The answer is that, by default, no, these dynamics will not apply to the voices in the other staves. This is due the fact that dynamics are performed from within the Voice context. In order to make the dynamics work properly, you have to remove the Dynamic_performer and Span_dynamic_performer from the Voice context and add them to the PianoStaff context. -- Michael Welsh Duggan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I can't afford a C compiler for Windows, and I can't switch to Linux or to
a Mac for work reasons. But I know C, and the code (above) is very clear.
Thank you for the very specific information. I have to admit that I
didn't know what unicode coding looked like. I suppose I should break
down and download the unicode specs from somewhere.
But I still think LilyPond should allow the option of putting a command
at the top of a *.LY file marking it as either Latin-1 or unicode. All
the code for allowing Latin-1 exists; it was used in LP 2.4 according to
Mats. There are plenty of computer users in North America who take it for
granted that all Windows software can understand Latin-1.

I have the world's oldest Notepad, and it won't save as "unicode text",
which frankly I view as an advantage, as I want to have at least one text
editor that can be absolutely counted to save in Latin-1 no matter what.
But I could open the text file with WordPad, if I wanted, as WordPad will
allow saving as unicode text.
And now that I think about it, I could fake the unicode myself in a
Latin-1 text editor using the information inherent in your conversion
routine. (I only need Latin-1 [or unicode] rarely, in some song titles.)
The situation is clearer now. Thank you for your help.

The VBScript can be modified to be work when called from an entry on
the right-click ("context") menu associated with the input file.
However, that requires messing with the Windows Registry, and
most noncommercial people are leery (as I am) of distributing material
that requires Registry changes, so in fact your script as it stands
is a very safe solution.
Being somewhat unicode-resistant, I was not familiar with the details
of conversion. I may or may not wind up using your routine, but it
makes it very clear what the characters in a unicoded file look like,
and I was unaware of that.
Thank you for such concrete and clear help.

Re: How can I avoid unicode and use Latin1? (Was: Wrong characterswith jEdit)
Or, for someone with a C compiler, the poor-man's algorithm is:
for ( unsigned int i = 0; i < length; i++ )
{
if ( (unsigned char)line1[i] > 127 )
{
*line2++ = (char)(192 + (((unsigned char)line1[ i ]) / 64));
*line2++ = (char)(128 + (((unsigned char)line1[ i ]) % 64));
}
else
{
*line2++ = line[ i ];
}
}
But in general, the quickest solution is to load the file in Notepad, and
save as UTF-8.

Re: How can I avoid unicode and use Latin1? (Was: Wrong characters with jEdit)
What you have found in the source code files are some left-overs from version 2.4 and earlier, where LilyPond only knew about Latin1. If you browse through the mailing list archives, you can also find out why this was not a satisfactory solution if you want to promote the program outside western Europe. If you find this added flexibility in LilyPond 2.6 so annoying, then you could use some program that converts a Latin1 coded file into UTF-8 coding and even make a script file that first does the conversion and then calls LilyPond.

Re: Atonic Key in cadenza
The problem here isn't the atonic key function itself, but rather that
you use \cadenzaOn, which makes everything up to the next \cadenzaOff to
be treated as a single long measure, no matter if you insert any extra
manual bar lines every here and there.
One solution is to replace \cadenzaOn with something like
the following:
unmeteredOn = {
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
\set Timing.automaticBars = ##f
}
This works by turning off the automatic printing of bar lines but
since it keeps the internal counting of the position within the bar
as usual, I specified the measure length to be 1/4.
I'm not 100% sure how you want your accidentals to behave within
each "measure". Maybe the my solution only works in this specific
example.
Secondly, I don't really understand why you use such a complicated
function to specify your atonicKey. Whoever proposed it on the mailing
list must have missed that you could just as well do
atonicKey = {
\set Staff.keySignature = #'((4 . 5)
(5 . 5)
(6 . 5)
(0 . 5)
(1 . 5)
(2 . 5)
(3 . 5))
\set Score.extraNatural = ##f
}
(or maybe I have missed some fine point)
After these modifications, your example could look something like
\version "2.6.0"
atonicKey = {
\set Staff.keySignature = #'((4 . 5)
(5 . 5)
(6 . 5)
(0 . 5)
(1 . 5)
(2 . 5)
(3 . 5))
\set Score.extraNatural = ##f
}
unmeteredOn = {
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
%\override Score.TimeSignature #'print-function = ##f
\set Timing.automaticBars = ##f
}
unmeteredOff = {
\set Timing.automaticBars = ##t
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4 4)
}
\new Voice {
\atonicKey
\cadenzaOn
c'8 c' c'' c'' d' d' d'' d''
\bar "|" \set Timing.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 0 4)
cis'8 cis' cis'' cis'' des' des' des'' des''
\cadenzaOff
\bar "|" \cadenzaOn
des'' des'' c'8 c' c'' c'' d' d' d'' d'' cis' cis'
\bar ":"
cis'8 cis' cis'' cis''
des' des' des'' des''
\unmeteredOff
}

the atonic key function works well in cadenza context but repeated altered
notes over a arbitrary barline (see ex. below) do not reproduce accidentals.
Can it be fixed?
it works if I repeat the statement \atonicKey after each barline
-
atonicKey =
#(def-music-function (parser location) ()
#{ #(ly:export (make-music 'EventChord
'origin $location
'elements (list (make-music 'KeyChangeEvent
'tonic (ly:make-pitch -1 4 0)

\set Score . extraNatural = ##f #})

\atonicKey
\cadenzaOn{

cis'8 cis' cis'' cis'' des' des' des'' des''
\bar "|"
des'' % this one does not get a flat.. unless I put another \atonicKey
before
des'' c'8 c' c'' c'' d' d' d'' d'' cis' cis'
\bar ":"
cis'8 % this one no sharp

Re: Temporary Staves Above-Below
I don't see the problem. How about
\version "2.7.8"
\score {
\new PianoStaff {
<<
\context Staff = "RH" {
\clef treble
{ f'2 c'4 d' e' f' r4 r8 c' d'4 e' }
}
\context Staff = "LH" {
\clef bass
{a,2 b,4 g, e, f,g,8} % i cut here into the notes of the LH
<<
\new Staff {\set Staff.alignAboveContext = #"RH"
c''16[ des'' gis'' fis'']} % but I want this staff to be above RH?
{c, c, c,4 cis,8 c, d, e, } % remaining notes of LH
>>
}
>>
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
}

When I want to start a staff, if I do it inside a context, I have no choice
but I get it below the staff of the context I'm in,
if I want to use the :
\set Staff.alignAboveContext command,
I must have it outside any other staff context (that's logical) and I must
use \skip to have the new staff start where I want.
Using \skip in unmetered long scores can be quite unconvenient..
Am I right assuming that there is no way to "cut" into the notes of an
existing staff context, start a new staff and put it above or below ?..
Example:
---
\version "2.7.8"
\score {
\new PianoStaff {
<<
\context Staff = "RH" {
\clef treble
{ f'2 c'4 d' e' f' r4 r8 c' d'4 e' }
}
\context Staff = "LH" {
\clef bass
{a,2 b,4 g, e, f,g,8} % i cut here into the notes of the LH
<<
\new Staff {c''16[ des'' gis'' fis'']} % but I want this staff to be
above RH?
{c, c, c,4 cis,8 c, d, e, } % remaining notes of LH
>>
}
}
\layout {
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
}
}

Try this:
{
s4*16
s8*3
s1*5
s2
music
}
Using shorthands like s and *, it's not such a big deal.
