Staff separation suddenly doubles under \score and raggedbottom again!
Sorry, this is a complicated request!
I decided to uses bar numbers every 5 measures in a \book so added this
variable (right from the manual) to each piece:
barNumbers = {
\override Score.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-invisible
\set Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 5)
\override Score.BarNumber #'font-size = #-2.5
\override Score.BarNumber #'padding = #2.2
\override Score.BarNumber #'print-function
= #(make-stencil-boxer 0.1 0.25 Text_interface::print)
}
The small padding was necessary to avoid collisions with other text that
occasionally needed to be placed above notes.
Now, the staff separation for the inner pieces has more than doubled
taking up too many pages. The first and last pieces are spaced normally.
\layout{ betweensystemspace = 5\mm } doesn't do anything.
>>This only happens when \book is used. <<
I reported before that one of the pieces is very short but needs to be
on its own page to avoid bad page turns. Raggedbottom did not work. I
had patched this with invisible measures, but the above change to bar
numbering ruined that and I need ragged bottom to work. It is clearly
documented and supposed to be a stable feature. However, I didn't
receive a clear answer before.
I apologize for whining about this but I've recompiled this mess over a
hundred ways using everything I can understand from the documentation
(with the exception of Scheme hacks which I don't understand yet). I
had hoped to have this and similar works completed for tomorrow's
rehearsal. The score is really simple and if anyone would be willing to
help, I'd be happy to send them the entire text.

Unfortunately, the threshold for understanding how Scheme works in lilypond is rather high (or, at least it was for me). As soon as a #() expression is found in a ly file, it is evaluated (this happens _while_ the file is parsed). So in this case, what you really want to store in a variable, is a _function_ which sets the option accordingly: noPnC = #(def-music-function (parser location) (ly:set-option ...)) When \noPnC is found in the score, that function will be called, and the option will be set. -- Erik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

crescendo ruins MIDI file
I have an example in which the insertion of a crescendo in the music causes the generated MIDI file to be bad. Removing the crescendo fixes the problem. Is this a known problem? I'm using version 2.7.17 on Windows. A second thing: \< and \f don't work the same way in jEdit as \p. It looks like \p is the one that is correct. thanks -- - Jimmy Wilkinson| Professor of Computer Science [EMAIL PROTECTED] | The College of Charleston (843) 953-8160 | Charleston SC29424 http://www.cs.cofc.edu/~jimmy If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be "profectionist". ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Aligning ancient and modern music
I am trying to typeset a piece in both ancient music (gregorian chant) and modern notation. Is it possible to align notes in the two notations?

Re: faster lilypond rendering
I've found that if you put: #(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f) at the top of the file, it will render OK in GSView, so I guess that area is the first place to look for the offending postscript.

Defining shortcuts for scheme code
Hi everybody!
To prevent having to use extensive scheme code inside my score I prefer
to define shortcuts for often used code snippets, e.g. when setting
ottavation on and off.
In the following code example Point'n'click is turned off also IMHO I
have only defined the shortcut without using it. Now I wonder if my way
of defining shortcuts is okay or if I've misunderstood the documentation
on that.
Example:
\version "2.7.34"
noPnC = #(ly:set-option 'point-and-click #f)
\relative c'' {c1}

Alignment of Staff.instrument (v.2.7.34-1, WinXP)
Hi everybody!
Using v2.7.34-1 on WinXP Staff.instrument markups of different staves
are aligned to their right and not to their left, like in former
versions. Has this behaviour been and changed and can be tuned
individually or is it supoosed to be a bug?
Example:
\version "2.7.34"
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {"lng"}
\relative c'' {c1}
}
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrument = \markup {"short"}
\relative c'' {c1}
}
>>
}

End of example

Re: symphonic, continuos movements, percussion, midi
Basically, what you are doing is
\score{
{ \mark ...
<<
\context StaffGroup ...
...
>>
}
}
This means that you first typeset the mark, then start setting up the
StaffGroup with a number of Staffs. What happens is that LilyPond
needs at least a Staff to be able to handle the \mark command, therefore
it creates one as soon as it sees the \mark command.
The simple solution is to move your \mark command into one of your
Staffs, for example
thevineI= {
<<
\context StaffGroup ="madeiras"
<<
\new Staff {\mark ... \fluteINotes }

Well, the task of reduce a symphonic piece to a "short but complete example"
was finally done. Nevertheless, the ensemble was reduced to flute and oboe
only, and just the first section was quoted bellow (because I don't know yet
how to attach a .ly file to this post). You will witness the strange effect of
a ghost staff (probably a side effect from self-teaching ;)
