Fingerings with Flat Symbol
Hello I'm transcribing jazz solos and am searching for an efficient means of notating scale-tone numbers above notes, incorporating sharps and flats, e.g. 1 3 sharp5 flat7. I realize I'm able to use text markup commands for this. However, the use of fingerings would be much faster and require less typing. So, the question is: how do I append flat and sharp symbols to fingering numbers? Thanks, Jonathan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Chord Names Tweak
Hello all, Does anyone have suggestions for tweaking the position of accidental in chord names. For example, the flat sign in in the chord name Ab? I find in the default Lilypond setting the flat symbol is too big and too low on the base line. Thanks, Jonathan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Volume Control of Accent Articulation
I'm writing a percussion part and would like to set volume levels for accent markings (<). I'm able to do this using dynamics markings (ff, pp, etc.) but have not found a way to do this with accent markings. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Midi2ly Error
I'm encountering problems with midi2ly. I receive the error below when running midi2ly on midi files exported from Reaper, a DAW. I receive no error when converting midi files created by Lilypond or Anvil Studio, a midi only program. Any insight or suggestions for exporting midi would be greatly appreciated. C:\Documents and Settings\jt\Desktop>midi2ly Test8.mid Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 991, in ? main() File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 989, in main convert_midi (f, o) File "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\midi2ly.py", line 823, in convert_midi for (dur, num, den) in global_options.allowed_tuplets: SystemError: /main/src/gub/target/mingw/src/python-2.4.5/Objects/listobject.c:255: bad argument to internal function Lilypond version 2.2.13-1 (Windows XP) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Unicode Fingereings
Greetings All, I am beginning to write music for my harmonica practice and would like to use two Unicode characters in my fingerings: ↑ (Unicode: 2191/UTF8: E2 86 91) and ↓ (Unicode: 2193/UTF8: E2 86 93) I'm a little stumped as Unicode characters work as lyrics..

Jazz Chords
I've been searching for a way to customize chord superscript. I found the example for chord-name-major7.ly but would like to customize minor 7th chords too. Also, I have not found a way to print 13th chords (C7/b9/13) without 'add' (C7/9/add13).-Jonathan

Re: Book creation
RevRev. Gilbert,I found a link that may be of some use to you. It is a sight-singing book created with Lilypond and LaTex.http://www.lightandmatter.com/sight/sight.html-Jonathan TownesFrom: Gordon Gilbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: September 5, 2005 6:36:26 PM EDTTo: lilypond-user@gnu.orgSubject: Book creationHi all!I have composed a Missa Brevis (short Mass) setting with several distinct pieces. In the past I have simply printed each piece out on separate pages. However, I would like to put them all together in a book, with title page, contents (with one-bar snippets if that's not too difficult), a page of comments, etc. Can someone point me to where in the documentation (or elsewhere) I can find *all* the necessary information on doing that? I have looked in the docs, and found some of it, but I think I am missing something. I use 2.5.29, and run it on FreeBSD 5.3 with a reasonable amount of horsepower and ram.Thanks in advance,Blessings,Fr. Gordon Gilbert+ +=+ | Angels' Roost Farm | | Rev. Fr.

\triangle in markup
Greetings,
I have been using \triangle within markup, e.g. c4^\markup
{ \triangle } .
Until upgrading to Lilypond 2.6.5 from 2.6.3 I had no problems. I am,
however, able to use \flat and \sharp in Lilypond 2.6.5.
As an experiment, I reinstalled 2.6.3 and am still receiving the
following error:
Processing `Untitled.ly'
Parsing...
Untitled.ly:5:31: error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting
SCM_T or SCM_IDENTIFIER
c4^\markup { \triangle
} d e f
error: errors found, ignoring music expression
error: failed files: "Untitled.ly"
I am also attaching an excerpt of my previous \triangle success.
Lilypond 2.6.5
Lilypad 2-1
Mac OS 10.4.3
Thanks,
Jonathan Townes
