Re: Captions with French words and accents
Hi Linda!
I would like to know how to typeset a caption under a musical example.
What is your intent of putting a caption under an example? Is it some kind
of (scientific) publication meaning you'll have a lot of musical snippets in
one paper? That is what I derive from your first posting.
In that case I would suggest to use lilypond only for typesetting the music
and to leave captioning (and espacially numbering) to your word processing
software (LaTeX, Word or what else...).
For captions done by lilypond a simple _\markup {...} (or like Dave already
mnetioned ^\markup...) attached to the first note or rest in your example
should do it. (After all that would be the way I handled it.)
Kind regards,
Thies

Output antialiased PNG files
Hello, When we invoke lilypond with -f png it outputs a PNG file. -dresolution sets the resolution for the rastering conversion. But how can I specify that the output should be antialiased?

Trouble rendering tamil characters (indic)
Hello, I am having trouble getting lilypond (on winxp) to display certain tamil (an indian language supported by pango-indic) characters. These are of the form in unicode as consonant+modifier which results in *one* character in the font which represents the modified consonant. I actually find *some* of these forms to work but many dont. Note that the character displays correctly in a unicode text editor (babelpad). Is this a bug in pango? I have tried lilypond 2.6.4 as well as latest 2.7 but have the same problem. 2.6 I believe uses Pango 1.4 and 2.7 I think uses Pango 2.10? To see if it is really a problem with Pango, I have installed GIMP and GTK 2.0 which also uses Pango (1.10) and tried its text editor. The text-editor is able to display the characters correctly. Only when I generate a PNG or PDF in lilypond, does the character not come out correctly. So I dont know if this means there is still a bug in Pango or how Lilypond uses it? Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Arun ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi,
p
First of all, thanks to the developers for providing this great piece of software. Now, I've searched this forum, Google, the documentation, etc, and I have not found any answers to this questions:
/pp
First, how can I put a double bar ( ||) at the beginning of my score?
/pp
Second, how can I set the linewidth for only the last line? I tried raggedlastbut it looks ugly. Can I use percentages?
/pp
Here is the .ly file:
/ppre
\version 2.6.4
\book {
\score { { \clef G_8 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'() c4 d4 e4 f4 g4 a4 b4 c'4 d'4 e'4 f'4 g'4 a'4 g'4 f'4 e'4 \break
d'4 c'4 b4 a4 g4 f4 e4 d4 \clef F_8 c4 b,4 a,4 g,4 f,4 e,4 d,4 c,4 \break
d,4 e,4 f,4 g,4 a,4 b,4 c2 \bar || } \header { piece = CM } }
}
/prep
Thanks.

Re: 2.7.26 installation
No, I didn't. I tried that now, and rpmbuild doesn't seem to be a valid command. I'll try to work around it and see what happens. Thanks.

Re: 2.7.26 installation
Okay, so I downloaded the gs8.15 rpm and it installed into /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES. Lilypond still can't find it.

Re: Roadmap to lily code
Being relatively new to Lilypond I was puzzled by the use of Scheme as a programming language. But, after reading this thread I was inspired to actually have a look at the language. I now wonder why anyone would question the choice. For Scheme is a wonderful, expressive language. I intend to pursue it! Over the years I've written hundreds of thousands of lines of Fortran, Cobol, assembly for a variety of machines, Forth, Rexx, Modula, Python. While Modula is syntactically perfect and Python, as its descendant, is pretty nearly so, they still have a rather old fashioned feel and while useful aren't particularly interesting. So my vote is keep up the good work in Scheme! Art Hixson -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: LilyPond 2.6.4-5 installation breaks Windows
Bill Welch writes: Sorry to send this directly, but it wasn't clear to me how to respond to a thread in the archive. Ok. I am copying the list. There are several ways to do this, easiest is to read the gmane.org archives http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs or post directly http://post.gmane.org/post.php?group=gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.bugs I now see that there is only a link to the static archives at gnu, and a separate post link to gmane. Anyway, what I have found about this problem is that the path entry in the registry has changed type after the Lilypond install. I'm running XP Professional, and my path is in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment. Normally it is type REG_EXPAND_SZ, but after the Lilypond install, it is simply a REG_SZ. This means that the %SystemRoot% variable (as well as other variables) aren't expanded in the path for Cmd windows and anything else that needs the Path variable. Oops, that is a silly bug. Thanks for the report, To fix this locally, I have had to copy the current value of the Path to the memory buffer, delete the entry in the registry, recreate it as a REG_EXPAND_SZ, and paste my previous value. Hopefully this will give you some clue to the original cause of the problem. Thanks for the report. Can't the type of the key be changed more easily, without cut and paste? Sorry for the inconvenience, we have no windows gurus at lilypond development.
