Re: How to chop a slur over a rest in a 1. volta repeat
There's a way, but it's rather messy. Here's some code to give you a start. Essentially you draw a coloured box with \markup, experiment to get the right size, move it into the right position, and place it in layer 2 to put it above everything else, and then make the box white. If you add this when everything else is stable it is just about do-able. One problem is it pushes the volta marks too high. Offhand I don't know how to prevent this. \alternative { { r1 % move to right position -\tweak #'extra-offset #'(-2 . -1.5) % place in higher layer -\tweak #'layer #2 ^\markup { % specify color \with-color #white % start with a visible colour % specify size \filled-box #'(0 . 10) #'(0 . 1) #0 } | } - Original Message - From: Maestraccio maestrac...@gmail.com To: bug-lilypond@gnu.org Sent: Friday, March 20, 2009 12:10 AM Subject: How to chop a slur over a rest in a 1. volta repeat I'm not top posting. Recently I stumbled upon this problem and did not find a satisfying answer in neither the Documentation segment nor in the archives: - \version 2.10.33 \paper{ ragged-right=##t } \relative c'' { \repeat volta 2 { c,2^\markup {tacet la 1 \hspace #-1.5 \raise #1.0 {ma} volta}\p( b a g4) g'8( f |e4 c d2) |r4 e8( c cis4 a' | } \alternative { {r1 |} {c,!2 b) |} } } - Please note the important tacet la 1ma volta line, which indicates rests during the first occurrence of this part. It is a fragment taken from a bigger score and printing the whole thing twice (which may seem obvious here) is not a solution. I experimented with laissezVibrer and repeatTie, but these commands really end and rebegin the tie (not even a slur) al niente (among other drawbacks) instead of chopping the slur in two at a thick point. Is there a way of radically ending a slur at a predefined point at a certain thickness (and beginning it likewise at the other end) or somehow interrupting/blanking/hiding the slur over this 1. volta rest? ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond ___ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond

Re: Point and Click on Ubuntu 8.04
2009/3/19 Craig Bakalian cbakal...@copper.net: TextEdit is its label from the ubuntu's applications menu, but it really is gedit. It is called gedit from the about menu. And, Ubuntu's Document Viewer is what I am using to open up pdfs with. It is showing line number and column, just no click through. The default PDF viewer in GNOME is evince. Unfortunately, point-and-click does not work by default with the gedit/evince combination, in part because IIRC gedit does not support placing the cursor on both coordinates, only the line. A combination that is known to work is Sun JRE + jEdit + LilyPondTool. There are others, please refer to the documentation for clues on how to install the textedit protocol etc. -- Francisco Vila.

The idea is to make an interface so that those interested in programming the printing program need not engage with those interested in generating sound output programs, and vice versa. There are also programs like http://people.bath.ac.uk/masjpf/CDP/csinfopg.htm http://chuck.cs.princeton.edu/ one might use for generating sound output. So the format might be more general than Scala seq files. A user might want to add interpretations directly into the score or tweak the sequence file that LilyPond writes.

On 19 Mar 2009, at 09:57, Mats Bengtsson wrote: One technical problem of such a general feature, is that some MIDI commands that are intended to apply to all MIDI tracks should be inserted in track 0, whereas other MIDI commands (that contain a channel number) should be inserted in the same track as the corresponding music. Another complication (at least conceptually) is the different concepts used in LilyPond and MIDI and how they are mapped to each other. By default, MIDI channels correspond to Staff contexts in LilyPond, but this can be changed by redefining the context definitions in LilyPond. A final complication is the lack of standardization of MIDI. See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2003- 10/msg00069.html for some related information.
