Bar alignment
Hi all, does someone know how to force the alignment of bars in subsequent lines? I mean. I would like to produce a regular score e.g. with 4 bars per line and with a fixed length of each bar (eg, set to 1/4 of page width). I know it is not always the best solution but sometimes it might be useful. Any help is welcome.

Re: Howto have the number of volte printed out above an end-repeat bar?
Hi,
From the answers I've had I infer that there is no standard way of doing
that.
The answer the closest from what I expected is to use a rehearsal mark
(thanks to Vicente). Unfortunately it doesn't work when the end-repeat
bar is the last bar of the score:
% This score doesn't have x4 printed out
\score {
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 4 { c1 }
\mark #x4
}
}
% This score does have x4 printed out
\score {
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 4 { c1 }
\mark #x4
c
}
}
Any workaround?
Thanks,
_g.
\relative c'' {
\repeat volta 4 { c1 }

If you say there is no 'alternate' then you simply make a text markup
saying 'repeat 4 times' - this is typically right aligned below or above
the stave where the repeat mark is.
Can I ask how do you achieve the right aligned 'repeat 4 times' in this
score?
\score {

If you say there is no 'alternate' then you simply make a text markup saying 'repeat 4 times' - this is typically right aligned below or above the stave where the repeat mark is. There is no need for any volta brackets at all - although the example above is what I often see, even with no alternate endings. I have even seen 4 repeat bars one after another \bar :\ \bar :\ \bar :\ \bar :\ kind of thing, although that isn't that clear to me either. Having a 'x4' as a rehearsal mark is not particularly informative and I know it would cause much head scratching in the orchestra I play in. It seems to me that you are over-complicating this.

an approach is:

\override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #1
\mark \markup repeat 4 times
\bar :|
}
maybe you'll want to tweak it to fit the text over the measure!

Remove the repeat and volta.
\score {
\relative c'' {
c1 | c1 | c1 | c1 \bar :|
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =

\mark \markup { \small \bold \italic Repeat four times}

}
I put in the extra bars just to show you a more realistic spacing.
If you want to put it above the staff then you just change
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
to
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #UP
Hope this helps.

empty Staff context and vertical spacing
Hi,
when using \RemoveEmptyStaffContext, between-system-padding and
between-system-space seem to have no effect, the staff systems are
squeezed together with seemingly no vertical space between them.
Sorry if I'm missing the obvious. I tried to find information in the
doca about that but didn't see anything concerning this issue.
Here are the infos:
lilypond version: 2.13.23
the layout block on the top level:
\layout {
indent = 4\cm
\context {
\RemoveEmptyStaffContext
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'remove-first = ##t
}
between-system-padding = 2\cm
between-system-space = 2\cm
}
I also tried to set between-system-padding and -space in a \paper
block but that didn't change anything.
Thanks for any advice,
Orm

markup placement
Hello all,
I am finally trying to get past the basics with lilypond. In my
attempts, I have been copying a score that has divisi violas with a
downbow marker. My problem is that the text div. is rendered above
the downbow marker but I would like it to the left and lower.
Is it possible to move objects like that markup with the proper
directives? If it is and is documented, please point me to the relevant
snippets or section in the manual.
thanks...
David
My smallest possible example:
\version 2.12.3
\include english.ly
\header {
title = test div/downbow
tagline = ##f
}
\score {
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = Viola }
{
\clef alto
\new Voice = vlaI {
\voiceOne
% the div and downbow are stacked
% but I'd like them side-by-side
r2 \mark \markup { \teeny div. } cs'4\downbow e'4
}
\new Voice = vlaII {
\voiceTwo
r2 cs'2
}
}
}

why do you use a rehearsal mark? by attaching the div. to the rest, the
result is closer to what you want, isn't?
r2-\markup { \teeny div. } cs'4\downbow e'4
you can then finetune the alignment for instance manually with
#'extra-offset.

Xavier and James, you made my day \o/
After a few more tests I came up with this snippet which works in both

\relative c'' {
\repeat volta N {
...
}
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
\mark \markup Repeat N times
}
Now all I need is to put this into a conditional statement so that the
markup doesn't appear when using \unfoldRepeats.

Back to my original question: if Lilypond can see that one of these

if the dynamics are the same, it's better to write them just once. thus
you:
1) save typing
2) help lilypond so it does't need to waste time guessing obvious things

you just need to create a third voice with spacers and all the common

afaik \unfoldRepeats is intended mainly for the output...
maybe you could just override the visibility of the mark when using
\unfoldRepeats:
\version 2.12.3
music = \relative c'' {
\repeat volta 4 { ais b c d a b c d}
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible

\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
\mark \markup 4x
}
\score
{
\new Staff {
\music % the mark woild be visible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'transparent = ##t
\unfoldRepeats {\music} % the mark
}
}
the problem is that surprisingly (at least for me) this prints the last
mark and not the first :-S
this could be a bug. If nobody disagrees, I'll report that to the bug list.

Re: duplicate dynamics on same staff
So I finally separated the dynamics from the notes, and it works! But I had a couple of problems: 1) Whenever both instruments have a rest, Lilypond stacks them vertically. James Bailey sent me a link to a snippet that fixes that. (How did he know that was going to be my next problem?) My question is, Why is that a snippet? Given that merging the rests is the standard way to engrave them under those circumstances, could Lilypond not just do it and make me have to find a different snippet if that's not what I want? Or at just provide the merge-rests-on-positioning function and mention it in the docs? 2) In another measure the upper voice has a quarter rest followed by a half note on the bottom line of the staff. The lower voice has a dotted half rest. The problem here is that the half note in the upper voice is so low on the staff that it prints over the rest in the lower voice. These voices share a staff in the score, but not in the individual parts. I know I can fix this using tags, but that's labo(u)r intensive in the general case, and I wonder if there's a better way. I don't even know what the engraving convention is for this circumstance. I could suppress the lower voice entirely and let the stem direction identify the note as upper voice. Or should I move the rest down below the staff so it doesn't collide with the notehead? Either way, I want to do this only when trumpetII and trumpetIII share a staff, i.e. in a score. thanks ++ Jimmy Wilkinson| Professor Emeritus of Computer Science ji...@cs.cofc.edu | The College of Charleston (843) 953-8160 | Charleston SC29424 http://www.cs.cofc.edu/~jimmy If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be profectionist.

Or at just provide the merge-rests-on-positioning function and mention it in the docs? 2) In another measure the upper voice has a quarter rest followed by a half note on the bottom line of the staff. The lower voice has a dotted half rest. The problem here is that the half note in the upper voice is so low on the staff that it prints over the rest in the lower voice. These voices share a staff in the score, but not in the individual parts. Can you actually provide an example of how you've done this? I can't for the life of me figure out how you get the collision. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

you just need to create a third voice with spacers and all the common
marks, in parallel with the other two:
I'm not at all certain that's a good idea. The dynamics won't be
present in MIDI (which is probably no great loss), but more
importantly, it messes up the semantics for no particularly good
reason.
Maybe I misunderstand, but if I do:
{
\relative c' { c4 d e f { g a g f } \\ { e2 d } e4 f e d c1 }
{s1\mf s4\ s\! s\ s\! s1\p s }
}
The dynamics show up in the MIDI. And if they're separated into variables, I
can change the dynamics and the music independantly and easily, without fuss or
muss.
Is there somewhere in the docs that I should have spotted this
before doing it wrong the first time?
If this was a good idea, it should be in (in the 2.13 docs)
Usage 5 Suggestions for writing files
I extrapolated the idea from that, Using Variables to Save Typing. Or something
like that.

afaik \unfoldRepeats is intended mainly for the output...
maybe you could just override the visibility of the mark when using
\unfoldRepeats:
That can't be used with a voice which includes several repeats and / or
rehearsal marks.
I thought I could trigger the mark using a function and a global
variable, but that doesn't work as expected. It seems the function is
evaluated only once while setting the toto part instead of being
evaluated in the context of each score:
%---
repeatMark =
#(define-music-function
(parser location volte)
(number?)
(if repeat-mark-visible
#{
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
\mark \markup $(string-join (list repeat (number-string volte)
times))
#}
#{ #}
))
toto = \relative c'' {
\mark \default
d1
\mark \default
\repeat volta 3 {
c b
}
\repeatMark #3
a
\mark \default
g
}
#(define repeat-mark-visible #t)
\score {
\toto
}
#(define repeat-mark-visible #f)
\score {
\unfoldRepeats {
\toto
}
}
%---
Looking for another method :/
Thanks,

I think the following code does it, but putting the music inside a
function is probably not a good idea. Maybe some scheme specialist can
help you better, I'm surpassed beyond that...
%---
\version 2.12.3
repeatMark =
#(define-music-function
(parser location volte visible)
(number? boolean?)
(if visible
#{
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = #0
\mark \markup $(string-join (list repeat (number-string volte)
times))
#}
#{ #}
))
totito =
#(define-music-function
(parser location visible)
(boolean?)
#{
\relative c'' {
\mark \default
d1
\mark \default
\repeat volta 3 {
c b
}
\repeatMark #3 #$visible
a
\mark \default
g
}
#})
\score {
\totito ##t
}
\score {
\unfoldRepeats {
\totito ##f
