Re: Adding / deleting staves on the fly
Hi Reinhold:
my naive attempts led me to a solution, which apparently works just
fine:
Nice.
Unfortunately, the enclosed snippet appears to show that you can't
set this property "inline"... =\
Any thoughts on how to get around that?
Thanks,
Kieren.
\version "2.11.27"
\layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } }
theMusic = \relative
{
c d e f c d e f \break
R1*2 \break
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##t
R1*2 \break
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-empty = ##f
R1*2
}
\score
{
\theMusic
}

Re: Adding / deleting staves on the fly
Hello all, If you simply want staves with rests only to disappear, simply add the RemoveEmptyStaffContext to your layout. [] I've asked this before, but never really got a complete answer... Is there any way to have \RemoveEmptyStaffContext in a layout, but specifically choose one Staff (or, better yet, section of measures of a Staff) that would still display regardless of content? I thought it might be possible by adding MultiMeasureRest to the list of #'interesting-items, but nothing I tried seemed to work! =\ Thanks, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hey all! Just sending out kudos to the whole Lilypond team... I'm currently attempting (not entirely without success, I believe!) to compose and music direct a full two-act musical in about seven weeks; the preview is one week from tomorrow. [eek!] I've been cranking out a piece fully scored/voiced for chorus and soloists -- often with piano accompaniment, especially where I need to give myself reminders -- every day or so, and revisions happen on a constant basis as we're workshopping the completed songs. All things considered, it's been a total joy to be using Lilypond as my engraver, the output is (naturally) remarkably great on the first compile, and I'm absolutely sure this pace would be (for me) impossible with any other piece of software. So, from this (hard-)working composer and engraver, a deeply heartfelt "MUCHOS GRACIAS"!! =) Best regards, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Adding / deleting staves on the fly
Hi Risto, [by the way... "Risto" is the middle name given to me by my Serbian mother!! =) ] I've been trying to find out how to create and delete staves on the fly. This would be very useful especially in choir music when one voice is quiet for a long time or when a voice is divided and it is no longer convenient to cram them into one staff. I've been composing and engraving a lot of choral scores lately, and (naturally) have run into the same issues... The situation (at least for me) isn't as simple as being able to create and delete staves on the fly: such a solution requires way too many manual adjustments for different editions (or anytime the page layout changes). Short of Lilypond gaining *serious* artificial intelligence capabilities... ;-) I have come to the conclusion that the best situation would be as follows: 1. Encode ALL POSSIBLE staff situations (e.g., 4-staff S+A+T+B, 3-staff SA+TB, and 1-staff SATB); 2. Provide a "rating" for each measure (or section), ranking the layouts from "most desirable" to "least desirable" (or perhaps "necessary" to "fallback"?); and then 3. Have Lilypond decide which layout to select, once horizontal layout has been determined. I took a (brief) stab at trying to do this using #'tag, but (AFAICS) what I'm looking for is way beyond the capability of that mechanism. Dev Team: 1. Does this idea make any sense? 2. Is it technically feasible to do this? 3. How gigantic a job [and, thus, how expensive a sponsorship] would it be? Thanks!

Hiding "empty" staves is easy, see below.

that's something I can't answer...

If you simply want staves with rests only to disappear, simply add the
RemoveEmptyStaffContext to your layout. To force this to also apply to the
first system of a score, set #'remove-first of VerticalAxisGroup to ##t:
\layout{
\context {
\Score
% Remove all-rest staves, even in the first system
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
}
However, this will not print the choir bracket if only one staff is left. In
this case, the Lilypond Snipplet Repository comes to help:
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=201
Simply add
\context {
\ChoirStaff
% If only one non-empty staff in a system exists, still print the backet
\override SystemStartBracket #'collapse-height = #1
}
to the \layout section, too. As an example you can check my Litaniae
Lauretanae KV 109 at CPDL:
http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Litaniae_Lauretanae_BMV_-_KV_109_(Wolfgang_Amadeus_Mozart)
The lilypond files can be downloaded there, too.
As for dynamically splitting/combining multiple voices into multiple/single
staves when needed, that's a problem where I would like to get an answer, too
(I need it for a mass where the soloists staves can be combined into the
choir staff most of the time, only in one place do they sing together with
the choir).
Cheers,
Reinhold

RE: ly2midi abc2ly etc
I don't know about the abc, but you can have LP create midi files by adding
\midi to the score block. As an example:
\score
{
\context PianoStaff
<<
\set PianoStaff.instrument = ""
\context Staff = upper \upper
\context Staff = lower \lower
>>
\layout {}
\midi {\tempo 4 = 136}
}

Adding / deleting staves on the fly
Dear All, I've been trying to find out how to create and delete staves on the fly. This would be very useful especially in choir music when one voice is quiet for a long time or when a voice is divided and it is no longer convenient to cram them into one staff. Another issue is starting a song with just one voice and forcing the staff to start with the ChoirStaff. One workaround was introduced (below) but I couldn't use it to add a new staff for the next system. http://www.nabble.com/One-staff-in-ChoirStaff-tf1934152.html#a5299462 Unfortunately, (obviously) I cannot provide you a code snippet but I composed an image of the score I had in my mind (below). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/ripstop/muuta/choir_staff_problem.png I hope there is a way to do this and that I had just missed the instructions. :-) -Risto -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Adding---deleting-staves-on-the-fly-tf4194952.html#a11930338 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Trouble with lilypond-book on Mac OS X
Yes, I'm quite unfamiliar with command-line tools, and I never really needed any. A good introduction to the command line and how to set PATH etc. is at http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/ You will need to set the path in a file called .login in your home directory. You can create this in any text editor (e.g. EMacs.) Incidentally, I use EMacs to edit my Lilypond files precisely for that reason - that it gives you cursor position information (as well as being generally a nicer environment to work in.) Hope this helps, Vivian. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
