Chord, variables and comments [beginner]
Hello,
sorry if the question was already asked,
but I didn't find the answer in the
archive (maybe I don't know which keyword to use).
So, I'd like to put the guitar chords into a variable in order to reuse them,
e.g.
GuitarChordC = {e, c e g c' e'1}
First, I would like to put the duration outside the variable
GuitarChordC = {e, c e g c' e'}
{ \GuitarChordC 1}
but it does not seem to work. Is there any way to do something like that?
Second, I'd like to put a comment, something like
GuitarChordC^bla
but it does not seem to work either. Is there any way to do something like that?
Thanks in advance

LilyPondTool 2.10.0
Hi, I've just released a new version of LilyPondTool, supporting LilyPond 2.10. The most important change is that the new, full lilypond parser is quite stable (i.e. no false alarms on the regression test files). So you should turn it on. That means, that you can safely turn on SideKick's parse on keystroke and it will show you the syntax errors on the fly, while you are typing! It will find even find errors like: c d e.4 However, there still may be false alarms, so you have an easy way in the LilyPond toolbar to switch the new parser on and off. If you find some file that should be accepted, please send it to me. Bert ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
same note, different accidentals
Hello --- I have only recently started using LilyPond, so this may be a newbie question, but I didn't find a solution anywhere. I am typesetting a piece where, on the same beat, one voice has a b, while the other has a b flat. Even when I use the NoteColumn property to separate the stems, LilyPond insists on only setting one accidental, which of course is not going to work ... Of course I could write the b flat as an a sharp (and since it's a piano part, it doesn't make a difference), but that doesn't seem quite satisfactory. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Control MIDI channels
Hi, Is there a way to control which MIDI channel a stave will get? In a 4-vocal + chords score the chords seem to get channel 4, and the vocals get 5, 6, 7, and 8. I want to split out the parts, but my synthesizer can only control tracks 1-5 individually. So it would be nice if I could explicitly designate a MIDI channel for each voice. Is that possible? Thanks, Johan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: percussion midi ?
As long as you use a DrumVoice context to typeset the percussion, the MIDI output should automatically contain the corresponding drum sounds in channel 10. /Mats Simon Dahlbacka wrote: Hi all, I'm trying to add some percussion to my music and cannot seem to get midi working sensibly for the percussion, my assumption is that I cannot get lily to use midi channel 10.

Re: Control MIDI channels
It seems that the only way you can influence the channel numbers is by the
order you specify the different staves/lyric lines/chord names. Can you
figure out what ends up on channels 1-3, maybe lyrics? It that's the case,
you could try to specify them in another order in your \score{...} block,
either by using a separate \score{...} block for the MIDI output or by
using \set Staff.alignAboveContext = ... to get the correct vertical order
in the printed output.
Send a small but complete example to the mailing list if you need more
specific instructions.

Re: same note, different accidentals
Tricky! I'm not sure what the best typesetting practice is for such a
situation.
You might want to use tricks like
\version 2.8.0
\relative c''{
{c b! c d } \\ { c s64 bes4*15/16 a4 g}
}
\layout{ragged-right=##t }
To get a reasonable output.

Re: Chord, variables and comments [beginner]
It seems that a standard preprocessor like m4 should be the best
solution to
your problems. If you search the mailing list archives, you will find a
number
of discussions related to preprocessors for purely textual replacement in
LilyPond input files. LilyPond itself does not (and will not) include any
such preprocessor, since it just would make the program larger and more
complicated to support and since there are several freely available
preprocessors
that can be used. On the other hand, it is possible to implement your
own functions
in LilyPond, using the Scheme programming language, see the section
Advanced tweaks with Scheme in the manual, but for your purpose, I think
a standard preprocessor is simpler and better.

Re: LilyPondTool 2.10.0
Hi, I couldn't tell you how much valuable LilypondTool was for me ; this is definitely the way I would recommend to anyone starting with music typesetting (though I don't like jEdit very much, maybe a standalone lilpond-integrated editor would be much better, like in OSX-lilypond). There's still something I can't get : where is the most up-to-date LilypondTool build ? in jEdit plugin repositories ? At sourceforge.net/projects/lily4jedit ? On a CVS ? At organum.hu ? Or maybe is there no more difference between those versions ? (As far as I can tell, I do not see any 2.10 version on any repository...) Thank you again for this great job.

2.10 questions
Many thanks to the all the diligent developers and users for 2.10 and the
previous versions.
I'm now running 2.10 on xubuntu (ubuntu 6.06) and I have several questions
about lilypond 2.10:
1. It looks like hairpinToBarline is set true by default. The changes doc
makes it sound like you have to turn it on to get it to work:
By setting hairpinToBarline, hairpins will stop at the barline preceding the
ending note.
I assume that it was intended to be set ##t by default, and the docs are just
phrased from a 2.8 point of view. If this is so (here's the question) is it
##t by default because that's the common consensus of traditional old-school
engraving -- or is it just 'cause?
2. It looks like you can't put \tempo= inside \
midi{ } anymore. Lilypond complains about it in my 2.8 files, and after I've
run convert-ly, I see it replace by something like this:
\midi {
\context {
\Score
tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 90 4)
}
}
The 2.10 manual (p 232) seems to say that only the \tempo command that goes
with the notes (producing a metronome mark unless forbidden to do so) affects
the tempo of the midi file. The manual's a little confusing here actually,
because the example shows the curly brackets empty for the midi block, and
tells us that in this example the tempo is set to 4=72. How? By leaving it
empty? So 72 is default? What am I missing?
So, the only ways to set a tempo for the midi file without adding a metronome
mark are to add and a metronome mark, but make it invisible, or else do that
kind of longish thing with the scheme-indentifier in it, wherewith convert-ly
replaces the old \midi{ \tempo = ... } deal. Right?
Is there a shorter way, or can I somehow re-instate the 2.8 method in my
lilypond installation? I often make midi files, but rarely require a
metronome mark.
3. When I run 2.10 on any files (before or after convert-ly) I get lots of
messages that say programming error: no solution found for Bezier
intersection, continuing, crossfingers
The files still compile, but I wonder if it's okay to uncross my fingers now.
[8^)
4. (the dumbest question of all) Why 2.10? What's wrong with 3?
Thanks again. Please pardon my verbosity and probably my utter density
regarding all of the above.
Fr. P
PS. My, what lovely shapenote heads!

binary eps files in 2.10 break lilypond-book workaround
Sometime very late in the 2.9 release cycle, the eps files generated by lilypond-book (on ubuntu edgy linux; presumably really by lilypond -b eps) became binary instead of text. This means that I can't fix the bounding box problem http://www.mail-archive.com/lilypond-user@gnu.org/msg25162.html by using Arvid's sed workaround any more. Can we either get the bounding boxes to be right in the first place or change the EPS files back to text files? Or does someone feel like writing a program that fixes them in the binary file? I don't understand why this is either a feature or a bug that's difficult to fix. I really want to be able to print books two-sided, and there's no way I'm going to be able to do that with lilypond-book in its current state. I understand that this bug isn't important to people who only use lilypond-book for including music snippets in a text, but if you're writing a real music book, it's a critical bug. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

polyphonic layout
Hello, I am new to this mailing list. I hope it's ok to ask these questions here. If not, please excuse. I want to write a score with two systems and two voices in the lower system. I found some trouble with it. 1) In the upper system I need a full 6/8 rest. But r1 stands for 8/8 rest. How do I get the full rest, hanging centered at the fourth line? 2) In the second measure I would prefer stems down. I think this would be correct, since the notes g and d are equal far away from the middle line. 3) The lower system has an overlay of the rest and the g. I assume Lilypond counts the voices from top to bottom. So I changed the order in the second measure. But this gives a too high rest. It should be from third to fifths line. 4) The slurs in the lower system should be in opposite to the stem. I tried to set the parentheses inside the angle brackets to get them bound to d-g and es-g but then they disappeared at all. I hope I have not violated the culture in this mailing list. Disclaimer: When I write it should, I mean these are the notation rules I know. I don't know in what way Lilypond could see this automatically. With I high probability I have used Lilypond in the wrong way. I don't want to critic the program and hope you can give me advises how to handle.

Ah. Try putting the repeat inside each Staff context. When you add alternate
endings LilyPond should automatically do The Right Thing at the score level.
You also have problems here with the beats in each bar --- something that is
easier to spot once it compiles!
You also have a few stylistic things you could do to make bughunting easier
(and these are all in the manual, but I'll let you find them.).
First, add a /version statement. It makes upgrading easier, and it stops the
annoying warning.
Second, add bar checks. This is incredibly impoirtant if you're doing this sort
of music with complicated rhythms.
Third, only put one bar to a line. It makes finding things easier later on.
Because I'm a *really* nice guy (no, really! I am!) I've reset your two pieces
for you taking these notes into account so you can see how it probably should
be done. I've also added a few touches like adding instrument names to the
staff. I've had to change some of the rhythms to fit the bars --- I've applied
no sense of musical sensitivity and just forced 'em where needed!

I hope I have not violated the culture in this mailing list. No, but it's good if you can show an example of what you tried so we can see where you've gone wrong. It's also good if you can show where in the manual you've looked for information. If it's not there or easy to find we consider this a bug, and we'll gladly listen to suggestions about how to fix it. Of course, if you don't know what you're looking for it's hard to look. Disclaimer: When I write it should, I mean these are the notation rules I know. I don't know in what way Lilypond could see this automatically. With I high probability I have used Lilypond in the wrong way. I don't want to critic the program and hope you can give me advises how to handle. LilyPond has a set of notation rules it follows, and these can be changed by the user up to a point. The rules it follows are generally considered the Right Way to do things, but if you disagree you are always welcome to ask!

virus warning: guile.exe
Hello, I installed Lilypond and now I get warnings from F-Prot about guile.exe. The virus scanner gives the warning: Infection: Possible a new variant of W32/Threat-HLLSI-based!Maximus Is this infection real at the lilypond web server? If this only is a mistake of the scanner it comes probably by similarities of the compiled guile. Is there an easy way to compile lilypond in my cygwin environment to get rid of these annoying warnings?

Try using R1 (capital R). The symbol, whilst usually associated with 8/8 is
also correct for a full bar of any time signature. If you don't want that, try
r2. which will give you a dotted minim rest.
In 6/8, you should use R2. to get the correct duration, see the sections
on Rests
and Multi measure rests in the manual.
2) In the second measure I would prefer stems down. I think this would be
correct, since the notes g and d are equal far away from the middle line.
If you want to force stems down use \stemDown and reset it later with
\stemNeutral. This is in the manual at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Stems.html#Stems
I rather guess that you want to use the {...} \\ {...} feature,
described
in the section on Basic polyphony.
3) The lower system has an overlay of the rest and the g. I assume Lilypond
counts the voices from top to bottom. So I changed the order in the second
measure. But this gives a too high rest. It should be from third to fifths
line.
Try setting the rest manually with something like d'/rest (the d' specifies
where the rest goes. Look at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Rests.html#Rests
Again, first try the {...} \\ {...} feature if you haven't already
done that.
LilyPond is fairly good at avoiding collisions between voices by default.
4) The slurs in the lower system should be in opposite to the stem. I tried
to set the parentheses inside the angle brackets to get them bound to d-g
and es-g but then they disappeared at all.
Sorry, can't help without seeing it.
Sorry Cameron for being picky.
