Re: partial measure in figured bass
Please provide a complete example of what you tried. The following
example seems to work fine:
\new FiguredBass \figuremode {\partial 4 _4 3 3 6 }
/Mats
Quoting Victor Eijkhout [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
When I write
\partial 4 _4
I get:

What's the legal solution?

sponsorship request: minimum-measure-left-padding
Hello, all -- Now that I'm well into engraving several big piano pieces in Lilypond 2.11.23, it has become even more clear than ever that: (1) the initial padding in measures is unacceptably small (and, in some cases, zero); and (2) the various known workarounds are overly time-consuming and code-cluttering. For example, in the ragtime solo piano piece I'm currently engraving, close to 75% of the measures require some form of initial-padding tweaking -- and (grrr!) it's a different (amount of) tweak for almost every measure! =( Therefore, I would like a quote on what it would cost to include a user-adjustable property to set the minimum space which must appear in every measure between the last prefatory item (i.e., bar line, key signature, time signature, clef; is that it?) and the first musical element (i.e., notehead, accidental, arpeggio or other attachment, etc.). Thanks! Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
moving bar line engraver to staff level
I think this is a bug, but since I don't usually rely on the default bar line engraver, I'm sending this to user in case I'm doing something really dumb. The attached file is in 2/2, and should start with a partial measure, in both parts. If I don't include the \layout section, which moves the barline engraver to the staff level from the score level, it prints the way I expect. The file as written prints the first part as expected, but ignores the \partial statement for the second part. partialscore.ly Description: Binary data If it's a bug, does anyone know a workaround? If not, what am I doing wrong? -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
umlaut trouble; was Weird output
I'm post this to both bug- and -user as I'm not sure what's going on.
The following file is essentially self-explanatory:
%%% BEGIN LILYPOND FILE
\version 2.10.20 %% On Windows
\header {
title = \markup {
%% commenting out \italic allows proper rendering
\italic
äëïöüÿ
}
}
\score {
\relative c' {
c1
}
}
%%% END LILYPOND FILE
Leaving in '\italic' causes every umlaut to be rendered incorrectly.
It's looks rather like a single curly quote on its side.
I stumbled upon this problem in an odd way. My Linux laptop, where I
prefer to do my Lily work had something go wrong. There's some problem
with Xwindows. I was able to run it without X running and managed to
upload some work I did not have duplicated elsewhere. I simply uploaded
it to my web space and then downloaded it to another machine running
Windows. I was making some minor edits (jEdit) and some test prints.
All was well for a while. Then I noticed some anomalies. In a lyric an
umlaut-a had become an upper case A with tilde followed by the universal
currency symbol (I think). The lower case 'u' with grave was also
different. This was obviously some sort of encoding issue. I would
suppose something happened to these characters when they were placed on
the web server, or on their way back to me.
I was able to correct the 'u' with grave but not the umlaut-a nor any
other umlauted vowel. It's puzzling as I have gone through and tried
editing the input but in the case of the umlaut-a in the lyric line at
prints as A-tilde currency in the PDF.
Help?
-David

Re: sponsorship request: minimum-measure-left-padding
i think i second that... but isn't the collision of (for instance) flats with bar lines a bug/ defect? if not, i'll chip in - i've got hundreds of theory/analysis snippets that can't go to print as is and i can't go back to 2.10...i'm hoping this will be fixed before i have to tweak them all by by hand (the recent ones have eighth note spacers after each bar/clef). Cheers Damian btw, what are the best workarounds without adding spacers?

Re: sponsorship request: minimum-measure-left-padding
Hi, Damian --
but isn't the collision of (for instance) flats with bar lines a
bug/defect?
I think so, but currently it's not being given very high priority...
so I thought I'd try to escalate it! =)
btw, what are the best workarounds without adding spacers?
The two I've been playing with are:
(1) Adjust the BarLine #'spacing alist: difficult to really
understand how each setting interacts (or conflicts) with other
properties, so I avoid this.
(2) Adjust the #'X-extent of the offending element (i.e., the
one that Lilypond *should* be automatically adjusting): this is
definitely easier than (1), and essentially every grob responds to an
#'X-extent adjustment, but it's still a lot of manual labour when
you're adjusting nearly every measure, and every time the layout
changes you need to revisit every single adjustment.
Below is an example of fixing a flat-collision problem using method
(2). Although there is (IMO) a problem with every single measure in
the default engraving, my favourite is m. 4, where the flat looks
like it's part of the key signature... =\
Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: sponsorship request: minimum-measure-left-padding
hi kieren
thanks for those examples
most of my files are less than one page so this'll help - the layout
doesn't change that much by the time i've got to adjusting flat-
placement...
but i would like it to work better out of the box, i'm sure it used
to though, i've only been getting my hands dirty in the last few months
I think so, but currently it's not being given very high priority.
hope that's not true, but consider this a bump

lilypond-book and latex
Hi I want to write a report using lily and latex. Is there a way of using lilypond such that i dont have to interrupt my normal editing process? Normally i write tex documents with my preferred editor (vim with latexsuite) with completion, syntax highlighting, have previews, quickfix, etc. If i use lilypond-book i have to call latex on the generated document, find and fix errors in the original document, then call l-b again and so on. On the other hand i dislike to generate eps for the lily-snippets, because thats inflexible. Does anyone have an idea how to manage that in a clever way? Thanks, Sebastian ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: lilypond-book and latex
Sebastian == Sebastian Menge [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Sebastian Does anyone have an idea how to manage that in a clever Sebastian way? It's not especially clever, but I wouldn't dream of using lilypond-book without a Makefile to run the commands. So just set the Makefile up and run that from emacs. (Or presumably jedit, but I don't use that.) My Makefile says: %.pdf: %.lytex *.ly *.bib Makefile lilypond-book --output=out --psfonts $*.lytex cd out;eps-fix-bounding.sh $*.tex;latex $*.tex;bibtex $*.aux;dvips $(DVIPSOPTS) -h $*.psfonts -o ../$*.ps $*.dvi #cd out;latex $*.tex;bibtex $*.aux;dvips $(DVIPSOPTS) -h $*.psfonts -o ../$*.ps $*.dvi ps2pdf $*.ps $*.pdf You might not need to worry about the bibliography, and if you're not printing double sided you might not have to do the workaround (eps-fix-bounding.sh) for lilypond-book shifting everything to the right of where it should be, but even without that, I wouldn't try to do it without a Makefile. If you don't need the eps-fix-bounding workaround, you may prefer to use pdflatex rather than dvips and ps2pdf, but there's some reason I couldn't get the workaround to work in that context. -- Laura (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] , http://www.laymusic.org/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (501) 641-5011 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139 ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
