Re: Lyric tie glyph not found (directory separator problem?)
Hi Mats, 2008/10/2 Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Have you read the warning about the font you need, in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Entering-lyrics#Entering-lyrics Yes, I have seen it. I'm using the standard Century Schoolbook font from LP distribution and because it works on my other computers I guess it does have the glyph.

Re: Lyric tie glyph not found (directory separator problem?)
Quoting the manual: The lyric tie is implemented with the Unicode character U+203F, so be sure to have a font (Like DejaVuLGC) installed that includes this glyph. Note that Pango (the font handling library used in LilyPond) may pick different symbols from different fonts, so even if the rest of the text is typeset using the standard Century Schoolbook font, the lyric tie is typically taken from a separate font since it's not found in Century Schoolbook. You can easily check what font files are used on your machine where it works, if you process a file with and without lyric ties and compare the top lines of the resulting .ps file. I get: - Without a lyric tie: ... %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma %%EndComments ... - with a lyric tie: %%DocumentMedia: a4 595.28 841.89 80 () () %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font DejaVuSans %%EndComments /Mats Risto Vääräniemi wrote: Hi Mats, 2008/10/2 Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Have you read the warning about the font you need, in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Entering-lyrics#Entering-lyrics Yes, I have seen it.

Ah, thanks. When you first read the section (and I've read it several times) it doesn't clearly say that the Schoolbook does not have that glyph. It is sort of hinted in a round about way if you read the section a couple of times more with some serious thought. Or maybe I'm just a bit thick. :-) The file on my work computer says it had used these fonts: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font ArialUnicodeMS %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font Emmentaler-20 %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font feta-alphabet20 My home computer has the Arial font but it's not probably Unicode compatible.

Re: Lyric tie glyph not found (directory separator problem?)
2008/10/2 Risto Vääräniemi [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Is there a way to tell Pango, which font to use for this lyric tie? If I have both Arial Unicode and DejaVuLGC installed and would like to specify that DejaVuLGC was used. I don't know if this will help, but I've added a link to NR 1.8.3 Fonts in this paragraph. IMHO (though I'm not able to implement it), the lyrictie could be handled by a PostScript stencil rather than a glyph -- Or perhaps we could copy/paste the DejaVuLGC glyph in one of our fonts?

house chord style - global?
greetings!
i have implemented some changes to chord markup symbols, using the method shown
at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-big-page#Customizing-chord-names
--- i've got this in a house-style.ly, which i \include at the beginning of
each lilypond file:
% Exception music is chords with markups
chExceptionMusic = {
c e g b 1-\markup { \super maj7 }
c e g b d'1-\markup { \super maj9 }
c e g b d' f'1-\markup { \super maj11 }
c e gis bes1-\markup { \super 7alt }
c e g a d'1-\markup { \super 6(add9) }
}
% Convert music to list and prepend to existing exceptions.
chExceptions = #( append
( sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions chExceptionMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
i also wish to have chord symbols only notated when they change. normally, to
implement that and the chord symbol modifications, i must put this in any
\chords blocks which occur in any ly files:
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
\set chordChanges = ##t
that all works fine, but i'm wondering if there is some way of setting
chordNameExceptions and chordChanges globally, in the house-style.ly file,
instead of having to \set it in every \chords block of every score.
cheers!

Re: png cropping
Jonathan Kulp napsal(a): After much revision, addition, and general fussing about with it, I'm happy to post the official version of what we're calling lily2image, a script for converting lilypond source files to cropped image files in many different formats suitable for insertion into documents (theses, research papers, etc) or web pages.

Re: png cropping
If you are familiar with scripting, and have Windows, use it as a template. But my guess is you will need to find different utilities to do the conversion and cropping. This is pretty straight-forward to do, since most of these utilities run just fine on linux and mac (though most scripts check for the system that is running, and make adjustments as needed). The hard work I would say is done (great job Jonathan and Patrick!). There is no reason you couldn't use this script as a template and make something similar for Windows. I know Jonathan used this project as an impetus to learn how to script... rather then just complaining, perhaps you can do the same.

You can do this quite easily.
You need to remember that \chords is a shortcut for
\new ChordNames { \chordmode { }}
All you need to do is redefine the defaults for the ChordNames context.
The details for doing this are explained in the 2.11 documentation, section
5.1.4 Changing context default settings
Once you have this done, perhaps you could post the results to
the LilyPond Snippet Repository.
Thanks,
Carl Sorensen

Re: png cropping
I've actually tried to do this. I booted into the Windows partition of my machine and installed Cygwin and the netpbm package, but I had trouble finding the netpbm stuff from the Cygwin bash shell. The shell seemed very isolated from the rest of the machine, as I couldn't access any of the documents in my home directory and in general it behaved in much the same way that virtual machines do when I've tried running them. I couldn't even figure out how to run Lilypond from the Cygwin prompt, and the script pretty much relies on being able to do that :) There's probably a way to make it work, but I didn't see the point since everything already worked perfectly on the Unix-based systems, which are the only ones I use. It would take someone who really knows Windows to adapt lily2image to work on it. I would welcome it because I think it's an extremely useful tool and it's a shame that Windows users can't take advantage of it. Patrick, you mentioned at some point along the way that it would have been better if I had started the whole thing in Python instead of bash. Would this also have made it easier to port to Windows? I've ordered a Python book and will probably start messing around with it when it gets here.
