Yes, if I tell it explicitly.  Short of that, Lilypond should pick the
way that best reflects the art of typesetting, as recognized by the
developers.  It is ok if there are manual overrides (and style overrides
for a whole document), but the defaults should not require music
typesetting taste and choices.

That seems like a reasonable rule. But a quick look through my pile  
of full scores (Mostly Dover reprints of 18th and 19th century  
scores) shows it is not always obeyed. I.e. there are plenty of  
cases where the a time signature change is placed after the repeat  
sign even though there is no time change inside the repeat.


If one of the alternatives of the repeat end in a meter different from  
what it begins, then if the expansion rule should prevail, there must  
be a time signature at the beginning of the repeat after the |:. And  
it is then unnecessary to have one extra before.


But not even that was followed in the Bulgarian score. It looks like:
  11/16 |: ... | 8/16 ... | 11/16 ... | 8/16 ... :|

As a composer/arranger I always put the time change after the repeat  
sign! Rather than talk about the right or wrong way of doing this it  
should just be a user's option.



I figure LilyPond might support what people want to typeset.

That seems like a reasonable rule. But a quick look through my pile of full 
scores (Mostly Dover reprints of 18th and 19th century scores) shows it is not 
always obeyed. I.e. there are plenty of cases where the a time signature change

repeat. As a composer/arranger I always put the time change after the repeat 
sign! Rather than talk about the right or wrong way of doing this it should

Unfortunately I couldn't build it on OS X, and MacPorts doesn't have the most
recent version. I'll try it on Linux soon.

Strange word `oud' in world.itely

2009-08-09 Thread Werner LEMBERG

In the end of `world.itely' there is the following sentence:

  Oud methods by the following authors, contain examples of mainly
  Turkish and Arabic compositions.

Obviously, the word `oud' is wrong.  However, I can't see the right
one...

This is not correct if meter change takes place within the repeats, as  
I indicated.

Issue 786 in lilypond: Extenders in lyrics stop prematurely if a single underscore is found

2009-08-09 Thread codesite-noreply

Labels: Lyrics

Comment #4 on issue 786 by v.villenave: Extenders in lyrics stop  
prematurely if a single underscore is found

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=786

Another report by Werner:

"
The attached image is taken from notation.pdf, subsection `Multiple
notes to one syllable'; the bug IMHO is that the extender line is too
short.  Similar to `-- _ _' (with respect to the length), `__ _ _ _'
should construct an extender line up to the `e'.

Issue 828 in lilypond: New time signatures should be inserted between repeat barlines

2009-08-09 Thread codesite-noreply

Status: Accepted
Owner: v.villenave
CC: lemzwerg
Labels: Type-Enhancement Priority-Medium

New issue 828 by v.villenave: New time signatures should be inserted  
between repeat barlines

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=828

Meter changes should occur before an opening repeat sign.  If there is a
closing one immediately adjacently, opening and closing one are placed
apart, and the meter change in between (see attached example).

Please refer to the complete discussion on
