Re: OOoLilyPond macro installation and use
Hi Gordon, Gordon Gilbert wrote: 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. I don't expect OOoLilyPond to work with LilyPond 2.9.23. Use a stable version of LilyPond for which the corresponding templates are available (I recommend the version 2.6 for use with OOoLilyPond) . 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". Maybe the the button is called differently in different versions of OpenOffice.org. I'm using OpenOffice.org 2.0.2 that comes with Ubuntu Dapper. But anyhow. The installation procedure is too complex. The next development step of OOoLilyPond will be to simplify the installation. 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. This error appears when OpenOffice.org does not find the macro anymore. Usually it helps to once again assign Ctrl-M to tha macro. It may also be that you have to repeat the complete Installation procedure. regards, Samuel ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Reducing the length of a broken beam/beamlet/beam fragment?
The partial beams that you get with, e.g., a dotted rhythm: Is it possible to reduce the length of such beamlets? I think Lilypond's default minimum length is a bit too long, especially for tightly-spaced music, but I haven't been able to find a way to change it.

question about fontsize lyrics
Hello,
A week ago I started using Lilypond. So far it seems to have fabulous
possibilities. I only have one simple question.
I want to change the fontsize & fonttype of the lyrics in my file, but can't
find a way to do so. I will ad an example of one of my files.
Please tell me how to change these to (preferably) Palatino Linotype, 14pt.

Re: Making an object not take up vertical space?
Hi, Marcus: Is it possible to make an object (e.g., a text markup) not take up any vertical space? In order to make Lilypond think an object has no horizontal or vertical size, respectively, use \once \override ObjectName #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) or \once \override ObjectName #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 0), where the \once is optional (as always) and ObjectName is replaced with the actual name of the object (e.g., RehearsalMark or TextScript or...).

Please read the section on "The \override command" with subsections. There, you will learn how to figure this out yourself.

Re: question about fontsize lyrics
You are definitely on the right track. Try
text = \lyricmode
{
\override Score . LyricText #'font-name = "Vera Bold"
\override Score . LyricText #'font-shape = #'italic
Glo- ri- a, ...
However, at least on my system, there is no italic version of Vera Bold.
For the font size, the manual tells that the font-size property is given
relative
to the value of the paper variable text-font-size, but it doesn't tell
how this is
set by default. By looking at the implementation, I found out that the
default
value of text-font-size is 12pt for the default 20pt staff size and in
general
12 / 20 * staff size.

OSX 2.8.7 FontConfig cache
Greetings.
I just replaced my osx app of lilypond 2.8.5 with 2.8.7 and now get a
new error:
programming error: Cannot find file for FontConfig cache.
It seems to be harmless (my files still render correctly) but is
disconcerting.
../LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/var/cache/fontconfig is an empty
folder, should there be something in it?
Unfortunately, I deleted 2.8.5 before I discovered the error so I cannot
compare with the older version of the app.
Any advice? Or should I just ignore this error...
Thanks,
Julian Peterson

setting a keySignature
I know that \set Staff.keySignature = #'( (2 . -2) ) affects all E notes in all octaves. In the key signature, it displays a flat symbol over the 4th line of staff(which is an E note). Is there any way that I can change this display such that the flat symbol in the key signature is displayed on the 1st line of staff (which is another E note)? I know that using \set Staff.keySignature = #'( ((0 . 2) . -2)) It is possible to display flat symbol of the key signature on the 1st staff line, but then it just affects that octave, which is something undesirable. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/setting-a-keySignature-tf2464992.html#a6871603 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

P.S. Two things follow from this, the first obvious, the second less obvious (at least to me). First, to make an object take up *some* vertical space, say, 2 staff spaces, one can do, e.g.: \once \override ObjectName #'Y-extent = #'(0 . 2) or \once \override ObjectName #'Y-extent = #'(-2 . 0) or \once \override ObjectName #'Y-extent = #'(-8 . -6) The difference between the two numbers, of course, being 2 staff spaces, which determines how much vertical space the object will get. Second, the three examples above result in three different vertical positions of the object. In this case, lower numbers cause the object to be placed higher (regardless of whether it's above or below the staff). Thus, it's unnecessary to do both an override Y-extent AND both an override extra-offset, if one wants to change both the amount of vertical space an object takes up AND shift its vertical position. The two tweaks can be combined in the Y-extent pair: the difference between the numbers represents the amount of vertical space the object takes up, and the value of the numbers inversely affects their position (i.e., as the numbers increase, the object moves down).
