That's easy if you write the actual music in a separate .ly file
and only specify the \score in your LaTeX file. Something like,
\begin{lilypond}
\include{mypiece.ly}
\score{
\new Staff{\clef bass \mypiece}
}
\end{lilypond}
The main disadvantage is that lilypond-book will not realize that it has
to rerun lilypond if you make a change in the included .ly file, so you
might have to remove the generated lily-*.ly files to make sure that
everything is updated.

beamlets over spacers
Hello. First, I want to thank you for providing an alternative to pricey broken programs like Finale. I am using version 2.2.5. I am trying to write many groups of four 16th-notes some of which are separated by 16th-rest value spacers. When I force-beam the notes over any spacer, the double beam is continuous instead of single over the spacer. My current solution is massively wordy, requires replacing \s with \r and making the latter invisible, and must be applied to each group, of which I have hundreds including two-voice polyphony: a16 [\set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 r g] s a[ stemRightBeamCount = #1 g \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1 \set stemRightBeamCount = #1 r g] Do you have a better, more global solution?

Tabloid paper size - how I got it working
I was getting ready to write this list asking if anyone had had luck
generating tabloid (11x17) PS/PDFs from Lilypond, but in the process, I
figured out how to do it.
Since I'm not sure exactly what it was I did that made it work, and since
I have three versions of Ghostscript (7.07, 8.15, and 8.50) installed, not
sure which one Lilypond is using, I thought I'd post my experiences here
so they might be useful to someone who's trying to format tabloid scores
or to the developers.
I'm running Fedora Core 3, and have gotten two versions of Lilypond
successfully installed and working from RPMs: first, 2.4.2; currently,
2.5.3.
With both versions of Lilypond, I tried specifying the paper size
according to the documentation, which worked fine for letter and legal
sized paper, at both portrait (default) and landscape orientations:
#(set-default-paper-size letter 'landscape)
But while those sizes/orientations worked fine, specifying tabloid (with
or without the 'landscape option) generated an error something like this:
snip
Layout output to `strtrio-vln.ps'...
snip
Converting to `strtrio-vln.pdf'...Error invoking `ps2pdf
-sPAPERSIZE=tabloid strtrio-vln.ps /dev/null 21 '. Return value
65280
Although it looks like the PS file was generated, and the problem occured
in converting it to PDF, actually the PS file would appear to be somewhat
messed up - KGhostView would open it, but show a letter-size page with
(overflowing) tabloid music, while GGV wouldn't open it at all, saying
File is not a valid PostScript document.
The PDF, meanwhile, was not generated at all.
But then I typed info ghostscript (which says its based on version
7.07), and I came across the following information on paper sizes:
=== begin quote ===
To select a specific paper size, use the command line switch
-sPAPERSIZE=a_known_paper_size
for instance
-sPAPERSIZE=a4
or
-sPAPERSIZE=legal
At this time, the known paper sizes, defined in the initialization
file gs_statd.ps, are:

=== end quote ===
Note that there is no tabloid, only 11x17 (i.e. tabloid 'portrait)
and ledger (i.e. tabloid 'landscape). But I can't specify 11x17 or
ledger in Lilypond, because it doesn't recognize this.
So I tried searching for that gs_statd.ps mentioned in the above info
document, to see if maybe I could customize it. Doing:
find / -name gs_statd.ps
I found three copies, one corresponding to each version of ghostscript I
have installed (only the first, 7.07, from an RPM):
/usr/share/ghostscript/7.07/lib/gs_statd.ps
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.15/lib/gs_statd.ps
/usr/local/share/ghostscript/8.50/lib/gs_statd.ps
Editing each file in turn, I found a line (around line 41) like:
/11x17 {792 1224 //.setpagesize exec} bind def % 11x17 portrait
And later on, under STRICT..., one that was commented out (approx. line
109), like:
% /tabloid {792 1224 //.setpagesize exec} bind def % 11x17 portrait
So I removed the % from the tabloid line to enable that option.
Further down (line 124?) there was a list of /.pagetypenames, which
included /11x17 but not /tabloid. So I added /tabloid. Actually, I added
it to the same line as /11x17 (rather than after STRICT, which would
have been more consistent), but
Textcircled again

Re: Lyrics with slightly different rhythms
Responding to my own post, because I figured it out, and I hate it when
I search mail archives only to find a question sans answer:
Quoth Don Blaheta:
I'm having a hard time getting LilyPond to do just what I want here.
... I have a song whose rhythm varies slightly to accommodate the
lyrics in a second verse.
[... various failed attempts ...]
For my third attempt, I tried to play with the polyphony features, ...
when I go ahead and actually name the contexts, the layout becomes
tractable again, and the lyrics are in the right place, but we're back
to clashing notecolumns and simply overprinting the other parts.
The key thing I missed here was that I invoked the polyphony stuff using
and but I never called \voiceOne for the main melody and \voiceTwo
(for downward stems) or \voiceThree (for upward stems) for the
alternate. So something like
{ a2 b2 } \\ { a4 b4 b b }
will generate error messages and overprint; but
{ \voiceOne a2 b2 } \\ { \voiceThree a4 b4 b b }
will resolve the collisions appropriately. (See below for a more
complete example.)
Since I originally wanted the second part to have smaller note
heads anyway, I thought maybe I'd just A) make them smaller and B)
manually perturb the note heads. But while I can use \set fontSize to
solve the first problem, I haven't yet figured out what to poke to make
the note head and stem all move together. (I guess I could separately
add the same offset to NoteHead and Stem, but that seems unsatisfactory.)
This may still be a problem if you want e.g. an a4 and an a8 to print
separate noteheads, and the solution is to override the force-hshift of
the whole NoteColumn. A reduction of the whole solution, with alternate
rhythm, smaller notes, and offset noteheads, looks like this:
\context Voice = verse {
\voiceOne
c4 c8 c % etc... the normal music
}
\context Voice = altverse {
\set fontSize = #-3
\voiceTwo
s1 | s1 | ef4 ef2. | %only set the different notes, skip the rest
s4*3 \once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #1.1 f8 f8 |
%makes the first eighth note offset
}
Then you can use the associatedVerse trick described in the manual in
order to line lyrics up with the altverse notes instead.
Hope someone finds this helpful

Using lilypond-book
Today's questions are about using lilypond-book. I'm putting together a
pamphlet with various short pieces for a service; in typing in the
pieces, my metadata-happy self is putting in all the title, author,
and meter info, but I don't really want all that in there when it's
assembled into book form. In fact, I'd be happiest with *none* of it,
since I can put the info I want (and control the formatting, etc) in the
LaTeX directly.
Is there any way to turn off the header printing for all snippets?
Nothing like that seems to be among the options.
Is there a way to turn off header printing within the snippet file, when
it's included? I tried putting \paper { scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {} }
at the top (also bookTitle...), but that doesn't seem to affect
anything.
If there *is* something I can put at the top, can someone tell me what
I'm doing wrong in the following line to add such a line on the fly:
lilypond-book --filter 'myscript' svc.lytex
Even if I just put 'cat' in as the filter (which should just output what
was fed into it), I get the following error:
