voltaOnThisStaff property in the master file's \layout block
I found the following fix in the LSR, which puts volta brackets above the
chord names:
\version 2.10.0
\score {
\new ChordNames \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##t
} \chordmode {
c1 c
}
\new Staff \with {
voltaOnThisStaff = ##f
}
{
\repeat volta 2 { c'1 } \alternative { c' }
}
}
The thing is, I have a lot of these music files I would like to do this to.
The idea is that there is one master file, which contains paper, layout
settings, scheme functions, static music identifiers, and so on, and then
there are several \include statements in there that contain the actual
pieces. Is there a way to set the voltaOnThisStaff property in the layout
block in the master file?
Of course, it would be OK if this were not settable in the master file; I
could just edit the individual music files to contain the definition. But
something tells me that there must be a way.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Many thanks Tao, it works ;) but then I will have to encode all c, f, and g notes as cis, fis, and gis respectively, because lilypond puts a natural sign in front of the first c, f, g note. am I correct ?

Re: all sharps ?
hi Vasil,
what you want to use is called 'key signature' in english.
in this case you have the key of a major or f-sharp minor, so your code needs
the following at the beginning of your piece:
\key a \major
or
\key fis \minor
the transpose command will only transpose the key signature if it is set at the
beginning.
if you want to use the transpose command you need to set the following:
\key c \major
\transpose c a { music }
but then you have to write your music in c to get the desired output.
for your case I guess that you won't need the transpose function.
regards,
Tao

Re: Microtone accidentals
Hello,
after lot of people suggested to me to upgrade to version 2.11, I did
it. I have to admit that the result is much better than in 2.10,
specially with a lot of smart automation on text positioning, which up
to now was done by myself. But I have some serious problems which I
don't know how to solve. These are almost all related to textspanners.
1) If I simply use the method suggested by upgrade-ly for text spanners,
that is:
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text = left-text
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right #'text = right-text
I don't get the dashed lines, only the texts (in my particular case,
left-text was set to #(markup #:italic restez IV), and right-text
to , but also doesn't work with #(markup #:italic sul sol) and , etc.)
2) I'm also getting the bug posted some time ago by Trevor Bača ('Overly
thick results from markup with draw-line'). Is there some workaround
related to this?
3) If there's a linebreak while a text spanner is active, the
textspanner's end-text gets displayed on the end of the line, and the
textspanner's begin-text gets displayed at the beginning of the new
line. How can I avoid this behaviour and get the one that worked in
2.10? (No duplications of the begin and end texts.) The reason in my
particular case is that the mentioned text-spanner tells the player that
he has to go from ordinary bow to sul ponticello while playing, and he
only has to reach the sul ponticello at the end of the text span. If I
got the sp sign printed on the end of the line, and I get the ord sign
printed at the beginning of the new line again, that would mean that the
player should do this two times (the ord-sp transition).
4) text spanners are printed for some reason some times very very far
from the musical context, with no reason. Also, markup texts are placed
always above text spanners, which not always is convenient, but I don't
know how to change this behaviour. Also, if I have several text spanners
the one after the other, every new text spanner gets placed above the
prior one, causing the space between the staves to be enormous. The
normal behaviour for this should be that in this cases they come one
time above, the next time below the prior text spanner, respectively, to
keep space. Can I force the spanners to do this somehow?
5) There's a line in my score where I get no more linebreak. In 2.10,
Lilypond broke me the line at that particular place, thus I got a very
nice and balanced score (this was not a manual linebreak, however, it
was a very good decision by the engine to put it there). Now, I don't
get the linebreak, and thanks to this, I have two pages that contain
single systems (I'm engraving a string quartet!), and in one of them the
system is longer than the page... And even if I put a manual linebreak,
it does nothing. In the particular case, there are several glissandi
crossing that barline. Can this cause this error? Do you have any idea
to avoid it?
6) At compilation time, I'm getting lots of 'warning: Found infinity or
nan in output. Substituting 0.0' warnings, which I hadn't get before. Do
you have any idea for this?
Thank you,
Adam

Since you're running 2.10, you may have to use a few modifications
(such as accidentals.2 instead of accidentals.sharp, etc.). --
however, you'd better upgrade to 2.11.27; it's quite reliable and

instrumentName and polyphony
Hi,
I'm having problems with getting instrument (or technically voice-part)

from

to appear (the lower of each pair of voices). (example code below)
What am I doing wrong, and how do I fix it?
Whilst I'm doing this, I'd also like to chance the default font settings for
instrumentName, to make the font smaller and sans-serif. Can I do this
globally, or do I have to do it for each \score in the .ly file?

Re: Indenting Coda System
Following on from what Bertalan said, if you put the coda in a separate score
block I think you can then use
\markup {
\translate #(cons X Y) { \score{yourscoreblock} }
}
}
to shift it around, where X is the horizontal movement (+ve for right, -ve
for left) and Y is the vertical movement (+ve for up, -ve for down).
Thanks to Valentin for teaching me that one!

Beams across barlines and line breaking
Hello, after upgrading to 2.11, the beams going accross barlines block the engine from making line breaks. The problem is that I have a polyphonic place in the score I'm engraving where there are 9 bars one after the other that have barline-crossing beams in some of the voices, and 9 bars are much longer than a single line in an arbitrary paper. If I try to introduce manual line breaks with the \break command, I only get the following warning: warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be using bar checks? And the line still doesn't get broken. How can I force the lines to break? Is this maybe a bug?

Hi list, Sorry if the following has been asked oodles o' times before. :) 1) I can't get that open office lilypond thing to work. The setup of the macros etc. went well (had to install some Java stuff tho), and ctrl-m brings that lilypond popup. But when I type some lilypond script -such as the example from the ooolilypond sourceforge webpage- I get this error when hitting the lilypond button: 'C:\Program' is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I use Open Office 2.2.0 and Lilypond 2.10, and the OS is WinXPsp2 on a recent and *heavy* machine. The hotkeys' right column for ctrl-m says: vnd.sun.star.scipt:OOoLilyPond.Main.main?language=Basiclocation=application From the config menu: template path: C:\Program Files\OOoLilyPond\templates\2.10\ lilypond executable: C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe 2) In the situation of a complete orchestral score, is it possible to have one measure preceding the actual start of the score, so: an extra measure in which one could show timpani tuning. So, it wouldn't really be measure 0, but more like measure -1, where the real score starts at measure 0 (or 1 if Lilypond is 1-based) If someone has the Dover edition of 'The Planets (Holst)', you can see an example of it in 'Mars', and 'Uranus' (^_^), in the other parts of this work this tuning measure is distracted from the staffs and loosely floating around, dunno if that's with a good reason or just not consistant. Where the curly bracket is placed also differs, sometimes preceding this extra measure, sometimes between this extra measure and the start of the score. grtz, Maarten van Strien ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This is normally good for bar lines, as normally I need single barlines that display through the four staves. But there's a point where the time signatures differ for every stave, but just for a few bars. How can I tell the engine to create separate barlines only for that few staves? The 2.11 manual seems to be offline at the moment. But check 8.4.1 Polymetric notation in the 2.10 manual. Should work fine; if not, post a minimal example that gets as close as you can. P.S. If someone knew a solution on how to connect a horizontal line to a barline, or better, a solution to how to tell the engine to put the first notes of the bars exactly on the barline (as this would solve the line problem with some invisible notes on the barline that have glissando lines attached), please tell me! (The 'put the first notes of the bar exactly on the barline' could also be useful to engrave scores that have strict space notation, like Tristan Murail's ones.) This is possible today using proportional notation. The 2.10 manual mentions proportional notation only a little; the 2.11 manual (which, again, is currently offline) treats proportional notation in much greater detail. Read about that in 2.11 when it's available, and expect to spend a day or two running examples to learn how the different proportional notation parameters interact. -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
LilyPond extension/plugin for MediaWiki software
Hello, I've heard tell that there is a LilyPond extension or plugin for MediaWiki (that's the software they use with Wikipedia). I have a wiki (HymnWiki.org) that uses LilyPond files quite a bit . . . so, I'm interested in finding out what the plugin is for, what it is called, and where I can get it. Do any of you know? Would it be better to ask on a MediaWiki forum? I figured the person who made it probably frequents these forums from time to time, anyway. I've heard that it requires LilyPond to be installed on the server. Is this true? I'm guessing it allows scores to show up, or plays the music, or something, but I really have no idea other than that.

Bug concerning lilypond-book
Greetings:
Sorry for the cross-posting but I think I've found a bug.
When I put a section like this in a lilypond file and compile it the
spacing is fine.
\paper{
line-width = 170.000 \mm
textheight = 250.000 \mm
between-system-space = 1.5\cm
between-system-padding = #1
ragged-bottom=##f
ragged-last-bottom=##f
}
However, when I include the lilypond file in a latex file, and then
lilypond-book the latex file, the ending pdf document does not show the
spacing as in the individually compiled lilypond score, am I missing
something or is this a bug?
Daniel Tonda C.

Re: Tweaking arpeggios
Daniel, Off the top of my head, I can't remember the syntax, but look for something like \DownArpeggio or \ArpeggioDown. The line would still be squiggly, though, and I think that's fine as far as I know, because a straight line usually means plaqué (i.e. non arpeggiated), so the arrow would be meaningless in this context.

ConTeXt table of contents tweak
Hi everyone,
This may be a bit off-topic but I figure others here may be using
ConTeXt to make books out of Lilypond files. I signed up for the
ConTeXt mailing list a couple days ago but still need to get
approved, impatient as always me.
I believe I asked the same question about LaTeX a couple of months
ago but I can't seem to replicate it in ConTeXt .
I want to add something like a section of chapter to the Table of
Contents in my file without having it print in the pdf on that page.
If that sounds cryptic, here's what I do in LaTeX:
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Blah blah lah lah}
and voila it shows up in the TOC.
Thanks all
Adam

Standalone bar lines in StaffGroup
Hello, I'm engraving a string quartet, and I have the four staffs inside a StaffGroup. This is normally good for bar lines, as normally I need single barlines that display through the four staves. But there's a point where the time signatures differ for every stave, but just for a few bars. How can I tell the engine to create separate barlines only for that few staves? Thank you, Adam P.S. If someone knew a solution on how to connect a horizontal line to a barline, or better, a solution to how to tell the engine to put the first notes of the bars exactly on the barline (as this would solve the line problem with some invisible notes on the barline that have glissando lines attached), please tell me! (The 'put the first notes of the bar exactly on the barline' could also be useful to engrave scores that have strict space notation, like Tristan Murail's ones.)

Re: Beams across barlines and line breaking
On 7/26/07, Siska Ádám [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, after upgrading to 2.11, the beams going accross barlines block the engine from making line breaks. The problem is that I have a polyphonic place in the score I'm engraving where there are 9 bars one after the other that have barline-crossing beams in some of the voices, and 9 bars are much longer than a single line in an arbitrary paper. If I try to introduce manual line breaks with the \break command, I only get the following warning: warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you be using bar checks? And the line still doesn't get broken. How can I force the lines to break? Is this maybe a bug? Hi Adam, Same answer as for glissandi ... \override Beam #'breakable = ##t ... somewhere in the score will fix this. In general, any grob subcribing to the breakable (?) interface in the 2.11 program reference will need #'breakable = ##t to break across lines. (The 2.11 program reference appears to be down at the moment; when it's up you can see examples of this in, for example, the entry for the Beam and Glissando grobs.)

set-global-staff-size causes weird printing
Hello everybody,
I'm typesetting a large, large orchestral score; I've always used a small
global-staff-size and it worked very well.
However, I've just discovered that when I specify a different
global-staff-size, the compilation goes fine, no error messages... but
the .pdf (as well as the .ps) output is just one empty page!
I just can't understand what's going on. When I try to simplify and
reduce my code, I can't reproduce the bug. So here's the whole code
I'm working on; maybe someone can help me to understand it (It's not a
problem though; as I always use a small global-staff-size, the score
always prints fine).
Thank you all,

Hello,
after lot of people suggested to me to upgrade to version 2.11, I did
it. I have to admit that the result is much better than in 2.10,
specially with a lot of smart automation on text positioning, which up
to now was done by myself. But I have some serious problems which I
don't know how to solve. These are almost all related to textspanners.
1) If I simply use the method suggested by upgrade-ly for text spanners,
that is:
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text = left-text
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right #'text = right-text
I don't get the dashed lines, only the texts (in my particular case,
left-text was set to #(markup #:italic restez IV), and right-text
to , but also doesn't work with #(markup #:italic sul sol) and , etc.)
Please post the example where the dashes fail to print; dashes work
fine here with 2.11.x. Also, make sure you haven't set TextSpanner
#'dash-fraction = #0, which would remove the dashes as you describe.
2) I'm also getting the bug posted some time ago by Trevor Bača ('Overly
thick results from markup with draw-line'). Is there some workaround
related to this?
I think the developers posted back that that is, in fact, a bug but
has already been fixed in the repository. This means that 2.11.28 will
contain the fix. And, in fact, looking at the downloads page just now,
I see that 2.11.28 is available.
Argh, but trying the example just now shows that the overly thick nib
bug is still present in .28. Can you check and see if .28 still shows
the bug on your end? Maybe if we ask nicely, the fix will show up in
.29 ...
3) If there's a linebreak while a text spanner is active, the
textspanner's end-text gets displayed on the end of the line, and the
textspanner's begin-text gets displayed at the beginning of the new
line. How can I avoid this behaviour and get the one that worked in
2.10? (No duplications of the begin and end texts.) The reason in my
particular case is that the mentioned text-spanner tells the player that
he has to go from ordinary bow to sul ponticello while playing, and he
only has to reach the sul ponticello at the end of the text span. If I
got the sp sign printed on the end of the line, and I get the ord sign
printed at the beginning of the new line again, that would mean that the
player should do this two times (the ord-sp transition).
Ah, for this there's a corresponding group of attributes for what
happens to TextSpanners around line breaks. These attributes can be
found at
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left-broken
and
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right-broken
which you can set like this ...
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left-broken #'text =
... if, for example, you do *not* want text to appear immediately
before or after a line break.
4) text spanners are printed for some reason some times very very far
from the musical context, with no reason. Also, markup texts are placed
always above text spanners, which not always is convenient, but I don't
know how to change this behaviour. Also, if I have several text spanners
the one after the other, every new text spanner gets placed above the
prior one, causing the space between the staves to be enormous. The
normal behaviour for this should be that in this cases they come one
time above, the next time below the prior text spanner, respectively, to
keep space. Can I force the spanners to do this somehow?
The first question about the relative vertical order of markups and
spanners can be solved, I think. Text spanners come from the
TextSpanner grob; markups come, less intuitively, from the TextScript
grob.
I think that both TextSpanner and TextScript will respect the
#'outside-staff-priority attribute which is an arbitrary and
relatively integer vertical ordering index. So you can say
\override TextSpanner #'outside-staff-priority = #500
\override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = #100
... to, for example, specify that the TextSpanner should be closer to
the staff while the markup (TextScript) should be farther away from
the staff; bigger values mean I really wanna be closer to the staff.
So compare these two scores:
\version 2.11.28
\new Staff {
c'4 ^ \markup { foo } \startTextSpan
c'4 \stopTextSpan
}
\new Staff {
\override TextSpanner #'outside-staff-priority = #200
\override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = #100
c'4 ^ \markup { foo } \startTextSpan
c'4 \stopTextSpan
}
The second part of your question about keeping spanners from
incrementally getting higher and higher on the page is harder for me
to answer. Try making these other fixes first and see if the problem
gets better. If now, post back again and we might try turning off
skyline spacing for spanners and perhaps a couple of other grobs.
5) There's a line in my score where I get no more linebreak. In 2.10,
Lilypond broke me the line at that particular place, thus I got a very
nice

In general, Lily likes to fill lines completely from left to right, like fully justifying paragraphs of text, and I think that's why your short, one-line example is stretched. If you add in several more lines of music, Lily will optimize line spacing better. If, however, your scores all are short like this, then consider setting ragged-last = ##f in the layout block, which will tell Lily *not* to justify the last (or in your case, the only) line. And while you're playing with spacing, it's sometimes helpful to set ragged-right = ##t also in the layout block, which will tell Lily *not* to justify all lines in the score. In a one-line score, ragged-right = ##t should carry the same effect as ragged-last = ##f.

Re: instrumentName and polyphony
Hi Charlotte,
Where in the syntax, or even in the .ly file do I put the \set
instrumentName?
The good news is, there's no one answer for that.
The bad news is, there's no one answer for that.
=)
I need to label each vocal line because some scores are SATB whilst
others
are SSTT or other combinations. However, I can only get one
instrumentName
to appear (the lower of each pair of voices). (example code below)
The InstrumentName property is set at the Staff level, whereas you
are including (e.g.) the S and A music as two *Voice* contexts within
a single Staff context. Therefore, you need to set the (one) value to
display *both* pieces of text you want to show on the one staff, i.e.
\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup { \column { S A } }
or
\new Staff = women
\with { instrumentName = \markup { \column { S A } } }
\new Voice = sopranos { \voiceOne \global \sopMusic
}
\new Voice = altos { \voiceTwo \global \altoMusic }
Of course, adjust the sample markup (baseline-skip, alignment, etc.)
as desired.
I'd also like to chance the default font settings for instrumentName,
to make the font smaller and sans-serif. Can I do this
globally, or do I have to do it for each \score in the .ly file?
Use
\layout
{
\context
{
\Score
\override InstrumentName #'font-size = #-2
\override InstrumentName #'font-family = #'sans-serif
}
}
Off the top of my head, I can't remember the exact font style code:
look it up in the docs.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: Microtone accidentals
Hello,
wow, this is very nice! I also tried it with flat sign (just to try it
out), and also works fine. Thank you!
BTW, could you explain a bit (maybe in a private mail) how actually it
works? I would like to adopt the sign to be able to create the
down-arrowed accidentals too, and to be able to attach them to natural
signs also, but unfortunately I know nothing about postscripting...
Many thanks again!

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.
What about the following trick? (It looks ugly on screen, but fine
when printed)
It has to be adapted, of course.

Re: How to screen-optimize stems
Quoting Han-Wen Nienhuys [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
\paper {
blot-diameter = 2 \pt
}
Unfortunately it does not work with bar-lines, though.
Oh, but you could simply add
\override Score.BarLine #'thickness = #100
problem solved :-)
I am not really sure whether this was a joke, sorry.
(Was it a joke?)
Well, the thickness isn't used for anything in barlines, so overriding thickness
will not change anything.
We have
Bar_line::compound_barline (Grob *me, string str, Real h,
bool rounded)
and
Bar_line::print (SCM smob)
..
return compound_barline (me, str, sz, false).smobbed_copy ();
Notice the hard-coded false.
So bar-lines are hardcoded to be made of non-rounded rectangles (that is, to be
outlined with a zero-width line).
I see to ways to solve the problem:
Either (a): Use rounded rectangles for bar-lines. That way my solution would
also work for bar-lines (perhaps one would have to increase the blot-diameter a
bit more.
Or (b): Add a lookup representing a line drawn with non-rounded ends and use
this for the bar-lines.
I will happily do this (b). Should I send a patch?
Notice that this will have no effect on the music on print. The only difference
will be how the music is rendered on screen. Representing lines as lines drawn
with a thickness rather as a filled rectangle makes it easier for the reader to
know what it is showing and therefore reproducing output nicely on screen.

Re: Microtone accidentals
2007/7/26, Siska Ádám [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
BTW, could you explain a bit (maybe in a private mail) how actually it
works? I would like to adopt the sign to be able to create the
down-arrowed accidentals too, and to be able to attach them to natural
signs also, but unfortunately I know nothing about postscripting...
Actually, neither do I :)
The basics are quite easy to learn though (I've been playing with it
for only a couple weeks).
Think of a pen on the paper. I've just printed the accidental glyph,
so the postscript object will start on the right of the sign.
Therefore I have to move it to the left:
-1.4 0.5 moveto %% where -1.4 is the X coordinate of my new origin point
Then I print the first (vertical line), starting from this point and going up:
-1.4 2 lineto %% as you can see, only the Y coordinate has changed
Besides, I use
0.17 setlinewidth
to make a thicker line so it's seamlessly integrated with the glyph.
This was my first line. I could go on with the other lines, but I want
thiner lines now.
So have to create two distincts objects.
I add
stroke %% to tell the engine to actually draw my first object (the
line); and I'll insert
gsave %% at the beginning of my code , and
grestore %% after my code, to start a whole new object (the arrowhead)
The new object is printed in a similar way:
gsave %% I save the initial state
0.1 setlinewidth %% previously it was 0.17, so this is thiner
-1.7 1.4 moveto %% I move my pen without drawing anything
-1.4 2.18 lineto %% first line, towards the top of the thick line
(notice the -1.4 Y axis)
-1.1 1.4 lineto %% starting from the end of the previous line, I
directly draw the second (to the right)
stroke %% don't ask me why this is needed
Here ends the PostScipt part.
I included it in a very basic Scheme function I found in the manual:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond/Simple-substitution-functions
#(define-music-function (parser location note) (ly:music?)
I create a variable, which will be named note (don't ask me how it works)
the (ly:music?) is a musical expression (so if you have several notes
to affect, you can encloe them in brackets and each accidental in the
brackets will be modified)
Here's the cool part: you can use Scheme to write genuine lilypond code
#{ \once \override Voice.Accidental #'stencil =
#ly:text-interface::print
%%The Accidental object is replaced by a Text object (so I can use \markup)
\once \override Voice.Accidental #'text =
%% Here comes the \markup, which include two objects: the glyph...
\markup {\musicglyph #accidentals.sharp
%% ...and the postscript code
\postscript #gsave 0.17 setlinewidth -1.4 0.5 moveto -1.4 2 lineto
stroke grestore
gsave 0.1 setlinewidth -1.7 1.4 moveto -1.4 2.18 lineto -1.1 1.4
lineto
stroke grestore}
%%And of course, I don't forget to print the note after the accidental
$note #})
I'm really new to this (both Scheme and PostScript), so you see it
isn't very hard to do basic things. It is probably a very dirty code,
but it works.

cruft after introduction to vocal piece
I'm using LilyPond 2.10.14-1 on Mac OS X.
I'm typesetting a piece for piano and singer. The first few bars are
an introduction, with no words for the singer.
In order to save paper, I want a staff without a vocal line for the first
few bars, then a regular PianoStaff with melody and lyrics for the rest
of the piece. I got it working using the score block shown below,
by modifying an example out of the documentation.
There's just one problem. The introduction takes up one line,
as planned, but after the double bar line at the end, the staff
lines continue past the double bar line, and there's an extra time
signature at the far right of the staff.
