What problems do you have, can you post an error log?

abc2ly is used quite heavily, notably by Laura Conrad (see
http://laymusic.org).

As abc2ly is a python script, you may want to look at the latest
version in CVS


http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/lilypond/lilypond/scripts/abc2ly.py?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-python

some problems were fixed recently.

Greetings,

Hi Ferenc:
 Thank you, that's just what I needed.
 I've "successfully" imported some MIDI files into LY format, and I 
started using the excellent emacs LilyPond mode. Very cool. Not so much 
success with abc2ly and musedata2ly, and I haven't figured out how to 
activate the LP mode in vi.

 Back to the hack...

proper placing of chordnames re: alternative ending brackets

2004-06-30 Thread John Sellers
Newbee question:
I was doing a simple lead sheet with repeats and alternatives and had 
trouble with the chordnames being above the alternative ending brackets 
rather than between the brackets and the staff, which is the usual way 
of doing lead sheets.

I got some help which lead me to a solution to this problem posted in 
Feb., and after playing got part of it working:

\score {
 \notes <<
   \context ChordNames {
   \set chordChanges = ##t
   \harmonies
   }
   \context Staff = one \melody
   \set  verticalExtent = #' (-1 . 3.5)
   \set  minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-1 . 1)
 >>
 \paper{
% \translator {
%\StaffContext
%VoltaBracket \override #'padding   = #3  %pts
%}
The part that is flagged out is an exact quote from the solution 
posting, but the translator escape is not recognized by lilypond in my 
case.  What should I do to get the VoltaBracket padding modification to 
work?  Translators are completely beyond my newbee experience.

Making a lilypond-book -- IT WORKS...sort of

2004-06-30 Thread Will Oram
As is typical with me, I misread the instructions for lilypond-book 
--process. After some toying around, I got it to build at last.

There are some problems, however. One is that nothing in \header {} 
(found in header.ly) is printed in the final output. This is not a 
terrible problem; I can insert anything missing in TeX.

A more serious problem is that I can't seem to have multiple 
\lilypondfile's in one .tex file. This is my code:

\documentclass[a4paper]{opera}
 \begin{document}
 \title {Violin Concerto in D Major}
 \subtitle {Opus 35}
 \author {Peter Ilyitch Tchaikovsky}
 \date {\today}
 \maketitle
 \begin{center}
 {\huge{I. Allegro Moderato}} \\
 \end{center}
 \lilypondfile{mvmt1/mvmt1.ly}
 \begin{center}
 {\huge{III. Finale}} \\
 \end{center}
 \lilypondfile{mvmt3/mvmt3.ly}
 \end{document}
The resulting output is the title page, mvmt1 header, mvmt1, NO header 
at all, mvmt1 AGAIN. What's up?

Since no one else has attacked this problem, I figured I'd take a
whack at it. My results are appended to this message. Going to try it
for a few days & see how well it works. To use it, I tweaked my .emacs
file as follows:

(load-library "lilypond-init.el") ; already there
(load "/usr0/svoboda/sw/elisp/what-beat.el") ; this file
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (local-set-key "\C-cb" 'what-beat)))

Hence 'C-c b' displays the current beat in the minibuffer; displayed
as a ratio. i.e. if it shows 3/8, it means there are the equivalent of
3 eighth notes between the point and the last measure indicator (|).

Comments? Buggestions?

This is because the \newpage command just redefines what will happen

between two pieces, you can simply insert a LaTeX page breaking
command in the titling text:
  \header{ piece = "\\newpage Piece 2" }

Re: Two staves to one while dropping the bracket?

It seems it's not enough to add the Hara_kiri_engraver, you
have to copy also another line from the definition of
RemoveEmptyStaffContext in ly/engraver-init.ly
\score{

If you comment out the \remove ... line, LilyPond hangs just
as you described. Looks like a bug to me, even though we are
playing with the internal details of LilyPond here.

Hi Mats,
I have a related question.
I have a score where I wish to use the \RemoveEmptyStaffContext on one
staff of a staff group only. The reason for this is that I have a part
which is separate but only exists for a few bars in the entire piece,
and I don't want it to occupy a line on every page of the score.
However, all other parts I do, even if they only have bars rest.
I can't remember exactly what I tried, but I think it involved using the
new \with syntax to add the HaraKiri engraver, like:
\score {
\new StaffGroup {
\new Staff \SoloCornet
\new Staff \with { \consists "Hara_kiri_engraver"}
\TuttiCornet
}
}
..or something like that.
I could put together a simple example if nothing comes immediately to
mind
What happened is that lilypond just "hung".
Do you know if anybody has used this in this way?

Re: What properties should I set?

2004-06-30 Thread Mats Bengtsson

for example in the ChordNames context. In the doc I find the properties of
the engravers and I find the translator properties that are given a default
value. Is that all that should be set?
There are certainly a number of properties that are useful to
set but that are unset by default. However, it's a difficult
compromise to determine which ones to list or not. Compare for
example the Program Reference of version 2.0 and 2.2, where
2.0 listed every available property for every object but 2.2
only lists the once that are set by default and you have to
click on the respective *-interface to find the full list.
Another example: it is well-known that in a Staff context I can set the
midiInstrument property, but I can not find it out from the
internals-documentation. I look at dynamic_performer, I found it, and found
it also in Tunable-context-properties. But how can I figure out that setting
midiInstrument makes sense in (and only in?) a Staff context?
Please let me understand the structure.
As Han-Wen already answered, there's no good documentation of the
MIDI generation part of LilyPond. The best starting point for the
moment is to read ly/performer-init.ly.

Excellent! However, I have some comments:
- I hope you realize that such a document has to be actively maintained
  and updated when LilyPond is updated.
- What about the current Tips and Tricks document? It should answer the
  same needs. Does it contain too many too exotic tricks or is it just
  that some of the common ones are missing?
- Have you seen the last item at

Re: pull-off and hammer-on signs don't look good

2004-06-30 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Did you try to attach an example. In that case, it didn't make
it through to the mailing list as the list server filters away
attachments in an attempt to avoid spreading viruses.
It's a very good idea to include an example together with a
question, but in that case you can simply paste it into the
email.
Also, I recommend to upgrade to the version 2.2.x of LilyPond.
Even though it's not available in the default Debian distributions,
you can find dpkgs at http://lilypond.org/web/download/.

Hi list,
I'm using the debian lilypond (2.1.0-2) package. I made some tabs with
lilypond, which worked ok. I attached slurs to "notes" and i get
automatically a P for pull of and a H for hammer-on printed, but the P
and H are to big and collide with the slur and the "note". How can I
reduce the font-size of the P and the H? How can I get more space
between the slur and the note?
Sorry, I don't know enough about how the tablature typesetting is
done to answer these questions. You can probably change the
font-relative-size property of the TextScript output object.
For the slurs, there's a property attachment-offset that may
be useful.
Another "spacing-question": How can I put the repeating-brackets, for
play 1st time, play 2nd time, all on the same level? IMHO it does not
look good, if they are on different levels. This is also in the TabStaff
context.
For ordinary staves, the repeat brackets are printed on the same
height unless you have a note that sticks out too far above the
stave in one of the alternative endings. You may try to increase the
minimum-space property so that this default height is large enough:
\property TabStaff.VoltaBracket \override #'minimum-space = #7

Any help appreciated! Perhaps someone can point me to a good starting
point in the manual to study such questions.
The syntax for setting properties has changed from version 2.1.0 to
2.2.x, but I still recommend
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Changing-defaults.html#Changing%20defaults
from the manual of 2.2 to get an introduction to the ideas of
setting properties.

Re: fingering size

2004-06-30 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Always tell what LilyPond version you use when asking a question.
I will assume the latest stable version, 2.2.x.
At the end of the section on "Fingering instructions" in the on-line
version of the manual, you will find a link to "Fingering" which
shows a list of all the properties that are set by default.
Among others, you will find the property font-size that can be
set to an even lower number than -5 to get a smaller font:
\override Fingering #'font-size = #-6
Also, you can see that the fingerings are typeset using a special
font (number) so if you want thinner figures you may want to change
also the font-encoding property to text.
However, I'm a bit confused by your request since smaller figures
would be more or less unreadible, in my opinion. The default sizes,
shown at 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Fingering-instructions.html#Fingering%20instructions
for example, look fine to me.

It didn't really work out for me because MIDI was still
entirely generated, making proofhearing harder.  And setting
this property is generally more work than commenting out
some parts.  I couldn't switch it off from the very
beginning of the piece either...  But didn't even try too
hard, though commenting also has a drawback: %{ %} is not
nestable.  You just can't win all the time.  I still think
the skipTypesetting property would be useful if it could
consistently suppress typesetting of other parallel things,
too.  If I remember correctly, it fell short on lyrics.

Greetings and a question

2004-06-30 Thread Dave Phillips
Hello everyone:
 I'm currently writing a profile of LilyPond and am learning how to use 
it via the tutorial and other packaged documentation. I'm also testing 
the various input facilitators (NoteEdit, Denemo, emacs, vi, 
Rosegarden). Hopefully I'll be able to find answers here if/when I get 
snagged by difficulties, but so far things are going well. I'll be 
testing some of LilyPond's own input filters today.

 My question now is whether this list is appropriate for questions 
regarding Denemo. I've compiled the CVS sources with GTK2, but I'm 
receiving some errors I'd like to resolve and I've uncovered at least 
one fatal bug. I'm just not sure who gets the report...

 Anyway, LilyPond is great Linux software, my congratulations to all 
the developers for this excellent work.

Best regards,
Dave Phillips

Re: markup position

2004-06-30 Thread Mats Bengtsson
For the moment, there is no direct support to add an
arbitrary markup at an arbitrary pitch within a stave.
However, you can always use the extra-offset property
to move a markup to the desired position, even though it
may require some manual tweaking to find the correct
offset for each markup.

LEGRAND Jean-Marc wrote:
Hi all of you !
I just always have the same problem : I cannot place my markups at the right position. 
My markups
are either on the top or the bottom of the stave, and I can't find out how to put them

stave itself, just like fingering with \property \Voice.fingeringOrientations (left), 
for instance.
Any help, please !

Could you please rerun setup, or send a proper bug report using

There may be some tips in the archives of this list.

Re: About Staff.instrument

2004-06-30 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Since the text is not typeset with a fixed width font, the number of
characters that fit in will depend on the actual wording.
Anyway, you could try to increase the indentation of the first
score line to fit in a longer word:
\score{
...
\paper{
  indent = 3.0\cm
  ...
}
}
An alternative is to break it up into several lines. See for example
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/test/out-www/collated-files.html#coriolan-margin.ly

I think I've had that problem even with one-word names like

Installation, Windows95

2004-06-30 Thread C . J . Evans
Hi. I followed the instructions on the page:

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

Is there anything else that needs to be done? I ask this because most of the
downloaded files are of type .tar.bz2 Do they all need to be extracted (and
if so, do I use the default locations suggested by WinRAR) or has the setup
program already extracted the ones that are needed by lilypond?

I doubt that, because a file search fails to locate latex.exe or
pdflatex.exe When the archive in tetex-bin is extracted, there is a file
called latex.exe, but it (and a few other .exe files) contains zero bytes.
Does this indicate something wrong with the archive at the uk mirror site?

On double-clicking a .ly file a window opens but closes again before it is
possible to see if any error messages have been printed. No .pdf or .log
file are created.

I would be grateful for any tips,

Re: midi output osx

2004-06-30 Thread Sean Reed
hi daveA and Graham,
thanks for the tips. will oram has sent me a copy of mighty midi and 
specific instructions on getting timidity up and running.

also, is this a mac specific problem? is there a fix in the works?
IIRC, there was some discussion about whether tempo changes belonged 
in track 0,
or whether they should be placed in all tracks.
yeah, i'd read this too. i'll be looking forward to revisions there, so 
that reviewing my complicated notation by ear is a bit easier. until 
then the notation side is fantastic enough to comprise with a work 
around.

thanks again.
