RE: Standard sheet music in (US)
Somethning else to look at ... a ?week? ago on the list, somebody had a similar problem which turned out to be a bug in the call to gs. He set a custom paper size, but when lily called gs it wasn't passing his custom size, it was telling gs to produce an A4 pdf. This *could* be the same bug.

This worked for me, the key apparently is to call the form archA which apparently is some standard name that Adobe knows as being a 9x12 document size. I initially created another 9x12 form the only difference being the name Concert and Adobe still uses a document size of 8.5x11 with a paper size of 9x12 (not understanding the name). But when I changed the form name Concert to archA it sees it and there is no need to rescale while printing IOW wysiwyg. Also (for windows) you need to add the form name archA to you machine if it's not already present, by going to: Control Panel / Printers and Faxes / File / Server Properties For all you Windows folks just add the archA form on this panel. Of course the paper transport has to be able to physically accomodate that size too, and mine does.

The line to add is: (archA . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in))) Then, when you set your paper size, use archA. The first two lines of the piece I'm working on look like this: \version 2.8.5 #(set-default-paper-size archA) Again, check out my paper.scm, then try it yourself. It should work without a hitch.

The bug was that the pdf header was not being written properly, somebody fixed it (post 2.8.0) but apparently the changes never made it to version 2.8.5. Adobe thinks the document is 8.5x11 even though paper size is 9x12. This is kind of urgent as I need to get this out for fall band rehearsal and dont want to use Letter size paper.

I added 9x12 inch paper to paper.scm, however LP is still not recognizing all the real estate available to it. Also when I go to print and tell Adobe the paper is 9x12, Adobe still thinks the document size is 8.5x11 even though my \paper block clearly indicates 9x12. Can anyone fill me in on how to print on standard sheet music paper? In the USA std sheet music is called Arch A or Architectural A or as Finale calls it Concert. All these are 9x12 inches and most printers install these forms in the US automatically. So I'm not asking for anything weird here. Changing paper.scm alone does not seem to do the trick. I seem to recall there was some other file that needed to be changed, but since I already overlayed 2.8.0 with 2.8.5 I cant tell what those changes entailed, nor am I a Scheme programmer. thanks for any help on this that anyone might have. I hope lp catches on in the USA and that someday it will support standard sheet music paper.

RE: Standard sheet music in (US)
That sounds similar, except since my copy of Adobe and computer is set up for en-US culture my fallback is Letter size not A4 (it's hard to even find a store that sells A4 paper in the US). But that does sound like the same behavior, I made a custom form, gave it my own name and size of 9x12/in, but the document size still comes out 8.5x11. Whereas if I rename that very same form to archA, which apparently is a standardized form name, all is well. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Standard-sheet-music-in-%28US%29-tf1952038.html#a5379156 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

Some other articulations
Hello, I am copying some arias from Bach's Passions, after Breitkopf/Dover, and I cannot find how to type in Lilypond 2.8.1 some articulations. I have looked through the 2.9 Manual, Tips Tricks and Regression, to no avail. 1) (most important): accent steigend and accent fallend. I am mimicking these with \repeatTie but the localization is not good and results pretty ambiguous. To write them as acciacaturas with the grace note with note head and stem invisible is very cumbersome and does not seem good either. 2) a kind of trill, whose sign is not tr but some sort of tc or t+accent fallend. Seems impossible to immitate, so I am just writing a t in markup. 3) a prallup with a more pronounced up wich litterally goes up the next note because it is not written above the staff, but between the notes, and requires a greater spacing of the notes. I am just moving the existing prallup and remembering what it should be. I would like to know if these are no longer seen as good engraving practice and for what they should be exchanged, or if they can be done using Lily. Unfortunately I am completely unable to sponsor any related feature, although I would be happy to see these articulations included in Lilypond. TIA, Luise. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Volta + rehearsal mark?
This is either a bug, or a subtlety that I'm not
understanding; clarification on either would be appreciated.
If you look at the output, notice that the markup
is only correctly right-aligned when I use \override instead of \once
\override.
I'm not really sure to do; I'm currently using
\override, then \revert afterwards, butit doesn't feel like it should work
as such.
Thanks,

Chord tremoli within a larger beamed figure?
Hi,
Is it possible to get a chord tremolo of the type given in
chord-tremolo.ly beamed *within* a larger beamed figure?
Here's a valid chord tremolo; note that the tremolo marks do not touch stems:
%%% VALID CHORD TREMOLO %%%
\version 2.9.11
\context Staff \relative c' {
\repeat tremolo 2 { c32 e32 }
}
%%% END %%%
And here I'd like to have that chord tremolo embedded inside the group
of 4 beamed eighths:
%%% FAILED CHORD TREMOLO INSIDE BEAM GROUP %%%
\version 2.9.11
\context Staff \relative c' {
b8[
\repeat tremolo 2 { c32 e32 }
f8]
}
%%% END %%%
In this second example (attached) the tremolo marks unfortunately *do*
touch stems (which is rhythmically incorrect by half). Also here the
interpreter grumbles ...
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
programming error: Stem already has beam
continuing, cross fingers
programming error: Stem already has beam
continuing, cross fingers
Preprocessing graphical objects...
... which probably means that chord tremoli within a larger beamed
group are specifically disallowed at present, yes?
Does anyone have a good way of embedding chord tremoli within a larger
beam? Is this a sponsorship opportunity?

End-of-piece trill?

What's the right way to end a piece with a trill on the last note?

\version 2.9.11
\new Staff {
c'4
d'4
e'4
f'4 \startTrillSpan \stopTrillSpan

%%% END EX 1 %%%
Example 1 causes the interpreter to say ...
Interpreting music...
257.ly:7:28: warning: can't find start of trill spanner
f'4 \startTrillSpan
\stopTrillSpan
257.ly:7:12: warning: unterminated trill spanner

... and produce no trill spanner.

\version 2.9.11
\new Staff {

d'4
e'4
f'4 \startTrillSpan s4 \stopTrillSpan
}
%%% END %%%
Example 2 does produce the trill spanner, but with extra space at the
end of the piece.
Is there an explicit way to put a spanner on exactly one note?

I think you could use the same trick it was posted some months ago about
crescendo and decrescendo (I'm sorry I don't remeber who posted it):
%% START SNIPPET %%
\version 2.9.11
\new Staff {
c'4
d'4
e'4
f'4*1/2 \startTrillSpan s4*1/2 \stopTrillSpan
}
%% END SNIPPET %%
You can modify numbers (such as f4*1/3 ... s4*2/3 and so on) to adjust the
length of the spanner.
I've tried it and it seems to work as you'd like. I hope this can be of some
use.
