One alternative is to switch to 2.7.28 and use the new MusicXML import (which of course only works if your ETF-compatible software supports XML export). The MusicXML import is generally better supported than ETF in the 2.7 series. If you still want to use 2.6 for its stability, then you can use only the XML import from 2.7, and switch to 2.6 for post-editing/typesetting the score; the file format should be more-or-less backward compatible. -- Erik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: etf2ly
I would generally agree, as the output of most translators is correct but barely readable. On the other hand, I hope we'll manage to get the MusicXML filter to be good enough to be able to use Finale as a front-end, and Lilypond as a back-end. If we - I mean, Han-Wen- don't, the output can still be improved up to a point where it might be ok to maintain it as is: bar numbers in comments, relative mode rather than absolute mode, line breaks on every bar, meaningful names whenever possible...

You could have a look at xml2ly: it has already a very readable output and supports a lot of useful MusicXML features (most outstanding lack is lyrics, at present). You should find a copy in the recent archives of this list - or feel free to ask for it to me directly. I've never tested it on Windows, but should be fairly trivial to have it working.

Re: score
Quoting Paul Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
With printallheaders=##t, you can use the ordinary title or
subtitle fields, otherwise you can redefine how the titles for
each subsequent score is printed, for example by
\paper {
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:piece
}
}
}
which should center the "piece" field if I'm not mistaken.
It may take me a little while to test that and I'm not sure how to
use it yet. Will that allow me to have different movement names
since \paper applies to the whole ly file?
Just add these lines at the top of your file. It redefines how all the
titles are typeset. Here comes one complete example, which also
corrects a copy/paste error in the lines I wrote above.
\paper {
scoreTitleMarkup = \markup {
\fill-line {
\fromproperty #'header:piece
}
}
}
\score{
\relative c'{c d e f}
\header{piece = "Movement 1" }
}
\score{
\relative c''{c d e f}
\header{piece = "Movement 2" }
}
\score{
\relative c'{c d e f}
\header{piece = "Movement 3" }
}
Don't worry too much about that the field is called "piece", it
could just as well have been called "movement" or something else.

a empty "piece" field make the same space as a empty \markup here on my

Please can you tell me one of the ways? Or please give me a keyword to look

Using RPM to install 2.7 ?
I'd like to install lilypond 2.7 on a Fedora Core 4 box, on which all the software is (so far!) managed by RPM. Has anyone created an RPM package of 2.7? Earlier, I tried to make a naive binary RPM using the installer script from http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/linux-x86/lilypond-2.7.28-1.linux.sh but this appears to drag in an extra copy of files from ghostscript-8.15, guile, python, freetype, pango, etc., all of which are already installed. Then, thinking I'd better do the job properly and build from source, I looked at the version 2.4 spec file from http://ccrma.stanford.edu/planetccrma/mirror/all/linux/SRPMS/lilypond-2.4.5-1.src.rpm and took fright!

\right and \left-align
Hi to all,
In markup do \right and \left-align work in the same way of
\center-align?
I mean:
\markup{\center-align { \line{temple 3} \line{2} \line{blocks}}
\markup{\right-align { \line{temple 3} \line{2} \line{blocks}}
\markup{\left-align { \line{temple 3} \line{2} \line{blocks}}
I thought so, but while \center-align behaves correctly (3 lines), the
other two commands write on the same line thus producing overlapping
lines.
What am I missing?
Thanks
