TextSpanner at Score level?
Is it possible to have a text spanner at the score level instead at the Staff level? I have a tempo indication "Stringendo - - - - -" which appears at every line of the conductor score. This is too much. The original score I am copying has printed it only above wind instruments, string instruments and below the score. It easier to read. I could use the \tempo command but then I do not get the - - - -. Frédéric ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I'm lazy so I usually write those types of pieces in 6/8 or 12/8. :-) Put a friends jazz waltz into a leadsheet once and wanted a midi sample, so I had to have a separate midi version where I put all the parts into triplets.

Bar numbers live in the Score context, which means 'outside-staff-priority will be ignored. Here are two possible workarounds: 1. Move Bar_number_engraver to the Staff context (only possible if using one stave, or using \with { } on the top stave) 2. Move the start of the left-broken text span so it doesn't collide with the bar number, either by tweaking (bound-details left-broken padding) or setting (bound-details left-broken end-on-note) = ##t Regards, Neil ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Polyphony + Autochange
I can't get autochange to work with polyphonic notation. I've tried all sorts of stuff, and everything gives results in four broad categories: 1) the voices engrave on top of each other like they should, but autochange doesn't work, 2) the voices are engraved after, not on top of, each other, 3) I get some weird combination of new staves in various stages of completeness, or 4) for some strange reason Lilypond applies the second voice's rhythm to the first voice and I end up getting a mess of music that goes off the page. If anyone needs some examples I'll endeavour to recreate my experiments and post them up. If possible, could someone give me a tutorial on getting multiple voices to automatically change staves based on pitch? And if at all possible, could this be added to the docs, because they deal with this issue really, really badly?

I think you misunderstood my suggestion. I was suggesting: 1) Commands \tabNumbersOnly and \tabNumberedNoteHeads (or something similar to that) would be defined in ly/property-init.ly. 2) The default behavior of the TabVoice would be establihed in ly/engraver-init.ly I don't think we want to have different contexts for different ways of displaying tablature. In general, we want to have contexts represent different musical entities, not different ways of displaying elements in those entities. So we don't have a separate ShapeNoteVoice, we just have a Voice with properties set so that the NoteHeads are shape note style. If you use a separate context, you can't switch from one to the other (although with TabStaff, it's not likely that you would want to do that). I think you can make a command that sets the stencils of all of the stuff you don't want to #'f, which would be a better way to handle it. But I've copied this email to lilypond-devel, in case they don't agree with me. > > I also removed the Dynamic_engraver, but this doesn't work, the dynamic > signs are > still in the tablature. How can I remove the dynamics properly? In my copy of engraver-init.ly, when I look at the Voice context, I see that the /consists Dynamic_engraver is commented out, and there is a /consists New_dynamic_engraver line just above it. I think you should /remove New_dynamic_engraver, and you'll get the output you want. Thanks, Carl P.S. A couple of housekeeping things: 1) It's much easier for me to follow multiple threads if they are interleaved, instead of having new messages posted on the top. Maybe I'm showing my age, but traditionally top-posting is less desirable in discussion groups (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style). 2) LilyPond standards call for universal diffs (diff -u). Please use that style in the future; it makes it much easier to review patches before applying. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: invisible slurs in tablature
Ok, as Carl proposed, I put some modifications in ly/engraver-init.ly, namely I created a \TabNumVoice , which is a copy of \TabVoice without stems, dots, markups etc. The problem with the numbers in brackets which are used at line breaks to indicate tied notes isn't solved yet, but I have now at least a slight idea of how this could be done in scheme. I also removed the Dynamic_engraver, but this doesn't work, the dynamic signs are still in the tablature. How can I remove the dynamics properly? Marc Carl D.

Marc I agree, all though I'm thinking the other way around: \tabNumbers Uh no that is not what I meant. I meant that I rather have to set things on instead of off... So as I see it now, default is \tabNumersOnly and if you want to add stems etc there is a command for it. A command to set all such features (stems, dots, Tie etc.) on, would be nice maybe? \tabSignsAll (or something like that) \r I don't know how to make the stems and such disappear by default, but using a simple command isn't that much effort. I have attached my tablature.ly which allows to switch between the "normal" and the "numbers only" settings. Both versions feature a modern tab clef. I Comments, improvements etc. are welcome! Marc Thanks for your work Marc! :) Maybe some lily devs can discuss how to make it default and make it possible to add things (dots, stems etc.). I tested it a bit and it seems to work ok. I don't know if articulations etc belongs in tab too? for example: \version "2.12.2" \include "tablature.ly" tab = { \time 3/4 c4. d-_( e\varcoda) ->f g~ a\prall g\thumb e-. f-. g-. \times 3/4 { b~ c d c } } \score { \new TabStaff = "guitar numbers only" { \tabNumbersOnly \tab } } \score { \new TabStaff = "guitar full tab" { \tabNumbersAndStems \tab } } I think you should also add: \override TabVoice.Tie #'transparent = ##t 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. 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. 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.
