Re: Sharing rest mark when sharing it in ChoirStaff

2006-01-03 Thread Caio Tiago Oliveira

Caio Tiago Oliveira, 04-01-2006 01:31:

Well, my subject may be too specific, but my doubt is just it:
I'm using the template from the 2.6.6 documentation for a ChoirStaff.
I can use it to put the rests without problem.
But I want only one rest mark when both voices (e.g.: altos and 
sopranos) share it, instead of putting the soprano's rest one octave above.


The same for dynamic marks...

Is there any simple option about that or do I have to edit it manually?




I've found a workaround, I use spaces instead of rests and specify the 
rests before. But this way I've to do a lot of calculus.


I would prefer an easier way, if possible.

Hi, do you mean that on Windows XP, the word editors (like Notepad) are able 
to save text files in utf-8 code? (Since I don't have WinXP, I don't know if 
that is possible) I may have to borrow a colleague's computer with Win XP to

Hi all,

The header field "texttranslator" is mentioned in the Lilypond

Problems with gregorian neumes ligatures

2006-01-03 Thread Am�lie Aubut

Hello,

I am a beginner at Lilypond (this is my second transcription) and I am 
encountering some (3 majors) difficulties with gregorian chant notation 
(neumes ligatures).  Let's try to be clear:


1-   PORRECTUS:  The last note of every porrectus that end with an ascending 
second (for exemple: g f g) is too close from the "line" of the porrectus, 
making the last note head unclear.  Maybe I could make the staves bigger 
without changing the size of the neumes? Would that be a solution? (and how 
do I do that?)


2-   DOTS:   Dots inside a ligature are too close to the next note heads.  I 
tried to add skips after the dotted notes, but it had no effect.


3-   ICTUS:   At two places (over the words "(manum) tuam" and "(scientia 
tua) alleluia", the ictus does not appear under the note it is assigned to.


Besides that, I am quite happy with the results.  I hope someone can help me 
to make it perfect!  Thank you and happy new year to everyone!

Does that also solve the problem that I cannot compile Lilypond because 
there is a segmentation-fault during the compilation on my machine 
running mandriva 2006 standard install of Lilypond-2.7.25 and -2.7.26.

There are a lot of messages beginning with Too many bits found, which 
comes from an edited tail of the error-log of make in 2.7.25.

Too many bits found when loading character XXX warning: /usr/bin/gf2pbm: 
command exited with value 512 (ignored)

Strange, my previous expierience was that the compilation was smooth

I hope this is possible, but how?
 

I usually make each part a separate file. at least the portrait parts 
and the landscape parts could be separate files.  I have one or more 
files that contain the music and \include those in the files that do the 
layout.

Re: Changing polyphonic per-voice rest position

2006-01-03 Thread Nicholas Bailey

On 3 Jan 2006, at 10:42 am, Maarten Storm wrote:


You could do

\override Rest #'staff-position = #x

where x is a number indicating the position on the staff. Positive 
above the middle line, negative under it.

You can find a good example in the regression tests.


Ah, I see, you put it in the polyphonic voice and it really does only 
change the rest for that voice. I was using loads of << ... \\ ... >> 
constructs, rather than
typing four separate parts like you would with a string quartet or four 
voices. Then I'd put the override at the top of the score where of 
course it didn't work, so I went off on the tangent of trying to get 
something like \override VoiceOne.Rest ... to work (which of course I 
couldn't). Thanks for your help with this.


Actually, I think the explicit positioning with eg b'2\rest might be 
the thing. The reason is that after typesetting, I'm running the whole 
lot through a lex program to convert it to 19-divisions of the octave 
(cis != des) which will then be played on a retuned MIDI keyboard so 
that each octave covers an octave and a fifth of keys. So if I use the 
explicit placement for all the rests, there won't be any nasty 
surprises when the version with scordatura tuning version for keyboard 
(?!) is typeset.


All this is very unlikely to make any sense at the moment, but I urge 
people to come along to the gig if they are interested and around at 
the time...


http://markov.music.gla.ac.uk/cmt-wiki/NextSeminar#nism

If anyone is interested in the 19-divisions-of-the-octave microtonality 
stuff, maybe they can email me off list and I'll send them some 
resources.


One final tiny little point of interest. I've noticed that the rest 
placement is actually much worse in 2.6 (specifically 2.6.3 debian 
unstable) than 2.4 on my powerbook, so that there are collisions with 
rests in addition the eccentric placement.


The attached snippet shows what I mean. In the first bar, the b 
semibreve collides with the minim rest in (the implicit) voiceTwo.


Also, just a very very minor thing, but the braces at the left hand 
side of the staff have increased in size since 2.4. This looks fine, 
but they collide with the bar numbers now, so you have to increase 
their offset to generate really nice output. (I think I know how yo do 
this).


I notice I'm a few minor revisions behind the stable release, I'm just 
using what's in the debian unstable branch. Here're the first three 
bars anyway, with the collision in bar 1 and the very high rest 
placement in bar 3.


When I've got the whole thing sorted, I'll put it on Mutopia or 
something... I wonder how many people have ill-tempered keyboards so 
they can play it though? :)

Re: Changing polyphonic per-voice rest position

2006-01-03 Thread Nicholas Bailey

Ah, I see, you put it in the polyphonic voice and it really does only 
change the rest for that voice. I was using loads of << ... \\ ... >> 
constructs, rather than
typing four separate parts like you would with a string quartet or four 
voices. Then I'd put the override at the top of the score where of 
course it didn't work, so I went off on the tangent of trying to get 
something like \override VoiceOne.Rest ... to work (which of course I 
couldn't). Thanks for your help with this.


Actually, I think the explicit positioning with eg b'2\rest might be 
the thing. The reason is that after typesetting, I'm running the whole 
lot through a lex program to convert it to 19-divisions of the octave 
(cis != des) which will then be played on a retuned MIDI keyboard so 
that each octave covers an octave and a fifth of keys. So if I use the 
explicit placement for all the rests, there won't be any nasty 
surprises when the version with scordatura tuning version for keyboard 
(?!) is typeset.


All this is very unlikely to make any sense at the moment, but I urge 
people to come along to the gig if they are interested and around at 
the time...


http://markov.music.gla.ac.uk/cmt-wiki/NextSeminar#nism

If anyone is interested in the 19-divisions-of-the-octave microtonality 
stuff, maybe they can email me off list and I'll send them some 
resources.


One final tiny little point of interest. I've noticed that the rest 
placement is actually much worse in 2.6 (specifically 2.6.3 debian 
unstable) than 2.4 on my powerbook, so that there are collisions with 
rests in addition the eccentric placement.


The attached snippet shows what I mean. In the first bar, the b 
semibreve collides with the minim rest in (the implicit) voiceTwo.


Also, just a very very minor thing, but the braces at the left hand 
side of the staff have increased in size since 2.4. This looks fine, 
but they collide with the bar numbers now, so you have to increase 
their offset to generate really nice output. (I think I know how yo do 
this).


I notice I'm a few minor revisions behind the stable release, I'm just 
using what's in the debian unstable branch. Here're the first three 
bars anyway, with the collision in bar 1 and the very high rest 
placement in bar 3.


When I've got the whole thing sorted, I'll put it on Mutopia or 
something... I wonder how many people have ill-tempered keyboards so 
they can play it though? :)

I considered the previous behaviour a bug and "corrected" it, see

If you want the bracket also for a single stave, just do

\layout {

   \StaffGroup
 \override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #1

Textfonts on the native windows lily 2.7.26

2006-01-03 Thread anders stenberg

Hello!

Just did download & install the Windows native lilypond 2.7.26. Some of 
the new features seem great & just for my use ( the ligatures in lyrics 
and the accidentals abow staff!!!). Problem is I do not get any texts 
neighter in headings nor in lyrics. Or more precisely: what I get is  
just some of the caracters in boldfont, more or less the ones that are 
among the few needed in articulations and dynamics etc.


Did try uninstalling and reinstalling a few times but whith no differens 
what so ever. Looking into the manual didnt give me a clue of solwing 
this.  Neighter did  browsing in the  lilypond- user archive (though I 
didn't put a lot of time on it) . 
The trouble shouldn't be  in the encoding as the  files are UTF-8 
encoded  (made on jEdit but not run throug its comandconsole as I 
luckilly  retain my "old" native 2.6.5 lily so I can get a "correct" 
printout sans the new frills) .

Re: font shape

2006-01-03 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Several people have reported on the mailing list that text fonts
don't work at all in the Cygwin version of LilyPond 2.6.4, so if
it works for you when you don't have italics, then that's very good
news!

It is much easier for people on the mailing list to answer your question
if you send a small but complete example of what you tried.

The program reference for each layout object only lists the properties
that are set by default. To get the full list of all available 
properties that

can be set, you have to browse through all the interfaces listed at the
bottom of the page. For example, if you click on 
"staff-symbol-referencer-interface"

you will find the documentation of staff-position.

Re: font shape

Some messages have already been posted on that subject (cygwin font 
problem). Unfortunately, it seems there is no more cygwin expert. The 
current version on cygwin does not work properly (default font is not 
roman but sans serif).
The solution I adopted is to install the windows version and use it from 
cygwin with an alias. It works fine but I keep the cygwin version 
because there is no documention package on Windows and I like to browse 
the web doc off line. Would it be possible to make one?

Would it be possible to say "Please use the following default vertical
