Re: Piano Staff: Templates: Centered Dynamics.

hi Ferran

please always try to keep your examples or your code very small - this
avoids running after problems that do not really exist! it is also good
practice not to change too many things at a time!

now, have you tried to compile my little example (including your music)?
what are the results?



Hello! 

Thank you, now it works!
A new problem has arisen, but that's another thing.
Goodbye!

Re: Add prefix to lyrics

2010-09-04 Thread Alexander Kobel 
[repost to -user; I guess the attachments were too large.  What's the 
maximum message size for the mailing list?]


On 2010-09-03 10:47, Werner LEMBERG wrote:

will font's hyphen be acceptable for lyrics as a _minimally_
acceptable.


I think the answer is yes.  However, this is my feeling and not based
on facts.  Maybe someone has some time to investigate that by checking
various vocal scores of various publishers.


I just checked with Carus, Edition Peters (Schott), Breitkopf & Härtel 
and Bärenreiter Urtext scores.  (Sorry, no scans, just digicam photos 
for now.)



I'm not very fond of Carus prints (though they have good ones) and don't 
really consider them as guidance, so I keep this short: They leave out 
hyphens if necessary, and they all have the same length.  They seem to 
use the hyphen of the current font, since they have different 
thicknesses in the italics and the upright fonts for the different 
languages (nearly unrecognizable in the digicam shots).



In the Peters, hyphens seem to have all equal length, and equal 
position.  It's hard to tell the thickness due to the printout (the ink 
slightly erodes (correct term?)), but it looks like the usual hyphen of 
the font, compared to the introductory preface.  If necessary, the 
hyphen is left out completely.



In the Bärenreiter editions I have here, such a tight setting is _very_ 
rare.  Scores have a lot of white space, at the cost of thicker books 
and more page turns.  Even if spacing is close, they try to shift the 
syllables a bit to gain free space.  But I finally found some situations.
They _seem_ (can't really guarantee, again the ink is slightly washed 
out) to apply kerning to the hyphen if necessary: in "sol - vet", the 
dash is lowered to nearly the middle of the horizontal line of the "e" 
and the baseline, and shifted under the left part of the "v" to gain 
some space.  (Sorry, I closed the book and don't remember the right page 
for a scan.)
If even this does not work, the hyphen is left out altogether, and - if 
still necessary - the characters are squeezed more than normal.  (In the 
attached file, check out "ihnen geht ein" in the top right corner, 
compared to the second system's lyrics.)
Again, the length of the dashes seem constant throughout the book; the 
glyph looks exactly the same as in normal text in the prefatory matter.



Breitkopf & Härtel certainly do not use the font's dash glyph: Their 
hyphens are on the baseline, as the extenders (at least in this print of 
Brahms: "Ein deutsches Requiem"), which looks very odd.  Lengths are all 
the same, and if necessary, hyphens are just left out.


For all publishers: If hyphens are left out, all publishers write the 
syllables as close together as if it were just one syllable.  I could 
not find thin spaces in between, which sometimes appear in LilyPond's 
output.



On a sidenote, I'm surprised that none of the publishers I remember 
right out of my head seems to use a condensed font for lyrics - or they 
may just have some that good that I just don't recognize them as 
condensed fonts at the first glance.



Cheers,
Alexander

You continue to ignore the evident fact that the English "ledger"
and French "leger" are not the same word. Since the spelling
"leger" was in use to indicate the slight lines, and since
"leger" was not used for a beam or large book, the conclusion
must be that "leger lines" is correct and "ledger lines" is using
the wrong word. *You* must prove that "leger" and "ledger" are
variations of the same word, and they obviously are not, because
accountants do not use the spelling "leger". Most of your
authorities had no idea either that there was such a French word
as "leger", or its meaning, or had enough acquaintance with music
to relate it to the Italian "leggiero". That's a pretty sorry
performance, don't you think? Regards, daveA

Only integers are allowed for 'line-positions in a DrumStaff.  This
can be easily fixed, though I'm not sure what to suggest for the
stable version.

Perhaps you could try refactoring the line positions then scaling down
the staff-space to compensate (untested).

Overlap Beams in Time?

2010-09-04 Thread PMA 

Dear List:

First, thank you for Lilypond -- this wonderful tool -- and for 
accepting my subscription.


I am placing noteheads, and using beams, in a way that has little to do 
with common usage.
Lilypond has to a considerable extent "played along", as you'll see in 
the attached example.


But you see also what I *can't* make Lilypond do: overlap beams symbols 
in *time*.  I want

a separate beam above the staff, connecting those A's.

Metrically of course that's preposterous, so if I code the 2nd set of 
"[...]"s, Lilypond screams
	Preprocessing graphical objects...ERROR: Wrong type (expecting real

#

Does anybody know a way around this predicament?  I've scoured the docs 
and wiki in vain.


All ideas will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Peter A.

P.S.  My last resort would be to add the second beam later -- by force 
-- within a PDF editor.
   But accuracy in that context is tough, and I haven't yet seen 
such an editor with Undo.

Problem with volta alternatives and time signature

2010-09-04 Thread Tony Hogard 

I have a strange issue with time signatures in alternatives:

 \time 9/8
 \repeat volta 2 
  { e8[ e b' e,] c'[ c b g g]  a[ a d a] f'[ f e c c] }  
\alternative {  
   { \time 7/8 a[ a] bes a[ a] f[ f] }
   { \time 7/8 g[ a] g[  g] f  g[ g] }

This results in the proper 7/8 time for the first ending, but the second is back
in 9/8.  What am I missing?

Here is some code that get the beams you want, but I'm not sure if it's what
you hade in mind.

\version "2.13.30"

\new Staff {
  \clef bass
  <<  
  \new Voice {

  }

If you really want to add the second beam later, you probably should do it
in SVG form with an SVG editor like Inkscape.  It has all the Undo you need,
and you can actually edit the source file if you want to get more precise
than you can with the mouse.

You have a few places where there are glissandos spanning a barline.
Line breaks will be forbidden at these points unless you allow
glissandos to be breakable:

The values following the dots are ignored, so it's equivalent to this:

Try adding \null to the end of the second markup.  This will make it

Thanks for the report, Paul.

The segfault is triggered by the presence of the full-bar rest in the
lower stave: it prevents the setting of a horizontal parent for the
MetronomeMark, which means it never gets attached to a paper column.
Fortunately it's fixed by the patch I've already prepared here:
http://codereview.appspot.com/2042043/

I'll apply the patch once I've sorted out a few additions for
regression testing.

While you're waiting for this to be fixed, you can use the following workaround:

\once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'non-break-align-symbols = #'()

Cheers,
Neil

This is probably the same bug as 1229.  Notes on leger lines with stems
pointing away from the staff are apparently not considered as part of the
staff when considering x-extent.

Thanks,

Center entire markup block

2010-09-04 Thread Christopher Meredith 
I have a couple of markup blocks which are currently left aligned
which I would like to be centered on the page. The following snippet
is the section in question and it contains solutions from the LSR as
well as other projects. In other words, I know it works but I don't
know exactly how.

http://pastebin.com/FTinRLWx

I've tried everything I can think of. Can someone point out what I
would need to do to center this? Thanks.

Lilypond on IMSLP

2010-09-04 Thread madMuze 

“Troisième livre d’orgue des huit tons de l’eglise” by Guillaume-Gabriel
Nivers is now available at 
http://imslp.org/wiki/Troisi%C3%A8me_livre_d%E2%80%99orgue_des_huit_tons_de_l%E2%80%99%C3%A9glise_%28Nivers,_Guillaume-Gabriel%29
imslp . The music (but not the prefatory text) was typeset in Lilypond to
standards not entirely unlike current keyboard notation practice, but with
some old-timey beaming and rhythmic irregularities left in just for fun.

Feel free to let me know what you think of it; any really nasty comments you
don't want to post here are most welcome at  http://camerondh.blogspot.com/
my blog .

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributes to this project. I was a
power SCORE user for big typesetting houses way back in the '90s, but I feel
Lilypond finally makes it possible for me to get exactly what I want on the
page, especially when it isn't “standard” practice.

Marten,

When I typset your example with 2.13-30, I get the following notation. Looks 
like whatever was happening to you is corrected on 2.13.30.

Wrap everything in a \center-column. That should work.
