Re: Piano + two verses?

2005-07-25 Thread Rob Vlasaty
Nick,

I had some time today, so I took a look at your file.  I used the example in 
the documents and pasted your notes onto there.  

When aligning lyrics, using the new Lyricsto, you need a note in a voice for 
each syllable.  The purpose of Lyricsto is to specify which voice you want to 
line up with, rather than the old addlyrics way of specifying the count of each 
syllable.  That's why I put your two parts together into the upper voice, then 
hid some of the notes.  You don't need the 4 anymore after Hal, and the 
hyphenation is centered with double -- .

See if this is more of what you wanted.

ES \addlyrics (2.0) is converted to \oldaddlyrics, which is

ES it sometimes doesn't work.

This seems like a bad decision to me, for a number of reasons:

 One of the ways old users learn to use new features is to run
 convert-ly on their old source.  If convert-ly creates bad
 lilypond, it makes learning to use the new features difficult.

 It means that nobody will upgrade lilypond who is working on a
 large vocal music project.  Therefore, the newer versions of
 lilypond will get less testing on such projects.
 
ES There is no good automated way to convert from \oldaddlyrics
ES to \lyricsto, so I'm afraid you'll have to fix it manually.

I'm willing to believe there is no automated way to convert every
possible \addlyrics to an equivalent \lyricsto.  I don't believe that
the most common cases couldn't be handled.  For example, two verses,
with a chorus appended to the first verse, as in the example I
submitted.

COMMENT LIMITER UNE PARTITION A UNE NOMBRE ENTIER DE PAGES ?

2005-07-25 Thread GILBERT ANDERSON
En englais:

A well-placed
/break
or
/pageBreak
may do it.

I use:
betweensystempadding = -1\mm
bottommargin = 6\mm
or perhaps (peut-etre)
linewidth = 164\mm

to control where page breaks will be placed.

songbook questions

2005-07-25 Thread fiëé visuëlle

Hello,

I'd like to prepare some song sheets where the text of second and  
more verses is simply set in one or two columns below the staffs.


Or must I use TeX for such?

Because I don't like LaTeX but use ConTeXt (and InDesign) I'd like to  
get a PDF or EPS of only staffs and related lyrics, without titling  
and whitespace, so that I can place the notes as graphics. How can I  
setup that?


Further I'd like to use an other font for lyrics and chords (same  
font as in the rest of my publication). How must I setup that? Can I  
use MacOS X's system fonts or must I install fonts like for TeX?


I couldn't find the answers in the docs, if they are there anyway,  
please point me to the right sections, thanks!

As a workaround, you could just print your PDFs into PS-files
from acroread. If doing this by hand for every file is too cumbersome,
you can use acroread on the command line and write a small script
for batch-mode.


Or use the command pdf2ps which comes with Ghostscript (at second
thought, it seems to be missing in the Ghostscript installation that
is included in the LilyPond installation for Windows).

These workarounds are neat, but the real issue is this:

How do you adds flags to lilypond when it's being run from the
binary installer?  If you run it from the command line, then shouldn't
we fix this /users/hanwen/..lib problem?  If you can add them
in the GUI (and IMO this should be possible), then is it easy to locate
these settings?

Thank you!

 When aligning lyrics, using the new Lyricsto, you need a note in a
 voice for each syllable.  The purpose of Lyricsto is to specify
 which voice you want to line up with, rather than the old addlyrics
 way of specifying the count of each syllable.  That's why I put your
 two parts together into the upper voice, then hid some of the notes.
 You don't need the 4 anymore after Hal, and the hyphenation is
 centered with double -- .
 
 See if this is more of what you wanted.

Oh thank you Rob, that's just perfect! And it works with lilypond
2.4.6 as well, which is good, otherwise for 2.6.x I will need to
install new ghostscript packages, which I am afraid might break my
printing.

* timidity complains and does not play anything:
