I have originally worked on a ptab->musicxml converter as well! And took me some effort to get the powertab format as well! The parser (and a simple dumper) can be found at http://www.geocities.com/kiwlm/ http://www.geocities.com/kiwlm/libptab-0.1.20040225.tar.gz I have yet to see your source codes yet, but will soon. My source codes mainly abstracted out the MFC serializing stuffs into another "library" so we just need to mimic the structures (or classes) that's used in powertab.

What are the "rules" for repeats?
I've been coding a program to convert BMW bagpipe music files into lilypond format. I've followed repeat examples and am have not been using \repeat for repeated sections that do not have alternative endings. What is the "approved" format for using repeats?

I've been putting it in the

section, and it seems to work there.
I will supply a more complete score if you can't get it working.
Good luck!

PowerTab to Lilypond conversion utility
Hi, For those interested: I've been working on a utility that can parse PowerTab files (generated by the PowerTab editor for Windows, details at http://www.power-tab.net/). PowerTab is proprietary and doesn't run on anything but Windows, but most of the tablature files on the internet are stored in .ptb. Figuring out the file format took me quite a bit of time and a couple of sleepless nights, but it's done now and appears to work for all the PowerTab files I can get. :-) I'm now working on a utility that can convert a powertab file to a Lilypond file. Basic conversion works, but there are still a lot of things to figure out. More details can be found at : http://jelmer.vernstok.nl/oss/ptabtools/ Cheers, Jelmer -- Jelmer Vernooij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - http://jelmer.vernstok.nl/ OSS Contributions in the last 2 days: samba: 60 %, ptabtools 40% ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

What, exactly, does this error mean? It means there's a small bug somewhere. Or at least, that there's something that the programmers didn't think about. I'd be happy to add this to the bug database, could you please send in an example ly file (the smaller the better), which gives this warning?

Re: What did I messed out?
Hi, After figuring that dvi viewers need the path to the fonts, I managed to solve viewing the notes correctly on lilytool's jdvi by changing the jdviProp file found in the jedit marco directory. Edited the line with jdvi.font.path. The only problem I have now is the point and click feature. Clicking the note head is supposed the jump to the source file but it seems it does not jump back to the source directory. For example my ly file is at c:\Programs\cygwin\home\Joshua\test.ly but when I click on the note, it jumps to the file C:\\cygwin\home\Joshua\test.ly Cant figure where to configure the path to the correct directory. I'm not using the cvs version of j-dvi. Has the cvs version fix it? Joshua ps: Bert, I still not on your mailing list. Please add me if its possible. Thx >Hi > >Below is my error log.

Re: Lilypond-book No Noteheads
Hi Mr. Fulk, I think I have an idea what you may have done wrong. This is what you write: lilypond-book --output=out\ filename.tex cd out latex filename dvips -Ppdf -u +filename filename ps2pdf filename.ps In the fourth line, you shouldn't write dvips -Ppdf -u +filename filename but dvips -Ppdf -u +lilypond filename It would be very likely that everything works as it should! Regards, Thorkil At 15:51 5-6-04, you wrote: Hey everyone, I had played with Lilypond a bit a few months ago (before work and kids demanded too much time). Now that it is summer, I want to create a manuscript for an English as a second language textbook (with American folksongs). So I decided to try Lilypond-book. Lilypond works great and prints music beautifully. However, every time I try to do something in Lilypond-book, there are never any noteheads, clefs, key sigs, etc. in the finial PDF file --- only staff, bar and note lines. My system setup is Mac OS X.3.4. I installed Lilypond 2.2 via Fink a few months ago. I wrote the file in TeXShop, switched to Terminal and typed: lilypond-book --output=out\ filename.tex cd out latex filename dvips -Ppdf -u +filename filename ps2pdf filename.ps If anyone has any ideas what is going on here, I would be very grateful.

But I still get a bunch of error messages saying 'adding notes to incompatible stem (type=2) Don't you want polyphonic voices instead?' And also 'Can't have rests and note heads together on a stem', which makes sense, because at those places the rests are printed over the notes, instead of lowered under them. Should I do this by hand? And also 'Can not add text scripts to individual note heads', but that is something I'll worry about later, when first the notes are at the right places... >>> Well ok, I'll keep meddling and see what comes out... >> >> Good luck!
