Positioning of absolute dynamics

2004-05-01 Thread Benjamin Esham
I am using lilypond 2.1.37, and am trying to typeset some absolute 
dynamic
markings so that they are not strictly below the note in question, but 
off to the
left (and therefore above where they would normally be).  I looked in 
the
manual, but couldn't seem to find anything.  How is it possible to do 
this?
Thanks!

missing files

2004-05-01 Thread Anna and Ken
Lily pond looks so wonderful, I wish it would all be there.

I have installed it following the instructions precisely three times, and when I run 
the test.ly I get 5 copies of a missing cygwin1 dll file.  I downloaded and installed 
this file to windows, and then I got 5 copies of a missing cygguile-12 dll file.  I 
cannot find this file to download it, but at this point I suspect there will be others.

In the instructions, it says to send the test log file from the test ly folder.  The 
test ly download is a text document, not a folder.

This may help: I cannot download the documentation.  Is it not yet in the mirror?

thanks.

Piano

2004-05-01 Thread Yuval Harel
Hi,

I've just started using LilyPond, and got into some trouble trying to 
insert dynamics to a piano piece.

Right now I'm attaching the dynamics to the right-hand staff and using 
DynamicLineSpanner to set them apart from the staff, to a position where 
they are more or less aligned. Like so:

\new Staff {
\override DynamicLineSpanner #'staff-padding = 4

\RightHand
\Dynamics

}
Then I wanted to add a meno f, following the tip in the documentation 
(dynamic-extra.ly):
	\markup { \italic meno \dynamic f }
but that doesn't get aligned with the dynamics. I couldn't find anything 
to do that in the documentation except \raise, which I couldn't get to 
work.

How do I align the meno f with the rest of the dynamics?

Thanks,
Yuval

Little Problems

2004-05-01 Thread Stefan Krieger
Hello there,

I'm using Lilypond ver. 2.2.0 under Windows XP. After a few problems at
installing I am now working with Lilypond and it works well.

But I have some little problems:

1) In the created pdf-file is always a little 1 in the upper right
corner of the page. How can I prevent this???

2) In the text (lyrics) is a ΓΌ. In the pdf-file it is printed
correctly, but at the compiling comes always a warning, that the program
can't find the ascii 252 character. Is this a problem or can I ignore
the warning???

3) In the lyrics is a word Haff with a double f. With the standard
font and many other fonts, in the pdf-file occurs a symbol for the
double ff. It seems, that Lilypond reads the ff as a hexcode for an
ascii-character. But why???

4) I want to create a midi-file parallel to the paper-print. Therefor I
need to unfold the repeat. Can I hide the unfolded repeated part in any
way???

5) Can I get another music instrument for the midi output then the grand
piano (with Staff.midiInstrument = acoustic guitar for example)???

Perhaps you can help me with some questions, especially with the first
one?

I would like to thank you for your effort.

Best wishes,

Stefan Krieger (from Germany)


P.S.: Lilypond is really a great program and I am amazed again and
again, how complexe, varied and efficient the program is!!!

problems when installing Lilypond on windows

2004-05-01 Thread Ulrich Vollert
Hello,

I tried to install Lilypond on my Windows XP and followed the
installation procedure on 

http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html#installing

When I double-clicked on test.ly a cygwin bash window opened shortly
but nothing more happened ???

I copied test.ly from the desktop to my 

/cygwin/home/ulrich

and tried the command

lily-wins test.ly

This produced the attached log-file which says that a file named
feta20.afm (a font-file?) is missing

Could you give me an hint to correct my errors?



Thank you very much in advance,

regards,

Ulrich
