Re: Still \char # problem..

People using SToccata.TTF or other non-unicode symbol fonts would find it

Beyond that, \char is an existing feature; if its behaviour were
consistent with LilyPond's switch to utf-8, then people who needed only a
few accented letters from time to time could write \char #50089 to get
e-acute, or the corresponding number to get some character from the Czech,
Romanian, etc. alphabet.
I was confused a little; there is also a back-end command char, which
does not and cannot work any longer since the switch to pango.
However, try using
\markup {
#(ly:export (ly:wide-char-utf-8 137))
}
Hmmm... maybe I could change the implementation of \char to use that.

Mysterious octave shift
Dear lilypond experts,
I'm very sorry to bother you, but even after carefully reading the
documentation and some of the list's archives, I still have no clue.
During my very first steps using lilypond for my personal collection of
songs, I found some odd behaviour.
I'm using embedded lilypond notation and tried this:
\begin{lilypond}
\score {
\notes {
\relative c'{
\key d \minor
d8 d e f a d d d
d d e f a bes bes bes
}
}
}
\end{lilypond}
I was very surprised to see the notes of the second measure one octave
higher than expected ('' instead of '). The behaviour may be suppressed
by changing the notes to
d8 d e f a d=' d d
d d e f a bes bes bes
but that's not what I'm supposed to do, isn't ist? I noticed that the
octave shift occurs, whenever the stem of the second 8th group changes
the direction and goes down. If I use these notes:
d8 d e f g d d d
d d e f a bes bes bes
everything is as expected.
Can anybody explain me, what happens here? Is this a bug? A feature? A
user-too-dumb error?
Yours,
René

Hi all, I am trying to add lilypond output into scribus, my first choice would have been scribus, but scribus doesn't like lilypond svgs? My next choice is png but scribus complains they are to low resolution. so: 1. could someone else try an svg from lilypond and see if it works for them in scribus? If not this might be a bug. 2. is there a way to pass resolution parameters to the backend that is making the png files? thanks Aaron __ Yahoo!

Ghostscript/GSview problems
It's probably me. I've looked in the archives and haven't found any mention of this problem, but when I compile the sample text given when you first run lilypond (that single scale of quarternotes), I can view the resulting pdf file using adobe acrobat without problems. But when I use GS View to look at the .ps file, I get the following lengthy complaint from gsview. I've tried it with 4.6 and 4.7, both of which use Ghostscript 8.15. I'm using the native windows versions of lilypond, MikTeX 2.4.2084 (the Sept 6, 2005 release), and whatever adobe reader is if it has all it's current updates. ray GSview 4.6 2004-01-11 Unknown in Comments section at line 7: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Bold Unknown in Comments section at line 8: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma Unknown in Comments section at line 9: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font PFAEmmentaler-20 Unknown in Prolog section at line 14: %%Title: CenturySchL-Bold Unknown in Prolog section at line 15: %%CreationDate: Fri Nov 22 10:58:25 2002 Unknown in Prolog section at line 16: %%Creator: frob Unknown in Prolog section at line 17: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Bold Unknown in Prolog section at line 27: %%EndComments Unknown in Prolog section at line 3699: %%Title: CenturySchL-Roma Unknown in Prolog section at line 3700: %%CreationDate: Fri Nov 22 10:58:15 2002 Unknown in Prolog section at line 3701: %%Creator: frob Unknown in Prolog section at line 3702: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font CenturySchL-Roma Unknown in Prolog section at line 3712: %%EndComments Unknown in Prolog section at line 7319: %%DocumentSuppliedResources: font PFAEmmentaler-20 Unknown in Prolog section at line 7320: %%Title: PFAEmmentaler-20 Unknown in Prolog section at line 7321: %%Version: @TOPLEVEL_VERSION@ Unknown in Prolog section at line 7322: %%CreationDate: Sat Sep 17 11:45:13 2005 Unknown in Prolog section at line 7323: %%Creator: Jan Nieuwenhuizen,,, Unknown in Prolog section at line 7332: %%EndComments DSC Information At line 7347: /Notice (This font is distributed under the GNU General Public License.

Re: calculating durations
Erik, Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look at midi2ly.py. Since the source format has features that I do not believe are found in midi, there would likely be data loss in the case where I convert to midi first. - Matt On Sep 16, 2005, at 12:08 PM, Erik Sandberg wrote: On Thursday 15 September 2005 20.48, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi all, I am a new user of LilyPond and I am currently writing a program that transforms scores expressed in a piano-roll-like format into LilyPond scores, for the purpose of typesetting/printing. In the source format, music is expressed (like Midi, I suppose) as strings of notes with absolute durations, without a notion of time signatures, barlines, ties, etc. Is there a tried-and-true algorithm for converting such notes into their proper equivalents in LilyPond, given a time signature? I have 2 ideas: - You could go through MIDI (i.e. let your program convert from piano-roll-format to MIDI), and use lilypond's midi2ly program to create the .ly file - If you are familiar with python, write a piano-roll-to-.ly converter based on midi2ly.py. In this case, you may only distribute the converter under the terms of the GNU GPL. I'm especially thinking of how to resolve a note like c3 (where 3 means 3 quarter note beats) into Lilypond's c2.

Re: calculating durations
Erik Han-Wen,
I'm not sure that either example does precisely what I need. The
algorithm I want should convert c3 into c2. and c7 into c1 tied to
c2. in the next bar. The source format describes notes in terms of
absolute durations, and not in terms of traditional notation. For
some of the details of tieing, I think Completion noteheads will come
in handy, but I'm not sure if it will accommodate my entire
conversion task, as described.

not that I know of . I guess you'd be better off with Completion
noteheads. (see the manual).
I ran lily (2.4) on this score:
\score{
{ c4. d8 e2 e2. f4 }
\midi{}
}
Then I ran midi2ly on the resulting midi file. The resulting .ly
contains:
c4. d8 e2 |
% 2
e2. f4 |
.. which, as far as I understand, shows that midi2ly does what
Matthew needs.
(bug or feature? :) )
Still, it's a good idea to look at completion heads, to properly
handle notes
that cross bar boundaries.

2 quick questions from a music teacher
Hello and thanks for such a fantastic program. I am a music teacher
with experience with programs like Sibelius. I am just learning
Lilypond in hopes of using it with the students I teach at the School
of the Arts in San Francisco. I really enjoy Lilypond.
I do have two quick questions that I can't seem to deal with. I'm
sure that there are easy answers, but after 2 hours of trying I
figured maybe an email would work better. For both questions, I've
included a sample of the code I'm using.
1. I am making a sight-singing book with my students that we plan to
post to Mutopia when finished. The formatting looks great, but I must
be missing something, because when I put a composer header for each
melody, the last name appears at the head of the document. I would
also like to insert a number before each staff so that the melodies
are clearly numbered.
2. I work with an autistic student who is non-verbal. He loves music
and can read basic music. I am using the EasyHead notes. I find
they're hard to read unless I make things big. I have enlarged the
staff and modified the lyrics so they are smaller, but the title and
space between title and the music is too big. I would also like to
insert a comment so that there are no bar numbers visible (since any
non-critical information is a distraction I'd like to avoid).
I am putting my snippets below for 1 and 2. In addition, I would love
it if there were someone in the San Francisco Bay area who might be
able to provide a lesson or two. I'd be happy to pay. In addition, if
I could find someone online, that might also work, but probably not
as well. I believe that I fall into the same space as many teachers
in that I'm uncomfortable with some of the basic conventions that
seem to be inferred from Lilypond, such as argument, etc.
Thanks for any possible help,
Matthew Thibeault

metric modulation problem
Hi,
I am trying to put a metric modulation mark, but I cannot find a way to achieve
it:
so far I have:
{a1 \mark \markup { \tiny \note #8 #1 = \tiny \note #8 #1 } a1}
but I would like to have the bracket and the number of a tuplet above the
first eight symbol, to show that the previous eight notes within tuplets,
are, in the new tempo, equal to simple eight notes.
You can have a look on those web pages:
http://hometown.aol.com/loudfonts/TempiFnt.htm
and

Since every implementation of an SVG renderer is different, since the SVG standard is a bit fluid, and since Lilypond SVG output is necessarily complex, the developers have settled upon Inkscape as the SVG renderer/editor that they will target. Single-page (see item 2 below) Lilypond SVG output is openable in Inkscape. Possibly Inkscape could save it in a format that other SVG renderers are happier with... I haven't tried. 2. There is no SVG standard for multi-page documents, so multi-page Lilypond SVG output will not render correctly in any SVG renderer. In Inkscape, it will just overlap all the pages on a single page. Han-Wen has let it be known that the ability to burst pages for SVG output is a feature that would cost 80 EUR. I am planning on at least partially sponsoring this in a few weeks when I get some money, but if someone else wants to beat me to it, please be my guest...

Re: version 2.6.x for debian (unstable or sarge)?
Unless you're interested in installing from source, which shouldn't be a problem if you're using the ghostscript packages from Sid, by far the easiest thing you can do is install with autopackage. It works, quite nicely. You can install it to your home directory. Unfortunately, there are not yet any 2.6 or 2.7 packages for Debian.

Re: graphics gripe
Yes I can now that I read erik's email, The lilypond file in scribus looked like a few files mashed together, which I understand now is because the svg doesn't support mutiple pages. they ran it through a parser and got errors, which I assume had to do with the multiple page issue. I tried however a smaller file and it still didn't look good in scribus. I wonder if there is a way to save it with better settings in inkscape so scribus will read it? In either case I have switched from png to pdf for scribus and for the time being it is a better choice. If I had any money I would gladly join in to sponser better svg support but there is little hope of that...

Wrong type argument in position 1 error and other questions
I've been checking out lilypond for a few days and
really like what it can do. I've come upon a strange
error that I can not figure out. Line 95 is commented
out. By removing the comment I get the following when
running lilypond --pdf ./black_hole.ly
Preprocessing graphical objects...
Calculating line breaks...
[3][6][9][12][15][18][21][24][27][30]/usr/share/lilypond/2.6.0/scm/output-lib.scm:43:24:

Wrong type argument in position 1: ()
What is it with this snippet of code that causes the
error. I'm new to lilypond so I'm guessing the
problem is something basic--ish that's not
specifically spelled out in the tutorial.
There are a couple other warning that pop up when
rendering this file. one says:
./black_hole.ly:4:2: warning: junking event:
`KeyChangeEvent'
but the key change does occur. Should I put the \key
g \major statement in another place to cover all
staffs?
Finally I get a ton of:
Voiceprogramming error: can't find context continuing,
cross fingers
But the voice section looks very good. Again, am I
doing something slightly wrong that it works, but with
loud complaints?
I'm running 2.6.0 on Cygwin Linux.
Thanks for a great piece of software.

midi don't ties...
Peace Health in Jesus Christ I've noticed that the ties between same notes do not generate the equivalent sound in the midi file, e.g., two quarters notes tied sounds as two quarters indeed (and not as one half note). Why? Shalon, a r s PS: I'm an old newbie in Lily and would like to know whether is a kind of template to orchestral music (woods, brasses, percussions, strings)? PS2: Is there a common practice in numbering code lines or even typeseting lily language? (Tabbing lines for example: 1 tab or three spaces or what?). Because since the program was launched it should have produced some standard use (like a good practice). I don't have nothing against democracy but some conventions would be pretty good; just in case one wishes read more easily another people's code.

Re: Ghostscript/GSview problems
Worth noting: I had the problem with 2.6.3 stable, so I downloaded the most recent experimental, and had the same problem. That's when I went looking for other versions of gsview.

Re: Ghostscript/GSview problems
Had the same problem here... I sent an email to lilypond-devel about this so did Mats Bengtsson. I think this is a gsview problem not a lilypond problem as the .ps file is readable in another PS viewer program... a commercial one.. can't remember it's exact name but the program was unable to watch a file and update when changes were made... so no different than viewing via PDF. I checked via ghostscipt program and was able to make a pdf version of the postscript file via ps2pdf so ghostscript (not the viewer) is able to use the file. My guess is that gsview many have problems with the certain tags in the file etc. I'm awaiting a response to my question on lilypond-devel as to whether to contact the makers of gsview.. just in case it is a lilypond problem...

Re: version 2.6.x for debian (unstable or sarge)?
Hello list, hello Josiah, Thanks for Your help! :) Unless you're interested in installing from source, which shouldn't be a problem if you're using the ghostscript packages from Sid, by far the easiest thing you can do is install with autopackage. It works, quite nicely. You can install it to your home directory. Unfortunately, there are not yet any 2.6 or 2.7 packages for Debian. So, if I understand correctly, at the moment the only way to get 2.6 or 2.7 for my debian systems would be installing from source, am I right?
