It half works! Fine for the dashed line but the text is not printed...

\new Score \with { \consists Text_spanner_engraver } 
  \new Staff { \new Voice \with { \remove Text_spanner_engraver

c'\stopTextSpan } }
  \new Staff { \new Voice \with { \remove Text_spanner_engraver
} { \stringendo c'1 \startTextSpan \repeat unfold 4 { c' }
c'\stopTextSpan } }





someone more familiar with the lilypond internals will have to answer  
this question. i have a feeling that there might be a different  
engraver that handles the bound texts, but i can't find out which one.


then again, it might be a bug. :)

dammit, i should think a bit more before answering things. TextSpanner  
has been moved to the score context, so we need to tell the override  
to use the TextSpanner objects in the Score context rather than the  
default. change the definition of stringendo to:


stringendo = { \textSpannerUp \override Score.TextSpanner #'bound- 
details #'left #'text = Stringendo }


and bob's your hypothetical uncle. at least it works here for me w/ 
2.12.1

Re: Fingerings with Flat Symbol

2009-04-21 Thread Robin Bannister

Jonathan Townes wrote:
the use of fingerings would be much faster and require less typing 


This nice aspect of fingerings is due to the parser knowing what a 
fingering looks like. But this is defined as being a single digit, 
so you only have ten things you can ask for (corresponding to 0 .. 9).


Writing your own version of fingering::calc-text lets you choose what 
these ten things are, but you can't get any more than ten. 

So you are limited to ten combinations, which is nowhere near enough.

Yeah, that's it.  Somehow, whenever you write a fine piece on or even

I over-reacted, I re-read the comment and realized it wasn't really

per se I'd prefer they take it up with me, not with my publishers.



Of course.  And if I like your articles, eg I really enjoyed your
last week's Progress Report part I, to whom should I send an email?

  


It's fine if you want to send something directly to me, or you can leave 
comments at the end of my articles. Comments are always good, my 
publishers like to see them too.



Of course it should be obvious from these articles just how I feel about 
LilyPond :



Yes, sometimes I'm even afraid it's a bit too obvious... and thanks
a lot for that!

  


Well, if it wasn't such great software I'd be less enthusiastic. 
However, it is such great software, and I shall continue to shout

Fingering font size on grace notes

2009-04-21 Thread Nick Payne
Fingering indications on grace notes doesn't shrink to be proportional to
the reduced size of the grace note, and the full size indication looks
excessively large alongside the note. It's easy enough to override - using
\override Fingering #'font-size = #-8 seems about right - but perhaps this
should happen automatically.

dual window editor

2009-04-21 Thread rathcoffey


I'm a new user of Lily Pond.  I'm running the program under Windows XP (I know, 
I know, don't tell me...)  I find it fast and easy to use.  I prefer it to 
Finale because it's so easy to debug the code. 



JEdit is O.K., but it would be a big help to me if there were a dual-window 
editor that would incorporate an interpreter (rather than a compiler).  One 
window would show the text file as it was being developed; the other side would 
display - on command - the resulting PDF image.  (Think of the way the Matlab 
editor works.)  It would make debugging much easier to be able to see the 
results of code changes immediately, rather than have to save the .LY file and 
then call LP, then look at the result in Adobe. 



Thanks for considering this...

one other thing - documentation

(see previous post).  I found the Manual and the Notation Reference very 
helpful.  I just have a couple of suggestions. 



The Command Summary which is part of Notation Reference (Appendix C, Cheat 
Sheet, page 545 ff.) could be extracted and made part of the short Guides.  
Once I learned it was there, I found it in Notation Reference, printed it, and 
have been adding notes to it as I go along.  Very helpful to have it all in one 
place.  It would have been even more helpful if I had known about it sooner. 



You could make these conventions explicit - I had to learn about them by trial 
and error.  



cis'4 is a valid command; cis4' is not. 







c (d e f    %comment 



g a) 



causes an error, but 



c(d e f

does not.  (the comment has to be outside of the paren.)

I think JEdit + LilyPondTool exactly offers this: LilyPondTool has a PDF 
preview window, even with clickable notes that position the cursor in the text 
edit window.

Frescobaldi is another program that does this (i wrote it myself):

Lilypond Tool in jEdit

2009-04-21 Thread Helge Kruse

Hello,

I installed jEdit and LilyPondTool (LPT) at Windows XP.
Unfortunately LPT could not be installed with the Plugin Manager of jEdit 
4.2. So I choosed to install jEdit 4.3pre16 (the development version) and 
LPT.


I also write in LaTeX and tried to use jEdit for this purpose. But jEdit 
hangs several times per hour when running LaTeX. I argue that it would be 
better to use the stable version 4.2 of jEdit. But there's no LPT 
available


Do you have similar problems with jEdit 4.3pre16?
Would it be possible to make LPT available for jEdit 4.2?

Re: Grace Note in Pick-Up Bar

2009-04-21 Thread grisu_76

I tried your recommendations with the \grace before the \partial; it doesn't
seem to work;
as requested, here's the full example; it is based on two files: the second
one is the music-file and the first one is the file for the full score,
including the music-file


%% FILE 1:

\include satz03.ly
# (set-global-staff-size 14)
\score {
   \new StaffGroup \keepWithTag #'score \music
   \layout {}
   \midi {
   \context {
   \Score
   tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 120 8)
   }
   }
}

%

 FILE 2 (i.e. satz03.ly:

\include deutsch.ly  
global = {
   \time 6/8
   \key es \major
   \tempo Presto
}

\markup {
   \fill-line {
   \huge III.
   }
}

ViolineEins = \new Voice {\relative c'{
   \set Staff.midiInstrument = #violin
   \grace {c''8} \partial 8*3  b8 \p (a) b-.
g8-. g-. g-. \grace{as} g( f) g-.
   \bar |.
   }}

ViolineZwei = \new Voice {\relative c'{
   \set Staff.midiInstrument = #violin

\grace {s8} \partial 8*3 r4 r8
   \bar |.
   }}
  Viola = \new Voice {\relative c'{
   \clef alto
   \set Staff.midiInstrument = #viola
   \partial 8*3 \grace {s8}   r4 r8

   \bar |.
   }}
Cello = \new Voice {\relative c{
   \clef bass
   \set Staff.midiInstrument = #cello
\grace {s8} \partial 8*3 r4 r8
 \bar |.
   }}

music = {

   
 \tag #'score \tag #' vn1 \new Staff {  \global \ViolineEins  }
 \tag #'score \tag #' vn2 \new Staff {  \global \ViolineZwei  }
 \tag #'score \tag #' vla \new Staff  {  \global \Viola  }
 \tag #'score \tag #' vlc \new Staff  {  \global \Cello  }

   
}

   }}
 
 I know about the Problem with those dummy-grace-notes, but it is printed
 into the time/key signature;
 
 Is there a posibility to let the piece start with the grace note within a
 pickup bar?
 
 Regards,
 Christian

 Doing a google search just provides the opposite, xml to lily.  Anybody
 know of anything?

This is a popular feature request, and hopefully someone will
implement it some day:

Glad to hear that!

I am going back to the documentation to see if I can learn such  
magic things.


Bonne chance!

Merci.


thanks, kieren, i just learnt some new things. :)


Since I'm currently teaching (a week-long FileMaker Pro course), I  
must be in good instructor mode... ;-)

All that being said, I'd still like to know why StaffGroup doesn't  
Do The Right Thing, [i.e., why this behavior shouldn't be  
considered a bug].


Cheers,

Re: Lilypond to XML

2009-04-21 Thread Jack Cooper
As others have replied, this isn't currently a lilypond feature.  However, a 
commercial
program called pdftomusicpro provides translation between pdf output and another
format which can then be exported to musicxml.  It works pretty well, although
I've only used it for leadsheet and songbook-style transcriptions.  Depending on
what you intend to do with the xml output, you may need to filter the output 
through one of the finale products to produce a more robust xml output.
 
I haven't fully experimented with tab output, so I can't say how well the tab 
information
is retained through this process.

 Actually as LPT has its own parser, which can tell more or less whether 
 the current input is valid, a constantly updated view could be possible. 
 (Like looking for the last valid version of the file in every 30 seconds 
 and generate the file.)
 

Yes yes yes please! I have many ideas about this feature, for example...

nice solution so far - but still some open points!

trying to take advantage of your mood i'll ask the following questions:

- it might be simpler to use skips (s) in the contextSpan voice
- how would you make more TextSpanners later on (the Text_spanner_engraver
has been removed from the voice)?
- how do you find out which contexts and engravers are involved?
- if you have 15 instruments (staffs) you need to add 15 stringendos - is
that correct?

thanks
