Cadenza question

[Rick Hogg]

How do I get my cadenzas to maintain bar numbers?  LilyPond halts numbering bars until after I turn off the cadenza, and I don't want that.  Example:bar 55 | cadenza | bar 56I want:bar 55 | (bar 56 cadenza) | bar 57Thanks in advance!

The Scheme Programming Language [1] and Teach Yourself Scheme in Fixnum
Days [2] are available online and are good, fast-paced introductions to
scheme if you already know how to program.

How to Design Programs [3] is a more general book, and like SICP [4] has
more to do with ideas about process and computation then with the
language itself (i.e. syntax and the like). if you know how to program,
HTDP may be a litte boring, but SICP will be mind blowing if you are an
experienced programmer.

I was about to ask the same question.
As it happens, this is part of an example in 9.2.6 Defining new 
contexts.  You should be able to figure out how to extract the 
portions that you need.
Thanks.   It looks like a bit of work but less than what I did to solve 
this on my own.


Great new manual!!!  Thanks for all of your work!

To Trent:
You need to understand that a scheme form preceded by a quote (that's
called a quoted form) is not evaluated. Thus, something like 
'(var1 . var2) evaluates to that, (var1 . var2), eg a cons cell
containing two symbols, var1 and var2. But what you want is a cons cell
with two numbers, the value of the variables var1 and var2. So you
should not quote the form, so that the variables should be evalutated.
Instead, you make the cons cell using the function `cons':
  (cons var1 var2) ==> (3 . 6) 
supposing that var1 and var2 respectively evaluate to 3 and 6.

  manBeam = 
  #(define-music-function (parser location beg end)
  (number? number?)
#{ \once \override Beam #'positions = #(cons $beg $end) #})

  \manBeam #3 #6

or:

  manBeam =
  #(define-music-function (parser location beg-end)
  (cons?)
#{ \once \override Beam #'positions = #$beg-end #})

  \manBeam #'(3 . 6)
  \manBeam #(cons 3 6)

Has any one built the midi2ly and etf2ly tools for PPC MacOSX 10.4.6

I think it's best to use the latest stable version if it's available for 
your system. I'm on Linux and my distro installs version 2.6.3 as a 
systemwide default, but I was able to download the latest 2.8.x which 
installed itself in my home directory and that works really well. I see 
there is package available for OS/X here:

Two questions: slashes and rhythmic cues

[Stan Mulder]

Let me try posting this again. Previously post got attached to another 
thread...


I've read the archives and see people discussing this but not sure 
anything was decided. I'm writing a jazz lead sheet and need slashes 
with chords over them. It's the slashes that I'm having a problem with. 
I found that I could use the following:


\override NoteHead #'style = #'slash
\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
g4 g g g
g g g g

But when the parts are transposed the slashes move all over the place 
for the Bb and Eb instruments. Is there are way to keep the slash 
exactly on a certain note and ignore the transposition? Also, that 
symbol should not be a playable one. Is there a way to differentiate it 
from a repeat slash marking so as to not have it play in the midi output?




The second question regards rhythmic cues, smallish notes that would 
appear in or above the staff indicating rhythmic "hits" or "kicks", but 
again this would only indicate rhythm and not be a playable note in midi 
output. It should also not be transposable.

Alignment bug?

[lilypond]

I've just copied the "commonly tweaked properties" alignment example from p174 
of the 2.8 manual (section 8.1.3)

If I don't alter the alignment, my text is centre-justified. If I copy the 
example exactly, my text is right-justified, as expected.

If I change "right" to "left", it goes back to the centre default!

(Using the ?current cygwin version, 2.6.4)

That's weird! Are you sure that you run latex and not pdflatex
(apparently, since you say that you convert from .tex to .dvi
also otherwise)? What TeX installation do you use? I have only
tried MikTeX on Windows, but TeXLive should work as well,
as far as I can understand.

as far as just converting from .tex to .dvi to .ps to .pdf, I do that 
all the time without trouble.  Thanks again for your help and time.

Just follow the instructions in the manual on how to

ps2pdf, you also need to add
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\share\ghostscript\8.50\lib\

However, with lilypond-book there are a couple of additional

- The python version included with LilyPond will still interfere,
so you
have to
  run lilypond-book using the following command
python "C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond-book.py" -o out

I agree.

<< { } { } >>  allowed me a lot of freedom in creating musical shortcuts.

The next problem I sometimes miss is the ability to add a slur to a 
shortcut in a similar manner.

In 5.4 Advanced tweaks with scheme gives some information about using

Add another variable to the (parser location foo bar), and add a 
section (number? number?).

I don't imagine I have converted everything correctly but it should
demonstrate the principles.  I didn't know where they lyrics are meant to
go, so I have just included examples of how to move them around.  You could
usefully enter a key signature, too, I think.

Are you sure you want the chords displayed in full, 

Re: Using Scheme

[Trent Johnston]

Thanks for your help Paul, but I was actually looking at Beam settings

a way to simplify \once \override Beam #'positions = #'( number . number )

I used the padText as an example but couldn't get it to work with the above
example...

Yes, I see your point.

What I meant, though, was that you cannot attach the markup *directly* to a
variable, e.g. as

 \gDown^\markup{ .. }

at least, I don't think you can.  It didn't work for me with the \downbow
anyway.
