Take a look at the LSR - if you search for bartok, you'll get:

I absolutely agree. Quite often, I save a snippet on disk to have it available 
online, only to stumble upon it a few weeks/months later. Of course, at that 
time, I have no idea any more about the lilypond version needed for the 
snippet (and at that time, the LSR page will not help, either). If I'm 
online, I can search the LSR again, but if I'm on a train or otherwise 
offline, I have no way to get a correct version of the snippet.

Furthermore, I really think it's counterproductive to tell everyone that each 
lilypond file should have a \version statement (even the guide on minimal 
examples says that a \version statement should always be included!), while 
the "official" source of examples does exactly the opposite!

Cheers,
Reinhold

Re: headless notes

If you search in the "LilyPond index", i.e. the index of the
user manual, then you will find what you search for if
you look for "hiding" or "invisible" or "removing" or "transparent".
If you look at the manual for version 2.11, you have to look
in the index for the Learning Manual to find these.

I'm asking because I'm typsetting 17th century organ music which has

decrease the thickness of a tremolo, it looks almost right, except for 
the distance between the slashes. They should be a bit closer together.

Re: Defining an Ossia context

2008-03-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

If you try to explain what you want the new context to
do, it will be much easier to provide accurate help.
In general, I strongly recommend you to take a look at
the file ly/engraver-init.ly, where all the default contexts
are defined. For example, if you look at the definition of
the PianoStaff context, you will see how to base a new
context definition on an already existing one.

Afternoon.

I have been tidying up my lilypond source files and decided to try to 
be clever and define an 'ossia' context in one of my layout template

every single engraver I would need to use (I thought that \alias Staff 
would do that - but was wrong.)


What I have done seems to work except for two things. 1) I can't get 
the slurs to display. 2) The layout engine does not allocate any 
vertical space to the Ossia and allows beams from the staff above and 
below to collide. I included the Vertically_spaced_contexts_engraver 
and Vertical_align_engraver in a fit of guess-work, but it didn't solve 
the problem.


Is there a simple solution,other than manually tweaking the system 
positions?

Re: Chord changes under voltas?

2008-03-02 Thread Mats Bengtsson

You can't have searched very thoroughly, this topic has
been discussed several times on the mailing lists.
There are two main solutions for you:
- Update to version 2.11.x where the voltas appear
 above the chord names by default. Although 2.11 is an
 "unstable development" version, I would still classify it
 as at least as good as 2.10 if you want to do serious
 typesetting.
- Take a look at the "volta-chord-names.ly" example
 in the Tips and Tricks document in the documentation
 for version 2.10.

There was a short thread on this topic in Feb-March 2003 ("Chords

I am using Lilypond to produce jazz leadsheets.  Lilypond prints chord 
symbols above volta lines.  This is most unorthodox and 
disconcerting--the symbols should be above the staff but below the 
volta.  I am using 2.10.29.


Is there a workaround, or should this be reported as a bug?

Hello.

ensemble works that tend to utilise a large percussion section. Now, is 
it possible to type-set the percussion section shown in perc.jpg in 
LilyPond? (Yes, I drew that by hand, but without the assistance of a 
ruler. I aligned it to  the lines of note-book paper.)
   Also, how may I type-set the note-heads for the different durations

Introducing OrchestralLily: A package to easily create complex orchestral scores in lilypond

2008-03-02 Thread Reinhold Kainhofer
I'm happy to finally present my latest project:

 OrchestralLily 
 
 A package for lilypond to easily create orchestral scores
 Version 0.01
 http://wiki.kainhofer.com/lilypond/orchestallily


If you are using Lilypond to write large orchestral scores, with individual 
scores for each instrument or instrument group, you have certainly run into 
the problem that the (usually quite complex) structure of each movement with 
lots of staff groups is the same, and you copy'n'paste Score and Staff 
definitions of exactly the same structure all over the place. Additionally, 
you have to manually track which instruments play in a movement and which do 
not.

This is exactly the point, which OrchestralLily tries to solve:
You define a staff hierarchy (or multiple staff group hierarchies) once, and 
OrchestralLily will take care of correctly creating the staves or staff 
groups. You can concentrate on writing the music instead of the the 
structure.

A very simple example can be found in the documentation:
http://wiki.kainhofer.com/lilypond/orchestallily#a_simple_examplesoprano_solo_and_violoncello


Currently, this is the very first preview release with probably several bugs 
(although I have to say that it works really well in my two large scores. For 
example, it saved me ~7000 lines of manual staff and score definitions in my 
score of Schubert's Stabat mater with 12 parts, 23 instruments and a total of 
35 different scores: full scores, vocal score, choral score, individual 
instrument scores, scores for groups of instruments...).

Proper support for cue notes (with clef and cue instrument name, but 
unfortunately without lyrics attached) is also included.

I hope you'll like it and find it useful!

Cheers,
Reinhold


PS: Two things that are not yet implemented but definitely planned are:
-) Staves with multiple voices (using \voiceOne, \voiceTwo), possibly with 
lyrics attached. Currently, you'll still have to define those staves 
manually.
-) Support for transposing instruments. You'd define the music in sounding 
pitch, but the displayed staff would be automatically transposed to the 
defined key. Thus, all cue notes will also be correct automatically.

Autobeaming with subdivision in 4/4

2008-03-02 Thread Hugo Flordal
Hi,
  I have problems getting autobeaming to work together with beam subdivision in
4/4 timing. I'm typesetting for the scottish snare drum and there are two
requirements that need to be fulfilled,

  * beams should always start and end on even quarters (and nowhere else), and
  * beams should be subdivided on eighths. 

  These two seem impossible to achieve simultaneously. As soon as I set
beamLength to 1/8, the beams start to break on eighths as well. Strangely it
appears to work better in other timings. 
  Below is a small example... if you comment out \set beatLength on line 15, you
see that the auto beaming is working as it should, but with \set beatLength it
breaks. What am I doing wrong?

  thanks!
   /Hugo

Re: lilypond-book with multi-dir projects

Yes, that's a major problem.

The hack I'm using is to link all the lilypond files into one
directory.  I have a script that changes the names to include some
unique string, usually the directory name.

I don't think there's any way to use lilypond-book to do real work without 
several
kinds of hacks.  I'm using:

   A hack to get the margins to correctly line up with the headers.

   A hack to get the included files to cause recompilation

   The above mentioned hack to allow input files in multiple
   directories.

I think it's worth it to avoid using the hacks which will undoubtedly
change next month that people are adding to let lilypond do some of
the work of a real publishing program.  I don't expect anyone whose
experience of open-source software is limited to lilypond to believe
this, but I do have LaTeX files from almost 20 years ago that still
work.

Re: problem with trills

2008-03-02 Thread Stefan Thomas
Dear Reinhold,
thanks for Your tip! It works, but I would prefer the solution with the
pitched trill. The behavior of the accidentals there is really very strange,
as I've read in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-09/msg00465.html
Is there solution available for this problem?

Yes. 
If you add \version "2.10.5"  to the snippet (yes, I really hate it that the 
snippets don't say with which version of lilypond they work!!!) and let 
convert-ly run on it, you'll get the hint:

Applying conversion: 2.11.2, 2.11.5, 2.11.6, 2.11.10, 2.11.11, 2.11.13, Not 
smart enough to convert edge-text settings for TextSpanner.Use

\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'right #'text = 
\override TextSpanner #'bound-details #'left #'text = 
2.11.15, 2.11.23, 2.11.35, 2.11.38

Attached is the correct version for 2.11.38.

Cheers,
Reinhold

problem with trills

2008-03-02 Thread Stefan Thomas
Dear lilypondusers,
is it possible, that the snippet with the trills with extra-accitendals
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=304
don't work on version 2.11.38? When I tried do reproduce it, the accidentals
where not shown.
And I have another, very curious problem. When I use \pitchedTrill
sometimes the accidentals are not shown, although I use "!" , trying to
enforce them.
Is it a bug?
