Re: Can I have my own custom LilyPond?
Hello, I also use my own font. I am no programmer, so I use skips with the chords attached as TextScript. Maybe it would really be nice to have different Chord symbol solutions available since there's not standardised way to do it. For example a major 7 chord can be written the following ways: CM CM7 CMaj7 Cmaj7 Cj7 CΔ and there are probably more. I am no great fontdesigner so my font consists for most parts of glyphs from other fonts which come with LilyPond. So far I only use it for private purposes so I don't know if it's a problem to publish a chart here on the list. But I'd like to help if I can. regards, Tao Original-Nachricht Datum: Tue, 24 Jul 2007 18:32:13 +0200 Von: Dominic Neumann [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: PabloZum [EMAIL PROTECTED], lilypond-user@gnu.org Betreff: Re: Can I have my own custom LilyPond?

Re: How to screen-optimize stems
2007/7/20, Rune Zedeler [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Hehe, I found out there is a really simple solution of how to make stems
look nice in acroread.
In all its simplicity, add
\paper {
blot-diameter = 2 \pt
}
:-)
Now all stems appear to have same thickness in acroread.
Unfortunately it does not work with bar-lines, though.
Oh, but you could simply add
\override Score.BarLine #'thickness = #100
problem solved :-)

Re: file refuses to line or page break
2007/7/19, Nicolas Sceaux [EMAIL PROTECTED]: pageBreak should include a bar check by default. Anyone for a patch? You may want to force a line or page break in the middle of a bar, using the \bar trick. So we should not add a barCheck to pageBreak. I know, but people that need such uncommon constructs can deal with the extra warning.

Why not write them as a lyrics line (with explicit durations on each syllable)?

Re: Overly thick results from markup with draw-line

Hi,
Is there a reason the nibbed output of draw-line is almost 20 times
thicker than usual (rather than just 2 times thicker like the rest of
the TextSpanner)?
This is classical typography, evidently!

Re: Indenting Coda System
Try to write it as a separate \score { } block.
In printed music, I often see the coda system at the end of a piece
on its own line and indented.
In Lilypond, I can place the coda symbol and break the line,
but how do I indent the system? Can't figure it out.
Thanks!

Horizontal brackets
Hello Everyone, Since yesterday I also found that there are several kinds of horizontal brackets: volta brackets, mensural ligature brackets, analysis brackets, the \hbracket markup command (well, that puts a second bracket, but in reversed direction), measure group brackets, piano pedal brackets, tuplet brackets... But I couldn't force any of these things to put a simple horizontal (better would be a double one, but I'd be glad if I could get even a single) bracket above some of my notes. I also had a look to the LSR, but there was also nothing related to this. I also tried to put a textspanner with solid line, but I was unable to display the small vertical lines at the beginning and the end of the line (which is the difference between a simple line and a bracket). Can it happen that there is no routine in Lilypond that could display a common horizontal bracket?...

Re: Horizontal brackets
Hello, the problem is that I can't figure out how to set up the #'edge-text property to draw the lines (the markup doesn't accept the draw-line command, and it's not included in the list of valid markup commands for 2.10.10). Now I've spent at about an hour with adopting the code that I got a few days ago for Bartok-pizz to make it able to draw a line (as the Bartok-pizz sign has a line included), with the following code: \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup #:stencil (ly:stencil-add (ly:make-stencil (list 'draw-line x1 x2 x3 x4 x5) '(x6 . x7) '(x8 . x9) ) ) ) (markup #:stencil (ly:stencil-add (ly:make-stencil (list 'draw-line x10 x11 x12 x13 x14) '(x15 . x16) '(x17 . x18) ) ) ) ) where the values x1-x18 are number parameters. The problem is, that I'm googleing and searching every documentation I've found, but I can't guess the meaning of these 18 parameters (in fact, just 9, as the other 9 are supposed to mean the same thing). Could anybody explain for me what these numbers mean, and how to force them to draw a simple vertical line which fits to the textspanner's line? Thank you, Adam P.S. Sorry for the many questions I'm posting, but I started using Lilypond a week ago or so, and I couldn't find up to now an acceptable reference manual for it (so, a collection of documents that contain every possible command with their every possible parameters and values, like for example the javadocs for Java).

Re: vertical brackets
From that idea, I get this ugly solution
After applying the idea to some chords I'm sorry to say that it is
usable only for the simplest cases. As soon as there are more
accidentals it fails miserably because accidentals are either shifted
too much to the left or even disappearing (this seems to be a bug,
BTW -- look at the second and fifth chord in the image).

Re: Horizontal brackets
Hello,
actually, that was the first thing I tried, but it seems to me that the
draw-line command doesn't exist in 2.10.25 (sorry for the prior
misspelling, I'm using 2.10.25, not 2.10.10 -- although this doesn't
really make a difference, I suppose). But, after tweaking a few hours
with the code I got for the Bartok-pizz, I succeeded! :-)
That was the code I created:
%%
simpleBracket = {
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons
(markup #:stencil
(ly:stencil-add
(ly:make-stencil
(list 'draw-line 0 0 0 0 1)
'(0 . 0) '(1 . 1)
)
)
)
(markup #:stencil
(ly:stencil-add
(ly:make-stencil
(list 'draw-line 0 0 0 0 1)
'(0 . 0) '(1 . 1)
)
)
)
)
\textSpannerUp
\once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = ##f
}
[...]
\new Voice {
\hideNotes
\simpleBracket
\stemDown g2.\startTextSpan \glissando e''4.\stopTextSpan
\unHideNotes
} {
\simpleBracket
g dis'2.\startTextSpan \glissando e'' his'4.\stopTextSpan
}
%%
(The two voices are needed because I had to put this over a chord
glissando, and also because I needed two brackets.)
Well, doesn't look very nice (as the distance between the two brackets
is enormous, and also because one bracket is supposed to be nested into
the other), but works!! :-) :-) :-)
Thank you very much!

Hello,
the problem is that I can't figure out how to set up the #'edge-text
property to draw the lines (the markup doesn't accept the draw-line
command, and it's not included in the list of valid markup commands for
2.10.10). Now I've spent at about an hour with adopting the code that I
got a few days ago for Bartok-pizz to make it able to draw a line (as
the Bartok-pizz sign has a line included), with the following code:
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons (markup #:stencil
(ly:stencil-add
(ly:make-stencil
(list 'draw-line x1 x2 x3 x4 x5)
'(x6 . x7) '(x8 . x9)

(ly:make-stencil
(list 'draw-line x10 x11 x12 x13 x14)
'(x15 . x16) '(x17 . x18)
)
)
) )
where the values x1-x18 are number parameters. The problem is, that I'm
googleing and searching every documentation I've found, but I can't
guess the meaning of these 18 parameters (in fact, just 9, as the other
9 are supposed to mean the same thing).
Could anybody explain for me what these numbers mean, and how to force
them to draw a simple vertical line which fits to the textspanner's
line?
Thank you,
Adam
P.S. Sorry for the many questions I'm posting, but I started using
Lilypond a week ago or so, and I couldn't find up to now an acceptable
reference manual for it (so, a collection of documents that contain
every possible command with their every possible parameters and values,
like for example the javadocs for Java). Does exist this kind of
documentation somewhere?

Hi Adam,
If I recall correctly, the syntax for getting vertical nibs at the
edge of text spanners the old way was to override the edge-text
attribute of the grob. Something like this ...
\override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'(left . right)
... where you have to replace left and right with the command to
draw-line shown in the previous example.
I'm running the 2.11.x series only; can you find reference to
edge-text in the 2.10 manual?
Trevor.

Microtone accidentals
Dear Users, I'm engraving a score that has several microtonal accidentals of 1/6 pitches. I know that there are no 1/6-pitch accidentals in Lilypond (as far as I know there are only 1/4 tone accidentals), and I have a very short deadline for this work, so I don't think I could put this wish to a feature request list, but must do something by myself (as I need to solve the issue in a very short time). Does anyone know how should I start with this? As an explanation, the 1/6 pitch accidentals are actually simple vertical arrows, which can be standalone (that means 1/6 pitch higher or lower as the base pitch) or combined with sharp symbols (if this is the case, the obtained pitch is 1/6 higher or lower than the respective sharp). Theoretically there could also be arrows combined with flats, but they are not necessary to get the full 'palette' of 1/6 pitches (for example, [uparrow + g flat] would mean the same as [uparrow + f sharp]). Some times the standalone arrows are combined with natural symbols. I'm not sure if these signs are standardized or not, but composers like Grisey or Murail use these symbols frequently in their scores.

Horizontal lines and barlines
Hello, does anyone know how to connect a horizontal line (better would be a zig-zag line with maybe an arrow at the end, like the one that exists for arpeggio) exactly to a (volta) barline? This is a common sign if you have a set of notes and want to let them repeat undetermined times by the player, but until a fixed point in the score.

Re: grace note leading to chord
In a piece I am engraving with lilypond I have an acciaccatura leading to
a
chord. The acciaccatura should actually lead to a specific note in that
chord (the highest one in my case). However, lilypond treats the chord as
one unit and doesn't allow to lead the acciaccatura to one of the chord's
notes. I found a partial solution by using \slurUp so that the slur leads
to
the highest note but I would like the slur to go down and lead to the
highest note.
Is this possible?
Sorry : i tried a lot of things but none succedeed
I give an exemple, it will be easier to help us :
Here, i want : \acciaccatura b'8 c''
and lilypond do : \acciaccatura b'8 e'
%%%
\version 2.10.25
{ \acciaccatura b'8 c'' g' e' 4 }

Re: Horizontal brackets

I found it in the snipplet repository now. The problem was, that I
hadn't search for the keyword 'line'. Here's the code:
\textSpannerUp
\once \override TextSpanner #'edge-text = #'( . )
\once \override TextSpanner #'edge-height = #'(1 . 1)
\once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = ##f

That was the code I created:

\stemDown g2.\startTextSpan \glissando e''4.\stopTextSpan
\unHideNotes
} {
\simpleBracket
g dis'2.\startTextSpan \glissando e'' his'4.\stopTextSpan
}
%%
(The two voices are needed because I had to put this over a chord
glissando, and also because I needed two brackets.)
Well, doesn't look very nice (as the distance between the two brackets
is enormous, and also because one bracket is supposed to be nested
into the other), but works!! :-) :-) :-)

Do you mean something like that?
%%%snippet

\new Voice { e' g' c''4 }
}
%%%
Yes, i tried something like that but as you can see, the \acciaccatura is
very far from the note c''.
It is because the hide note c'' is next to the c'' of the chord.
So i tried to use :
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
but it didn't success because the c'' of the chord is not seen as a
individual entity.
It exists perhaps a trick to move the acciaccatura to the right (perhaps not
?), but i think there is a request to do for this problem with grace and
chords.
The logic would be :
\acciaccatura b'8 { e' g' c''4 } = \acciaccatura b'8 e'
\acciaccatura b'8 { g' e ' c''4 } = \acciaccatura b'8 g'
\acciaccatura b'8 { c'' e' g' 4 } = \acciaccatura b'8 c'' ...

I wouldn't say *very* far; of course it helps if you add
\layout { ragged-right = ##t }
It is because the hide note c'' is next to the c'' of the chord.
So i tried to use :
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
That's too complex for me :)
I simply used the following definition, and it works:
\new Staff {
\new Voice {\slurDown
