French problems
Here is my problem :
I am a programmer.
I am an organist too. Not to play concert : I only play on sunday during the
office, in a catholic church. It means I have about a thousand scores on
paper, which take a lot of place. But during rehearsals, I need two things :
- about twenty different scores ; the majority of them were foreseen, some
were not.
- on demand, the ability to transpose up or down some of the canticles,
because our choir has limited capacities ... And me too : I prefer to play
transposed scores instead of transposing in real time.
So I am dreaming of a tablet-PC containing all the canticles I have, with all
the scores in PDF, and very few manipulation to generate transposed scored.
I think such a system would address a market in christian musician, all over
the world. here is a site that offers such a system :
http://www.freehandsystems.com/
Is Lilypond part of this system ? Is it possible de create a GNU version of
this system ?
I have another problem : the french chords ... I modified a little the file
"chord-name.scm" (see annexed file) to print the french chord names, but it
is not perfect. One problem, for example, appear with chords like "fa4",
translated into "Fa 4es/is" (approximately). I did this way because I didn't
manage to create a file french-chords.scm from the german-chords.scm.
With this modification, I began to rewrite a psalter (see the file
"psaume121.jpg" in annex). And there appeared some problems :
- on the first line of the verse, the time signature is wrong : I was unable
to make it disappear
- on the second, third, and fourth line of the verses, unable to align all
the verses to the left
- some syllable of the verse should be in bold font
- I can't reduce the space between two lines of lyrics (to make the verses
occupy less space) ; nor the space between the anthem and the verse
- I can't write the carachters "left quote" nor "right quote"
Can you do something for me ?
By the way, do you know anyone in France (near Maubeuge / Valenciennes /
Lille) that is using Lilypond, specially for christian use ?
Again, congratulations for your program, and thank you in advance for your
answer.

Slight spanner problem
I'm not quite sure how to describe this: if it's not clear, please let
me know.
I have a score that has a lot of words spanning bar lines; but the
person I'm doing it for doesn't want any words outside the confines of
the bars, so I've set up the Lyrics context like so:
\context {
\LyricsContext \consists "Bar_engraver"
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
}
and the elements are grouped like so:
<<
Staff
Lyrics
Staff
Lyrics
>>
No problems with the words; they're within the bar lines (even though
the bar lines aren't visible). But if a line of music ends with a tie
and the word it ends on has an extender spanner, then the extender juts
out a bit beyond the (invisible) bar line.
Also, when I'm compiling the source, I get:
"programming error: round filled box vertical extent smaller than blot;
decreasing blot"
The spanner problem is extremely slight; but I wondered if there was
perhaps some other way to keep the words inside the bar lines.
Thanks,
Doug

Profile missing
I am running Suse 9.0 and I installed a binary version of lilypond using Yast. The automatic install didn't produce a bash profile or the buildscripts/out/lilypond-profile. Where should I look for either of these files or work around the problem? Thanks. Ken Kupisz ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi, I tried this before, but \TabStaffContext is not defined, that's
where my lilypond hacking non-skills leave me :(

Re: RemoveEmptyStaffContext and TabStaff
You need to include something like
\context {
\TabStaffContext
\remove "Axis_group_engraver"
\consistsend "Hara_kiri_engraver"
\override Beam #'auto-knee-gap = #'()
}
BTW, the same problem arises with drum staves.

RemoveEmptyStaffContext and TabStaff
Hi,
I have some tablature scores that looks like this:
\context StaffGroup = staffI<<
\context Staff<<
% Hide fingering number
\override Staff.Fingering #'transparent = ##t
\set Staff.instrument = "Guitar 9"
\set Staff.instr = "Gtr9"
\guitarI
>>
\context TabStaff<<
\override Staff.Stem #'direction = #1
\set TabStaff.stringTunings = #'(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -20 -25)
\guitarI
>>
>>
in other words, they have both the normal staff and the tabstaff.
I want to hide empty staves, so I tried:
\paper {
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
}
But this only removes empty Staff objects, not empty TabStaff, is it normal,
and is there a way to do it otherwise ?
Thanks

Re: Lilypond and MIDI
If you are using Macintosh OS X, Jaguar or later, try "Mighty Midi"-
versiontracker.com should have it.
It's a bit buggy on Panther, but it gives you lots of control and does
read the tempo.

Are you using the tag "\midi { \tempo 4 = $FOO }"???
if you set that $FOO to a specific tempo (e.g. 100) you should get
correct
midi output.
I am but it doesn't work, at least when the MIDI file is played from
QuickTime.
From what I've understood, it is a bug in lilypond.

Thus, I was wondering if it has been corrected in later versions.

This does not work in my example (see below), could you tell me where
I made the mistake?

Repeats with partials and alternatives
I think that there seems to be a problem with the way the repeats and alternatives are handled In the page http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Repeat-syntax.html#Repeat%20syntax (documentation for repeat syntax) the last example seems strange. The second alternative follows on from the end of the first, rather than from the end of the common part of the repeat. The bar checks just mirror this behaviour. ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
