tweaking voicefollower lines
Did this get through before? I sent it a couple of days ago. How would you go about tweaking voice follower lines? I want them to be not as attached to the noteheads (eg shorter). I tried something like this; \override VoiceFollower #'extra-offset = #'( -1 . 0) which made it look better, but is there a better property for determining the length of the line? It looks like it ought to be the #'Y-extent-callback which requires a procedure and I haven't a clue what to do.

Text markup locations and background
I wanted to put a small piece of text ("ten") right beneath a note. However, I needed
the text to appear over the staff, but \translate seems to stop as soon as the text
begins to cover the staff. Is there any way to do this?
Also, is there any way to set the background filling of text, so that the text has a
solid white background instead of transparent?
Thanks so much!

Mac OS X current unstable?
Frist I'd like to thank you for this great software, I haven´t used it yet, but I already had troubles triying to make fine looking music sheet in Sibelius, (and I hate the mouse secuences). The music I've download from your site (and from the Mutopia project) it really looks like the old & beautiful hand-maded scores. It really comes out the difference. Yesterday and today I was reading all your site and you really convinced me. Now I'm anxious to start making music with LilyPond and even contribute to Mutopia Project. But I have only one question, why al the Mac OSX versions says currente unstable? What does it means?, and Why only the Mac Version?; can I run it without problems. Best Regards, and Congratulations on your really great job. Javier Dardón ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: clef after bar
Hi Mats,
Thanks for the trick!
Sorry for my late reaction, but I overlooked it completely and discovered
your reply only yesterday.
The property you showed works better than the little trick Erik told about,
since his trick resulted in a rather large empty space between the bar and
the clef, and the official way you showed doesn't. But in the end, isn't
the official way (almost) always the best?
Thanks for always being of such great help, I appreciate it very much!
Kind regards,
Thorkil

The order can be customized simply by settting a property,
there's no need to mess up the rhythm with short skips:

(instrument-name left-edge ambitus
breathing-sign

)
c4 c c c | \once \override Staff.Clef #'non-default = ##t \clef "alto" c
c c c |
}
}
As you can see, the list gets very long since the settings are
different at line ends, line starts and in the middle of the line.
If you just want to do the setting once using \once in a score, you
can save some lines by using the trick in input/regression/ambitus.ly.

Hi everyone!
At a certain point in a composition, I try to make a new clef appear after
the barline instead of before, without a positive result.
Is it possible in Lily to achieve this? I searched the docs, but couldn't
find an answer.
The easiest way is probably to cheat, by inserting a very short skip
before the clef. Instead of
c4 c c c | \clef "alto" c c c c |
do
c4 c c c | \skip 16 \clef "alto" c4*3/4 c4 c c |

Re: Using Lilypond
Also, how is it decided which versions are ported to Windows? Being the packager for Windows, I usually try to build the new versions as soon as they come out. But there are often problems that have to be solved. For example in the recent 2.2.x versions I could not build the documentation yet, for some Texinfo problems. In the 2.3.x series there is some segmentation fault which I couldn't find out yet. For development versions I usually don't feel urgent to solve the problems, (so I tried to build 2.3.x only one time). And, development versions will never be uploaded to cygwin mirrors, but will be made downloadable from my homepage, if I am able to build them.

I don't use Windows and I'm not a LilyPond developer, but my guess is that there's a big dartboard at LilyPond Central... ;-) The stable versions (2.2.x for the moment) are ported to Windows as quickly as the responsible person has time to do it.

Re: Using Lilypond
As in my previous answer, I urge you to always specify clearly what operating system you use and what LilyPond version you have installed. From your last line, I guess you use Windows (which actually is a minority on this mailing list). J L wrote: Hi, Can someone tell me how to call the scripts?

I would in particular like to know how to operate 'midi2ly' and 'convert-ly'. As Stefaan said, it's just to go to the corresponding sections of the manual. Just two details that are maybe not obvious for a first time user with Windows background: - The working directory when you start your Cygwin command window is C:\cygwin\home\\, so this is the directory you should copy the files to before you run the commands. - The normal way to call convert-ly is convert-ly -e myfile.ly which will update the file myfile.ly and make a backup of the original version in myfile.ly~ /Mats Also, how is it decided which versions are ported to Windows?

Re: Lilypond 2.2 installs but software doesn't launch
Please read http://lilypond.org/web/download/windows.html to get started. Are you sure that the third file was called .lytxt? If it was called .lytex, then you can't use the double-click feature of ordinary .ly files but have to do something like the following: - Copy the files to the directory C:/cygwin/home// - Click on the Cygwin window to get a Cygwin command prompt. - Run the following commands: lilypond-book .lytex latex .tex dvips -Ppdf -u+lilypond .dvi which should give you a .pdf file with the score. However, since LilyPond is still under heavy development, there's a large risk that your .ly files don't match the LilyPond version that you installed. In that case, you may first have to run the command convert-ly -e *.ly which (hopefully) will update all the syntax to your version. I know this seems like a big mess if you just want to see a single score, but there have been lots of emails on the list from people who after a week or so of LilyPond usage claim that it not only produces nicer typography than most other programs but that it also is faster to enter music this way. Good luck! /Mats Tom Duda wrote: Hello Because I don't see that Lilypond 2.3 has been ported to Windows, I downloaded and installed 2.2. When I launch lilypond-bin.exe, I see an empty Command Prompt for a few seconds and then it closes. My OS is Win XP Media Center with all critical updates installed. My CPU is Pentium IV 2.6 gHz with 512 megs RAM and 30+ gigs free space on the partition in which Lilypond resides. pagefile.sys is 1.6 gigs. When I ran setup.exe, I left all packages at "Default" except for the folder that contains Lilypond.

What is most frustrating is that I have just one music score, apparently consisting of three files, that I want to see. For some reason, the person who made the score available did not save it in PostScript format. I have two files with a .ly extension and one with .lytxt extension.
