Note spacing
Hello to everybody. I am using Lilypond 1.5.64, and I need to change the average distance between consecutive notes in a score. The score I am typesetting takes 45 pages (!), but Lily places often only 2 or 3 widely spaced bars per line. I would like to force Lily to shrink a bit the whole thing to get 4 or 5 bars per line. Thanks a lot Maurizio ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
two bugs (?)
hi, using lily-1.5.63. 1.) i get following warnings while using paper11.ly and printing tuplets warning: couldn't find any font satisfying (#f italic medium roman -1) 2.) i also get this error message, and i think this one is breaking my midi-output files (it seems like note-offs aren't being inserted into some of the voices). Interpreting music...warning: FIXME: key change merge warning: FIXME: key change merge warning: FIXME: key change merge warning: FIXME: key change merge warning: FIXME: key change merge MIDI output to `fullscore.midi'... greetings, simon. -- Confucius say, man who live in glass house shower in basement. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Flat dymbol in title

How do I insert a flat symbol in a title, for example,
how do I write Symphony in E \flat as a title
or Alto Horn in E \flat as an instrument name?
Try:
\header{
instrument=instruments in B\fetachar\fetaflat
}
\score{
\notes\relative c'' { c }
}

you need to have latex installed. run cygwin-setup and select the latex packages... hth, simon.

Trying to compile 1.5.63 under Debian
I have tried to compile 1.5.63 under Debian Woody without success. ./configure complains that it can't find python.h and suggests that python-devel, or python-dev or libpython-dev should be installed. python-dev is installed and I have Python.h sitting in /usr/include/python2.1/ (it belongs to python2.1-dev which was installed since it is required by python-dev). Should I create a simlink to Python.h named python.h somewhere? ./configure also warns not to use guile ./configure --with-threads. Is guile ./configured --without-threads available as a binary package or should I compile it myself?

Re: lilypond-mode in Emacs on Windows
Sorry that it has taken me so long to respond to your helpful comments. I have been working on it, and cearing out a virus... - Original Message - From: Jan Nieuwenhuizen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Peter Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2002 11:58 PM Subject: Re: lilypond-mode in Emacs on Windows Peter Dixon [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have been running Lilypond under Linux for 2 years quite successfully and am now wanting to move to Windows. There are 2 reasons: Sure, whatever gets you going. However, - our Linux machine is silent (no sound card), and we are making increasing use of MIDI output. a simple soundcard can be quite cheap (~$20). I would really rather not have sound on that machine because of what it is used for and where it is. - although I have learnt a great deal about music and typesetting through using Lilypond I feel that the Linux-phobic musicians would be more effective if they did it rather than telling me what to do. you loose me here. Could you rephrase that? Sorry - I am finding this sentence confusing too now :-( I set the system up on Linux and enjoy using it but I feel that the musicians on our network would get on better if they used LilyPond instead of passing the scripts to me. Unfortunately they are not willing to learn Linux. I have installed Lilypond 1.4.14.jcn3-1 onto Cygwin 1.3.10-1, and GNU emacs 21.2 on Windows XP. I chose to install emacs directly onto Windows. LilyPond and Emacs are both working successfully and lilypond-mode is syntax-colouring the .ly files. Ok. Now, that's quite interesting. From our 'lily-on-windows' documentation page: [TODO: * emacs-mode installation, figure out and describe proper emacs-on-cygwin setup. In other words, this has never been done, or at least, no-one has made a comment or written documentation about this before. Installing Emacs directly for Windows seems the only way, currently. However, XFree 4.2 has just been ported to Cygwin, it could be interesting to watch what happens there, wrt Emacs. My problem comes when I press the 2PS command: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly 'ly2dvi' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. That's what you would expect. Ly2dvi is a Python script. Windows is (afaik) not able to run scripts that need interpreters directly, other than .BAT and .CMD or possibly other Microsoft script products (that can be executed directly through email messages :-) What you can try is to make a wrapper .BAT script, like so: ly2dvi-dos.bat: REM Duh. Let's hope no more than 9 arguments are used. REM Hope I'm not showing my ignorance here. python /usr/bin/lyd2vi %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 and put that in your path. You could also try to edit or override the LilyPond-command-alist in lilypond-mode.el, like so: (defcustom LilyPond-command-alist `( ;; Lily probably works, as it's an .exe (LilyPond . (lilypond %s . TeX)) ;; Tex also (TeX . (tex '\\nonstopmode\\input %t' . View)) ;; Windows can't handle 3rd party interpeters, call them explicitely ;;(2Dvi . (ly2dvi %s . View)) ;;(2PS . (ly2dvi -P %s . View)) (2Dvi . (python /usr/bin/ly2dvi %s . View)) (2PS . (python /usr/bin/ly2dvi -P %s . View)) all of this untested, of course. I tried this but it looks as if cmdproxy.exe cannot run python. I get the message: The NTVDM CPU has encountered an illegal instruction CS:0f2d IP:210f OP:6369666965 2PS exited abnormally with code 1 at Fri Jun 28 18:38:02 -- I tried changing the emacs variable 'shell-file-name' from c:/emacs/bin/CMDproxy.exe to c:/cygwin/bin/sh/exe and then got: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly ly2dvi: not found 2PS exited abnormally with code 127 at Fri Jun 28 18:42:33 That's interesting, but won't that break other usage of shell commands? Yes...I have tried setting shell-file-name as a buffer-local-variable in lilypond-mode-hook, but of course the buffer is *2ps*, not the .ly buffer. I then started emacs from cygwin using /cygdrive/c/emacs/bin/runemacs. After changing shell-file-name as above I got: cd c:/cygwin/home/Peter/ ly2dvi -P c:/cygwin/home/Peter/praedulium-fuga-E.ly Hmm. That's strange. Running LilyPond...

I've searched http://lilypond.org/ and http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ for hints on configuring emacs without success. What should I do? I'm not sure. Probably experiment some
