They have the strokes in different places than the Lilypond versions. I guess nobobdy did this so far, so I have to do it myself. Yes, we have a feature request (http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2042 ), but no one has done any work on it. Where is the point in the code where I have to start? I want to do it right and use the same lilypond syntax like 4\+ or 6\\. I suppose that the proper way would be to create new glyphs in our fonts (using metafont, source file mf/feta-numbers.mf) and then adjust the format-bass-figure function (in scm/translation-functions.scm) to use those glyphs for the slashed figures. Despite my lack of metafont knowledge, I have started tweaking some of the glyphs: http://codereview.appspot.com/5683051 That patch simply takes the digits 2, 4 and 5 of the feta font, stretches the one line that will be slashed, and adds a vertical box as a slash through it. These glyphs are not yet used by the figured bass formatting functions, but you can already use them via the musicglyph markup function. Attached is a simple test file showing the glyphs. Some issues: -) I have no idea how to properly implement the 6+ (the upper arc should have much less curvature and the slash is drawn through it. I would like the flare to have less turning angle, but with beta != +-90 it is no circle any more). -) Currently I place the slashes at more or less hardcoded positions and they are straight vertical. In particular for the 2 it might make sense to calculate the real intersection of the slash with the lower wavy line, so the slash is vertically centered. It might also be slanted to be perpendicular to the line it slashes through. Similarly, I'm not sure if the 5 should get a slightly slanted slash... -) I have no idea whether I should adjust the height of the boxes to include the slash. -) etc. It would be great if someone with more metafont knowledge could improve those issues. Cheers, Reinhold Very good! For me the next step would to get these automatically for lilypond syntax 2\+ and after that worry about the 6, 7 and 9. Detailed tweaks like microplacement and shape of the slashes are in the end the most important for the viewer, though. I agree on that. Maybe one of the readers who are better lilypond-educated than me could answer this? Nils ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
GUB darwin-x86::cross/gcc build error
Hello, I can't build darwin-x86::cross/gcc with GUB.

I got: checking for the correct version of the gmp/mpfr/mpc libraries... no configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.3.1+ and MPC 0.8.0+. I think GUB built all these.

lilypond.org - Denemo
Greetings List, I noticed that on http://lilypond.org/easier-editing.html Denemo is described as using an outdated version Lilypond. I would like to ask where you got that information and why do you think it is (still) valid. Denemo works with 2.12 and 2.13 just well and emits that version information to our Lilypond generator.

Re: lilypond.org - Denemo
Hopefully somebody will send a patch. Don't you have a Lilypond webmaster to remove the box? A dedicated webmaster (maybe in personal union with other tasks) is a good thing because people like to have one person as contact if they have problems with the webpage. I strongly recommend to create such a post and/or to use a Wiki-like CMS to build your website around so that (trusted) users can edit the pages themselves if its too much work.

How to engrave text or a note below/within the keysignature as Drone Indicator?
Hello World, I often work with drone-instruments like bagpipes which need to know how to tune their drones. In my handwritten notation I included the Drone indicator below the keysig as simple text A or A/E because the absolute notename does not matter. How do I do that in Lilypond? Or do you have any other ideas where a Drone Signature could be placed? Either as Notes or as Text.

Re: Major version: LilyPond 2.14.0 released!
1. I will not respond to your insults 2. Of course this was about stable releases. 3. It is called Release early, release often, and listen to your customers and its the total opposite of what you have said right from the very beginning of this statments appearing in The Cathedral and the Bazaar. Its ALL about the users and using them as Co-Developers because they will report the bugs to you. If you think that you have normal users who only should see stable and bugfree releases then you are not doing RERO at all but you are building a cathedral.

I suppose what Nils meant was not that we have 2.13.x *unstable* *developer* releases every fortnight, but rather that we have stable releases about every two years (of course, not counting the minor releases, which mainly backport fixes to serious problems)... Release early, release often is specifically aimed at developers -- get the code out there, let people play around with it, let them help find+fix bugs. That phrase as **nothing** to do with stable releases for normal users. If people want a stable release, they can take a look at the 15 critical issues. Once those are down, we can announce a beta and find approximately 5 more critical issues. Then we'll have a second beta, and probably discover 2 more issues. Then we'll have a third beta, find no more critical issues within two weeks, and then release 2.14.0. But this whole process doesn't get off the ground until the current crop of release-critical issues are fixed.

GUB to build mingw 2.12.x still possible?
Hi list, is it still possible to use GUB to build lilypond stable 2.12.3? Simply using the release tarball or the stable branch from git does not work because of autoconf and the spec file. /mnt/sdb3/workdir/gub-mingw/gub/target/mingw/src/lilypond-git.sv.gnu.org--lilypond.git-stable-2.12/autogen.sh: line 36: autoconf: unbound variable Command barfed: cd /mnt/sdb3/workdir/gub-mingw/gub/target/mingw/src/lilypond-git.sv.gnu.org--lilypond.git-stable-2.12 ./smart-autogen.sh --noconfigure And just building bin/gub mingw::url-to-stable-tarball does not work, too. Maybe you can help me? We @ Denemo can't take the responsibility to release with a unstable 2.13 lilypond win32 binary build from a random and unknown state of Lilyponds git master branch. We ran into several problems because of API- and behaviour- changes (for examples Titles and Author changed from 2.12 - 2.13 or the placement of chord-symbols was broken suddenly, spamming all non-chord notes with NA above it and places the chord symbols right into the staff ) Greetings, Nils http://www.denemo.org ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
Re: nice stockhausen excerpt
Lilyponds marketing-strategy is It looks better than any other computergenerated notation so people want to see this in the examples. Whatever the examples are, artifical, public domain or latest hollywood soundtrack, the way these examples get meaning is to show them between Finale, Sibelius, Capella, NtEd, Noteedit and Canorus screenshots to show that they look better.

Denemo on Lilypond-Website
Good day, lilypond-devs! My name is Nils and I'm the website-maintainer for Denemo. Denemo is a music notation program for Linux and Windows (and possibly MacOS) that lets you rapidly enter notation for typesetting via the LilyPond music engraver. It is an official GNU project and the website can be found here: http://www.denemo.org I noticed that Denemo is not linked on the lilypond-website, but I think it would be a good addition because, at least in my experience, its the most complete and well designed notation program to work with lilypond. Because export and print with lilypond (and NOT WYSIWYG) is the main goal of Denemo there are special functions and modes to work with lilypond features even if they have not graphical representation until now. So please link the Denemo-website on lilypond.org so that more users can use Lilypond and Denemo. If you have any questions or if you are interested in any matter please join our mailinglist, we would be glad to have any of the lilypond folks with us: http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/denemo-devel greetings from the Denemo team! Nils Gey P.S. I don't know who reads this mail so if it reaches any bored developers: Denemo needs your help! Its already fast-developing with many unique features (Enter notes via microphone, full Guile/Scheme Scriptig support including recording Mouseclick-actions without scheme knowledge) but there is still work to do. ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
