figured bass above/below notes?

2007-06-15 Thread madhg

There are two ways of adding figured bass: 
 
(a) 
  \new Staff  \mybassnotes   \new Figured Bass \myfigures 
   which gives figures below the staff, arranged ina horizontal line

(b) 
  \new Staff = bassStaff \mybassnotes \context Staff = bassStaff \myfigures
  which puts the figures in vertical positions depending on the position of 
the corresponding note.

(b) puts figures above the notes by default. Can it be made to put them
below the notes? 
I looked at the documentation, didn't find it.

Re: Arrow arpeggio

2007-06-15 Thread Henrik Frisk

 Is there any easy solution to make an arrow (up or down) out of an arpeggio?
 Somenthing like \arpeggioUp or \arpeggioDown but instead of getting a zigzag
 line, get a straight arrowed line.
 
I'd be interested in this too. From property-init.ly you can see that
the stencil for the arpeggion object can be changed. Here's how it's set
for the bracket:

 \override Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-bracket

Anybody knows if, and in that case how, to pass this object another
stencil that draws a line? In safe-lily.scm only two values are listed
for the ly:arpeggio: 'print' and 'brew-chord-bracket'

Use \halign:

lilypond doesn't create file.pdf

2007-06-15 Thread ste

I've just installed Lilypond in Windows and Ubuntu

In Ubuntu I've created a file.ly
I've started Lilypond, who said me the errors and I corrected them
But now it says only:

   lilypond --pdf /media/sda1/musica/sheet_music/castello/pippo.ly
   GNU LilyPond 2.10.20
   Processing `/media/sda1/musica/sheet_music/castello/pippo.ly'
   Analisi...

and then it stops itself.


In Windows the same file doesn't want to open!
What's wrong?


Thanks Stefano

weird \parenthesize behaviour

2007-06-15 Thread madhg

This attempt at a parenthesized appoggiatura produces tiny tiny parentheses,
enclosing the notehead only; and the accidental is outside, instead of
inside, the parentheses.

\version 2.11.25
\new Score
{
   \new Staff  \relative c' {
 \appoggiatura \parenthesize cis8 d  
   }
}

Lilypond bug or user error?

problem to open Lilypond

2007-06-15 Thread Vanessa Laboisne
Hi there, 

I have a problem to run Lilypond:

After Lylipond has been correctly installed, i get to the welcoming Lylipad
screen.
At point n°4 it says: To print or to view the result, click on the newly
produced file called   WELCOME_TO_LILYPOND.pdf 

But:
1. The pdf. file on my desktop isn't called that way, but only lylipond file;
2. Once i've clicked on it, it opens on a nice C scale, and then? HOW DO I GET
TO  THE PROGRAM ITSELF  ??? 
3. Is it because i don't have any Visio or Corel Draw installed on my machine?
I downloaded then a program called DIA ( supposed to be as good as
MicrosoftVisio, and it doesn't change a thing).

Thank you to anybody who could help

Vanessa.

2007-06-15 Thread Damian leGassick

Hi vanessa, this is a common mistake

Lilypond is not really a 'program'

it is more like a programming language. you write instructions in   
lilypond code in a text editor.


there is a tutorial here

rests problem

2007-06-15 Thread Jay Hamilton
I checked the manual and thought that I was doing it correctly.
in example 1-
the 8th rests are colliding with the notes for the lower part.  The 
manual states that I can use a note (f\rest)
However example 2 below is more than totally bizzare as it raises all 
sorts of notes but not the rests
So what should I be using?

 Thank you for you replying.

Please keep discussions on the mailing list so that others can join in.


 So how can I flat b?

The German name for what I (as an Australian) would call B flat is B. If 
you are using deutsch.ly and you want to see a note on the middle line of a 
treble clef staff with a flat sign in front of it, you should type 'b'. If 
this isn't the behaviour you are used to, why are you using deutsch.ly?

For more information about note names in other languages, see section 6.1.5 of 
the manual.

Mac OS X libguile.17.dylib Trace/BPT Trap error when adding a second voice to piano score

2007-06-15 Thread David Fedoruk

Hello:

I am attempting to transcribe a Scarlatti Sonata which I will cross
check with the facsimile edition -- when I get to see it. However, in
bringing in a second voice to the right hand I get this error:

dyld: Symbol not found:
 Referenced from:
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../lib//libguile.17.dylib

Expected in: 
/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/../lib//libguile.17.dylib

Trace/BPT trap

The suspect code at bar 23  is this:

\version 2.10.25
upper = \relative c'' {
   \clef treble
   \key e \major
   \time 3/4

\key e \minor r8  b''8 \grace a16 g8  fs e d | % Bar 21

{a'4-| a8 a gs fs b d | 
\grace b16 c2. | b2. | % Bar 23 


 fs b \grace a8 gs8 fs e ds % Bar 24

}


  lower = \relative c {
   \clef bass
   \key e \major
   \time 3/4

\key e \minor e4 r4 r  |% Bar 21

r8 a''8 fs8 ds  cs b |  % Bar 22

b,2.|   % Bar 23

e4  r4  r   |   % Bar 24


I've successfully coded the first 20 bars, the only thing I've done
different is bring the attempt to bring the second voice in the right
hand. Since the error occurs as soon as I hit  enter, I don't think
lilypond has even parsed the file completely.

I'm using Mac OS 10.4.9

Thanks for any help

Cheers
David

The { is in the documentation in the section on Single Staff
Polyphony. At first I had the closing bracket in with it to, but that
had the same result.

That new voice become the main voice in the next bar.  In subsequent
bars, this happens frequently -- a new voice is there momentarily and
either disappears or takes over from the original one. Essentially
they merge.
