Re: Lyric Verse Naming
Thank you for the replies on my Lyric Verse Naming problem. As a new Lily user what should I do now. Should I submit this condition, formally, as a potential bug, or is it sufficient for it to have been raised within this list. Can someone please advise me on the most useful action I can take.

Q on Lilybook - mixing notes and text
The Cantata I'm working on has narration interspersed in the music, something like 'system1, narration1, system2-7, narration2, system8-15' , etc. Can Lilybook handle this, or do I need to break up the music manually? If yes, pointers to examples will be extremely appreciated. (Otherwise I'm about to start hacking the score apart ...

fantastic!
lilypondfile[noquote]{xxx.ly}
did the trick and I can get indention if I want. In this particular
project, I want a bit.
Why not do away with quote/noquote altogether and just indent the first
line or the lines after according to whether or not \property
Staff.instrument and Staff.instr are set? If they are set = "" , then
there would be whitespace for anyone who wanted it. If they are not
set at all then no shortening except the first line indention, and if
indent is set to zero then none of that either. That way there doesn't
need to be any worrying about what the default should be, and dummies
like me don't have to try to understand what this has to do with
quoting anything. :-)
BTW is Staff.instrument going to be Staff.Instrument?

1.7.13 - 'Rehearsal size' font for \markup?
SuSE 8.0, Lilypond 1.7.13 ...
When I want a 'normal' rehearsal mark, I use \mark "xyz" ... works well.
When I want 2 or more marks stacked (eg: segno, rehearsal number) ...
per recent suggestion I use
\mark \markup { \column < { \huge "31" } { \musicglyph #"scripts- segno"
} > }
How do I request the 'rehearsal mark - sized' font? I've tried huge,
huge/bold, etc. (If it's not easy, no great rush - but nothing is quite
the same as the full rehearsal ).
TIA

Mixing notehead sizes in a 'chord'?
In the piece I'm working - SATB + Piano - the Tenors have 'alternate'
notes which are designated by a reduced notehead size. Since IMHO these
are 'one voice', ideally these alternates could be represented (Lily
1.7.13) as
<>4.-( <>8-)
However, trying this I find that all noteheads in a chord become the
same size.
A second variant would be to create 2 voices ... (which should also
allow separate slurs/ties for each pair - also needed, but probably a
separate question)
< {c4.-( e8-) } \\ { \stemUp \slurUp \tiny a4.-( c8-) } >
This seem to work some of the time, but occasionally the stems get out
of alignment. More accurately, the alignment of the tiny & normal
noteheads is on the 'front' of the grob which, when stems are up, causes
the tiny and the normal stems to both be visible. (Making stems
transparent results in a gap between the tiny notehead & the 'master'
stem, therefore not acceptable.)
Related questions:
1) Any hope of getting mixed notehead sizes in a chord sometime?
1a) If it's there now, how do I do this? (What did I overlook?)
--- or ---
2) How can I use 'stem-based' notehead alignment or nudge the tiny notes
to line up with the stems of the normal font?
Advice, corrections, pointers to appropriate doc, etc. appreciated.

German Chords broken?
Hello,
in lilypond-1.6.8 german-chords seem to be broken, see e.g.
http://www.lilypond.org/stable/input/test/out-www/test.html
It works correctly when I copy the following lines from
german-chords-init.ly to chord-name.scm
#(define german-Bb #f)
#(define (pitch->chord-name-text-banter pitch)
... etc
#(define (pitch->note-name-text-banter pitch)
... etc
It seems like these commands are ignored, when I use
\include{german-chords-init.ly} or including them directly into my .ly file.
Thanks for any help,

OK, I have to confess I do something far-fetched to get to this
situation, in the middle of the song it works, but at the beginning,
after my drum header (the measure explaining the mappings) it needs an
extra empty measure. This could be caused by me putting my drum support
in a separate .ly file that I include, and defining the drum header
measure as a sort of macro.
I have attached the two files I use, this should give you a clearer
example of the problem, delbosh-drums.ly is the main file and drums.ly
is the included file.
The fea comments in it are in french, I apologize, but they should not
be relevant, and I tried to keep it clear, the fault line of empty
measure is at line 25 in delbosh-drums.ly

Maybe they don't have to walk in rythm in Russian weddings ?
Maybe it's a danced march ?
For me this 17/8 piece sounded great when composed on the guitar until I
had to play drums over it and realized the time signature melted my
brains.

If you use the stable version and want the centered rest given by R instead of the left adjusted one given by r, you could attach the text to a spacing rest in a parallel line of music: I don't understand what you do with the empty bars, in 17/8, you should get a two measure rest using R8*34 or R8*17 R8*17, I just tried it myself.

That looks more like the symbol used to separate systems. Do you have a scan of the symbol in action? It's not listed in Kurt Stone, and Heussenstam gives a handwriting example, that is more vertically sloped and thinner, like two penlines. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You could attach all of them to a bunch of skip notes. I'm not sure how you get them to print then, though. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.cs.uu.nl/~hanwen ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thanks, this also gets rid of the silly indentation of the first line
at the *right* margin, whice is certainly a bug.

Yes, please.

I don't see what "quote" is good for. If nobody can explain that,
maybe it should be removed altogether.

Lilypond and mac os X
Hello ! I'm new to Lilypond and all the GNU stuff. I've installed with fink lilypond on a mac with OS 10.2.4 ; on an other hand, i try to use texshop ot itexmac to produce nice pdf file with Latex ; but the trouble is that it is not possible to write lilypond code inside texshop (lilypond-book seems not to work, or i do something wrong...) ; It would be nice to have help from somebody (simple enough if possible, my beginnings with X11 and al. are puzzling !) Thanks for any reply, and sorry for the uncertain (but I hope understandable) English of this mail. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
How to have an extra measure at the beginning of a score
Hi, I'm writing drum scores and it's traditional that we put an extra measure at the beginnning to indicate what all the notes point to in terms of percussion elements. This measure should be unnumbered and alone on its line. I have not found any way to force a line break, or to separate it from the rest of the score, so it's always measure number 1 and the rest of the score starts at 2, is there a way to do this ? Thanks a lot for any help. -- # Stef Epardaud, # Teachers have potentially more power than military, # Java Defeater # the former can teach us how to not need the latter. # Earth # Lunatech Research, # Solar System # soon we'll quit researching and start finding... ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I would rather keep it, but in lilypond-book the first line of music is
indented twice and all the other lines indented once. Since I don't
plan to put the instrument name before any of the lines because it is
obvious from context what the instrument is, how can I get the music
lines to have the same left margin and indention as the text lines?
Use the noquote option to get rid of the extra indentation:
\begin[noquote]{lilypond} ... \end{lilypond}
This question has popped up a number of times since Werner Lemberg
improved the TeX code output from Lilypond. At least when using
lilypond-book together with LaTeX documents, I have never seen any
example where I didn't want the noquote option.
How about changing lilypond-book and making noquote the default?
Of course, it's always a problem to make incompatible changes, but
that's more or less what we did at the time when the noquote option was
introduced. Comments?
