RE: Writing psalms
I transcribe a lot of chant music and discovered that using the \breve and
putting the lyrics in quotes looks awful with more than a couple of words.
The justification never looked right, and the word spacing was always odd.
Instead I have found that the following works better.
Use \H for hidden notes so the spacing remains consistent across the entire
measure.
Use \NL when a measure must be broken in the middle.
Use \NM for normal measure breaks.
I deleted stuff that isn't important for the example:
\paper {

Global = {

H = { \hideNotes c'4 \unHideNotes }

Lyrics without visible notes
Putting a skip in the lyrics prints a note without lyrics under it. But
putting a skip in the music does not print the lyrics without a note over
it; instead, the words are just shifted to the next note.
It is useful to able to use note skips to fix spacing issues around bar
lines, but I believe it would be much more intuitive to have the behavior of
skips completely reciprocal between music and lyrics. If you want both blank
music and lyrics for spacing, it would make more sense to enter a skip in
BOTH.
There is another way to enter hidden notes, but the directions are in the
documentation under Educational Use, and if you have to do this over and
over it gets tedious, especially since you have to enter the pitch:
f4 \hideNotes f4 f4 f4 f4 \unHideNotes f4
Up to now I have been using a breve to represent repeated pitch for chant
music (see snippet below), but I'm finding that sometimes this makes the
music too cluttered and confusing for the choir because of spacing issues
around the lyrics in quotation marks, especially if ragged-right = ##f. I
would rather print the words without anything over them until the pitch
changes and use hidden notes to fix the spacing.

RE: Lyrics without visible notes
I came up with the following kludge that works for the Soprano/Alto staff:
% Hidden Note
H = { \hideNotes c'4 \unHideNotes }
then in the score, I enter as many hidden notes as necessary for the number
of syllables until the next pitch change
f'4 \H \H \H \H \H \H \H \H \H \H \H \H f'4 g'4 a'2 g'4 f'4 e'2
The only catch is the note is not truly hidden because the spacing below the
staff takes the c' into account even if there are no visible notes below the
staff. So, a different definition may be required for the Tenor/Bass staff
if you don't want the spacing for a middle c above it.
I still believe a solution using skip notes would be preferable.
Another option, if someone out there understands scheme function
definitions, is to come up with a function like
f'4 \repeatHidden { c' 12 } f'4 g'4 a'2 g'4 f'4 e'2
which would allow you to easily specify the true pitch for the repeated note
and the number of times to repeat the hidden note.

RE: Whatis on the fly
Francois, you're close. In hunting terminology, on the fly means catching/killing a bird in the air vs. catching/killing a bird on the ground. In fishing terminology, catching a fish on the fly means using a fly bait which requires continuous activity and rhythm with the rod and reel. In this context, the English idiom has taken on the meaning of being quick, agile, or lucky. In aeronautical terminology, on the fly means making repairs or modifications while flying the airplane vs. waiting to make repairs or modifications after landing. The idiom has been applied to other engineering situations to mean making repairs or modifications to equipment while the system is running vs. shutting down the system to remove and replace the equipment for depot maintenance. In this context, the English idiom has taken on the meaning of being flexible, adaptive, or ingenius. Therefore, from the second context above, in computer terminology, on the fly has taken the meaning of dynamically changing software activities or values while the program is running vs. statically predefining activities and values so they can't be changed without stopping the program. An example is using a cookie file to modify the behavior of a web page on the fly based on the user's input. So, I don't think that the LilyPond *program* does anything on the fly, since you can't change the *.ly file while the compiler is running. But I guess it's possible for a developer of one LilyPond engraver to say his engraver (e.g., beams) makes changes on the fly based on the output of other engravers (e.g., notes). That being said, English idioms are continuously evolving and taking new meanings. So, it's possible that some programmers have adopted the practice of using on the fly to mean the ability to change a program setting several times within a file as needed. But this doesn't make sense to me.

Yes. The default templates that come with OOoLilyPond automatically insert

Use the following as an outline to create your own template and make it your

OooLilyPond seems to be EXACTLY what I was looking for to write a book on
jazz improvisation.
I use Window XP and I can get it to insert simple scores in OpenOffice.org
such as:
\key c \minor \relative c'' { c16 es, d es c es d es c' es, d es c es d es }
which is the test given in the sourceforge webpage.
However, other scores that are created in LilyPond without problems, such as
this one given in the LilyPond tutorial:
\version 2.10.10
melody = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
a b c d
}
text = \lyricmode {
Aaa Bee Cee Dee
}
harmonies = \chordmode {
a2 c2
}
\score {
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\harmonies
}
\new Voice = one {
\autoBeamOff
\melody
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto one \text
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
get quite a lot of syntax errors and unknown escaped strings and
unexpected strings.
Does OooLilyPond have a shorter scope than LilyPond?
I've tried running both lilypond.exe and lilipon-window.exe as the
executable on config, with the same results.
Thank you!

RE: Aligning relative to page
Your question is also related to the discussion near the end of the Merging
scores in one pdf thread which just moved to the French LilyPond user
discuss list.
If you understand that the behavior of \markup is always relative to the
present location on the page, then you can understand why the kludge of
commands in Romel's answer is necessary. Center, right-align, left-align,
column, etc. are all relative to a hypothetical note at the current
location (which is the left margin when \markup is outside of a score). You
have to manually move the current location to the place where you want the
text before typing it.
Where the discussion in the other thread was headed was that when we
inexperienced users put a \markup outside of a score, we expect it to format
the text relative to the entire page. We shouldn't have to use fill-line or
hspace in order to get text to move to the center of the page. And vertical
control of the position of a \markup is almost impossible unless there is a
score after it.
I'm optimistic that sdfgsdhdshd and Valentin will uncover some useful tips
and tricks on the French list. Valentin promised to provide a summary for
the English list.
And please don't take this as negative criticism for LilyPond. LilyPond is
intended to be a music writing language, not a book typesetting language. It
is a tribute to the power of LilyPond that we are able to stretch its
boundaries this way with tips and tweaks.
My suggestion, instead of changing the present behavior of \markup, is to
add a \text or \para context object to contain a paragraph of text with
very simple formatting capabilities in its \layout block, such as:
paraBefore = Absolute (in, mm, pt) or Relative (x.x lines)
paraAfter = Absolute (in, mm, pt) or Relative (x.x lines)
paraLeft = Absolute (in, mm, pt) or Relative (% column width or x.x chars)
Indent
paraRight = Absolute (in, mm, pt) or Relative (% column width or x.x chars)
Indent
paraFirst = Absolute (in, mm, pt) or Relative (% column width or x.x chars)
Indent
(negative would be hanging indent)
paraJust = Left, Center, Right, Full Justification
Most standard TeX character formatting commands (color, italic, bold,
underline, size, etc.) already exist, but may need to be tweaked for the new
context.

RE: Aligning relative to page - Use OOoLilyPond
Valentin,
I'm not trying to start an email flame war. But it really bothers me when
programmers get condescending with users, implying that we are stupid if we
can't understand the documentation, or if we don't have all hundreds of
pages of snippets using complex overrides and Scheme tweaks memorized.
The problem with the LilyPond documentation is that users have to understand
Scheme in order to understand LilyPond. A programming language should be
completely self contained. My impression is that about 30-40% of all of the
examples in the documentation include Scheme code to make the LilyPond code
work.
I still haven't figured out when plain text quotes are adequate for a
command, and when #text scheme contants are needed for a command. And what
the heck does a #' mean with some of the commands? In other words, reading
the documentation, I can't figure out which commands are LilyPond commands
and which are Scheme commands. There are pages and pages of context and
variable names without a clue as to what they mean or how a user
off-the-street is supposed to change their values.
I guess you could say I have a love-hate relationship with LilyPond. I love
the parts that are intuitively obvious and I hate the parts that I can't
figure out without wasting days of trial and error.
Here is the snippet I added:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=300
Your LSR explanation incorrectly implies that \fill-line is equivalent to
center.
The correct explanation is that \fill-line equally spaces all of the text
objects in the list across the width of the page. If there is only one
object, then the behavior of \fill-line results in it being centered.
\fill-line {The quick brown fox}
results in something like:
The quick brown fox
\fill-line {The quick brown fox}
results in something like:
The quick brown fox
Whereas,
\center-align {The quick brown fox}
results in something like:
The
quick
brown
fox
and
\center-align {The quick brown fox}
results in something like:
brown fox
Put yourself in the shoes of a new user trying to center a line of text who
has already tried center-align. On his own, searching the documentation, he
would never intuitively figure out that the command \fill-line is what he is
looking for.
Now imagine that new user trying to program something like:

And, I confess that my solution a few months ago was to use \hspace to brute
force put the text where I wanted it by trial and error. This was a pain but
solved my problem at the time. What really frustrated me was the vertical
spacing issues which are perfectly illustrated in Valentin's LSR snippet. A
\markup always gravitates closer to the score after it, which makes
formatting the twelve verses of my sample third antiphon above nearly
impossible.
I gave up trying to understand the \markup documentation when I discovered I
could use OOoLilyPond to create png score snippets for each hymn that I
could paste into MS Word documents containing the text of the church
service. Then I have complete WYSIWYG control over the page layout. For pure
production, this is by far the fastest solution I have found to get work
done.

RE: Merging scores in one pdf
The biggest pain which made me give up was \markup is assumed to be associated with the score after it. The vertical spacing and page breaks don't allow you to end a page with a \markup block. It always moves to the next page with the \score. I can see the usefulness of the \markup block as it is currently programmed. But it is really intended for adding a few words of performance directions above a score. What I would really like to have is a \text block with all the usual formatting capability of a \markup but not associated with any \score. Each block would represent a paragraph of plain text. Ideally, the vertical spacing and page breaks should treat each \text block just as it would a \score block. It might even be useful for the \text block to have \layout and \markup just like a \score block for paragraph titles. Also, when I use \center in a \markup block outside of a score, I expect the text to center between the page margins (i.e., center on the entire width of the \score object below), not center on the left margin so the text runs off the page. In my opinion, having to use fill-line or other tweaks to get the text to move to the center of the page is a bug, not a feature.

RE: accidentals in cadenzas
It happens for all bar lines in a cadenza. I write a lot of chant music and
this behavior is very annoying, especially in the tenor line. Using
#(set-accidental-style 'forget) works for me. I guess it's better to mark
all of the accidentals than none of them.
\new Staff = men
\clef bass
\key g \major
\new Voice = Tenor {\voiceOne \cadenzaOn \override Stem
#'length = #5
#(set-accidental-style 'forget)
a4 b4 c'4 c'4 c'4 b4 c'4 d'4 c'4 b2 \bar | s4
b4 c'4 d'4 d'\breve d'4 e'4( f'4 e'4 d'4) c'2 \bar
| s4
a4 b4 c'4 c'4 b4 c'4 d'4( c'4) b2 \bar | s4
b4 c'4 d'4 d'\breve d'4 e'4( f'4 e'4 d'4) c'2 \bar
| s4
e'4 e'4 e'4 e'4 d'2 c'4 b4 c'1 b1 \bar |.
}
\new Voice = Bass {\voiceTwo \cadenzaOn \override Stem
#'length = #5
d4 d4 d4 d4 d4 g4 g4 g4 g4 g2 \bar | s4
g4 g4 g4 g\breve g4 c4( b,4 c4 g4) a2 \bar | s4
d4 d4 d4 d4 g4 g4 g2 g2 \bar | s4
g4 g4 g4 g\breve g4 c4( b,4 c4 g4) a2 \bar | s4
c4 c4 c4 c4 g2 fis4 g4 c2( d2) g g,1 \bar |.
}
One thing I haven't experimented with yet is breaking the cadenza at every
bar line. Maybe doing a \cadenzaOff before, and \cadenzaOn after, each bar
line might fix the accidentals, spacing around the bar lines, and matching
the bar line counts with the lyrics. Unfortunately, I'm a bit lazy. I prefer
solutions that require less typing, not more typing.

Subject: accidentals in cadenzas
I'm writing a cadenza, and it seems that \bar does not have
the effect of accidentals being reset as if there was a real bar
line. For instance
d16 [e fis g a b cis d e f e d]
\bar
e,16 [fis gis a b cis d e f g f e]
In the second phrase, only a sharp will be printed for the gis, not
for the fis.
Is there any way to get the effect that at the invislble bar line all
previous accidentals are forgotten/reset?

RE: Connecting Bar Lines With ChoirStaff
Thanks. There appears to be a contradiction: 6.4.5 Bar Lines In scores with many staves, a \bar command in one staff is automatically applied to all staves. The resulting bar lines are connected between different staves of a StaffGroup, PianoStaff, or ChoirStaff. The last sentence should probably be changed to See 6.4.7 System Start Delimiters for examples of the different handling of bar lines for GrandStaff, StaffGroup, and ChoirStaff. Should probably add PianoStaff to the page as well.

I am using OpenOffice.org version 2.0.3 on winXP . My problem is :
on OpenOffice.org with macro Ctrl+M from OOoLilyPond (version 2.10)
The Ctrl+M macro does not start anymore, even after new installation of
all LilyPond, OOoLilypond and OpenOffice.org version 2.0.3 !
I even have cleaned the registry (I use regularly Regseeker without
trouble).
This happened after having modifies the path of the LilyPond executable

c:\program ... not found
OOoLilypond, OpenOffice.org and LilyPond are all installed in c:\Program

macro is refused to be installed in the Macro OpenOffice Library (the

Customization of ctrl+M has been done according to instructions.
What happens now:

typing Ctrl+M, Enter
gives an error message of OpenOffice.org: incorrect value or data

Well, at least it helped me to get it working. ;) If you use an editor that is unicode-aware you can simply insert the corresponding symbol wherever it is needed and rely on lilypond to do the rest. Of course, the precise process depends on the editor. In my quick test I used emacs where you can enter any symbol using its hex unicode value. Because of some weird setting that had messed up my meta key I had to include the line (define-key global-map [?\C-c ?u] #'ucs-insert) in my .emacs file. Then typing CTRL-C, U, 211F resulted in the symbol being inserted. (Only a white box was shown in emacs itself but compiling with lilypond and viewing the pdf file worked just fine). If you use another editor and cannot figure it out yourself, maybe other users know how to do it. Hope this helps, Max Apple users (OSX) using a text editor with UTF-8 text encoding (I like Smultron, and JEdit with Lilypond tool works also) can use the Character Palette. It is accessed by going to System Preferences==International. Click on the Input Menu button; check the box for Character Palette in the window under the buttons. Also check the box Show input menu in menu bar. The Response symbol can be found in the Character Palette by selecting Symbols==Letterlike Symbols.

Not a lilypond-book-preamble.ly bug (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1))
It helps if you include the = in the -dbackend=eps option. You can see
from my previous message that I read the documentation correctly. We all
make mistakes. :-)
Is it possible to include more helpful error messages for the command line
options, when somebody gets a chance?
It appears that I have OOoLilyPond working now, but there are some issues:
1. The default templates with OOoLilyPond assume simple notes, you have to
modify the templates to delete the { and } before and after the snippet in
order to accept a \score {} block. Since the discussions on the list
indicate that the project is leaning toward requiring \score {} blocks in
the future, the default templates probably need to be updated.
2. The eps images paste into the swriter file transparent, you can't view
and proofread the music until you print -- I can't figure out how to change
this. It's really annoying. The documentation says the image is supposed to
be in low resolution, not invisible.
3. The temporary files are in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp directory, if you have
find the OOoLilypond.ly and OOoLilypond.out files to debug a problem.
Looking at the OOoLilypond.ly file is the only way to see how your music
snippet really looks to the LilyPond compiler.

Can anyone tell me a workaround that will do the same thing?

Page Break in Markup block
It's easy to break pages inside a Score block, but I need to break the page before a Markup block before the score. Paul ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Frustrated with Chant Notation -- Convert-ly or Lily4jEdit plugin bug?
I've been using Lilypond for the past week and just installed Lily4jEdit. I am transcribing a complete Eastern Orthodox Christmas Vigil church service from Russian Znamenny Chant to English and am extremely frustrated at how hard it is to troubleshoot command errors. It's taken me 4 days to get only 3 hymns done because all the undocumented tweaks that I've had to search for. It took me 4 hours just to figure out how to turn off the time signature. I'm still having trouble with text running off the page or getting centered in the margins instead of over or under the score. I finally figured out that the only way to represent chant lyrics is to associate the first syllable and last syllable with their own notes then quote the text in between so it centers under the breve. This is the only way to force all of the lyrics to center under its own measure. Unfortunately, the justification is less than desirable because the quoted text is not padded, but it's readable. I was expecting to have the whole service completed while I was on vacation this week. I've been having to compile after every measure to catch my errors in phrasing the English to the Russian melody. I'm hoping that using jEdit will help speed up the process, if I can figure out how to get the hyperlinks between the console and pdf windows working. Anyway ... the bug: My very first attempted procedure using the jEdit plugin was to update my file from 2.9.17 to 2.11.2. I noticed that Convert-ly will not accept path names with spaces. I don't know if this bug is already reported or if the problem is the plugin is not passing the filename to Convert-ly with the path quoted properly. I had to map a drive letter to the folder where the file is located and remove spaces from the filename before the update would process.

Another Chant Notation Question
The next hymn I am transcribing has optional melismas offset with brackets on the staff. What is the simplest way to insert [ and ] around the notes? Ideally something like \bar [ would be great.

RE: Another Chant Notation Question
Parentheses will work. I've seen it both ways.
