Hi, yes, I am aware of the MetronomeMark property. However, the tempo

the beginning eg. Allegro, Adagio. The meter in the header is useful only 
for these tempo markings at the beginning of a piece, it can't place them 
anywhere else. However, I've heard that it is now possible to place 
rehearsal mark aligned on time signatures at the beginning of a piece in

Chord Names

Hi All!

I just managed to get my son the genius to install 2.7.20 on my FreeBSD

Now ... I'm entering a piece with melody, lyrics, and chordnames which 
calls for FMaj7, and any combination of that seems to make the program 
crash.  What's the correct syntax to get that chordname?  I've searched 
through the Manual, but obviously haven't found the right section.

Re: piano with melody and lyrics and a chorus with two verses and volta

2005-12-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Did you see the example at the end of  7.3.7 More stanzas?
I guess what you need is not necessarily Voice context composed
of two consecutive Voice context, you just need them to be in
the same stave (i.e. in the same Staff context), right?

Re: Why aren't repeats unfolded automatically in MIDI?

2005-12-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson

One reason is that the MIDI output, at least initially, only was intended
for proof listening a score, not to produce any musically pleasing output.
In such a situation, you clearly don't want to listen to the repeats.

Regarding realizations of pralls, trills and so on, I hope you realize that
there is no single correct realization of each such ornament. So,
I would judge it extremely hard to implement something that produces
a MIDI output that is pleasing to listen to, especially considering all
the treatises from the baroque era that describes how all playing and
ornamentation should be done according to the good taste.

Re: Rehearsal mark on time signature

2005-12-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson

I have several times suggested to replace the term Rehearsal Mark
with something like Text Mark, to point out that \mark is not only
useful for rehearsal marks but to typeset any textual indications above
a bar lines or at the beginning of a score line. My only point was that
it doesn't make sense to talk about bug when there is no clear right
or wrong behaviour.


liang seng wrote:

Hi, I suppose you're right. As outlined in the manual, since rehearsal 
marks are centrally aligned, overriding this with left or right align 
will have no effect.


If you want to change the alignment of a rehearsal mark, just do
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
The fine detail that is solved by setting

\override Score.RehearsalMark #'X-offset = #0.0

is that otherwise the left edge of the text will be aligned to the
center of the time signature not to the left edge of the time signature.

I've been thinking, if that's the case, should we introduce a new grob 
which governs the tempo marking that is not centrally aligned by default?


It's actually fairly easy to add a new command, like \leftalignedmark,
yourself, using def-music-function. See sections 11.1.3, 11.1.6 and
the example lily-in-scheme.ly in Regression Test.

Hi, if that works, then it's great. (Since 2.7.19 isn't released yet
on Windows, I can't test this).
However, for the first rehearsal mark, the need to use the command
\override Score.RehearsalMark #'X-offset = #0.0 still means that there
is still a bug somewhere. Can it be fixed?
 


Why do you consider it a bug? Rehersal marks (at least in their literal
meaning)
are normally typeset center aligned over a bar line. I cannot see any
reason to
consider it right or wrong that a rehearsal mark at the beginning of a
line is
center aligned or left aligned over a time signature or clef or whatever.
As has already been pointed out earlier, if you look at printed scores
you will
probably find that it differs from company to company and from edition to
edition.
   



I think I may responsible for making this thread a little confusing.
For some time I've thought it would be a good idea to be able to align
tempo indications right at the start of the piece with the first time
signature in an explicit way (ie, without #'extra-offset).

I worked out the request with HW and sponsored the work as a way of
positioning *marks* in new and better ways ... not because I was
particularly interested in true, boxed rehearsal makes but because I
was (erroneously) thinking of \mark text as the way of placing tempo
indications (like Allegro) at the beginning of the a piece! What I
probably should have done was sponsor new and better ways of
positioning *markup* (rather than *mark*) so that you could say things
like

 time 2/4^\markup {Allegro.}

BUT: the good part is that you can now in 2.7.20 say

 time 2/4 \mark Allegro

and get beautiful results.

So my mistake: I said mark when I should've said markup; but the
recent work generalizing the position of marks is, indeed, very much
appreciated and it gives me exactly that ability to position an
initial tempo indication perfectly with an initial time signature (if
in a somewhat unconventional way!).

try the chords mode docs:

the suffix :maj gives the Major 7th chord. you could also try just

 In the link above, I've changed 2.7 to 2.6 - there appear to be
 some small differences in the templates for the different versions.
 And always say which version you're working on when you ask a
 question.  :-)
Yes, sorry, I forgot that - however, what is the conclusion now? Is 
the Engraver_group a new feature introduced only in 2.7? Then this 
example shouldn't be in the 2.6 branch of the docs.

Changing number of staff lines several times...

2005-12-05 Thread Jonatan Liljedahl
Is it somehow possible to change the number of staff lines in the
middle of a score? If I do an \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
anywhere else but at the start, nothing happens. Perhaps the staff
needs to be restarted somehow?

 Why not use the predefined macros \hideNotes, \unHideNotes described
 in the section on Hidden notes in the manual?

BTW, is there any place (doc or scm source) where one can see all those
predefined macros and commands?

print-circled-text-callback circle-size

2005-12-05 Thread Jonatan Liljedahl
The print-circled-text-callback scheme function that is used by
StringNumber does not adjust the size of the circle wrt font-size...
It's hardcoded to 0.8.

Re: Roadmap to lily code

2005-12-05 Thread D Josiah Boothby
Regarding scheme, I can't really help you and would welcome additional 
explanations. However, in general, the easiest way to learn Lilypond (or 
at least what worked for me) is to go to the mutopia website and download 
lilypond sources. Copy and paste until you get comfortable starting from 
scratch (at which point you'll probably continue copying and pasting 
because you may find that it takes less time).


Also, the LSR (lilypond snippet repository) can be quite useful, but 
unfortunately, I have not spent enough time there to tell you how useful 
it is.

Hello users and creators of the best music notation program in the world!

What can you suggest for learning Scheme?
A set of few links for getting from almost 0 up to Lilypond source.
Recommended readings textbooks and on-line tutorials..
Thanks

Hi Graham,
one more question:
the triplets in the attachment should not be connected. What can I do?


Please keep lilypond emails on the mailing list.  That way other people 
can help or get help from the answers.


By connected, do you mean beamed?  If so, see the manual about beams. 
 If you want to remove the triplet bracket, it's a bit more 
complicated, and I don't know how to do it.  I would start by reading 
the chapter on changing defaults, though.
