TEX output
Hi all, I tried to get an tex-output with version 2.8.1 I tried the follwing things: I took a file from the documentation: petite-ouverture-a-danser.ly lilypond petite-ouverture-a-danser.ly --> works I get a ps and pdf output lilypond -f svg -b svg petite-ouverture-a-danser.ly -->works a get an svg-picture lilypond -f tex -b tex petite-ouverture-a-danser.ly --> failure: GNU LilyPond 2.8.1 Processing `petite-ouverture-a-danser.ly' Parsing...

Re: Musical notation of guitar chords.
I assign my fret markup to variables like this:
frIFDomSevFltNinI = \markup { \center-align {
\line { F \super \line { 7 \raise #0.5 \flat 9 } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"2;x;1;2;1;x;"
} }
frICI = \markup { \center-align {
\line { C \super \line { } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"x;3;2;o;1;o;"
} }
frIIDDimSevIII = \markup { \center-align {
\line { D \super \line { dim7 } }
\fret-diagram-terse #"x;x;3;4;3;4;"
} }
etc...
And I keep them all in a separate \include file.
Then I simply re-state those variables in a Lyrics Staff above the music
Staff with the duration number behind the variable names. By using an
\include file I can get some re-useablity of my fret board markups, and over
time build up a chord library.
Here is an example of an arrangement I did that uses this technique:
http://www.windcrestsoftware.com/Rick/DannyBoy.pdf
For the markup shown above make sure the Lyric Text context sets the word
spacing to a small value like .1 otherwise the letters will be too spread
out.
LyricText #'word-space=0.1

Re: convert-ly on windows without cygwin
What command has been set for convert-ly on your setup in Plugin Options? Bert Colin Wilding wrote: If you use LilyTools for jEdit you can run convert-ly from the Lilypond toolbar and menu.

Re: Setting up vocal scores with uniformly-spaced staves
It is really interesting the way you figured out the spacing. It helped me so far. I do a lot of SATB myself, but I do not have your experience yet. Now I have a problem with lyrics placement e. g. multiple lines of lyrics in the same stanza, or multiple lines that continue at some point with only one. See the pictures. I already launched a thread on this issue, but I only found out afterwards that you are into SATB. Please take a look at the pictures. Lots of thanks, Zoltan V.

Re: Fonts not scaled when changing font tree
I met the same problem in the same conditions (same WinXP, same lily
version). I am not sure whether it is a bug or a mistake. Maybe a
misunderstanding of the syntax. Here is the workaround (e. g.):
#(set-global-staff-size 13)
\paper {
myStaffSize = #13
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree "Warnock Pro Caption"
"Myriad Pro"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ myStaffSize 20)))
Notice that the values (here 13) in #(set-global-staff-size 13) and
myStaffSize = #13 have to be the same. Now the fonts should be scaled
properly. I already typeset a few nice scores this way.
Cheers,
Zoltan.

Stacking up lyrics in same stanza
My problem is about stacking up lyrics in the same stanza, bracketing them and vertically adjusting the stanza number. See picture. I played around with a lot of things for days, but I did not find any serios workaround.

I've > read that a DOS prompt is not the right way, and a simple or double click on > it does not allow me to inform it which file I want to convert. Hi, I solved my problems with LilyPond under WinXP installing Python 2.4. I had problems with lilypond-book actually, but I think the same could fix your problem with convert-ly. One recommendation: Don't install anything that you want to run from DOS prompt into \Program Files\. The space in the directory name causes problems. I installed LilyPond as well as Python into the root directory and becam e a happy user.
