Re: [Fwd: lilypond on eee pc]
Hello eeePc-Users, Ubuntu and Kubuntu both come in 'netbook remix' form. I think that has more to do with user interface than with size of the install, but it's worth looking into. That's right, I am using Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an eeepc 900a. I think its worth looking at ubuntu.com to see, if the model is supported well. Ubuntu has the stable (2.12) release of Lilypond in its repositories and I think there is someone who maintains a Launchpad PPA with the latest 2.13 and other related packages. Yes, the UNR is a complete distro, so you have to watch your diskspace, but it means you can install anything incuding lilypond. I used the distro version 2.12.1 and lately installed 2.13.5 from the x86-any-download. Both run fine here :) This is not a good workingmachine because: I get headaches from working on a 7 screen ;) But its really great that I can fix mistakes and typos on the road and print resulting PDFs almost anywhere I find a printer! It should be possible to try a live-image, if there is enough memory.

Re: [Fwd: lilypond on eee pc]
I tried the Xandros distribution but soon realised that many of the applications i needed to run just would not run right on Xandros. My Eee Pc 1000 only startedd performing well for me when I installed Easy Peasy. It is a Netbook version of Ubuntu. However, I really hated the desktop setup which the Ubuntu folks seem so proud of. I eventually settled on EEEbuntu. It is also a Ubuntu type distribution but without the Netbook-type button desktop. I am happy with this distribution and recomend it because of its basically uncluttered look. You *must* visit the Netbook Kernel repository at www.array.org . . There you will find custom kernels for any of the Asus netbooks as well as some others. These kernels enable ease, the wireless networking as well as many of the other functions controlled by special key combinations. The standard version of Lilypond in Ubuntu Jaunty is 2.12.0 which I believe is Lilypond's stable version. However, the unstable 2.13 versions will work just as well using the install script from lilypond. The only problem I am having currently is that jEdit hangs half-way through start-up. This is a new problem so it is not a problem with the hardware or distribution itself. Its some configuration problem which I have yet to find a solution for. All told, I'm quite happy with my eee pc 1000 running linux, just not the Xandros pre-installed version. cheers, davidf 2009/10/5 Jan-Peter Voigt jp.vo...@gmx.de: Hello eeePc-Users, Ubuntu and Kubuntu both come in 'netbook remix' form.

a way to make the midi play faster without adding any symbols to the

title on a separate page
Hello folks,
I am very sorry in case this is a FAQ. I am quite new to lilypond and
maybe did not search the right places.
I would like to have lilypond generate the title on a page of its own. I
tried with
\paper{
%...
paper-height = 7.425\cm
after-title-space = 7.425\cm
%...
}
but lilypond decided that at least one line of music needs to be on the
first page. A sensible decision normally, but not what I want...
In fact, what I try to archieve is the output of one line of notes per
page (thus the small paper-height), and the page reduced to a size that is
just big enough. I tried to use pdfcrop to set the paper sizes
appropriately, and it works quite well but for the first page. So my plan
was to introduce a first page that can savely be disregarded.
Does anyone here know how to solve my problem? In case that matters, I run
lilypond on a SuSE 11.1.
Thanks in advance,
Susan

Lute tablature is different from guitar in that the bass strings are indicated by symbols under the tab lines. This would be one of the changes required. There are also many different styles. LP can be configured to produce tabs for any number of strings and tunings, so that requirement is met already. Fonts for the special symbols used in It is Baroque Lute TAB (in the French, German, English style). would also be required. Fronimo uses its own custom fonts for this style. They are licensed with the phrase: The fonts coming with Fronimo are given for free, but their use is restricted to non commercial purposes for unregistered users.

By the way... The coordinate system for slur control points is always a
staff-space per unit in x and y, with origin at the default start
position of the slur, right?
Is it possible to map this to, say,
[0, 1] ~ [x_start, x_end] in x-direction, and
[0, 1] ~ [0, 1 staff-space] in y-direction?
This would give manual settings at least a bit of robustness against
varying line-breaks.

Re:title on a separate page (Susan Dittmar)
Dear All,
I was very interested in the correspondence about a title-page.
I noticed that Kieren's solution seemed to ignore the original header
information and insert another markup for it while Valentin's
solution produced very small titles while using \book so I took
the liberty of combining the two solutions:
%start of file
\version 2.10.33
% I strongly recommend using 2.12 or 2.13!
#(define-markup-command (vspace layout props amount) (number?)
This produces a invisible object taking vertical space.
(ly:make-stencil (cons -1 1) (cons 0 amount))
(ly:make-stencil (cons -1 1) (cons amount amount)))
\paper {
print-page-number=##f
ragged-bottom=##t
ragged-last-bottom=##t
print-all-headers = ##t
}
#(set-global-staff-size 14)
\header {
title = \markup \center-column { \vspace #64 \fontsize #18 Mask }
% poet = Eva Wiest
subtitle = \markup \center-column { \vspace #64 \fontsize #12 Eva Wiest }
copyright = Eva Wiest (http://summerandfall.de/)
tagline = ##f
}
melody = \relative c' {
a'1 ~ a2
a4 b4 c2 c4 c4 b2 c4 b4 a2 a4 g4 e2
a4 b4 c2 c4 c4 b2 a4 g4 a1 ~ a2
a4 b4
}
textI = \lyricmode {
She
She is cold as blue ice with a face of gra -- nite,
she will ne -- ver give up or give in,
She won't
}
guitar = \chordmode {
a1:m f a:m g a:m e
a:m g f r
}
\book {
\pageBreak
\score {
\new ChordNames { \set chordChanges = ##t \guitar }
\new Voice = one { \clef treble \melody }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto one { \textI }
\layout { indent = 0.0\cm }
\header {
title = Mask
subtitle =
composer = Composed by Eva Wiest
poet = Lyrics by Eva Wiest
}
}
}
%end of file
To get another header on the second page, you insert the \header {}
into the \score but *after* the music. Also I had to put \subtitle =
to stop part of the first header from repeating itself.
Also,
print-all-headers = ##t
has to go in \paper {}
Thanks to Kieren and Valentin for elucidating this problem.
(And thanks to Susan for asking the question)
I can now place this code in my archive for future use.
