Re: How to have fingerings in bold?
It's much easier to answer these questions if you include a (small but complete) example that illustrates what you have done so far. /Mats Griff Miller wrote: I now have run across two more problems: 1) How do I prevent Lilypond from placing the fingering higher than others for the tonic? I've searched the web for fingering together with tonic and can't find the answer. 2) Perhaps I am asking LP to do too much, but how do I get horizontal brackets to float above my fingerings (I force all fingerings to go above the note with ^ and I have an override in place that makes the the horizontal brackets go above the staff). I realize that it would be better to use - for fingerings and let LP decide where to put them, but I am trying to match a requirement that they all be above (this is an instructional project). I guess I could override each bracket's vertical position on a case-by-case basis, but I'd like to avoid that if possible. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Compiling lilypond
Hi, When I tried to compile lilypond (all dependencies should be solved) it came up with the following error message: chmod 755 out/lilypond-invoke-editor /usr/bin/perl /Users/Thommy/Documents/Downloads/lilypond-2.10.25/ buildscripts/out/help2man out/lilypond-invoke-editor out/lilypond- invoke-editor.1 help2man: can't get `--help' info from out/lilypond-invoke-editor make[1]: *** [out/lilypond-invoke-editor.1] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 I have a MacBook, and the required programs (guile, bison, etc) were installed using MacPorts, except of mftrace, which I downloaded and compiled from the lilypond website. greetings, Thomas Gollenia ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Downloading opening
Hi' I've tried twice to download Lilypond: first to my desk top, then to be opened by gedit. In both cases I got a message that my Ubuntu could not open the file. I'm a real beginner at Linux. Can you help me? Don ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Downloading opening
I guess, what you downloaded was the installer from http://lilypond.org/web/install/. This isn't anything you can open with an editor, instead it's a program that you have to run, which in turn installs the LilyPond program. The instructions at the Download page actually tell you what to do, but in case you need more details: 1. Download the installer to the directory /tmp/ using your web browser. 2. Start a command window. 3. Run the command sh lilypond-2.10.25-1.linux-x86.sh I strongly recommend you to do steps 2 and 3 being logged in as root on your system, since then the program will be installed in a directory /usr/local/bin/, which very likely is already in your PATH, meaning that you don't need any more steps. If instead you run 2. and 3. as an ordinary user, then the program will be installed in ~/bin, i.e. within your home directory. I don't know any details about Ubuntu, but on most Linux systems, programs installed in ~/bin/ are not found by default, so you would have to add that directory to your PATH.
