proper placing of chordnames re: alternative ending brackets
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
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.

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.

Re: What properties should I set?
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.

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.

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.

Re: fingering size
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. /Mats LEGRAND Jean-Marc wrote: Bonjour tout le monde !

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 ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: markup position
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. /Mats 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 into the stave itself, just like fingering with \property \Voice.fingeringOrientations (left), for instance.

Re: Methods of working
I hope you have noticed the skipTypesetting property. See http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Skipping-corrected-music.html /Mats Pedro Kroger wrote: I forgot to mention that if you typeset long scores, it may be a good idea to use variables. I use variables for each section, like \sectiona \sectionb, etc. Them I can comment out the sections I don't want to compile right now. I also use variables for each instrument, so I can compile only specific instruments of a specific section. This is a great time saver while you are copying a piece.

Re: About Staff.instrument
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 /Mats Laura Conrad wrote: "Gilles" == Gilles <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Gilles> Is there a limit to the length of the "Staff.instrument" string?

Installation, Windows95
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, Colin J. Evans. ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: midi output osx
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. -sean -- Sean Reed Web: www.seanreed.de ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
