Lilypond scores do not have Scheme syntax, although Scheme syntax is used in modifying display properties. In the past, people have used Scheme (inside a Lilypond input file) and Python (to create a Lilypond input file) as tools for creating random music for guitar practice. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/29854 and following links for how both python and scheme were used. If this is not what you're thinking of, try to explain a bit more, and I'm sure somebody on -user will help.

RE: text in chord lines
Victor - Thanks for the challenge. A clean way to do this eludes me. It seems that markup in \chords { . . . } is not accepted. A feature request? See http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=209 where the answer may reside, but it's messy. You can use \markup in the notes, but matching the font and positioning is also messy.

associatedVoice question
Hi, I'm still trying to get my lyrics centerered on notes and I'm trying to set the associatedVoice property. This is the warning I'm getting: "Lyric syllable does not have note. Use \lyricsto or associatedVoice." Since I want to use lyricmode I am trying to figure out where to put the \set command. Everywhere I have tried has no effect. I don't get any errors, just nothing. I have attached the sample file that demonstrates this. Where do I put the \set associatedVoice to get rid of this warning?

Centered movement names
(I just also sent this from an unsubscribed address so that one can be dropped.) 2.11.27 or so. scoreTitleMarkup |(10.2.2 Custom titles) sounds like a great idea but not as it seems to be implemented. Movement names are normally different for different movements so putting it in the paper block doesn't seem to make sense. Is there a current way to change something like the current instrument header field for each movement?

Is it the best solution? Hmm... this is a difficult situation. A really tedious and involved way is to insert some invisible notes (a semibreve works best) to force the notes apart. It's an ugly botch which complicates midi output, but it works: hide = \once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t testnotesS = \relative c'' {c4 \bar "|" bes8[ aes] g[ f] g4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 g4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 \bar "|." } testnotesA = \relative c' {ees4 f ees ees4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 ees4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 } testnotesT = \relative c' {aes4 bes c bes4*99/100 \hide bes1*99/400 bes4*99/100 \hide bes1*99/400 } testnotesB = \relative c {f4 g g ees4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 ees4*99/100 \hide g1*99/400 } testwordsChoir = \lyricmode {ein zwei drei vi -- \skip 4 er } ii) the 'finalis' in the first cantor line appears more like a final double > bar (a thin and a thick line) but the second 'finalis' is okay.

Thanks! ?? I don't remember having read such a thing; on the contrary when you create a transparent object, it does takes an empty place. ; as for the all-invisible setting, it doesn't apply to the very first time signature (whether it's in a \score or a \markup block); so removing the Time_signature_engraver is clearly the solution here. > I still don't know why the solution I had suddenly stopped working, though! > Any offers? I'd like to know so that I can either learn from my mistakes or > put it down to a bug. IIndeed, I've just tested it myself and it seems that the first time signature visibility was introduced in 2.11.

closing bar lines - spacing and display issues in 2.11.28
Folks, I'm getting various problems with my closing bar-lines, as demonstrated in the code attached below. If you compile it you'll see that: i) the closing bar of the choral section is far to close to the last notes. I've tried overriding all kinds of BarLine properties, including extra-offset and spacing-alist, but can't get anything to do what I need. I'm getting this same error in various choral sections throughout my score. Two are okay, eleven are not and I can't work out what the common feature is for the ones that are okay! It seems to be predominently final bar-lines causing the problem - bar-lines internal to the choral sections are mostly spaced just fine, although there are some which are too close to the preceeding notes. I'd like a fix I could apply to those too, without upsetting all the ones which are okay. What's going on, and how do I fix it? I'm thinking it might be easier to define exactly what I want (a double-bar line with a fixed amount of spacing before it) as an identifier that I can just insert instead of \bar "|."? Can I do this, and if so, how? Is it the best solution? ii) the 'finalis' in the first cantor line appears more like a final double bar (a thin and a thick line) but the second 'finalis' is okay. What's going on and how do I make them all okay? iii) the staff lines extend beyond the 'finalis' for the second cantor line. Again, what's going on, and how do I fix it? I also have another problem, for which I've not provided code because I don't have time to create a minimal example. In the longer choral sections, all my bar-lines are different weights, varying between very heavy and medium. I'd prefer them all to be medium. What do I need to tweak to set this?

Ignoring certain parts when using lilypond-book
Hi all! Probably I'm just blind, but I couldn't find anything in the online documentation: Is there a way to ignore certain parts of a .ly file (e.g. the whole \paper{..} section) when including that .ly file in a tex file for lilypond-book. In particular, I want to combine lots of christmas songs into a book. However, each song was laid out on its own with separate page margins etc. When I include these files directly into the tex file, lilypond-book will use the margins given in the .ly file and not take those inherited from tex, which results in the images being way too large (margins are larger in the tex document than I set them in lilyond). I don't want to split eachfile into two, so I'm looking for something like \ignoreInLilypondBook { \paper { left-margin = 1\cm } } Is there anything like this?
