I would say yes, I am sure. I even commented the doc-stuff in the ebuild 
file out :) But I will have a look at it again. Maybe this was a mistake.

I will give it a try (if it becomes necessary). I will report whether it 
succeded (or not). :)

3/4 time oddity

2005-07-19 Thread Steve D

Using LilyPond 2.6.1, does anyone else notice an oddity with:

\time 3/4

Using gs the "3" seems to be displayed correctly, over the "4," in both
the .pdf and .ps versions of the document. In xpdf the .pdf looks fine,
but in gpdf and the evince document viewer the "3" is either invisible
or distorted or seems to be only partially displayed. This phenomenon
sometimes changes with the magnification.

The "4" is displayed correctly by all four applications (gs, xpdf, gpdf,
evince) at all sizes.  It's only the "3" that is invisible or
"odd-looking."

Many TeX stuff has been written or revised by me, and I currently
don't have time to work on lilypond -- the next TeXLive is coming, and
I have to completely update my CJK package together with the fonts,
and this means *a lot* of work.

Yes, I specifically asked to let it in.  I hope that I can work on it
in a few weeks.  Don't stop ranting :-)

Re: Windows command prompt and lilypond 2.6 native windows

2005-07-19 Thread Trent J

<>.
Yes there is, hopefully the kinks will be worked out but there are work arounds in the meantime. Although I find the processing to be slow so that bar by bar entry takes up too much time. Haven't been able to get the linux version of lilypond working (some libc++ library is missing... and I'm not brave enough to compile the thing myself...) to compare the speeds of the version.
Point and Click is still a no go with jEdit but it's fairly simple to have line numbers displayed in jEdit and all you have to do is hover the mouse of over the note in the PDF to find the line number where that note is on.
I've also noted that the windows version of Lilypond has problems with spaces in names of folders and files. So I install in C:\Lilypond directory and not the program files. I was able to get point and click working with VIM but again you needed to install Vim in a directory with no spaces e.g. C:\Vim\
I am still wondering whether the 'native' version of Lilypond should only be aimed at beginners to it's simple drag and drop interface (although to get the conversion programs with python is a steep learning curve) and the windows cgywin for advanced users offering all the bells and whistles. If I could get the linux version up and running I would use it. But might have to wait for a new version for that to happen. But in the meantime windows and native does work .. there's just a bit of coercion needed.

Re: TeX and DVI output from 2.6 native Windows install

2005-07-19 Thread Art Hixson
One of the things I thought was particularly interesting about Lilypond 
was its interface with LaTeX.  I was thinking about using the DOC format 
to write some prefaces to works I'm editing.  Unfortunately, I'm barely 
able to work in LaTeX at this point but I think it has great potential.  
So, if TeX is no longer supported, how can one integrate music examples 
with text?  And wasn't the documentation in DOC format?


Also, the manual clearly retains the TeX and DVI options so the 
developers must have intended it to work.

The way I use jEdit with Lilypond is to load the file into jEdit. I 
press the make lilypond file icon. It has a fit because it can't find 
bash (even if you have the native mode clicked). This leaves the 
console window open from wich you can type:

Subject: Windows command prompt and lilypond 2.6 native windows
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2005 23:40:01 -0700

Typing lilypond at the Windows command prompt produces no 
result.  Whereas, from the Cygwin console I get the default sample .ly 
file.
I can compile a .ly file from Cygwin but not from the Windows 
prompt.  Why?


It seems the only way I can send a .ly file to the Windows install is 
by dragging the file icon to the Lilypond icon on the desktop.  That's 
really painfully awkward!


I really like jEdit,  because it's cultivated for Lilypond and Python, 
but I have to have Bash there just to run it anyway.  It can be 
pointed to the Windows install, of course. But I was much happier with 
the overall way things worked when Lilypond was installed in 
Cygwin.  I'd love to have Linux up on this machine, but don't have 
that option.

Problem installing lilypond 2.6.1

2005-07-19 Thread Luis G . López
Hi!

I had installed 2.4.2 some time ago; it was very hard for me (and for
you, as you had to help me through the list :-)).
Now, I downloaded the .package file of 2.6.1. Everything went fine,
but when I want to run lilypond, I get the following message:
---
/usr/bin/lilypond-bin-2.6.1: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version
`GLIBCXX_3.4.4' not found (required by /usr/bin/lilypond-bin-2.6.1)

Please, can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Thank you

Luis.

Doesn't look like my last attempt to reply was successful. Sorry if this
seems to be a repeat. I checked if I had two versions of gs. Yes, one in
/usr/local/bin & one in /usr/share/bin. "Which gs" said I use
/usr/local/bin/gs (which is the 8.15 version) The other, which I thought
I'd got rid of was the 7.07 version. And obviously the one autoinstaller
was finding, so I was brave and reckless and "rm /usr/share/bin/gs" 'ed
it. This did the trick and I am now the proud owner of the latest,
greatest version of lilypond. Now all I have to do is sit down and study
the manual to brush up on  new techniques.

Re: Lilypond 2.6.1 on Gentoo: libstdc++

2005-07-19 Thread Daniel Johnson
Dear Martin --

I took another look at your error message.  I think that if you scroll
further up in your error messages, you'll find that there was a
non-fatal error in processing a .ly file; this causes problems for
texi2dvi later.  Also, have you explicitly disabled the "doc" USE flag
for this?  I.e. added the following to /etc/portage/package.use:
media-sound/lilypond -doc
You can make sure by using the ask-verbose flag when emerging:
emerge -av lilypond
I could almost swear that somehow the "doc" USE flag is being set. 
Also, if you discover the failed processing of a .ly file, it is almost
assuredly because of a problem with Guile 1.6.7.  If you want to try
updating Guile to the CVS version, you can find instructions here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-07/msg00031.html
Just ignore steps 12-18, since the ebuild available from the Gentoo
bugzilla handles that part for you.  You'll find that Lilypond builds
much faster with the CVS Guile.

You can write a music function that takes a note as an argument, and
returns the override, the note and its markup.

%[not tested]
\version "2.7.1"
tcdown = #(def-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music)
   #{
  \once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #2
  $note _\markup \column { T C }
   #})

Re: TeX and DVI output from 2.6 native Windows install

2005-07-19 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Note that the TeX backend is more or less unsupported, so don't be
surprised if it doesn't work anymore. If you have a very good reason
to use it, please tell the mailing list.

try checking out the ikebana/ module from CVS.

Alternative parts in the middle of a repeat

2005-07-19 Thread Sven Axelsson
Is it possible to have alternative parts marked by volta brackets
in the middle of a repeat, and not only at the end?

This is very common in the kind of music I use Lilypond for.

I have a small base of how-to examples which are essential for
small-private-scale writing of any (classical) music. Well, it
is definitely not finished, but I happened to be able to answer
your question.


you might want to consider contributing them to the LilyPond snippet 
repository. They're in need of more contributions.

You need both --format=tex and --backend=tex. It's in chapter 5.2
"Command line options" in the manual.

RE: Windows command prompt and lilypond 2.6 native windows

2005-07-19 Thread Trent J

Yes I had the same problems with native lilypond but there are some work arounds.
Setting path to lilypond.exe doesn't work as there are some problems later with missing files that are there.
The way I use jEdit with Lilypond is to load the file into jEdit. I press the make lilypond file icon. It has a fit because it can't find bash (even if you have the native mode clicked). This leaves the console window open from wich you can type:
"C:\Lilypond\usr\bin\Lillypond" "C:\Scores\01Son.ly"
You need the quote marks the first is a direct path to where your lilypond.exe is installed and the next quoted item is the direct path of the file name. You don't have to retype this everytime you wish to make the pdf just use the arrow up and it will remember your list command (similar to dos)

Sure you can run native Lilypond from the command line, but
for some reason you have to use the full path to Lilypond.exe,
even if it is on the path.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot. I think the second way is the better one for me :)


2. Remove the autopackage and build lilypond from source; it's not too
painful unless you need to build the documentation as well.  There's an
ebuild here:
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97574
If you're not concerned about building documentation, edit the ebuild
and lower the guile version requirements to 1.6.7 (my ebuild requires
guile-1.7.2 from CVS; building *that* is left as the proverbial exercise
for the reader).
Rename the ebuild to the version number you want to build; the given
ebuild is for 2.7.0 but it should work fine for any of the 2.6/2.7 series.


Can you give me some assistence with this? The first problem I run into 
is this:

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy ">=app-text/mftrace-1.1.11".

emerge tells me that there is only mftrace-1.1.2 available (~x86). I 
changed the version to 1.1.2 in the lilypond ebuild but this would have 
been too easy because the emerge fails :)

The last few lines of output are:
