Centering text spanners under a note

2002-10-30 Thread Maurizio Tomasi 
I am typesetting an old edition of Mozart quartets, and sometimes
dynamics appear in parentheses.  I manage to write these with

---
\score {
  \context Staff {
\notes \relative c' {
  c1_#'(columns (large () (dynamic p) (large )))
}
  }
}
---

but the (p) string is not rightly centered above the note (it is a
bit at the right because of the parentheses).  I tried with the
edge-text of the Text Spanner grob, but without success (brackets
are not shown at all):

---
\score {
  \context Staff {
\notes \relative c' {
  \once \property Voice.TextSpanner
\override #'edge-text = #'(( . ))
  f4_#'(dynamic p)
}
  }
}
---

What could be the best possible solution?

Many thanks
  Maurizio.

Re: common rests between two voices in one staff

2002-10-30 Thread Klaus Zimmermann 
Hi,

first of all thanks for the quick answers!
However after reading the fine manual I found
a far simpler solution to the problem which might
be interesting to those who helped me(and others)
as well:

simply set the #'maximum-rest-count property of the staff.

e.g.(typical SATB piece without accompaniment) in the paper section:
\score {
...
  \paper
\translator {
  \StaffContext
  RestCollision \override #'maximum-rest-count = #1
}
  }
}


Bad enough with the next piece I ran into the next problem:
to anyone with experience with that maximum-rest-count thingie:
doesn't that affect multimeasure rests? how can I make it to?


tia Klaus

That's because it's not a text spanner - it's a text script. You could 
use the
extra-offset property to fiddle the horizontal position - the following 
produces
an approximately centered (p) for me:

\score {
 \context Staff {
   \notes \relative c' {
   \property Voice.TextScript \override #'extra-offset = #'(-0.7 . 0)
   c1_#'(columns (large () (dynamic p) (large )))
   }
 }
}

To create a text spanner see Expressive marks-Text spanners in the manual.

Re: PS failure with 1.6.6

2002-10-30 Thread Carter Brey 
 Hi,

Yes, I did a make install, and music-drawing-routines.ps appears not 
only in /usr/local/share/lilypond/tex but also in 
/usr/local/share/lilypond/ps. I ran texhash just to be on the safe side 
(which actually I never did with previous version installs, and never 
had problems) but still get the same error message.

As with other version installs, I placed lilypond-profile in my $PATH 
and sourced it to set the tree.

Could it possibly be my version of xdvi? It's 22.58.

You say that you compiled the program yourself but you didn't

should be placed below share/lilypond/tex/, where teTeX will find
it unless you've fiddled a lot with your texmf.cnf or forgot to 
run texhash after the installation.

Hello--

Having just downloaded and compiled the 1.6.6 sourcecode, I ran ly2dvi 
-P on an .ly sourcefile without error messages and got a surprise when I 
tried to view the results with xdvi. It loaded with this error message: 
Cannot find PostScript file for inclusion in document: 
music-drawing-routines.ps

The .ps file produced by the same ly2dvi run loaded perfectly with gv. 
The same thing happens with all my .ly sourcefiles. Is there a 
diagnostic I can run to track down the problem? This did not happen with 
1.6.5, and I was careful to run the font cleaning script after installation.

Thank you, my friends.

Carter
