RE: Change Chord Name Font Size
Please read again what I wrote!
To be more specific, create a file test.ly containing the following
lines:
\version "2.0.0"
\context ChordNames {
\property ChordNames.chordChanges = ##t
\property ChordNames . ChordName \override
#'font-relative-size = #+3
Next, run the following command (from your current LilyPond installation):
convert-ly -e test.ly
Then, look into the file, which has been updated to the syntax of your
current LilyPond version. For example, when I do it for version 2.7.36,
I get
\context ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\override ChordName #'font-size = #6
}
/Mats
Quoting Kamal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
As Mats said, I tried the \property lines, but it gave error in lilypond
2.6.
Isn't there an easier way to find what how to change the chord font size
than to get an old version of lilypond, & then convert to to 2.6 especially
that I'm working on Windows & I didn't find an already compiled binary of
lilypond 2.0 or less for Windows?
Thank you.

\remove "Timing_engraver" question
Hi!
I read a section about adding/removing plug-ins. What I wanted was to remove
Time_signature_engraver, using \with key.
But I don't really understand where should I put it in my code (attached).
Though I tried different places, it still gives me errors, I guess I'm doing
something wrong :D
Thanks a lot!

System spacing
Folks,
I have a score in which the first two systems each have 3 verses (lines of
text) underneath, and the next three systems are the chorus and have only one
line. Each system is one line of music.
I saw that there is some control over the inter-system spacing, but it is not
clear to me how to modify the spacing of the chorus such that it the chorus
lines only take up the space required, rather than the same space that the
verses do...
Thanks,
Ruth
The outer level of the .ly file is as follows. I can post more if needed:
\score {
%\midi { \tempo 4=72 }
<<
\context Voice = mel {
\repeat volta 3 {
\verseMusic \bar "" \break
\chorusMusic
}
}
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics { \verseOne \chorusText }
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics \verseTwo
\lyricsto mel \new Lyrics \verseThree

Re: al niente / de niente - was Re: (no subject)
Mats Bengtsson wrote: Quoting Marcus Macauley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: As an alternative to the second method -- and a perhaps more conventional one, recommended by Kurt Stone -- niente can be notated not with the dynamic letter "n" but with the italic "n." (this time with a period). This should be possible to do now, but I can't figure out how to switch off the boldface: n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text #:italic "n." ) ) % This makes the text bold-italic. n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text "n." ) ) % In fact, even this makes it bold-italic, as if that's the default text font style. Why? And how to switch it off? The simple reason is that dynamics by default have bold face turned on. For situations like these, where you want tobe sure to first reset all font related properties before starting applying your own preferences, the markup command \normal-text was introduced in version 2.7. So you should be able to do something like n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:normal-text #:italic "n." ) ) Ah, yes, that works. The last thing I saw on in the email list archives about it was a comment, by you, I think, that a command like \normal-text would be useful (it presumably hadn't been implemented at the time). Another way to do it, I've found, is... n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text #:medium #:italic "n.") ) ...where #:medium is the regular (not-bold) weight of the font. (Likewise, as Han-Wen pointed out on lilypond-devel, you can use #:upright to cancel #:italic). I like your solution better, though - it could conceivably be used where you're unsure of what the default font style is, and you just want to clear all formatting and then specify only what you want. Thanks for the tip. Marcus ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Increase minimum word spacing?
Folks, I have a score in which the words to the verse have become very close together, such that it is hard to read. Is there a control that specifies the minimum inter-word space that is acceptable?

Re: Question about repeat alternatives
Hi folks!
I've never seen (or can remember) a repeat with only the last repeat having
an alternative. But if there is I'll be interested in how this should look
liek, esp. where are repeat bars and volta brackets.
> \repeat volta 4 { ... }
> \alternative { {} { ... } }
I think the problem is with the first empty curly braces pair inside the
alternative definition. As far as I understand syntax this defines an empty
list, which I would consider is ignored by lilypond.
You can tweak the number shown in volta brackets like described here
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.7/Documentation/user/lilypond/Manual-repeat-commands.html#index-VoltaBracket-445,
but it might take some more manual volta definiton, too.
(I see something which looks like what you desire there, but looks quite
strange to me.)
My suggestion: Rewrite the repeat and take the last (or more) bar for the
every alternative with the additional music inside forth alternative.
Kind regards,
Thies Albrecht

Re: Problem with init.ly file
Quoting Ben <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I've been working on a number of small compositions, and every time I try to create a PDF with Lilypond 2.6.5 (Windows), I get a problem during "Parsing." The program tells me that there is one of several problems with init.ly. They vary from "error: syntax error, unexpected SCM_T" to " error: syntax error, unexpected $end". What do these mean, and what am I doing wrong? It often means that you have a syntax error in your own .ly file that confuses the program so much that it actually thinks the error is somewhere else. Also, how do I create chords, properly? I'm having no end of trouble from this. Here's what the program gives me: error: syntax error, unexpected DIGIT, expecting DRUM_PITCH or NOTENAME_PITCH or '>' R2.*4 ^\accent r8 ^( ^\accent) r Please help me! If you read more carefully in the manual, you will learn that the syntax for chords is 8 i.e. the duration should be specified for the full chord, not for the individual notes. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: How to modify the space between the notes?
If we had a full example for every property mentioned in the manual, it
would be 3 times as large. Therefore, the general principles
for how to set properties are described in the chapter on "Changing
Defaults". What could be clarified in Sect. 10.5.6 is that all the
properties listed there are properties of the SpacingSpanner layout
object. Therefore, the examples shown in the section work well as
templates for what you want to do, just replace "uniform-stretching"
or strict-note-spacing by "spacing-increment" and find out from the
chapter on Changing defaults how to specify numerical arguments.
For beginners like you, it's also a very good idea to search the
mailing list archives and the Lilypond Snippet Repository
(see www.lilypond.org -> Documentation) for examples that use
exactly the property you want to use. I'm sure that you will find
lots of examples.
