fans who will attend my 
performances when the time comes for me to play professionally. I have 
been studying piano intensively for several years with the aim of 
enrolling in music school to study musical composition. I want to write 
symphonies!


Furthermore, I feel that setting my music Free is The Right Thing To Do. 
I am inspired by Richard Stallman and his Free Software movement; my 
music is Free as in Free Speech, not as in free beer. It's a 
matter of liberty and not price.


The sharing of music over the Internet has been controversial for a 
decade now. The Recording Industry Association of America has threatened 
thousands with lawsuits for sharing music. But it's important to 
understand that, in America anyway, our Founding Fathers created 
copyright to benefit society, and not primarily to benefit the copyright 
holders.


The framers of the US Constitution intended to promote the progress of 
science and useful arts by granting creative people temporary 
monopolies. But I feel that of greater benefit to society than copyright 
is that computers and the Internet enable digital media formats to be 
copied completely faithfully anywhere on Earth, and with near-zero cost.


But how are we musicians to feed ourselves? I plan to do so by selling 
tickets to live performances, as well as T-shirts, posters and the like.


I love my music so, that I know I must set it Free.

*

K5's mumble submitted the following; it's obviously a lot more 
compelling than my version, but I'd like to work in some of the factual 
info from my version, such as Stallman being my inspiration,  for a sort 
of fusion of the two.


  The Internet Revolution and Free Music

The advent of the Internet and the Web sparked a revolution - the 
Information Revolution. No longer is information difficult and expensive 
to copy - virtually unlimited amounts of information can now be copied 
and distributed at near zero cost. This is the revolution inspired by 
Gutenberg's Press magnified a thousand fold!


In this new age, copyright seems quaint and redundant. There are 
stall-warts, many of them big and powerful! They are the ones that made 
their money the old way. But their time has come, and gone. It is our 
turn now. Music is culture, our culture, that should be shared freely by 
all, not locked behind high walls, leased out to only those that can pay 
the ransom.


But I am only one, and the most I can do is humbly share my music. 
Please listen to my music, and share it with everyone you wish.


Who knows, maybe one day I will become famous and write great 
symphonies. And you will already know my name.


- Michael Crawford.

Now, as to why my album is subtitled The Rough Draft.  The following 
will appear on the inner right-hand page of my insert.  I'm basically 
happy with this, but may try to tighten it up a bit:


 Howard by Baldwin

Your ears do not deceive you: my piano really is out of tune.

I recorded this album in 1994. The last time my piano was tuned was in 
the 1950's. My father, an accomplished musician, tuned it by ear.


I feared that tuning it after so long would change its voice – the 
characteristic sound that is different for every piano. The strings were 
very old and might break. They could be replaced, but the new strings

Hi Michael,

how is this text itself licensed? Would you mind if I translate it

Hi,

That's a complicated question.

Generally, I place works expressing my personal opinion under the CC 
Attribution-NoDerivs license, and that had been my plan for a web page 
that will include the essay as a subsection.


But the case insert on which I plan to print my essay is part of a 
larger compilation, that will be available via BitTorrent, that is 
otherwise CC-Attribution-ShareAlike. Besides the case insert, there is 
the label printed on the CD itself, the front of the case insert, the 
scores in PDF and Lilypond format, and of course audio recordings of my 
music.


Including a NoDerivs document in a DFSG-Free compilation (Debian Free 
Software Guidelines) renders an otherwise Free work as Non-Free. It 
would have the same problem as the GNU Free Documentation License, which 
provides for invariant sections which may not be altered, expressly for 
the purpose of expressing opinions!


However, as I am the copyright owner, I have the right to grant you a 
separate license of any kind.  And I would be *honored* if you 
translated my essay!


I just request that you wait until the final draft is *completely* 
finished.  I had hoped to complete it today, but the work of relicensing 
my music from by-sa 2.5 to by-sa 3.0 is taking a lot longer than I 
expected.  There is a lot of artwork to revise, license notices on 
several web pages, all my sheet music...


The essay is too important to me - and too important to those who might 
read it - for me not to do the best job on it I possibly can.  I'll wait 
to regenerate my torrents, if need be, to do right by my essay.


Thanks! -- Mike

Re: erratic key change marking

2007-11-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson
If you refer to the reminder of the new key signature at the end of the 
previous line,
that's a common typesetting convention (which is why LilyPond does it 
this way).
If you want to use some other typesetting convention, you can turn this 
off.

To find out how, go to www.lilypond.org - Documentation - LSR
and search for key signature.

 Sorry - my fault, I was thinking of the Program Usage, which to a large

 LP-book part) leaving bits and pieces which not necessarily belongs
 together with the notation reference thematically, but which on the other
 hand is so few pages, dealing with the fundamentals of how to run the
 program, that it seems logical to have it in one place. 

 I don't follow -- especially the to a large extent.

In the current version of lilypond-program.pdf, 12 out of 31 pages (not
counting the licence and the index) are about lilypond-book -- that's what
I meant with to a large extent. The rest is Installation and setup (8pp),
command-line usage etc (7 pp), and the conversion utilities (3p).  

 In the newly-renamed Application Usage, is there anything other than 
 chapter 4 which you believe should be in NR?  I really can't see anything 
 of the sort.

No, only ch. 4 belongs in a Notation Ref., strictly speaking (even this is
debatable, depending on HOW strictly one is speaking). I'm thinking more of
the NR as the document that one would want to save to the harddisk,
or even print out as a handy reference to cover all the things that
one would need to know in the day-to-day dealings with LP. Given the
character of LP, as a compiler of external text files, and not a gui or a
wysiwyg environment, text input and compilation will always go hand in
hand. This is the reason why I'd like to have ch. 3 in the same book (on my
imaginary shelf, together with the vim manual and the LaTeX companion).
This would leave the three pages about conversion, which don't necessarily
belong in the same book, but which doesn't do any harm either. 2.2. Text
editor support could well defend its place in a notational referece: how to
edit LP code, which leaves 1 Install, which is more README or man
page-like, and setup, which is mainly about mac problems... 

In other words: if it is a strong editorial decision that there should be
one document which contains only the details about notational syntax and
nothing else, then my suggestion of course falls flat. The document I'm
talking about is broader: Everything You Need To Know To Produce A Score
With Lilypond (Once It's Installed And Provided You Don't Need To Change
Too Many Scheme Lists).

is this still valid?

Not sure what this means

  introduce \with in LM?

This appears in ambitus (which would also be better
under Pitches, BTW).  Yes, \with in LM would be good.

 - Blank music sheet: add an example without tab

there's a template for this already.
 Actually, move this to a

 templates to LM.

Fine

New user, linux, Xp, jEdit, Lilypond tool, cutting and pasting

2007-11-05 Thread Frederick Dennis
Dear All,
I am a new Lilypond user. I have processed some single staff scores, and
found the transpose function
quite easy and useful. I had a problem with collisions between grobs and
notes but discovered how to use
the padding  to  move things, thanks to some advice. This was on OpenSuse
10.2 using a text editor, a file selector
and a terminal. Unfortunately, the machine was an old, slow one. Now I am
trying Lilypond in Windows XP, which will, hopefully, speed things up.
Browsing the letters, I came across a very helpful one which mentioned jEdit
and the Lilypond tool which can be installed as a plugin. First you have to
install  Java runtime environment 1.4 or later. Within the jEdit, once setup
with the plugin, you can run a wizard which will set up your score in great
detail, saving lots of coding and brain-ache. A very useful REM (comment)
says: Insert your notes here.
jEdit colours the various components of the coding, enabling easy analysis.
Also, errors are immediately underlined, enabling swift correction (in the
case of simple errors).
As regards documentation, there is plenty of it. Would it be an idea to
include quite a lot of simple, entire examples, as snippets still have to be
incorporated within one's code and the full examples contain many
complexities which are peculiar to themselves and not useful in other
contexts. I am thinking of say, two-part inventions, three-part inventions,
hymns, simple piano pieces e.g. Bergmüller, small symphony movements e.g.
Mozart's 1st, flute sonata movements (J.C. Bach for instance). It is then
possible for the novice to simply cut and paste, having compared the code
with the pdf. You could then process endless hymns, symphonies whatever. For
any particular feature, the novice could be referred to a short, simple but
complete code and have the pdf to see its effect. Cutting and pasting is
easier than trying to understand or remember complicated code. Yes, I know
that you can build up your own library, I'm thinking of the novice.

A problem I have encountered is the version number. When I process the
welcome file, I get 2.10.0 but when I ran some other code, I got 2.10.33
What is an external error? My jEditor says there are no errors, but Lilypond
will not process the code.

Cross-staff fingerings when using \autochange

2007-11-05 Thread Valentin Villenave
Hi everybody,

I'm typesetting a Brahms exercise for my pupils, using \autochange (it
would be quite annoying to have to do the staff changes manually).

But I do have a problem with the Fingerings. Not only do they *not*
follow the notes (particularly the left hand), but they also mess up
the beams. I tried to put the Fingering_engraver everywhere I could
(well, almost) but I can't find any solution. Removing the engraver
from its Voice context and putting it the PianoStaff context does give
something less ugly, but it only works for the right hand fingerings.

I've been trying to solve it for a dozen days now, so I'm just about
to give up and let my pupils put whatever fingers they want. But if
anyone happens to have an idea, it would be great.

Thank you everybody; here's the snippet:


\include italiano.ly
droiteDoigts = {
  s16-2 s-1 s-2 s-3 s-4 s-1 s-2 s-3 s-4 s-1 s-2 s-3
  s-4 s-5 s-4 s-3 s-2 s-1 s-4 s-3 s-2 s-1 s-4 s-3 s-2 s-1}
droiteB = \autochange \relative {
  \time 3/4
  \stemUp
re, do mi sol si do mi sol si do mi sol
si do la fa re do la fa re do la fa
reb do
}
gaucheDoigts = {
  s16-4 s-5 s-4 s-3 s-2 s-1 s-4 s-3 s-2 s-1 s-4 s-3
  s-2 s-1 s-2 s-3 s-4 s-1 s-2 s-3 s-4 s-1 s-2 s-3 s-4 s-5 }
gaucheB = { \clef bass
\autochange \relative {
  \time 3/4
  \stemDown
re,,16 do mi sol si do mi sol si do mi sol
si do la fa re do la fa re do la fa
reb do
}}
\score {
  \new PianoStaff {
  
  \context Staff=up \new Voice = droite { \droiteB }
  \context Staff=down \new Voice = gauche  { \gaucheB }
  \context Voice=droite {  \override Voice.Fingering #'direction = #up
  \droiteDoigts  }
\context Voice =gauche { \override Voice.Fingering #'direction = #down
  \gaucheDoigts   }
   }
}


Thanks

Valentin
