\transpose weird staffs
Hi,
I have a nice horn in G part where in the middle it's written "from
here take your horn in E flat"
Of course in our orchestra we only have horn in F ^^
So I first entered the notes
hornpart = \relative c' {
\transposition g
... many notes ...
\transposition ees
again, many notes
}
And I'm now looking for the best and cleanest way to output the part in F
I tried to apply the \tranpose stuff using \skips (like using a global
staff for the layout) but... it's a failure
any clue ?

The problem you see (a tie of one note of an arpeggio connecting to the
wrong note of the following chord) existed in the 2.8 series after some
work was done on LilyPond's tie code. It was fixed in the 2.9 series of
LilyPond.
Please see the last item on the following "News" page for LilyPond 2.9:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/topdocs/NEWS.html
So, you may wish to try LilyPond 2.9.x
Also, you may wish to consider using the briefer notation for chords,
insted of the simultaneous-music construction:

Re: \transpose weird staffs
Hi,
AFAICS, the easiest way is to split your horn part into two seperate ones:
hornpartG = \relative c' {
\transposition g
... many notes ...
}
hornpartEES = \relative c' {
\transposition ees
... many notes ...
}
Then use \transpose as usual on each of them.

Manually set slur points
I'm amazed with LilyPond. I've done several pieces of sheet music with it and I'm still amazed. It's not a tool, it's an instrument. Here's my problem: I want to make a "custom" slur that would squeeze through a small space between two chords.. irrelevant. I want to make a slur with more than 2 curves. The current code allows to create custom slurs in the form of "moustache", so that both ends turn in the same way or vice versa, so that one end turns up and the other down. I want to add a third curve in the middle, so that the slur would look like M. The program reference http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Slur.html wasn't helpful at all -- it only stated that it's possible. LilyPond snippet repository told me the right way to do this, but it uses only 4 referencre points (when I strip it to 3, it connects to (0 . 0) and so makes a loop). I want at least 5 points. Is it currently possible? Is it theoretically possible (I'm not familiar with Bezier curves)? Kudos for the excellent job, Elmo ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: \transpose weird staffs
You don't have to split the parts if you \tranpose direct from es to g
hornpartInG = \relative c' {
notes in G
\transpose g ees \relative c' {
notes in Es
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \transpose f g {
\hornpartInG
}
}
Or even bring the notes to C first (no more need for \transposition
for midi output)
hornpartInC = \transpose c g \relative c' {
notes in G ...
\transpose g ees \relative c' {
notes in Es
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \transpose f c {
\hornpartInC
}
}

wrong note of the following chord) existed in the 2.8 series after some
work was done on LilyPond's tie code. It was fixed in the 2.9 series of
LilyPond.
It doesn't end at the wrong note, it just cuts right through the note
above the ending note. 2.9.16-1 does it exactly the same way. LP
doesn't appear to take tie-note collision into consideration.
Is there a way to manually control where the tie ends, or to avoid
note-tie collisions?
Please see the last item on the following "News" page for LilyPond 2.9:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.9/Documentation/topdocs/NEWS.html
Wonderful, some good essential stuff here. I'm surprised, some of
these have been in Finale for years.
Also, you may wish to consider using the briefer notation for chords,

Vanishing tie
I'm pretty sure this is LP doing something incorrectly.

\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Alto Sax"
\clef treble
r16 e g b
r8 cis
}
\relative c'
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Tenor Sax"
\clef treble
a4
cis8 cis'
}
\relative
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Baritone Sax"
\clef bass
a,4~ a16 e' g b
}
=
ends up with no tie from the first note of the bottom line. But if I
remove the top staff code completely, the tie appears.

In this instance, I have two ties right after each other in the top

normally.

How to generate a counter for repeated bars
Please forgive me if this is an obvious case of RTFM, but how do you get to
disply a counter over a section of repeated bars. I am using using unfold
as I don't want any actual ||: . . . :|| sections in the part. I know
there are counters available for things like percent repeats and suchlike.
I there any property or variable I can set to get the desired result?
For example I want to get \repeat unfold 4 {c4 d e f |} to generate
1 23 4
| c d e f |c d e f|c d e f|c d e f|
I'm still learning the music notation syntax and haven't tried the delights
of customizing Lilypond with scheme yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice on cracking this one.
Cheers,
Ian Hulin

centered chorus lyrics
I'm typesetting a piece of music that my mother wrote
that has two verses and a chorus. I want the lyrics
to the chorus to be centered between the two staves,
but I can't figure out how to do that. I can only get
the chorus lyrics to either line up with one of the
two verses, or to create a third line of lyrics. Can
anyone help?
Here's a sample:
\version "2.8.5"
upperv = \relative c' {
\clef treble
\key g \major
\time 4/4
d4 e8 d g g a g
c4 b g4. g8
a4. a8 a4 g8 a
\break
c4 b a8 g4 d8
}
upperc = \relative c' {
e'4 e c e8 c
d4 c b2
c4 c a c
b8 c4. d4 g,
}
lowerv = \relative c {
\clef bass
\key g \major
\time 4/4
2
}
lowerc = \relative c {
g4 2 4
g4 2 4
fis4 2 4
g4 2 4
}
wordsOne = \lyricmode {
These are the words to the first verse.
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
}
wordsTwo = \lyricmode {
These are the words to the second verse.
la la la la la la la la la la la la la
}
chorus = \lyricmode {
These are the words to the chorus.
I want them to be centered. la la
}
\score {
<<
\context Staff {
\context Voice = upperv { \upperv }
\context Voice = upperc { \upperc }
}
\lyricsto upperv \new Lyrics \wordsOne
\lyricsto upperv \new Lyrics \wordsTwo
\lyricsto upperc \new Lyrics \chorus
\context Staff = lower { \lowerv \lowerc }
>>
}
