Re: lyrics running wider than the staff

I've wondered if it might be a good idea to collect settings which have global formatting effects into one section, or at least creating a sort of index. As someone who creates thousand page documents ever other year, I can appreciate the difficulties ... All the global formatting options are listed in the program reference. Many manual pages have "commonly tweaked properties" which are designed to handle common cases (or simply give examples of the kinds of tweaks which are possible), but they are not the main source of that information. I agree that this specific case is not ideal; informal patches are appreciated. I don't do vocal music, so I am not the best person to be making changes to section 7.3.

I'm almost positive that you have a rhythmic mistake in your score.

Tying only one note of a chord?
Hi,
Is it possible to tie only one note of a chord? This snippet using the
tie-configuration property of the TieColumn is basically what I'm
looking for, except that the tie prints three times, giving too heavy
a weight.
%%% BEGIN %%%
\version "2.9.13"

\once \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration = #'((-4 . -1) (-4 .

e'
g'
>4
}
%%% END %%%
Is there a way to say explicitly "tie only the e in the chord"?

Sponsorship - Better Incipits / Ossai Staves.
Hi All, This email is mainly directed at Han-Wen but if others have ideas and suggestions then please don't hesitate. I'm looking to sponsor two features: 1: Better support for Incipits: looking at the current way of preparing incipits there isn't a way to restart the staff again e.g. to show the staff brackets etc to let reader know that the incipit ends and the staff restarts. Also there has be an incipit for the whole staff regardless of whether the clef or not values have changed or not. I've been trying examples of using markups to produce the incipit for a particular staff and then using manual overrides to shift it down and before the staff. As you can imagine this takes a lot of trial and error and can be quite time consuming to get one done let alone more. 2: The second feature is a better way to prepare ossia staves. I prepare a lot of baroque music and sometimes there a shortcuts in the notation for example: chords that should be played in the same way as the preceding bars. A fully functioning ossai stave would be beneficial. Any thoughts and feedback appreciated.

neo-mensural time signatures
Hi, I'm trying to typeset a piece of renaissance music in neomensural style and would like to use the neo-mensural time signature glyphs. Unfortunately they are preset to decode 3/2 or 2/2 bars although the tempus imperfectum or perfectum should get translated into 2 or 3 semibrevis which means in lilypond into 2/1 or 3/1 (for a thorough explanation in german see section "Weisse Mensuralnotation (ca. 1430-1600)" at http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mensuralnotation ) The result: If I set the timesignature to 3/2 I get double as many bars as wanted. Is there any workaround? Yours, Orm BTW: Is there any good reason for lilypond's translation of the tempus perfectum into 3/2? Maybe it'd be a good idea to change it altogether and for good in future versions? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Paul - this gives me the way to do it, thanks very much. Notice that
in the first score the D and E in the second chord are in an invisible
new bar, so lilypond would usually not put a natural on it to cancel
the Db and Eb in the first bar. With the set-accidental-style command
within the \new Staff block, it does add the cancelling naturals,
which is what I wanted. I will have to insert the command for every
new \score block, however, since as you can see the second staff
didn't include a natural sign on the F (in the second invisible bar)
to cancel the Fb in the first bar.
This version does what I want it do, but I still can't believe I need
to be so verbose, with repeating everything for each score block:
Kieren is right. I have done that before. You get the same result by
just choosing a time signature that takes in the whole line (without
#(set-accidental-style 'no-reset) ), I tried your example with
\time 2/1 and it worked.

Organization of vocal scores
Hi all, As I prepare to start on my second major vocal piece, I'm wondering if there's a nicer way to organize the lilypond file. My issue is that when I'm looking at the score to make corrections or tweaks, I mentally reference things based off the words. Lilypond, however, bases it off the notes, and so every time I want to change something I need to find the notes that the words are associated with. It gets worse when I need to do something in all 4 voice parts, as I need to find the same point in 4 different note collections. I could put comments throughout the notes sections indicating where various points in the lyrics are in relation to the notes - is this the best/only way to link them? I'm also looking at LilyPad (I'm on OS X), but it seems that I could organize the source better, rather than relying on the editor. Any tips/best-practices for larger, multi-part vocal music are much appreciated! Thanks!

layout across multiple scores
How can I specify a layout block that applies to all scores in a book? I
wrote a program to generate musical examples, and each snippet is to go on
its own staff. So my program writes them in separate scores like this,
each with its own layout block:

\context {

}
}
}
}
==end .ly file==
But when there are dozens of snippets in the file, the file is much bigger
than it needs to be because of the duplication of layout instructions. Can
I include a layout block once to cover all scores in the book? If so,
where does it go? I tried this structure:
\book {
\layout {
}
\score {
}
\score {

Re: a metronome mark question
I also had this problem recently. I got round it by having a hidden, smaller staff running the whole length of the piece and only inserting the "notes" that I needed around the barline of the tempo change (in that case \times 2/3 {c16 c c} s16^"=" c16 c c )Very clumsy but it did get the desired result.- Original Message From: Paul Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>To: Dave Phillips <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.orgSent: Wednesday, 26 July, 2006 5:42:24 AMSubject: Re: a metronome mark questionDave Phillips wrote:> Greetings:>> I've written a part

In pseudo-LP code it's something like this:>> {c'8 c'} = {\times 2/3 {c'4 c'8}} Actually everything except the triplet bracket is in the manual:8.2.2
Metronome marksIf there isn't a way to do the triplet bracket I would consider cosponsoring this feature with you.Paul___lilypond-user mailing listlilypond-user@gnu.orghttp://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user___

Slide, or "glissando" with no start point
Hi - Running LilyPond 2.8.4.1 under Windows XP SP2. I'd like to notate a slide up to a note. The time, in the music, would come out of the note following the slide notation. For those familiar with ABC notation, this would be similar to prefixing the note with a "J" in .abc. In this particular piece of music, the previous note is higher than the one being slid to. The only workaround I can figure out would be one involving \oneVoice. Is that my only option? I've searched the documentation, including list archives, and found a sort of related discussion back around 2.5 or 2.6, but it was actually about drops and raises after a note, not before, and there was no resolution I could find.
