The snippet 204 doesn't work very well with 2.11 because it uses

I think there's another drawback of the snippet.
I had a very similar problem, trying to add marks like "Moderato (* =
63)", yet using rehearsal marks at the same time for sectioning the piece.
Problem is, Lily can't handle two RehearsalMark events on the same beat
(don't know whether there's a workaround), so I wanted to use
MetronomeMarks. Here's my snippet to do so; I suspect it should be
fairly straightforward to modify to mimic the rhythmMark behaviour.
Additionally, it might help some of you figuring out how a markup is
used as a stencil; especially when you want to add parameters on every
call and need to currify (right?) your markup function. It took me a
while since I'm not familiar with Scheme...
Of course it would be nice if the \tempo command would be run directly
in \tempoChangeMarkup; however I'm running into type problems here.
Is it possible to convert string->duration via Scheme? Else I always had
to type
\tempoChangeMarkup #"foo" #(make-duration 4) #"120"
or am I wrong there? And is this:

Debugging techniques are in LM 5.something, while more discussion
about file structure is in LM 3.something.
I guarentee that if you follow the instructions in LM 5.whatever,
you'll discover the problem.

Doing a quick search with google I find the following title of this song: Dich loben deine Werke, du ewig reicher Gott which is a text written by Arno Pötzsch. I can also find a citation from a (copyrighted) theological book: ... als ewig reicher Gott ist er sozusagen in sich selber narrativ; und das Evangelium erweist sich aus seiner eigenen Substanz heraus immer wieder neu ...

Re: OFF: Help from native English speakers (epsecially if speaking German)
"Choralsatz" can come across just fine like that: "chorale setting" or "hymn setting". As for the other two, what are the sources of the text? Are they preexisting texts? Or original texts in German (or Hungarian)? If the texts are preexisting, best would be to find a traditional English edition of the texts and use that. If the texts are original, on the other hand, then you have plenty of choices for either phrase, depending on the style you want.

Trevor D - Original Message - From: "Levi Hendricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 6:38 PM Subject: other suggestions Trevor, I have some more suggestions for when the "rhythmic music" (7.4) section of the manual gets updated. Section 7.4.1 shows a drum roll being done in a RhythmicStaff on melodic note outside of drummode (in other words it on a g not on a sn or bd). Even though the example provides enough clues, it doesn't explicitly talk about creating drum rolls. The suffix used is ":" with a value behind it ( in context g1:32 created a whole note roll). I searched the chapters for the ":" suffix, and with the exception of bar lines i can't find its use. I even looked through the command index. I would suggest adding some explicit instructions for drum rolls in future manual editions. Also, sticking is just as important for a percussionist as fingering is for piano player. I understand how to use a -4 suffix to add a fingering to a note, but I have not had success with this in drummode. Also, even being able to do this wouldn't be so helpful as it would be best to be able to put capitol "R" and "L" above notes to indicate right or left hand. Again I was able to make an "L" appear as a fingering in a regular line of music, but the "R" was complied as a multiple measure rest, and even at that I could not associate an "L" with a note in drummode for some reason. If this feature is available there should be documentation in section 7.4 on it for future manuals, and if it is not available, it should be proposed to be added. Hope this helps ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Specifically, 5.5.3 "Explicit staff and system positioning" will give you a way to force exactly the same distance between staves within a system (using alignment-offsets); you can set alignment-offsets one time globally for the entire score, which is nice. 5.5.3 also talks about setting the X-offset subpart of the line-break-system-details group of settings. You can manually set this value at each line break and that will force systems to start at precisely specified distances down the page. This will indeed allow you to have systems line up *exactly* evenly across different pieces of paper. When I do this I write a script to insert all such overrides automatically; I'm not sure if there's a way to say the following: "On each page: system 1 starts 20 units down the page; system 2 starts 80 units down the page; system 3 starts 115 units down the page; and system 4 starts 153 units down the page." Maybe a superguru can figure out a way to make that incantation a single time globally for the entire score. But for my part, I simply insert line-break-system-details with X-offset commands at each line break to ensure absolute control of vertical positioning. Hope this helps a little.

Filename output numbering

My image viewer is seeing page 10 of my score before I get to page 1. Then when I get to page 9 I've got to back up and find page 10. Is there a way to control output filenames?

Running LilyPond from a memory stick
Greetings - Has anyone been able to run LilyPond from/on a memory stick? I have a 16 Gb stick, and I'd like to run LilyPond from it, but I don't know what problems I'm likely to encounter. The computers I plan to use both run Windows XP SP2. The stick is set up to run programs, but it looks for U3 package files (*.u3p). Has anyone built .u3p files for LilyPond? Alternatively, anyone know what files and/or directories would have to be mounted on the memory stick?

Re: OFF: Help from native English speakers (epsecially if speaking German)
ok, just my guesses... sometimes, we will just call 4 voice arrangements "SATB music", for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. we might call a pleading, begging prayer "earnest prayer" we might say "omnipotent God" for the last one.

Staff regular layout
Hi, I cannot find in the documentation whether it is possible to have staves layout identically on all pages (matching side to side). For example, in my problem the optimal spacing found by Lilypond (2.11) is 5 staves in the 1st page, 4 in the second, 5 in the 3rd, 3 in the last. In the second page, the 4 systems are evenly spaced, which looks very large compared to others. I would not like to set ragged-bottom for all pages. Imposing the number of staves per page does not look nice (17 is 4+4+4+4+1 or 5+5+2). My ideal solution would be to enlarge the title area to have 4 + 5 + 5 + 3 staves, all matching side by side, that is the 1st on the 1st page being at the same height that the 2nd on the 2nd page (the title facing the 1st staff of the 2nd page). And the last page would be "ragged-bottomed" but still obeing the same vertical spacing. Can I do this without having to find by hand empirically the exact title size and between-system distance? Can I tell the layout to match staves on all pages when put side to side? (It seems that currently, staff layout is done page by page independently after finding the number of staves on each page.) I found nothing on Documentation section 5.1.2 "Page formatting", neither on the Score context and NonMusicalPaperColumn (following the LSR's "PageLayout" advice).

No, I was referring to e.g. notated a8. a16, which should, if I remember correctly, be interpreted more like a8.. a32 (in the french style). The editor might want to show that rythmic figure above the staff as an hint to performers. But it would be good to have some ly code to make your example also.

Re: Extracting only lyrics and chords
You may want to have a look at an old post about

Creating a nice formatted Chords + Lyrics layout for guitar players .
Look especially at the layout part, which will render the staff invisble,
but keep the lyrics and chords visible:
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Mark_engraver"
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
\remove "Metronome_mark_engraver"
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
%\remove "Spacing_engraver"
% Remove all-rest staves also in the first system
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
\context {
\Staff
\remove "Staff_symbol_engraver"
}
\context {
% add the RemoveEmptyStaffContext that erases rest-only staves
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
}
}
I hope this may be a start.
If you find anything else, share it in this thread as well.
