enhancement request: reset header items when starting new scores

2011-05-07 Thread -Eluze

imo there is something like a natural relation between titles, subtitles,
subsubtitles, pieces, composer and many more header items.

therefore i think a subtitle should be automatically reset whenever a title
is defined in a new score or even when a new score is started. up to now you
have to do this manually.

of course this needs a deepened analysis - what would be the behaviour when
a booklet with only one composer is written? should a tagline be changed
too?

thanks
Eluze

Stem length on beamed notes incorrect in 2.13.61

2011-05-07 Thread Nick Payne
A bar excerpted from the Mertz guitar transcription of Ständchen. When I 
last worked on this score about ten months ago, using 2.13.27, I didn't 
have the problem with the beam on the notes in the middle voice being 
placed below the stem of the note in the lower voice - the beam was 
placed along the bottom line of the stave - see 2.13.27.png, a screen 
shot from the PDF I made at the time:


\version 2.13.61

\relative c'' {
\time 3/4

{ cis'2. }
\\
{ a,,2. }
\\
{ \stemDown a''8 e a cis, e a cis, e }

}

Re: window 7 -64 bit

2011-05-07 Thread Phil Holmes
I don't believe there's any problem with 64 bit installs - I use 64 bit vista 
without a problem.  However, there does appear to be a problem with font 
handling if using SP1 on Windows 7:

quoteDuring or cueDuring forward reference

2011-05-07 Thread Paul Scott

Hi,

How do I do a forward reference with cueDuring or QuoteDuring?  If the 
music is in score order it's easy to quote or cue a flute part in the 
bassoon part but how can I quote or cue the bassoon part in the flute part?


Thanks for any help with this,

Paul Scott

Re: barAlways, slurs (melisma)

Germain Besides this, placing automatic invisible bars in all

Germain layouts) is typically a kind of computer task ! By the way,
Germain what was barAlways meant for ?  

I assume so that you could have line breaks anywhere instead of only at
the end of a measure.  I've always used it in conjunction with a
default bar type of empty or .

I more often do that by removing the Forbid_line_break_engraver.  I do
wish that were a bit more intelligent -- even when I don't mind line
breaking in the middle of a bar (I usually typeset Renaissance music
where the composers weren't thinking in measures), I don't usually want
it between a dotted note and the next note.  I've been working around
this lack of feature by inserting \noBreak when lily puts a break in an
inconvenient place.  

One of my current projects is a set of ricercadas on a bassline in
breves, where breaking only at breves wouldn't produce very good output,
but there are lots of places where it's inconvenient to break the melody
line, so those melody lines have a *lot* of \noBreak's in them.

Re: Repeat alternative includes a tempo change

2011-05-07 Thread Ken Smith
Mike:

Thank you very much for your helpful advice.  My problem is really how to code 
the final verse of my four-verse 'learning' melody.  I've diagrammed below how 
I think I'll have to code the melody, but I'm wondering if there's a different, 
less complicated, way to go about doing it.

\melody
%%  ( for verses 1, 2, 3 only )
stanza1, stanza 2
\repeat volta 3
{  stanza 3, stanza 4  }

%% ( then continue notation for final verse 4 )
stanza 1, stanza 2%%  (first two stanzas of verse 4 are played at same 
tempo as  for verses 1, 2, 3 )
\repeat volta
{   \markup tempo = slower, sadly
stanza 3, stanza 4
}
\alternative%%  ( use for the octave upbeat on final note of melody )
{ d'2~d2\fermata }
\bar  || 

In other words, it seems to me that I'll have to code a volta for three verses, 
then another volta for the fourth verse, with an alternate ending for the last 
notes of the final stanza.
Thank you again for taking the time to help me.

Very best regards,

Ken

I'm new to LilyPond (v2.12.3) and to music notation in general, so I'm just 
a tad beyond the starting point on LilyPond's learning curve.  I'm scratching 
my head now as to how to write the repeats in my learning testfile, 
Podmoskovnye Vechera, (Moscow Nights).  The melody has four verses, each 
verse has two couplets (i.e., four stanzas per verse), with the second couplet 
repeated in each of the four verses.  The repeats for the first three verses 
are identical, but the repeat for the final verse includes a tempo change 
(slower, sadly) with an octave upbeat at the end.  I'm only coding the melody 
line for now; here's the code I've been using (time = 2/4):

\bar |:
\repeat volta 4%% notation shows repeat for verses 1, 
2, 3, only
{
b4 cis4
e8 d8 a4~a8
e4 d8 \mbreak%% \mbreak defined in my  '%% Definitions' 
block
a'8. g16 bes4~bes4
c8 bes8
a4 g8 f8
}
\alternative%% notation shows repeat for verse 4
{
{a4 g8 f8 d2 }
{ d'2~d2\fermata }
}
\bar ||

To get it right (volta showing verses 1 - 4, alternative showing verse 4 
only) will I need to code the final couplet of verse 4 into \alternative?  Or 
is there a better, more professional way to do it?



  Generally, alternative endings start on the first full measure during which a 
repeated section diverges.  It sounds like the solution would be to back the 
beginning of the alternative up one measure so that the changed upbeat can be 
part of the alternative.

Hang tight - the current git has this problem fixed, and it'll be fixed in the 
next version of LilyPond available on the website.

undesired figured bass stretching

2011-05-07 Thread Nicolas Sceaux
Hi,

When forcing the staves spacing using
  \overrideProperty #Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
  #'line-break-system-details = #'((alignment-distances . (...)))
figured bass digits are stretched, whereas they shall be tightly stacked.

I can't find how to avoid this strange behavior.  Is there a way?

Here is a minimal example:

\score {
 
   \new Staff {
 \overrideProperty #Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn
 #'line-break-system-details #'((alignment-distances . (15)))
 c'4
   }
   \new Staff 
 { d'4 }
 \figures { 6 44 }  
}

Re: Duration comparison and swinging MIDI output

2011-05-07 Thread Janek Warchoł
2011/5/6 Christopher R. Maden cr...@maden.org:
 The attached file is good enough for me.

 It includes (duration-equals?) which may be of general interest.

 It also includes the \sw function, which, given a sequence, returns two
 tagged sequences:

  \sw {
    \relative c' {
      a'4 a8 b a fs e d |
    }
  }

 becomes

  {
     \tag #'layout {
       \relative c' {
         a'4 a8 b a fs e d |
       }
     }
     \tag #'midi {
       \relative c' {
         a'4
         \times 2/3 a4 \times 2/3 b8
         \times 2/3 a4 \times 2/3 fs8
         \times 2/3 e4 \times 2/3 d8 |
       }
     }
  }

 It can then be used with

  \keepWithTag #'layout \theTune
  \keepWithTag #'midi \theTune

Nice, thanks for sharing!
Have you considered adding it to LSR?
