Re: Mac OS X LilyPond & Terminal install problems.
If you're absolutely brand new to lilypond, using the terminal may
not be the best solution. Unless you are very familiar with terminal
applications, in which case, I would suggest the instructions in the
documentation at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/
lilypond-program/Setup-for-MacOS-X#Setup-for-MacOS-X for setting up
lilypond, otherwise, I would suggest that as a completely new person
to lilypond, you start with jedit and lilypondtool. It's probably
more along the lines of what you're looking for. More information can
be found here: http://lilypondtool.organum.hu/
Also, I would suggest starting reading the learning manual, it's
designed as a do-it-yourself course in how lilypond works, and how to
typeset your music with lilypond.
Good luck!

I had never heard of this method until your email arrived, but I
tried it out and I understand how it's supposed to work. From what
you said it seems to be working just right. First question,
though, is this your first time to use Lilypond? If so then you
have to understand that it's a very different program from what
you may be used to, inasmuch as you create your scores by writing
source code in plain text files, which are saved with the
extension .ly (that's why it said to drop your .ly source file
here). I'm guessing that the blank window that was open was an
editor window. If not, then you would need to open a text editor
and write some code in there and save it as something like
"test.ly". You can use mac's TextEdit application, but I'd
recommend something more robust like Smultron, which is free.
Open up an editor (not a word processor) and save this code with a
filename of your choice having the .ly extension (best not to put
spaces in the filename):
%% begin code
\version "2.12.1"
\relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
%% end code
Drop the file into the terminal window like you did before. The
way it works is that you keep your text editor window ope

Re: Mac OS X LilyPond & Terminal install problems.
I use 10.4 and LilyPond runs well there, but there is a lot of commentary on the Web that LilyPond is severely broken on 10.5. I don't have a 10.5 machine to test (and frankly won't upgrade to 10.5 until LilyPond is known to be stable and functional without a lot of drama).

I'm assuming you read this page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Repeats-in-MIDI
Following the template provided there, I believe this should work:
\score {
<< { \unfoldRepeats \global } \melody >>
\layout {

}
}
\score {
<< { \unfoldRepeats \global } \melody >>
\midi {
\context {
\Score tempoWholesPerMinute = #(ly:make-moment 120 4)
}
}
}
Let me know if it doesn't. If it does, then the next question is:
Did you read NR 3.5.4 "Repeats in MIDI" and did you find it
confusing? If so, what exactly confused you? That way we can try
to make it clearer for future users, which is always important to

Thank you. I have just tracked the problem and it's caused by this
line in the preamble:
\usepackage{tikz}
which is a pity because the tikz package is awesome. I have no idea
about how to debug the interaction between it and lilypond-book.

Right, but for simple copying of written music and further hearing,
this simple example works:
\version "2.11.62"
clarinet = { \key d \major d''1 }
flute = { c'1 }
\score {
<<
\new Staff { \transposition bes \clarinet }
\new Staff \flute
>>
\midi {}
\layout{}
}
Granted, \transposition is not useful in general if it does not
support \transpose in it (or outside of it).

Re: Hairpin after-line-breaking -- how?
I want the hairpin to end on the first note of a new line.
\relative g'{
\override Score.Hairpin #'after-line-breaking = ##t
g2\< a4 a4 | \break
b2.\! r4}
But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?
If i have well understood, 'after-line-breaking is a callback function to
allow user to tweak some parameters if a line break does occur, not to
decide if you want or not to split a grob after a line break.
(see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Difficult-tweaks#Difficult-tweaks )
So the only (ugly) solution i know is :
\relative g'{
g2\< a4 a4 | \break
s16 b2.*11/12\! r4
c1
}
but it is not very usefull in the "Real Life" because you generally don't
know where a line break occurs.

\transposition doesn't sit well with MIDI output if you're going to do
further transpositions.
Try:
\version "2.11.62'
clarinet = \transpose bes c' { \transposition bes bes1 }
flute = { bes1 }
\score {
\transpose c d' <<
\new Staff \clarinet
\new Staff \flute

Re: Can't get LilyPond to work.
Hello Steve The system cannot find the path specified. Is there anything I can do to make LilyPond work? I am running Open Office in Windows XP. I think you try to install OOolilypond in OpenOffice (not Lilypond). To install OOoLilypond, you have to : 1- Install Lilypond in your system : http://lilypond.org/web/install/ 2- Install OOoLilypond in OpenOffice. 3- In the main window of the OOoLilypond editor, click on the "config" bouton : In the bottom edit box, type the path of your lilypond executable : in Windows something like : C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin\lilypond.exe It should work with these 3 steps.
