Re: Flag grouping
Danny,
Try not to get in the habit of doubting LilyPond!
It can do so many things that most of don't realize.
And if there's something LilyPond should do that it
really can't, post a feature-request to the
lilypond-devel mailing list. And if the docs are too
confusing, or they fail to answer your question,
posting a question to the mailing list is always
a good idea.
The answer to your question is here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Setting-automatic-beam-behavior#Setting-automatic-beam-behavior
specific reference is made to scm/auto-beam.scm
On Windows, the directory tree for the scm folder is:
LilyPond\usr\share\lilypond\current\scm
Here's one possible solution.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Re: Piano staff, single staff polyphony and lyrics
PNG image attached. This shows the default behavior when the slur is
specifically positioned on the stem side, then there's a manually
positioned slur showing more what it ought to look like, and finally
another slur showing the default behavior when there are more than two
notes being slurred together (this already looks good IMO, and the
default for when there are only two notes ought to look more like this.
Here's the code:
\version 2.11.61
\relative c' {
% default, when slur is forced to stem side
c^( d)
% positioned manually
\once \override Slur #'positions = #'(0.8 . 1.2)

flag grouping
Hi! I'm new to lilypond and I have my first doubt about the using it.
The tutorial has been very helpful and I've been able to do most of my first
project without problems.
What I am unable to do so far is change the grouping of flags.
in 6/8 time for example, is there a way to change the grouping of 8th notes
from two groups of three to three groups of two? how about one big group of
six?
The piece I am trying to typeset at the moment starts with a 5 note scale
pattern as an anacrusis on the soprano line:
\relative c'' {
\time 6/8
\partial 8*5
\key e \minor
\stemUp
b8 c d e fis |
}
The original score has that pickup as a big group of five 8th notes, and at
often times has full bars as one big group of six.
By default, lilypond sorts the notes into two groups, one of two 8th notes
and one of three 8th notes. Please teach me how to change that.
Thank you very much for your time!

The problem is that the PianoStaff context does not accept a Lyrics

change the PianoStaff line to:

Re: WANTED: Design for documentation (Photoshop power users!)
Me answering Rheinhold: The pale yellow/light brown would make the navbars almost invisible on TFT screens, so I think the current state is much better. ... So what/where is the current state? Sorry, I got mixed up; I thought this meant the navbars would disappear. But now I think it means they would still be legible (and could be used) but the cohesion provided by their background would be lost. Patrick McCarty wrote: In the case where the vertical scrollbar is visible for the TOC pane, using a white background would be fine. But for a page like [1], the TOC pane would no longer appear to be a pane, and I would argue for using color to indicate its separation (as it currently is). [1] http://kainhofer.com/~lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/index.html Yes, I wasn't proposing white; that was just an intermediate stage in the argument. But this is a good answer for Patrick H. Well, fairly good. If the backgound difference can become almost invisible then the separation will surely be lost in this case too. But I suppose secondary clues (like placement) help out a bit. I wanted to see what almost invisible meant and tried this out (with IE6) on some flat screens. Navbars very visible on a BenQ monitor and an Inspiron laptop, both 2006. I could see the effect an a low-end 1998 laptop, but was a lot more bothered by other presentation problems, like text size versus screen size. Things were squeezed together too much; colour wouldn't have unjumbled it. The navbars have their own secondary clues (like brackety buttons and the grouped layout) so you would hardly mistake them for normal text. But a backgound is helpful for recognition, e.g. when a scrolling moves a navbar back into view. So: navbars same hue as TOC, but (only) slightly denser. Me, toeing my line. :) Cheers, Robin ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Try modifying the following lines like this:
sopraano = \relative c'' \context Voice = sopraano {
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sopraano \sanat
(and of course Trevor's \accept trick.)
This creates a voice context to which you can attach the lyrics.
Just out of curiosity... Are you using PianoStaff for music with
lyrics in purpose instead of e.g. ChoirStaff?

You can do this quite easily.
You need to remember that \chords is a shortcut for
\new ChordNames { \chordmode { }}
All you need to do is redefine the defaults for the ChordNames context.
The details for doing this are explained in the 2.11 documentation, section
5.1.4 Changing context default settings
Once you have this done, perhaps you could post the results to
the LilyPond Snippet Repository.

Re: Piano staff, single staff polyphony and lyrics
Note that the requested feature rather was to have a property setting that lets you specify explicitly if you want the slur close to the note head or close to the end of the stem, as we used to have in old LilyPond versions, where you could do something like \override Slur #'attachment = #'(stem . stem) see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.0/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond-internals/Slur.html#Slur for the full documentation. The reply Han-Wen gave at that time, when the same feature request appeared, was that the new algorithm was intended to automatically do the right thing much more often than it used to do earlier and therefore the feature wasn't added immediately in the new implementation. I think we now have reason to reintroduce the feature. /Mats Werner LEMBERG wrote: To make sure that I don't misunderstand, does #'(2 . 2.5) mean that the hight of the start and end points of the slur should be set manually (in some units) for every slur?

Re: WANTED: Design for documentation (Photoshop power users!)
Patrick McCarty wrote: I agree with yours and Reinhold's idea to remove underlining and visited link colors in the TOC pane. Should the same apply to the main doc pane? NAV BAR What I said about TOC scanning doesn't apply here; there is no list. There are probably two main sorts of usages: - very quick, where you are only concerned with the direction to step in. - slowish, where you read some of the names. Within the 2 * 3 grouping there is a semantic synergy e.g. the upper [ reinforces the lower [ (and vice versa) and symmetry of [ and ] reinforces their opposition. This effect makes selection for stepping easier. But when visited colours just the bottom row or just one side, the 2 * 3 is fractured, and you have to look twice. [1] Otherwise it is just mottled and vaguely confusing. Slowish is even slower. The previous/next section buttons are the best candidates for visited, but it is precisely these buttons which will devalue this. See below. LANG BAR A language link will rarely indicate visited, and when it does, it is of no import (breadcrumbs unchanged). FOOTER These are exits, so who cares? MAIN TEXT If there were only long text passages containing a few embedded links, then feel free to colour them visited. But it is mostly not like that: The links tend to be grouped into lists such as - mini-TOCs - References for - See also. Some of these lists have only one or two entries. But there is a very wide range: e.g. music-event or grob! I think the longish lists should not be mottled. CONCLUSION. Most of the above tends towards no visited colouring. And repeated consultations devalue visited here too. [2] And maybe another effect will be even more important: the navbar makes it so easy to page through the document. This browsing mode will be popular with those - who don't know what key to search for, or - who like navigating by png instead of navigating by title. You stride down the corridor glancing in through the half-open doors. So my answer is yes; apply these changes to the main pane too.

BTW: Does anyone know the latex-package layouts (as introduced in the
latex companion)? It renders the layout of a page with all properties

awful for lilypond. I always feel like groping in the dark with all
those properties and spacing etc.
I'm guessing someone else already replied to this, but if not:
\paper { annotate-spacing = ##t }
does what you want, I think.

Re: Piano staff, single staff polyphony and lyrics

Terve Ari,
2008/10/8 Ari Torhamo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
It works, it works! Now I can get forward with what I'm doing :-)
One more thing. I tried to add \lyricsto to the line above, but this
caused an error message. I'm trying to align the lyrics to the melody,
so that it wouldn't be necessary to add the durations by hand. Is there
a way to get this to work with the structure I'm using?
Try modifying the following lines like this:
sopraano = \relative c'' \context Voice = sopraano {
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sopraano \sanat
(and of course Trevor's \accept trick.)
This creates a voice context to which you can attach the lyrics.
Your advice worked, so I'm again one step closer to the goal :-) Your
wording This creates a voice context to which you can attach the
lyrics also helped me understand what I'm doing and why.
The solution also caused a problem though. Some stems of the upper voice
on the upper staff were changed to wrong direction, eg. down. Any ideas
what might have caused this? I tried to move some items around in the
code, but could only make things worse.
Here's how the code looks at the moment:
...
\version 2.11.61
\paper { indent=0\cm }
\header { title = Ylistysveisu }
sopraano = \relative c'' \context Voice = sopraano {
\key g \major
\cadenzaOn
g4( a b) b a2 gis
\bar |
a4 b c b a gis a1
\bar | \break
b2 a a a4( gis) a b c2( b) a2. b4\rest
\bar | \break
}
altto = \relative c' {
d2( g4) g e2 e
e4 g g g e e e1
e2 e e e e4 g g1 e2.
}
tenori = \relative c' {
\clef bass
\key g \major
b4( c d) d c2 b
c4 d e d c b c1
d2 c c c4( b) c d e2( d) c2.
}
basso = \relative c' {
g2. g4 a2 e
a4 g c, g' a e a a,1
gis gis,2 a a, a a, a a,4( e) a g c,2( g') a2. d,4\rest
}
sanat = \lyricmode { Y -- lis -- täm- me
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with { \accepts Lyrics }
\new Staff
{ \sopraano } \\
{ \altto }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto sopraano { \sanat }
\new Staff
{ \tenori } \\
{ \basso }
}
Just out of curiosity... Are you using PianoStaff for music with
lyrics in purpose instead of e.g. ChoirStaff?
The reason to use PianoStaff is to get the staves to start with braces
instead of brackets, nothing else (or at least I'm not aware of
anything else that I could achieve by using it). I discussed the
brace/bracket matter today, and the idea to use braces comes from the
fact that many older music books of the area of music in question use
braces instead of brackets. If braces are difficult to implement, using
brackets isn't ruled out. They have been used along with braces. I'm more the
technical guy here (yes, really :-) helping
another person to start using Lilypond, so to know what the result
should look like I either have to look at the examples I have at hand, or ask
the the person I'm teaching.
Thanks for your help :-)
Ari
