lilypond authors, release notes, announcements

It looks like we're getting close to the first release candidate.

- could any new contributors check:
  http://lilypond.org/authors.html
to make sure they're there?  if you have git access, you should
be in "development team", and choose your own title.  If not,
you should be listed in "current contributors", in whichever
categories you think is relevant.
Our list of translators looks particularly slim.
Send patches for:
  Documentation/included/authors.itexi

- who wants to write release notes?  Do it in the same style as
  previous ones.  Keep it brief because various places have
  size limits.

- based on the written policy:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/major-release-checklist
  - we're not using any potential requirements.
  - I'm not paying any attention to "unsorted" stuff.  In
particular, I'm not going to send any announcements anywhere
other than lilypond.org.  If you think we should be sending
announcements, then start making/updating a list.

James, thanks for this offer!

I am not sure about my entry - IMHO "tablature" is more important to me,
and I think more patches from me concerned these issues (not to forget
that Carl had to rework a whole lot of them).
My contribution to fonts was the rotation of the G clef and the varsegno 
sign

(which nobody seems to use, anyway ;-)

But aside from this kind of nitpicking, I feel proud to be on the list 
and I hope

that better time management will allow for spending more time on improving
and extending lilypond.

Regards,

Marc

Au contraire mon amis!

I use the varsegno glyph at the slightest opportunity!

It helps the 'beginners' (I find) that I play with as it seems to be 
much more easy to spot for them that are not used to jumping about in a 
score, than the regular segno.


I am sure that I am breaking some engraving 'rule' but it's a nice glyph.

What I think we need actually - slightly off topic - is a nice 
LilyPond-glyph similar in essence to when you see the word 'Latex' in a 
body of text. I suppose some would call it a 'logotype' or colophon.

I've mused about trying to create a logo using the markup
commands.  If you think about all the graphical ones, plus music
glyphs, there's a lot of options.  The "d" could be a rotated bass
clef, the ls could be compressed treble clefs, the p could be a
half note, etc.  Or simply just using some artistic black and
white shapes and the like.

I'm not terribly graphically artistic, so I always gave up after 5
minutes... but I think it could be cool to have a lilypond-created
logo (which we could call with \lilypond inside a markup).

Cheers,

Dito.

Additionally, sometimes I think it's far more easily to integrate in the
overall design than the usual symbol.  Yours takes no precious vertical
space, and I don't have to bother with shifting around till it's at the
best place.

> I am sure that I am breaking some engraving 'rule' but it's a nice glyph.

I've seen it in Bosworth & Co. scores only, but they seem to use it
exclusively instead of the common shape.
But I also made up the habit of telling the ones I hand my scores out to
that I use a unusual symbol for d'al segno, to avoid irritations.

Alexander

I tend not to like those assembled logos very much.  Most of the time,
they end up too clumsy IMHO; more like something quickly hacked
together, just for the sake of quoting musical symbols.
However, I'd certainly use a predefined command for the inclusion of
something like Valentin's logos from lilynet.net. [*]  (Sadly, I don't

generated with inkscape, not via LilyPond itself.

After a computer upgrade, my certificates to the git repository don't

Good heavens, we couldn't put your name in the trash bin!  No, the
appropriate thing is to move your entry from the "current
developers" to "previous developers" list.

I'll let James do this, along with whatever other requests people

Everything in its place, but I think for this case I'd agree.

No this isn't what I was referring to. Of course the whole lilypond 
'icon' with the green and white is ok for the 'logo' and I like the 
little 'happy quaver' but never really thought of a place for it; but I 
was thinking more of a 'lilypond' in some 
cursive-cum-signature-cum-all-joined-up script, but something 'created' 
as a glyph than just put together.


If you think of J S Bach's signature then that could be used as nice 
glyph on a tagline.


It was just the varsegno made me think of it.

Ah, okay, I get it.  Sorry for the misunderstanding.  Of course I meant
logo + "LilyPond" text, not the logo alone, but still that's a different

It needn't use any music glyphs if the artist(s) don't like it.  I
mean, the \LaTeX command is basically just letters in different
fonts that are positioned slightly higher or lower than the
baseline.  And in italics.  etc.

We could play those games with our own markup commands.

In my opinion it would look a little too fancy.
Nevertheless the idea of creating LilyPond logo is interesting.

\version "2.13.45"

\markup {

13371p4wn3d, huh? ;-)

Yup, that's what I meant.  I know a couple of amateur musicians who
copied some musical symbols to replace single characters of their names
for their letterheads.  I can't think of a single one which doesn't look
ugly.  Sizes don't match, kerning (if that term is allowed for this)
does not match, it looks crowded...  Just like using about the whole
fonts folder for an A5 greeting card.

I'm aware that a good designer can do amazing stuff in this direction,
but this will need subtle quotations and resemblence to the symbols, not
just concatenating and rotating a few of them.  If someone's up to it -
well, then show us what you can do!

Still, I like James initial idea of a scripted logo.  But in the
meantime, this looks like a good alternative to me.
Isn't there an engraver application which has some inkpot-and-feather
logo? Something along this line.

That looks quite "busy" to my taste.  My latest 5-minute hack is
something like this:

\markup {
  \column {
  \line {
  \italic \concat {
  \concat {
   \huge \bold \lower #.5 L
   \large ily

 \fontsize #5
   \rotate #270
   \translate-scaled #'(-4.2 . 2)
   \line
   { \musicglyph #"flags.u7" }
  }
}


hmm... now that I look at it again, the flag.u7 is really questionable.

Wow, I like it!  Is there any way to get the "greyed-out" staff in
lilypond directly?

There's two things that I'm not completely sold on.  The half-note
"d" seems a bit weird, and I think the initial "L" could be
spruced up somehow -- it feels a bit "blocky".  Either a more
cursive font, or using some weird mensural glyph for the "L" ?

Anyway, that's definitely the kind of thing I was hoping that
people would create!

Cheers,
- Graham

I think you should be listed in both places; I certainly don't
think you should removed from the Documentation list.  If somebody
has worked in multiples areas, they should be listed in all
relevant areas.

(this is reflected in a comment at the top of the authors file,
but unless you look at the source you wouldn't see it)

Significant commits include:
  Fix 715 page numbers on a bookpart
  Instanciable scheme engravers
  Chord repetition

I think the last two could be considered fairly major
contributions, but it's up to you.

Well, it's certainly my hope to do both, once the insanity of replacing
a CFO just before the year-end audit subsides! Later in the Spring,
perhaps.

I vote for keeping Nicolas as a member of the Current development team.

For clarity, the "authors" list is a reflection of what you have
done so far, not what you hope to be doing in the future.  On the
basis of your work during the 2.12-to-2.14 period, I think you
should be listed in both Documentation and Bug squad.

Once 2.14 is out, we move all contributor names into "past
contributor", and start the list again.

Cheers,
- Graham

Huh, that's a good one, kudos!

I personally think the p is just a bit too large; IMHO it should fit to
the same x-height as the neighbor letters.
In smaller size, I also think that the blackness of L and p is extremely
dominant in contrast to the other letters, but this is just from scaling
of the PNG.  Maybe a "real" markup implementation in Lily would perform
better due to the scaled fonts.
And I'm not too sure about the "Music typesetting for everyone".  It's
nicely integrated, and looks very good in a large image.  But if the
logo goes into the tagline, IMHO it should also look acceptable in a
size where the staff lines are at about the same distance as for the
default music staves.  The "subscript tagline" has certainly less than
1.5 mm height then, and if it's removed, the lower serif of the L gets a
bit too dominant for my taste, too.  So I suppose we'd need this in two
versions, for smaller and larger logos.


Cheers,
Alexander

Mike,



I've added you (and others - going back to end of 2009). I'll submit a patch 
shortly to Graham who will then push it - I don't have git push access.
