Having trouble with lyrics on an unmetered chant tone

2010-03-26 Thread Michael Dykes
Hullo. I am using lilypond for the first time,  am finding it to be a
delight. I have successfully set a few of the Resurrectional Apolytikia (or
Troparia) in Tones 1-4 using a variety of Russian-based chants in 2 voices.
Now, I am working on Tone V in the Kievan Chant. I am finding that when I
use a syll -- a -- ble that lilypond does not always give me the hyphen I
ask for. attached is my current 'code' (for lack of a better word for it)
for the Tone V. I wish to get a hyphen in the words ``glorious'' 
``Resurrection'' at the places where there is currently an underscore
[except in the last syllable of Resurrection where I have the slur
indicated]. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Having trouble with lyrics on an unmetered chant tone

2010-03-26 Thread Phil Holmes
I think Michael might be pointing out that LilyPond doesn't _always_ place a 
hyphen where you've put a hy -- phen in the lyrics - it chooses whether to 
use one or not based on the spacing of the music.  To me, that's a bonus, 
but it may not be the style he is looking for?


BTW - just one s in resurrection

Re: Corrections for Instructions for cygwin lilypond

2010-03-26 Thread Francisco Vila
2010/3/26 Andrew Senior a...@andrewsenior.com:
 I found these instructions http://lilypond.org/install/cygwin
 via Google and have a couple of fixes to suggest:

 1) the instructions should be referenced from the download page
 http://lilypond.org/install/ - I gave up on a cygwin install when I didn't 
 find it
 there.

True, but the cygwin page has been dropped from the new website (to be
launched soon)

 2) I found that in the cygwin installer lilypond isn't under publishing but
 under interpreters (and the documentation is under docs.)

I think the devel team has nothing to do with this, it's a matter of
the cygwin guys.

Yes it does -- you haven't put the \global (with the key signature) into your

Frescobaldi 1.1.0 (development) released

2010-03-26 Thread Wilbert Berendsen
Hi all,

Frescobaldi 1.1.0 has been released with quite some new features. This is the 
first release in the development (1.1.x) line.

Download: http://lilykde.googlecode.com/files/frescobaldi-1.1.0.tar.gz

Frescobaldi 1.1.x requires Python 2.6 to run and LilyPond 2.13.11 or higher to 
build from SVN or out-of-source (because of the new articulation icons for 
\snappizzicato and \halfopen. Installing the released tarball from within the 
unpacked directory does not require LilyPond).

Changes in 1.1.0:

* It is now possible to use multiple versions of LilyPond easily from within
  Frescobaldi. LilyPond instances can be configured under Settings, Paths.
  There is also a custom Run LilyPond command where a version can be chosen,
  among other options.  And Frescobaldi can be configured to automatically
  choose a LilyPond version according to the document's \version statement.
* Score Wizard, Choir:
  - New lyric option Distribute stanzas to spread the stanzas between
staves.
This option only has effect when there are three or more staves, and is
very useful if there is a large number of stanzas that apply to all
voices.
  - Lyric placement is fine-tuned when LilyPond = 2.13.4 is used, using the
staff-affinity setting, so lyrics are placed close to the staff they
belong to. If lyrics apply to multiple voices, the are centered between
staves. This improves the layout of vocal music if the systems are
vertically streched by LilyPond to fill the page nicely.
  - New checkbox to create rehearsal MIDI files. If checked, one MIDI file is
generated for each voice, with the voice standing out in a clear sound and
the other voices in a lower volume. Repeats are unfolded and lyrics for
the current voice are also added to the MIDI file.
* Score Wizard, Score settings:
  - New checkbox option to wrap the score in a \book block.
* New dialog to insert special characters from the Unicode table, with the
  ability to assign keyboard shortcuts to often used characters.
* New command: Copy Lyrics with hyphenation removed
* Expansion Dialog:
  - has now some documented default keyboard shortcuts
* Quick Insert Panel:
  - New buttons for \halfopen and \snappizzicato
  - It is now possible to assign keyboard shortcuts to the articulation
buttons
* Repeat last expression: don't append space
* Email files: select files with checkboxes instead of Ctrl+Click
* Installation:
  - byte compiling the Python modules can be supressed by adding
-DBYTECOMPILE=NO to the cmake command line
  - building the icons from SVN or out-of-source requires LilyPond 2.13.11+
* Some workarounds for subtle SIP 4.10/KDE 4.4 garbage collection bugs


best regards,
Wilbert Berendsen

staff-space doesn't seem to work as documented

2010-03-26 Thread Phil Holmes
In the PDF documentation for 2.12.3 and the online documentation for 2.13.16 
it gives the syntax for reducing staff spacing as:


\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #1.5

If I use this syntax, I get an error:

error: syntax error, unexpected '{'
\new Staff \with {\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'1.5}
  { c'' c'' c'' 
c'' }



If I use a syntax with parentheses (guessed by trial and error):

\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'( . 1.5)

I compiles and runs successfully.

Code snippets are available if required.

Is this a bug in the documentation?

 However, I still don't know about the tuplets. Is there really no
 way to have tuplets in a lilypond-book excerpt? That sounds weird to
 me. Anyway, if it can't be solved in a standard way, does anybody have
 an idea for a workaround?

You can make an eps/pdf/png/svg and include it into the latex side.

)

I think there needs to be a space after the value 1.5, which should
hopefully fix your problem:

  \new Staff \with {\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'1.5 }

Also, if you format your code on multiple lines, that will work too
(like it appears in the documentation), since line breaks are
considered to be spaces:

  \new Staff \with {
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'1.5
  }

If you want to save yourself an extra keystroke, the 1.5 does not need
to be quoted:

  \new Staff \with {
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #1.5
  }

 If I use a syntax with parentheses (guessed by trial and error):
 
 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #'( . 1.5)

I wouldn't recommend this syntax, since ( . 1.5) is not a valid cons
cell in Scheme.  But that's an interesting observation!

I always forget that. In that case, forcing the breaking with a  
manual \break so that the measure is spread out over a large enough  
space should get that to work. I don't think the hyphenation is meant  
to be where do I want a hypen but rather, where is a hyphen

show.

Sure, the \layout block is currently: \layout {}. Change this to  
\layout { ragged-last=##f}. It will make the last system fill the  
entire line, and the hyphens will show.

BTW - just one s in resurrection

have the slur indicated]. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like your finger slipped and fell on the shift key. If you   
replace __ with --, you should get what you want.

Chords

2010-03-26 Thread David Stocker

I have some questions/concerns about display of chords in LilyPond:

   * Is there a way to make LilyPond center the entire chord symbol
 (root and suffix) on its rhythmic axis? Right now, LilyPond is
 only centering the root on the rhythmic axis, with the suffix
 extending on the right.
   * Does someone on the list have a set of modern custom chord
 definitions? I'd like to make one myself for work I do in the Hal
 Leonard style. If someone has something similar already, I can use
 it as a starting point and share it with the community as I expand
 it, if other may find it useful.

Thanks,

David

Force clef visibility

2010-03-26 Thread Siska Ádám
Hello List,


how can I force a clef appearing even in case the clef doesn't change actually? 
I'm thinking about something like this:

\clef treble
c' \bar | s
\clef treble
d'

How can I force the drawing of the second clef?

Thanks,
Adam

Shapenote project for lilynet

2010-03-26 Thread dadadharma @dslextreme.com
For those interested in shapenote notation.

I've written a few articles for lilynet  started a discussion group (fasoli
= fasola + lilypond).

The basic idea is that many shape note singers will only use a subset of
lilypond, have different names for many things. To cater this particular mix
of cluelessness  enthusiasm.

To join the discussion group,
 either send me personal email,
 or subscribe at http://groups.google.com/group/fasoli?hl=en

The main items I added to lilynet are

Introduction
http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/Shape_note_notation

Template using 49_top of Sacred Harp (Old Hundred)
http://wiki.lilynet.net/index.php/Shapenote_template

With downloadable pdf of that file here
http://www.hosorembo.com/Revival/49t_Old_Hundred.html

Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel or working at cross-purposes with some other
project.

So, feedback would be appreciated.

If you're ever in west Los Angeles area come sing with us on Thursday
nights.
