This is more of this problem. I said before the installation appeared correct. I get different errors, however, depending on whether I run Lilypond under or Win or Cygwin.

Please report this issues as: On fink 2.5.23 MacOS 10.3.9, dynamic marks are big ugly fonts. (we _really_ need to know what OS and package system you're using) I believe that this is a known issue; there's a lot of font stuff happening on fink/lilypond right now. Matthias, if this issue hasn't been fixed since 2.5.23, I can add to it. When I first install 2.5.23, it worked fine. After that point, I (foolishly) played with some font packages (installing more, rebuilding some old ones, etc). After that, lilypond stopped working. I tried rebuilding lily, but ./configure failed on pango/pango.h (present but unusable). I then removed every fink package that dealt with fonts, removed the .debs, and installed lilypond-devel again. This got lilypond working again, but dynamics and time signatures are in a big ugly font.

I appear to have a good installation of Cygwin and Lilypond in that all components appear to be there.

If one played b c b as a triplet, then this is what I would call an inverted mordent and I would use a mordent with a slash through it. Can I make this happen (2.5.23)?

Strange fonts
Title: Strange fonts Hi, I have installed Lily 2.4.5 from tarball onto a Gentoo system. However, all the output (including the doc examples) have only basic font rendering. The fonts have funny spacing and it looks like it isn't linking to decent fonts. Difficult to explain, really. Where could I start to track down what is going on? Lilypond 2.4.5 Tetex 2.0.2-r5 I have tried a *very* basic test in LaTeX-the typical "hello world" example, and that is OK. dvips reports that the test uses cmr10.

glissando/volta bug? and volta/fine
2.5.23 MacOS 10.3.9 Hi! I have some questions relating to the file enclosed below. 1) First, a possible bug: My glissando in the first measure dissappeared (but the gliss between measures 11/12 is present). I think it happened when I implemented the voltas (please correct my pluralization if I have it wrong). Lilypond is not giving errors, but that does not exclude poor implementation on my part. 2) I would like a fat, wavy gliss instead of the default, tiny gliss (I saw some notes about this and I haven't finished reading them, so I'm not at the end of my rope on this one yet). 3) I need to move a lot of my chords left an eighth note. That is, the correct pattern is largely 3/8, 5/8. I'm still trying to figure out how to implement this well (do I need to use--a plethora of--silent rests?--shudder at the thought). Also, I need a tacit chord in the 27th measure; I can probably figure out the tacit on my own once I get the chords over the right beats. 4) I wish to move the volta braces above the chords. Again, there are already notes online about this, so no need to answer this one yet. 5) Last but not least, besides numbers one and three above, my most pressing need for input regards the volta arrangement and the ending of the song: The first alternative is really the first and third alternative. The second alternative is perfect the way it is (nice, by the way). The third alternative is really a fine or coda or fourth ending (it's semantic to me, but you may feel differently). It can be tacked on at the end of the song or left where it is; doesn't matter to me. In other words, we end on the second 'A' part which shows as the third alternative on the present file. I'm happy to use a a hybrid of volta notation and d.s. al fine or d.s. al coda, but I haven't figured out a CLEAR way to do this. Any ideas? [In case you're curious this is written for mandolin lead with guitar chords.] Any help is very much appreciated!

Re: override-auto-beam-setting in \layout{} ?
See http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2005-01/msg00123.html The score-override-auto-beam-setting function is included in LilyPond by now, so there's no need to copy the Scheme code in the answer. The first alternative in the answer cited above can be rewritten in a slightly smoother form: #(define-public (layout-override-auto-beam-setting setting num den) (cons (cons setting (ly:make-moment num den)) default-auto-beam-settings)) \layout{ \context{ \Score autoBeamSettings = #(layout-override-auto-beam-setting '(end * * 5 8) 2 8) } } The problem is that you can't call it several times if you want to add several settings, since it only appends to default-auto-beam-settings.

This makes the lilypond functions available to emacs. You then are able to switch on lilypond mode by M-x LilyPond-mode. Please be aware that these names are case-sensitive. HTH, Arjan Btw [ot] When starting with Latex in emacs, please consider auctex as an enhanced latex-mode. It helps with a lot of small things, like placing the correct environment with begin and end, changing fonts and things like that. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van:Sean Reed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Verzonden: zo 8-5-2005 1:22 Aan:Arjan Bos CC: lilypond-user's list Onderwerp: Re: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode hi arjan, thanks for the response. i still must be doing something wrong, or not understanding something. i created an .emacs file and added-to-list 'load-path the directories /sw/etc/emacs21/site-start.d (where i have lilypond-init.el) and /sw/share/emacs21/site-lisp (where i have lilypond-mode.el, -indent.el, -font-lock.el etc.). having quit and restarted the program, i used C-h v load-path and saw that both directories were now indeed listed the load-paths. but M-x gave me no option for loading any lilypond-mode. is that not how you load it? could it be a version discrepancy? (installed emacs 21.3.50 via fink today). i am (pretty much) brand new (again) to emacs and went through the whole tutorial with C-h t today. even if the point-and-click doesn't work out, i would be interested in learning it a bit more, since i would consider using it for latex documents and eventually for CLM at some point again (which is where i used it bumbingly a couple of months 5 years ago for the first time). thanks again for any tips. best, sean Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany Web: www.seanreed.de On 07.05.2005, at 21:21, Arjan Bos wrote: To create a .emacs file, simply start editing one. For example by: C-x C-f ~/.emacs If you do: C-h v load-path it will show you the path emacs searches when it looks for files. There are bound to be a whole lot of directories in them. Just put your files in one of them. Alternatively, if you want to add a directory to the load-path, add the following to your .emacs file: (add-to-list 'load-path "/sw/share/emacs/site-lisp" t) Where /sw/share/emacs/site-lisp is the name of the direc
