Re: Strange message with autochange
Mats Bengtsson-4 wrote: Well, if you manage to describe how that should work. If you imagine yourself in the role of the autochanger, how would you react if somebody else did some extra staff changes every now and then. When should you start doing your ordinary job after such a change? What might make sense, in such a situation, is the possibility to temporarily turn off the autochange functionality in the middle of a score and then turn it on again some measures later. I wouldn't be surprised if that's already very easy to do, since most of the functionality is implemented in Scheme. /Mats Well, say if, for starters, the autochanger was given options to a) recognize rests as notes, and b) be given a wider threshold to change; for example, if on the upper staff, you could make it so that it didn't change until it had gone down to, say, an A or a B, and ditto for maybe D, or E, from the bottom staff. If they were overrides, then that would be quite useful, because then you could switch them on and off at will. Also, how about if the autochanger was able to take some user action in its stride, and if said user action violated one of its inbuilt rules, it accepted the user's decision and kept mum about potential errors for consecutive notes until the situation changed? For example, if the autochange function had moved two bars' worth of notes onto the wrong staff, then if I changed it, then the autochanger would automatically apply the manual change to the next note, and all consecutive notes thereafter which was affected, until a note crossed the boundary again? -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Strange-message-with-autochange-tp27710824p27753196.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The main point of confusion is that you cannot do what seems most
intuitive, namely to use the \\ construct. You will never be able
to make this point in the manual, unless you also include an example of
what does not work. I was convinced that I had seen such an example
somewhere in the documentation, but cannot find it right now.
Here's a version of James' example that does not do what most users
intuitively would expect.
\version 2.12.3
vocals = \relative {
c4 d e f

\new Lyrics \lyricsto vocals \textAll

Note also that this problem must be pointed out both when talking about
the \\ construct and when talking about \lyricsto.
Ok. Could somebody make up a patch that adds Mats' example, then
James' example, into a **new** node in the LM, immediately after
Voice and Vocals? Call it something like... err... well, come up
with some witty name to do with voices not working, or lyrics not
printed, or whatever.
That way, if the \\ construct gets fixed, we can easily
remove that portion.

I have now changed my little guitar score

to
\relative c { \clef treble_8 \myguitarmusicnotes }
which does exactly what I want. No \transpose needed this way.
But I still don't understand how to do this without the little 8 printed

Alternatively you could override the clef stencil, e.g.:

Well, based on my (brief, wholly inadequate...) experience, based purely
on LaTeX and never before touching on Lilypond, a file that compiles
with pdflatex should also compile with xelatex -- the converse of course
is not true, because xelatex allows for utf-8 input and has nice
features to let it work with OTF fonts.
A couple of brief tests saw no problem with doing the following:
lilypond-book --pdf myfile.lytex
xelatex myfile.tex
... although problems do emerge if the --pdf option is left out. Not
sure why.
For a further test I added a line
\usepackage{libertine}
to the .lytex file, which calls the xelatex-only Linux Libertine OTF
font package. I got a warning while running lilypond-book:
--
LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/fxl/m/n' undefined
(Font) using `OT1/cmr/m/n' instead on input line 6.
textwidth=345.0pt
columnsep=10.0pt
(./tmpdr5SNl.aux)
LaTeX Font Warning: Some font shapes were not available, defaults
substituted.
--
... but the output doesn't appear to be affected: the Linux Libertine
font appeared without problem in the text of the document, and the
Lilypond musical extracts used their normal default fonts.
So my feeling is that xelatex is probably substantially fine to use as
the .tex compiler, so long as lilypond-book is run with the --pdf
option. There are probably tweaks that can be made, but much will work
without them.
Best wishes,

Basically, lilypond-book just replaces blocks of LilyPond code with a
number of
\includegraphics{...}
commands, so as long as you use a latex variant that understands the
\includegraphics command then it should work out of the box.
However, I just simplified things a bit. What really happens, in
addition to what I just said, is that lilypond-book extracts the head of
the file (everything before \begin{document}) and copies it into a
temporary file where the main part of the file has been replaced by a
few \typeout commands that spit out information on the line width used
in the document, when the temporary file is ran through latex. This is
then used in lilypond-book to automatically set the line width of each
lilypond score to match the line width used in the text parts of the
document. By default, the temporary file is ran through latex, but you
can change this using
lilypond-book --latex-program=xelatex ...
or whatever latex variant you want to use. In recent lilypond versions,
it automatically uses pdflatex if you specify the --pdf flag.
Without knowing anything specifically about xelatex, I don't really see
what would have to be changed in lilypond-book itself to support
xelatex. Please try using
lilypond-book --latex-program=xelatex ...
and see if there are any remaining problems.

default beaming
Hi,
When I write \times 2/3 { c8 c16 c8. } the second beam of the sixteenth note
goes to the left which in my opinion is wrong.
Am I missing something or do I have to overwrite the default settings? (if yes,
how can I do that permanently for the whole score?)
Thanks for an answer,
ole
%%%
\version 2.13.7
\times 2/3 { c8 c16 c8. }
\times 2/3 { c8
\set stemRightBeamCount = #2
\set stemLeftBeamCount = #1
c16 c8. }

Re: Ambitus

But wouldn't scores in a book use separate engraver instantiations and

Not until Nicolas's commit today.
In any case, it doesn't seem appropriate to use a scheme engraver
here, since there are no grobs created or context properties set.
Uh, what's with the $defaultheader here?
Oops, I missed a rather important line when pasting, which should make it clear:
\header { subtitle = \markup \fromproperty #'header:ambitus }
(ly:parser-define! parser 'pitches '())
(ly:parser-define! parser 'key-list '())
What does that do? Why per-parser?
It's equivalent to doing
pitches = #'()
key-list = #'()
or
#(define pitches '())
#(define key-list '())
They're just global variables used to store information from the music
so it can be passed to the ambitus markup.
(let* ((global (ly:make-global-context $defaultlayout))
(listener (ly:make-listener process-event))
(global-disp (ly:context-events-below global)))
(ly:connect-dispatchers (ly:make-dispatcher) global-disp)
(add-stream-listener global listener 'note-event 'key-change-event
'Finish)
(ly:interpret-music-expression music global)
music))
What does this do? Route the music expression through a parser with a
simple listener, then regurgitate it for the outer context?
It just interprets the parsed music expression and listens for some
interesting events (it's a lazy way of getting information out of the
music).
It would seem that this approach would not work when you want, say, an
ambitus per Voice, and the input is not continuous, but repeatedly
switches between contexts.
Then you don't have the whole music available as one music expression.
True, though it's only designed to work with songs having a single vocal line.

Neil

a \new Score question
I know that doing \new Score is generally not recommended, but in the
process of helping someone I came across a couple of questions, and
the only solution I could find required me to do \new Score. First,
the goal here is have a score with four separate staves, but an
ambitus that encompasses all of them; it's a canon.
\version 2.12.3
erster = \relative c'' { \repeat volta 4 { c d e f g2 g c,1 } }
zweiter = \relative c'' { \repeat volta 4 { c2 a h4 a g f g1 } }
dritter = \relative g' { \repeat volta 4 { g4 f2 d4 d1 e } }
vierter = \relative c' { \repeat volta 4 { c1 g2 h c1 } }
\new Score \with { \consists Ambitus_engraver } {
\new Staff \erster
\new Staff \zweiter
\new Staff \dritter
\new Staff \vierter
}
This generates almost the desired effect. I have all four staves and
an ambitus that encompasses all of them. Problems:
• The ambitus shows up in the last system
• I get errors in my compile: programming error: tried to get a
translation for something that is no child of mine six times.
• adding \layout {} or \midi {} to the \new Score results in a fatal
error and no output is produced
• compiling with 2.13.14, the ambitus shows up below the systems,
i.e., not on a staff, but floating below.
My questions:
• Is it possible to force the Ambitus to show up in the first system?
• Are the errors something to worry about?
• Is it possible to have \layout {} or \midi {} with \new Score {}?
• Since it's probably a bug that it worked in 2.12, should I be
concerned with the 2.13 output?

Mats, shouldn't this be either \clef treble_8 or \transposition c,
otherwise the MIDI will be an octave too low?

This is often a good idea since it enables you to adapt the midi in other
ways... for instance:
\score { \new Staff { \transpose c' c { \unfoldRepeats \guitarMusic} } \midi {}
}
\score { \new Staff { \guitarMusic } \layout {} }
