Re: Tempo change in Midi file
Mats
I have waded back through the archives on this issue. There appear to
be two basic statements of truth :
1) Many people commented that *only* midi files produced by Lilypond
had this problem. This has been my experience too, that I can happily
play tempo-changing MIDI files from other programs ( I installed
4 different MIDI players as well as Quicktime and Realplayer and none
of them picked up the tempo changes).
2) Nigel Warner made an analysis - see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-10/msg00286.html
where he found that the tempo changes were not in track 0 (the conductor
track) where he asserted they should be (his argument made good sense to
me).
You commented that it was you who had removed the tempo changes from
track 0
as you endeavoured to provide other functionality; see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2003-10/msg00296.html
However, no fix appears to have ever been made and this bug remains.
I do find MIDI files very useful. When I write some music, these
are my first real chance to hear how it sounds as a whole, despite
the limitations of MIDI so I would be greatful if some small effort
could go into fixing this.

I think there was an insightful email in the mailing lists a couple of
years ago that explained that the current solution of handling MIDI
tempo changes will only work with certain MIDI players but not
with all. I just tried to listen to your example using kmidi (which
internally uses timidity, a software-only MIDI interpreter) and it
certainly plays the correct tempo changes, but it may fail for your
combination of sound card and software.

Hello
according to the mail archives, I should just insert a \tempo directive
whenever I want to change the tempo (I think this should be in the
manual).
1) For multiple staff music, should I insert just one
set of markings for one of the staves (does it matter
which one) or should they all have a (redundant)
tempo marking ?
2) Regardless, this does not seem to function. Here is a little bit of
test music.
sopNotes = {
\relative c' {
\tempo 4=100
e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2
\tempo 4=50
e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2 e2

\score {
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \context Voice = sop { \sopNotes } }
%
\new Staff { \context Voice = mez { \mezNotes } }
%
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
The resultant midi file (attached) does not change tempo. It makes no
difference whether I use one staff or two (and also if I
use one staff and drop the \new ChoirStaff syntax it also
does not work).
I am using V 2.6.3-1 on a Mac Powerbook

I think that you can stop worrying about that (unless you really want to

Tempo marking within a string and object moving
Hi again
I have the notes under control, so now I want to do the hard part, annotate
my music :-)
The very first thing I want to do is proving difficult !
I have a layout like this, with 4 staves. The music begins with rests for
all parts but the cello.
|
With determination (o = 100)
Sopr1
Mezr1
Alt r1
Cello notes
I want to write the expression and tempo marking as indicated above.
The words need to start before the rest symbols are printed (sop/mez/alt)
I wanted to use the \tempo directive, as I will use that elsewhere in
the piece, but I failed to get that to embed in the markup.
My solution seems overly complicated for such a basic (and common) thing.
In the
soprano line I put :
r1^\markup { \hspace #-3.0 With Determination ( \raise # 0.5 { \note #2
#1.0 }=100) }
Comments:
1) the \hspace is to push the text to the left of the first rest
2) The \raise is to get the note-head to align so that the bottom of the
note
aligns with the bottom of the 100 (in the same way as in the \tempo
command)
3) The note head size is larger than that which comes out with the \tempo
command
Is there an easier way to do this ? Can i embed \tempo in the \markup
somehow
so that at least I get consistent note sizes ?
I also wanted to explore how to move text around and eventually found the
padding and extra-offset properties.
The manual gives examples (Sec 4.3)
\once \override TextScript #'padding = #1.5
and
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( 1.0 . -1.0 )
The # syntax appears to be when a command or property takes an argument
(of any type; string, integer, float etc).
Could someone please explain the syntax involving the ' (comma) marks ?
Padding has
one comma and extra-offset has two.There are no comma marks in the
markup
commands, why are they in these ones ? I also find the period in the
middle of the ( 1.0 . -1.0) strange and I didn't even see it at first (and
wondered why it wasn't working).
Anyway, using the extra-offset ( I couldn't get padding to work) I rewrote
my expression
above (and added a vertical shift) as :
\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -3.0 . 2.0 )
r1^\markup { With Passion ( \raise # 0.5 { \note #4 #1.0 }=100) }
which is still quite complicated. Is there a simpler way to move things
about or is this the one true way ?
cheers
Neil

Re: Font problem
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you tried. If I understand you correctly, the problems you reported first with missing font symbols for text fonts, was when you tried the Cygwin installation. Right? Then, you tried the non-cygwin version and got the error message you included below, right? To me, the error message below seems to say that the program found a font file that didn't contain any characters, so it may very well be related to the problems you had with the Cygwin version.

Re: Letter page length too long
Just open the PDF file in Acrobat and check the page size (File - Document properties). For letter size scores, it should say 8.50 x 11.0 inch (at least if you configured Acrobat to use inch). If that's OK, check the Print setup in Acrobat and make sure that it doesn't try to print on A4 and scale the output to fit. Also, run lilypond with the --verbose flag and check out that the call to gs at the end includes a flag -sPAPERSIZE=letter. /Mats Michael Haynie wrote: I am using the app version (I'm unable to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 for other reasons, so can't use the newest fink, either), so dvips is not involved. I set the vsize in the paper block, and was able to control the length of the page, so I have a reasonable work around for the basic problem. However, I'm now convinced that I'm seeing a real bug (though nearly trivial to fix)-- the paper size for letter doesn't account for the required machine borders (typically 1/2 at each margin, for a total reduction of 1). This might also be true for other paper sizes -- but I'm unable to test those. I looked around in the ly sources for a set of paper definitions, but didn't find anything. Does anyone know where the dimensions for e.g. letter paper are set? I'd guess that 5 minutes with a ruler and that file would allow me to determine the most likely wrong dimension (vsize, at a guess). thanks.

keeping in step
I guess this question would be better on the devel list, but I am not subscribed to it. Denemo is looking for some automated way to keep instep with lilypond development. currently cvs is up to 2.6 but for denemo to be truely useful it needs to keep pace with lilypond. What we want to do is a python(?) script that will keep track of lilypond syntax changes on a regular basis. What is the best way to accomplish this? is the /ly directory the place to monitor or is there a better way. Thanks Aaron __ Yahoo!

I suppose you could monitor the convert-ly script in scripts, but I think that the best way would be to monitor lily/parser.yy (using the output generated by bison -v).

Running Lilypond through jEdit in Windows
Hello friends, I have installed jEdit with Lilypond Tools in Windows ME. Besides that, I have installed the native version for Windows (not Cygwin) of Lilypond 2.6.3. How can I run Lilypond from its menu in jEdit? Is it possible I tried configuring the plugin giving the right path for lilypond.exe, but didn't work. It gave me this message: This is a console shell for running LilyPond and related commands. "You can use %buffer to substitute the current buffer's path. LilyPond ready. lilypond /cygdrive/C/musark/ode.ly C:\Arquivos de programas\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe: unrecognized option: `--login' LilyPond ready."

Such a snapshot could perhaps be extended as to only make a daily snapshot if there has been a file alteration.

Re: Running Lilypond through jEdit in Windows
Yes, you're really right. I still not have uploaded the new, 2.6.x compatible LilyPondTool to the jEdit plugin central. I promise that on Thursday I will do that. Until that you can download manually: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lily4jedit/lily4jedit-0.2.8-6.zip?download Unzip its contents into c:\jedit\jars (assuming you have installed jedit to c:\jedit) Do the same with http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lily4jedit/lilyjhelp-2.6.0-1.zip?download I hope that will be enough.

Re: Letter page length too long
OK -- I verified that -sPAPERSIZE=letter is appearing on the gs line, and Acrobat reader reports 8.5x11, as I mentioned previously. Printing A4 on Letter with scaling results in wider margins at the right and left, since a4 is longer than letter. This is default behavior on Mac OS. Not scaling cuts off much more than half a line of text. So -- back to my theory -- there is probably a collection of paper dimensions in the sources somewhere, and one of them is wrong. Where should I look? On Oct 25, 2005, at 10:49 AM, Mats Bengtsson wrote: Just open the PDF file in Acrobat and check the page size (File - Document properties). For letter size scores, it should say 8.50 x 11.0 inch (at least if you configured Acrobat to use inch). If that's OK, check the Print setup in Acrobat and make sure that it doesn't try to print on A4 and scale the output to fit. Also, run lilypond with the --verbose flag and check out that the call to gs at the end includes a flag -sPAPERSIZE=letter. /Mats Michael Haynie wrote: I am using the app version (I'm unable to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 for other reasons, so can't use the newest fink, either), so dvips is not involved. I set the vsize in the paper block, and was able to control the length of the page, so I have a reasonable work around for the basic problem. However, I'm now convinced that I'm seeing a real bug (though nearly trivial to fix)-- the paper size for letter doesn't account for the required machine borders (typically 1/2 at each margin, for a total reduction of 1). This might also be true for other paper sizes -- but I'm unable to test those. I looked around in the ly sources for a set of paper definitions, but didn't find anything. Does anyone know where the dimensions for e.g. letter paper are set? I'd guess that 5 minutes with a ruler and that file would allow me to determine the most likely wrong dimension (vsize, at a guess). thanks.

It's not actually lilypond; it's dvips. No, it can't be dvips. Since 2.6, lily doesn't go via tex/dvi, so dvips is never invoked. The .ps file is created directly, so this must be a problem specific to lily. I don't know anything about letter size papers, since I only have used a4 myself. But IIRC, there is an example in regression tests, which demonstrates how page sizes can be completely customised. -- Erik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user -- = Mats Bengtsson Signal Processing Signals, Sensors and Systems Royal Institute of Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Sweden Phone: (+46) 8 790 8463 Fax: (+46) 8 790 7260 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.s3.kth.se/~mabe = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
