Well, I'm surprised too, that "this doesn't take *any* effect". See pdf

\slurDown.

Hi Tim,

There's a snippet in the Notation Reference that may be able to  
help you.  Look in section 4.4.3 at the example just below where it  
says "To understand how each of these different settings work, we  
begin by looking at an example that includes no overrides at all."   
It uses an extra voice with nothing but


  s1*5 \break s1*5 \break

and so forth, making the systems break after every fifth bar.   
Maybe this approach will do what you want.


Thanks, I will look at that!

also i the case, that the slur „belongs“ „outside“ the beam, this is something,
which I don‘t like.

But the hint made me try

d'8(\noBeam b)~%\slurUp

which is not the best (hints welcome) but a solution for me.

you have to paste everything below
"Enjoy" upto the mail adress at the bottom into a file and change  
it to your needs.


Ah.  Can that be done using \include?

Yes, of course. I have pasted the lines needed into a file  
"transpose.ly" which you should keep in the
same directory as the files that need it. If you write an \include  
"transpose.ly in your file,

the two functions \modeTranspose and \diatonicTranspose are available.
But to be honest, I don't know how they work nor exactly what they do.



Thank you!  I will use the empirical approach to see what happens.

If you can hear the vibraphone in fluidsynth but not in timidity, you 
can edit the cfg file that timidity is using to include the vibraphone 
sound from the soundfont that fluidsynth is apparently using. This can 
be done, no problem.

As I indicated in my previous reply, this depends on the MIDI player, and
accompanying data used for rendering the sound of the selected instrument:
If this data is missing, that instrument's sound cannot be generated.

I tried it on my computer.
E.g. for the "timidity" midi player, the vibraphone is absent, while with
"fluidsynth" it's there.

As a workaround, for "timidity", you can modify its configuration file; when
you see the following message in the output:
---
No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 11 - this instrument will not be 
heard
---
then you can create an appropriate line in "/etc/timidity/freepats.cfg"
which would reference one of the existing "patch" (i.e. sound) file. [Of
course, you still won't have the sound of the "vibraphone", but at least you
can keep the reference to the correct midi instrument in the Lilypond file.]

Best,
Gilles

Thank you for the advice.
I think I now have the chords as low as they can go down.

Re: jEdit changes file unexpectedly

2009-05-17 Thread Helge Kruse
Yes, setting the Encoding in Global Options to UTF-8 allows saving and 
re-loading of UTF-8 files. Dunno if this will hit me at any other place, 
since it's a global option, where I would need it only for files with a 
specific extension. But I'll wait until I get the problem, if any.

I've had the same problem with one file as well - the title of a song is 
Cariño Nuevo. The ñ gets changed to n everytime. I finally gave up on 
changing it and just leave it as a regular n. BTW, my files are all 
opened/saved as UTF-8, everytime, so I thought. After all, in the bottom 
corner it showed UTF-8. I then went to File/Open/Commands/Encoding, and 
it always defaulted to Auto and cP1252. I'd change it, but found that I 
had to do that every time I opened a file. I finally found in 
Utilities/Global Options/Encodings that that is what the default was set 
to. I changed it to UTF-8 and now it opens the files correctly.

Helge, maybe that is your issue as well?

Hello,

I have found a problem with jEdit (probably LilypondTool). I just 
write a .ly source that contains the word "Pincé". I saved the file 
yesterday. Today I wanted to continue and see that this word has been 
changed to "Pincé". That's a bit annoying. The "Pincé" is a playing 
instruction and should be a markup.


Do you know a way to save the spelling of it? Since it appears at 
several places, it's not easy to fix it every time I re-open the file.


Regards,
Helge
