Ties go a bit haywire, bug?
Hi,
in 2.11.26 when there are many ties, some have positioning errors. 2.10 has no
problems, but for many other improvements I'm already dependent on 2.11.x :)
This is an excerpt, attached a PNG which shows that some ties are drawn too
long. Must I report this as a bug?
\version "2.11.26"
rh = {
% \repeat unfold 10 { a'1~ | }
\repeat unfold 4 { 1~ }
\repeat unfold 2 { 1~ }
\repeat unfold 2 { 1~ }
\repeat unfold 2 { 1~ }
8\fermata r4 r4. r4 \bar "|."
}
\score {
\new Staff = "rh" \rh
}
With best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen
PS: I'm really impressed with all the improvements in the latest releases,
thanks!

2007/6/12, Marcus Brinkmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hi, I am happy to give you a sneak preview to my ambitious music notation project based on Lilypond 2.10, a digital edition of the 1867 song book: very cool Lilypond does an excellent job on these songs, and only few manual tweaks were necessary. Some tweaks may be the result of my lack of understanding of Lilypond internals. The whole book contains 136 songs, each about 1 DIN A5 page on average. The build tree produced by lilypond-book is over 700 MB (!) strong, I suspect because the required fonts are copied into each EPS file (can this be improved?). checkout -dhelp, You probably want to use -dgs-load-fonts and preferably pdflatex. If you're technically inclined, you can run make web >& logfile and see how we build the documentation.

Hi Marcus,
There must be a better way to do this, though.
Not sure about "better", but here are a couple options:
\version "2.11.23"
theMusic =
{
c''^\markup { \italic "Variation second." }
c''^\markup { \translate #(cons 0 1) { \hspace #0 \italic "Variation
second." } }
c''^\markup { \raise #1 { \hspace #0 \italic "Variation second." } }
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}
Hope this helps!

Secondly, please don't top-post.

OK, firstly I'll describe the two files in a bit more detail. The first
is an XML file (your email client may just display it in the message,
not as an attachment). Save it somewhere (on your desktop will be fine)
as '/home//textedit-url-handler.schemas' where is
your linux username.
The second file is a Bash shell script which accepts the point-and-click
url from Evince and turns it into a form that is usable by a text editor
- in my case gvim. Save this file as
'/home//bin/textedit_url.sh'. You may need to create the 'bin'
directory.
Then open a terminal (command-line) and enter the command:
gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=~/textedit-url-handler.schemas
Then open the Bash script for editing in emacs. The # character
designates comments in bash - lines starting with # are ignored. Remove
the # from the start of the lines which include the word 'logfile', i.e.
lines 7, 8, 26, 52. Then go to line 47 - comment out (i.e. insert a # at
the beginning of) the next three lines:
#KEYS=":${LINENUM}${STARTPOS}|"
#gvim --remote $FILENAME
#gvim --remote-send $KEYS
and add this line:
emacsclient --no-wait +${LINENUM}:${STARTPOS} $FILENAME
Save the file. In your terminal window, enter the following:
touch ~/textedit_url.log
tail -f ~/textedit_url.log
Then open a lilypond pdf in evince, and try clicking on one of the
notes. There should be some output in the terminal window which is
logging the script, and hopefully emacs should open. Let us know how you go.

Will Inscape prefer fonts from this directory? Sorry, I don't use linux (yet ;-). I guess ~/fonts is "where linux stores the font files", but I don't know exactly what it is. In windows this is a folder named "c:\windows\fonts". I have all the lilypond otf font files here and inkscape just finds them there. I don't know how inkscape finds the fonts under linux, or how to configure it. Perhaps some linux user can tell you more about that.

I am not sure I am following you exactly, but what I did in LaTeX with
Lilypond-Book is:
\usepackage{newcent}
At 10pt, this seems to match the stanza font that Lilypond uses.

Thanks. My work around apparently stopped working. The problem is
that this does not work:
d'16^\markup { \raise #1 \italic { Variation second. } }
and this doesn't work either (that's in the 1.0 ALPHA):
d'16^\markup { "" \raise #1 \italic { Variation second. } }
I changed it now to the following, which works:
d'16^\markup { " " \raise #1 \italic { Variation second. } }
There must be a better way to do this, though.

This happens when a bar is split across a line break. I do this
fairly often, sometimes because that's also what the original book
has, see for example: http://docsouth.unc.edu/church/allen/ss3.jpg,
and sometimes because it makes for much better line breaks overall, at
least to my taste.
Is splitting bars across line breaks at the beginning of verses
considered bad style? In singing practice it may be a problem
realizing that there is a split, although it seems to me that if a
song starts with a partial, it's clear that verses should start with a
partial as well.
I fixed the bar numbering in 040 though, where Lilypond's bar counter
seems to get quite confused. There may be more problems like that,
I'll make myself a note to review the bar numbering of the songs.
Thanks for pointing it out!

Evince ignores the embedded textedit:// urls by default, but you can tell it via gconf to pass them to whatever you like. Apply the attached gconf schema file with: gconftool-2 --install-schema-file=textedit.schemas And save the attached script in ~/bin/ (don't forget to make it executable.
