autolinebreaks in measureless music
For certain (measureless) church music (e.g. Genevian Psalms) I set Score.timing = ##f so there are no barlines. But then lilypond tries to put everything on one line. Is it possible to have lilypond automagically break lines so I don't have to put \bar everywhere to manually create places for breaking lines? Or is setting e.g. \time 1/2 and remove timesig and barline engravers the better way to get what I want? tiafah :) w. best regards, Wilbert Berendsen -- http://www.wilbertberendsen.nl/ You must be the change you wish to see in the world. -- Mahatma Gandi ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Why can't I get this to work (viola tuning)
That's a bug, which unfortunately seems to survive also in the latest stable version. According to http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=349 this bug was fixed in version 2.10.25, but it's clearly present in 2.10.29.

I'm pretty certain that we won't have any stable releases for the next two weeks, and 2.12 will be coming out soon after that. Therefore I don't think it's worth re-opening this bug. Julian, could you try using 2.11.32? Rune, don't worry; your fix was included in 2.11.

another harp question
Hi All, Another question about harp notation. The usual way to indicate that a harp string is to be plucked as a harmonic is to add a small, empty circle above or below that note. It would be similar to a staccatto mark, but a bit bigger, and not all black. I see that this type of circle is possible with the Hair Pins, but can it be added all by itself? -- ° Chris° ° ° Christopher A.

Re: guitar polyphony
Helge Kruse wrote: Hello, I want to write my first guitar notes with tabs after finishing some harp scores. While I found most guitar specific points, I have problem with polyphony. The normal polyphony gives a problem with tabs. The notes are written to the staff instead of tab. (see meaure 4). What's wrong? The {...} \\ {...} construct will always create Voice contexts, whereas you want new TabVoice contexts within your TabStaff. Please read Explicitly instantiating voices in the manual for more information. One way to do it in your score is \version 2.11.25 melody = \relative c { \key d \major \time 4/4 d8 a' d fis a,, e' a cis | b, fis' b d d,, fis' a cis | g, d' g b d,, fis' a d | g,, g' b d a, e' a cis | \voiceTwo d,,2 a' } secondvoice = \relative c { s1*4 \voiceOne fis'8 d, a' d e a, cis e, } \score { \context Staff = Guit \clef G_8 \new Voice \melody \new Voice \secondvoice \context TabStaff = Tab \set TabStaff.stringTunings = #'(4 -1 -5 -10 -15 -22) \new TabVoice \melody \new TabVoice \secondvoice } The bass notes in the first three measures (d, a, b, d, g, d, g, a) should be printed as half notes but stick with the beams. This is normally not correct but usual in guitar notation. How can this be done? Certainly! If you define the macro halfnote = {\once \override NoteHead #'duration-log = #1 } at the top of your file, you can use it like \halfnote d8 a' d fis \halfnote a,, e' a cis | /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: repeats, nested repeats and alternatives

You can't put overrides (or anything else) between the bracketed sections of \alternative; just put the bar number override inside the second alternative. Well, you can, but what your code \alternative { { e f e f } \set Score.currentBarNumber = #2 { e f e b} means is that the first alternative is { e f e f }, your second alternative is \set Score.currentBarNumber = #2 and your third alternative is { e f e b}. Read section Music expressions explained to understand why. Also, regarding the bar numbering, the typesetting practice varies from score to score. I've seen many scores where the two alternatives are counted as separate measures. 3) Collapsing alternatives This is more a suggestion than a question but when dealing with big orchestral parts, the \alternative tag is very painful to maintain. Indeed, in some case, trumpets have the same alternatives bars ( i.e. alternative 1. and 2. are duplicates) and should/might be collapsed into one bar. While in the conductor it have to remain expanded (because flutes have different altenatives). Could this automatic collapsing (and numbering) be implemeted easily or obtained via a tweak? One solution is to define your own music function (or rather use two alternative implementations of the same function), which takes two arguments, the main part of the repeat and the alternative. Here's an example. Note that both \score blocks are identical. \version 2.10.0 % Definition to use in the individual parts: repeatSameAlt = #(define-music-function (parser location repeatbody alternative) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ \repeat volta 2 {$repeatbody $alternative } #}) \score{ \relative c''{ \time 3/4 c c c \repeatSameAlt { d d d } { g g g } } } % Definition to use in the conductors score: repeatSameAlt = #(define-music-function (parser location repeatbody alternative) (ly:music? ly:music?) #{ \repeat volta 2 $repeatbody \alternative{{ $alternative }{ $alternative }} #}) \score{ \relative c''{ \time 3/4 c c c \repeatSameAlt { d d d } { g g g } } } /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: sunday school music
Hi Tim, OK I see the problems you are having with \partcombine and lyrics now. AFAICS, \partcombine seems to mess with the parts to the extent that there is no single Voice available that the lyrics can follow. The example I tried shows that the documented one and two voices only contain the notes that are separated (not chords) so you only get lyrics beneath the separate notes. Looking at a dump of the stream event output, there are voices one, two, shared, and solo. I think the notes are directed at different voices depending on whether they are separate or not, so I suspect linking the lyrics to a voice is a non-starter for the case of \partcombine. My suspicion is that \partcombine was never intended to be used with lyrics, but I could be wrong. There is an example in the Lilypond docs which show how to generate lyrics independently of other voices and that might be the way to go. See 7.3.5.4 Lyrics independent of notes OK, enough of that moaning, using the above method, here is what I get which seems to work with the previous fix for part-combine.scm. The method involves using the top-most voice and creating a pseudo DevNull voice context which the lyrics can track. It exists but there is no output.
