Re: invisible slurs in tablature

If I understand correctly, you have a group of interested users who are
working on defining how Tablature should behave.

You also have a couple of tablature users who are interested in becoming
Frogs and thus joining the development team (Marc is one of them, IIRC).

When you have agreement as to what should be the default for tablature, then
it will be time to add the changes to the distribution (and Marc would be an
ideal person to do it).

Right now, as I understand it, there are some users who regularly have
TabStaffs without any other staff.  These users need stems, beams, flags,
ties, slurs, etc.

There is also a group of users who regularly use TabStaff with Staff.  These
users want only numbers, because the beams, stems, slurs, ties, etc. are all
in the regular music staff, and the TabStaff is only showing fret and string
information.

  
Yes, that's right. In songbooks you normally find regular music staves 
with the additional
information about fret and string numbers, so the stems and stuff would 
simply look too

complicated.
On the other hand, when I write down the intro of a song played by 
guitar in tablature and the
rest of the song is simply the lyrics with some chords above, I want to 
have the stems in the

tab to save space on the song sheet.

People who care strongly about tablature (of which I am *not* one) should be
the people who make the decision about what the default should be.  In fact,
I don't think there's anybody on the core development team who is strongly
interested in tablature.

That being said, I don't think that the decision to make notes only or full
music the default is a very important decision, as long as there is a single
command to change to the other style.

  
Would it be easier to define two separate staff commands? In my files, I 
define


noten = \relative c { c d e f }

and feed this into a Staff AND a TabStaff. So, why not create a compound 
Staff (called \MusicTabStaff, for example),

which does exactly the same as

 \Staff { \noten } \TabStaff  { \numbersOnly \noten } 

and uses only the numbers, whereas \TabStaff (as defined in lilypond) is 
used in the cases where
no regular staves are needed and thus shows up everything (stems, slurs 
etc.)?



When the decision is made, and it's ready for submission to LilyPond, the
defaults will be established in ly/engraver-init.ly

The commands for changing from one to the other will be established in
ly/property-init.ly.

Marc, once you've got consensus, you can make the changes and roll me a
patch, and I'll apply it.

  
Ok, but I think we are just at the beginning of the topic. The more I 
think about tablature features/defaults,

the more complicated it gets ;-)

Marc

Thanks,

Carl

Re: invisible slurs in tablature

2009-04-01 Thread Marc Hohl





I think you should also add:

\override TabVoice.Tie #'transparent = ##t

Yes, of course. But then another problem occurs: if the tie isn't 
visible, it looks as if there are two distinct
notes. Therefore, I think strongly about a scheme function (which at the 
end should be hidden in the

TabVoice-context) which translates, e.g.

c4 d e2 ~ e4. e8

to

c4 d e2 s4. e8

so the spurious tablature number disappears in the output. From earlier 
postings I knew that there are
several functions about automatically calculating intervals etc., but 
I'm a scheme newbie. So I would be
glad if someone out there would give me a hint how to start writing such 
a function.
I'm in doubt about that modern TAB sign... (all though it's always 
good to have some choices)
I know most of the software / books display it like that, but should 
we follow that or fits the default tab sign better in Lilypond?


\r


Hm, personally I don't like the standard LilyPond tab sign, but it 
should be easy to switch between the two and leave the desicion to the user.

Re: Review of Valentin's Opera

2009-04-01 Thread Valentin Villenave
2009/4/1 Francisco Vila paconet@gmail.com:
 At the same time, you all know what's the relation between the article
 and LilyPond: although not mentioned in the text, the first opera by
 Valentin Villenave is licensed as free software, and it has been fully
 typeset using Lily. It has been a remarkable absolute première and the
 article gives a very good value to the work and the performance.

Thanks a lot for sharing this; I had met with this journalist a few
months ago, and as I told him about alternate licencing choices, about
publishing the score on my own using a Free-software tool, I noticed
that he was less than convinced.

I met him again after a performance of my opera, and he confessed he
hadn't been expecting to see something as professional (his word) as
what he'd just seen.

 I take this opportunity to say Kudos! to all the great lilyponders who
 are using, developing and promoting this great piece of software.

As I said, LilyPond's job was remarkably appreciated by the musicians
and by the orchestra's librarist. Besides, writing and editing the
score was made way easier and more pleasant than anything I could have
expected.

No matter the value of this project itself (or possibly lack thereof,
time will tell), what makes me proud is that I've been able to pursue
the path opened by people like Nicolas Sceaux, Kieren, Trevor B., Jose
Padovani and several others, and to demonstrate that LilyPond is
definitely ready for prime-time: composers, publishers everywhere CAN
use, SHOULD use, WILL use LilyPond.

And not only LilyPond, but the Freedom that come with it: alternate
licences, ability to read, copy and modify the source code, etc.
Hopefully we will have, in the future, more and more works published
this way; we musicians and citizens of the world certainly do need
such a repertoire.

So say we all :-)

Cheers,
Valentin

There are at least two ways to go with this.

The first is to have a StaffGroup that includes a Staff and a TabStaff.  It
would be something like a PianoStaff.  I don't know the details of how that
would word, but I suspect it could be done.

The second would be to write a simple music function with one argument (call
it myMusic) that expands to

 \new Staff { myMusic} \new TabStaff {\numbersOnly \myMusic

This music function would be a simple substitution function.  You can use

nor from the Swedish ensemble that used it two years ago, so I don't  
know

what the score is really worth, but it seems to serve them well.

Houston is about a four-hour drive from my house.  Maybe I'll go  
over there for it. :)  Tickets will be expensive, though, if it's  
the Houston Grand Opera. :(  Who's doing the production?



It's in the Cullen Theatre of Wortham Center, the ensemble is called
Mercury Baroque: http://www.mercurybaroque.org/02/02109.aspx

Oh boy, I see what you meant about the price with Houston Grand Opera...
do people at least get Champagne and caviar for a 250$ seat?

Bravo. Just curious, how do you manage to get informed of this?


Because the people told me :-)
Typically, a musician asks, say, if I plan to make the performing  
material

for the opera which lead sheet I've typeset, because they'd like to play
it for a concert.

Oh, parasiting a thread dedicated to Valentin's opera, I'm not showing  
good

manners, pardon.

Lilypond crashing with cue notes

2009-04-01 Thread northofscotland

I have been entering a seven part piece by Schutz; 2 voice + 5 instrumental. 
To help the performers I have been making extensive use of cue notes between
all seven parts.
I have been using Lilypond 2.12.2 with the latest jedit/Lilypond tool. 
Currently it is a clean, new install since I uninstalled/reinstalled to see
if that solved the problem, - it hasn't!
All the parts seem to work perfectly as stand-alone, un-cued but as I added
the cue notes, building up with a series of \include statements at the head
of the file, \cueDuring in the notes and \addQuote before the \score
statement it all seemed to go pear shaped and hang - seemingly in some
indefinite loop.  The problem seemed to arise once I was about half way
through with some files that had worked perfectly - including the cues
throwing a wobbly, and with others which were being worked on.  The only way
to get out of it is to kill everything

Is it me, the program, bugs, lilypond tool or whatever?  More importantly,
has anyone any ideas how to fix it please?

 Sure it is!

I can only confirm this. A performance of Schubert's German Stabat Mater 
(D383) last year here in Vienna was also done using LilyPond orchestra 
material. The musicians really liked the good look of the score.

The only problems appear when trying to create good-looking full scores for 
the conductor (part combining is unusable and vertical stretching and page 
layout is also quit bad). But the orchestra material with only one-staff 
systems can really be done in a quality superior to most commercial scores.
The only problem I had with individual instrumental scores were cue notes to 
vocal voices, where you can't easily attach lyrics.

Cheers,
Reinhold

And, speaking from experience, the cash price of the thing is nothing
compared to the organisational faff required to get one and sign
binaries with it. You pretty much need a dedicated Windows box to store
it on and do signing with, and one or two designated people to have the
passphrase of the key. And if by some mishap you lose the key or the
passphrase they charge even more money to send you a new one.

It has no security benefit anyway. There are plenty of malwares around
there with valid signatures; you just need the dough and some headed
notepaper to convince the certificate authorities to sign your key.
Signing the downloadable binaries (for all platforms) with OpenPGP means
that users who want to can verify their integrity; if enough Vista users
care enough about having to click through the security warning then
there might be a good business model of selling signed installers
(including the source code, of course, as per GPL).
