This sure doesn't help you, but just to report an experience...
I embedded something more than 100 lily pdf files in ConTeXt, then 
rendered with pdftex, having no problem at all (I filled in an A0

Adding a little horz. space between 2 bumping notes

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I'm using 3 voice polyphony and I have a case where 2 notes in separate
voices were printing so close to each other that they were touching. (an r8
was going on in the other voice)  I used the following "kluge" to give them
a little separation.  Is there a better way I could have added some
"padding" to the right of the f note below?  Heres how I did it, I placed a
symbol that would print to the right of the note then made it transparent
(string number orientation set to right):

\once \override StringNumber #'transparent = ##t
2 s2

In this case I used a the string number "\6", the code above is in a
separate voice than the note it's bumping into.  The transparent string
number nudges up the note stream nicely.

Is there a "correct" way to "nudge up" the note stream just a little when
needed?  I've typeset about 40 songs for my book to date but this is the
first time I've had this issue, so thats a pretty good track record.

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for.  Surprisingly,
something as simple as:

{
\time 4/4
\set tieWaitForNote = ##t
c'8~ e'~ g'~ <>
}

creates a collision of tie with top note.  I'm having flashbacks to my
teacher telling me "You use Finale, right?  Just click the tie and
slide the end of it back a little."  This could get really rough
really quick!

Reduced fontsize when using partcombine

[Trevor Daniels]

Hi

I've recently used partcombine to automatically produce a piano part to go
with an SATB choral work.  Very impressive!  But in a capella SATB the piano
part is for rehearsal only, and for these I want to reduce the size of the
printed notes in the piano reduction.  This is proving to be frustrating.
The simple
 \set fontSize=#-2
 reduces the size of notes in the two combined parts only when they are in
unison.
Adding
 \context Voice=one { \set fontSize=#-2 } and
 \context Voice=two { \set fontSize=#-2 },
reduces the notes when the two voices are separate but so far I've been
unable to reduce the notes when only one of the two voices is sounding (the
other having a rest).

Is this a bug? Is there a way to reduce _all_ the notes in a partcombined
staff in a simpler way, or if not how do I reduce the notes when just one of
the two voices is sounding?

I'm using LilyPond 2.8.6

Trevor

Haven't tried with clusters, but I have been able to get the glissandi working 
nicely using 2 voices, one for the lines, another for the durations. I've 
automated the generation of my lilypond files with python, which makes the 
production of the glissandi quite painless. 
My only complain 'till now is that its a lot more stuff going on --essentially 
twice the amount of lilypond code + a lot of warnings about clashing notes-- 
when it could be very simple (in principle).

The way I see it they don't have to be straight lines. In fact I would love to 
also have splines for glissandi!! (see box 3 in my attached PDF). But glissandi 
shouldn't just follow a melodic contour. 
Glissandi are tricky. In principle one should not need to intersect a glissando 
line with durations --notes with invisible heads--. But there are two problems 
with just connecting lines between all adjacent notes:
1. Pitch quantization.
2. The staff is not a linear pitch space, but a warped space designed to 
linearly distribute a diatonic (asymmetric) scale. 

In the attached PDF, box 1, you see the following nubmers:
1. what I'd like to have in lilypond.
2. what the desired continuous line would look like if it where to be visually 
(linearly) quantized to the nearest space/line in the staff. No noteheads.
3. same as 2 but with noteheads. 
4. The closest diatonic pitch quantization (to a quarter tone) of the 
glissando. i.e. warping into the diatonic scale. 

Clearly, 2 and 3 are not useful since they misrepresent the idea of a glissando 
with constant velocity. No. 4 could be a reasonable approximation, but still 
not good enough because:
1. It's still not accurate enough. What to do in example 2 of the PDF?
2. It makes a simple gesture look more complex.

I'm not sure I understand your explanation, but I see that the implementation

Well, yes, as you can see in box 1. The last two 1/4 notes would logically 
point up. *But* in the case of beamed notes, you would not want the beam to 
cross the glissando line, so in this case you would definitely want to keep 
stem directions constant. 
Let's think more about this. As we have verified already, it is possible to 
implement the non-contiguous note glissandi in Lilypond as it stands today. 
It's just not very elegant. 

Forgetting about this problem for a while, 
it would be cool to have splines for glissandi (between contiguous notes is 
OK). 
I'm going to look at the code and see if I can implement it myself! 
How much would this cost Han-Wen anyway? 

Victor.

Re: Reduced fontsize when using partcombine

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hi, Trevor:

Is there a way to reduce _all_ the notes in a partcombined staff in  
a simpler way


This is what I do:

\new PianoStaff = "reduction"
\with
{
fontSize = #-2
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep 
-2)
\override VerticalAlignment #'forced-distance = 
#8
}
<<
\new Staff = "redUpper" << \global \redNotesUpper >>
\new Staff = "redLower" << \global \redNotesLower >>
>>

That way, everything that appears in the "reduction" PianoStaff (or  
its component Staff contexts) is reduced in size.


Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: Adding a little horz. space between 2 bumping notes

Hi, Rick:

I would use something like

c |

}

[n.b. This padding (3) is exaggerated for effect/example -- probably  
ca. 1 would be sufficient...]


This way, you're not adding extra content (i.e., a Fingering element)  
just for the sake of presentation (i.e., a layout tweak).


Hope this helps!

Thank you, this works very well, I had tried this property earlier but I was

write a "nudgeNote" function out of this, it may be handy again.

Glad to hear it!

I had tried this property earlier but I was applying it to the  
wrong note (that "f,," pedal).


I tried that first as well, to the same result (i.e., no effect).
Then I realised that the SeparationItem was coming before a skip  
(a.k.a., not really separating two anythings!), and thus shouldn't  
work "as expected"!  ;-)

It's not there...

You can increase the f's #'X-extent to add space after it. For example,
 \override NoteColumn #'X-extent = #'(4. . 4.) will add an fair amount
 of space.

varVoiceInner = \relative c'' {
%% \once \override StringNumber #'transparent = ##t
\once \override NoteColumn #'X-extent = #'(4. . 4.)

Thanks Henrik, I was not aware that we had control over the notes boundry
box, I have not tried your suggestion but it should work too and in the
context of the voice causing the issue.  Apparently there are numerous ways
to insert horizontal whitespace.  (I left the invisible string indicator out
so that my example would cause the issue.)  A box model diagram of an entire
page would be handy and all the properties involved.

Re: Finally I found out about "\myStaffSize 20"

[Graham Percival]

Eyolf Ostrem wrote:
In the end, after some trial and error with Kruler and Kcalc, I found the 
solution, which, as it turned out, is ridiculously simple, but obscure:


- myStaffSize is a random variable name. It can be changed to 'bolg' in both 
places, and it still works.
- If set-global-staff-size is changed, \myStaffSize (or \bolg) should be 
changed to the same value.
- AND - most importantly: "20" should remain the same. Apparently, it's a 
hard-coded default value against which all other font size modifications are 
measured. 

Why this has to be so, eludes me, but I'm sure there is a good reason for it. 
But I think it would be a good idea to include these points in the manual. It 
would have saved me - and I guess also others - a lot of confusion.


Yes, this does sound like useful info.  Please see

I think the tutorial
should maybe have a single dedicated chapter on "fitting a page" as a whole,

Section 5.5 (in the 2.9 docs) attempts to address this issue.  If you 
have any suggestions that aren't on that page, please see

No need; you already have the command-line version.  See section 13.2 
"Notes for the MacOS X app" in the 2.9 docs.

Re: Tremollos

ok, I found in the manual that:

   \repeat "tremolo" 2 { c16 d16 }

should do the trick.

My current problem is understanding how it works. I need a tremolo to 
take up an half note, and it should be fuse notes (1/32 notes).

Actually it's:
\repeat "tremolo" 8 { c32 d32 }

and I think it would be good if those numbers were documented a little 
better.


I agree; please do!  Read

to see how to propose doc fixes.

Re: web documentation structure

Why is this page not in the tree?

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/

If you go to:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond/index.html

Then Up will not take you back.  The "Back" button will but it doesn't 
follow the doc structure.  That first page is so valuable I think it 
should be in the tree.


The user manual is created in PDF, info, and HTML formats independently 
of the main Documentation page.  Due to the way we build the docs, it's 
just not possible to include the main Doc page as the "Up" field inside 
the user manual.  I agree that it would be nice, though.

Re: Using PDFLaTeX

[Mats Bengtsson]

That's a new feature in version 2.9 and is therefore documented in the 
manual for that version.

Quoting Daniel Tonda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:


Hello:

I've been reading in the posts that it is saner to use PDFLatex than to use
the DVI/DVIPS/PS2PDF.

Since I've been using that chain for my lilypond latex documents, how does
one go about using pdflatex,
recommended documentation?

Thanks
