creating objects
Hi, and happy new year for everyone ! I'm trying to traslate to a global score pieces of viol music written by Marin MARAIS. The thing is that I ahve to use markups that don't exist in lily2.2.5.

lyrics in polyphony
I am writing a song in lead-sheet format. I have an introduction that is polyphonic (manual 2.16). The last measure of the introduction has a pickup into the melody proper. I can't get a lyric on that pick-up. In single-staff polyphony, how can you treat the top line as melody with lyric and the bottom as accompaniment?

The third score correctly combines the first two (although the split
lyrics are typeset one line too low). But that trick only works once
for a part -- the next assignment to 1 would put yet another line of
lyrics under the same split note, rather than the next one. Can notes
and text be associated closer somehow to avoid this?
\new Lyrics creates a new lyrics context (ie. a fresh and
independent line of lyrics); what you want is putting more
words into the *same* context (line) you already created.
Yes, apparently I need to, but I can't figure out how to do it! Do you
know a way to put alternative lyrics into the same context, so that in
the example both `shall' and `shall not' are aligned with the second
note?
Since 2 is a short lived voice context, I'm not sure if it
will just work. As a side note, I found it more natural not
to use the implicit voice creation syntax, but explicitly
name contexts (and possible keep them alive) by the other
method illustrated in the referred article.

Re: lyrics in polyphony
Please send a (small) example of what you tried. Also, don't forget to tell what version of LilyPond you use, otherwise you might get an answer that's not fully relevant to you. Take a look at the the example for Vocal ensembles to see how to set the lyrics to one of several lines of music in a single staff. I hope you have read the full section on Vocal Music in the manual. It should answer your questions. /Mats Charles Gran wrote: I am writing a song in lead-sheet format. I have an introduction that is polyphonic (manual 2.16).

The { ... \\ ... \\ ... } construct creates voices
implicitly with names 1, 2 etc. (Follow the link at the
bottom of the page through 5.4.1!) I don't know how
\addlyrics would behave in such a situation, but \lyricsto
surely can help. Make the pickup a separate voice by
creating it explicitly via \context Voice = pickup or
similar, then attach lyrics to it via \lyricsto.

That's trivial. If you give a name to a context, it is uniquely
identified by its name, so you can do
\context Lyrics = mainlyrics \lyricsto melody { we o- ver- come }
\context Lyrics =mainlyrics \lyricsto 1 { shall not }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto 2 { shall }
However, a simpler solution is to avoid to keep the original
Voice context for the upper music line when the music splits
into two voices. This is easiest done by not using the
{...} \\ {...} feature (untested):
\score{
\context Voice = melody {
\relative c' { c
{\voiceOne c8 e} \context Voice = splitpart {\voiceTwo c4}
\oneVoice c4 c | c
}
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody { we shall not o- ver- come }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto splitpart { shall }
}

Oh I *see*! I wasn't aware that you can simply switch contexts while
remaining on the current staff. Thank you very much, that was exactly
what I needed.
Sorry to be picky, but that's what you did in your previous attempt.
In the solution I proposed above, the point is that you don't switch
context for the upper line and only create an extra one for the lower
line. (Just trying to help you grasp the concepts).

Hello.
I had a file with the following:
-
\version 2.2.0
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\include all.inc.ly
\score {
\staves
\paper {
orientation = landscape
linewidth=27.0\cm
}
}
-
which produced the expected landscape-oriented sheet.
I used convert-ly-snapshot (Debian, package from
http://www.pedrokroeger.net/lilypond/) that converted
it into:
-
\version 2.4.0
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\include all.inc.ly
\score {
\staves
\layout {
orientation = landscape
linewidth=27.0\cm
}
}
-
Now, the paper is in portrait orientation, (with, of course,
the systems falling off the pages).
Looking into the manual, I saw there isn't an orientation
property anymore. [Then, shouldn't convert-ly do something
about that?]
I tried
-
\version 2.4.0
#(set-global-staff-size 16)
\include all.inc.ly
\score {
\staves
\layout {
hsize=29.7\cm
vsize=21.0\cm
linewidth=27.0\cm
}
}
-
But it didn't change anything.
[By the way, \layout is not referenced in the unified index.
Where is the explanation of this instruction?]
I then moved hsize and vsize to a global \paper section.
To no avail.
The only thing that works is
#(set-default-paper-size a4 'landscape)
at the top of the file.
Well, more or less, because the general layout isn't very pleasing:
there is one system per page (normal because there are 8 staves per
system) but the on the first page, the system is stacked at the bottom
of the page while on the others it is stacked at the top (I'd like it
to be centered on the page).
I tried several combination of raggedbottom and raggedlastbottom
(in the \layout or in the \paper section) but I don't seem to find
the right one.
Isn't all this a bit misleading, or am I missing some important
clue about page layout?
Thanks,
Gilles

Beams across repeat signs
According to the regression tests, LilyPond does not typeset beams across manual repeat signs. That is true. However, it does place beams across repeat-voltas, if the repeat sign is mid-bar. Is there a way to avoid that without using manual beaming? I use LilyPond 2.2.4.

Lyricsto skips notes with melisma's in 2.2 ?
The following is a snippet from a song I want to enter in Lilypond

However the notes within are skipped due to a melisma? (I think
it's the melisma that gets me in trouble)
the My should fall on the ges8 \melisma (f8) \melismaEnd \\ es4
but instead that part is skipped...
The snippet should be possible to run through lilypond if you need to
see what happens...
Is there anyone who knows what's going wrong exactly and how this can be
solved?
