Re: Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?
Can someone explain to me why the eighth note and half
note have their heads merged in the first measure while the quarter
note and the half note in the second measure do not?
\relative c''
{
\new Voice {
c8 c4.
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
c8 c4.
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##f
c4 c4
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-headed = ##t
\override Staff.NoteCollision #'merge-differently-dotted = ##t
c4 c4 } \\
{ c2 c2 c2 c2 }
Yes it seems strange but i think it is on purpose.
With a eighth note and a half note, the little hook of the eighth note
(sorry don't remember how you call that in english) lets you to understand
the duration of each merged notes.
There is no way to distinguish a quarter note and a half note if they are
merged. It can make believe you that it is 2 half notes.
(of course reading forward in the measure let you imagine the real duration
of each note)

change staff to staff in different context
Hello:
I've used the \change Staff = upper command with success in another
score. Now I am using a more complex scheme layout and the staff I
need to change to is in another context. Using \change Staff =
lhupper\lhOne will at least render something. Anything else I've
tried just stops lilypond in its tracks.
this is my layout:
% snip %%
\score{
\context PianoStaff
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = \markup { \large \bold { { 4 }}}
\context Staff = rh {
\context Voice = rhupper { \rhOne }
\context Voice = rhlower { \rhTwo }
}
\context Staff = lh {
\context Voice = lhupper { \lhOne }
\context Voice = lhlower { \lhTwo }
}
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\override NonMusicalPaperColumn
#'line-break-system-details = #'((alignment-offsets .
(0 -14)))
}
\version 2.11.28
}
\midi { }
}
%%%
I've checked the snippets example, but that doesn't work with my
scheme. I am not just changing staff, the staff I want to change to is
in another context. Lilypond always tells me that cannot change
`Context' to `rhTwo': none of these in my family. I think I haven't
told lilypond how to find the staff I want it to switch to correctly.
I've tried multiple variants but only get more errors.
Cheers,
David

Re: change staff to staff in different context
The name of the Staff you want to change to is either rh
or lh, since that's the names you have specified for the
staves. It seems that you have confused these with the
names of the variables/macros/identifiers that contain the
actual music.

Re: Why Is This Merge Behavior Different?
Please note that I understand that it is LilyPond's intended behavior
to never merge a quarter note and a half note regardless of how
properties are set. I also understand why this should be the default
behavior. I guess I don't understand why setting
'merge-differently-headed should not override the default behavior for
quarter notes as well as flagged notes. I've attached a snippet of
some old sheet music which does merge a quarter note and a half note.
While in some contexts it might be ambiguous, in this case, it is not.
BTW, I have figured out how to fake the behavior that I want.

GDP: index entries for snippets
Latest GDP docs http://web.uvic.ca/~gperciva/ (although these are almost identical to the 2.11.39 docs at the moment) Do we want index entries for snippets? For example, in NR 1.1.3.2 Key signature there are two snippets: suppressing natural signs in key signatures, and non-standard key signatures. Do you want to have items like: @cindex key signatures, suppressing natural signs @cindex don't print natural signs in key signatures @cindex key signatures, non-standard @cindex key signatures, whole tone pointing to these? Adding index entries for all the snippets increases the amount of work that we need to do on each doc section, of course. I'm personally not convinced that these are necessary -- after all, if a user can't find key signature in the index, he won't be able to find key signature, suppressing natural signs. And if he _is_ looking a way to avoid printing natural signs in key signatures, I think he'd look at key signatures even if there wasn't a key signature, suppressing natural signs entry. More examples are in NR 1.2.1.2 Tuplets such as @funindex tupletNumberFormatFunction @funindex tupletSpannerDuration and @cindex tuplet bracket length @cindex triplet bracket length @cindex bracket length, tuplets Of course, I famously never use the index, so I'm not the best person to judge whether certain index entries are helpful or not.

LilyPond interprets dynamics the same way as a musician does, namely that each dynamics indication lasts until the next one appears, so there's no need to repeat the same dynamics indication (actually, LilyPond follows this rule much more strictly than most musicians). /Mats Marco Pagliari wrote: I'm creating MIDI files for my choir.

Re: GDP: NR 1.1 Pitches 2008-02-03
2008/2/3, Graham Percival [EMAIL PROTECTED]: The one big change: since nobody has touched the texi2html stuff on the technical TODO list (estimated: 3 hours for a perl programmer), it appears that we're not going to get longer HTML pages. You may recall that the original plan was to have all of 1.1.1 Writing pitches on a single page. I was not a big fan of having longer pages, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with it the way it is. Plus, I'd like to say that this first result of the GDP process is quite a nice success; kudos to all helpers! I wish the next steps will be as good as this one :) Cheers, Valentin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hello, all!
I'm trying to fix the collision in the following example:

c1 \startTrillSpan b\stopTrillSpan\startTrillSpan

Hi Kieren,
I'm facing exactly the same problem tonight; did you ever get a
solution for shortening wavy trill lines (and thus preventing their
collision)?
Your posts from June show that you weren't able to get shorten-pair to
do anything for trills, and that's my experience here, too.
Anything creative?
Always fun to reply to a thread from a year and a half ago, so here goes:
There's now a *much* better way of shortening one end of a trill spanner
manually: using the new (as of 2.11.something) #'bound-details list. Here's
an example.
Adjacent trill spanners overlap uncomfortably by default:
\new Staff {
c1 \startTrillSpan b\stopTrillSpan\startTrillSpan c\stopTrillSpan
}
You might think that #'shorten-pair would do the trick, but it doesn't:
\new Staff {
\once \override TrillSpanner #'shorten-pair = #'(0 . -2)
c1 \startTrillSpan b\stopTrillSpan\startTrillSpan c\stopTrillSpan
}
But you can instead use the #'right sublist of #'bound-details:
\new Staff {
\once \override TrillSpanner #'bound-details #'right #'padding = #2
c1 \startTrillSpan b\stopTrillSpan\startTrillSpan c\stopTrillSpan
}
The key to figuring this out is that, as of 2.11.12 or .13 or so,
TrillSpanner implements all the goodies in the #'bound-details list
described in 1.8.3.2 Text and line spanners.
[I can't remember if I've mailed this one out before or not, but as I had to
spend a couple of minutes rediscovering it myself, I thought I'd share. Also
mental note to check and add to LSR ...]

Re: GDP: LM 3-4
graham: LM 3 and LM 4 are quite hard going for anyone fairly new to LilyPond. thank you trevor! i am certainly a newbie, and although i have always found these sections very confusing, i never spoke up cause i had no suggestions about how to improve them. now that i'm trying to help, i'll ramble out loud here a little... to just read these sections is confusing and boring. the tweaking is especially hard to read. i mean i hardly ever have an issue about how lilypond engraves, and when it is different than what i'm transcribing, i usually don't care. i realize i am at the very bottom of the lilypond user pool, i simply want my lesson pieces larger for my old eyes, and the midi output is great too. enough rambling. i was proud/relieved recently, when after ~10 minutes of targetted study, i got a \once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #4 \tempo 4=88 \set Score.skipBars = ##t R1*3 to move the tempo marking above the 3 for the multi-measure rest. when given a specific problem to solve like this, the lm and nr docs are quite helpful. i had to get the naming convention, which engraver, and the property, and it worked out pretty quickly. but to just peruse the list of objects and properties is painful. now file structure is another confusing subject where again i have no sugesstion, but i do wish it were easier for the newbie. i worked on a couple of pieces for hours trying to use includes etc to completely minimize the amount of repeating any typing, such as putting music notes for violin, pianoright and pianoleft in separate files, the combining to print a score, a piano part with reduced violin above, and a violin by itself. i got something passable, but never nailed where some things. for example, i could not get a piano with smaller violin staff without repeating the violin music with a smaller staff, or having the violin part not show fingerings in the piano printout.
