how to add a utf-8 character to the title

2009-07-19 Thread Brian Kidd

hello,

this seems like a simple thing, but i've been unable to find anything  
in the archives and the documentation.


basically, i'd like to add a title that contains an accented  
character (unicode = 00e9). outside of lilypond the title would be:

Sinte' Intro

i can create the variable
accentE = #(ly:export (ly:wide-char->utf-8 #x00e9))

and then i've tried

i've tried:
\header{
  title = "Sint" \accentE " Intro"
}

however, this doesn't work. how can i concatenate these strings and  
utf-8 character to have the correct title?


thanks,
-brian

2009-07-19 Thread David Bobroff
If you're using a UTF-8 aware editor it should be a simple matter to 
simply enter your accented 'e' in your input file and have it appear in 
the output.  Is your editor UTF-8 aware/capable and are you saving the 
file as UTF-8?

The long way:

The short way (make sure your file is saved with UTF-8 encoding):

All you need to do is type it in, Sinté( or Sintè) Intro.

Hi, Carl.

There's not an one and only solution, but you might want to look into 
section 4 of the Notation Reference:

http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Spacing-issues#Spacing-issues

Especially section 4.1.2, § Vertical dimensions, section 4.4.2 and 
section 4.6 might be of interest for you.
If you just want to make everything smaller (i. e., decrease the overall 
notation size), look into section 4.2.1.



Hope that helps,
Alexander

Concerning \repeat

2009-07-19 Thread Matej Kosik
Hello,

I am not using Lilypond too frequently, but when I want to engrave some
music, I use it exclusively.

Yesterday, I decided to create an lilypond version of Yann Tiersen's piece:

http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/yann_tiersen__comptine_dun_ete.pdf
http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/yann_tiersen__comptine_dun_ete.ly

(the source was a PDF I've got from a guy I met once. Unlike in the
original I've got, I am trying to explicitely denote repeated measures.)

Lilypond version is mostly done but I would like to use the

\repeat

command instead of

\bar "|:"

and

\bar ":|"

commands. I am using special (?) layout where I encode both hands
simultaneously. This leads to easier to lilypond-code.

However, in this special layout, I am not able to figure out how to use the

\repeat
\alternative

commands.

The simplified version of the layout with simple contents can be found here:

http://altair.sk/uploads/tmp/test.ly

This is a model of my problem.

Can somebody explain me how can I use the \repeat command to denote
repetition, e.g., of the second and the third measure twice? Is it also
possible to use the \alternative command with this layout somehow?

Thank you very much in advance.

In this case, just use \repeat volta 2 { 'repeated block of music' }

without the \alternative part (you don't have 1st/2nd endings)

Understanding the processing model

2009-07-19 Thread Martin Hosken
Is there any documentation that explains more of the internal workings of 
lilypond. I'm looking for something that explains how music events get to 
engravers and then what happens afterwards with the layout events. 'When' are 
stencils executed? Is it possible to write an engraver in scm?

I am managing to get somewhere with writing scheme code to do what I want, but 
the effects are usually more through luck than judgement: I write something 
expecting something to happen and it doesn't so I have to write it a different 
way. I think if I understood the overall processing of events better from music 
events through to output events and when things execute, I could do a whole lot 
better.

TIA,
Yours,
Martin

Re: formatting question

2009-07-19 Thread Carl Glick
Ok, I was toying around with these suggestions, and I have a few problems.
When I make the staves smaller, the only way to get the number of systems I
want is to make them too small. When I use

\paper {
  between-system-padding = #0.1
  between-system-space = #0.1
  ragged-last-bottom = ##f
  ragged-bottom = ##f
}

from 4.6, the systems are all pushed down to the bottom on the first page.
And when I use

\paper {
  system-count = #3
}

from the same page, the first page looks fine, but the rest of the music all
goes onto one system, which goes off the rest of the page. I tried
explicitly stating the \book context, but that seemed to make things worse.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Parallel music coming out in series

2009-07-19 Thread Tim Rowe
Ok, I leave Lilypond alone for a while, and I forget it all -- it's
not for the occasional user, is it? At least not an absent-minded one.

I'm simply trying to set a piece of music in two parts. I could
cut-and paste something that works, and if nobody can spare the time
then that's what I'll do. But then I won't understand why what I've
tried *doesn't* work, so if anybody could explain why what I'm doing
is wrong I'd be really glad!

What I have is:
\score {
  \new PianoStaff <<
\set PianoStaff.instrumentName = #"Piano  "
\new Staff << \UpperMelodyVoice \\ \UpperOrnamentVoice >>
\new Staff \lower
  >>
  \layout { }
  \midi { }
}

I was hoping for the contents of \UpperMelodyVoice to be printed in
the same clef as \UpperOrnamentVoice, to be played at the same time.
Instead \UpperOrnamentVoice is typeset *after* \UpperOrnamentVoice.

In case it makes a difference:

UpperMelodyVoice = \relative c'
{
  \tempo 4 = 80
  \clef treble
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4
  r16 c( d e f d e c g'8-.) c( b c-. |
 }

 UpperOrnamentVoice = \relative c''
 {
   s2 s1 b64( a b32) s16 s8
 }

lower = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \key c \major
  \time 4/4

  r2 r16 c( d e f d e c |
}

(Yes, it's one bar of Bach's 2-part invention in C, and I've separated
the ornamentation because the beams and phrase marks got tricky later
on if I try to include them within the same line).

I bet it's simple, but what *am* I doing wrong?

I don't have the inventions available to look at but my memory says that 
the ornament should occur on beat 4 on the 'b8'.  You've put in too much 
skip time in the UpperOrnamentVoice.  It starts:


s2 s1

...which is equal to six beats.  Typo?  Change it to:

s2 s4

..or..

s2.


...and your problem should disappear, I think.

Nevertheless, \repeat works outside the \parallelMusic environment so I

This bit of comment describes how to get Midi and PDF coming out the same.


When you want them coming out differently, you use _two_ score blocks:

- one score block has \midi (and no \layout)
- the other score block has \layout (and no \midi)

and these score blocks can have different music inside.

In this case the one for Midi should get no \chordmode stuff.

Yes.  You just need to have two different scores, one for MIDI and one for
layout.

The layout one has 

\score{
  <<
\chordNames { \myChords }
\myNotes
  >>
  \layout {}
}

The midi one has

\score{ 
  \myNotes
   \midi{} 
}

See sections 3.1 and 3.5 of the Notation Reference

By the way, I'm typesetting Debussy's Clair de Lune to teach myself
Lilypond _and_ music notation, and oh boy I've been in a ride. I have
set up a Google code repository [1] in case you are interested.

Hi,

Simply because it's not a slut, it's a tie (see
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Writing-rhythms#Ties).
Use \tieDown instead, it works !  ;-)

Xavier

Typically, this occurs when a measure has the wrong number of beats.  
Are you using explicit bar checks?

Can you submit a pared-down example? It's too hard to visualize
with just 5 paper variables out of context.

I managed to work it all out. I just needed to play with it a little more
(lot more). I didn't have any overhanging notes, by the way.
