installing emacs lilypond-mode

[Paul Scott]

I have installed LilyPond on another machine and haven't figured out how 
to get lilypond-mode for emacs going.


The manual (2.9) says do a "make install" from the source archive.  Does 
this mean that I have to get the source tarball?  It's been quite a 
while since I've had to do this and I don't remember needing the source 
to set up lilypond-mode.


TIA,

Paul Scott

Hi:

I just read that lilypond includes support for rightHandFinger events. 
Being a guitarist I was thrilled.


I ran the example and tried a couple of experiments to see if I could 
change the capital P and I that appear, in guitar the fingers are spelt 
in lowercase p, i, m, a.


\rightHandFinger #0 ... #11.

0 and greater than 5 appear as "x".

Is there a way to tweak the way it displays the fingerings?


check out the digit-names property of StringFinger

If you used the installer, you will find the emacs lisp files
in $PREFIX/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp.

For me, the easiest way was to copy them to a directory
in my emacs lisp path and put 

(load "lilypond-init.el" nil t t)

in my .emacs file.

Re: trnasparent stem function

[Jean-marc LEGRAND]

Thanks, Mats !
That does work and I've achieved what I wanted to do :

\version "2.9"
stemLess = \override Voice.Stem #'transparent = ##t
stemFull = \override Voice.Stem #'transparent = ##f
\score {
  \relative c'' {
\override Staff.NoteCollision  #'merge-differently-headed = ##f
<<{\stemDown a2 a4 a} \\ {\stemLess c2 c4 c \stemFull} \\ {\stemUp 
e2 e4 e}>>

}
  }

Best regards !

 Re: trnasparent stem function  

















There's no need for a music function here, why not simply do

stemLess = \once \override Voice.Stem #'transparent = ##t

Also, since you use \once in the previous definition, there's no need
to do a revert later.

I agree that we need a better solution.  Ideally, it would be one that

In this case, it is not sufficient to just use \tag etc., because if you do, 
each snippet will be treated as the first system, so time signature etc. will 
be displayed in each example.

One solution for you could be to wrap the .ly code inside a .tely document, 
and use lilypond-book. Lilypond-book generates one individual .eps for each 
system, so if you just insert \breaks in the right spots, then it should give 
you what you want (this way, you will also get page breaks between systems in 
a natural way).

Also, I hope you know about OOoLilypond; if not, please read the ML archives.

The problem is that this is not always what you want. Think for example 
of situations where you include a short snippet in the middle of a line 
of text or in a table. Then, you don't anything to stick out to the

You can take over all the titling yourself with the following \paper block

Re: I would like to buy this enhancement (highly motivated buyer)

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Yes, it seems to work great for all my initial tests so far.  Han-Wen is very
fast.  I have already made a word processor document that references several
EPS clips from the original score.  Now I only have one score to maintain
and one document to maintain, and when I change the score the revised clips
are automatically reflected in the word processor document (assuming the
clip file names were not also changed).

lilypond-book knows whether it's setting complete lines or only
snippets.  It's obviously done some kind of calculating what length
line I told the geometry package to set in LaTeX.  It's just that it
gets it wrong, and for full lines ends up with text sticking out to
the right of the bounding box.

You can either see this problem as:

 It's getting the length of the staff line right, but then adding
 the stuff to the left of the staff in the wrong place, that is,
 within the margin instead of outside.

or:

 It's getting the length of the staff line wrong, because it's
 failing to take into account the stuff to the left of the staff.

I don't greatly care which problem gets fixed.  Arvid's solution would
fix the first problem.  I don't see why lilypond-book would have to
apply it in the case of lines where it wasn't trying to fill up the
whole LaTeX \textwidth.

Yes, it seems to work great for all my initial tests so far.  Han-Wen is very

are automatically reflected in the word processor document (assuming the

I changed the mechanism a bit further in .24, so changes in linebreaking 
don't mess up the snippet names.

I'm not entirely sure it does (Lilypond obviously does), but if it doesn't, an
option to the lilypond-book commands (either in the .lytex file or on the
command line) could tell lilypond-book whether or not to act as if there was
nothing to the left of the margin.

At least in the case of the EPS/dvips backend.  Other backends may vary.

Anyway, if lilypond-book had this option enabled *and* could get enough
bounding box data back from Lilypond, it could use a (slightly altered) 
bounding box parameter in the \includegraphics LaTeX command.

-d option for first-page-number?

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

A -d option to set the \paper first-page-number property from the command
line job would be a real handy thing to have.  Many people I assume, like
me, often print a score for inclusion into another separate book, or
concatenation with a bunch of other PDF files.  It would be nice to not have
to edit the .ly file just to get the score to start out with the desired
page number for that particular usage instance.

Can someone add this easily?

Also many or all of the \paper properties would be good candidates for -d
options, like giving the ability to adjust staff spacing, staff count and
paper sizes from the job stream instad of having to edit the .ly files. 
Just like most word processors give you the ability to print on different
sizes of paper without having to modify your original document.

Scheme question

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

I would like to "dynamically generate" values for the following 3 hard-coded
properties based on a rule, and the current default paper size, but I dont
know scheme:

paper-height = 11.0\in
paper-width = 8.5\in
line-width = 7.7\in

So basically how would I code the above hard coded values to be math
expressions based on the following rule:

I always want my left and right margins to be .4 inches.

So the formula for line with would be (default paper width - .8)

The formula for paper-height and paper-width would be whatever the default
paper currently is, but I dont know how to set it from those values.

I'm trying to make my \paper block code more intelligent so that it
automatically resets the line-width and paper-width/height based on whatever
I set #set-default-paper-size to.  top/bottom margins are ok to be
hard-coded as well as most of the other \paper properties whenever I change
form sizes.

If I can get line-width to set itself based on an expression, I can more
easily change form sizes from my job stream using the -d option for paper
size and not have to re-edit the ly file.  But I dont know scheme.

thanks for any help on how to set these properties based on the current
default paper size and my .4/in margins rule.
Rick

I can understand that need, but isn't it easier to simply use an include 
file?


  echo 'line-width = 200\pt' > settings.ly

on the commandline, and doing

\paper {
  \input "settings.ly"
}

in the .ly file.

Adding lots and lots of -d settings will overwhelm users when they type 
-dhelp, and it will be confusing, as different paper variables influence 
each other. For example, the default for line-width depends on the paper 
size, so what should  happen when you do


  -dpaper-size="a4" -dline-width="16.\cm"

and what if

  -dline-width="16.\cm" -dpaper-size="a4"

Re: -d option for first-page-number?

[Rick Hansen (aka RickH)]

Yes, I suppose my batch job script can just copy the appropriate file into
"settings.ly" then invoke lilypond.  In fact this will also solve my first
page number and many other cases where I want to control my scores via the
job stream.  I can keep a repository of various "settings-forwhatever.ly"
files then the first step of my job can simply copy whatever settings I want
into "settings.ly" in the path that the .ly file \include references.

This method seems cleaner and more universal to me than the -d options.

Thanks

this is possible in CVS by doing

  left-margin = #(*  5 cm)
  #(set-paper-size "a4")

Thanks, so line-width will take whatever is left over after the margins are

It is, use a $ sign.

myfun =
#(define-music-function (parser location num)
(number?)
  #{
 \override TextScript #'padding = #(* 2 $num)
 %% or:
 %% \override TextScript #'padding = #$(* 2 num)
  #})

\myfun #3

This is somewhat equivalent to the following:

  #(define some-variable 3)
  \override TextScript #'padding = #(* 2 some-variable)

or, using the second version:

  #(define some-variable1 3)
  #(define some-variable2 (* 2 some-variable1))
  \override TextScript #'padding = #some-variable2

You may have a look at this article:
.

Note that it was written for a previous version of LilyPond, where
define-music-function was then called def-music-function, and other
things may be outdated.

normally, the return value of a scheme expression is thrown away by the 
parser; ly:export is used to mark expressions that instead should be 
interpreted as music. So what you wanted above is something like:

 #(define-music-function (parser location var1) (integer?)
 #{
   $firstnote #(ly:export (list-ref notes 1)) #(ly:export (list-ref notes 
2))
 #})

Note that ly:export is built into make-music-function, so in that case you 
don't have to worry about it.

OOoLilyPond macro installation and use

[Gordon Gilbert]

Hi folks!

I looked at this idea of OOoLilypond, and thought -- what a fabulous idea 
for how I use Lilypond!  So I installed the latest Lily (2.9.23), and 
installed and followed slavishly the instructions to download and install 
the macro.


But it won't work!  It seemed to install just fine, although when I went 
to bind the macro, I had trouble following the instructions.  The biggest 
thing in that was that you used the word "Append" as part of the menu 
instructions.  After some cogitation, I figured out that the menu button I 
should try is "Import".


So now I had the macro installed, and I opened it, and inserted the lily 
code.  When I clicked Lilypond, it crashed OpenOffice.  OOo was kind 
enough to "recover" my document upon reopening, but now, when I type 
-M, I get a dialog with the following cryptic text in it:


A Scripting Framework error occurred while running the Basic script 
vnd.sun.star.script:OOoLilyPond.Main/main?language=Basic&location=application.


Message:  BasicProviderimpl::getScript: no script!
OK

Can anybody help me here?  I should say that I did this on my FreeBSD 
machine just now as I was composing the email.  but I installed the macro 
on my Windoze machine as well, but it simply wouldn't work on that.  Maybe 
somebody could help there too.  (Windows XP Pro, Lilypond 2.9.23-1)


Blessings,

Fr. Gordon Gilbert
