Hi, does this mean that I cannot input these special characters using

if "lilypond" is the script that was supplied with earlier versions,

Yes, as long as the distance between the staves is fixed. They're just

I'm not sure what you mean. Microsoft does not supply any
PDF reader, so if you had one on your machine when you
bought it, it must be the free Adobe Acrobat reader.
Of course, Adobe have an expensive version of Acrobat
as well, that can play some more tricks.
If I remember correctly, you can mark and copy a picture,
from a PDF file into MS Word also using the free reader.

If you just want to add one or a few lines of text below each
musical example, you can easily do it in a plain .ly file, as has
already been shown in a previous answer to your question
on captions. Just do something like
\score{
 ...
}
\markup{Here comes some text after the first piece }

\score{
 ...
}
\markup{Some more text }

However, if you want to typeset a text document that contains
a number of musical examples, then I would propose to use
lilypond-book together with LaTeX.

One example when you have to use \score explicitly is when you
have several scores in the same .ly file (for example several movements)
and want to specify a separate title for each of them. Then you have to
put the \header block within the corresponding \score block, so LilyPond
realizes what belongs where. Same if you want to specify the tempo used
in the MIDI file for each separate score. Example:

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
 \relative c'{ c d e f | g1 | }
 \header{ piece = "First movement" }
 \layout{}
 \midi{\tempo 4=80 }
}

\score{
 \relative c''{ g e f d  | c1 | }

Can more than header parts than "piece" be changed now?

lilypond install on Fedora Core 4

2006-01-02 Thread Arthur Dyck
I am having difficulty installing the lilypond binary on a new
installation of FC4 due to the ghostscript 8.15 dependency.  This is the
case with both 2.6 and 2.7.  I have tried installing ghostscript as per
the Install page in documentation.  My terminal program does not
recognize "rpmbuild" as a valid command so I just downloaded the rpm and
installed it.  I have also tried installing gs from source.  Lilypond
does not seem to be able to find this newer version.  Could someone who
is running lilypond on FC4 check and see where their ghostscript is
installed?  Or does someone have another suggestion as to what the issue
might be?  

Happy New Year.

You need to use an editor that is able to handle UTF-8 encoding

I don't know about the capabilities of NotePad in Windows 98, but on

Re: rests missing

2006-01-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

It seems to be some problems with the numeric font.
If you make a .ly file containing the following two lines

\version "2.6.0"
\markup{\number 0123456789 }

and process it with LilyPond, you should get an output PDF, where
the numbers 0-9 are printed in a nice bold font. My guess is that some
of the numbers are missing when you try it. Unfortunately, I don't have
any direct clue on why it fails, though.

2)

A more or less identical problem is shown in \time

In
\time 3/4 only the "4" is shown in it's proper place,

in stead of a "3" above it there is a blank place



What can I do about it?

Inputting special symbols

2006-01-02 Thread liang seng
Hi, I'm using Lilypond 2.7.x series for Windows 98 and I would like to know 
how can we input special characters into Lilypond using standard word 
editors like Notepad? I would like to put the word "piu forte" in a text 
markup, but with a backslash on top of the u in "piu". I tried using Alt+151 
(the symbol ù) to enter that character but it was not shown in the pdf 
output. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Another Stanza problem

Thus I wanted to have a blank line as a separator between the alto-

written in white (= invisible) at this place. Is there another, 
perhaps more elegant way to achieve that?



Try something like

\score{
<<
 ...
 \lyricsto "alto" \new Lyrics \with {minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-4.0 . 
2.4) } \altolyricsIII

 \lyricsto "tenor" \new Lyrics \tenorlyricsI
 ...
>>
}

See  "10.1.6 Vertical spacing" in the manual for more details. The default
minimumVerticalExtent for Lyrics is (-1.2 . 2.4).

Re: Unable to tie chords together in chordmode

2006-01-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

If you typeset your chords using a ChordNames context,
\new ChordNames \harmonies
then there is no support for ties. On the other hand, if you typeset the
chords using normal notes,
\new Staff \harmonies
then you will of course also get the ties. So, it really has nothing to 
do with

\chordmode per se.

I tried to add the tie engraver (the functions handling ties) to the 
ChordNames
context, but the only thing that happens is that you get rid of the 
warning.
LilyPond is still unable to print the ties, since they are connected to 
note heads.


What kind of layout did you expect for ties between chords?

Here is my chord line:

What am I doing wrong?

Re: \score

2006-01-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Each \score block corresponds to one score in the output.
What probably confuses you is that it nowadays is optional in
most situations to explicitly use \score{...}, if you don't add it
yourself, LilyPond will figure out anyway.

One example when you have to use \score explicitly is when you
have several scores in the same .ly file (for example several movements)
and want to specify a separate title for each of them. Then you have to
put the \header block within the corresponding \score block, so LilyPond
realizes what belongs where. Same if you want to specify the tempo used
in the MIDI file for each separate score. Example:

\version "2.6.0"
\score{
 \relative c'{ c d e f | g1 | }
 \header{ piece = "First movement" }
 \layout{}
 \midi{\tempo 4=80 }
}

\score{
 \relative c''{ g e f d  | c1 | }
 \header{ piece = "Second movement" }
 \layout{}
 \midi{\tempo 4=120 }
}

Re: percussion staves

2006-01-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Now that I see your original question, you could do something like:

\score{
<<
 \new RhythmicStaff \with {
   instrument = "cymb."
   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
   }
   { c4 c8 c  }
 \new DrumStaff \with {
   instrument = "cast."
   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #1
   }
   { c8 c4 c8 }
 \new Staff \with {
   instrument = \markup{\column { "chin. bl. h" "chin. bl. m" "chin. 
bl. l" }}

   \override StaffSymbol #'line-count = #3
   }
   \relative c''{<<{d4 d} \\ {b b} \\ {g g} >> }
>>
}

I don't really know anything about drum notation, so you probably want to
use \drummode to get the correct note heads and I included examples of
both RhythmicStaff, DrumStaff and an ordinary Staff, just to illustrate
that they are available.

Hi to all,
I searched thru docs and archives but I wasn't able to make my ideas 
clear.


I'm writing for percussions, so I was taking a look at Varèse's 
Intégrales.
Percussionist 2 has five percussions: three chinese blocks (h, m, l: 3 
lines), castanets (1 line) and a cymbals (1 line).
As a result, the staff is made up of three lines (with standard 
interline space) for chinese blocks, plus two other lines with greater 
interline space (as a standard for percussions without 5 lines staff), 
one for castanets and one for cymbals.


i.e.:

cymb.___

cast.___

chin. bl. h___
chin. bl.m___
chin. bl. l___

Is is possible to create such a staff?  Could anyone post an example?

I only know how to set the number of lines (StaffSymbol #'line-count) 
and how to change Staff's interline space (for all lines: StaffSymbol 
#'staff-space).


Thanks a lot

In addition to all answers you have already received: Maybe you want to take

Re: Percussion staves: news?

2006-01-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson
As far as I can see, there is no easy solution. You could redefine the 
function

used to print the StaffSymbol object. The default implementation,
Staff_symbol::print is done in C++, but it should be possible to do it
in Scheme as well.

Hi list,

Is it possible to create a single staff like this, with different 
interline spaces?
A possible solution in Finale is to make  some lines in staff 
invisible. Is this availlable in lily?

You can replace the #-1 by #LEFT if you find that easier to remember.
