Recent user trying to find out how to "mix music and text".
Hi Everyone, I'm a recent user of Lilypond and currently writing a music theory book for popular music. I've downloaded the Lilypond system since I'm needing a way to print musical examples among the text. I've gotten as far as being able to make the notes appear in the PDF format. Now I need to find out if it's possible to copy the examples from my Adobe Reader 7.0 to my Openoffice.org 2.o Writer where I'm writing the text. (This text processor is compatible with MicroSoft Word.). On the Lilypond website there is advertised "MIX MUSIC AND TEXT" and it says further: " with the lily-pond utility you can integrate music into LaTeX or HTML seamlessly". Can anyone explain to me how to achieve all of this? Thanks in advance. Rod. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

There you will find that the integration is done with LaTeX, texinfo, and html. If you are definitely using OpenOffice.org, you can probable insert pdf images into your document. For more info, you'll have to consult somebody more familiar with OOo (possibly on this mailist).

Might I recommend 8.2.4 Bar numbers? I recently added a workaround for bar numbers not occurring on the first bar (if you want those). You may wish to consult the docs for lilypond 2.9.7, instead of for lilypond 2.8. Actually, I've been wondering how to tweak these for a while. How might one turn them off altogether? How might one print them on every measure? 8.2.4 again; there's some info in 8.2.3 as well.

Hi, Mark:
I was wondering how to make an invisible time signature.
Try one of
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
This works for me:
\new Staff \with {
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
choosing the particular context (scope) from which you want to
eliminate the time signature.
Also, I'm kind of wondering if there's a better way of adding an
extra clef
half-way through the song (without facilitating the need for lots of
skips).
Not sure what you mean here -- if you mean CHANGING clefs, just use
I think he means staff here.

Voltas and automatic bars
Hi! I'm yet new to LilyPond, but I like it very much. It's great.
I have a song where a repeat starts in the middle of the measure.
LilyPond correctly counts the beats in the first alternative, but
when calculating the second alternative, it doesn't think of that
the repeat starts in the middle of a measure so it inserts a full
measure, which messes up the whole song afterwards )= What to do?
The song itself looks like this:
c4 c4 c4 c4 | c4 c4 |: c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4 {| a4 a4 :|} {d4 d4 |}
or
c4 c4 \repeat volta 2 {c4 c4 | c4 c4 c4 c4}
\alternative { {a4 a4} {d4 d4} }
Now here should be a bar line, but it instead gives a full measure.
Terribly worried,
Elmo

Re: Voltas and automatic bars
I figured out. All I had to do was to put \set Score.measurePosition = #(ly:make-moment 0 4) in the beginning of the measure. Great job, lilypond-makers! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This is a change to LilyPond since 2.6.5. I just tried to convert a file with 2.8.3 and found the same problem. The PostScript file won't open in GSview, and it won't print on a PostScript printer. Is there an easy way to configure lilypond to embed fonts in the PS file, instead of just inserting a reference to the location on disk?

Cosponsor for spacing sections: EUR 25?
Hello everyone,"Spacing sections" in Lily would be really cool. Section 10.5.6 "Horizontal spacing" in the manual comments at the bottom of the page that spacing is currently determined on a scorewide basis. This means that pieces that change character for some bars in the middle have to use a compromise spacing that may not ideally reflect the character of different sections of the score. I'm finding this to particularly be the case in the larger orchestral scores. Spacing sections will let us set spacing on a local basis over any number of measures in a score.Han-Wen estimates EUR 90 for spacing sections; Vivian Barty-Taylor and I have a total of EUR 65 so far. Would anyone be interested in adding the additional EUR 25?

It is counter-intuitive if you think of them literally as "divisions" -- in that case, it would be intuitive that 0 is zero (invisible), 1 (= 100%) is "full-size", and numbers in between are smaller than normal but bigger than invisible (e.g., 0.5 = 50% of normal size). However, if you think of 1 as "full-size" and each number, positive or negative, as ONE STEP AWAY FROM NORMAL IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SIGN (+1 = one step bigger, -1 = one step smaller), then this system suddenly "becomes intuitive". ;-) Best wishes, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user AAAltStripped.ly Description: Binary data ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Thanks, I've now got lilypond working again. So the next problem is to make this the default. I can embed this in my file with #(ly:set-option 'gs-font-load #f) Can I embed it on one of the system files? I tried putting this at the end of init.ly but this didn't work. As time goes by, it will become more important to make -dno-gs-font- load the default. I think the plan is for ghostscript to be run with -dSAFER as the default, and to only allow files to be read from the current directory. If this change happens, then lilypond's use of GS to create PDF will not work.
