choral sample

2008-09-24 Thread Laura Harvey
Hi - I just downloaded lilypond recently, and am interested in trying out a 
choral piece. I'm confused about the set-up, though, and none of the samples 
that you have on your documentation are specifically for choral works. Do you 
have one handy with one or 2 choral parts (separate staves) AND piano?

 TIA for any hints how to improve that.

A solution would be to tweak your title markup to give it some
padding; have a look at the padding commands described on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Graphic-notation-inside-markup

Another solution is to include a spacer in your markup, such as
\center-column { \hspace #0 \hspace #0 My title}

If you're looking for a more elegant way, Nicolas Sceaux has a nice
\vspace function in his scores, which you can see on
http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/

If you have many pieces in your \book, you can also tweak the default
layout for piece titles as described here:

Printing problem with Evince

2008-09-24 Thread Johan Vromans
I noticed that Evince (I have Fedora 8 with Evince 2.20.2) does a
lousy job on printing LilyPond scores. It may do a bad job on other
prints as well, but the effect on LilyPond scores is dramatic.

See for yourself: http://www.squirrel.nl/pub/xfer/lpev.png .

Image left is scanned from a print by Acrobat, the image right is a
scan from a print produced by Evince. Both programs printed to the
same 600dpi HP Laserjet which involves a Ghostscript filter.

This may be a known issue, though I could not find any references to

Huh? No problems with the latter one here; by now, I only start the
Adobe reader for presentations on my Mac (Leopard). Preview is just
/way/ faster.

On the other hand, I have a printer employing built-in PostScript
support (which I, by the way, really recommend for anyone not using
Windows exclusively; though you sometimes have to wait for complicated
vector drawings, unless you're investing a good amount of money).
But also the on-screen rendering of both PDF and PostScript looks
absolutely fine even at extreme zoom levels---lines and rounded boxes as
well as fonts---, so it might be a problem with your printer driver on Mac?

AFAICS (and you can see it on my example pics too) this has nothing to

Removing bundled LilyPond

2008-09-24 Thread notesetter

I'd like to remove LilyPond 2.10.33, which came bundled with Ubuntu Studio
8.04 and then install 2.11.59. I ran the install shell script and 2.11.59
installed in my home directory fine. However, when I go to use it, the
'lilypond' command still invokes version 2.10.33. I started to remove the
old version through synaptic, but it also tries to remove other packages
that I want to keep like rosegarden and some others that I think I shouldn't
remove.

This appears to present me 3 options:

1) Install 2.11.59 via shell script and alter my system so that the command
'lilypond' points to the new installation in my home directory.

2) Uninstall the packages lilypond, rosegarden, ubuntu-studio audio and the
others it synaptic says I have to remove if I remove LilyPond so that I may
install and use 2.11.59.

3) Continue to use version 2.10.33.

The first option seems workable, if there's a way to do it. The latter two
options are really not viable, since I may want to use Rosegarden in the
future and I would like to take advantage of the newer version of LilyPond.
Are there other options that I'm missing? Is there a more correct way to
go about this?

Also, someone on the Ubuntu Studio user list mentioned making a .deb package
for LilyPond that would presumably solve this problem. I've also asked about
that in the past on this forum. It would be convenient if one could install
LilyPond through a package manager like a lot of other Debian/Ubuntu
applications. If I have the time (and I think I do), I would be willing to
learn to do this work myself, provided it's within my limited (but hopefully
expaning) scope. I would probably only commit to making a package for stable
releases though.

Does anyone else think this is a good idea?

Thanks,

Dave

 [...]

Usually it is sufficient to rename the old executable and point a
symbolic link to the new one; say you installed the recent version in
/home/johndoe/bin/lilypond/, and the default choice is in /usr/bin/,
then you have do
mv /usr/bin/lilypond /usr/bin/lilypond-2.10.33
ln -s /home/johndoe/bin/lilypond/lilypond /usr/bin/lilypond
and every invocation of what was known as /usr/bin/lilypond is
redirected to use the new application.
However, this assumes you can write on /usr/bin/. Since you seem to be
talking about your own machine, this won't be a problem, otherwise the
only advisable way is altering the default path settings for your
environment to check /home/johndoe/bin/lilypond/ first. The way for this
depends on your favorite shell and/or editor, and the settings will
apply to this environment only. (This is Graham's solution posted a few
minutes ago. Anyway, this may help with other applications, too.)

On the other hand, I'm not absolutely sure whether lilypond requires
additional paths for, say, scheme scripts or other input files to be
set; it's been a while since I did that last time on a linux box. In
this case, Graham's approach is the Good Thing to do.


 Also, someone on the Ubuntu Studio user list mentioned making a .deb package

 releases though.
Actually, 2.10.33 /is/ the recent stable release, so your Ubuntu is
perfectly up to date. For Debian (Maybe Ubuntu too? Never bothered)
there is a testing repository, where prerelease versions can be found
and installed via the package managers.
Anyway, packaging is not an easy process in general; you have to check
back several dependencies and possible complications with other packages
and system settings. A recent thread showed that the LilyPond people are
not even absolutely clear on whether it actually needs a LaTeX
distribution or not...
And since to don't even have to compile from source, I guess you can
calmly use the installer and leave packaging to the maintainers of the
distributions for a while.

First, type the command for uninstall. It'll ask you to press enter to

When I do this, I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/local//bin/uninstall-lilypond

But, since I think there was an extra '/' between 'local' and 'bin',

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /usr/local/bin/uninstall-lilypond
sudo: /usr/local/bin/uninstall-lilypond: command not found

I think the Ubuntu Studio team left out the uninstall script, probably

Re: Printing problem with Evince

2008-09-24 Thread Jonathan Kulp
Hmm.  I changed the print driver to a ps one.  That driver wasn't 
available when I was using the cups interface to hook up to the 
printer--very limited options for drivers on Mac's cups system--but once 
the printer was installed that way I was able to reconfigure using the 
regular OSX interface.  I printed a page from Preview and it looks 
great.  :)


I know I was using a ps driver when I got fuzzy edges, though, because I 
printed an orchestral score on 11x17 paper, and I'm certain that I set 
that printer up using a ps driver--it's the only one in our dept. that 
handles 11x17 paper, and I always set it up with care.  I don't even 
recall now whether I was using Preview or Acrobat when I printed the big 
score, but you can see all kinds of fuzzy edges if you look closely. 
Maybe I need to specify a higher resolution when running Lilypond on 
this file?  The global staff size is set to 16.  Do you think this is 
why it could be printing with fuzzy edges?  Doesn't seem likely but I 
suppose it's possible...

This is not to be recommended as it interferes with the distribution's

 Maybe I need to specify a higher resolution when running Lilypond on
 this file?  The global staff size is set to 16.  Do you think this is
 why it could be printing with fuzzy edges?  Doesn't seem likely but I
 suppose it's possible...
First, as far as I know there is no way to set the resolution for PDF or
PostScript output. On the other hand, this is because it does not matter
for vector drawings (which are used by LilyPond) anyway. IIRC, PDF uses
like 32bit resolution on the positioning and size of objects, and this
exceeds by far what you're able to distinguish on a printout.
If there's a single program on this planet allowing you to get the
correct view at a high zoom level from the document, it's up to the
printing driver or rendering engine of your viewer.

Generally, you only have to bother with resolution settings unless you
have any rasterized part in your output (embedded PNG or something).

Re: Printing problem with Evince

Well, I've figured out my problem on Mac, anyway.  I had the same 
printer installed twice but with different drivers (one bad) and I had 
chosen the wrong instance from the dropdown menu.  I've deleted the bad 
one and now printouts look lovely from either Preview or Acrobat. :)

Yes, because if something was installed by the package manager, it has
to be uninstalled via the same means -- otherwise your package manager's

 I think I'll try Graham's solution. Thanks for the speedy response.

I have been considering in the back of my mind whether it might be nice
to set up Launchpad PPA's to offer Ubuntu/Debian packages of the latest
stable and development Lilypond.  Since I've also never been involved in

 By '$HOME', I assume you mean the path of my local home directory. By 
 the way, what is my $PATH? Where do I find it and how may I alter it? 

HOME and PATH are so-called environment variables.
You can change them in the initialization files of your shell (command-line
interpreter).  Which file depends on which shell you use: Try the command
echo $SHELL to find out.

If it is bash, you can add something like the following lines in the
.bash_profile file in your home directory [1]:

#---CUT---
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
PATH=~/bin:${PATH}
fi
#---CUT---

notehead offsets in single-staff polyphony

2008-09-24 Thread Mike Blackstock

Guitar music has a lot of this stuff:

\relative c' {
 
   {g'16 d' b d}
   \\
   {g,4}
 
}

where the G in the top part lines up with the G in the bottom and they 
share the same notehead;  exactly as expected and wanted.


However in this:

\relative c' {
\time 3/8
 
   {g'8 b d}
   \\
   {g,4.}
 
}

the dotted-quarter in the bottom is offset to the right, 
counter-intuitively (to me at least)


In the past I've worked around it with this:

\relative c' {
\time 3/8
 
   {g'8 b d}
   \\
\override NoteHead #'X-offset = #-1.6  
\override Stem #'X-offset = #-1.6

   {g,4.}
 
}

but then i have to keep switching back with \revert NoteHead #'X-offset 
\revert Stem #'X-offset plus I'm just eyeballing and guessing at a good 
offset value .


This can't be the right approach. Is there something in the manual I've 
missed?  And how come the different behavior in the 2 examples?


Thanks. - PS the quickest way to visualize the above is at

Good idea, one always trends to print from the same app he is viewing
the document on, but if you have launched the viewer from command
line, printing from command line as well is even faster. I continue
using evince as gnome standard viewer in Ubuntu, but have tried lp

Yes, for a sempre pp that's what both an old engraving from 189x and one 
from 1996 do. Actually, one instrument has a p and all others have sempre 
pp. The p and pp are aligned with each other.

 not the italic-text, but intuitively that seems 
 wrong to me. Perhaps it depends on the specific circumstance, but I'm
 thinking of something like poco a poco più f. As a musician, I'd
 start poco a poco-ing as soon as the first word starts -- I wouldn't
 wait till the f. 

True, but then poco a poco is probably a bad example, as for me the poco a 
poco-ing starts with the text, so you definitely shouldn't align the f on 
the note (since the f does not affect the note, but it gradually evolved a 
few notes later)
Imagine a subito pp. If you are sight-reading such a mark, it's really easy 
to miss the fact that the pp should start immedately at the spot 
where subito is placed.

 That said, I wonder what the treatises have to say 
 on the topic (eg. Gardner Read etc.).

Gardner Read is quiet on such dynamics with additional comments. However, 
here's what he says in general about dynamic markings (p.252):
In general, dynamic marks should be placed //as close as possible// to the 
notes they affect -- if this position is consistent with over-all visual 
clarity.

Just my 2¢ as a composer (and obsessive-compulsive engraver):

Whenever possible, I use (e.g.) pp sempre instead of sempre pp —  
that way, the left edge of the dynamic itself (as opposed to the  
modifier) can be aligned with the beat it belongs to, and the  
modifier trails into the music it belongs to. I find it's more  
consistent, easier to sight-read, and takes away one more decision in  
the engraving process.

I'd like to remove LilyPond 2.10.33, which came bundled with Ubuntu Studio
8.04 and then install 2.11.59. I ran the install shell script and 2.11.59
installed in my home directory fine. However, when I go to use it, the
'lilypond' command still invokes version 2.10.33. I started to remove the
old version through synaptic, but it also tries to remove other packages
that I want to keep like rosegarden and some others that I think I
shouldn't remove.

This appears to present me 3 options:

1) Install 2.11.59 via shell script and alter my system so that the command
'lilypond' points to the new installation in my home directory.



That's what I do when compiling the git version:

- -) In ~/.bashrc add ~/.bin or ~/bin (or whatever you prefer for your 
user-owned scripts) to the path:

   export PATH=~/.bin:$PATH
- -) In that directory, create an executable file lilypond with the contents:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat ~/.bin/lilypond
#!/bin/sh
exec ~/lilypond/lilypond/out/bin/lilypond --relocate $@


I suppose the lilypond installation already takes care of the second thing, so 
all you need to do is to properly prepend the path to the PATH shell 
variable. Note that the order is important, so you have to prepend the ~/.bin 
(like you see above). In contrast, if you use PATH=$PATH:~/.bin, then the 
shell will look into the system-wide pathes first and again find the 
installed 2.10 before your self-installed 2.11 version.

Well, I was all geared up to try one of these modifications to the 
.bashrc file when I mistyped and messed up my $PATH. To make a long 
story short, I fixed the .bashrc file but in the process, I discovered 
something:


When I used the 2.11.59 install shell script, and then logged off and 
logged in again to test the new $PATH (and found that I had fouled it up 
with a typo); after restoring the original .bashrc file and then 
entering 'lilypond -v' just to check that my $PATH was fixed, it 
returned version 2.11.59. So I uninstalled it, logged off and then on 
again and entered 'lilypond -v' once again, which returned version 
2.10.33. I then ran the install shell script again, logged off and 
logged on, entered 'lilypond -v' again and this time it returned version 
2.11.59. Keep in mind, I've made no changes to .bashrc or my $PATH.


Conclusion: I needed only to log off and back on after installing the 
new version in order to call it from the command line. Ubuntu Studio 
Hardy or LilyPond made the necessary adjustments to invoke the new 
version of LilyPond. Version 2.10.33 is still installed, and if I want 
to revert, all I have to do is run the uninstall-lilypond script to 
remove 2.11.59.


I hope this saves others from this particular sequence of events. Thanks 
to all for your thoughtful replies. I'm absorbing your comments and 
suggestions for future use.



Peace,

Dave

Re: -dpreview without headers

2008-09-24 Thread Roman Stawski
 When running lilypond with the switches

 -dpreview -dno-print-pages

 is there any way to stop the page headers printing from the command
 line, so that I just get the first line of music?
OK, -dhelp lists the solution.

-dpreview -dno-print-pages -dno-include-book-title-preview

Ubuntu install of Lilypond

2008-09-24 Thread George_

Hi guys (again...)

I tried to fix the augmentation-dots-on-lines problem by upgrading lilypond,
a la http://www.archivum.info/lilypond-user@gnu.org/2008-08/msg00725.html. I
uninstalled Lilypond ok, but when I go to execute the .sh script and type in
sudo sh lilypond-2.11.59-1.linux-x86.sh, the terminal comes up with sh:
Can't open lilypond-2.11.59-1.linux-x86.sh...

What do I do now? Seeing as I uninstalled my older version before trying to
install this one, until I get this fixed I don't actually have a working
version of Lilypond on my system.

Thanks

George
