You read LM 3 in the 2.11 docs.  This precise example is
discussed in 3.4.

Create a new \score block for each arrangement you want to have, with
a \pageBreak at the end.

So:

\score {
<<
\context Staff \flutepart
\context ChordNames { 
\set chordChanges = ##t
\guitarChords \pageBreak
}
>>
}

\score {
<<
\context Staff \guitarPart
\context ChordNames { 
\set chordChanges = ##t
\guitarChord \pageBreak
}
>>
}

\score {
<<
\context ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t
\guitarChords
}
\context Staff \context Voice = "one" {
\autoBeamOff
\verseMelody
}
\context Lyrics \lyricsto "one" \verseWords
>>
}

A new melody with existing chords

2008-07-31 Thread Thermo

I have a one page lyrics, melody and chords lilypond format file.

Now I would like to add a flute melody over the same chords on a new page,
then add a guitar melody over the same chord structure. So it is basically
one page for the words one for the flute one for the guitar.

How do I do that?

Thanks

I would be very interested in an option to suppress accidentals when notes are
tied over line breaks.
Since lilypond's current behavior in this regard is not a bug, is there some
place to post a feature request for suppressing accidentals in this case?

On a related note, how complex is the process of fixing the tie & time signature
collision bug?  How does one go about sponsoring a fix like this?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Re: headers and spacing

2008-07-31 Thread Herbert Niemeyer
In my first answer I assumed 3 columns as header: Page#, Title, Author 
with no distinction between odd and even pages. (Since I have 3 columns 
I don't need the extra " "...)
Now, let me assume that you need the Page# altering, and the myTitle 
(1st row) with the myInstrument in a second row, but both myTitle and 
myInstrument centered. And yes, in this case you need the extra " ". 
Please try the following. If that doesn't do what you want, please let 
me know what spacing is fouled.

...when I use this the spacing gets fouled a bit...

Snippet:
   myTitle = "Title"
   myInstrument = "a instrument"
   oddHeaderMarkup = \markup
   \fill-line {
   " "
   \on-the-fly #not-first-page {\center-align {\myTitle \tiny 
\myInstrument}}
   \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string

   }
   evenHeaderMarkup = \markup
   \fill-line {
   \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty 
#'page:page-number-string
   \on-the-fly #not-first-page {\center-align {\myTitle \tiny 
\myInstrument}}

   " "

Re: ove to ly

2008-07-31 Thread David Bobroff
I don't know of an Overture to LilyPond conversion filter.  There are a 
number of converters from other formats to LilyPond.  See here:


http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Converting-from-other-formats#Converting-from-other-formats

If you can get from Overture to one of those formats you might be able 
to save yourself some typing.

That´s really ugly and I hope to find a way to solve it. Without that
problem the chant results are considerable - maybe because I don´t
have difficult constructs to typeset. Unaesthetic source code is
annoying, but unaesthetic output is unacceptable ...

You´re right with the default time signature working inside. I tried
to fight it with the same weapons: I´ve set \time 1/4 at the beginning
and so I don´t have to type many times \bar "" and this really works
well!

Re: Tie control-points delete another tie

2008-07-31 Thread Trevor Daniels


Marco

It seems that the \tweak approach modifies the
properties of all notes in a chord correctly
except for the 'control-points property.  As
you might have seen on the -bug list, I'm
suggesting this is a bug.  We await a response.

Sorry this is not more helpful :(

Thank you, Trevor.

On the other hand, why cannot I modify the tie in the second voice (I 
can, but I have to swap the voices)?


\new Staff <<
 \key f \major \time 6/8
 \new Voice {
   \voiceOne
   \relative c' {
 4.
 4 8
 4.
 4 8
   }
 }
 \new Voice {
   \voiceTwo
   \relative c'' {
 a8 a16 a a8 a a a
 a8 a16 a a8 a a a
   }
 }




Best regards,

Marco
