Re: automatically place bars in a melody
Hi Graham,
thanks for your response,
> What doesn't work about it?
1. it doesn't fill the bar to it's full capacity, some 4/4 bars have only 3
quarter notes worth, some have more.
2. when splitting notes with ties, the remainder (in the next bar) is not
tied. that is:
with "Completion_heads_engraver":
\time 4/4
c4 c4 c2.~ c4
should produce: c4 c4 c2~ | c4~ c4 or even better: c4 c4 c2~ | c2
but it produces:
c4 c4 c2~ | c4 c4

I posted a bug report here:
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=606&start=200
is this fine? should I also post one in

by the way, if the \time expression in the previous program is replaced with

automatically place bars in a melody
Hello all,
I haven't used Lilypond so much so this might come up as obvious.I need
Lilypond to place bars in a melody, splicing durations so that:
A) it will fill the bar to it's full capacity and
B) it will split durations that exceed the size of the bar, so that they
retain the part that completes the bar and tie it to the remainder in the
next bar.
So, i have tried:
\new Voice \with {
\remove "Note_heads_engraver"
\consists "Completion_heads_engraver"
}
but it doesn't seem to make the job correctly. Any suggestions are welcome.
below is the code for a simple melody in which the present solution doesn't
work.

Reminder to Mats: Always check in LSR first! ;-)
Mats, Reinhold, can you give us some explanations about these
differences? Which one is the best? The simplest? The most reliable?
Should I edit the LSR snippet? Add a new snippet? etc.
The solution in LSR is more or less equivalent to Reinhold's proposal,
but is divided three separate functions instead of two, whereof two are
generic and can be used for any articulation.
However, it turns out that the solution shares the same problem as
Reinhold's solution, which you can see if you replace the score by
\score {
\relative c'' {
a b \addStacc { c, c } }
\layout{ ragged-right = ##t }
}
The same fix that I proposed can be used also here, i.e. to replace the
definition of add-script by
#(define (add-script m x)
(if
(equal? (ly:music-property m 'name) 'EventChord)
(set! (ly:music-property m 'elements)
(append (ly:music-property m 'elements)

Re: a snippet
As for problems, I went to the lilypond snippet database, and after logging in there was no "new entry" button, so that's as far as I got. As for a title, "2-staff choral template with lyrics centered and above and below each staff" I think expresses succinctly what it is. As for a description, "Occasionally it is necessary in a mostly homophonic choral work to have a section that is polyphonic in nature, at least, where the voices don't all sing the same text at the same for a portion. This snippet demonstrates how to have text centered between four voices on two staves, and then how to have each voice have its own text."

As a third option, here's my attempt at a universal command which will
automatically select the correct shapeNoteStyles for \sacredHarpHeads.
Since I've only just started getting the hang of coding in scheme,
there's probably room for improvement; I welcome any comments.
sacredHarps = \applyContext #(lambda (c)
(let* ((alts (ly:context-property c 'keySignature))
(tonic (ly:context-property c 'tonic)))
(if (ly:pitch? tonic)
(begin
(display tonic)
(let* ((third (modulo (+ 2 (ly:pitch-notename tonic)) 7))
(pitch (ly:make-pitch (ly:pitch-octave tonic) third (or
(ly:assoc-get third alts) NATURAL)))
(diff (- (ly:pitch-semitones pitch) (ly:pitch-semitones tonic
(display third)
(display diff)
(if (or (eqv? diff 4) (eqv? diff -8))
(ly:context-set-property! c 'shapeNoteStyles #(fa #f la fa
#f la mi))
(ly:context-set-property! c 'shapeNoteStyles #(la mi fa #f
la fa #f)))
)))
))
Basically, it tests for a major third by comparing the third degree
with the tonic, then sets the shapeNoteStyles based on the result (4
or -8 semitones for a major third, depending on the degree of the
scale).
There's a slight limitation in that if the key signature changes, the
function needs to be called again to pick up the mode and set the
correct note head styles.
Also, if there's no Staff context explicitly declared, the tonic is
undefined, so the shapeNoteStyles will not be set (I tried to include
a warning for this, but can't get round the problem of MIDI output,
since it junks the tonic, resulting in a warning whenever a midi {}
block is included).
Regards,
Neil

Hi Jon, If you've included "english.ly", you can't call G-sharp "gis"; either change it to "gs" or get rid of the include. :) Regards, Neil ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: baffling error message
Since you use \include "english.ly" you should use the English version of the note names, not the default Dutch ones, right? Try a "gs" instead of "gis". /Mats Jonathan Kulp wrote: I'm getting an error message that's driving me crazy: GNU LilyPond 2.11.44 Processing `merengue.ly' Parsing... merengue.ly:239:24: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING a,4-. g'-. a,-. gis'-. \ostinatoTwo % m. 11-12 merengue.ly:285:17: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING g4-. e-. gis-. e-. | \ostinatoFour | % m. 11-12 merengue.ly:327:3: error: errors found, ignoring music expression << % creates new grand staff error: failed files: "merengue.ly" This is an orchestral score, and the problems are coming in the 2nd violin and cello parts. So, the \ostinatoTwo and \ostinatoFour are user-defined commands and they seem to work fine--I don't think they're causing the trouble. The problem is the G-sharp in each case, I think. Something is getting triggered by the "gis'-." on line 239 and lin 285. I tried removing the articulations, changing from "gis" to "fis," or "cis", removing the ' and , and it still chokes on this part. BUT when I changed the "gis" to a "g" (natural), the problem goes away. It finishes parsing and creates a nice .pdf for me. When I extract the troublesome bit and run it as a separate file, it works fine also, with the g-sharps instead of naturals.

baffling error message
I'm getting an error message that's driving me crazy:
GNU LilyPond 2.11.44
Processing `merengue.ly'
Parsing...
merengue.ly:239:24: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
a,4-. g'-. a,-.
gis'-. \ostinatoTwo
% m. 11-12
merengue.ly:285:17: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING
g4-. e-.
gis-. e-. | \ostinatoFour |
% m. 11-12
merengue.ly:327:3: error: errors found, ignoring music
expression
<< % creates new grand staff
error: failed files: "merengue.ly"
This is an orchestral score, and the problems are coming in
the 2nd violin and cello parts. So, the \ostinatoTwo and
\ostinatoFour are user-defined commands and they seem to
work fine--I don't think they're causing the trouble. The
problem is the G-sharp in each case, I think. Something is
getting triggered by the "gis'-." on line 239 and lin 285.
I tried removing the articulations, changing from "gis" to
"fis," or "cis", removing the ' and , and it still chokes on
this part. BUT when I changed the "gis" to a "g" (natural),
the problem goes away. It finishes parsing and creates a
nice .pdf for me. When I extract the troublesome bit and
run it as a separate file, it works fine also, with the
g-sharps instead of naturals. I'll attach the orchestral
file and my extraction of the "trouble" spot if anyone
wants to take a run at this. I'm baffled. (I need
G-sharps!! :-)) The same problem occurs whether I run it on
2.10.33 or 2.11.44 (Linux in both cases). Thanks,
Jon

Many thanks, James! After adjusting the values a bit

a snippet
I wanted to submit a snippet for the LSR, but that didn't work out so
well for me, so I thought I would just put it here, it's the next best
thing, really. I needed a way to have in a choral piece a single line
of text for most of the work, and at the end, in the stretto, the
texts exploded to be above and below the staves. Here it is
sopranomusic = { c''4 b'4 c''4 \new Voice = "sopranoupper" {\voiceOne
d''4~ d''4 e''4 d''4 c''4} }
altomusic = { g'4 g'4 a'4 r4 \new Voice = "altolower" {\voiceTwo r4
c'4 f'4 g'4 } }
tenormusic = { e'4 d'4 c'4 r4 \new Voice = "tenorupper" {\voiceOne g4
a4 b4 c'4 } }
bassmusic = { c4 d4 d4 r4 \new Voice = "basslower" {\voiceTwo r2. c4 } }
choirtext = \lyricmode { In4 be4 -- tween4 }
sopranotext = \lyricmode { a -- bove this voice }
altotext = \lyricmode { be -- low voice }
tenortext = \lyricmode { a -- bove this voice }
basstext = \lyricmode { voice }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = women <<
\new Voice = "soprano" {\voiceOne \sopranomusic}
\new Voice = "alto" {\voiceTwo \altomusic}
>>
\context Lyrics \choirtext
\new Staff = men << \clef bass
\new Voice = "tenor" {\voiceOne \tenormusic}
\new Voice = "bass" {\voiceTwo \bassmusic}
>>
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext=women} \lyricsto sopranoupper
\sopranotext
\new Lyrics \with {alignBelowContext=women} \lyricsto altolower
\altotext
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext=men} \lyricsto tenorupper
\tenortext
\new Lyrics \with {alignBelowContext=men} \lyricsto basslower
\basstext
>>
}
I hope it helps someone in the future. (at the very least me, when I
forget how to do this and I need to again.

Re: scheme function for staccato
It seems that the articulation event has to be added after the note
event in order not to confuse
\relative. The following modification of Reinhold's code seems to work
better.
% To modify a sequence of notes, it's easiest to use a filter:
#(define (addStaccatoFilterFunction event)
(let ( (eventname (ly:music-property event 'name)) )
(if (eq? eventname 'EventChord)
(let ( (elements (ly:music-property event 'elements)) )
; don't add staccato to rests!
(if (not (eq? (ly:music-property (car elements) 'name) 'RestEvent))
(set! (ly:music-property event 'elements)
(append elements (list (make-music 'ArticulationEvent
'articulation-type "staccato"))
))
)
addStaccato = #(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
(music-filter addStaccatoFilterFunction music)
)
For some reason it also works if you use Reinhold's code with
\addStaccato { \relative { ... }}
instead of
\relative { \addStaccato {...}}

Dear Reinhold,
many thanks for Your very usefull plugin. It works fine!
But there is one thing in the below quoted example I don't understand
: Why is the second g in the first measure an octave lower?
I'm sure, I don't see something, which is quite obvious, but I have
no idea.
