Helmholtz-Ellis tuning sponsors?
Hi all, So, I'm working on a big just intonation piece. I've come across Marc Sabat's Helmholtz-Ellis tuning system ( http://newmusicbox.org/article.nmbx?id=4191 ), and I dig it. I'd really like these microtonal symbols integrated into Lilypond. Would anyone else be up for co-sponsoring this with me? Han-Wen, is this a fairly straightforward task? He's already made the symbols available as TT fonts. Thanks, jim altieri ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm Off :)
Hi to all at Lilypond, My family and I are off to Canada (from the UK) to live in the next few weeks, so I'm going to be off the air until I get sorted out over there with an internet connection. When I'm sorted, I plan to finish off the Braille support - I'll have a fair bit more time over there so I should get it done now I have finished work over here. Many thanks to all of you - you're a friendly bunch - see you on the other side ;) Regards, Ralph ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Mehmet,
I guess you forgot to include a copy to the mailing list. Feel free
to quote my answer there if you wish.
Try
\new PianoStaff \with{systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBracket }
...

Quoting Mehmet Okonsar [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
bracket instead of brace is good,
but I'm composing a percussion trio and the upper of each group will have 3
lines staff and the lower only 1 line. I hope there will be no problem
crossing the staves..
if you tell me how to get a bracket in a piano staff that will make
it I think
thanks

I assume cross staff beams work only in a piano staff context?
Am I right?

I tried MIDI export, I've also tried (actually I BOUGHT it) the Dolet MusicXML export plugin. But it's still very very weak, and make a lot of things disappear. I've even tried insane solutions, like printing scores in PDF, and using some music-scanning software to recover it... let me tell you : it's ugly. The Makemusic Sibelius and Recordare guys are certainly doing great, but gosh !! The hell with closed-source software !!

utf-8
For about a year now. I have been using Lilypond. I was very happy with it, very very happy. Until the day that I tried to write a French title in which there was a letter with an accent. Ever since, no matter what I have done, I have failed to produce a pdf file that displayed the character properly. I am using a Windows XP machine. First I used the lilypond offered through cygwin. That worked until I tried the letter with the accent. I have used emacs through cygwin, then the latest version of Xemacs without Cygwin. Nothing worked. I updated lilypond through cygwin only to get no characters at all any more. When I read that it was better to use lilypond for Windows, I switched (the characters now were better than ever before, but still no character with an accent. Finally, I switched editors, tried Editpad. To no avail. I have spent innumerable hours trying to solve the problem. There must be a simple solution, for I have seen a source file with the line in the header saying inputencoding=utf-8. I copied that trick. Lilypond handled it without protesting.

Re: utf-8
Open the file in Emacs, press CTRL-x Return f and enter: utf-8 You should see a -u at the bottom left corner of the window. Then, the next time you save the file, it should be in UTF-8. This didn't work for me the first time I tried it, since I had an old .emacs file that changed some of the default settings.

Lyrics collide with barlines
Hi, I have typeset over 100 pages of music with Lilypond 2.8.6 last month and there's only one thing that I could not figure out how to do. Every now and then, lyrics will collide with barlines. See for example: http://catalin.francu.com/Music/colinde/ (some Romanian carols). Look at la_vitleem_colo_n_jos.ly and the generated la_vitleem_colo_n_jos.pdf. You'll see the collisions right from the first system. The documentation proposes a solution here: http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond/Vocal-music.html#Vocal-music However, that doesn't work well for me. See the modified la_vitleem_colo_n_jos2.ly and la_vitleem_colo_n_jos2.pdf in the same folder. Two unwanted effects happen when I do what the manual says: - The bar lines now extend down, including the bass lyrics (before, they ended on the bass staff) - Some non-simple barlines (such as the repeat barline after measure 18) appear chopped in pieces. Ideally, I'd like a way to tell Lilypond I want at least two mm of space between barlines and text. Other than that, big big kudos (I wish I only had one gripe with every software package I used).

Re: Repositioning \tempo, and one other question
OnionRingOfDoom wrote: Like the subject says, is there any way to reposition the \tempo mark? I'd love to be able to move it a bit to the left. First, here's the fish: \once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'X-offset = #-2 right before your first tempo mark to move it 2 spaces to the left. To move all of them the same way, omit \once. Now, here's an example how to fish for this solution yourself: ;) Go to the Documentation page for your version of Lilypond; Click on User manual; Scroll down, click on Appendix H LilyPond index Find \tempo, and follow the link to Metronome marks Notice the \override example at the bottom: \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #2.5 To see what other settings (besides padding) are available, Click on Program reference: MetronomeMark; Notice the Standard settings listed; Click on this-interface and that-interface at the bottom to see more available settings; If you didn't know whether to use Score.MetronomeMark (rather than Staff.MetronomeMark or whatever), you could click on: MetronomeMark objects are created by: Metronome_mark_engraver and see at the bottom of that page: Metronome_mark_engraver is part of contexts: Score which would tell you what to use for Context in Context.MetronomeMark. If the context is Voice, then you can usually omit it, e.g.: \override TextScript ... instead of \override Voice.TextScript Hope that helps! Marcus P.S. I don't know about your second question, concerning instrument names. I would try removing '= Soprano' and see if that helps, but that's just a guess. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Guitar Tablature problems and Hammer on and Pull Offs
hi there,
http://www.nabble.com/file/3817/12bar.pdf 12bar.pdf
I have a few questions about tablature and putting hammer ons and pull offs.
I am using version 2.8.7 under Windows environment. And yes I am a newbie at
this and I cant seem to find anything in the docs to this.
Firstly when I put in some code for tablature and I want an Open E (6th
string) it puts the tab on the 12th fret on the 6th string. It does this
with all of my tab, its seems I cant get it to use open strings or under the
12th fret.
Example:
\header{
title=12 Bar Blues in E Major
composer = Andy D
}
\version 2.8.7
{
\time 4/4
\key e \major
e8 e gis gis
b b cis' cis'
e' e' gis gis
b b cis' (b)
}
\new TabStaff
{
e8\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 (b)\5
}
{
a a cis' cis'
e' e' fis' fis'
a' a' cis' cis'
e' e' fis' (e')
}
\new TabStaff
{
a\5 a\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 fis'\4
a'\3 a'\3 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 (e')\4
\repeat volta 1 {}
}
{
b b dis dis
fis' fis' gis' (fis')
a a cis' cis'
e' e' fis' (e')
}
\new TabStaff
{
b\5 b\5 dis\5 dis\5
fis'\4 fis'\4 gis'\4 (fis')\4
a\5 a\5 cis'\5 cis'\5
e'\4 e'\4 fis'\4 (e')\4
}
{
e e gis gis
b b cis' (b)
}
\new TabStaff
{
e\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6
b\5 b\5 cis'\5 (b)\5
}
Is there a way to force it?
Also when I put in the last area of tab I get 1 peice of tab per bar.
(Grrr!!!) I cant seem to solve this either. Is this a bug?
And my final question is on how do I do a hammer on and pull off in both tab
and normal notation?
Many thanks for your time and answers.
Andy D

It does this with all of my tab, its seems I cant get it to use open strings or under the 12th fret. Classical guitar is actually written one octave higher than it sounds (or vice versa, I forget). Use the comma to make the actual (as it sounds) notes one octave lower, to get e,8\6 e,\6 gis,\6 gis,\6 (for which the \6 actually becomes unnecessary) rather than e8\6 e\6 gis\6 gis\6 Things will then look right in the tablature. To compensate for this in the regular notation, use \clef G_8 rather than the standard treble clef. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
