caesura again

2007-03-05 Thread Paul Scott

What would it cost to get a better caesura (railroad tracks)?  I will
consider sponsoring it.  Here are examples of caesuras attached.
It should be a pair of parallel lines not two distorted commas.

I sent this once but one of the attachments was rejected.

Thanks,

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

The problem is that lilypond is executed in the environment of
OpenOffice.org, that has several special presets to use the OOo
version of shared libraries. In this case, the culpit is
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

In OOOLilypond's Config, change LilyPond Executable from 

   lilypond

to

   env LD_LIBRARY_PATH= lilypond

(Note the space between = and lilypond!).

Alternatively, you can make a small shell wrapper script and use that
instead of lilypond:

   #!/bin/sh
   LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
   exec /usr/bin/lilypond ${1+$@}

Please search the mailing list archives for related discussions.
As far as I can remember, the main problem has been to find a
layout, preferably from some printed score following the same
general layout ideals that Han-Wen and Jan prefers.

Re: piano pedal lines over staff

2007-03-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson

If you really want to use it as a piano pedal bracket, then you can do
   \override Staff.SustainPedalLineSpanner #'direction = #UP
   \override Staff.PianoPedalBracket #'edge-height = #'(-1.0 . -1.0)

Otherwise, use ordinary text spanners with
\override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'()
   \override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(1.0 . 1.0)

Note that this answer refers to version 2.10 or earlier. In version 
2.11, the

edge-height property of TextSpanner has been replaced by a much more
clumsy construct. To figure out the exact details, enter the two lines above
into a text file and run convert-ly --from=2.10.0 on that file.

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

Re: caesura again

2007-03-05 Thread Maximilian Albert
Hi Paul,

before an official solution is found maybe something like the code
below is a bit closer to what you have in mind. It is based on the
definition of \slashSeparator in ly/titling-init.ly, but the result is
still a bit ugly and not precisely what you want because the 'flat ends'
of the slashes are on the left and right, not top and bottom edges. I am
not sure if there is a command to reflect the slashes along some axis,
which would yield a better result.

But maybe it's of some use anyway. You can play around with the slope,
width and thickness settings of the slashes to fit your needs. Note that
if you change the slope you will have to adjust the width as well in
order to approximately preserve the length (I admit that it's not a nice
hack, and quite an ad hoc one, too ;)).

Cheers,
Max

Re: tidy piano glissandi

2007-03-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson
If you just want the line to indicate that a voice passes between the 
staves,
look in section Staff switch lines in the manual. If you want a 
glissando,
just make sure to let keep the musical voice in one and the same Voice 
context

and let it switch stave:
g4 \glissando \change Staff = up c
See Manual staff switches.

Right now I can't get the two clefs

The bass clef gets shoved down to make way for 
multiple ledger lines dropped from the treble.  
I've searched previous threads without finding ideas on 
how to simply inform the bass clef voice of its 
interaction with the treble clef voice.

What to do next?

Markup extand

2007-03-05 Thread yota moteuchi

In order to add a tempo mark, I use a tweak found on the lilypond
documentation website :

tempoMark = #(define-music-function (parser location markp) (string?)
#{
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #left
   \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(+inf.0 .
-inf.0)
   \mark \markup { \smaller \italic \bold $markp }
#})

I work perfectly but I don't understand why in the viola part (see example),
starting with 12 whole rests, the tempoMark push the first bar away. While
it doesn't behave like this elsewhere.

Re: Tricks and overrides for vocal music

2007-03-05 Thread Mats Bengtsson



Arvid Grøtting wrote:



Also, do you happen to know how to bring dynamic
marks a bit closer to the staff by default? 



I'm not quite sure, but read the fine manual; it's probably in there.

  

The default is already fairly close, in my opinion. However, you can reduce
it somewhat more by reducing the padding:
\override DynamicLineSpanner #'padding = #0.1
(the default is 0.6).

Finally, are there any
other overrides you suggest for vocal pieces?



Oh, lots.

...
If you have on-and-off lyrics, you may want this:

\override Score.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t  

  

This has been the default for lyrics for a long time now. No need to
specify it explicitly!

This of course depends on proper use of this:

\context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }

Here's a few more tricks:

  \new Staff = tenors \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'keep-fixed-while-stretching = ##t
  } 
\clef treble_8
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup{
   vcenter Tenor 
   \column {
 \hcenter I
 \hcenter II}}

You'll want #'keep-fixed-while-stretching to be ##t on any staff that has lyrics
attached above it, and #'keep-fixed-while-stretching = ##f on lyrics that are
above a staff, not below another.

This one only applies to the latest 2.11.x releases, not to 2.10!


Also, vocal voices tend to do things, ehm, differently, so I have these instead
of \oneVoice, \voiceOne and \voiceTwo:

songVoice = {
  \dynamicUp
  \phrasingSlurUp
  \slurUp
  \override TextScript #'direction = #1
}

songVoiceOne = {
  \songVoice
  \override RepeatTie #'direction = #1
  \voiceOne
}
  

This seems to set the same properties twice! As far as I can see, you can
just as well say

songVoiceOne = {
 \dynamicUp
 \override RepeatTie #'direction = #1
 \voiceOne
}

and get the same result.

songVoiceTwo = {
  \dynamicDown
  \phrasingSlurDown
  \override TextScript #'direction = #-1
  \override RepeatTie #'direction = #-1
  \voiceTwo
}
  

Again, you can remove some redundancy, since \voiceTwo already sets
the direction of phrasing slurs and text scripts.

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

2007-03-05 Thread Paul Harouff

Thanks, Graham.

I failed to mention that the -dbackend=eps option works outside of OOo. I
verified that before making the changes to Subs.xba.

I think this is some other script error inside OOoLilypond passing a bad
value to Lilypond, but I don't have a clue from the LilyPond error message
where to look.

Even thinking about using LaTeX and LilyPondBook gives me chills. And while
LilyPond is great at handling musical notation, it is horrible at handling
text outside of a score (which is completely understandable - because that's
not what it's designed for). OOoLilypond looks like it could be a real
production tool for laying out hymnbooks and worship services, etc., by
combining the strengths of LilyPond and OOoWriter. I'm really excited to see
if I can get it working and try it out.

multiple repeats

I have a 4 bar passage that repeats 5 times (i.e., ||: 4 bars :|| x
5) with no alternate endings.  I'm engraving this with the repeat
volta syntax, specifying that it's played 5 times, yet the output

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.

Good to see!

There is one problem --- the explanatory note is extremely large, and
dwarfs the picture of the snippet itself. There also seems to be a
problem with the line wrapping. I've tried to htmlise the explanation,
but without any success, and I'll spend a bit of time this evening
trying to get it working. However, it might be better to put the
explanation in a comment in the lily code, and a note to that effect
in the explanation. This way the explanation will stay with the
snippet, and will be a little easier to read.

I can't see any problem with wrapping... what do you see?

To clarify this, you're talking about the technical stuff later on, 
right?  The initial text about chants is beautiful and should definitely 
remain in the description.



I have some other issues with the using the template section:

1.  Don't stick stuff inside the LilyPond app.  You can use directories 
inside your \include, as in

\include ~/lilyincludes/my-init.ly

2.  I'm not certain that the info about lilypond-book is appropriate 
here.  The anglican template is quite usable on its own, and your 
texinfo tweaks (headers) are quite usable on _their_ own.  Maybe the 
lilypond-book stuff (with the headers and footers) could go in a 
separate snippet?   (I'm not really certain about this; LSR is optimized 
for pure lilypond snippets, but it would be nice to have _somewhere_ to 
stick neat tricks like this)


3.  I think the shell script and directory listing are going a bit 
overboard.



The lilypond template itself looks awesome, though.  Thanks!

Cheers,
- Graham
