Syntax Highlighting / lilypond.words.vim
I spend most of my time editing in vi, so I cut and pasted Heikki Junes' lilypond.vim file into /syntax and inserted the appropriate text into filetype.vim, but now I apparently need to find lilypond.words.vim for the operation to be complete. Where can I get it? ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Syntax Highlighting / lilypond.words.vim
Hi Lyle, I also use vim (gvim) for lilypond editing. I am looking for others to who use vim to create some sort of group to work on an extented vim mode for lilypond. I made a lilypond ftplugin for vim but it is now out of date and needs much debugging. If you are interested or anyone else let me know. also The lilypond vim files that are missing I found by searching google and downloading them from the cvs. Aaron ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Please always specify a subject on your emails. In these days when there are lot of spam and virus emails, it was just about to delete your email withour reading it. Also, always tell what operating system you use (and what distribution if it is a Linux systems) and how you installed LilyPond (from source code or from some package).

Surely not that elegant... Note that the lilypond program will work anyway, since it internally does the same settings as are done in lilypond-profile. What will not work if you have not sourced lilypond-profile is - xdvi (your solution may solve that depending on what you changed in texmf.cnf) - latex-book followed by latex and dvips (your solution does not solve these issues if you just set the font paths). Regarding /etc/profile.d/, I know that Debian don't want packages to set environment variables to avoid that several packages use the same variable name. Their solution is to install all the necessary LilyPond files in the original texmf/ directory of teTeX. On RedHat, the following lines in /etc/profile, make sure that the files in /etc/profile.d/ are sourced at startup. for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do if [ -r $i ]; then . $i fi done If you have the lilypond-profile.sh file in /etc/profile.d/ but it isn't read for some reason, just add the line . /etc/profile.d/lilypond-profile.sh in your personal ~/.profile That's much better than fiddling with the texmf.cnf file. /Mats ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: lilypond-user faq, documentation, and small issues
(Please use a setting in your email program to break the lines at
regular intervals. When I edit the reply to your email, each of your

I'm new to this group, and while I've found the archives, I haven't found a faq for this group. Does one exist?
There have been long the discussions on the mailing list on the need for
a FAQ. In the end it boils down to that someone has to be responsible
and keep it up to date (which is a challenging task since LilyPond still
keeps evolving at a high rate). Also, the ambition is rather to improve
the problem and the ordinary documentation when a FAQ appears.
I've waded through lilypond's documentation, mostly skimming, and one area I haven't found that I would personally find most useful is a straight listing of all properties. e.g., a \header block has fields for piece, copyright, title, subtitle, subsubtitle, opus, poet, head, pagenumber, composer I don't imagine that's exhaustive, but I can't find an exhaustive list. (item 6.1.1 in lilypond's documentation comes close) Staves have their own list of properties I'd like to know more about, e.g. instr, instrument. Have I missed a resource or read too fast?
The list of \header fields is documented in
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Invoking-lilypond.html#Invoking%20lilypond
For all other properties, you can find complete lists in the on-line
manual if you click on Program reference. Lists for each kind of
context are found under Translation - Contexts and lists for each
kind of graphical object under Backend - All layout objects:.
However, the easiest way to navigate to such a list is often to follow
the links under See also at the bottom of the page in the user manual.
Also, one great source of information and examples is the Tips and
Tricks document as well as the Regression test document on
lilypond.org.
My more immediate problems concern rehearsal marks and large scores with separate parts printing. Is there a way to set or define rehearsal marks so they can be easily included with a \notes block? I'm not enjoying editting every \notes block to place rehearsal marks on every part and I'd like a way to guarantee that the rehearsal marks are in exactly the same location for every part. :/
Have you found http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ yet? Here you will find
lots of larger examples of using LilyPond (in the advanced search page
you can specify examples that match your own LilyPond version).
There are also a couple of examples in your own LilyPond installation,
typically in /usr/share/doc/lilypond/*/input/mutopia/.
In many of these examples, you'll find something like
global = \notes{ \skip 1*13 \mark A \skip 1*25 \mark B \bar || }
which can be used both in a full score and in a separate part using
\score{ % Full score
\new StaffGroup
\new Staff \global \flute
\new Staff {\oboe}
...
}
\score{ % Oboe part
\new Staff \global \oboe
}
Also, if the rehearsal mark appears at the begining of a staff it prints over and behind the clef directly on top of the measure number (easy-to-miss and hard-to-read) rather than above the key signature (standard for sheet music I've played). How can I move it?
You can find some recent discussions on this topic on the mailing list
archives. I'm not sure what the best solution is for the moment.

dvipdfm - debian sarge - first install
Hi, I just installed lilypond and find it awesome. I am putting small snippets of melody in a latex doc and have had no troubles. I get a great .dvi and .ps file using 'lilypond-book --outdir=/tmp file.tex cd /tmp latex file.latex dvips file.dvi However, if I try to 'dvipdfm file.dvi' I get errors and see no stems on the notes. I see error messages like this: Unrecognized special ignored Current input buffer is --lyscale1.405839 0.0650 0.0650 2. 1.2250 0.11... -- and there are as many as there are notes. ps2pdf does work. Is this a font issue or a dvipdfm issue? Thanks for any help. Yours, Sterling ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
dvipdfm results in no note stems
Hi, I am just stating to use lilypond on a Debian Sarge system. Fresh install of lilypond in the past few days. I have been inserting small sections on music in LaTeX files and using 'lilypond-book --outdir=/tmp file.tex cd /tmp latex file.latex dvips -Ppdf -u +lilypond.map file.dvi dvipdfm file.dvi'. On the last command, I get errors like: Unrecognized special ignored Current input buffer is --lyscale1.405839 0.0650 0.0650 3. 0.2250 0.11... -- one of these for each note stem that is missing. There also seemed to be a processing error on an imbedded eps file in the same LaTeX doc but that was ignored as well. I do find that ps2pdf does work in making a pdf file. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. If this is a duplicate message, I apologize. I sent an earlier message before subscribing to the list and am not sure if it made it in or not. Great program! Sterling MacNay ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Problem with MIDI generation with 2.1.18
Hi !
I upgraded to cygwin 2.1.18 yesterday, and experienced two problems:
- \autochange does not seem to work as well as it used to be.
I guess I did something wrong. Here is my PianoStaff:
solo = \context PianoStaff = solo
\property Staff.midiInstrument=vibraphone
\context Staff=up {
\property Staff.midiInstrument=vibraphone
\context Voice=foo{
\notes { \time 4/4 \key b \minor }
\voiceOne
\HighSoloNotes
}
}
\context Staff=down {
\property Staff.midiInstrument=vibraphone
\notes { \time 4/4 \key b \minor }
\clef bass
\autochange \context Voice = bar {\LowSoloNotes}
}
- MIDI file generation crashes with a stack trace (the log is given below)
I tried to simplify a number of things, assuming that this might be due
to excessively complex data structure, but it did not help.
This raises a related question about Lilypond's internals:
when are variables expanded ? when I write:
a = \notes {a b c d e f }
b = \notes { \a \a \a }
are the a's in b expanded when declaring b, or when actually using b ?
Cheers,
Darius/.
