Re: Changing the bar-number string
Thank you very much, Kieren! I was looking for a kind of solution like the one you wrote but I didn't arrive to Scheme snippet, so I think it's a big step toward the goal even if it doesn't really work yet. I'll try to start from these lines, maybe I will be luckier enough to find the right way. :D Best regards, Francesco ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Converting MIDI File into Lilypond...how can I get "piano score" notation?
I'm completely new to Lilypond. I have only really discovered it because I found a .mid file of a song I wanted the piano score to, so I downloaded it and I wanted to print out the sheet music. The problem is, I need to have it in piano score notation, meaning there is a bass and treble clef for each line, and I don't know how to go about doing that. I used rosegarden to export the file as a .ly, but of course Rosegarden only does one line output. I don't really have any good way of knowing what notes should be in the bass clef vs. treble clef, but I was hoping there was some sort of option where I could get the score "split" into the two clefs automatically. I have tried using NoteEdit, but it freezes up as soon as I try to do autobar or autobeam, and GNU Denemo crashes as soon as I open a midi file in it. What can I do?

Re: dotted or dashed phrasing slurs
If you use version 2.11, please note that this is one thing that has
changed, so please use the corresponding definitions
from ly/property-init.ly as a starting point. If I remember
correctly, convert-ly will issue a warning but will not solve the
problem automatically, when you upgrade your file.

http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=133
Oh, right, if you want to have these settings apply to real phrasing slurs
generated by \( and \), then you can't use \slurDashed, but have to apply the
appropriate settings on the PhrasingSlur object. if you look at the file
ly/property-init.ly, there is the definition for \slurDashed:
slurDashed = {
\override Slur #'dash-period = #0.75
\override Slur #'dash-fraction = #0.4
}
This sets the appropriate settings for slurs. For phrasing slurs, you would
simply have to define your own command, setting dash-period for PhrasingSlur:
phrasingSlurDashed = {
\override PhrasingSlur #'dash-period = #0.75
\override PhrasingSlur #'dash-fraction = #0.4
}
phrasingSlurDotted = {
\override PhrasingSlur #'dash-period = #0.75
\override PhrasingSlur #'dash-fraction = #0.1
}
phrasingSlurSolid = {
\revert PhrasingSlur #'dash-period
\revert PhrasingSlur #'dash-fraction
}
Sample file (the lsr example, adapted to phrasing slurs) is attached.
cheers,
Reinhold
PS: I wonder if we shouldn't add these definitions to ly/property-init.ly for
the sake of consistency...

Re: crescendo beginning in middle of note duration

Can such a situation be properly typeset using lilypond? If so, how?
Yes, one way I know of is by instantiating a temporary polyphony, and
attaching the dynamic to a 'space':
\new Staff \relative c' {
<< g1\pp {s2 s\< a1 b\ff}>>
}
This question is answered in the second example of the section on
Dynamics in the manual. Peter, can you provide a hint on how to make it
even more clear?

Re: Need help with upgrade from 2.2 to 2.10
I recognize the problem, when trying to use the precompiled binary package of 2.10 or 2.11 on Debian Sarge. The funny thing is that often I get the correct output anyway, but sometimes LilyPond simply breaks halfway through the compilation. /Mats Quoting Alan McConnell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I grabbed the big .gz from your site and ran the install.

Different distance line - chordnames within one score
Hi, I´ve determined a strange problem. In some of my scores the distance between note line and chord names differs from line to line. I´ve got a song with >3 lines. In line 2 the chord names are around 1mm farther away from the line. I will try to build a minimal example, because the songs I usually publish are not allowed to be sent here. Is this a known problem? I don´t know where I should start searching ... Dominic ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The LilyPond Report: a new weekly opinion column about Lily's world
Hi everybody, As you may already know, I am fond of starting little useless projects to promote LilyPond (perhaps you remember about some of them). Here's my last one (i don't know if I'll be able to maintain it, but it's just fun to launch it anyway): a "short informal, weekly opinion column about the LilyPond project; its team, its world, its community. It is not meant to be an exhaustive documentation resource. Reader comments are, of course, welcome." Its sole purpose is to be pleasant to read, entertaining -- and to make LilyPond look sexy. It's primarily intended for newbies, but I hope that anyone in the LilyPond community can be interested in reading it. I have named it "the LilyPond Report", but if anyone comes up with a better suggestion I won't object. I have put it on my personal website but it's not meant to be some self-advertising; if some of you guys (newbies, users, contributors etc) want to propose subjects, articles, ideas, stuff... host it anywhere else or even fork it, you are welcome. Here's the introduction of this week's issue, that presents some of the topics dealt with. Follow the link below it to see all of the sections I tried to propose. In this week's issue, I used some quotes from public mails, but also a couple of private ones. If any of the quoted persons wants his quote to be removed, just ask. %--- Welcome to this beta issue of the LilyPond Report! This issue is marked as "beta", numbered as #0, so you can just consider it as a proof of concept — which is why some of the sections below are not "implemented" yet. Likewise, not every section will be dealt with every week; I've just mentioned all of them here so you can know what to expect to (besides, upcoming issues will not be meant to be as long as today's). This week, we are going to have a look at some great websites that have inspired this Report, discuss the benefits of Free Software in education, see the advantages of multiplied durations in LilyPond, and briefly mention two "companion" projects of LilyPond: OrchestralLily and Julie. - To be continued on http://valentin.villenave.info/spip.php?article51 Cheers, Valentin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Dot Staccato x Slur
Hi Zenith,
Valentin's right that there's no bug here - the culprit in your file
is the rather innocent looking (but deadly) line \override Script
#'padding = #0 which you're using after tweaking the padding on the
fermatas.
Fermatas and staccato dots are both Script objects, so you need to be
careful when overriding properties. If you take a peek in your
LilyPond installation at the file
usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/script.scm, you'll find that the
default padding for script objects is 0.20 staff spaces, so you can
see why setting #'padding = #0 doesn't result in a return to the
default setting.
Since you only want the padding to apply to each fermata, you should
use \once with your override. I'd suggest reading through section
4.1.4, "Tweaking methods", in the Learning Manual if you're unsure
about the use of \override and \revert.
Here's your file with the corrections applied:
