Problem with tempo marking and processing
Hi.
I'm trying to insert movement titles in the beginning of measure.
For example, I have the following file called example.ly:
%SAMPLE BEGINS
\version 2.8.6
example = \relative c'' {
a4 b c d
}
\score {
\new Staff \example
\layout { }
}
%SAMPLE ENDS
If I define a command \tempoMark, as explained by Guide in Chapter 4...
%SAMPLE BEGINS
\version 2.8.6
tempoMark = #(define-music-function (parser location markp) (string?)
# {
\once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
\once \override Score . RehearsalMark #'no-spacing-rods = ##t
\mark \markup { \bold $markp }
#})
example = \relative c'' {
\tempoMark Allegro
a4 b c d
}
\score {
\new Staff \example
\layout { }
}
%SAMPLE ENDS
... Lilypond does'nt create either PS file or PDF, although it does'nt
give me error messages. It happens the same if I put tempoMark
definitions in another file and insert \include command in example.ly.
Could someone tell me where is my error in typing?
Thank you.

Partial and empty measures in a score
I'm editing a three-part fugue, and I'm typing notes in three separate files. The first voice starts with a partial measure, so the two first maesures are: \partial8*7 g'8 bes g a a c bes16 a bes8 ees ees ees a, d d d The second voice enters at measure 2. As the first measure has to be empty in separate part, I typed: R1 r4 g'2 f4 When I try to put all voices in a score, Lilypond does'nt recognise the first (partial) measure of the first voice as the empty one of the second voice, so alignment between staves is completely wrong. How could I work out this problem? Thanks you. Franek ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I do get an error message, even though it's maybe not so easy to decipher.
Just remove the space between # and { in the definition of tempoMark.
LilyPond is sometimes very picky about the syntax.

Re: Partial and empty measures in a score
The total duration of the first measure has to match between the parts (both to make LilyPond and the musicians happy). What do you want to see in the typeset output? I would either use a partial measure in both parts so the second part started with r8 r4 r2 or use a full measure in both parts, so the first part started with r8 g bes g ... If you absolutely want to typeset a full measure rest in the second part and only a partial measure in the first part, you could read section Scaling durations for a solution. /Mats Francesco Spiga wrote: I'm editing a three-part fugue, and I'm typing notes in three separate files.

converting Egmont Overture files - help!
I just discovered Lilypond last night in my search for an arrangement of the Egmont Overture. I am using a macmini running Tiger. I tried the three different versions of Lilypond and none of them will open the files for the individual parts for this arrangement. I tried running the update syntax and it doesn't work. and now I am running Fink and trying to get an older version of Lilypond and this is turning into a software nightmare for me - is there anyway to simply print these charts? Does anyone have them in an updated format that they can email to me?

Re: converting Egmont Overture files - help!
You didn't say where you found the files, but I assume you found them at www.mutopiaproject.org. I made a quick test to download the files, update the syntax and process the score and it seems to work fairly well. There are some warnings that indicate that the files used some features are no longer available (and probably no longer needed as well, due to improvements and bug fixes), so I see no need to dig for old LilyPond versions. On the other hand, you will still need to write your own .ly code to get each separate part, which is very simple if you just have some experience with LilyPond. /Mats Andrew Clark wrote: I just discovered Lilypond last night in my search for an arrangement of the Egmont Overture.

between-system-padding in multiple score blocks
Hi,
the between-system-padding value doesn't seem to work if more than one
score block is present. Is there any way to enforce this value to be
taken into account on formatting for both score blocks?
In the following example the systems are stacked together
vertically. Removing the second \score block, the
between-system-padding value is respected. To me it looks like a bug
but maybe there's something wrong in my understanding:
\version 2.11.7
\paper {
between-system-padding = 6\cm
}
\score {
\relative { \repeat unfold 24 { c4 d e f } }
\relative { \repeat unfold 24 { c4 d e f } }
}
\score {
\relative { \repeat unfold 24 { c4 d e f } }
\relative { \repeat unfold 24 { c4 d e f } }
}

Re: Constructive Criticism and a Question
On Tuesday 02 January 2007 22:29, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
... in irregular, tuplet-intensive music it may be sensible to create a
music function for sequences of tuplets. In addition, it's IMHO a more
lilypondesque solution than tupletSpannerDuration, once we support

If I understand you correctly, this would involve specifying, one way or
another, the duration of each actual tuplet. Explicit specification of a
duration (other than by an external tupletSpannerDuration declaration) has
been suggested by another user, and IMO it would be a good idea, although
I gather that Han-Wen is not in favour of the idea.
No, \tupletSequence 2/3 {{c d e} {f g a} {b c d}} would just be a shorthand
for \tuplet 2/3 {c d e} \tuplet 2/3 {f g a} \tuplet 2/3 {b c d}
It is problematic to use durations to decide the scaling of a tuplet; this has
been discussed previously in this thread. E.g., if you scale 3 8th notes to
duration 4, then it is unclear whether it corresponds to factor 2/3 or 4/6.
But I have a question about how one would specify a duration. Specifying
durations in the way we usually think about them allows actual durations
that look like this:
1== 1
2... == 15/16
2.. == 7/8
2. == 3/4
4... == 15/32
4.. == 7/16
4. == 3/8
4== 1/4
(etc.)
so that only durations of the form
2^(p-1) / 2^q (where p q)
can be specified this way. But given the extravagancies of contemporary
music, wouldn't it be possible, for example, to have a tuplet where 4
eighth notes would be played over a time interval of 5 eighths --
\times 5/4 {c8 d e f}
Or does such a thing never happen? If it does, then the tuplet's
duration, equal to 5/8 here, cannot be expressed simply by a dotted-note
notation such as in the preceding list.
you could always write 1*5/8, which is a valid duration.

Troubles with LilyPond on OOo 2.1
I'm working with Win XP Home SP2, OOo 2.1, LilyPond 2.11.8 and/or 2.8.8 (both didnt work). I've downloaded lp 2.11 i think, and installed it. I followed all of the instructions (and BTW - in 2.1 it's Import not Append, and it's a combobox not a radio button, and you can only choose My Macros) and installed the macro. Anyways, ive configured the macro, and tried to render a simple test. It failed and asked me to check the exe path for it's correction. The path was alright, but that still hasn't work. I dont know what the problem is.. Maybe it has problems with the 2.1 OO? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Problem with harmonics in tablature
Hallo list,
I have two problems with harmonics and tablature.
I've installed the 2.11.5-1 devel release to test the new features for
tablature,
I copied the snippet code from the website:
\paper {
# (define dump-extents #t)
ragged-right = ##t
indent = 0\mm
}
\layout
{}
\relative c'
{
\sourcefileline 72
\new TabVoice
{
c g'\harmonic d\2\glissando e\2
}
}
And I get this error messagge:

The 'slide' output is ok but there are't parenthesis 'round the number,
just white space.
The font 'CenturySchL-Roma.otf' doesn't seem corrupted,
it's the same of the last stable release.
It's the first time I install a devel release, maybe I made something wrong.
Any ideas?
The second problem is with the 2.10.4 version,
if I type the simple part of a scale:
{ g' \harmonic8\3 a' \harmonic\4 b' \harmonic\2 }
I find the second note at the 19th fret of the 4th string (I'm in standard
tuning), this is correct
(7th and 19th harmonics are the same) but how can I place it to the 7th fret?
{ g' \harmonic8\3 a \harmonic\4^\markup 8va b' \harmonic\2 }
This is the solution I've found but it's no good in notation
('a' in the second space, not over the staff).
Thank you in advance for helps.

Is there any way to enforce this value to be taken into account on formatting for both score blocks? The extra score block is a red herring: Lilypond uses 2 different values for padding: it uses page-breaking-between-system-padding while it calculates where to put the page breaks and between-system-padding when it decides where to actually place the systems. But if you set between-system-padding to something huge without modifying page-breaking-between-system-padding then the page-breaker will put too many systems on a page. When it comes to actually positioning the systems, they end up sticking out the bottom of the page and we need to ignore between-system-padding to compensate. I suppose we should print a warning in this case instead of just ignoring it silently. In any case, you should generally set page-breaking-between-system-padding to something close to between-system-padding. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Generating small fragments to be embedded into latex
Hello folks.
I am completing a PhD thesis in LaTeX; I need to embed some fragments
of music; actually, at this stage I am using notes to show a prosodic
rhythm, and make acomparison with music.
Here is a sample, a snapshot from a Word draft:
http://www.cnomania.it/garage/joyce-fragment.jpg
As you see, I need to put just the notes; I guess this could be done
in Lilypond through the use of the Rhythmic staff.
Here is what I've done so far:
\version 2.8.6
\new RhythmicStaff {
\time 12/8
\partial 8
d8 d4 d8 d4 d8 d4 d8 d8 d8 d8 d4 d8 d4 d8 d4
}
\addlyrics{ Some TIME She USED to PUT me THROUGH the re SPON se sof
the MASS }
Still, I have a number of problem.
1) I'd like to generate a 'small' pdf, to be embedded in a text,
rather than a regular page
2) I's like to eliminate the 'made with lilypond' text
3) Possibly, I'd like to make the rhythmic staff and the key transparent
4) I'd like to stretch the width of the staff, that is, not as large
as the page (some fragments are very short)
Can you help with any of these points?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Davide
