  Months ago things improved in FreeBSD for the ports tree (a collection of 
makefiles and other files to help users get software installed) which should 
make porting a newer version of lilypond relatively easy. Libtool was one 
place I remember trouble in getting the port working right, even when I could 
compile otherwise. If the port can be made, then package creation should be 
little more than commands in the ports tree. I will have to take another stab 
at it again in the very near future. The current version in ports in 2.2.2 
and the development version was removed a while back. Some work was done to 
update it by someone else, but I guess that did not go through with success.
  As for library versions, I know that multiple versions can coexist (and will 
do so until programs using old libraries are updated to the newer ones). I am 
not sure how using an older version is handled if it did not exist on the

attemting to fix freebsd 2.5.32 port problems

2005-06-25 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
The only use for output redirect I seem to have anymore is 21, but the 
configure does many more advanced things; still, what does  mean with no 
numbers? I thought that changing my freebsd ports makefile to 

#GNU_CONFIGURE= yes
USE_AUTOCONF_VER=259

might make a difference; That would force autoconf to be executed, which I 
thought should rebuild the configure file, and the previous line would get 
commented as it is implied by the next.
Like I say, I do not understand redirects to understand this fix, nor have I 
been able to ever learn autoconf and other building tools to know where this 
problem originates from.
You may need to manually patch this file; for some reason patch refuses to 
patch the file on my side and I have not yet found out why.

available in ports (I wonder where 2.57 went). on freebsd they are called 
autoconf253 and autoconf259 and are stored in /usr/local/bin by default.
Line 24 of ./Documentation/pictures/GNUMakefile seems to get interpreted as if 
icotool is a command when attempting to build it with ports. I'll try to 
diagnose later, but it seems to go weird if when not manually configured 
because a manual autogen.sh seems to be all it needs.

Re: 3.0

Lilypond 2.3 is marked as broken on freebsd. Now that I'we moved to

 It's probably the easiest to make a Piano_pedal_swallow_performer that
 sits at the piano-staff level, and have that scoop up the events. Then
 have Piano_pedal_performers at staff level. This is similar to
 Repeat_engraver which cooperates with the Repeat_acknowledge_engraver.


 Let me know if you have more questions!

  I thought about this recently for both dynamic and pedal marks. I thought 4 
tracks (RH, LH, dynamics, pedal) on one channel would distribute all the 
changes. Either my midi knowledge is wrong or/and that couldn't work well 
about how a mark would be handled if it applied to only one line. I don't 
want to start hate mail and fired discussions, but better notational  midi 
knowledge is something I can always use so . . .

If you are talking about the opening having a vertical slope between the end

observed the resemblance of it, rather than the opening being perpendicular 
to the hairpin direction. I don't know wether it is intended or not though

I thought that the hairpins were angled to fit tighter spaces, such as between 
two crowded staves, rather than to follow the change in pitch. I don't have 
any old sources showing consistency with any ideas here.

If it isn't a normal LilyPond option, I'd like to at least see how to tweak it

  This is why markup text has been frustrating for me; I have been moving them

Dynamic questions

  http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/input/regression/out-www/lily-1175767955.ly 
mentions that something like /ff/ will appear on the same horizontal level. 
Should other markings, such as cresc, do it too? My guess is that

\set crescendoText = \markup { \italic cresc. poco }
a'2\ a a a\!\mf

from the dynamics section of the manual works, but that something like

a\f\cresc a a\!\ff

would not follow that the same way.
  Should a consistency between the space between the crescendoSpanner being 
adjacent to the preceding crescendoTextand and the space between 
crescendoSpanner and where it ends (particularly, for example, when ending 
next to another dynamic). Sometimes it seems to work like

cresc.- - - f

and othertimes its like

cresc.- - -f

depending on spacing. In the manual, there is an example even showing the last 
dash shrunk down; it almost seems to be a dot.
  If the current working is preferred, or others are not implemented for some 
reason, that works for me too; I didn't find any mailings I could notice to 
be relevant, and the manual doesn't mention a word one way or the other which 
lead me to assume that it either works as desired or hadn't been looked at 
like this yet.

 Yes, that's exactly what I had in mind, thanks.

 Btw, are there any parameters to disable the line pointing out of the
 note at all (right now, the whole and half notes have a black dot inside
 them if the text is  and coordinates are 0 . 0) and a way to change
 the rectangle size?

  I don't know if the balloon-padding interface changes the size of the box or 
tries to just shift it around on the page; I haven't played with the balloon 
feature myself.
  Perhaps some people would prefer the line connecting to the text to go away 
when there is no text and/or have an option for wether it is present or not. 
Some people might want just the box, and some people might want a line to 
blank space for writing on later. What does everyone else think?

reading material?

2004-03-17 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
My main problem with attempting linux programming has been not knowing where 
to start. I find when I've tried to jump in on code in one project or 
another, I get headaches from errors about not being able to write to a 
'variable' I defined because they got me to create what was really an object, 
which I only messed with a bit in c++ and not c like the current project was 
in. I've got a rather handy reference book for c/c++, but that was written to 
include borland's turbo c++ and requires a more powerful one for some 
projects in the book (it even ends with a touch at windows gui programming).
I was wondering if anyone could suggest references they use for the gnu c++ 
and python (that'll be a new one for me) that can help get me up to speed for 
linux programming (and hopefully understanding the lines of LilyPond code 
more than just vaguely). If something like info docs are preferred, where 
should I start with those?
I know there are coding guidelines mentioned on the site, but I don't know of 
any sort of getting started type of docs.  =(
Thanks for any feedback,
Ed Sutton

 Of course, it may sometimes be tricky to find out what RPM/.dpkg

 LilyPond problem.
  My current stopper for building docs is a gs failure which I am guessing is 
due to my state of running font-deprived. I don't see any reason why they 
would actually state the requirements unless they're kinda odd; I think I've 
only got the basic of the basics in my available fonts now.
  Maybe I shouldn't have done that since I know so little about working with 
(/adding) fonts under linux. Maybe I'll figure it out if I have time this 
next week; It's my busy spring break...  =)
  The deps I needed were otherwise mentioned so far and reading readme/install 
files of those or config output makes it easy to figure out what I needed for 
those too when necessary. LilyPond goes to the extent to leave dependencies 
trackable just by reading and for this I am once again thankful for how well 
LilyPond is developed.

 You are right.  Maybe we are sending conflicting messages: do not

I've still got a little bit of work ahead of me to make it so I can compile 
docs myself, but yet I still try to help with the docs the best I can.

 What to do?  Maybe we should just change the 'do not compile' attitude
 a bit, and have 'supported' development platforms with a detailed
 recipe to compile lily.  The contributers of binary releases should
 make sure that the recipe stays up to date.  Would this work?
I think a 'do not compile' attitude, as does a 'supported platforms' 
limitation, creates an atmosphere where the thought of 'open source' is not 
feeling so open to people.

Compiling LilyPond has helped me reduce my linux ignorance and also become 
aware of some dependencies which are pretty cool programs themselves (thank 
you again). Of all the problems I've had trying to get programs to compile, 
I've had worse problems and spent longer trying to deal with packages. Just 
keep it 'workable' and I might just yet be able to build my lilydocs again.

Still thankful...

  My private lessons instructor for trombone has interest in LilyPond since 
I've been showing its output off to him. He has a lot of music entered into 
encore, which is an old program he runs on his mac computers. He would 
probably switch to LilyPond if he could import those scores; I haven't found 
any word on encore anywhere besides from him though. It can spit out into 
midi and into another format that is used on some electric keyboard, 
synthesizer, or piano.
  Are you guys up for hire on helping him get the docs to be able to be 
imported. Since he has such a large archive, I could talk to him about 
perhapse hiring your services (as I heard was an option in the past through 
lilypond.org). If importing encore rather than midi would be preferred, maybe 
he might even consider allowing some hardware with software be 'borrowed'. 
Not being able to nicely port his archive to another program is one reason 
why he still keeps that stuff up and in use.

virus info/fix

2004-02-28 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
  The following link has virus details to what I suspect has been flooding 
lilypond email lists lately. I am only assuming since I have no up to date 
antivirus system to test them against right now. Confirmations appreciated.
  Reading the following page can help educate windows users about the virus. 
the section #removalinstructions explains how to remove it, but I think it 
requires norton antivirus in particular. If manual removal details are 
desired, email me and I will come up with what I can (win9x machines are my 
primary familiarity).

Re: SF s during dynamic spanner.

2004-02-19 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
Sorry, I noticed this at least a few days ago too (v2.1.23 here right now). If 
I remember right, the template for pianodynamics has that problem. I thought 
it just wasn't following dynamics in the dynamic line, perhaps to the 's' 
notes. I think it has always printed as desired though for output. The 
following change eliminated that error for me (if I remember right).

 \translator {
  \type Performer_group_performer
  \name Dynamics
  \consists Piano_pedal_performer
%  \consists Span_dynamic_performer
  \consists Dynamic_performer
}

I'll try to read postings, but will be quite busy until at least next Tuesday

  Well, maybe tweak isn't the right word; however, I am afraid that

 Hmm, my thinking was different.  In the example I sent to you, I don't
 want that the position of the left rest affects the position of the
 right rest.  I agree with you that this is quite difficult to manage.
 Instead, the right rest should be shifted down because the whole note
 in the other voice is still `active'.  With other words, the duration
 of a note should be a kind of spanner which influences the positioning
 of rests in the other voice.  Another useful application of a `spanner
 duration' would be the length of lyrics extender lines.  In the
 attached example, the extender line shouldn't stop after the second
 notehead but extend to the end of the bar.  Finally, it could solve
 the problem of the following input:

   \score {
 \notes
   
  \relative c' \new Voice {
g1 |
  }
  \lyricsto  \new Lyrics \lyrics {
foo __
  }

   }

 Lilypond gives a lot of warnings and doesn't print the extender line.

  Another idea of this could be wether or not to use this on dynamics; right 
now if a \ is attached to the first note, and you wanted it to end at the 
end of measure 2, the only way I am aware of to do that is to attach the end 
to 's' notes in the second measure. As such, I usually attach the end to the 
note in the next measure, since that is where I intend for the cresc to end, 
but I don't know if that is the preferred way or not. It leads to hairpins 
being broken over barlines becoming more likely. I only recall seeing this in 
use from horrible layouts I did in finale, but I'm sure that some are 
probably in publications too.

control of lyrical spacing from staff

2004-02-15 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
  I have a score with a piano and 2 voice staves. The lyrics for the first 
voice seem closer to the dynamics of the second voice than they do to the 
notes of the first voice (which doesn't go below middle c if I remember 
right). Even if it isn't quite right to do so, I wanted to move the lyrics 
closer to the staff since I think it could make it look better and it should 
be easy to get that last staffline off of page 3 when printing individual 
singer parts. Should I really just squeeze horizontal spacing instead to make 
it work out?
  It's a copy of a copyrighted publication that I put into lilypond to correct 
mistakes, print off individual parts to make it less confusing for the 
elementary school kids to read, and be able to put together midi recordings 
for accompaniment and so they can hear how the melody of their part goes 
based on pitch and rhythm. As such, I assume it wouldn't be the wisest idea 
to just post the whole thing up as an attachment to a publicly available 
list, but if snippets are OK, I'll do that. I could also write up equivalent 
short samples to express any issues I'm trying to sort out if those would 
help.
Thanks again,
Ed Sutton

Sangers Morgenlied

2004-02-05 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
I haven't searched out my paper with my other notes yet, but here goes all 
things i can remember that were even worth commenting on. I am left wondering 
which would be correct, and which match the original still since I have yet 
to acquire an original score:
Dynamics: The usual piano dynamic centering issue. Can measure 6 use the 
cresc. command (which may have further future midi output benefits)?
Should 'Lieblich, etwas geschwind' (and other markings at the start of songs) 
line up with the time signature? Usually I hear that is what should be done 
when I hear rules on it.
16th note spacing at the end of measure 4: How close should they be allowed 
to get to each other and to the barline? Are they spaced closer than the 
previous four 16th notes because of lyric spacing demands? Should all 16th 
notes in that measure be spaced more equally?
Measure 4 hairpin decresc.: Seems it was moved to make it look nice for when 
the score was more than 1 page. Now it specifically collides with a stem.
Measure 8: fermata in piano right hand, on the rest, collides with the 16th 
note to its left when the score is compressed down to 1 page.
I'm off for some well needed sleep now,
Ed Sutton

Re: grace slur and de/crescendi

2004-02-05 Thread Edward Sanford Sutton, III
I personally agree more with attaching centered or to the right of the 
starting note over starting it on the note's left. As for the right, I've 
seen both styles at barlines where it ends before and it ends at the note 
after the barline, and usually prefer the appearance of it cutting off before 
because of how it doesn't split as often across new lines.
The last dynamic does seem a little high to me. I'll do my research before 
voicing more than my observed opinions; I've only technically learned that 
piano dynamics should usually be centered.
As for slurs, maybe consider looking at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/input/
regression/out-www/lily-1931220523.ly to understand the decisions being made 
about attachment.
