Ah, I hadn't looked there yet. Anyway, when I try to compile
thefollowing snippet:

\bracket \column { 5 8 }

\time 3/2
c'2 \bar : c'4 c'4.
}
I get a compilation error:

I suppose the line

is supposed to make liypond print the new time signature ins stead of
the standard one. Why doesn't it work for me? Wrong version?

Hello all,
I am typesetting a score which has a non-standard time signature in
the original. E.g. for 4/2 it has a half note symbol in the
denominator instead of the number 2. So, it is like using
TimeSignature single-digit, but with the digit shifted up a bit
and a not symbol underneath it. Is it possible to do this in
Lilypond?
(I'm using 2.7.28 on Linux.)

Re: Markup next to a note:
None, really - I confess I hadn't learnt how to use extra-offset and wasn't aware that you could use it to get the text to appear overlaid on the staff. The Postscript comes into its own when adding a piece of text in the normal way would push other objects out of the way (as with a bracket spanning lyrics). It also allows you to do lots of clever things. But it's probably a sledgehammer to crack a nut in this case.

Doesn't that make sense only for certain printers In the current patch (which was more intended as how I solved this and not really prepared for verbatim inclusion), /ManualFeed true is set for level 2 PostScript printers if you have 9x12 paper, because there is unlikely to be a paper tray containing that paper. /ManualFeed is part of the postscript standard, and if there are printers without a manual feed feature, they should simply ignore the attribute. (Note that /ManualFeed true does not imply that there is necessarily a separate tray.

Starting up
Hello, I'm a Czech music teacher. I'm visually impaired, so creating scores graphically is very tiring for my eyes. I just downloaded and installed LilyPond 2.8.1 on WindowsXP Pro Czech edition. As a Czech user, I'd like to use Czech accented characters within text elements in LilyPond. 1. I have never used Unicode-capable text editor, all my plain-text files are stored using cp1250 codepage. I'd like to use Notepad++ (based on Scintilla engine) as an input file editor. Is there any support for this editor? How to save an input file so that CZ characters appear correctly in output? 2. Is there a way to output LilyPond score as a raster image with preset dpi value (e.g. 300, 600 dpi), so that I could create short music examples and insert them as images into Windows word processor? Thank you for your help. Tomas Valusek ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

RehearsalMark break-visibility
I've been trying to get a rehearsal mark to show up at the end of a
staff. (The object is eventually to use markup such as a fermata
here.) Here's a stripped-down example:
% begin lilypond code %
\version 2.8.1
eolMark = {
\once\override RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-visible
\mark\default
\break
}
\relative c' {
c d e f g a b c \eolMark
c b a g f e d c
}
% end lilypond code %
In this example, though, the rehearsal mark shows up at the beginning of
the second line rather than the end of the first. Any ideas?

Yes, read the manual, 8.1.3 Text marks:
To print the mark at the end of the current line, use
\override Score.RehearsalMark
#'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
I don't know why end-of-line-visible doesn't work, but since it isn't
mentioned in the manual, I don't think it's a serious problem.
You may also want to use
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right

This are great news! I really like the general behaviour of LilyPad (and it runs much better than jEdit+LilyTool on my Mac). Some small requests (perhaps everything done already): - save default size position of windows (I want editor preview side by side) - line numbering in editor window! - please make completion switchable (I find it very nasty in most editors, because it gets in your way, swallows keys, slows down typing etc.) - run convert-ly - switch off auto-preview temporarily (without going to the prefs) - increase/decrease indent of marked lines using tab/shift-tab (the actual keys don't work on every int'l keyboard) - the MIDI player doesn't understand speed settings (but I guess that's beyond your scope) Regarding auto-preview: It's really a nice feature, but doesn't yet behave just right. I'd like to start it with every save (or after the delay) and then run through (but stoppable), regardless what I type in the meantime. For it's not possible to just preview the part I work at, that would show my progress better than if I must stop typing to see anything. Perhaps you can make that behaviour configurable, too.

Re: Starting up
In the Format menu in Notepad++ you can choose the option Encode in UTF-8 that should be all that is required, hope this helps..regards,SimonOn 4/4/06, Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Quoting Tomas Valusek [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello, I'm a Czech music teacher.

Re: Starting up
Also look into installing jEdit and it's LiiyPond plug in. Make sure Sun (or IBM) Java is up-to-date on your machine first. jEdit has worked out very nicely for me, and I just started a week ago. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Starting-up-t1394437.html#a3754016 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Control space between notes?
Hi again...
1. when i use raggedright, it simply makes the bars as small as possible...
How do i use this function, so that one bar still is one whole line? (or a
half?)
2. when i use around 2 different parts, it automaticly puts sets these
two parts together with a vertical line. As if they where SATB ... Can this
be done otherwise?
Thanx..
\Jannik

Apparently, Jannik had two separate \score{...} blocks. As David pointed
out, one method is to typeset them as a single score with two staves.
Another is to use raggedright
possibly combined with the proportional engraver.

Can anyone tell me why these two different drumstaffs does not look the

I whant the notes to be under each other, but they are not... it seems
that
there are more space between the notes in 2. drumstaff?
Why is that, and how do I control the space between 4. notes, 8. notes
etc...?
You have to put and around the two parts to let Lilypond know
they're supposed to happen at the same time.

Re: Control space between notes?
I think what I would try in your case is setting each row with an invisible line of sixteenth notes. See if you have a copy of partial-blank.ly on your computer and use that as a starting point.

No pagebreaks within a score?
I'm trying to put lots of scores in a \book, and I want the output such that no score is split between two pages. I don't care if a page ends up half-full because the next score is too long to fit on the bottom of the page, but requiring my musicians to turn pages is, in this case, bad.
For the most part, the scores I'm doing are only 4 line long, and I can easily get 2 on a page, but right now lilypond is sometimes wanting to put the header and one line on the bottom of one page under another piece or two, and then the remainder on the next page, and this condition simply propagates through the book.
I've tried adding \score { \pageBreak } between scores where I know pagebreaks should fall, but it doesn't seem to do anything.Does anyone have any suggestions?

In Section 10.5.9 of the manual it suggests:
To force a new page for a new piece (in a collection of pieces or a piece in
several movements), use breakbefore in the header.
Will that work for you?

Reduce space between title and top of the page
here is the code:
\version 2.8.0
\paper
{
#(set-paper-size a4)
top-margin = 0.7\cm
}
\header
{
title = Title
composer = Composer
meter = Meter
}
\score
{
\relative
{
c''1 c2 c4 c \break
}
}
\layout {}
%%%
The problem: I can't reduce the top-margin. The source above produces a
incorrect distance between the title and the top of the page (it's
larger than 0.7 cm).
I tried to read manual about page layout and page settings, but I
can't reduce the top margin. How can I reduce this space???

The manual isn't too clear on this exact point. Use this:
\paper {
annotate-spacing = ##t
}
to find out what commands are doing what.
(this is documented under Vertical spacing, but not page
formatting. This has been fixed in CVS.

Trouble lining up Fine mark
I want the right side of the Fine mark to line up with the double bar
line, so I did
... music
\override Score.RehearsalMark
#'break-visibility = #begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
\mark \markup {\large Fine}
\bar ||
\key bf \major
... music ...
But the Fine ended up aligned to the key change signature. What am I
doing wrong? Also, does anyone have a good macro for doing Fine
marks?
