2008-01-13 Thread Joe Mc Cool
Please,

in my latex file I have:

\newcommand{\lily  }[1]{\lilypondfile{#1}{#1}}

but, lilypond-book then complains:

lilypond-book: error: file not found: #1

Again in my niavete, I had hoped to use blocks of latex code like:

 \begin{figure}[h]
 \index{over the ocean}
 \lily{lilys/over.the.ocean.ly}  % current implementation of newcommand
 \end{figure}

I am using a figure environment to ensure that no tune involves a page
turn.

I have googled and googled and noticed that this issue has come up
before, but I do not see a work around.

RE: OSX version ???

2008-01-13 Thread Trevor Daniels

Daniel

Welcome to LilyPond!

What you describe is quite correct behaviour.  LilyPond is
unlike many applications and does not have pull-down menus.
Instead you must prepare and save a text file written in
LilyPond input format, and then drop this on the LilyPond
icon to convert this to a printed music file.

The essential first step is to locate the manual which was
installed with it and read the tutorial there.  This
describes how to write input files.  If you can't find the
manual, look at the LilyPond documentation on the website
where you found the download.

 I've worked ahead on this piece of music and 
 found that perhaps the
 problem is not where it thought that it was.
 
 What I saw as a single bar line in the middle of 
 a bar is actually an
 extra bar who's ending bar line I could not see 
 (yet). As soon as I
 attempted to move into the next section, the end 
 of the bar appeared.

This is usually a symptom of an incorrect note
duration (one that is too long) or maybe an extra
inserted note, which cause all remaining notes
to be shifted slightly to the right, and at the
end of the section the little bit left over causes
a new bar to be started.  You are using bar checks,
which is good, so make sure you have these inserted
frequently, in even every bar if the rhythm is complex,
and in all voices, including skip voices, and look for
errors in the log file.  I would hazard a guess that
your skip notes don't quite match the music length.
Check the upbeats are correct too.

 This has been a hair puling problem (thankfully, 
 I still have hair
 left -- so I am not yet defeated!). The music is 
 as I have described
 in my first post. I am at the point where the B 
 section is ending and
 the last A is upon me.
 
 | A |: B1 :|: B2 | B2 1st ending :| B2 2nd ending | A ||
 
 The problem first occurs in the second ending, a 
 bar line in the
 middle where it should not be. The other problems 
 in this section come
 from having to move from the B section which is 
 one voice to the A
 section which  has two voices. I've only been 
 partially successful in
 solving this problem.

RE: Fitting more bars in a line

2008-01-13 Thread Trevor Daniels

Keith

You may need to use \noBreak and \break commands to manually
control the number of bars in a system.  By forbidding line
breaks with \noBreak at the point where the breaks currently
are, you should get more bars on a line.  Alternatively, if
there are too many systems you could set system-count in the
paper block to the number of systems you require.

I've already checked the visible notes both note by note and with the
midi control track which means the problem is in the lower staff  I
forced to contain the single voice in tandem with the upper staff.

I was  not at all sure of what I was doing and just pressing on,
guessing values. At the end I simply tweaked the last value until
there was no empty staff space. So I think I'll have to go through and
calculate all those values exactly until I find the one that is
causing this. I guess I'm looking for exactly one bar of time.

If I can correct the time problem will that solve the problem I'm
having getting the B section to become two voices again? That problem
haunts here but I think it is linked to the extra bar lines as well.

from abc a general approach ?

2008-01-13 Thread Joe Mc Cool
Please,

I am trying to put together a collection of (Irish) traditional music and I
need some general advice.

I have lilypond book working quite well, but I find the abc code is
such that the resulting abc2ly files are often unsatisfactory -
problems with beaming, abc2ly complains about a variety of things and
says HUH ? a lot.  Patching up the abc and/or ly is a lot of work.

One of the reasons why I tried Lillypond at all is that I perceive a
lack of standards in abc files.

I have also tried abcm2ps and producing eps files.  But here I cannot
get latex to position the graphics consistently on the page and the
printed output is again not very attractive sometimes.

Any tips ?

Perhaps I just have to prepare myself for a lot of donkey work and
there is nothing I can do about it :-(

In the latest 2.11.x there is a page-count in which you can specify the

RE: Shifting a markup

2008-01-13 Thread Trevor Daniels
Alasdair

One way is to use the \mark command.  This is normally used
for rehearsal marks, and the key point is that it is
positioned relative to the barline.  The horizontal
adjustment can be varied from left-aligned to right-aligned
by setting self-alignment-X.  Left-aligned is -1,
right-aligned +1.  Any value inbetween may be specified.  I
found a value of -0.2 was about right:

{
  c c c c
  \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X =
#-0.2
  \mark \markup {
\smaller \note #2 #1 = \smaller \note #2. #1
  }
  c c c c
}

Don't forget RehearsalMark is in the Score context by
default.

Thanks for the tip. I think I'll use a pencil to update the printed  
version with the fingering. It's for private use only, so that is a  
feasible solution.

Lilypond slowness when invoking with *.ly

2008-01-13 Thread Michael Käppler

Hi all,
when processing a number of files, it takes on my machine much more time 
calling Lily with: lilypond *.ly than lilypond a.ly  lilypond b.ly 
 

Is this a general issue with Lily's memory managment?

Regards,
Michael

Szia!

Lilypond suports UTF8 as character encoding input. Save your file in
UTF8 encoding and it will appear in the pdf like you wrote it.

 Please can anyone suggest what I can do to fit 8 or 9 bars per line rather
 than 7 or 8.

I get the best results with the system-count variable, try putting
\layout { system-count = 11 } in the score section of the first part and 
\layout { system-count = 10 } in the score section of the second part.

GDP: NR 1.1 Pitches

2008-01-13 Thread Graham Percival
I'm still seeking comments on NR 1.1 Pitches.  As far as I know,
only one advanced user has read the whole thing in the past month.
If you read it and didn't see any problems, please let me know.

View it here (and not on lilypond.org!)
http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/

A pdf is available.  The section is 24 pages; if you prefer
viewing documentation on paper, then please consider printing it
out.  You could read it on a bus/subway, under the table during a
boring business meeting, or even during an orchestra rehearsal
while the conductor fixes mistakes in the viola section.  Unless
you play viola, of course.


I know you're all sick of me asking for comments about this
section, but it's important to catch mistakes before people start
translating -- if we discover mistakes after the translations are
done, we need to update documents in every language, instead of
just the English docs.

Also, this is the first part of the NR to be updated.  The rest of
the NR will follow the layout of 1.1 Pitches.  If there's any
problems with the layout / formatting, then I *really* want to
know now, before we edit the rest of the docs to match this
formatting.


Here is the current TODO list; don't report any issues which are
already on this list.

MINOR ISSUES

- headword could be improved (line-break)
- some minor formatting issues with included LSR stuff.


POSTPONED  (ie after GDP is over)

Note names in other languages:
- table formatting 
- pitches in Turkish Maquam and other microtonal systems?


Cheers,
- Graham

Re: new LilyPond based project

 This is an announcement about new LilyPond based project.
 http://bopland.org
 
 The BopLand.org project is FREE knowledge database for improvising
 musician.
 The database contains hundreds of beautiful melodic patterns played by
 outstanding jazz musicians like Bill Evans, Clifford Brown, Gerry Mulligan
 and
 others. All licks present in the database were carefully transcribed and
 examined to contain no errors.
 
 More about the project:
 http://bopland.org/about.html
 
 For quick start with BopLand.org search engine use the links below:
 http://bopland.org/find-lick.html?time=4/4changes=|%20Dm7%20|%20G7%20|%20Cmajpage=1licks_per_page=10
 http://bopland.org/find-lick.html?time=4/4changes=Ebmpage=1licks_per_page=10

 The BopLand.org syntax used for adding new licks slightly differs from
 LilyPond's one.
 However all patterns found in the database come along with their source
 code, moreover
 notations used at BopLand.org closely match hand-written notaions, so
 adding
 new lick
 won't be a headache. Documentaion is available at
 http://bopland.org/bopland-format.html
 
 To contribute a lick or test the BopLand.org engine check the following
 link:
 http://bopland.org/add-lick.html
 
 The project is currently in beta version. Any comments, suggestions, and
 bug
 reports are
 highly appreciated at
 http://bopland.org/feedback.html
 
 Sincerely Yours,
 BopLand.org Team.

I agree, I was enthused to see your jazz transcriptions but was
disappointed.  If the web site needs a user manual to use it, then it's
doomed.  Can you automatically just generate all the links to the content or
categorize it some how so people can just browse the site?  Maybe just list
all the progressions you have on file as clickable links (not key
sensitive).  Not to be too harsh but the content should be accessible to the
average person. :)  

Also I entered the following 2 identical chord progressions (except in
different keys) but got different search results:

| Dm7 | G7 | Cmaj |
| Em7 | A7 | Dmaj |

IOW the search engine should NOT be key sensitive.

You have a great domain name and a great idea, though the site needs a
useability review.

I hope this was constructive as it was meant to be constructive.

 Something I often want to be able to do is to attach a notational

Good idea. |\p |\f etc. would also be nice. When there isn't too much
vertical space you have to place dynamics on invisible rests and play with
extra-space which sometimes is time-consuming. :-(
