alternate time sigs
I'd like to do this: http://notendur.centrum.is/~bobroff/lily/vartime.png Now, I figure I can handle the invisible changes between 9/8 and 3/4 by using \compressMusic or \times as necessary. I'm guessing that the compound time signature hack could serve as a model for the displaying the time signature as it is in the above example, but I only about half understand how that all works.

Take a look at the example called tuplet-properties.ly in the Regression Tests document to see how to turn off triplet brackets and do other fine tuning. /Mats Graham Percival wrote: On 5-Dec-05, at 5:50 AM, Homrighausen wrote: Hi Graham, one more question: the triplets in the attachment should not be connected.

Re: Roadmap to lily code
I would start the other way around, namely in the LSR or (more or less equivalently) with the Regression Tests and Tips and Tricks documents. For Scheme, see Appendix B Scheme tutorial and the links therein. See also http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/ for a book that's a standard reference in computer science and uses Scheme throughout. /Mats D Josiah Boothby wrote: 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.

xml2ly-0.69.0
Hi everybody, I'm the author of the old xml2ly. I followed in the shadow the recent thread about MusicXML import, and I'd like to tell what happened to my work on xml2ly. First of all, the website http://www.nongnu.org/xml2ly is unmaintained, both because I missed to do the update procedure after some troubles on the GNU servers and due to lack of time and motivation. So, the first xml2ly rests in peace - and will do so forever ;-) BTW, it did its job rather well, as XSLT was not the best technology for such a task. Later on, I started a rewrite in Python. Step by step, I went on for some years... I was contacted by people asking for news about my work (hi Árpád, Nigel, Aaron, Piotr, Enrico!) and I gave them the scratches I had at hand. Few weeks ago I decided to polish definitely the new convertor and release it as musicxml2ly. Then, I read the thread on the Lilypond mailing-list and wrote to Han-Wen to talk about its own roadmap: he suggested me to send anyway my work to the list as soon as possible. So, here is the new xml2ly! I decided to name it xml2ly once again in order to avoid name clashes with Han-Wen's one, which is still well worth to be sponsored, due to the better design, integration with Lilypond infrastructure and distribution, and the known quality of his work. I'm releasing xml2ly hoping it will be useful, in the meanwhile. Ciao!

Re: triplets
A better solution is to tell LilyPond to automatically beam the triplets this way, see 8.6.2 Setting automatic beam behavior for more details. For Jutta's example, just add #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 1 4) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 2 4) before the triplets start. Also, to save some typing, I would recommend to read about the tupletSpannerDuration property in the section on Tuplets. The resulting example could then look something like: \version 2.6.0 { \time 3/4 \key g \major #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 1 4) #(override-auto-beam-setting '(end 1 12 3 4) 2 4) \set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4) \times 2/3 { b''8 b' g' b''8 b' g' b''8 b' g' } } /Mats Trevor Bača wrote: On 12/6/05, jutta [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I need some help with triplets.

Thanks You can check out schemers.org. I will not turn this into a discussion about Scheme (we could maybe find another list) but I think that some words are in place. I was interested in understanding why a programmer would choose Scheme (or Lisp) for a programming language and I found only half answers. You cannot make pointer-mistakes in Scheme, for example. I found that my RedHat has a nice scheme-interpreter, University of Massachusetts at Boston scheme, sounds nice. I tried to find out how a programmer would read a string and e.g. cut the first letter (character) and put it into a variable. It is easy to understand that Scheme makes a new variable each time you get something which has to be stored. Changing strings is not possible in scheme; you create a new one and overwrite or delete the old one, I think. Correct me if I am wrong (but see the quote below from wikipedia first). However I wanted to know how this language would cut strings and I never found out - I even think that UMB-scheme cannot assign the first half of a string to another (new) string. Shame on me, sort of, I couldn't go on especially when I got the advice to try to understand what you actually **can do** with Scheme, because every operation translated into machine code or C-code in my head. I am still wondering why you cannot take the first half of a string ... So I need a good introduction to the rationale behind Scheme, and I think I have found such one on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheme_programming_language The dialect of Lisp known as Scheme was originally an attempt by Gerald Jay Sussman and Guy Steele during Autumn 1975 to explicate for themselves some aspects of Carl Hewitt's theory of actors as a model of computation. Hewitt's model was object-oriented (and influenced by Smalltalk); every object was a computationally active entity capable of receiving and reacting to messages. The objects were called actors, and the messages themselves were also actors. An actor could have arbitrarily many acquaintances; that is, it could know about (in Hewitt's language) other actors and send them messages or send acquaintances as (parts of) messages. Message-passing was the only means of interaction. Functional interactions were modeled with the use of continuations; one might send the actor named factorial the number 5 and another actor to which to send the eventually computed value (presumably 120). When I read such stuff I wonder why a message isn't an object. And how do they propose to cut a string ...

moving colliding rests
I have a little special case where I need to enter music as two voices. The thing is that the second voice is not a real voice but just a layer that shows a pitch with a parenthesized note-head. I have made everything but noteheads transparent in this voice. But sometimes there's a rest in the first voice that collides with the parenthesized note-head, in that case I want the rest to be moved up just as if I had put \voiceOne and \voiceTwo in the two voices... But If I do that, then all stems directions are forced up/down and also rest positions are changed even when there are no colliding stuff. It seems like \override Rest #'Y-offset = #0 fixed that, at least it looks like rests are changed only when they collides with the second voice noteheads... But the stem direction is still forced, so I tried to make my own make-voice-props-set scheme function like this, where I removed all grobs but Rests in the set-direction-loop (I think): #(define (my-make-voice-props-set n) (make-sequential-music (append (map (lambda (x) (make-grob-property-set x 'direction (if (odd? n) -1 1))) '(Rest)) (list (make-grob-property-set 'NoteColumn 'horizontal-shift (quotient n 2)) (make-grob-property-set 'MultiMeasureRest 'staff-position (if (odd? n) -4 4 )) And then I call it with #(context-spec-music (my-make-voice-props-set 0) 'Voice) instead of \voiceOne But nothing happens!

What I've noticed is that in the non-working version of culmus, the fonts have names like NachlieliCLM-Bold.pfa instead of Nachlieli-Bold.pfa. What does that mean? I've not much knowledge of how fonts are looked for and found on the system (Debian) but does that indicate a bug in the more recent culmus package (like failure to update some font listing file)?
