Kieren,
The \displayLilyMusic is not within the \relative block.
So it's the same situation; the command works fine
outside the \relative block, but not within:
\displayLilyMusic \relative { c' d e f g g, a b c1 }
==>
{
c''4 d'' e'' f'' g'' g' a' b' c''1
}
but...
\relative { \displayLilyMusic { c' d e f g g, a b c1 } }
==>
{
c'4 d e f g g, a b c1
}
..which doesn't help because the octaves are all wrong.
Besides, the console display is not the issue; I want to
be able to access the pitch data from within a macro.
But thanks!

Re: accessing absolute pitch data from within \relative?
Hi Mark,
I want to retrieve absolute pitch data from within a \relative
block but I can't figure it out. Here's my work so far. Probably
there's a much easier way. If so, let me know!
How's this?
\version "2.12.2"
#(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
relativeMusic = \relative
{
c' d e f g g, a b c1
}
\displayLilyMusic \relativeMusic
Cheers,

By the way, is this a -user or a -devel question? Sometimes I
post to -devel just so I don't scare -user newbies away with

Hi Mark,
I'm very hesitant to make suggestions at all, since I don't know
scheme, but this interests me and I've been snooping around the
code trying to figure out where these things are defined. It
looks like you could define another character to specify
"suppress-accidental" in the "define-music-display-methods.scm"
file, in this block:
;;;
;;; Notes, rests, skips...
;;;
(define (simple-note->lily-string event parser)
(format #f "~a~a~a~a~{~a~}" ; pitchname octave !? octave-check
articulations
(note-name->lily-string (ly:music-property event 'pitch) parser)
(octave->lily-string (ly:music-property event 'pitch))
(let ((forced (ly:music-property event 'force-accidental))
(cautionary (ly:music-property event 'cautionary)))
(cond ((and (not (null? forced))
forced
(not (null? cautionary))
cautionary)
"?")
((and (not (null? forced)) forced) "!")
(else "")))
(let ((octave-check (ly:music-property event 'absolute-octave)))
(if (not (null? octave-check))
(format #f "=~a" (cond ((>= octave-check 0)
(make-string (1+ octave-check) #\'))
((< octave-check -1)
(make-string (1- (* -1 octave-check))
#\,))
(else "")))
""))
(map-in-order (lambda (event)
(music->lily-string event parser))
(ly:music-property event 'articulations
I can see where it checks for "?" for cautionary and "!" for
forced. Assuming, for example, that the character "&" is not used
for something else (I can't think of anything it's used for in
lilypond source files), maybe you could add
((and (not (null? suppressed)) suppressed) "&")
But then I don't know where you would define the behavior for
suppressed.

working on the new website
Current version: http://percival-music.ca/blogfiles/out/lilypond-general_1.html#Home got the general design of Introduction and Download, but I've decided that it's time to get more people involved. Here's your cut&paste section; it grabs 12 megs or so. mkdir web-gop ; cd web-gop git init-db git remote add -f -t web-gop -m web-gop origin git://git.sv.gnu.org/lilypond.git/ git checkout -b web-gop origin/web-gop Everything we're doing is inside the texinfo/ directory. If you have commit privileges to normal lilypond, you have 'em here as well. (but you'll need to change the .git/config file a bit before you can push. Instructions should be on the CG.) Patrick, could you fiddle around in the texinfo/css/ dir? Do whatever you want -- add images, remove images, change the css, split the css into multiple files (I think CSS supports that), etc. Don't spend too long on it; I'm still not at all certain which s we'll end up keeping, what info will actually go on the front page (which is where most of the CSS will be useful), etc. I'm just getting a bit tired of my garish design. :) Who else is interested? In particular, - do you feel like re-writing the Introduction->Features ? That's best done by a positive person (i.e. not me). - do you feel like making examples for Introduction->Examples? (or quite possibly just use things from input/*.ly, or snippets, or whatever) ** no git, texinfo, or anything required! Just lilypond and email! ** - do you feel like adapting the existing python scripts which set up the download links? This might be do-able in 10 minutes, or it might take a bit longer. - do you feel like wrestling with the web-texi2html-init.pl file to make it generate the second layer of the TOC frame? - do you feel like writing the "doc intro" page? (i.e. a replacement to the current Documentation/index.html, done in texinfo in texinfo/documentation.itexi) ** this page (and the home page) will probably be the most CSS-heavy pages ** I'm totally willing to do any or all of this myself, but if anybody's interested in taking over these tasks, I'll devote my time to other stuff (including working towards the 2.14 release). Andrew, I know that you offered to work on the essay; if you're still willing, then let's talk. The only real question (in my mind) is how much lilypond you want to include, and whether we need to drag in lilypond-book for the website, or if we can do it another way. My hope is to do it another way. If plain texinfo is fine, go ahead and do whatever you want in texinfo/essay.itexi, as long as the result compiles. :) Oh, and does anybody have any immediate comments (or experience) with blind users? As a general rule, I'm quite keen to make things accessible. For the specific case of LilyPond, we have at least one famous blind user, so we should make sure the new webpage is easy for him/them to navigate.

That's because the Dots_engraver overrides 'dot-count, which means
your override is ignored:
46 d->set_property ("dot-count", scm_from_int (dur->dot_count ()));
This also means that the callback for 'dot-count

Just a few days ago, while proofreading some scores I recently wrote, I was thinking exactly the same and I really had problems distinguishing the # and naturals! Han-Wen seems to agree to some extent, since in commit 2caf4b6c15f4e94357fadd913777fb75b3458c61 (2005-11-25 19:20:05) he enlarged the double-sharp with the message: * scm/translation-functions.scm (format-bass-figure): make double sharp larger. The smaller size of the accidentals were introduced in commit 220365d152ed25083f94e4ddc5118bcd01b12eaa (2005-10-06 15:12:56) with no useful commit message: (AncientRemoveEmptyStaffContext): switch on New_figured_bass_engraver by default. > Until now I apply the following patch: > file: usr\share\lilypond\current\scm\translation-functions.scm Unless there is any good reason, I would propose to completely remove the fontsize -2 from the accidentals in figured bass. They are much more readable and look much more like the accidentals in old hand-engravings I have at home (actually, there the numbers are a bit smaller, but the accidentals are even larger than the numbers!). I've uploaded a patch to the codereview page: http://codereview.appspot.com/74056 Okay to apply this patch to master?
