Details of incremental z changes to Lilypond

2010-09-08 Thread Reg Ludions

Hello list

is there a way to see the changes to Lilypond with each incremental development 
version (the zs in version x.y.z), as against the changes between y 
versions? I can't seem to locate this in the various versions of the docs - are 
details only (presumably) to be found in a change log in the full source code 
change log?

Regards

Tom

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to create metronome beats to a melody which has 
variable times (4/4, 6/8, etc). Is there a function to make it 
automatically? 

Thanks,

tabulatures and stems

2010-09-08 Thread bart deruyter
Hi,

I have recently started using lilypond, but there are some things that don't
seem ok. Following the documentation I started writing a tabulature for
guitar. The documentation shows the fret numbers and stems, but when I copy
and paste the code in frescobaldi, the generated output does not show stems.

The problem was first the svg export. In order to get correct svg's (I need
them for editing them for graphical elements in a book I'm writing), I
installed version 2.13.32. Seeing examples on the lilypond site about the
differences between 2.12 and 2.13 versions, I see that there are no stems on
the 2.13 examples either. How do I add them anyway? Is this feature broken,
or do I add some extra code to add stems to the tabulature, and if so, which
code? If it is broken, which version do I need to install to get correct svg
output and stems in the tabulature?

greets,
Bart

You have to add the command

\tabFullNotation

to make the stems visible.

such material.  (before that, though, I'd like a user to volunteer
to add material to the Changes manual, so that at least people can
see what's different between 2.12 and 2.14 !)

For the record, I would be happy to include this information in my

Centered Rests (= in the middle of the staff) in a multi-voice staff, without using note\rest

2010-09-08 Thread Ferran Auban

Hello Lilypoind community!

When you typeset a one-voice-staff, the rests are usually placed in the
middle of it.
However, if there two voices, some will be printed on the top of it and
others on the bottom, even if the other voice is inactive (with invisible
rests).

Is there any way to put all the rests in the center of the staff without
manually ubicating them with \rest?

Thank you!

Beaming grace notes across staves

2010-09-08 Thread Ferran Auban

Hello!
I have got an extrange problem. I had typesetted some works with groups of
grace notes that begun in a staff and ended in another, and I had no
problems. 

However, if I apply the same methods to a group of (beamed) grace notes that
has the only first note on one staff an the rest in another, it does not
work.

Here is what I would like to do:

\change Staff=inf \grace  { b, c16  \stemDown \change Staff=sup [e16
g16 b16 e16]  }

It does not work.

However, if I put the staff change one note later, it works:

\change Staff=inf \grace  { b, c16  [e16 \stemDown \change Staff=sup
g16 b16 e16]  }

It also works if I do not beam the first note:

\change Staff=inf \grace  { b, c16  \stemDown \change Staff=sup e16
[g16 b16 e16]  }


Could you tell me where is the problem?

Thank you very much

Alternatively you could explicitly name the voices using \voiceOne  
\voiceTwo where there are 2 active voices and then \oneVoice where there is 
only one.

If the passage is longer, I typically use \oneVoice to reset all UP/DOWN 
directions to their default (i.e. stems will alsow go down), and then switch 
back to \voiceOne when needed.
If that's not what you want, then you can always override the rest position 
manually as Eluze wrote.
On the other hand, if it's just very short (no full-measure rests), I don't 
use invisible rests at all, but rather use automatic rest combining. See the 
LSR:

Re: NR 2.1 Vocal music

2010-09-08 Thread James Bailey
So, I was reading through the changes to vocal music, and I had an epiphany. 
The current solution for lyrics independent of notes is predicated on the idea 
that the lyrics should be attached to some voice. Since \lyricmode just tells 
lilypond that the entry will be text rather than notes, why not simply use that 
instead of the DevNull context, and explicitly state the rhtyhms for the 
lyrics. The rhythms are entered anyway because of the lyricrhythm tag, so the 
user will have to enter rhythms at some point. I think it makes for a much more 
elegant solution. Consider:

voice = {
  c''2 c''
  d''1
}

lyr = \lyricmode { I4 like2 my cat!2. }


  \new Staff \voice
  \new Lyrics \lyr
  \new Staff { c'8 c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' c' }


It has the disadvantage of having to explicitly enter the rhtyhm for all of the 
lyrics, not just the tagged part, but it eliminates the need for the DevNull 
context. Bad idea? Good idea?

One other disadvantage, it also has the lyrics left-aligned, rather than center

likely to not be very visible.

Okay, this spares the manual counting of the length of the notes.  But 
note that this is NOT a cadenza in the sense of \cadenzaOn / 
\cadenzaOff, since it amounts to _metered_ music, while \cadenzaOn 
introduces an _unmetered_ section.  Thus, the approach suggested is just 
a clever way of doing my example 3, isn't it?

Re: Help with JEdit/LilyPondTool user problem

2010-09-08 Thread Seth Williamson
I tried that, but the directory is called LilyPond 2.app, not LilyPond.app.

In any case, when I make that small substitution, it still says no such file
or directory.  The MacBook seems to want to force it to look in my user
director, not on the rest of the hard drive.  The full path is this:

I am just about ready to give up.  I think it may be a Mac thing.  But this
is too much effort to waste on something that should be so simple.  Under
JEdit/PlugIns/PlugIn Options, I put the whole specific path:

/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/LilyPond 2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/

You'd think that would be specific enough.  But JEdit seems to want to make
JEdit look for LilyPond in my user directory, where it's NOT.  When I try to
drill down to where it actually lives by using the ... icon at the end of
the path space, when I get to the LilyPond 2.app directory, it's grayed-out
and I can't choose it.  I have no idea what this means, but I'm just about
ready to give up.

If you have any more ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them.  It really seems
dumb that I can't even get the program to start from within LilyPondTool.

multiple pitchnames in a song?

2010-09-08 Thread ananth p
Is it possible to use multiple 'pitchnames' in a song (perhaps under
different score segments)? something like

% option 1: Include Files
\include arabic.ly
\include english.ly

...score1:  some Arabic music here..

... score2: some English music ..


%option 2: inline pitch names definiton
kalyani_ragam= ... pitch definitions for Kalyani Ragam...

\override pitchnames = kalyani_ragam
score 3: Some Indian music, with Kalyani Ragam


-
I'm working on some Raga music- songs with multiple ragas in a same page.  I
can create a pitchnames definition file for each raga. The problem is,
lilypond won't accept more than one of such files in the \include. My
attempts to override pitchname definitions inline failed too (tried long
time ago. I don't remember the exact lines I wrote).

Thanks for any help,

It has the disadvantage of having to explicitly enter 
the rhtyhm for all of the lyrics, not just the tagged

part, but it eliminates the need for the DevNull context.
Bad idea? Good idea?


We certainly need an example in this section which shows
durations attached to lyric syllables, but I think we need
to keep the Devnull example too, as this is useful if only
a few syllables have to have a different rhythm, as might
occur, for example, in just one bar of one stanza.  BTW,
durations on lyric syllables is briefly mentioned in 
Automatic syllable durations in 2.1.1.


Would you like to generate another example along the lines
you suggest with some text for inclusion either here or in
Dialogue over music in Opera and stage musicals?  This 
technique would be suited to dialogue which is not in strict

rhythm but which needs to be keyed into music at certain
points, usually when a sentence starts.  It might need a
bit of research to work out the best way to generate 
alignments.  Hint: try quotes :)

Re: LilyPondTool users on Mac?

I use Lilypond on my Mac Book Pro, but I typically use the command line to get 
things done.  What specific questions do you have regarding using Lilypond on a 
Mac?

Instrument names run off left margin

2010-09-08 Thread Nathan
 Without overriding anything, the output of the code below has the 
instrument names running off of the left margin. Is this a bug? a 
problem with my computer? because am I supposed to use a particular 
setting? the expected behavior?


\version 2.12.3
\paper{ ragged-right=##t }
\new StaffGroup 
\new Staff{
\set Staff.instrumentName = #Violin 1 \set 
Staff.shortInstrumentName = #Vln. 1

R1*30
}
\new Staff{
\set Staff.instrumentName = #Violin 2 \set 
Staff.shortInstrumentName = #Vln. 2

R1*30
}

He is inquiring about LilyPondTool for jEdit, not LilyPond. I don't have any 
experience, but wanted to clarify the question asked.
