ties and triplets
Hi, I have problems regarding ties and triplets with Lilypond version 2.7.12 for Windows 98.

The ties are incorrectly positioned vertically on the notes. Why is this? Is this another bug in 2.7.12? I've included the entire file because when I tried to replicate the individual bars with the ties, everything is ok( the ties are correctly positioned when I only generate that particular bar). I know for certain that this problem doesn't appear in versions 2.6.x Secondly, why are there brackets appearing underneath the triplet notes, above the 3 symbol in bars 31 and 97 respectively? I know from experience that only the 3 symbol appears when using version 2.6.x Is there a way to get rid of the brackets for the triplets? I'm assumming that since both these problems occur in 2.7.12 and not in 2.6.x that the problem lies in the programme and not the file itself. Can anybody please help? Thank you. Yours sincerely, Seng Liang. P.S. I would be happy to send the pdf file if anyone would like to see it instead of generating it themselves. I don't know if these problems are system related (I'm using Windows 98). So if you use XP the problem might not appear in your pdf file. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

figured bass extender lines
Hi, I have a problem regarding figured bass extender lines in Lilypond version 2.7.12 for Windows. Here is the file: \version 2.7.12 \relative { \context Voice { \time 4/4 \key c \major \clef bass c,8 c c c d d e e f4 } \context FiguredBass \figuremode { \set useBassFigureExtenders = ##t 6 42 6 52 5 34 } } Here, what I intend to do is to put the figured bass 6 4 for a duration of a half note and 6 5 for the same duration, and 5 3 with a quarter note duration. I would like extender lines to appear after 6 4 and 6 5 and run the duration of figured basses. However, 3 problems crop up. First, the extender line from the figure 6 extends from the first beat until the 3rd beat, erasing the 6 from the 6 5 figure. How do I make the extender line stop before the second 6 and start again after it, stopping at the end of the bar? Secondly, how do I make 2 extender lines to begin after 6 and 4 for the first and second figured bass? Lastly, if you look at the file, the order of the figured bass is from the top (6 4 means 6 appears on top of 4). However, when I put 5 3 on bar 2, the order is reversed in the pdf file. Why is this? Thank you. Yours sincerely, Seng Liang. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: faqs leftout
Denemo's current development will implement a script to keep it in much tighter sync with lilypond. One of the long term goals is to integrate it with editors such as emacs/vim/jedit so that working in the gui will update the text and working in the text will update the gui. Anyone who feels the itch to come over and help in the development of denemo is most encouraged to do this.

It is meant to hide the bracket when there is a beam connecting all the notes in the tuplet, but it doesn't work in 2.7.12.

Indeed it wouldn't, because a copyright notice on the first page is copyrighting the whole publication. A tagline is for a whole publication. Having a copyright field for each score would not help, because then if you had a notice for each score there would be no copyright for the whole publication. You just need to add the notices as text before each piece, or you can put it after any piece which is on a single page including the notice, since the notice is supposed to go on the first page of music. The sure way of getting it right is to put each notice into a subtitle or second author line as text, and use the copyright field only to copyright the whole thing. daveA -- Free download of technical exercises worth a lifetime of practice: Dynamic Guitar Technique.

This should also answerthe next question. Read in section "The Lyrics Context" for more information.I have re-read the section you specify, and have looked at the vocal template in section 3 of the manual too. I guess one thing that I'm not clear on is what the Voice context is for. I wanted one voice per staff, so I figured I could ignore it. I gather that I can't. But, for some reason voice also implied no chords to me, which I didn't like.

Read in 7.3.6 More stanzas to see one example. Ok, I've been working with Mats' suggestion, and I'm making progress, but I'm still confused. First, I don't understand the distinction between THEMUSIC in the example above and \mainvoice. mainvoice is where I defined my melody line: mainvoice = \relative c { \key a \minor \repeat volta 2 { \partial 8*3 e8 a8. [ b16] c2~c8 b16 a gis8.( a16) b2 r8 e,8 gis8. [ b16] d4 c8 b e8. c16 a4 ~ a2 r8 } } so, is THEMUSIC what I'd name the staff? I don't quite understand the intention behind this. Second, I've had success fixing my lyric problem, but I now have: \score { \time 4/4 \context ChoirStaff %\context Staff = bari \context Voice = themusic \mainvoice \lyricsto themusic \new Lyrics \mainwords \clef bass \mainvoice %\context Lyrics = bari \mainwords \context Staff = bass \clef bass \secondvoice } This produces 3 staves: the first bass clef, which I want, the second a treble clef, which I don't want, using the music of the first part, and the third a bass clef, second part, which I want. But, if I remove: \clef bass \mainvoice My top line becomes a treble clef. Not right. So, I put \clef bass above \context Voice =... That gives me a blank bass staff as the first line! if I remove \context Staff = bass \clef bass \secondvoice now my _bottom line is a treble clef! What's going on here? Clearly I don't understand the intent of the syntax somewhere here. Clarification would be much appreciated!

Like, I'd align parts of B to marker in A or something. Or am I totally off my rocker? You are right on the spot. The Voice context in LilyPond is intended to correspond exactly to the musical concept of a voice. See the Section on Polyphony in the manual and the example template for SATB vocal score, for example. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

To make it clear what is what in the syntax I didn't use the obvious name mainvoice but THEMUSIC in the following example: \score{ \context Voice = THEMUSIC \mainvoice \lyricsto THEMUSIC \new Lyrics \mainwords } If you want to split lyrics when the music splits into several voices, use separate Voice contexts with separate names and just attach the lyrics to the corresponding voice. Read in 7.3.6 More stanzas to see one example. Ok, I've been working with Mats' suggestion, and I'm making progress, but I'm still confused. First, I don't understand the distinction between THEMUSIC in the example above and \mainvoice. mainvoice is where I defined my melody line: Do you have any experience of computer programming? In that case, just think of mainvoice as a macro definition or a variable. It is just a way to structure your input file. For example, mainvoice = { c d e f } \score{ \mainvoice } is completely equivalent to \score{ { c d e f } } Naming Voice contexts is something completely different. For example, in \score{ \context Staff = mystaff { \context Voice = ABCD { c d e f } } } you explicitly tell LilyPond to create a Staff context (corresponding to a printed staff/stave) which contains a Voice context (corresponding to one line of music). LilyPond will create most of these contexts automatically even if you don't specify them, for example a Voice context is created as soon as you have some music and a Staff context as soon as there is a Voice. However, in certain circumstances you want to specify a name of the voice or stave to be able to refer to it. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: lyrics melismata
A underscore within a syllable will be replaced by a space.

making sense of templates in manual
Ok, I'm looking at templates in the manual, 3.2.2, and 3.2.3.rather than reprint, you can see it here:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Piano-templates.html#Piano-templatesThe first one (3.2.2) makes perfect sense to me:it has \score, and within that it has a voice, and then a pianostaff in the form \context PianoStaff \context Staff = upper \upper \context Staff = lower \lower That makes sense. Now, 3.2.3 says it will remove the separate vocal line. I would expect it to look something like \context PianoStaff \context Staff = upper \upper \lyricsto upper \new Lyrics \text \context Staff = lower \lower or something like that. Instead, you see, in part, \context Staff = upper { \context Voice = singer \upper } \lyricsto "singer" \new Lyrics \textWhat really confuses me is that the lower staff is now within its own , whereas the upper staff has none of these, only { } . But not entirely! the \lyricsto section is outside of the upper staff context's { } !! So, it appears to me that the upper staff has no syntactic bound!Why doesn't the upper voice need ?! This seems counter-intuitive to me. Or, if it is intuitive, can someone please explain how?Thanks,Markian Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes. --Mazer Rackham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Measure confusion
Title: Measure confusion All, I have been happily using lilypond for a while now but have run into a real mystery. I've attached the .ly file I'm working on. I'm using 2.6.4. If you generate the PDF, you'll notice bar lines are missing between measures 71 and 72 and thereafter, until measure 75. The text 75 for the measure number should be on the double bar one measure later. It really looks like something has made lilypond's timing go very strange. I thought it might be because of the triplet 16ths, but I can comment those out and the problems before them are still there. I'm not doning anything complicated at all here so I am at a loss as to why lilypond stops drawing bar lines and stops counting properly (or at least gives the appearance of not counting rignt).

Re: Measure confusion
Why not ask LilyPond itself to assist you in finding the problem. Just insert a | where you expect to have a bar line (it will also help you read your own input when working with the score), then LilyPond will print a warning every time it finds bar that does not end where you put the |.

Unicode confusion
Hi, I've been using lilypond quite happily for about a year, and recently I've been delving into multilingual issues. I'm trying to set some German language text, and I'm having a hard time entering it. I've looked at the example typography-demo.ly file, which produces beautiful output. The beginning lyrics there display as: SLATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIAERESIS - LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP Ses The actual bytes in the sample score that correspond to the LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH DIARESIS (U+00FC) are: C3 83 C2 BC. The *proper* UTF-8 encoding of U+00FC requires two bytes: C3 BC. The two-byte encoding I suggest looks correct in every Unicode viewer I've tried (e.g., gvim, yudit, Firefox). The four-byte encoding looks like line noise. The four-byte encoding is actually the UTF-8 for LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDEVULGAR FRACTION ONE QUARTER. Correct UTF-8 encodings of Unicode characters do *not* display properly in my lilypond scores. As near as I can figure, lilypond is expecting UTF-8 to be twice-encoded--U+00FC is encoded to C3 BC, which is then *re*-encoded to C3 83 C2 BC. Am I missing something here? Is anybody creating lilypond scores such that they can read the lyrics *both* in .ly files and in the .pdf output? If not, how in the world do you manage to input your lyrics?
