Removing bundled LilyPond
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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

notehead offsets in single-staff polyphony
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?

Compiling with lilypond generates soprano, alto, tenor, and bass parts, a choral part, a piano reduction part, and various midi parts so people can listen to their part.

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.

Hi all, The one tricky thing is the horizontal placement: for things like mf dolce, I wanted the mf aligned with the notehead.

Actually, one instrument has a p and all others have sempre pp. The p and pp are aligned with each other. 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. 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. Precisely. HTH!

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.

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.
