Seems like you prefer other ways, but I make a last attempt.

Modify /usr/bin/ly2dvi:
latex_cmd = 'elatex'% instead of latex
%\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}  % commented out

then use ly2dvi -P on the following:

\version 1.6.6

\header {
  title = Title
  language = hebrew,english
}

\score {
  \addlyrics
\notes {
  \clef bass
  \key d \major
  \time 3/4
  d4. a8 g4
}
\context Lyrics \lyrics {
  Tamm, \\R{ta} damm
}
\paper {
  papersize = a4
  indent = 0.0\cm
  }
}

I can not test it, since I have no hebrew fonts installed.
Give it a try, and let me know what happens.

Almost, maybe.  Schott has used this |\ instead of /\ that.
To me it looks better than the Y.  Gardner Read in inventing
this notation did not consider that there might be many other
notes in the chord, but the engravers at Schott did.

A zero tuplet bracket is a far better idea.  It really adheres
better to music engraving tradition, which did not use tools
which draw lines at angles other than vertically or horizontally
from a point.  Other angles were ruled between points, but
protractors weren't used AFAIK.

A zero tuplet bracket also can be used whether or not separate
voices are being noted, to clarify passages where chords sprawl
horizontally because of seconds, unisons, dotted notes and accidentals.

bug?

2003-06-30 Thread David Bobroff
I have a fresh build of Lily 1.7.23 (ChangeLog 1.1044) and the following
produces strange results.  In the first and third measures the font is
neither \large nor \italic.  This syntax worked before.  Oddly enough,
it works in measure two.

Re[5]: Soon 1.8 release?

2003-06-30 Thread Jeremy

 GP What version are you using?  I just tested it on a CVS version from 1.7.20,
 GP and it worked.  The grace notes appear at the beginning of the next bar,
 GP instead of at the end of their proper bar, but it _does_ compile.
 
 On the current stable version, it did not compile. But from what
 you're telling me, the result in 1.7.20 isn't much better anyway. I'm
 going crazy about not being able to put graces at the end of bars,
 because I'm copying a lot of 18th century music, where it is sooo very
 recurrent, that it's a pain in my round one.

HWN Do you have some scans for me? I've never seen graces at the end of
HWN bars, save for the graces following a trill.

HWN Getting grace notes right in various combinations is a lot of work, so
HWN I don't really want to add \aftergrace as well, unless it is really
HWN necessary.

Here (do you mind if this is a facsimile?):
   * http://tinyurl.com/dzmu/duphly.jpg

The bass is a typical Alberti type bass, very common at the period
(18th century), which coincides with the apparitions and growing
popularity of the piano-forte. Using two graces after white, is a
very, very common effect.

Of course, that is not the only use of graces at the end of a
measure, but it is most accessible one, as I had the scans on my hard
drive.



Two other cases were graces are problematic are in the two excerpts
below:
   * http://tinyurl.com/dzmu/duphly2.jpg
 In this one, I have a hard time believing the long unmeasured end
 phrase would look good in Lilypond at all.

   * http://tinyurl.com/dzmu/duphly3.jpg
 It is simply impossible to reproduce the second bass measure, in
 the bass part, without using a dirty hack with font size changes.

As of ChangLog 1.1045 the problem with \markup texts has been fixed (as
well as some other things that went wrong) but the \mark letters appear
to be a couple of sizes smaller than they were before.

The example in boxed-molecule.ly does not use the new macro (at least in
1.7.22).

I'd be interested in examples of how to use that macro.  Especially to
see if I can wire it into markup.  I'd like to draw boxes around parts
of a text markup.

 Note that there is a predefined Scheme macro available

I agree.  As you pointed out, the Y works only for two-note chords.

 A zero tuplet bracket is a far better idea.

It would be cleaner than a split stem.  Is there a good way to implement it
in LilyPond?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Indeed.  These examples are extremely common and are essential for
