Measure number collision
I'm having a problem with the measure numbers colliding with the staff
tie (not sure of the correct name for the thing that ties two staffs
together). I'm running OS X 10.4 . Below is a fairly minimal example
that produces the problem for me. If others find the code doesn't
create the problem for them, I'll pass along a PDF.
I'm sure there must be a way to move those numbers around manually,
but I haven't looked that hard for it yet. This seems like a simple
enough case that lilypond should just do the Right Thing, so I have a
feeling I must be making some kind of stupid error in the layout of
the document. I think it follows rather closely the 4 voice template.
\version "2.10.20"
tenorOne = \relative c'' {
c4 c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
c c c c
}
tenorTwo = \relative c'' {
a4 a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
a a a a
}
baritone = \relative c {

}
bass = \relative c {

f f f f
f f f f

}
\score{
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = tenors <<
\new Voice = "one" { \voiceOne << \tenorOne >> }
\new Voice = "two" { \voiceTwo << \tenorTwo >> }
>>
\new Staff = basses <<
\clef bass
\new Voice = "three" { \voiceOne << \baritone >> }
\new Voice = "four"{ \voiceTwo << \bass >> }

\layout { }
}

LYEDITOR on OS X
I'm interested in trying out TextMate as an editor for Lilypond. Right now, support seems a little thin, but allegedly it's pretty easy to extend. Anyway, I can't figure out how to get point-and-click to open files in textmate instead of lilypad. In my .profile, I added: export LYEDITOR=mate #-a -l %(line)s %(file)s and it seems it's successfully set the value in my shell: jm843$ echo $LYEDITOR mate However, PDF links still open lilypad. My guess is that since lilypond isn't invoked from the shell, it's not getting the value from my .profile correctly, but I don't know what to do about it. Any suggestions?

Re: Post Install Bug
This probably doesn't answer your question, because I don't know whether
you wrote this line or the system did:
/usr/local//lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond
but there are 2 slashes ("//") after local, and there should be just one,
or else maybe there should be a bin between the slashes --
/usr/local/bin/lilypond/usr/bin/lilypond

Varying shape note heads varying by semitone
As another step toward in my path toward varying notation in LilyPond, I am varying note shapes by semitone. Usually, there are fewer than 12 note heads, but the semitone of the note determine the shape. My current implementation uses a function shapeLayoutFunction which returns an integer, which is an index into the vector shapeNoteStyles. This seems to work. The function description is: Function returning an integer which indexes into shapeNoteStyles vector. It takes an argument of pitch and tonic. Altnernatively, I could define a function which return a note head shape. Does anyone see a good reason to prefer one to the other. The first option has an advantage of using a small function like this: #(define (shapeSemitone pitch tonic) (modulo (ly:pitch-semitones pitch) 12)) plus an already standard vector. The second option has an advantage of everything being included in one variable, but the disadvantage of requiring slightly more complicated functions. For examples, see Twinline or kevin in this page: http://www.kelphead.org/chromatic/scales.html ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: beginning-of-measure padding value?
Hi, Mats --
This is a typical situation where you want to use
\override Score.SpacingSpanner #'average-spacing-wishes = ##f
Thanks for that tip -- I'm finally "getting it" with regard to
"average-spacing-wishes".
However, that doesn't fix the fact that Lilypond's spacing is
generally too close at the beginning of measures.
For example, here's a snippet which has no key signature, but
exhibits serious spacing problems in every bar, regardless of whether
a time or key signature is present:
\version "2.11.11"
\include "english.ly"
\paper
{
ragged-right = ##t
}
theMusic = \relative
{
\time 4/4
1\arpeggio
2.\arpeggio 4\arpeggio
af'8. af16 a4 a2
\time 3/8 aff8. af16 a8
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}
Until about 2.9, I felt like each version of LIlypond required
progressively less tweaking on my part to produce good-looking scores.
Since 2.9, it seems like it's required *more* work on my part. =(
Cheers,
Kieren.___

Piano Hook for the other Hand
Hi Don't know, how this thing is called. I don't know, if it has a name at all... I'm searching how to do this hook, which says: "Play this part of the cord just with the other hand". It's just a small horizontal bar with a stem up or down. How is this thing called and how do I set it with LP?

Re: vertical spacing
I seem to have partially answered my own question. I tried using the example in the docs regarding two-pass vertical spacing and it *did* make a noticeable differenceon most of the pages. On pages where the score was especially sparse the staves were set closer together, disrupting the pattern. How can this be fixed? Also, in the example of the two-pass method there is the line: \includePageLayoutFile Is this to be taken literally? I see that there was a generated file by the name of "score-page-layout.ly". Should I be using: \include "score-page-layout.ly"? David Bobroff wrote: > I'm working on the final touches to a score. It's fairly large. There > are 28 staves.
