Re: MultiMeasureRest - trying to be clever ...

2006-07-04 Thread Thibaut Chevalier

First, I think you are doing a wonderful job with the manual since it is so big and complete.I
am wondering, seeing all the simple "howto" questions you answer giving
a link in the documentation, if I would not be useful to simply gather
on a page all those "howto" questions and the related links when the
answer actually *is* in the documentation. This could provide a way to
quickly find information for common questions about topics which are
clearly covered but not easy to spot in the documentation (which
sometimes is the case :)

Look at \set in the index!  This will direct you to 9.2.3.  The VERYFIRST EXAMPLE of \set involves changing a property at the Score level!Of course, for expand-limit you probably want \override instead.

lack of info in the docs, when that info is clearly *IN* the docs -- insome cases, when that info has been in the docs for years -- I reallywonder why I bother.I mean, if I stopped working on lilypond and worked at McDonalds serving
fries, I would have made over $800 in that time.  That would cover twomonths of rent.- Graham, LilyPond Documentation Editor.  For now.___lilypond-user mailing list

midi2ly

2006-07-04 Thread Philip

I'm have become familiar with the basics of this software, and am exploring some
more advanced features.  One particular interest to me was converting MIDI files
to .LY format.

I'm running the latest vershon of LilyPond on Mac OS X v. 10.4.7 on an Intel
processor.  I am also a Linux dabbler, so it was no big problem for me to
discover that midi2ly uses the terminal.  However, when I tried to run the
software, I was told that the command "midi2ly" was not found.  Is there
something I'm overlooking?  I will admit that, while I'm modestly familiar with
BASH, I haven't used it in OS X much.  Could that be the issue?

Thanks for your help.  LilyPond seems to be a very good piece of software.

Re: Problem Adding Lyrics to Poly

2006-07-04 Thread Eduardo Vieira

Hello! 
Replace this line: 
<<  \new Voice = "staffCinco" { \voiceOne { bes'4. bes8 4 } }  
{ \voiceTwo f4 f }  \oneVoice >> 

With this: 
<< { \voiceOne { bes'4. bes8 4 } }  { \voiceTwo f4 f }   >> 
\oneVoice 

Erase this line: 
\set associatedVoice = staffCinco 

*** A Good Tip: 
Checke this site: http://www.geoffhorton.com/ 
It has lots of information about working with vocal music and many hymns in 
lilypond. 
Try to adjust your score to his examples.

Lilypond store?

2006-07-04 Thread Stewart Holmes





Okay... this may seem like a strange place for 
this, but it's seem the best place to put it in order to get 
attention/opinions.
 
What I'm proposing is some kind of a collaboration 
between Lilypond users to submit their scores to an online score (the scores 
being engraved from public domain sources, etc.). The money that is made from 
the sale of scores (either pdf/ly/both files) could then be distributed in 3 
ways:
 
1) The upkeep of running the store
2) The creator of the score
3) The community
 
Number 3: A chunk of the money would go into a 
piggy bank of sorts, which would be used to, upon application, help fund 
sponsorship of Lilypond features.
 
That's me out... now let the shooting down commence 
(hopefully not).

Re: abc2ly on Windows XP


oh really?  I will check into that. 

 If not BAT scripts, then perhaps WSH or VBScript will do the trick more
nicely..I'll look into it eventually, for now I'm just typing the whole path
name.  I imagine the main problem with the BAT approach is coming up with a
truly generic solution.  Making one-off BAT scripts or even just using a
windows shortcut can solve the problem for someone on a one by one
basis..but admittedely, kind of a pain.  When I get some time I'll try to
figure out a generic solution and if/when I do I'll make sure to pass it on
to the crew for possible inclusion in the CVS.  There is a lot more that I
need to learn about both Python and Lilypond before I can consider more at
this time.

Re: Python scripts on WindowsXP, was: abc2ly on Windows XP


Dewdman42 wrote:


Trent,

When I first installed 2.9.9 I had this problem a lot too.  I found that if
I ran the script as follows from the windows command line:

  python C:\my_full_path\musicxml2ly.py [options]

That it worked fine.  The trick was using the full path name of the python
script.  Don't ask me why.  I'm sure this must be an environment issue and
I'm willing to bet that setting something in the ENV will fix this issue,
perhaps an addition to PATH or some python related env variable.  I honestly
don't know. 


I haven't tried any 2.9.x version on Windows yet, but it seems
very strange that this trick should solve any problems, since
the LilyPond installer puts the LilyPond bin\ directory first in the
PATH environment variable, which would imply that your command
runs the python.exe version that's included in the LilyPond
package, just as would be done if you ran the musicxml2ly
commend directly. (However, I know that the hackers have
been fiddling around with how a script knows where it's
located, so there may very well be a difference between
versions 2.8 and 2.9 and between different 2.9.x versions).


But using the full path of the py script seemed to solve that
issue.  I also had to run it from the lilypond dir...I didn?t try anywhere
else yet. 


Then, why do you say you "had to"? Sorry to sound sarcastic,
but this sound like complete nonsense to me!


I really think that trying all the different versions of lilypond
is not the answer for you.  It?s a windows env thing.  Unfortunately, it
seems the windows version of Lilypond is really just a minimal port..the
software seems to work, but some installation issues and env issues such as
this are, I believe, fixable under windows, but will require some sleuthing. 
It would definitely be nice if the windows lilyond installer took care of it

already.
 


I know that the main hackers would be more than happy if
anybody with Windows competence could assist them with
these issues.

Re: Left AND Right aligning RehearsalMarks.


When you include an example of your .ly code, please always
make sure that you include a full example that anyone else
can run directly through LilyPond. It's very hard to guess
exactly how you used your variables \regrainmelody and
\versonemelody, not to mention that it takes time.


Bryan Murdaugh wrote:


I've seen documentation and support answers that talk about how to right align
marks (like the proper placement of a 'Fine' mark).  What I cannot figure out
after hours of tinkering and tweaking and slamming my head into the desk is how
to get a left-aligned rehearsal mark (like a segno) and a right-aligned
rehearsal mark (like a fine) in the same bar line.



First of all, you cannot have two different \mark directives
on the same bar line, so you would probably need a
\markup{...} to produce the two lines of marks with a
single \mark directive. This combined markup would then
have to be aligned to the bar line in some way.


 What am I doing wrong?  It
would take 50 pages to paste everything I've tried, but here is a snippet of the
latest attempt:

(NOTE: I want to make the Segno left aligned and the "to Verses" right aligned.)
 


As far as I can see, you don't have two \marks on the same
bar line here, so I probably missed what your real problem
is.

Re: Ossia fragments in 2.8.2


Check the rhythm of the different staves. It seems that
your StaffRiffs doesn't have the 2/4 bar that's in the
other staves. That's why LilyPond doesn't manage to
break the last score line.

convert-ly.py and python.exe (and/or python2.4.exe?).  Documented?
 


There's no need to be in that directory, since the installer
sets the $PATH. Just open a command prompt, change
folder to your working folder and run convert-ly.

Re: Problem Adding Lyrics to Poly


What is the problem? I just tried your file with the latest
stable version, 2.8.5, and it seems to print the lyrics.
I hope you know that versions 2.9.x are development versions
that typically have more bugs than the stable versions 2.8.x.
So, for any serious typesetting, I strongly suggest to stick to the
stable version.

Your problem above is that you cannot refer to the font

The font handling has changed completely in version 2.6 and
newer, so you now have to specify fonts by their name as they
are known to Pango/FontConfig, not by the name of the font
file. The point I tried to make in one of my earlier emails was
that it seems that Pango/FontConfig doesn't recognize any
fonts from MikTeX, for example (in Windows) and even though
the question has popped up a number of times on the mailing
list, nobody has provided any solution. So, don't spend
too much time on figuring out exactly what TeX font you want,
unless you know how to configure Pango/FontConfig to access
it.



Use the link provided earlier to get the corresponding type1 fonts.

** I'm font-challenged.  Other than the links you have provided, can you

Just as most other people on the list, I don't have access to
an installation of LilyPond 2.4 anymore and I have forgot many
of the details. However, I remember that Han-Wen had made
his own Type1 version of the ecrm fonts (available in the
ec-fonts-mftraced package). The mapping from font properties
to the name of the font file was done in the file scm/font.scm.

What, like this?
http://lilypond.org/web/documentation

If you're complaining about scattered docs, I generally suggest looking 
at the latest ones, since I don't update the docs for 2.6 any more.



But having used this index in an effort to learn the Lily code I have found in 
almost
every case there is not enough information there to get the job actually done.  
For example the very first thing (actually 2nd) is scheme tutorial..


For the purpose of this discussion, I'm only talking about the latest 
online docs, 2.9.10.


- scheme tutorial is tucked away in appendix B.


But in all honesty it's almost all Greek to me, particularly when the first 
think
I might want to do is put the title on a piece.


- tutorial, 2.15 adding titles.  How is that hard to find?

- main docs, 10.2.1 creating titles.

- index, "title" -> 10.2.1.


Here is a basic template for for a Lilycode Lead Sheet:


- templates are appendix D.


To be frank the documentation just isn't simple enough.  There is far too much 
stuff
to wade through to just enter the name of a piece, and more over as a computer 
program,
Lilypond isn't exactly expeditious.  


That's why we have a tutorial.  Do you have any suggestions as to how to 
modify the tutorial?



I would think that you would start out with a single melody, then go to a duet

simple piano piece, and finally an orchestral score.  Figured bass would be a

lilypond-user@gnu.org
http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm sorry, but I accidentally deleted the original message where you asked for
suggestions
for improving documentation. My feeling is that the documentation is very jumpy
and scattered on any given topic. For example I have been using the index, or
at
least this index:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/LilyPond-index.html#LilyPond-index

Which I now see is for 2.8 even though I was running 2.6. So just off the bat,
maybe there should be a pointer (link) to the various versions of the
documentation.
Because it's only now that I 1st realize the documentation wasn't actually
intended
for me.

But having used this index in an effort to learn the Lily code I have found in
almost
every case there is not enough information there to get the job actually done.
For example the very first thing (actually 2nd) is scheme tutorial..

But in all honesty it's almost all Greek to me, particularly when the first
think
I might want to do is put the title on a piece. So If I were to write
documentation,
I would Start with something like. "How to notate a Lead sheet in Lilycode"

Here is a basic template for for a Lilycode Lead Sheet:

1. The title is included or placed into the header along with the key of the
piece and the time signature:

Titles are Enclosed in Quotes for example: \title = "This is the Title"

But what you have is:

\paper {
line-width = 9.0\cm
paper-height = 10.0\cm
}

\book {
\header {
dedication = "dedicated to me"
title = \markup \center-align { "Title first line" "Title
second line,
longer" }

and a whole lot more.

To be frank the documentation just isn't simple enough. There is far too much
stuff
to wade through to just enter the name of a piece, and more over as a computer
program,
Lilypond isn't exactly expeditious.

I think the documentation needs to be tied to templates which can just be filled
in and the templates need to be full of comments which explain the use of the
code.

Really Lilypond needs a complete Guide book on how to go about building a
composition,
because I can assure you that almost every little step turns out to be pure hell
as it takes hours and hours to learn or do the simplest thing.

I would think that you would start out with a single melody, then go to a duet
or
simple piano piece, and finally an orchestral score. Figured bass would be a
separate
categories

That's why I think Lilypond needs to in some way be combined with Open Office so
that most textual notations are just put in with a word processor over the top
of
the musical staves.

Whatever the case, documentation for getting started needs to be based on very
useful
simplistic, but complete templates that have most of the elements of standard
music
composition and notation. I'm not really interested in how to deal with 7/10
time
or multiple colored instrumental lines on a single staff. I would rather just

Re: Suggested Example

2006-07-04 Thread joelinux

I suggest an example of "Three Blind Mice" with Style / Tempo indication in the 
the header, a /box "Intro" of muliple bar rests, then a repeated /box "A " 
section which moves to a \box "B " sectionwith a 1st , 2nd & 3rd Ending where 
the 1st and 2nd ending are actually the same, and the 3rd ending is different. 
Tthen a a final melodic variation of /box "A" that is now labled /box "C" .  
This final section should jump (del a Segno) back to the /box "A" section which 
then jumps to a final indented "Coda".

The example should contain highly altered b5 or #5 b7 #9 or b9 chords  
including poly tonal chords shush as Emaj  over Bb7  along with hip lyrics line 
to the notated melody such as  "Aunt Lily cooks musical rats with a lot of fuss 
and muss."  " But Kieren carves the real meat of a Lily Stew - so simple you

Kind-of.  I made a few remarks at the beginning of chapter 15, but they 
should also be at the beginning of chapter 13.



Some details:
- Incorrectly changed a ">" to "}" in scheme code
- The command-line has changed from
   ("lilypond" "/cygdrive/C/ . . . /file.ly")
to
   ("C:\\lilypond\\usr\\bin\\lilypond-windows.exe" "file.ly")
   so must be analyzed differently to extract the file name.
   Difficult to convert, but ought to be flagged or documented.
- The string 'strftime "%T"' must be changed to 'strftime "%H:%M:%S"'.  The
shortcut doesn't work in 2.8.5.  LilyBug?


Automatically updating scheme code is difficult, and I don't think it's 
worth adding details of individual cases to the docs.  I've added a 
warning about scheme code in general, though.



- \line isn't inserted where required.  Documented.  A biggie.


Could you let me know if there's anything that should be added to the 
list in 13.3 Updating with convert-ly ?  (other than scheme code)

You are very inventive when it comes to working around certain issues by

lilypond has more elegant solutions.


Have you read chapters 3 to 5 in the new docs?  I highly recommend that 
you read those chapters from the 2.9 docs -- don't worry, at the moment 
(lilypond 2.9.10) those chapters apply to 2.8 just as much as 2.9.


Once you've read those, try modifying one of your scores (don't deal 
with all three versions at the same time) with those tips in mind.  Then 
send it to me again, and I'll make any additional comments.

Re: Coloring of note heads of multiple voices in the same staff

2006-07-04 Thread Kieren MacMillan


Hi, Markus:

Is there a possibility to maintain the different colors also in the  
merged staff?


Not the way you'd like it...  =(

If the merged staff is coded as

  \new Staff << \trpmusic \\ \tbmusic \\ \altomusic >>

you'll get three separate (but correctly coloured!) Voices, rather  
than the combined single-Voice output you desire.


Sending the voices to different voice context will keep the  
coloring but

also generates new staff lines what I don't want.


See above code.

Best regards,
Kieren.
