Re: LilyPond 2.7.32 File Sizes
J L wrote: Hi, I think that it has been mentioned several times before that the current LilyPond CVS versions produce PDF's with large file sizes. The culprit is the embedding of some fonts roughly 20 to 30 times (or once for each character that uses that font?). However, LilyPond's own Feta font doesn't seem to be one of these. Pango problems??? can you test some more, what determines how often it is embedded? I would expect once for each separate text string. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Lilypond error for 3 eighth notes
The grouping which Lilypond chooses by default in this case (as in most
others) is the standard way of grouping such a figure in common practice
instrumental music. In 2/4 and 3/4, any consecutive eighth-notes within a
measure are typically beamed together (with a few exceptions).
Incidentally, there are some psychological advantages to following the
traditional notational practice in this case, as well. That said, neither
notation is confusing enough to hinder performance. All in all, there is
no right or wrong, but breaking with tradition will not win you anything
here. It may even be slightly disadvantageous.

The three eighth notes are grouped together. I have no idea why this
should
happen, because they aren't triplets. If the time signature were 6/8
then it
might make sense, but otherwise I can't imagine why.
I guess there isn't any right or wrong way to group 8th notes, but
this
is a strange choice for the default. I'm using version 2.6.5.1.

Alright, I managed to put the lyrics of the bass above the clef in the
refrain. But I couldn't force it to go further up:
The 3rd system (measure 7) has these lyrics settings:

Bass words - Trust in the One
I guess different lyrics contexts can't overlap, so what should I do? I
tried Lyrics.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent, but it didn't help.
The easiest trick is to simply use the same lyrics context twice.
If you replace your \score section with the following, you will
get the bass words of the refrain exactly on the same line
(since it's the same Lyrics context) as the third verse.
\score {
\context ChoirStaff
{ \staffSoprano
\context Lyrics = firstline { \lyricsto melodySop \verseI }
\context Lyrics = secondline { \lyricsto melodySop \verseII }
\context Lyrics = thirdline { \lyricsto melodySop \verseIII }
\context Lyrics = fourthline { \lyricsto melodySop \verse }
\staffTenorSaxophone
\context Lyrics = thirdline { \lyricsto baixo \basi }
\context Lyrics = thirdline { \lyricsto chrd \tebai }
\context Lyrics = thirdline { \lyricsto baixoii \basii }
\context Lyrics = thirdline { \lyricsto chrdii \tebaii }
}

\layout {

raggedbottom
I have a \book in which one of the scores is only three staves long. These got spread across the page, of course, and I wanted to have a more normal spacing. Rummaging around in the archives brought up the raggedbottom and raggedlastbottom concepts. I tried both of these, both in \paper and \layout, both true and false -- nothing. I got what I wanted by a rather ugly hack which took a lot of research time: b4. c8 f,2 g2 c2. ~ c2 \bar :|% end of piece \stopStaff \override Staff.Clef #'transparent = ##t \override Staff.KeySignature #'transparent = ##t \override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #all-invisible s1*200 %lots of padding Isn't there a more elegant way? And what's the meaning of the ragged bits if they don't do anything in this situation? Arthur -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: alignAboveContext problems together with \lyricsto
Thank you very very much! This solution made me much more enthused about
Lilypond's capabilities.
I thought I'd have to resort to hiding notes or something. Your solution is
much easier.

And what's the meaning of the ragged bits if they don't do anything in this situation? You didn't tell us what version you are running. I believe there have been times when raggedbottom hasn't been correct. I just tested a 3 line example (with 'raggedbottom = ##t' in the paper block) with 2.7.33 and it worked perfectly. I have also found in the past that if there are other errors in your code (Lilypond input) raggedbottom gives undesired results.
