Re: ps and pdf question
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], Karl Hammar [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Anybody who wants to play tricks with ps files (and I am occasionally one of them) is free to invoke lilypond --ps, so this is a red herring. I agree with Laura: we should treat the .ps files are temporary and delete them. I have a script that does this automatically, but I think that deleting the .ps files is a good default option. Most users don't want ps, and many users who investigate the ps files won't know how to deal with them properly. Anybody who really wants a ps file can invoke with --ps. What is the big deal with pdf? From what I understand is that they are portable, but most pdf's I get from others does not show up good or at all in gv, xpdf or evince. It seems that they are portable in the sens that work with ths latest Adobe acrobat. For me, pdf means trouble. Why should I ever want to produce pdf's? And btw, the pdf's produces by current lilypond does not print either on my (postscript) printer. And IME (and I stress IME) pdf doesn't do what it says on the tin, anyway! In other words, it does NOT print accurately. I would LIKE to be able to print an A4 pdf on a sheet of A4 paper. It seems to me, however, that whatever I do, Acrobat always sticks the top left corner of the pdf in the top left corner of the printable area of the paper. Okay, that could well be down to crappy Windows drivers, and it could well work properly in *nix, but on Windows I either get a slightly smaller image than I should, or my top and left margins are slightly too big.

Re: Hiding empty staves

It turned out that I had rests at the beginning of the staff I wanted to hide, instead of the \skip command. Apparently (correct me if I'm wrong), rests (as opposed to a \skip) are considered real 'content', which is why they are not hidden. Yes, but the stave will be considered empty if it only contains full measure rests, like R1*3. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

He wasn't _telling_ lilypond to do it, and lilypond wasn't _deciding_ to do it. There was just a coincidence that it produced the result he wanted. It was an accident. Here's an example: pull one card from a deck of cards. The chance of getting that particular card is 1/52. Now stick that card back in the deck, shuffle it, and pull out another card. Don't complain if you don't get the same card as you did the first time. - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

making fermata effect the MIDI output? tempo along bezier curves?
When you see fermata in hymns, it almost always means hold the note longer, robbing the next note of some duration. If you do the durations explicitly, it messes up the meter and the printed sheet music. What would it take to get the fermata to show up in printed music, but have it do the time-robbing in the MIDI output? I'm thinking I'd like the duration of the fermata to be explicit, like it is with partial; g4\fermata 5*16 as an example. Then succeeding notes would be robbed until the lost time was made up, with no note being robbed of more than half its duration. Is there already something like this? It would be interesting to be able to set the tempo at various places, and have lilypond alter the durations in midi output to match the bezier curve generated by the tempo settings, so that at each place where the tempo is set, the tempo is exactly at the setting. Wonder what it would cost to sponsor that... I think this would help give a more human feel. And be nice to swap out curves; straight line curves, quartic curves...

Re: making fermata effect the MIDI output? tempo along bezier curves?
I am using the description of the fermata in the Sacred Harp hymnal, first published in 1844, now in the 1991 Denson edition. In the preface it clearly describes the meaning of the fermata mark, the dot with a semicircle around it. Also in all the hymnals I've seen, the fermata marks means to hold the note longer.

From wikipedia, A fermata (or hold or pause) is an element of musical notation indicating that the note should be sustained for longer than its note value would indicate. Exactly how much longer it is held is up to the discretion of the performer, but twice as long is not unusual. It is usually printed above, but occasionally below (upside down), the note that is to be held longer. Occasionally holds are also printed above rests or barlines, indicating a pause of indefinite duration. Note that this also talks about the fermata above barline topic that we had a bit earlier.

That's correct. In my experience the beat is temporarily suspended, and resumes when the music does, and so there is no effect on any subsequent notes. I haven't seen anything like what you dexcribe, but I would be interested to see a copy of the preface you refer to.

Re: making fermata effect the MIDI output? tempo along bezier curves?
I just looked through the prefatory material in the Sacred Harp and couldn't find the reference to robbing the next note of some time in a fermata. I must have read it somewhere else. I remembered it clearly because it did use the word robbing. That said, is there a way for the fermata to hold the note for some extra time in the MIDI output?
