RE: lilypond-book problem remains in 2.6.1
My workaround for this problem:
Put the line:
\newcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\linebreak}
in the preamble of the Lytex file.
But there are still some alignment problems I tried to solve with something
like:
\newcommand{\preLilyPondExample}{%
\begin{figure}[t]%
%\begin{flushright}%
%\leavevmode%
\centering%
}%
\newcommand{\postLilyPondExample}{%
%\end{flushright}%
\end{figure}%
}%
without success.

another german chords mode
Hi there!
Since a week I'm playing around with LilyPond and I like it a lot so
far.
But there are some features that I miss i.e. that I can't figure how
to achieve.
I'd like to let my chord names look like I'm used to from German
Scouts songbooks, i.e.
- only major chords are uppercase, everything else is lowercase (no
'm' modifier for minor)
- bass string as uppercase index (small subscript) letter (in TeX: G_
{H} would be g major with B as bass string)
- print e:3+ like (TeX) E^{3+} and not E^{#3} (the latter would mean
F - is it a bug or a feature?)
- single bass tones as small uppercase letters with a bare or an x
over or below them
- optional chords in brackets (should be played in the MIDI)
- I don't care if pitched(?) chords are printed as e.g. Fis or F#
Is this possible? Did I only miss it in the docs?
Best regards from Lake Constance!

Re: lyric placement
Arthur,
You might want to assign each voice separately, rather than put them in chords.
Then you can combine the voices together when you print the staff. This way
Lilypond knows exactly which notes to put your lyrics under. Also, remember to
put a slur on your eighth-notes so the word in can be sung over two notes.
I've been working mostly with hymns lately, so I made a template for myself.
It might have extra stuff that you don't need, but it should get you started.

You can see the '5' accidentals in `pitch-alist'. That's why I called
that a very dirty trick: then engine compares note alterations with the
key signature, which contains only non-existant alterations. That's why
the engine puts alteration on all notes it sees (unless a note with the
same pitch and the same octave has been seen before in the same
measure). As a side-effect, a warning is produced each time the
alterations from the key signature are treated.

RE: Using Scheme inside header markup
From: Nicolas Sceaux [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Using Scheme inside header markup Sven Axelsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Great. Now it works that far. What I acually want to do here is to detect if Lilypond has been called with the --preview flag and then turn off my comment field in the header. I asked that question some days ago and got this answer from Han-Wen: You could use -dno-verbose-header and then read the result with ly:get-option. So I thought I just could do #(ly:export (if (ly:get-option 'preview) (markup ...))) but that doesn't work. I get an error Unknown global option. Do you really get an error, or rather a warning? Obviously only a few options are transfered from main.cc and preview is not one of them. Han-Wen, how should I do this? When invoking lilypond with --preview, add eg. a -dshort-header option on the command line. Then, test with ly:get-option whether the short-header option is selected or not: #(ly:export (if (not (ly:get-option 'short-header)) (markup #:fromproperty 'header:comment) (markup))) Thus: $ lilypond --preview -dshort-header myfile.ly will produce the preview image with short headers, and: $ lilypond myfile.ly will produce the score with full headers. Aha! I didn't quite understand how that was supposed to work. Now I'm calling lily from a batch file that looks like this %ProgramFiles%\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe --preview -dresolution=72 -dno-comment %~n1.ly %ProgramFiles%\lilypond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe --pdf %~n1.ly And I have this in my header markup: #(ly:export (if (not (ly:get-option 'no-comment)) (markup #:frompropery 'header:comment) (markup))) But I still get the header with the comment field in both cases.

Look at ly/titling-init.ly and redefine the output. The bottom of Creating titles hints at how to do this; a bit of experimentation and looking at ly/titling-init.ly should do the rest. 2) There isn't enough room between consecutive pieces, how can I increase the amount of space between pieces? The answer to question 1 would actually negate this question, but it'd be nice to know anyway. See Page formatting.

Re: Book Page Breaks with version 2.4.6

The output issues I posted about earlier (to lilypond-user only)
remain under 2.6.1, although the other bugs I ran into are now fixed.

Again, note the vertical placement of staves in hymnal.pdf.
I think the problem is the horizontal placement, not the vertical. I
thought
this bug had been fixed...
Could you construct a minimal example that demonstrates the problem?
That would greatly help the investigation. Could you then send the
example to bug-lilypond ?
One way to completely eliminate these problems is to use \book{} around
your scores. You may wish to do a few searches on the mailists to see
the history about lilypond-book, \book, and margins.
