Re: missing glissando features (bugs?)
Neil Puttock schrieb: 2009/5/2 Marc Hohl : I have made some observations concerning \glissando: 1) accidentals are not recognised properly; I know this is in the bug list and there are workarounds, see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-08/msg00235.html This isn't at all straightforward to fix (I had a stab at it a while ago, and it's tricky to get the positioning correct on the right hand side because the accidental changes the anchor point for the end of the glissando.) 2) the glissando line between half steps should indicate the direction; e.g. a glissando line between c and c# should raise a bit and not be parallel to the staff lines; 3) in tablature, the glissando is always indicated upwards, but it should be drawn in respect to the fret number; e.g. 3/5\3, not 3/5/3; Should (2) and (3) be considered as bugs? I have found a request from 9/2005: Probably. It should be quite easy to fix both problems with a callback for 'extra-dy (see below) http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2005-09/msg00112.html and it seems to me that this has been partly implemented (the lines betweeen fret numbers are now sloped, so there _has_ been some progress). Are there any hints/workarounds to solve this problem? >From the glissando you can get the left and right noteheads using ly:spanner-bound, from which it's possible to retrieve the pitches. A simple comparision of pitches should allow you to set the correct return value for 'extra-dy. Thanks for your informations. I did a lot of "git grep" in the sources, but I didn't find very much about invoking ly:spanner-bound. How can I obtain the value for the first argument, i.e. the of (ly:spanner-bound )? For TabVoice.Glissando, you can get the staff-positions for the bounding notes, so it's possible to apply extra-dy only for glissandos between tab notes on the same line.

programming error: minimise_least_squares (): Nothing to minimise
The full error in the console is programming error: minimise_least_squares (): Nothing to minimise This means that vertical spacing is triggered before line breaking continuing, cross fingers I originally asked this question a couple of weeks ago but never got a reply. What causes this error? I have a fairly complex score where if I override a beam position with once override Beam #'positions = #'(l . r) then this error will appear, though the output still looks fine. I've also found that as I add more bars, the error will disappear again, but then reappears later on when yet more bars are added. I'm running 2.12.2 on Windows.

hi Stefan
why don't you reply in the thread you started - now it gets difficult to
find corresponding parts!?
there is also a more simple solution - but be aware that the result will
depend on how dense the measures following on the same line are drawn and/or
how many notes are spanned:
\paper { ragged-right =##f }
{
\clef "G_8"
\set crescendoText = \markup { \italic { cresc. } }
\set crescendoSpanner = #'text
bes 2\< des \mf r 1
}

Chord substitution mystery
I was using a chord substitution scheme submitted here by Kieren MacMillan. It
works well and I enhanced it for augmented chords. However, I'm trying to
display a plus sign as the augmented symbol and in the case of the C augmented7
chord it displays C7/#5 instead of C+7. Whereas the C aug 9 is fine, showing
C+9:
\paper {
ragged-last = ##f
}
\include "english.ly"
FGGChordNames =
{
1-\markup { \super "maj9" }
1-\markup { \super "6(add9)" }
1-\markup { + }
1-\markup { +\super "7" }
1-\markup { +\super "9" }
}
chExceptions = #(append (sequential-music-to-chord-exceptions
FGGChordNames #t) ignatzekExceptions)
melody = \relative c'' {
c4 c c c c
\bar "|."
}
harmonies = \chordmode {
\set chordChanges = ##f
\set chordNameExceptions = #chExceptions
c4:maj9
c4:6.9
c4:aug
c4:aug7
c4:aug9
}
\score {
<:<
\new ChordNames {
\set chordChanges = ##t

You've got an errant ' in your chord definition -- you actually want
1-\markup { +\super "7" }
Hope this helps!

That does help. I guess the quote mark put that particular note in a different
octave???

bad spacing
This looks really bad:
harpchords = \relative c' { \time 15/8
s2^"C" s2^"G/B" s2^"Am" s4. | s2^"Cmaj7/B" s2^"Em/G" s2^"F" s4. |
s2^G s2^"F/A" s2^"G/B" s4. | s2^"Dm/A" s2^"Dm/F" s2 s4. |
\repeat volta 2 {
s2^C s2^"G/B" s2^"Am" s4.^"Am/G#" | s2^"Cmaj7/G" s2^"Em" s2^F
s4.^"Bb/F" |
s2^G s2^"F/A" s2^"G/B" s4.^"Fdim/G#" | s2^"Am" s2^F s2 s4. |
} s2^"C"
}
\score {
\new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "Harp" \harpchords }
}
Should it look better, or am I using the wrong mechanism?

Your method is fine. Since spacer rests don't take up much space on
their own, the chord names create this lattice effect so that they
don't collide with each other.
Try adding \textLengthOn at the beginning of the \relative block.
This should give the effect you are looking for.
This command is explained in the Learning Manual, chapter 4.4.3:
