Re: Adjusting space between lines
See the section on Vocal music (the main section, not any of the subsections). /Mats Quoting Stephen Torri [EMAIL PROTECTED]: In the annotated version of my sheet music I see that the spacing between measure lines is dictated by the variables 'next', 'space' and 'padding'. My problem right now is that too much space is being used between measure lines. I see equations used to calculate the spacing to be: next-padding (padding just below a measure line) space after next-padding (padding just above the next measure line) How can limit how much these two values can be?

Re: NoteHead direction
Thank you. Putting the notes in a chord form worked fine.
So this becomes a side question:
What is the property to change the notehead direction?

Re: Measures are not the right size for lyrics
Stephen: If you use \new ChoirStaff instead of GrandStaff, the lyrics do not seem to collide with the bars because the bars do not extend between clefs. It seems completely readable to me. I used 2.11.19. By the way, I've never seen Makefile used like this before. To engrave your music, I just did a make command and I got three scores: piano_a_flat.pdfpiano_c.pdf piano_c_lower.pdf In this case, only the first had lyrics. Is that how that is supposed to work? On Mar 10, 2007, at 4:11 PM, Stephen Torri wrote: I am finding that my lyrics are written starting literally on the bar ending the previous measure. They are also being written on the bar ending the present measure. Is there a way to have lilypond adjust the measure width so that its not doing this? Attached are my lilypond files incase this will help.

how to set staff size in safe mode
How can I set the staff size in safe mode? I've only been able to find
two ways in the documentation: set-global-staff-size and
layout-set-staff-size, and neither one works in safe mode. I get this
error:

This seems like a bug, so I forward it to bug-lilypond. For example,
#(set-global-staff-size 16)

Re: Skips in lyricsto
Mats Bengtsson mats.bengtsson at ee.kth.se writes:
If you still end up using \skip, the duration of each \skip
shouldn't matter at all, so you could just as well use
\skip 4 or whatever.
That's what I do, usually in the context of a voice having different lyrics from
the other voices only for a fraction of a piece.
\repeat unfold 40 { \skip 4 }
I do agree that the \skip /duration/ syntax is confusing in a lyrics context.

Bug in lilypond-book-preamble (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1))

lilypond -dbackend eps lilypond-book-preamble.ly

I haven't made any changes, but here is the contents of

I still wouldn't know what the correct syntax should be.

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.

Speaking of beaming, where should I use #override-auto-beam-setting if I want to specify beaming behavior for the entire (polyphonic) piece?

Re: Center-aligning objects in Scheme
Hi Vivian,
I posted a message to this list a few days ago about automatically
center-aligning some text under a Hairpin object (for example molto or
poco ) but haven't received any responses. Whilst I've found how to
combine markups using combine-at-edge I can't find how to center-align
one to the other (if indeed this is possible, which I would hope it is.)
Could someone give me some pointers about where to begin? It would save
me a lot of time if I could get this working.
Below is a a piece of code that hopefully solves your problem. My scheme
knowledge is still quite limited and I have almost no experience in
using lilypond's scheme functions, so any gurus may want to make this
ad-hoc hack considerably shorter or more elegant. But at least I hope it
works.
Cheers,
Max

Not a lilypond-book-preamble.ly bug (was RE: -b eps option (was RE: OOolilypond and openoffice 2.1))
It helps if you include the = in the -dbackend=eps option. You can see
from my previous message that I read the documentation correctly. We all
make mistakes. :-)
Is it possible to include more helpful error messages for the command line
options, when somebody gets a chance?
It appears that I have OOoLilyPond working now, but there are some issues:
1. The default templates with OOoLilyPond assume simple notes, you have to
modify the templates to delete the { and } before and after the snippet in
order to accept a \score {} block. Since the discussions on the list
indicate that the project is leaning toward requiring \score {} blocks in
the future, the default templates probably need to be updated.
2. The eps images paste into the swriter file transparent, you can't view
and proofread the music until you print -- I can't figure out how to change
this. It's really annoying. The documentation says the image is supposed to
be in low resolution, not invisible.
3. The temporary files are in the C:\WINDOWS\Temp directory, if you have
find the OOoLilypond.ly and OOoLilypond.out files to debug a problem.
Looking at the OOoLilypond.ly file is the only way to see how your music
snippet really looks to the LilyPond compiler.
