Re: Syntax Highlighting / lilypond.words.vim
I apparently need to find lilypond.words.vim for the operation to be complete. Where can I get it? It should be distributed with LilyPond. You don't say which package you installed so we can't help more; recent Debian packages put it into /usr/share/doc/lilypond. Tell at least a version number so that somebody can send one to you. -- Feri.

Re: dvipdfm results in no note stems
I think you have described the problem and the solution quite well already. Dvipdfm will not work on any LilyPond generated file since it doesn't understand the embedded postscript code used for slurs, and several other objects in the output. You can and should use ps2pdf (or Acrobat Distiller if you have it at hand) to create PDF files. This is what is described in the manual (we have recently added it also in the Tutorial for the development version, see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.1/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Integrating-text-and-music.html#Integrating%20text%20and%20music ). /Mats [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I am just stating to use lilypond on a Debian Sarge system.

Problem with MIDI generation with 2.1.18
[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
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}
}
Can you send me a example that I can try for myself?
- 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.
fixed.

re: vanishing slur ? note with two stems ?
Please excuse my ignorance: I am still at the very beginning with Lilypond. Perhaps
someone can help with these two questions:
1. How can you produce a note with two stems, one running up and the other running
down obviuosly?. \stemBoth does not seem to do the job. I have looked through the
manuals and I have been unable to find the solution. I guess it must be fairly easy.
2. The following code produce the desired slur (see enclosed file
visible-slur.pdf) between the d in the first bar and the chord in the second.
\include paper23.ly
\paper {
linewidth = 455.244096\pt
}
\version 2.0.1
\score {
\notes
\new Staff {
\time 3/4
\clef bass
\relative c {
% a2( d4)
\simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\( } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4 \stemDown
d_5 }}
\stemUp d' g, 4\)_2 \stemDown g8_1( f! e d)
}
}
\paper { }
}
However, if I un-comment the line %a2( d4) just below \relative c, thus introducing a
new bar at the beginning, the slur disappears (see enclosed file vanishing-slur.pdf)
and the log file says:
Interpreting music..
/cygdrive/g/Lilypond/question.ly:24:19: warning: can't find start of phrasing slur:

\simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\
( } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4 \stemDown d_5 }}
Can anybody give me an explanation ?. I have found that the work around is to
include the last two bars in the same piece of simutaneous code:
\simultaneous { { s4 \phrasingSlurUp d2\( \stemUp d4\) s2 } \\ { \stemBoth g,4 r4
\stemDown d_5 \stemUp g4_2 \stemDown
\slurUp \once \property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment = #'(head . head) g'8_1( f! e
d)} }
but I would like to understand why it is happening.
3. I would also be very grateful for a short tutorial on how to control slurs,
specially
tweaking with offsets at the tips.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If you want two simultaneous notes with stems ponting i opposite
directions, you have to put them into separate Voices (as is done
by the ... \\ ... construct). This can be used also to solve
your problem if you have the same note in both voices.
Example: g4 \\ g
2. The following code produce the desired slur (see enclosed file

\slurUp \once \property Voice.Slur \set #'attachment = #'(head . head) g'8_1( f! e d)} }
but I would like to understand why it is happening.
Again, it's a matter of Voice contexts. Since a slur belongs to a
particular voice in the music, both ends of the slur have to appear
in the same Voice context in LilyPond.
However, I have some comments on your example:
- It seems to me that the slur from d2 to d should not be a slur but a
tie (i.e. the note is tied over). In that case, you should notate it
like that: d2 ~ d4 .
- Doesn't the g at the first beat of the second bar musically belong
to the same voice as the d in the first bar? In that case, I would
keep it in that Voice context and notate it stem down.
- Once you let the Voice contexts reflect the musical structure, I'm
sure you can get rid of almost all the \stemUp \stemDown \stemBoth
directives, since LilyPond knows lots about standard typesetting
practice and will mostly do the right thing.
This is a general idea of LilyPond, that the input should primarily
reflect the music itself, not how it's notated.
I changed your example into
\relative c {
g4 { d'2 ~ | d4 } \\ { r4 d,_5 | g }
g'8_1( f! e ) d |
}
which makes more sense to me, musically, and lets LilyPond do the
typesetting decisions.
3. I would also be very grateful for a short tutorial on how to control slurs, specially
tweaking with offsets at the tips.
Again, LilyPond often makes a good decision. I suggest that you come
back to the list with specific examples where you think the default
is wrong. This could help improve future versions of LilyPond even more.
