If you are on Windows, I created this syntax highlighter for the Context
editor:

www.context.cx

Here is the highlighter plug in I created:

http://forum.context.cx/index.php?topic=1396.0

First download/install Context editor, then download/copy the highlighter
file to the appropriate directory, then whenever you open a ly file in
context it will be highlighted, it also separates scheme code from lilypond
code style-wise.  I entered around 700 or so lilypond reserverd words in the
highlighter and the sceme code appears with a gray background, it also
matches opening/closing brackets, hilights comments differently, etc. and
acceps unicode or ascii data.

Context is a great multi-tabbed, editor with a directory navigator, and
support for code libraries, etc.  I've been using it since July or so and am
very satisfied with it.

Re: Multiple sections in ChoirStaff

2006-12-01 Thread Geoff Horton

As an aside, I have used "\override Score . LyricText #'font-size =
#'-2" in each block of text to reduce the size of the font, but I'm
sure that it must be possible to do this globally.


It is. Add to your layout:

   \context {
 \Lyrics
 \override LyricText #'font-size = #-2

Thanks to all who replied with suggestions.  Below is my attempt
(which may have errors in it and certainly doesn't have all the
verses, so be warned if you use it) and as you see I have got the
refrain aligned with the first verse where ideally it would be
centred.

As an aside, I have used "\override Score . LyricText #'font-size =
#'-2" in each block of text to reduce the size of the font, but I'm

Re: Combining parts

This should be easy to do, using the support for so-called
"French score" described in section "Hiding Staves".
Just insert spacing notes or \skip commands in the
parts that should be removed. Read in "Instrument names"
on how to do the labeling.

OK, but don't hold your breath, I have but a few time at home.  Maybe
the usage documentation of the operators that are hard coded in the
parser could be added to the automatically generated one, in order to
have a full doc for keywords/functions.

Are you on Windows?  If so you need to tell the operating system that
"octavo" is a new form.  To do this go to:

Settings / Control Panel / Printers

From this dialog box go to the File menu and select "Server  
Properties"


On that dialog check the box that says "Create a new Form"

At that point create your "octavo" form with the sizing you want  
and save it

with the name "octavo".

Now the operating system and your printer drivers can play nice and  
both

understand this new form.

I would recommend to set them in a separate .ly file, that you include in

Also, read "Changing context default settings" to see how to make
global changes for all scores in a .ly file.

As far as I've seen, you've done very well with your wikibook. Maybe

I have a theory about this : a beginner might be better to explain to
other beginners, just because he has exactly the same problems...

Otherwise, I just followed the official tutorial, it's more or less a
"reorganization" (i.e. longer pages grouping topics together).

I just don't know this extension. Please add it anywhere (if you're
not familiar with the wikis, don't bother, I'll reshape it afterwards).

Re: Tutorial

2006-12-01 Thread Mats Bengtsson

Right! If you specify one or more header blocks at the top level of the
file, the last one will be used globally for all the scores in the file.
If you want specific titles for each score, include the header block
within the corresponding \score{...} block:
\score{
 ...
 \header{
   ...
 }
}

\score{
 ...
 \header{
   ...
 }
}

...

If you want to set the time signature style once and for all for all the 
scores, do

\layout{
 ...
 \context{
   \Staff
   \override TimeSignature #'style = #'()
 }
}
see "Changing context default settings" in the manual for more information.

- Increase the distance between one specific staff and the next.
You can try the same kind of trick. However, read the sections on 
vertical

spacing in the manual (and the section on page formatting).


I have, but I don't understand it yet so as to use it succesfully. I 
tried the trick, but either the title above or the music below 
dissapeared.
Exactly what did you try? It's much easier to provide good help if you 
include an

small but complete example of what you tried. Now we have to keep guessing.
(Of course, you could accuse me of being just as vague in some of my 
answers,

but that's partly intentional from my side, for pedagogical reasons).



- Increase the distance between the last staff and the end of the 
page (my printer keeps cutting off the last staff's first line)
Do you, by chance, print on letter size paper? LilyPond will by 
default produce
its output for print on A4 size paper. Read in "Paper size" on how to 
change
this setting. Also, in the printout window on Acrobat, you can mark 
that you
want to scale the output to fit on your available paper, but that 
should never

be necessary if you tell the correct paper size to LilyPond directly.


I use A4 paper. I think the problem is in the printer, because it 
happens also when printing from other programs, so I would fiddle the 
layout to avoid the suspected printer bug.
In that case, I would first adjust the bottom-margin parameter, 
described in "Page formatting".

You can have multiple things in the \layout block, like this:

 \layout {
   indent = 0.0\cm
   \context {
 \Score
 \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
   }
 }


Now it worked, thank you. Oddly, I get an error message though  
everything seems to be fine. Do I ignore it?


Since you don't say what error message you get or include your file  
in the email,

it's impossible to provide any help here.


It says "gescheiterte Dateien".



I have been looking in the manual but couldn't find how to do  
these things:


- Get more distance between the title and the first staff.
There's currently some work in the development version 2.11 on the  
exact
positioning of the title. However, the simplest trick is to add  
something that

takes space but doesn't show up in print, for example
\header{
 title = "My title"
 arranger = "   "
}



This worked just fine.



- Increase the distance between one specific staff and the next.
You can try the same kind of trick. However, read the sections on  
vertical

spacing in the manual (and the section on page formatting).


I have, but I don't understand it yet so as to use it succesfully. I  
tried the trick, but either the title above or the music below  
dissapeared.




- Increase the distance between the last staff and the end of the  
page (my printer keeps cutting off the last staff's first line)
Do you, by chance, print on letter size paper? LilyPond will by  
default produce
its output for print on A4 size paper. Read in "Paper size" on how  
to change
this setting. Also, in the printout window on Acrobat, you can mark  
that you
want to scale the output to fit on your available paper, but that  
should never

be necessary if you tell the correct paper size to LilyPond directly.

However, this section is not quite up-to-date. Especially regarding my 
child, LilyPondTool :-) Look at http://lilypondtool.organum.hu (Demo and 
Documentation/Flash tutorials would give you an impression of what it does)

There's a section on "Editor support" in the manual, did you read that?
Also, you could try to search the mailing list archives to get even 
more hints.

Re: convert-ly, musicxml2ly, etc. problems

2006-12-01 Thread Bertalan Fodor

Well, that doesn't work in 2.10.0-2, and (according to Rick) in 2.11.x

Because with that you get the message:

C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin>python -v convert-ly -h

I think a more effective solution is to rename the offending scripts
to have a .py extension.  Doesn't that work?
