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.


(I don't normally give a monkeys about this, but other people might...)

Dear all,

I don't know whether this will be helpful at all, or whether it will just be
some silly remark from an inexperienced user, but at least it may prevent
future inexperienced users from making the same mistake:

I have been struggling with the same problem as Bob, and at first I also
didn't succeed in making it work even when reading this thread.
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.

In your example, you had forgotten to name the Voice context. Just 
replace the
first line by
Voice = \new Voice = notes { c4 d8 d e4~ e }
and it seems to work as desired.

Another approach is to use the alignAboveContext property:
\score {

\Voice

}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = myStave } { \set associatedVoice

Finally, I noticed that you didn't use the support for hyphens in

If the A4 document that you want to print includes (= leaves empty)

you need to use backslashes before each of the spaces like this:

a lot of the specifics here depend on which window manager you are using
(i.e. kde, gnome ...).

if you're using kde, just right click on any pdf file and select properties.
then push the button that looks like a wrench. here you can choose which program
is the default for opening this file type and a lot of other things.

Then, there is no need to keep both ends of a tie in the same Voice

voices to understand why the slurs didn't work when you used the

is closer to what you wanted.

Notice that there's no need to use a \book block in your file (unless you
want more than a single output PDF file from the same input .ly file,
in which case you should have one \book block for each output PDF).

Because the two arpeggia overlap you actually have two voices, and 
therefore need to typeset them in two voices.
In the following i use the treble-voice for the first and the bass-voice 
for the second.  (You need to change stem-direction and slur-direction 
yourself)

Really no need to use any tricks.
The composer clearly sees the two arpeggii as separate voices and you

Easier override access to shape note styles?

2007-01-19 Thread Trevor Bača

Hi,

It's easy to override a notehead to a harmonic diamond with the usual
override syntax:

 \once \override NoteHead #'style = #'harmonic

On the other hand, the only way I can figure out to override a
notehead to a filled diamond is with the  shapeNoteStyles setting ...

 \once \set shapeNoteStyles = ##(mi mi mi mi mi mi mi)

... which is messier.

Question: is there a way to access the shape note styles (like the
filled diamon, tilted triangle, square, wedge, etc) with the usual
override syntax instead with the shapeNoteStyles setting?

Re: Easier override access to shape note styles?

 Hi,

 It's easy to override a notehead to a harmonic diamond with the usual

  \once \set shapeNoteStyles = ##(mi mi mi mi mi mi mi)

 ... which is messier.

 Question: is there a way to access the shape note styles (like the
 filled diamon, tilted triangle, square, wedge, etc) with the usual
 override syntax instead with the shapeNoteStyles setting?

have you tried

  #'style= #'mi

Huh; you're right. I thought for sure I checked and that wasn't
possible. But it is.

\new Staff {

White diamond, black diamond, and possible small sponsorship?

2007-01-19 Thread Trevor Bača

Hi,

The black diamond shape notehead carries a different shape than the
white diamond harmonic notehead.

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version 2.11.7

\layout { ragged-right = ##t }

\new Staff {
  \override NoteHead #'font-size = #3
  \once \override NoteHead #'style = #'harmonic
  c'4
  \once \set shapeNoteStyles = ##(mi mi mi mi mi mi mi)
  c'4
}

%%% END %%%


Does anyone know a way to get a black diamond notehead that carries
exactly the same shape as the white diamond harmonic (a filled
harmonic, in other words)?

I've poked around and don't believe this is currently possible.

If I'm correct and it is, in fact, not currently possible, would
anyone be interested in creating such a notehead? I'd be willing to
put a small bounty of some euros on it. (Seems like making this filled
harmonic glyph might be a fun side project for somebody who's been
looking for an excuse to dive in and modify the source, and therefore
might not distract Han-Wen, which is another bonus.)

If interested, please let me know ...

Tremolo repeat with Staff change

is there a simple way to typeset a tremolo repeat with a staff change

if i run lilypond on the following snippet, the tremolo looks like
expected, but activating either octavation or staff change, the barcheck
fails and the tremolo bars don't follow the second chord to the upper
staff.

 2. In lilypond version 2.8 and earlier it was possible to notate as I'm
wanting, so the newest lilypond version is a regress compared with
earlier versions, and I'm insisting, that this is a bug.

I don't think that lily 2.8 was supposed to do this; it was a fortunate 
bug.


Why should *being able* to do something that ones wants to do (as long as 
it isn't harmful in some way) be considered a bug?

I don't, I must admit, remember exactly what he was trying to do.

Fermata on final double bar

2007-01-19 Thread Jonathan Henkelman
I am trying to typeset a piece of music that has a fermata above and below the 
final double barline.  I have come across the \mark command in the manual, but 
am having difficulty getting it to work when there are no notes after it.  
Does anyone have any hints on how to typeset this?  Does anyone have any idea 
what this means musically, i.e. maybe I'll just typeset the fermata over the 
final note!

Thanks in advance
Jonathan

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.

making fermata effect the MIDI output? tempo along bezier curves?

2007-01-19 Thread Ted Walther

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...

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

marks means to hold the note longer.

I think it's the robbing the next note of some duration part that I disagree
with. My experience is that a fermata has no effect on the following note. 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.

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?
