Re: One Line Column Markup
Thanks James, I've just check that and doesn't work :(
It still gives me the same.
What I need its like having a new character consisting in the a in \super
mode with a dot under it.
4. \super a %with the a aligned over the dot
is that posible? Or ill have to investigate in the creation of chars in a
font-set :\ ?
Thanks again!

Re: hymns: chords vs. voices
Thanks to all for the replies. An approach using chord structure would seem
difficult, since the voices are not kept separate. The \\ and { }
\\ {} structures should work, but don't seem very elegant compared to
writing separate voices. After some initial discussion with someone in the
project group, I had all but decided to go with voices written separately on
the staves (standard polyphony), and had typed up several songs that way.
Then I got feedback from someone else that the chord notation for choir is
also widely adopted in Europe, and also took a closer look at Carl's
example.

Mike,
Hymns are one of my major uses for LilyPond. I prefer the chord method,
as
it's standard in the US. I do it using partcombine, with a hack that
lyrics
are set to a hidden voice that's up an octave.
I've attached a copy of a hymn that I've written, to show how this works.
Carl's method of using partcombine allows for keeping the voice inputs
separate. This makes the code clearer, and is encouraging since it's still
undecided which notation to adopt; by changing a few declarations I could
use either method (minus tweaks).
Carl, I went about implementing my own instance of a song and quickly ran
into three snags, which, although not covered by your example, are common.
The snags are described below, and I've extracted four measures and attached
them as an example for illustration. Would you mind sharing your experience
on how you deal with them?
http://old.nabble.com/file/p27207893/sample2.png
1. Notes of common pitch and duration result in the text a2 being set
above the staff (to notate a due), as in measures 1, 2, and 4. The hymnal I
have that uses chord notation (Songs of Faith and Praise) sets displays
this as two separate voices (i.e., an exception to the chord notation) with
one note head and a stem in each direction, as this snippet would produce:
\relative c'' { b \\ b }
The manual says setting printPartCombineTexts to false suppresses the a
due marking. Do you modify the behavior to add a second stem, or just accept
the default with one stem?
A related issue is how collision avoidance is handled. I changed the alto
voice in measure 2 to have a b-flat in order to show that partcombine uses
one stem with two note heads, whereas it's preferable to use standard
polyphony (creating an exception from the chord notation), as discussed in
my previous post.
2. As in your example, the lyrics are set to an extra instance of the
soprano voice, which is set an octave above and hidden. The slur in measure
3, however, is visible.
3. Chords within a voice cause the voices to be typeset separately, as in
the bass clef in measure four. I intuitively expected partcombine to use one
stem.
I need to learn about using \context vs. \new declarations, and study up on
the effects of \shiftOnn, which in this example caused some misalignment of
lyrics, but this is looks promising.
Thanks for your help,
Mike

I set printPartCombineTexts to #f. I have just lived with it. But given
your experience with chords, I decided to try putting a chord with a
transparent note in the voice that needed the extra stem:
soprano = \relative c'' {
a f e d |
e g c b
}
alto = \relative c' {
c d c d \tweak #'transparent ##t b |
c g' \tweak #'transparent ##t e g f
}
\score {
\partcombine \soprano \alto
}
It worked (although in the first case (the d) there is an unwanted ledger
line; we could also make the ledger lines transparent to avoid that
problem).
I'm looking at the possibility of writing a music function that will
automatically do this, but I haven't got it to work yet.
A related issue is how collision avoidance is handled. I changed the alto
voice in measure 2 to have a b-flat in order to show that partcombine uses
one stem with two note heads, whereas it's preferable to use standard
polyphony (creating an exception from the chord notation), as discussed in

I suspect this can also be fixed by adding a chord with a second note having
a transparent head.
2. As in your example, the lyrics are set to an extra instance of the

In the hidden voice, add

This will hide the slurs.
3. Chords within a voice cause the voices to be typeset separately, as in
the bass clef in measure four. I intuitively expected partcombine to use one

I think that you want them to have different stems, so you can see which
part is split.
I need to learn about using \context vs. \new declarations, and study up on
the effects of \shiftOnn, which in this example caused some misalignment of
lyrics, but this is looks promising.
\new creates a new context
\context switches to an existing context, and creates a new one if the
context doesn't exist.

Hello,
I'm sure this is in the docs somewhere;
I've checked the index, sections 4.4 4.5, and the
snippets list, but I can't figure out how to write some
text (\markup?) above the clefs.
Well, actually there is a bug with MetronomeMark (\tempo) which
prevents to align it the right way (i.e. left-aligned on time
signature for \tempo text).
See:
684: Enhancement: MetronomeMark should support break-align-symbols
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=684
and the discussion Tempo mark alignment
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-05/msg00521.html
2010/1/18 Dmytro O. Redchuk brownian@gmail.com:
I believe you can use \markup and take a look at selected snippets here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/writing-text#text-marks
(Aligning marks with various notation objects)
As a workaroud I use this user-defined TempoMark command for textual
tempo marks (it is based on RehearsalMark, as suggested by Dmytro):
tempoMark = #(define-music-function (parser location markp) (string?)
#{
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-align-symbols =
#'(time-signature key-signature)
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'break-align-anchor-alignment = #LEFT
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #1
\mark \markup { \bold $markp }
#})
To be used with the following syntax, for example
\tempoMark Allegro
It aligns LEFT on time signature (as I have seen it on numerous
scores). I use this while still hoping somebody will fix
MetronomeMark. Is has the drawback that you can't use another
RehearsalMark (\mark) simultaneously.
Cheers,
Xavier

Re: tempo text
Hi Xavier, Well, actually there is a bug with MetronomeMark (\tempo) I don't believe it's a bug… it's officially an enhancement request. ;) which prevents to align it the right way (i.e. left-aligned on time signature for \tempo text). Correct. However, that still doesn't mean we should overload the RehearsalMark to do tempo indications. [I used to do this, so I'm not being holier than thou…] We should: 1. Use MetronomeMark, which can be #'X-offset tweaked to line up correctly. 2. Keep pushing/begging for someone to add the feature you pointed out.

Vertical spacing between staves with lyrics and ones without
Dears list, I have a little problem with the spacing between staves with lyrics. When all the voices are singing and every voice has it's text, everything is ok and evenly spaced. But when one or more voices are silent the vertical space between the silent voices is reduced, giving a very ugly layout, with the silent staves all compressed and a huge space between the stave(s) with text.

Re: hymns: chords vs. voices
Carl Sorensen-3 wrote:
I set printPartCombineTexts to #f. I have just lived with it. But given
your experience with chords, I decided to try putting a chord with a
transparent note in the voice that needed the extra stem:
soprano = \relative c'' {
a f e d |
e g c b
}
alto = \relative c' {
c d c d \tweak #'transparent ##t b |
c g' \tweak #'transparent ##t e g f
}
\score {
\partcombine \soprano \alto
}
It worked (although in the first case (the d) there is an unwanted ledger
line; we could also make the ledger lines transparent to avoid that
problem).
I'm looking at the possibility of writing a music function that will
automatically do this, but I haven't got it to work yet.
This does work, though I found another limitation. Because you have to place
the note head about one staff space down in order to avoid horizontal
displacement of the phantom note head, the stem protrudes further down (or
up, as the case may be) than normal. Compare this solution with the standard
polyphonic stem lengths using this snippet:
%===
soprano = \relative c'' {
a f e d |
e g c b
}
alto = \relative c' {
c d c d \tweak #'transparent ##t b |
c g' \tweak #'transparent ##t e g f
}
altoPoly = \relative c' {
c d c d |
c g' g f
}
\score {
\new Staff { \partcombine \soprano \alto }
\new Staff { \soprano \\ \altoPoly }
}
%===
Carl Sorensen-3 wrote:
A related issue is how collision avoidance is handled. I changed the alto
voice in measure 2 to have a b-flat in order to show that partcombine
uses
one stem with two note heads, whereas it's preferable to use standard
polyphony (creating an exception from the chord notation), as discussed
in
my previous post.
I suspect this can also be fixed by adding a chord with a second note
having
a transparent head.
I tried it with the same two measures, and it works with the same
limitations regarding ledger lines and stem lengths. For example, modify the
alto parts of the above snippet:
%===
alto = \relative c' {
c d d \tweak #'transparent ##t b d \tweak #'transparent ##t b |
c g' \tweak #'transparent ##t e g f
}
altoPoly = \relative c' {
c d d d |

I think that you want them to have different stems, so you can see which
part is split.
I should think that I would, too, if I were preparing pieces for a practiced
choir whom the conductor expected to sing their parts—but this is
congregational singing, so pick-and-choose is the order of the day. =) It's
also written like that in my reference, and in any case, if I so desire it
can be achieved by writing the full chord in one voice and using a silent
rest in the other.
So far, so good; this is a viable alternative. Again, thanks for your
help... this is fun.

I note you're using \relative - make sure you know relative to what.

If you need some way of fixing things getting too high (and it doesn't

Newbie though I may be, you'll find a

While waiting for a more authoritative answer: If you want to change for a
specific stanza, you could change it there. Otherwise, in the middle of
everything, you need an \override inside the \lyricmode, specifying what
property you want changed. The example in the linked thread cites changing
font size, so here's a snippet using that for you.

For other properties, refer to the Learning Manual, 4. Tweaking output and

I don't find your question very clear. If you mean something like, I'd like
to add the letter H as a rehearsal mark without having listed all of the

Plenty of other of examples in that section.

Hi,
I use the following to get a centered header on all pages and page

How can I avoid the page number on the first page?

Hi Thomas,
Based on comparing your code to section 4.1.2, Page formatting of the
Notation Reference, you should preface
\fromproperty
with
\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
Then don't forget to add print-first-page-number = ##f to the \paper block.
Like so:
%===
\paper {
print-page-number = ##t
print-first-page-number = ##f
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { A /Z \on-the-fly
#print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } }
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup { \fill-line { \on-the-fly
#print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string A
/Z } }
}

Re: Question about scheme engravers
On 1/18/10 2:41 PM, Eric Knapp ekn...@gmail.com wrote: Hello, everyone. I'm working on creating engravers in scheme. I have the example from here: http://codereview.appspot.com/181109/show In the example file named, scheme-engraver.ly there is this piece of code: (cons 'rest-event (lambda (engraver event) (let* ((x (ly:engraver-make-grob engraver 'TextScript event))) (display (list caught event event \ncreate:\n x \n)) (ly:grob-set-property! x 'text hi)) )) If there's a rest in the notation code like this, c-2\61 r2, then the above display function will output this: (caught event #Prob: Stream_event C++: Stream_event((music-cause . #Prob: Music C++: Music((length . #Mom 1/2) (elements) (duration . #Duration 2 ) (origin . #location scheme-engraver.ly:23:11))((display-methods #procedure #f (rest parser)) (name . RestEvent) (types general-music event rhythmic-event rest-event)) ) (length . #Mom 1/2) (elements) (duration . #Duration 2 ) (origin . #location scheme-engraver.ly:23:11))((class . rest-event)) Here's my question. How do I access elements in the event? For example, the duration of the rest is shown above as, (duration . #Duration 2). I would like to have an if statement look at the duration variable and do something based on the value. What would an if for that look like? First, you want to extract the music from the stream event, I think (ly:event-property event 'Music) (but I'm not sure about this step) Once you have the music, then you get the elements of the music: (ly:music-property music 'elements) Now, elements is a list of music elements, so you'll want to get the duration from the first element of elements: (ly:music-property (car elements) 'duration) As you can probably tell, I'm also learning scheme. I've been looking for a reason to learn scheme and the new capability of writing scheme engravers has hooked me! Looks like you're doing a good job of it! Thanks for the help in advance, this is getting exciting. I think so! HTH, Carl P.S.

It's a little tricky because your entry will be converted to a lyric
context
to create chords now but what you want is easily achieved, just type
a-m7f5 .

Well, I hope I got your problem right: In Germany that's called 'halb
vermindert' (the English translation might be 'half diminished' (dunno if
that's correct), and for that the notation 'ø' is just fine, as a diminished
chord would get '⁰' (without the line). Maybe there is something like
\semiGermanChords (within the chords section) for your preferred typesetting,
too.
