re: excessively large PDF files produced when lilypond script contains CJK characters
Hello, I'm a Chinese musician, and I know how to produce smaller pdf files. I wrote a song accompanied by orchestra last year. The full score has 13 pages, but the size of the pdf is only 1.30M. If you're running Windows, please use your system's built-in fonts (please use a tool to view the real name of the font, not the filename). For me, I use "仿宋_GB2312". And turn off tagline and point-and-click. Then you'll get a smaller file. If you need an example, I'll send a full package of both source and pdf privately, because the mailinglist can only accept 46Kb a time.

horizontal synchronisation of notation in drum mode
Dear Colleagues, A relative newcomer to Lilypond, I am v. pleased to be able to notate drums in drum mode, and / but— Need your guidance on getting notation on beat in upper and lower voice to same horizontal location. I am typesetting swing-feel cymr in the upper voice and writing figures involving bd, sn & hhp in the lower voice. Decided to use simple eighths notation in upper voice to reduce problems, but still some ambiguity in placement of notes, even when eights in both upper and lower voice. Things getting slightly more out of hand when typesetting triplet figures in lower voice, and need to do this. Also— how to introduce slightly more space to make things more legible? I want to simply s-t-r-e-t-c-h things out a little. Have checked documentation, but still a little unclear. Directions to relevant sections would be most appreciated, if that's all it takes. Your help would be appreciated. Sekantombi ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

My idea is that you should read: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Accidentals-and-key-signatures You DO NOT NEED to use any fancy overrides. You DO NOT NEED to change the Accidental_engraver. You DON'T EVEN NEED to use a ! in your .ly file. Just read "Warning: key signatures and pitches".

For example, it does not permit scaled lyrics to be attached to a voice in the staff, as might be required in an ossia or piano reduction. For that you would need a scaled StaffGroup and a scaled PianoStaff. And what about scaled chords, etc? The present documented method using \with is cumbersome but general. Ok, I didn't think about lyrics etc. So I agree with you, an incomplete solution should not be included in the sources.

If it is a snippet ideally I'd want to do something like: \include "small_staff.lyi" \score { \new SmallStaff {...} } How would one make small_staff.lyi so this worked? This way it would be bundled with the other global variables. The only way I found was to do this: small_staff.lyi = \context { \Score \accepts "SmallStaff" } \context { \Staff \type "Engraver_group" \name "SmallStaff" \alias "Staff" fontSize = #-3 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3) } As the discussion here seems to be stuck, I want to push it a bit :) I'm not keen on including this in the sources as it is not a complete solution. For example, it does not permit scaled lyrics to be attached to a voice in the staff, as might be required in an ossia or piano reduction. For that you would need a scaled StaffGroup and a scaled PianoStaff. And what about scaled chords, etc? The present documented method using \with is cumbersome but general. 1) What about the name? SmallStaff? CueStaff? QuoteStaff? Definitely not CueStaff or QuoteStaff, as it would not be used for cue or quoted notes. ScaledStaff? 2) There seems to be only one reference for font size and staff size, \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #2/3 fontSize = #(magnification->font-size 2/3) as Mark Polesky pointed out. Is this widely acceped? If it is to be useful there should be a way of specifying the scale of the reduction (or expansion). 3) Should this definition go to ly/engraver-init.ly, or should a seperate file be provided? It should go in the LSR 4) Where should this feature be documented? Is input.itely the right place? No. If a scaled staff definition is to be included in the sources (and I oppose this) there are many places in the documentation that would need to be changed. There's no point in making this change unless all the documentation is changed to use it. So at least the following need attention: NR 1.6.1 for the basic definition NR 1.6.2 Ossia staves NR 5.1.1 Contexts explained LM 4.3.2 Size of objects (extensively) LM 4.3.3 Length and thickness of objects plus a number of snippets used in the docs which scale staves.

boxed measures
Dear community, I would like to do something like You can see in the attached image. I don't mean the feathered beams (I know how this can be done) but the boxed bars, followed by the dotted lines. I have no idea how to do this in Lilypond. A hint would be great! Thanks Stefan <>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
