Re: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1)

2007-03-04 Thread Mats Bengtsson

I would recommend you to first make sure that the lilypond command
works correctly when you run in from a command prompt. Once you
have that working, you could integrate it with OOolilypond.
I just tried your example and it runs just fine with
lilypond -dbackend=eps testfile.ly

It's my third language, and I often mix it with French, my second (all three 
of which I started learning in childhood, but we concentrated on French), but 
I know it well enough to have translated a song into it.

OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1

2007-03-04 Thread luis jure

please excuse my ignorance, but are the authors of the lilypond plug-in
for openoffice monitoring this list? 

i visited http://ooolilypond.sourceforge.net/ but i couldn't find the
names of the developers or how to contact them.

i wanted to report that i couldn't make the plug-in work with
openoffice 2.1 on linux (gentoo). the plug-in installs and opens its
window, but it fails to compile any code, with this message:

lilypond: /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libstdc++.so.6: version
'CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by lilypond)

(btw, i'm using lilypond 2.10.19)

according to the web site, the plug-in was tested with OO 2.0.2, and
later "It is supposed to work an all Unix like operating systems with
OpenOffice.org 2.0.0 or higher installed."

i downgraded to 2.0.4 and it works, but not with 2.1. it's a pity
because i find 2.1 a great improvement over 2.0.4, which for me at
least is rather buggy...

best,

piano pedal lines over staff

2007-03-04 Thread Scott Miller
  I've tried different text span options, but cannot seem to get  
exactly what I'm after. Is there a way to have a piano pedal sort of  
line above the staff, with the end hook pointing down?


Somewhat like this (though a solid complete line, of course):

line-width in lilypond-book

2007-03-04 Thread Morten Lemvigh
I'm trying to set a songbook using lilypond-book with lilypond 2.10.2 
and latex with the geometry package. By some reason lilypond doesn't 
guess the right linewidth, so I have tried to specify it by:


\lilypondfile[line-width=10\cm]{infile.ly}

but that doesn't affect the linewidth. But if I set line-width in the 
layout block in the .ly-file, then it works nicely.


I would like the scaling to take place in the latex document, so if 
anyone could tell me, why it works in the one place but not in the 
other, I would be thankful!


Best regards,
Morten

General Thought on ChordNames Context and horizontal spacing

2007-03-04 Thread Ed Ardzinski
I was having problems with the horizontal spacing using the ChordNames context. 
 I tried to put in a post, but it was delayed (presumably due to the size of 
the attachment).  I cancelled the post because I found my work around, and 
think I understand the issue.
 
I was using a basic chordal rhythm of quarter - quarter - dotted quarter - 
eigth, tying the eight to the quarter that starts the next bar.  Some of my 
chords have fairly long names - E7sus4, Cadd9/add#11.  It seems that the 
engraver was basing the spacing on what would be needed with all the chord 
names printed, even though I had set the ChordChanges to true.
 
I worked around it by removing the chords in the ChordName context wheere they 
are not needed.  That is I replaced the chords inthe middle of each bar with 
rests.  Presto - score looks far more consise and readable.
 
I'm using v2.6.5 on a windows box.  I figured since I had not seen anything in 
the archives about this I'd post it for posterity, although I'm not sure how 
applicable this is to newer versions.

It's implied by the "--backend is now part of -d" comment at the

clarified the text.

I've noticed two problems, and I'm working on a third.

First, the LSR doesn't (AFAIU) like /include statements --- I think
this is because it runs in safe mode and won't do it for security
reasons. So you'll have to combine it all into one file. Second, the
LSR is running a stable Lilypond, so you'll need to modify your file
to use 2.10 syntax. This may not seem to be so hard -- if I comment
the version number it compiles cleanly.

I've had a very quick look at the file, and I'm having trouble getting
it to convert the ps into pdf. But it produces png without any hassle,
so I imagine this isn't the problem at the LSR's end.

but it does not compile.  I cannot tell if it is a line ending  
problem but it seems to find unnecessary double quote characters.   
Can anyone at least look at the LilyPond and tell me why this will  
not process on the server?  Thanks.
