It is absolutely possible to make the chord text font heavier! I should be able 
to publish the GoldenAge font family soon.

Re: GoldenAge Font

[MarcM]

i was thinking of using the JazzLilly font for some lead sheet i am typing
but now I want the Golden Age.
It is such a nice and balanced font. Is it possible to make the chord font
heavier?

It's quite literally translated, I wouldn't want to publish it like

Well, I think they are quite different, but guess you'll have to tell me :)

OK, seeing these in context it becomes clear that they are different.

Re: GoldenAge Font

[tisimst]

I agree about the chord symbols, but I can remedy that by thickening up the
text font. I've almost got a method for optical music font variants under
my belt, which I hope to apply to ALL the currently available music fonts.
Stay tuned!

[...]

You can also write the tempo markings in the same place as the music but
use \omit to make them invisible in the printed score.

OTOH, it would be nice if we could come up with a clever Scheme function
that automates ramping the tempo down/up; it's rather tedious to insert
all those \tempo markings by hand.

Thanks for this. I went through the example and tried my best to
incorporate it into my software and resultant Lilypond files but since
I wasn't really sure what it/I was doing I couldn't get the results I
wanted.

For now I'm just coloring the "spine notes" red. It's not perfect but
I think it gets the job done pretty well.

Thanks,

Re: How to increase the distance between systems?

Hello Kaj,

you'd want to search the notation reference for "Flexible vertical 
spacing between systems". It's the \paper variable system-system-spacing 
that needs to be adjusted.

Controlling systems spacing with \vspace

[Menu Jacques]

Hello Folks,

I’ve been struggling with this for some time, got help from this list, and 
finally came up with the following (probably partial) observation:
\vspace is taken into account only in \column* blocks, and needs to 
have some space (" ") before and/or after it.

Hence this kind of things in complex situations where a mark, a name and a 
tempo indications are needed at the same time, see the attached file:

  \tempo \markup{
\column {
  " " \vspace #2
  \line {
\raise #-2.0 {\box\bold\fontsize #3 "I"}
" "
\column {
  "\"Death Of A Soldier\""
  \concat {
"Adagio "
\concat {
  (
  \smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #"4" #1
  " = "
  76
  )
}
  }
}
  }
}
  }

Any hint to do better or simpler is welcome!

Re: How to increase the distance between systems? (new try)

[Noeck]

Hi Kaj,

what you need is a system-system-spacing not a staff-staff-spacing,
which is placed in a paper block as documented here:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables#list-of-flexible-vertical-spacing-paper-variables

 \paper {
system-system-spacing.basic-distance = #25
  }

For the staff-staff distance, I think you should set the
default-staff-staff-spacing instead (if you want to adjust that):
\override
Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #15

How to increase the distance between systems? (new try)

Sorry, the code example became totally distorted in the previous try, so 
here it is again:

---
I have tried to find in the manuals180 how to increase the distance 
between systems in the same score. I have found how to control the 
distance between individual staves inside the system, but not between 
systems. In my real task I want to fill the page. I see there is plenty 
of room below the last system, but I cannot find out how to get the 
score to expand. I also want to use the tagline at the bottom, but this 
should not have any impact.


Here is a simple example:

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  <<
\new StaffGroup
<<
  \new Staff
  { c'1 e'1 \break g'1 b'1 }
  \new Staff
  { d'1 f'1 \break a'1 c''1 }
>>
  >>

  \layout {
indent = #0
ragged-right = ##t
%\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing = 
#'((basic-distance . 15))

  }
}

Hi Lilyponders,

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate request for the group, but I was
wondering if anybody had the time to look at a sample part I have
typeset and make any comments regarding the typesetting. There may be
many things here that an experienced typesetter may see that need
improvement, but my eyes don't pick up.

Here is the link:

Hi Craig, there's one (minor) issue for readability that I notice. It's 
not your fault but LilyPond's but you may search for a way to improve it 
nevertheless.


When tuplet number happen to fall into a staff they are not clearly 
readable. Probably it doesn't matter too much because you don't actually 
_read_ them anyway but just notice that they are there.
Especially problematic is when they fall exactly in a staff space as in 
m. 134ff. where the extenders of the number coincide with the staff lines.


I'm not sure about the best treat, however. Some ideas:

- moving the numbers
- using whiteout
- selecting a heavier font face

I don't see a real treat for it, but you may take it as some input.

Jus tested with LibreOffice 4.3.3.2, LilyPond 2.19.16 and OooLilyPond
0.4.0 , works well with png output.

There are a couple of measures missing, and it should be one octave lower [1].

Re: Peer review

Hi Craig, 

I've noticed that you've changed the color of the staff lines from black to
grey. I think this is a good way to increase readability. 
However, in some lines of your score, the black bar lines are printed behind
the grey staff lines. I think this is because they are located in the same
layer, thus it's not predictable in what order they will be printed.
It could be helpful to put the staff lines in a layer below zero: 

\layout {
\context { 
  \Staff 
  \override StaffSymbol.layer = #-1 
}
  }

Cheers, 
Klaus

Beautiful. Some off-the-cuff remarks.

I agree with Jay Andersen about cautionary accidentals. I always use the 
modern-cautionary style -- it implies least confusion.


I do hope you intend to add cue notes to the final product!

I think the typesetting is the opposite of cramped; only 10..11 systems 
per page. I often have 13 or even 14 on an A4 page (2.19.15, the 
Lilypond version makes a difference), although with narrower margins. 
However, the first system of mvt II. is indeed cramped. You might 
consider widening the first system (e.g. by judiciously inserting a page 
break into (just) the part).


Is your part intended to start with an external blank page? Else, the 
page turns are at the wrong side of the page pairs...


Regarding page turns: for the player, it is *far* preferable to have 
easy page turns than to have few pages. I don't know about the publisher 
who must pay the printing costs...


At letter [P] in mvt III: a top c# for the piccolo: I don't remember 
ever having had to play that (and I hope it will be a long time before I 
meet it).


A matter of preference: if the movements are clearly separated by piece 
titles and ample vertical white space, I don't indent the first system 
of the movement.


In Mvt III., from [C]: I think the tuplet spanners are a bit tiring to 
the eye. How does it look without the spanner lines?
