Re: Latest Lilypond versions on Ubuntu?
2008/1/9, Joseph Haig [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I use Lilypond on Ubuntu and I just user the installer from lilypond.org. Get the latest from here: http://lilypond.org/web/install/ and then in a console, $ chmod +x lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh $ sudo ./lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh This is correct but there is no need to make the script executable if you launch it as an argument of the sh command, this way: sudo sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh As you are on the same directory the script is, and it is a regular filename used as argument, also there is no need of the ./ part.

Re: collision, is there a workaround?
Your example can be reduced to \version 2.11.37 \relative c''' { a8\rest ais4 } which shows the same bug, namely a collision between the rest and the note (which only seems to happen if the pitch is high enough so that the note gets a ledger line). This is a regression against 2.10.33. Strangely enough, you can't use standard tricks like \once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #1 to add some spacing between the notes.

Valentin Villenave wrote: This is the FIRST TIME EVER that I see a (smallest) mistake in one of your mails! Then you haven't read them so carefully! :-) Anyway, I realize that my previous formulations of this bug (and therefore your description of it in the bug tracker) may be misleading. The bug is an (almost) collision between a rest and an accidental and the fact that this only occurs when the note and the rest are outside the staff. Even though the spacing algorithms have changed between 2.10 and 2.11 and it's partly subjective how closely spaced the objects could be before calling it a bug, the problem here is that there's no non-ugly way of fixing the problem for a user who wants a larger spacing. Perhaps the true bug may be that the left-padding property is completely ignored in \relative c'' { \override Score.AccidentalPlacement #'left-padding = #10 a8\rest ais4 } The default setting of this property is 0.2, which seems to indicate that the intention is to avoid the edge-to-edge placement that we see with 2.11.37. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: different tempos
Hi Kostia, Welcome to Lilypond! =) Without seeing your exact code (Lilypond source file), it is difficult to diagnose the problem. However, I might recommend the following approach: 1. Writing all the music in a very short time signature (e.g., 2/4, or even 1/4). 2. Remove all TimeSignature and BarLine objects. That way, Lilypond can break at whatever point seems right to it, and there won't be any time signatures or bar lines to worry about. Hope this helps!

It would be very nice if the first staff and last staff on each page lined up when laid side by side. In other words, I want Lilypond to stretch the interstaff spacing appropriately for each page. I have searched the manual and the LSR without success. I've tried setting VerticalAlighment #'max-stretch = #ly:align-interface::calc-max-stretch without any change. In particular, the first page is the worst. Lilypond is pushing the staves way down (actually off) the page and leaving a large gap at the top between the title and the first staff. I am running 2.11.36. There is nothing special about the code or music to post. This is a different problem from my prior question asking how to even out the staves over multiple pages in orchestral parts. The solution offered (to set ragged-last-bottom = #f ) worked great. The issue here is just that in a 32 pages orchestral score, the total vertical height of the score increases and decreases with the number of ledger lines and text and I find the look of the score awkward as I read through the pages. Is there a way to instruct Lilypond to use all the available vertical space on a page? Much obliged.

Line-width, Staff Size, Print Size
What is the relationship between the digital size of the line-width and staff height (in Lilypond specs, in the .ps file, and in the .pdf file) and the printed output? Is it true and invariant? If I specify that the line-width = 178 mm, is it truly 178 mm? If I specify a staff height (#(set-global-staff-size 17.82)), is the staff height truly 6.3 mm? Here's the situation: up to now I have printed out my musical manuscripts at home and adjusted the staff size by eye and ruler. If I needed enlargements, I photocopied and enlarged the original by eye and ruler. I am now preparing a major orchestral score and parts and sending the .pdf files electronically to a print shop. I will format the musical score for an 8.5 x 11 in original so that the print shop will enlarge the score perfectly to 11x14 inches and the parts to 9.5 x 12 inches respectively. I need to tell the print shop the enlargement percentages. I am not asking for help in arithmetic here --- I can do the math. For example, if I wanted 1 inch margins in my 11 x 14 in score (and if I were printing directly onto 11 x 14 inch paper), I would set the line-width = 228.6 mm for 11x14 in paper. *However,* since I am formatting the score for 8.5 x 11 in paper, I must scale the line-width to 177.2 mm (78% reduction). Then the printer will enlarge the digital original by 129% to yield a final size of 228.6 mm. Will this reasoning hold accurately in the digital realm? Any pitfalls to watch out for? Much obliged.

Re: special characters in markup
2008/1/11, Paul Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED]: That's a good answer which I can use. This is not really needed anymore, as LilyPond can support all UTF-8 characters natively. I was actually thinking about normal characters like '' which have another syntactical meaning in Lily. Actually, the double quote is the only character you need to 'escape', by preceding it with a backslash: \markup This 'is' #a \quoted sentence\ \with $pecial {chars} As you can see, the #, { or \ characters are otherwise looking good.

opening Lilypond
Help! I have apparently successfully downloaded Lilypond to my Windows XP PC, but whenever I double click on the desktop icon all I get is the silly Let's take it for a test drive window. I'd really like to use your program; and feel silly asking How do I turn the darn thing on? I've tried rebooting the computer; didn't help. -Fencinflyer. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Lilypond: Newsgroup?
Hi all, I guess there are no newsgroups reflecting the lilypond mailing lists at the moment.? If not, should we try to set them up? That would make some things a lot easier. Regards, Stefan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I only spent 30 seconds looking at their site, so I'm not totally certain though.

Re: Lilypond: Newsgroup?
I can't see it making a huge difference. If you're interested, I believe that gmane supplies NNTP. I only spent 30 seconds looking at their site, so I'm not totally certain though. I do - searching in old threads is a _LOT_ easier with a newsgroup client than via http archive! I've been working for with gmane for some years in boost C++ newsgroups and I've also been moderator there ... I didn't have any negative experience so far. The setup of a new group is very easy and straightforward. More difficult is the migration of the previous mailings. Shall I drop Lars a note?
