I can see why this is by un-hiding the upper voice notes. But is there a way to bring that slur line down? In general: As you have already noticed \hideNotes actually makes the notes white, so they aren't visible but fully take part in the layout process. In cases similar to yours you would have to make the NoteHead transparent and set the stencil of any other relevant objects to ##f which means the corresponding object isn't printed at all. I wrote a shorthand for hiding a helper voice used for cross voice ties: hideVoiceForTie = { \once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t \once \override Stem #'stencil = ##f \once \override Dots #'stencil = ##f \once \override Beam #'stencil = ##f \once \override Flag #'stencil = ##f \once \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t } which can be used for that purpose. The last command suppresses the warning you can get. I also wonder if my approach is correct at all. Actually I don't think so. Does it make sense to treat those two bar-up sixteenth notes as a separate voice? That's correct, you need a temporary polyphonic construct. But you shouldn't duplicate the whole phrase, there is no reason for that (besides, that's what causes your other problem in the first place). Just write the phrase as one and only enter polyphonic mode for the triplet Also, I don't want to see the 3 both over and under the triplet. But look at what happens if I use the \override that appears in the comment. It removes the number 3 but also miscalculates the notes within the triplet. This is because you wrote the override _inside_ the \times { }. Place it before \times and it's alright. \version 2.16.0 \relative c'{ \clef treble \time 6/8 \key b \major ais'4 gis8 gis'4.~\\( | gis16 fis eis dis cisis dis\! e eis\) gisis,\( ais { \once \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f \times 2/3 { b16\accent[ s ais] } } \\ { \times 2/3 { { b16 eis, ais } } } gis4. fis4\) fis16 eis } Will give you what you need. Of course you still have to shape the phrasing slur quite strongly. Be sure to look up \shape for that.

LilyPond meeting in Waltrop, Germany, 2013-08-16 to 2013-08-20
Well, after several announcements, I now have about four participants for this year's meeting secured. While that's about the amount who bothered registering timely last year, it means that I am not able to plan suitably ahead. The consequences are that I can't really put forward an agenda, and I can't invite people who might be interesting to the LilyPond community, like Uwe Steger (see URL:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMBJowDdFq4 for an example of computer-based typesetting use with a likely interesting workflow) or an acquaintance who has dabbled with EU proposals, or the accordion ensemble I am playing in and so forth and so on. It's also not clear whether there is any sense in reserving an LCD projector like last year at the video store. Not all those opportunities are definitely over, so get a grip and announce your interest as soon as possible. With regard to celebrities, I do have a few registrations, like from Janek, wrangler of slurs and lyrics, or Jan, one of the primordial LilyPond developers and certainly _the_ authority regarding GUB. He'll be bringing samples of the Liedboek URL:http://www.liedboek.nl, probably the largest project so far tackled using LilyPond. Han-Wen, the other of the initial LilyPond team, will unfortunately have a concert on Sunday, so he'll be able to come Monday earliest which is just when Jan will have left. Talk about bad luck. Harm, the tireless wrangler of power-user solutions on LilyPond's user list (also known as Thomas Morley) is going to be there, so there will be quite a bit of opportunity of discussing changes and extensions in LilyPond that could reel more typesetting problems into the range of mere mortals. A few days ago, Jan Rosseel from the Scora project URL:http://www.scora.net which happens to use LilyPond as its typesetting engine announced his interest to join the meeting and would like to explain how LilyPond is used in Scora and what changes might simplify life for them. The project works towards the premiere of a symphonic concert in December (rehearsals starting in September) with a program including the 5th Symphony by Sibelius(!). To my chagrin, releasing 2.18 is still on the agenda, and depending on where we'll be with regard to it, we might have discussions about what we did right and wrong and what we might have to change. We might also try some team coding sessions to get the few remaining critical bugs under control so that we'll have a fixed perspective for getting 2.18 released and maybe at least start the stable branch. Other topics: Guilev2 (seriously) Markup redesign Page breaker MusicXML discussions Discussions about EU project feasibility (I tried getting something organized a few months ago, but it basically died from lack of immediate recognizable interest from commercial entities). Reports about the last meeting can be found at URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?The-LilyPond-Report-28. Information about travel and place (please don't get confused by last year's dates!) is still at URL:http://news.lilynet.net/?LilyPond-meeting-in-Waltrop, in a nutshell: Im Knäppen 63 in 45731 Waltrop, next useful bus station Waltrop Elmenhorst, next useful subway Brambauer Verkehrshof, next large train station Dortmund Hbf, next large airport Düsseldorf (there is some Ryanair airport called Düsseldorf Weeze which is actually quite far from Düsseldorf). Of course, the Spotted Flycatchers are nesting in different places, last year's foal Socke is by now a yearling, OpenStreetMap still has no clue about our address (but Google Maps does, and Bing Maps too, but the final yards of the approach have to be from the Southeast since the bridge to the Northwest has fallen prey to fire decades ago without telling Bing). The date this time around will be August 2013, Friday 16th to Tuesday 20th, with the possibility to arrive Thursday 15th late in the day for people who'd otherwise miss stuff early Friday. The proposed date coincides with the Dattelner Kanalfest URL:http://www.kanalfest.de/ which is the big competition (next town) of the Waltroper Parkfest we had running parallel to the conference last year. It still provides a reasonably close festival and entertainment for potentially not-just-LilyPond interested attendants or accompaniment, though with more focus on music and less on small arts like jugglers and stuff. But since it is next town, it will not suck dry external accommodation in Waltrop like the Parkfest did last year. So it should be easier for people preferring to stay at some hotel or similar to find something not too far away. Camping on the ground and sleep-ins are of course possible like last year and I expect most participants to make use of that. As mentioned above, most travellers will aim for Dortmund (through bus or train) though some international travellers will likely have Düsseldorf as their first destination in Germany. Hope to _really_ hear from you soon. All the best! -- David Kastrup

That works, but it's just too awful.

The barlines have been recreated. They are scaleable. There are now two options available with the same file: box notation, or repeat-barline notation. Boxes are the default. You can select barlines like so: \override Frame.repeat-barlines = ##t Both can be used in the same file, successively or simultaneously in different staves. Because it's so long, I've put the engraver in a file to be included.

RE: Anyone using a tablet for lily?
Richard: This may be what you want (and I use): Sahara Slate PC i500 ( Windows 7 Professional ) from Tablet Kiosk (www.TabletKiosk.com). I has a 6.5 x 10.5 screen. It can display full page PDF's generated by Lilypond using the software Music Reader (www.MusicReader.net). The software allows viewing one page, two page, or half page. The screen can be rotated (landscape or portrait). With the stylus comments can be written, and erased, from the PDF. The slate also has a disappearing keyboard. Since I use the slate at the piano I use a USB foot pedal to turn pages. This can be purchased from Music Reader. Pages can be turned using the stylus.

Re: Anyone using a tablet for lily?
Hi Richard, I have many friends (professional performing musicians) who use their iPad to play from; I believe they all use an AirTurn to trigger turns with a wireless pedal. Looking forward to hearing what you end up with, and how it works for you — I will be looking into a tablet very soon myself.

Re: Anyone using a tablet for lily?
I have been browsing the Internet for ePaper solutions, and have only reached potential products so far. The Brussels Philharmonic quit using paper less than a year ago. I'm still unsure what device to get for replacing my pile of music scores.

Re: conditional \when-property
Hi all, Found the correct solution (I think): #(define-markup-command (when-property layout props symbol markp) (symbol? markup?) (if (chain-assoc-get symbol props) (interpret-markup layout props markp) (ly:make-stencil '() empty-interval empty-interval))) At least that *seems* to do the right thing — if I've set myself up for disaster, I'd appreciate being corrected. =) Thanks, Kieren.

So I asked the question but instead of an answer you all got way off track. Is the answer (or so it seems) no No one has a tablet that they use Lily on or No has tried and doesn't really know.

Re: tablet
Jay, The simple answer is; No, LilyPond will not run on a tablet. There are, however, workarounds. One is the method Guy Stalnaker described using Textastic for editing and DropBox as a repository. The advantage to that method is that you don't need a connection the whole time. There was another DropBox method mentioned a while back. You set up DropBox on your regular home machine and sync your tablet to the same DropBox account. Then you get into your home machine via SSH and remotely edit files and run LilyPond. Once the PDF has compiled it will sync up on the tablet. This requires a net connection the whole time, of course. -David - Original Message - From: i...@soundand.com To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2013 1:38:05 AM Subject: RE: tablet So I asked the question but instead of an answer you all got way off track.
