RE: OSX version ???
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.

RE: double repeat voltas
David Fedoruk wrote 13 January 2008 06:28 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.

RE: Fitting more bars in a line
Keith You may need to use \noBreak and \break commands to manually control the number of bars in a system.

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. Cheers, David -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.

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.

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 http://bopland.org/find-lick.html?time=4%2F4changes=Dm+Bm7-5+%7C+E7+A7+%7Csearch.x=0search.y=0search=Findpage=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. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user 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. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/new-LilyPond-based-project-tp14761297p14793613.html 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
partcombine
dear all, in the following snippet I use \partcombine and no Triplets are displayed. When I % the \partcombine and the second part then everything is fine.

Re: Feature request: attach notation elements to barlines

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. :-( -Risto -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Feature-request%3A-attach-notation-elements-to-barlines-tp14785601p14796730.html 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
