Vertical-Spacing
Hello Lilypond-Users, I am trying to set an eight-voice choral score in four staffs (SATB). This is working out very well and my choir-singing fellows appreciate the nice look of my lilypond-scores. Right now I am compiling a collection of pieces to a book. One of these pieces shows up with a phenomenom, wich I do not understand: The default-staff-size is set to 16 - that makes 3 SATB-systems. But there is one page with only 2 systems leaving a lot of blank space in the middle. I tried to tweak with VerticalAxisGroup on Staff and on Lyrics, but that didn't change this. If I change the default-staff- size to 15 or 17, the blank fields shows up on different pages. I used '\set stanza' to save vertical space with dynamics and some annotations. Annotate-spacing showed up a metric wich would indeed leave space for 3 systems on the said pages. How else can I try to prevent this? I hope this is not an annoying blind-eyes-newbie-question! Have a good day. Regards, Jan-Peter. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: website: why do you use lilypond?
2009/8/6 Graham Percival gra...@percival-music.ca: True, but we haven't invented new copyright pieces for classical, Gregorian chant, etc. Those aren't covered by copyright. And I gave numerous examples of pop songs that are not covered by copyright, and there are lots more. I would have thought it better to have a recognisable pop song on the web site if we can. Elvis Presley might not exactly be current, but he was certainly popular! I don't think that any of his songs would become available until 2050 or so -- assuming the big media companies don't extend copyright again in a few years. As I said originally, Elvis Presley's hit Wooden Heart is *already* public domain. It was a cover of a German folk song that goes back to at least 1827. The English words are not public domain, but (conveniently) Presley sang a verse of the German original which *is*. So we could perfectly well obey copyright law by giving a couple of bars of the German verse. Muß i' denn, muß i' denn, zum Städtele hinaus, Presley public-domainly sang. It would be different if we were posting his recording or that arrangement, but the song itself and the German lyric shouldn't be a copyright issue. Or we could go back to earlier pop: She was poor but she was honest... ;-) If that's a reference to my let's obey copyright law, even if we have poorer examples, then yes. If that's a reference to a pre-1926 pop song, then it obviously went over my head. :) It's a pre-1926 pop song (probably -- certainly pre-1930). Music Hall, composer unknown. Probably best known for the verse It's the same the 'ole world over / ain't it just a bloomin' shame, / it's the rich what gets the pleasure / it's the poor what gets the blame. -- Tim Rowe ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How do you shorten a hairpin?
Dear All,
When I try to shorten a hairpin on a minim (half note) using
{ } \\ { } and spacers, the lyrics ignore the note.
I've tried Keiren's scheme code from a few versions ago
without success.

Re: How do you shorten a hairpin?
Hi Frederick,
When I try to shorten a hairpin on a minim (half note) using
{ } \\ { } and spacers, the lyrics ignore the note.
Try
{} \new Voice {}
where the notes for the lyrics are in the first {} and the spacers
are in the second {}. That should solve your problem.
I've tried Keiren's scheme code from a few versions ago without
success.
Hmmm... I'll have to go back and see what's going on there. This is
going to be my Autumn of Lilypond, so I may finally get around to
coding a Scheme function which supports (or at least automagically
fakes) arbitrary bound-padding and shifting of hairpins.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: problems with learning lilypond
Agreed!!!
Eg. What does it mean on page 34 of the Learning Tutorial when it
says...
Variables must be defined before the main music expression.
Does this mean the \score { } or does it mean the expression in which
the declared variable is referenced?
Because I dutifully declare my variables before the \score { } in my
script file using the example template from A.1.4 Notes, lyrics and
chords on page 143, again of the learning manual.
End result...
This error when I compile my script

Here is one way you can solve this problem.
NEVER DOCUMENT ANYTHING OUT OF CONTEXT except with a link that
LEADS TO
THE CORRECT CONTEXT.
YOU HAVE TO BE SYSTEMATIC! Consider the following:
Every feature must be documentedright? So are we talking about a
desert of documented sand pebbles in a jar or are there
relationships
between them? WOW! there are DEPENDENCIES --- A dependences are B
depends on C --- oops, C depends on A NOT GOOD.
So what is one to do? Well, you could use a topological sort of all
capability dependencies using generality as the sort
discriminant. Find
all the cycles and BREAK THEM. Organize things in this way so now
you
have a structure which has an entry point for the user for every
feature. Look, dependency is just another way of say CONTEXT. If
context goes in a circle then you end up defining A grumpet B
and then
defining B as anti-grumpet A, which is has no more meaning than
being a
tautology.
In the best of all worlds, a user coming to the documentation WITH
NO
KNOWLEDGE OF LILYOND in wanting to do something like control
vertical
spacing, and if you linked back to more and more general contexts
with
clear examples and explanations in a systematic way, then at some
point
you would reach the context that includes the user's context, and
there
the user can make the connection of how to find the way to apply
vertical spacing to his/her specific situation.
A3 book
Hi all,
I'm using lilypond-book and LaTeX to gather some .ly files together in
a book.
It worked well with A4 settings..
Now I need to change to A3 (because the printer shop says it can print
easily in A3 if the source file is A3).
So the document must be twoside, which is the default setting in the
book class.
Unfortunately, the output is still oneside. Even if I specify twoside
in the documentclass preferences, nothing changes.
What am I doing wrong?
This is my book.lytek:
\documentclass[a3paper]{book}

Re: conditionally eliminating lyric extender
Hi Kieren, I'm not sure I understand the need for this. I would not normally use a lyric extender unless the syllable had an extended duration over several notes or was sung to a long note. This occurs far less frequently than a 2-note melisma. Do you attach lyric extenders unconditionally to every syllable sung to a melisma? Yes: 1. According to the engraving histories/guides I've read, there should be an extender after *every* [final] melisma syllable Aah - final syllable - yes! And it's needed whether it's a melisma or not if the final note is long, as it often is. regardless of how short (including negative) that extender line would end up being. 2. One can't possibly know in advance how wide the final engraved note spacing will be relative to the length of the lyric syllable — hence one should *always* include extenders so that Lilypond can DTRT depending on the spacing requirements [of different editions, alternative system breaks, etc.]. OK, I agree your automatic length calculation would be a nice feature, with negative lengths resulting in no extender being printed. this seems to be the standard practice in the vocal scores I'm familiar with. Recently, I've seen a lot of scores that don't use extenders *ever*... but I think this is a horrible practice which makes sight- singing more difficult. Agreed. They are definitely helpful when the duration of the note(s) in the score is significantly longer than the associated printed syllable.

Beam direction with \new Voice

before. I've searched the archives and haven't found an answer, so I'm
hoping someone will be able to help me!

However, the lyrics skipped these notes so I had a look in the

{ some notes } \new Voice { some more notes }
This works for the lyrics, but the notes now don't pay any attention
to each other and the beams now point towards rather than away from
each other and so clash. Is there a way to manually change these beams
without turning autobeams off for the whole song?

Re: Vertical-Spacing
Thanks alot! So it was kind of a blind-eye-mistake ...
Now I use:
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
ragged-bottom = ##f
Both were set to #f, so all pages got filled up. I did'nt see that
anymore, because I put my paper-defs in a file paper.ly that all
source-files include - so they have all the same dimensions.
Now all the files for this project have a structure like this:
\include paper.ly
sopran = \relative c'' { ... }
soptext = \lyricmode { ... }
...
\bookpart {
\header {
title =
...
}
\tocItem \markup { title }
\score {
...
}
}
That way I can compile every piece by itself and also a file
compilation.ly, wich includes a table of contents and all pieces.

Re: \context for named Staff
Hi James,
Well, there would be two. Actually, if it's possible, I would like
to have three scores:
1) Flute score, with a small PianoStaff
2) Piano score, with a small flute staff
3) Study score, with both staves the same size (I probably wouldn't do
this one if working in Finale, but if I don't have to worry about spacing
in Lilypond then what the heck... :)
I'm also thinking in general if there's a piano score, the other
instruments should have small staves. I initially thought this was one of
the reasons for having a layout block, but I just started utilizing it so
maybe I'm wrong.

Re: \context for named Staff

But I guess it's not possible to refer to a specific instance of
a Staff in the layout block (at least I couldn't find any
reference to doing this).
Not that I know of, but I've always silently wished for this.
I'll ask the developers.
If this is true, then how do you do staff size changes- like
making the flute staff smaller for the piano score- without
doing everything manually for each score/part?
At the moment, this is the best I can come up with.
Does this help?

Re: Beam direction with \new Voice
Hi Kieren, hi James,
Thank you very much to both of you, that was exactly what I was looking for!
Heike
Quoting Kieren MacMillan kieren_macmil...@sympatico.ca:
Hi Heike,
You'll need \voiceOne and \voiceTwo (and \oneVoice) for this construction.
You may also need to name your second Voice context.
For reference, you'll want to re-read section 1.5.2 of the Notation
Reference, Multiple Voices.
Here's a function that might help.
Cheers,
Kieren.

Thanks, Mark, I'll try this out and let you know how it works. -Jonathan --- On Fri, 8/7/09, Mark Polesky markpole...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Mark Polesky markpole...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: \context for named Staff To: Mark Polesky markpole...@yahoo.com, Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com, lilypond-user@gnu.org Date: Friday, August 7, 2009, 10:25 PM Mark Polesky wrote: #(define (inverse-magstep x) (* 6 (/ (log x) (log 2 Just noticed the scheme procedure magnification-font-size already defined in font.scm...

Re: problems with learning lilypond
Simon Mackenzie wrote Friday, August 07, 2009 3:55 PM
Eg. What does it mean on page 34 of the Learning Tutorial when it
says...
Variables must be defined before the main music expression.
Does this mean the \score { } or does it mean the expression in
which
the declared variable is referenced?
The former, as shown quite clearly in the
template you mention below.
Because I dutifully declare my variables before the \score { } in
my
script file using the example template from A.1.4 Notes, lyrics
and
chords on page 143, again of the learning manual.
End result...
This error when I compile my script
Unexpected string errors for every variable I've declared and
no
idea as to why the template example fails to perform as claimed in
the
documentation.
harmonies = \chordmode {...
melody = \lyricmode {... etc. generate Unexpected string errors
The template in the manual certainly does compile
without errors, as the image just below it is the
direct result of a compilation. I suggest you
look at the template on the website at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Single-staff#Single-staff
From this page you can either copypaste the code
directly, or click on the image of the music to
open the file directly (in the latter case you
will need to delete the first three lines). These
files will then compile correctly (I've just tried
it).
From the error message it looks as if you are
inserting braces round the whole. Variable
definitions come before any braces.
I'll add a bit to the manual to make that clear.
