No Midi w/ crescendo
I am using lilypond 2.8.6 If I use the following code snippet: a\< b c d\! then a silent passage will be produced in the midi output although the documentation says that unterminated crescendos will produce that. Can can this be overcome? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: The importance of a graphical interface.
Hello César ; Just a few words. I'm using the jEdit editor with the Lilypondtool plugin, which gives the ability to compile, preview and even play your score with simple shortcuts (a bit like the lilypond mac version) ; it is quite useable and very convenient to learn. I've tried denemo ; it's a bit rude but definitely useable to. I'm afraid they are'nt developing it anymore, and it's really a pity since it was the ONLY lilypond-oriented graphical editor. There's still the possibility to use NoteEdit or canorus to input your score and then convert it to lilypond. Or a good MusicXML editor (if anyone knows one) But : the lilypond language is a quite attractive language. For instance, I've begun learning Lilypond just one month ago ; and now with a /include "italiano.ly" (I'm French moi aussi) I can read my scores in genuine lilypond code ! That's why form now one I'm able to code directly in Lilypond language, without even draw any sketch on a sheet, except for massive and complex orchestral pages. Of course, this implies at least two things. -You've got to get used to "think" your music very globally, there's hardly a way to wonder "oh, what if I put a G instead of a F?", listen to it, revert to your F, and so on. -You've got to think very _VERY_ horizontally, and not vertically like in Sibelius or Finale. This has been the major difficulty to me. But if you think about it, you'll realize that it helps you indeed by making you work on larger sequences instead of just "fill" your score bar after bar after bar. One last thing. Lilypond is actually faster to me than Sibelius, as far as I haven't anymore to correct every little detail by hand to make my score look good. With Lilypond it does look good in most cases "out of the box" ; until now I've never used the \overwrite command. I'm just way too pleased when I see the work Lilypond has done. As a matter of fact, I've switched to linux in the mean time I've switched to Lilypond... But we can't ask everyone to do so, and therefore I agree it indeed lacks a decent user interface ; especially when you're used to Mac/Windows world, and a bit lost when you find yourself in front of a command line (by the way, I'm under linux and there is definitely no way to run your ABCedit here...) 2006/10/28, Mats Bengtsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I hope you have seen the question on graphical user interfaces at http://lilypond.org/web/about/faq /Mats Quoting César Penagos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Dears Lilyponders: > I'm a very in-love user of Lilypond, actually I have installed the 2.9.26 > version.

Re: The importance of a graphical interface.
Hello, it would be nice to be able to correct some things using mouse (most notably, slur shapes, system distances, markup positioning etc.) Shaping slurs using mouse is quite easy, but doing the same in .ly file is quite cumbersome.

(De)crescendo warning

Is
this user error, a known restriction or a bug?
