Re: lilypond-book: where are my noteheads?
It turns out that Bernie's problems appear since he has a too old version of ghostscript installed (to verify what version you have, run the command 'gs --version'). Clearly, GNU Ghostscript version 7.07 is too old. Version 8.15 should hopefully be new enough, but install the newest you can find at www.ghostscript.com. /Mats bernie arai wrote: -- Forwarded message -- From: bernie arai [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Apr 7, 2006 4:06 PM Subject: Re: lilypond-book: where are my noteheads?

Re: missing something like afterAcciaccatura
You can find the definition of the \afterGrace function in
ly/music-functions.ly. If you know your LilyPond and Scheme,
it shouldn't be hard to make a version for acciaccaturas.

Hi list,
in this documentation for 2.8 I found the \afterGrace command.
Just that I was looking for, but for acciaccatura.
But this I couldn'd find.
Or is ist wrong, to take a \afterAcciaccatura?
In a song score, which I'm typing in, there does it exist ...
Can anybody help me, please?

dynamics: integrated or separate variable?
Hey, all!
Just wanted to take an informal survey...
How many 'Ponders put their dynamics directly in the note code, e.g.,
notes = { a\pp b }
and why?
How many 'Ponders use a separate dynamics variable, e.g.,
notes = { a b }
dynamics = { \pp }
\notes \dynamics
and why?
How many 'Ponders use both systems, and what are the circumstances
that dictate the choice?
I've found using separate \dynamics to be more flexible, especially
when sections of notes repeat with different dynamics (so that you
can use \repeat on the notes but not the dynamics). However, I find
it much harder to manage the split code.
In any case, I'm happy to be shown where I'm wrong, and learn the
right way. =)
Finally, is there a way to use recent additions (e.g.,
\parallelMusic) and get the best of both worlds?
Thanks,
Kieren.

Re: Polyphony
Hello Tomas and users,
Take a look at this two examples that I think will further clarify Lilypond
capabilities in handling chords, slurs and different voices.
% This first situation is very common in songbooks:
\new Staff \relative c' { e c 2^( ~ f c 2) ^( ~ e c 1) }
\layout { ragged-right=##t }
% This second example I found in a song, I don't know if it correct notation
practice, but I managed to make Lilypond reproduce it, despite the warnings:
\version 2.8.0
\header { title = Excerpt of the song My Refuge
}
\score { \context Staff {\time 3/4 \context Voice = soop { \voiceOne
c''2.~ c''2.~ c''2.} \context Voice = con { e'2. \stemDown a'4 g' f'
\stemNeutral e'2.}
}
}

Hello,
Mats Bengtsson napsal(a):
Musically, this means that two separate music voices merge
into a single chord. Obviously, the main hackers behind LilyPond don't
think that this makes sense, musically.
Well, there are in fact two kinds of polyphony - melodic and harmonic.
Consider this little example:
%Begin code
\version 2.8.1
\relative c'
{ e1 } \\ { s2 c }
%End code
What does it sa? Are there two melodies like this?
%Begin code
%Melodic approach
\version 2.8.1
\new Staff \relative c' {
e1
}
\new Staff \relative c' {
r2 c
}
%End code
Or are there just two chords with one tied note, like this?
%Begin code
%Harmonic approach
\version 2.8.1
\relative c'
{ e2 ~ e c }
%End code
It seems that LilyPond natively supports only the melodic approach,
while in piano music the harmonic approach is far more common.

Re: dynamics: integrated or separate variable?
As a matter of practice, I put the dynamics directly in the note code, even though my philosophical preference is to separate notes from interpretation as much as possible. I'm not sure why--maybe to keep down the number of independent music parts, I guess. In any case, I'm happy to be shown where I'm wrong, and learn the right way. =) The way that gives you the output you want without driving you nuts _is_ the right way :) Geoff ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Something that gets executed right after the \include files are processed but BEFORE compilation begins, that would let you slip in dynamic source code prior to compilation, something that goes beyond simple variable assignment which seems to be happening in the midst of compilation based on the errors I'm getting. Where myFunc(arg1, arg2, arg3...) simply returns a block of source code prior to compile, essentially forming a new .ly file, that then gets compiled. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Spacing-between-adjacent-%5Clyrics--t1403767.html#a3843174 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

I try to keep as much as possible OUT of the notes list, I wish everything could be targeted to the notes by some external targeting fashion instead of embedding. It keeps my songs more maintainable, I think, and easier to re-use my templates for new songs. I'm a newer user but I think LilyPond requires one to come up with a coding philosophy/technique that works for them, more a matter of style than wrong or right. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/dynamics%3A-integrated-or-separate-variable--t1424969.html#a3844504 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

% lilypond paper default is A4
\layout {
%#(set-default-paper-size letter)
#(set-default-paper-size letter 'landscape ) }
is what I do -- in the defaults.ly file included via
\include ../defaults.ly
in all the music I do to get letter, instead of A4 paper. The
'landscape is to print across the width instead of 'portrait'.
If -- as I think is the case -- your problem is that you don't have a
concert' to replace the letter with, in paper.scm -- which is in
/pathtotoplevel/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm on linux -- you
need to add the 'concert' paper type, as below.
(define-public paper-alist
;; don't use decimals.
;; ISO 216 has a tolerance of +- 2mm
'((a7 . (cons (* 74 mm) (* 105 mm)))
(a6 . (cons (* 105 mm) (* 149 mm)))
(a5 . (cons (* 149 mm) (* 210 mm)))
(a4 . (cons (* 210 mm) (* 298 mm)))

(11x17 . (cons (* 11.0 in) (* 17.0 in)))
(concert . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in)))
))
Once you've done that,
\layout { #(set-default-paper-size concert ) }
in your defaults.ly file ought to do it.

Re: dynamics: integrated or separate variable?
Hello, Rick:
I try to keep as much as possible OUT of the notes list
Me, too! I've been thinking of using the new \parallelMusic feature
as a replacement mechanism, e.g.,
%% CODE BEGINS
\parallelMusic #'(notes dynamics)
{
g'4 g' g' g' |
s1\f |
g'4 g' g' g' |
s2\ s2\p
}
\new Staff \notes \dynamics
%% CODE ENDS
This keeps the dynamics close to the notes, but not truly
embedded (which I often find visually confusing), and allows for
such things as reusing notes with different dynamics, e.g., the code
above can be written as
%% CODE BEGINS
\parallelMusic #'(notes dynamics)
{
\repeat unfold 2 { g'4 g' g' g' } |
s1\f s2\ s2\p
}
\new Staff \notes \dynamics
%% CODE ENDS
And the 'dynamics' voice could then be reused on different staves
(e.g., in a choral piece), if desired.
However, I'm still not 100% sure of what I will eventually settle on
as my coding style...
Best,
Kieren.

Note grace at the begining of a piano piece
Hello, I'm learning to use LilyPond and as a pianist I use template introduced in section 3.2.4 of the User Manual. A piece I'm now trying to copy begins with note grace in right hand. Section 6.4.7 says: A score that starts with a \grace section needs an explicit \new Voice declaration, otherwise the main note and the grace note end up on different staves. Since I'm not (yet) familiar with the LilyPond concept of staves and voices, I'm not sure what to write to the beginning of the \upper variable in template 3.2.4. Can you help me?

Did you get a problem? I'm having a hard time duplicating this bug;
the warning in 6.4.7 might be out of date.
In any case, to modify 3.2.4 to use explicit voices, try this:
upper = \new Voice { \relative c'' {
\clef treble
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\grace{a16 b}

}

Thanks John, I did figure out how to change paper.scm and made that change long ago, in order to make Concert an available form (also Concert 9x12 is a valid form in my WindowsXP installation for printer forms). However the PDF header is still not correct, Adobe Reader still does not think it is 9x12 and is scaling weirdly. I'm not in front of it right now to detail what is happening, but all is fine until Adobe Reader gets it. So I was mostly asking about the changes needed to write the PDF header properly, not the paper.scm changes which I presume just lay out the available workspace extents for LP. Are the PDF header writing modifications that you tried still needed in future versions to make 9x12 work? thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Producing-postscript-for-custom-paper-size-%289x12%22-manuscript-paper%29--t1388381.html#a3848372 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

We've covered this -- the problem is that this is insufficient, because postcript printers need additional information about the size of the paper that LilyPond does not output.

Are the PDF header writing modifications that you tried still needed in future versions to make 9x12 work? Well, it's possible that it they may not be necessary for the special case of PDF, because of the change to %%DocumentMedia from %%DocumentPaperSizes. But certainly they are still necessary for printers. --jhawk ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
can't find voice (to attach \lyricsto)
Hello, all --
I'm trying to engrave a two-voice piece (a cappella), but I'm getting
the warning
warning: cannot find Voice `she'
What am I doing wrong? I've tried instantiating explict Staff
contexts, adding and removing quotes, using \new Lyrics or
\addlyrics, and nothing seems to solve the problem.
I thought this was exactly like the docs example... =\
Thanks,
Kieren.

Re: can't find voice (to attach \lyricsto)
I think you need to specify a \staff around the music parts, then specify the
\lyrics below the closing bracket of each staff. Here is what I am doing
and the \lyricsto is working fine for me: (I'm using 3 part polyphony
voices on a single staff, but in your case you should be able to put lyrics
below each separate staff that has a named voice.) Note in the example
below anything that begis with \var are my own variables that are set up
by a separate song-specific .ly \include file.
\score {
\new Staff \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
}
{
\clef G_8
\mark \markup{ \hspace #0 \raise #1.5 \varStyle }
\varKey
\varTime
\new Voice=voiceMelody { \voiceOne \varVoiceMelody
\oneVoice } \\
\new Voice=voiceInner

\\
\new Voice=voiceBass
{ \voiceTwo \varVoiceBass \oneVoice }
\oneVoice
}
\new Lyrics \with {
} \lyricsto voiceMelody \varLyricsOne
\new Lyrics \with {
} \lyricsto voiceMelody \varLyricsTwo
}

Hey, all!
Just wanted to take an informal survey...
How many 'Ponders put their dynamics directly in the note code, e.g.,
notes = { a\pp b }
and why?
How many 'Ponders use a separate dynamics variable, e.g.,
notes = { a b }
dynamics = { \pp }
\notes \dynamics
and why?
How many 'Ponders use both systems, and what are the circumstances that
dictate the choice?
Whilst I normally like keeping things as separate as possible, the only
time I would separate the notes and the dynamics would be as a shortcut
when setting multistaff pieces. Most of the music I set is multistaff,
but the instruments often play different dynamics. Very little time
would be saved, and things would just get confusing.
Using Point 'n' Click speeds things up when I'm making all those 'little
adjustments' when things aren't quite right.

padding before note with accidental at beginning of standard measures
[ Lilypond 2.8 ] Hello, all -- The default spacing of (i.e., padding before) notes which begin a measure and which have an accidental is, to my eye, wonderful -- but only as long as the measure begins a system, or the note is preceded by something special (e.g., time signature, key signature, clef, etc.). When the note is in a normal measure, I find the padding to be insufficient. Is there any easy way to tweak the spacing of *just* the notes which begin a measure and have an accidental on them, but the measure does not have anything else special about it? (I don't even mind tweaking every such note/measure manually, as long as the tweak placed in one Voice/Staff is carried down through the rest of the Voices/Staves automatically.) Thanks, Kieren. p.s. I've attached two screenshots, one showing a good spacing (with time signature change): and one showing bad spacings (two non-special measures in a row in the upper part): ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Old-style F clef?
Can LilyPond engrave an old-style F clef, such as the one in this Wikipedia article? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clef#The_F_clef It doesn't look like it from 7.7.4 in the manual, but I thought I might be missing something.

Re: padding before note with accidental at beginning of standard measures
Hello, all -- I think I've almost answered my own question: Is there any easy way to tweak the spacing of *just* the notes which begin a measure and have an accidental on them I'm using \once \override Score.BarLine #'space-alist = #'((first- fixed- space . 2.0)) at the end of the measure preceding the faulty measure. Unfortunately, although it now *looks* correct, I get the error programming error: unknown prefatory spacing continuing, cross fingers once per affected Staff-measure in the Score. Is there a better method than the one I'm using? If not, is this error something I can just ignore? Thanks, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
