You're right (as usual !). The issue is actually :

\version "2.0.1"
\score  {
  \notes {
\time 2/2
{
a'1
a1
a\breve*1/2
\time 3/4
a2.
a2.
\bar "|."
}
}
\paper {}
\header {}
}

without any \property Score.timing = ##f

Thanks a lot !

I'm not sure exactly how \once works in this context. I would
rather try to set and then reset the property explicitly:

\property Score.timing = ##f
a\breve
\bar "||"
\property Score.timing = ##t
\time 3/4

Another possibility is to fool LilyPond into thinking that the
a\breve only lasts for a bar by saying a\breve*1/2 The printout
will still be correct.

My mistake (was: Cymbal instead of bass drum)

2004-09-06 Thread R. D. Davis
Hi, please accept my apology for posting a message about something
that wasn't actually broken in Lilypond, which appears to be a
Timidity problem instead.  Anyway, that got me to install V 2.2.2 on
my FreeBSD box tonight, so all's not lost. :-) It looks like there are
many nice improvements in this version.  Thanks to all who've created
and worked on this software and to Patrick Atamaniuk for porting it to
FreeBSD!

Now to get the timidity problem straightened out... drums used to work
fine with an older version of Timidity... I know that the drums in the
midi file are ok, since I could hear them when using a sequencer on my
windoze 2000 pro box.

Re: Large time signatures

2004-09-06 Thread Kim Bastin
Well, I could give "scores" of examples, but I'm not sure what pieces
or editions you can conveniently consult. Anyway, here are a few from
one pile of music on my shelves:

Schoenberg: Klavierstück Op. 33a, Universal-Edition Nr. 9773
Schoenberg: Klavierstück Op. 33b, Belmont Music Publishers BEL 1003
Schoenberg: Sechs Stücke für Klavier zu vier Händen (1896). Belmont
Music Publishers BEL-1019
Schoenberg: Fünf Klavierstücke Op. 23, Wilhelm Hansen Edition nr. 2326
Schoenberg: Suite Op. 29, Universal Edition UE 8685
Schoenberg: Sechs Stücke für Männerchor. Bote & Bock, Berlin (a
different style to the above)

The time signatures in the above publications are several times the
size of the traditional "within-staff" type, and in piano music there
is only one to a system rather than one per staff. In chamber and
orchestral music there may be one or two time signatures per section
(woodwind, brass...), and some staves may have TSs of the traditional
size if they are not covered by one of the large ones.

Can this style be emulated in Lilypond?

Cymbal instead of bass drum

2004-09-06 Thread R. D. Davis
Hi, While trying a few things with 2.0.3 that worked with 1.8, I
discovered that, in the midi output, bassdrum or bd results in a
cymbal being played; the same thing for the acoustic bass drum.  Has
anyone else experienced this and found a workaround?  ...besides
upgrading to the latest stable version, that is, which I plan to do
eventually.

RE: LilyPond error: ps2pdf not found

2004-09-06 Thread P Scott Horne
Thanks for your help.  I succeeded in installing ghostscript and was able to
build a sample LilyPond file.

Unfortunately, now I am experiencing another problem.  I wish to update some
old LilyPond files that I prepared with version 1.6.8.  (They cannot even be
built as they stand because they violate the syntax of the latest version.)
I tried running

$ convert-ly -e -f=1.6.8 `find . -name '*.ly' -print`

and got the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 2199, in ?
from_version = str_to_tuple (a)
  File "/usr/bin/convert-ly", line 91, in str_to_tuple
return tuple (map (string.atoi, string.split (s,'.')))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.3/string.py", line 220, in atoi
return _int(s, base)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): =1

The same thing happened when I tried running  convert-ly  with a single
file.  I was, however, able to run it with no files (using such options
s  -s  and  -h),  so it does at least do something.

Any suggestions?  Does this look like a problem with  convert-ly  or a
defect in my  .ly  files? or perhaps another problem with installation?

Again, this is with Lilypond 2.2.5 for Windows.

I guess it's the same grace problem as usual. My lily cvs is broken right now; 
so I can't try this, but it should work:

Change

to
\alternative { {\grace s8 s4*4 } {\grace s8 s4*4} }

currently the grace notes sometimes count as starting before the beginning of 
the measure, that's why you have to do this.

couple of questions

2004-09-06 Thread Philip Nelson
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hey all, I'm fairly new to lilypond, but I've got a couple of small problems. 
I've attached my .ly files so it's easier to describe them.

In bar 69, where there's a trill on an E, I would like to have the "arco" 
markup below, but then it gets written on top of the 'p' dynamic marking. I 
would also like the natural sign, which at the moment is above the other 
markings, to be beside the trill marking, to indicate to trill on an f 
natural. Is this possible?

Then, on bar 72, I would like to a slur which starts on the e in 72 and 
encompasses both the d sharp and e grace notes (ending on the e), but I can't 
figure out how to do this.

Help much appreciated

Thanks a lot,
Philip Nelson

Hello Dave,

I agree that a [lilypond] designator would be nice.  However, you should
be able to get Mozilla or Thunderbird to filter messages.  My filter
says "if To or CC contains lilypond, move to local folder . . . "

dozen mail-lists, all of which include list identifiers, all except

is scattered through literally hundreds of messages per day, it would be

 If LP list traffic were thinner I'd have no complaint, but it is a

Re: problems upgrading input files from lilypond 1.6.6

2004-09-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
It seems that the situations where convert-ly fails on your input
files is
- Where you put the slur end on another line than the following note:
 ef4.( )
 f!8
  If instead you had written
 ef4.(
 ) f!8
   convert-ly would correctly have produced
 ef4.(
 f!8 )
   As you can see, slur endings as well as all other kind of
  annotations are now put after the note they refer to.
- Where you use the old text markup commands, like
  ^#'(columns((music "scripts-trill"))) or
  ^#'(columns((music "accidentals--1")))
  (by the way, I don't understand why you used columns here)
  You can read more about the new markup commands at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Text-markup.html
  The two examples above can be replaced by
  ^\markup{ \musicglyph scripts-trill }
  and
  ^\markup{ \flat }
  respectively.
See also 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/topdocs/out-www/NEWS.html

The syntax seems to have changed a great deal in a single year, which

occasional users like me.  There isn't much documentation on how to
upgrade input files, either (but I'm not complaining -- I appreciate
all the energy that is going into the project).  The result is that
I'm a bit lost, and I'd be very grateful for any pointers on what
particular kinds of changes I should be looking for.
The input files in question (in their 1.6.6 version) are viewable

They are quite short.

Re: Making a children's piano music book with LilyPond

Antti Kaihola wrote:
Hi all LilyPond users and developers,
I have a small music publishing company which has recently published its
first piano music book for children. The book has 65 elementary piano
pieces composed by a young Finnish composer-pianist. The pieces were
engraved using Sibelius.
We are now working on another set of pieces with three different
composers. We aim to publish the new book in December. There will be
about 40-50 small pieces (1-2 pages each).
I'm doing the new pieces with both Sibelius and LilyPond at the same
time, because I want to evaluate LilyPond's abilities and maturity for
print quality publishing.
So far my experience from LilyPond has been mostly positive, and its way
of thinking suits me very well.
I assume it would help developers and users if I post examples of
erroneus or incomplete output to the mailing list(s)? It would help to
see tricks and workaround from other users, and hopefully some of the
cases would lead to bugfixes or new features.
Great!
In the best case we would be able to use LilyPond's output for the
printed book, but in any case I'd be happy to do my part to help
LilyPond mature towards that goal.
Which list should I post my examples to?
Use bug-lilypond for errors, lilypond-user for questions and general
examples and lilypond-devel for feature requests and issues specific
to the development version.

example. You probably want to round the note durations to something
that looks reasonable on paper, so try something like
midi2ly --duration-quant=16
or
midi2ly --duration-quant=32
or
midi2ly --duration-quant=16 --allow-tuplet=8*2/3
depending on what kind of music you have.

Greetings,  

When using midi2ly for the first time, I noticed some things about the
syntax that I didn't understand.  Here are a few lines, for example:
trackBchannelA = \notes\relative c {
  
  % [SEQUENCE_TRACK_NAME] Track 1
  s4*3403/960 ais4*883/960 s4*358/960 gis4*474/960 s4*133/960 dis4*348/960

What is the * for?  Also, what are the numbers which are separated by
a '/'?

Making a children's piano music book with LilyPond

2004-09-06 Thread Antti Kaihola
Hi all LilyPond users and developers,


I have a small music publishing company which has recently published its
first piano music book for children. The book has 65 elementary piano
pieces composed by a young Finnish composer-pianist. The pieces were
engraved using Sibelius.

We are now working on another set of pieces with three different
composers. We aim to publish the new book in December. There will be
about 40-50 small pieces (1-2 pages each).

I'm doing the new pieces with both Sibelius and LilyPond at the same
time, because I want to evaluate LilyPond's abilities and maturity for
print quality publishing.

So far my experience from LilyPond has been mostly positive, and its way
of thinking suits me very well.

I assume it would help developers and users if I post examples of
erroneus or incomplete output to the mailing list(s)? It would help to
see tricks and workaround from other users, and hopefully some of the
cases would lead to bugfixes or new features.

In the best case we would be able to use LilyPond's output for the
printed book, but in any case I'd be happy to do my part to help
LilyPond mature towards that goal.

Which list should I post my examples to?


My first problem with the current CVS version is that it won't produce
landscape A4 output like LilyPond 2.2. The same problem was reported[1]
on the lilypond-user mailing list in August. As soon as the problem is
resolved or a workaround found, I'll be able to use the CVS version, but
until then I must stick to 2.2.

Here's my \paper section which works perfectly in 2.2:

papernormal = \paper {
pagenumber = no
linewidth = 256 \mm
indent = 0 \mm
orientation = "landscape"
#(paper-set-staff-size 8)
}

Re: Sustain pedal improvement idea

2004-09-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
Is there any standard notation for this or do you only have
the MIDI output in mind?
   /Mats
R. D. Davis wrote:
Giving Lilypond's sustain pedal more thought, I was thinking about how
it's either up or down, while there's more variability with a piano's
sustain pedal; e.g., when the amount of sustain depends upon how far
one depresses the pedal.  Are there any plans to add a numeric value,
such allowing the user to specify a value between between 1 and 100 to
indicate how far the pedal is depressed when it's down?

Re: how do I move a boxed-molecule?

2004-09-06 Thread Mats Bengtsson
When you tried to set the padding property, what layout object did
you set it on? Since you want to move a rehearsal mark, you have to
set the property on the RehearsalMark object. Also, since the rehearsal
marks are typeset at the score level, you have to set the property
within the Score context (assuming you use version 2.2 or newer):
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #4
I'm surprised that you didn't find anything in the mailing list
archives, when I search for "padding rehearsal mark", I get a number
of hits, even though most show the syntax of version 2.0 or older.
Also, I hope you have read the section on "Changing defaults" in
the manual.

I am adding some rehearsal marks, boxed-molecules, but in one place it
is colliding with the number above a multi-measure rest. I have a
multi-measure rest at the beginning of a staff, and I want the rehearsal
mark at the beginning of the multi-measure rest. I tried to use\set
#'padding = #n
but just results in broken code. I couldn't find any answer in the
archives or on google.

Re: lily4jedit question

2004-09-06 Thread Bertalan Fodor
I don't use linux, but I think the problem may be that somehow .bashrc 
is not run from the shell that runs jEdit Console commands. Try running
lilypond -verbose %buffer
from the console (changing from System to LilyPond) to find out if some 
path is not set.
Perhaps you could run lilypond-profile before starting jEdit or from the 
jEdit Console.
