Thanks David. Yes putting the <> around the note worked. I discovered that
this afternoon and was planning on writing to the list to report this. It
would be very handy if this could be accomplished by just specifying that
the numbers should go there by the fingeringOrientations statement. Having
to specify the <> brackets for each note is a bit cumbersome. Thanks for
your response.

midi output faster on browser than on computer
Hello all, For some reason, when I play the midi file on a browser, either IE or Netscape, the tempo is much faster than when I play exactly the same midi file on my computer. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance. cheers, Ting Gan _ On the road to retirement?

Have you seen midge? It uses a text based format to build midi files. It was easy to convert a midi file created with lilypond to midge format with the tool supplied, and it's open source. The syntax is very different, but possibly you could use it and/or its documentation in your project. daveA -- Paying more at the gas pump?

You need to finger the note as the contents of a one-note chord. If you
put <> around the note and fingering it will work, I hope. if not, then
have the number within the brackets, since it does not go to the default
position, and the letter outside. If that doesn't work, try making the
note a chord with a unison that overwrites itself and finger each of the
notes. That last should not work, but might. daveA

Re: Lillypond/Cygwin installation troubles
Hey again, and sorry for the slow reply. Went on vacation just before I
got the mail.
I checked setup.exe and the tetex-bin package was installed.
This is what running the two commands you gave me:
$ cygcheck kpsewhich
Found: c:\cygwin\bin\kpsewhich.exe
Found: d:\texmf\miktex\bin\kpsewhich.exe
Found: d:\Programmer\TeXLive\bin\win32\kpsewhich.exe

$ printenv TEXMF

Hope this helps...

This problem has appeared a couple of times on the mailing list

- rerun setup.exe and make sure that the package tetex-bin is
selected (it should be by default, but seems to fail occasionally).
- If the tetex-bin package is installed and you still get the same
problem, open the cygwin command window, run the commands:
cygcheck kpsewhich
printenv TEXMF
and send the results back to the mailing list.

A very nice Winduhs freeware package (with optional feature packages you can purchase) is Anvil Studio. Some might call it crippleware since for the full feature benefits you have to shell out a few bucks (most in the $20 USD range), but I have used it for five years without needing to pay for any of the extras. Before that I used WinSong, which is older than my kids; when it was new the developer was active on Compuserve and responded quickly and enthusiastically to user requests. Then some other software company bought him out and shelved the program, which is a shame because for $75 it had more useful features than the high-end programs. BTW, I'm working on a midi-to-lilypond converter since I can't get midi2ly to work correctly. Unfortunately my grasp of both C and MIDI file format is pretty elementary, and I can only work on it in my spare time which means about 5 lines of code a week. This may take a while... --- Peter B.

Re: Adjusting slur lines?
OK, then you could try the next property in the list:
\override Slur #'attachment-offset = #'((0 . -.5) 0 . -.5)
If you do:
\relative c'''{a8 b c d \acciaccatura {\slurUp f8} e a ...
it turns out that you can skip the setting of attachment
as well!
Finally, I recommend you to use a proper declaration of the
LilyPond version instead of just the comment:
\version "2.2.2"
\score {
...
}
which will be very useful when you upgrade LilyPond to a
newer version (just use convert-ly -e myfile.ly then).

Did you look trough the list of available properties at

(it is linked from the section on slurs in the reference manual)?
I haven't tried, but the y-free property looks promising.

Re: Finale for Linux?
Greetings: In a few words: Nothing is happening in that direction (Finale to Linux). Whatever anyone thinks is happening can be easily checked with a quick message to Coda. I just received a brief message from Joerg Anders confirming that he is discontinuing his own development of NoteEdit, but he encourages other programmers to pick up where he left off. This is a bit of a puzzle, because I don't think there's been much community development in NoteEdit (though I may be wrong). I can understand that Joerg may want to move on to other things. However, a supposed Linux port of Finale is not an especially valid reason (note that the links on the NoteEdit page say nothing in the realm of the definite). I'll believe there's such a port when Coda releases one. Until then it's all smoke...
