Tune to suit.

Subject: 17th century keyboard ornament
Hi all,
I'm trying to typeset some 17th century keyboard music from the Southern
Netherlands. An often used ornament is a slanted double dash through the
stem of the note (zie attached image - sorry for the bad quality).
I tried to adapt the tremolo:
-
\version "2.8.5"
doubledash = {\once \override Voice.StemTremolo #'beam-thickness = #0.2 }
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
\score {
\relative c'
<<
\new Staff { \time 3/4 \doubledash g'':16 g g }
\new Staff { \clef bass << { r4 \doubledash bes,,2:16 } \\ { g2~ g4 } >> }
>>
}
-
This doesn't satisfy me. The vertical space between the dashes is too
large. Especially when the stem is short (as is with the bes in the
above example). I can't find a parameter to control this distance.
Can someone give me a suggestion how to typeset this ornament?
thanks in advance,
Peter van Kranenburg

no, it's written in bison. The lexer invokes an external parser to parse
Scheme expression when needed.

question is whether it's possible to write a grammar that is useful both for
convert-ly and paper production at once, or if it's a better idea to use a
simplified grammar for convert-ly. E.g.: in { \foo c4 c2 } it's difficult to
know whether c4 and/or c2 are parameters to the function foo, or if foo just
is a variable -- it might be that foo has been defined in an \included file.
For convert-ly purposes, it might be sensible to always treat \foo as a
variable, because that makes life simpler.

I think it's easier to import from other formats directly to .ly, or to a
known format such as MusicXML.

Re: sponsering LilyPond if download works
lilypond.exe is purely a command-line tool. Lilypond (.ly) files are plain text files... you can edit them with notepad, or your text editor of choice (I believe the Windows installer associates .ly files with LilyPad, included with Lilypond). To compile a file, right click on it, and you should see "generate PDF". - Original Message - From: "Graham Percival" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "lilypond-user Mailinglist" Sent: Saturday, July 22, 2006 10:24 PM Subject: Re: sponsering LilyPond if download works [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I tried version (I believe) 2.8.5.

Re: sponsering LilyPond if download works
1) Create a new folder on your desktop (right click the screen and select
"new folder")
2) Open the new folder and right click inside of it and select "new text
document"
3) In the new text doc enter the following 3 lines, verbatim:
\version "2.8.5"
\include "english.ly"
{ c4 d e f g a b }
4) Close the text document and save it as "test.ly" in same folder (make
sure the file extension is .ly and not .txt) (The files icon should be a LP
icon not a text document icon)
5) Double click the test.ly in the new folder.
6) You should then see the pdf and ps file in that same folder. Note runing
LP for the very first time requires Windows to register the fonts (I
believe), so your first execution will take longer. But after that its fast
enough.
7) If you see a pdf file, you're on your way, just "read the fine manual",
also download the many examples. If no PDF then take a look at the .log
file in that same folder.

Chord name exception not getting a match
If you would be so kind as to run the following code snippit (just paste and
run)
\version "2.8.5"
\include "english.ly"
jazzyChordsMusic =
{
-\markup { "foo" }
-\markup { "foofoo" }
% Add more as needed
}
jazzyChordsAdd = #(append
(sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions jazzyChordsMusic #t)
ignatzekExceptions)
jazzyChords =
{
\set chordNameExceptions = #jazzyChordsAdd
}
\new ChordNames \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
chordChanges = ##t
chordNameSeparator = " "
\consists "Instrument_name_engraver"
instrument = \markup { \sans "Guitar" }
}
{ \jazzyChords
\relative c 4
\relative c 4
}
The first chord name exception "C m add11" matches fine to my score and
provides the exception "foo".
However the second chord name exception "C 7 b9 add13" does not match and
does not provide an exception in my score (even if the score root is C).
Even if I reverse the order of the 2 exceptions in the list above, still no
match for the C7b9add13 chord.
Why would one chord name exception work and another one not work?
I'm trying to eliminate the word "add" from some of my chord names to save
space on the page.
I think the chord exceptions table lookup routine might have a bug when
looking up chord name exceptions.
Can someone on the coding side please verify this test and maybe provide a
work-around I can use in my music?
thanks
Rick

Have a look at the extra-offset property. It moves an object after all layout work has been done, so no other grob is affected by it.
