Re: Lilypond 2.7.15 ----- Any news on a release for windows?
Considering the amount of internal brain surgery that seems to have been done since 2.7.12, I wouldn't be surprised if the latest Windows version is much more stable than 2.7.15, so maybe you shouldn't complain. On the other hand, it means that fewer people get the chance to discover and report the bugs. /Mats Trent J wrote: Hi all, Is there any news on when 2.7.15 will be released for windows... we seem to be 3 versions behind the rest at the moment..

Re: \book usage
Graham Percival wrote: But are there any other problems that you solve easier with lilypond-book? Yes. The above produces: collection.pdf (includes piece1, with pages numbered 1 and 2) collection-1.pdf (includes piece2, with pages numbered 1 and 2 as well) (assuming piece1 and 2 are both 2 pages) If you get two PDF output files, then you still have some \book{...} left in one of the included files! Just remove all of them and you should get all your pieces in a single PDF with continuous page numbering. /Mats Now, I _could_ manually set piece2 to start on page 3, and I could probably find some command-line tool to stick foo.pdf and foo-1.pdf together as fooall.pdf (I know pstools can do this with ps files)... but I found it easier to use lilypond-book. The automatic page numbering is a bigger issue than sticking pdfs together. Once I've found the tool (pdftools ?), I can just include those commands in a script and have it done automatically. But if I change the order of pieces in a collection, or add an extra page of text at the beginning or whatever, I'd have to change all the manual page numbers again.

Re: what is wrong with this \markup /padding?
In your original question, you didn't really say what you wanted to achieve and you didn't include any complete example. A \markup{...} is used just like any text string and within a score, you either have to attach it to a note like b4^\markup{\italic Moderato } or if you want it right at the top of the piece or over a bar line, use \mark \markup{\italic Moderato } Read about Text Scripts and Text Marks in the manual for more information on these two options. Also, note that if you want to override the padding property, you need different commands for these two options, since different layout objects are used. s1 itself is a spacing note (i.e. an invisible note), so you definitely don't want to add it in a voice of music. Spacing notes are sometimes used in some parallel voice, for example to be able to put a text script or a dynamic indication or whatever at a place where you don't have any note starting. In the example you sent earlier today, my guess is that you really want something like \tempo 4=80 \time 3/4 \once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #4.0 b4^\markup{ Pelleagato }^\markup{ \italic Andantino } \mf c d or combining both into a single two-line markup \tempo 4=80 \time 3/4 b4^\markup{ \column {\italic Moderato Pelleagato }} \mf c d or using \mark (changing the alignment from default center to left) \tempo 4=80 \time 3/4 \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'padding = #4.0 \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT \mark \markup{ \column {\italic Moderato Pelleagato }} b4 \mf c d | In the first of these three examples, I didn't use padding but staff-padding, since otherwise you get a very wide spacing also between the two markups (try it yourself, to see what I mean). Regarding the tremolo, the number after the : should indicate the duration of each subdivision. I don't know the standard notation for guitar music, but on most other instruments you use 3 beams to indicate tremolo, i.e. b8:32 /Mats Jay Hamilton, Sound and Silence wrote: This sort of worked, whereas the other two suggestions did not work at all. However what it did not do was raise the word 'Moderato' above the tempo marking the word Pelleagato appears next to the tempo marking which would be sufficient/acceptable except I still don't know what is going on. My guess is that s1^ is doing something even though it's doing something different in each case- which means that I don't know what/why. I suspect that Han-Wen did answer thoroughly but I accidently deleted that response. I apologize.

I seem to recall that this was a bug in version 2.4 that has been fixed in later versions.

Peter I've just tried compiling your code with Lilypond 2.7.12 and the two tuplets look exactly the same. Could it be a bug of the 2.6.3 version? Maybe upgrading to the 2.6.8 will be of use.

Hello! Complicated newbie questions!
Hi everyone! I just discovered lilypond the other day, and I can't stop playing with it. I have all sorts of questions, and I'm hoping maybe some people here might be able to point me in the right direction. First, here are the simple questions: 1. how can I make a small note? like, sometimes in a bass part (vocal) there's an additional note an octave down, sometimes small, sometimes in brackets, indicating that you can sing it if you're able. I see in the manual an incredibly complex way to change the notehead size in a chord. That's too much effort. I managed to do it like this: \relative c \new Staff { \clef bass {c4 c c c f f e2 d4 d c c b g c2 \\ \tiny c,} } That's not too bad, trouble is the note has a seperate stem, which might not be what you want. Is there any other way to do this? 2. Similarly, can I print a notehead with NO stem? 3. What about putting parentheses around a note in the score ie (o) 4. One other simple one. I'm sure I saw somewhere in the documentation a way to extend lines, something like \header{ composer = Mozart \\ \line the child prodigy } or something like that. But, now I can't find it any more! OK, now, here are the tough questions. 5. I'm inputting cyrillic text. I've noticed that if cyrillic and latin text coincide, they collide in a mess. Is this a known problem? I'll send an example, but I don't know if this list will take attachments. Basically if I write cyrillic latin cyrillic in, say, \header{ title = cyrillic latin cyrillic } the result on the score will be cyriic where ## indicates overlapped text. 6. I'm trying to understand how to format a choral score. Of particular interest is how the words get attached etc.I looked at the examples in section 3 of the manual, but that's not quite what I want. So far, I've settled on this: \score { \context ChoirStaff \context Staff = bari \clef bass \mainvoice \context Lyrics = bari \mainwords \context Staff = bass \clef bass \secondvoice } Am I doing this right? Among the things I don't understand are how/ when the names apply (bari), and where the lyrics get stuck. In my example, if I move my \context Lyrics line below the second staff, the words print there as well. Yet, in the manual clearly the words are tied to the staff explicitly? 7. Finally (for now), I'm having trouble aligning lyrics to music. I have this: mainvoice = \relative c { \key a \minor \repeat volta 2 { \partial 8*3 e8 a8. [ b16] c2~c8 b16 a gis8. a16 b2 r8 } } mainwords = \lyricmode{ one -- two -- three -- four five six } So, the end of sylable four should align with c2~c8.. It does, but five is also under the c2, not under the subsequent b16 where it belongs. I've tried adding _ and __ and even _ __, but there doesn't seem to be any effect. Am I doing something wrong? Same problem in English and Cyrillic. Greatly appreciate any help people can give me. This is a very cool program, and I'd very much like to use it more!

Re: what is wrong with this \markup /padding?
Mats [et al} thank you as for the tremolo in the 2.6 manual section 6.7.6 it gives examples with a half note and the stem has one slash perhaps I mistakenly thought that even if it was an eighth note to get one slash I merely needed to :8 But since that should really mean two 16ths I probably should have :16? Jay Mats Bengtsson wrote: Regarding the tremolo, the number after the : should indicate the duration of each subdivision. I don't know the standard notation for guitar music, but on most other instruments you use 3 beams to indicate tremolo, i.e. b8:32 /Mats -- Childhood is a Journey not a race- Emma Sadinsky aged 8 Jay Hamilton Sound and Silence 206-328-7694 www.soundand.com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Hello! Complicated newbie questions!
I'm on a steep learning curve also, and the list has been great. There are a couple of other things you can do. Download the manual onto your machine and then do word searches for what you are trying to do. For example, if you do a search for transparent, you 'll find ways to make bars, notes and stems transparent, among other things. Another thing I have been doing is finding templates wherever I can and then using or adapting them. People will often send you a template if you tell them what you are trying to do. Another good place to look is www.mutopiaproject.org. There you'll find lots of different styles of music with both the pdf and .ly files. Finally, don't forget about Google. It will often take you straight to list archives regarding your search. You sound really excited about Lilypond, as are we all. But you might get more responses if you split up your questions into separate emails with their own subject line.
