a JEdit/LilyPondTool behaviour
Hello, Just wondering about a behaviour when I'm using the PDF viewer in the excellent JEdit/LilyPondTool. With some scores, when I click on a note in the PDF I am returned to that note in the .ly file; with other scores this does not occur. In both cases I have the Follow caret check box selected. Why does this happen, and can I ensure that clicking a note always returns me to the appropriate point in the .ly file? (Thanks again to all involved for providing LilyPond/JEdit/LilyPondTool for free.) Gerard ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: a JEdit/LilyPondTool behaviour
Gerard, IINM you should avoid certain characters in your path. I'm pretty sure you used something like: (,), é, ä, à etc. in your directory/ file labels.

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. Yo! And note how it's fixed in the second measure! The quarter rest is high on the staff in measure one (I thin) because merge-rests-on-positioning can't handle full-measure rests, so I decided to chop the R2. up into r4 r2 in the second measure to see if that wouldn't fix it. Not only fixed that, but fixed the problem that started this whole thing. I'm inordinately pleased with myself. (druther be lucky than good) You will also avoid the collision if you write the whole-measure rest for trumpet III as r1*3/4. Any chance the full-measure/multi-measure problem will get fixed? How can we merge a multi-measure rest with a part-measure rest? Oh, yeah. Why is the Preferences... entry dead on the Lilypond menu? Mac OS 10.4.11. You'll get much better response from the list if you do one issue per email, and if your subject matches your question. I don't know the answer, but I'd guess it's because there *are* no Preferences to set in this app. It's intended to be a minimal app. Thanks, Carl ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Bar alignment
Does proportional notation (see the Notation Reference for this) provide you with what you want? It helps. Must be combined with an info on the number of bars per line. I'll read with care that part of the manual.

With some scores, when I click on a note in the PDF I am returned to that note in the .ly file; with other scores this does not occur. You should'n have any problem with PDFs made by you from source files that are at the same path they were when you processed them to generate that PDF. Let's say, the link between the file path+name/line/column and the small links that the PDF has in every note, still exists. However, this link breaks when you move the ly source file or the PDF. You can always process the file again and press the PDF preview icon in lilypondtool. That should suffice. There is a very low chance that any PDF not made by you shows a proper point-and-click behaviour even if you have the source code. Again, a solution is at my previous paragraph. Also, some PDFs are processed without those tiny links in it, by means of the no-point-and-clik option, which you can enable for your own documents. -- Francisco Vila.

Hi James, I think it's mostly used when building the docs. The only case where it might help you would be if you have lots of different LilyPond scores to compile, or when using lilypond-book with a large number of LilyPond snippets to compile. But in any other usage, job-count will not help you since LilyPond is a single-threaded application. I'm not even sure that job-count would work if you have a single .ly file with multiple \book blocks (in fact, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't). If you are trying to build the docs, have a look at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor-big-page#saving-time-with-cpu_005fcount I was actually doing it to build the snippets in the regression tests, I wanted to build all of them with 10 different processes simultaneously. I didn't time it, but I think it came out much faster. And, I still cannot build the documentation. I can build lilypond, but not the documentation. I've just given up on that one. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

If you're using lilybuntu, then there shouldn't be any problems building the docs -- what did you try, and what error(s) did you see? If you're not using lilybuntu, then building the docs is a relatively difficult process on Linux and OSX, requiring familiarity with package managers (on osx: fink and/or macports, quite possibly both). It's certainly beyond the capabilities of our average contributor with less than 6 months of experience. (before any linux people complain that building the docs is easy -- my our average contributor with less than 6 months of experience estimate is derived from evidence from our mailing lists, based on the types of operating systems our new contributors use, their technical abilities, and the amount of time it takes until they stop using lilybuntu) Cheers, - Graham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I am using the expression to not display the tuplet number \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f but at some point later in the score I want that number to be displayed again and when I use what I figured was the appropriate reactivation expression \override TupletNumber #'stencil = ##t it works but I get the error warning: type check for `stencil' failed; value `#t' must be of type `unknown' Is this a problem, or should I be using a different statement?
