Cross-staff beaming

2011-05-26 Thread Hilary Snaden

I've just installed 2.13.61 (Windoze binary)

I'm working on a piece with a lot of cross-staff arpeggios, many of 
which need their stem lengths/beam positions tweaked for easier reading. 
The manualBeam function in the manual


manualBeam =
#(define-music-function (parser location beg-end)
  (pair?)
  #{
  \once \override Beam #'positions = #$beg-end
  #})

works perfectly for a few bars, after this the beams and stems of the 
beamed note groups are AFAICT rendered inverted top-to-bottom.


A recent bug-lilypond thread suggested that some work had recently been 
done on the cross-staff beaming code. Is this still on the to-do list, 
or am I missing something? (A workaround?)

There are at least 3 beaming bugs still present in .61, which are claimed 
fixed for .62.  I'd suggest trying your music with .62 when it is released, 
and raising a problem again if it doesn't fix your problem.

[James' reply:] 
There are few bugs still about for cross staff

http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/list?can=2q=cross%20staff

Some of them contain workarounds some don't.

1300 and 1324 for instance.

No, the nearest-note algorithm applies only in
relative mode.  In absolute mode the D is below
A in the same octave.

In the same thread, my code examples have (for comparison) two sets of

Wholly skipped lines are removed automatically.

If you want the instrument to appear only on the title page, then you may define
a first bookpart for this title page, where the instrument is defined:

%% Title page
\bookpart {
   \header {
 title = The Book Title
 instrument = instrument
   }
   \markup\null
}
%% Act I
\bookpart {

Or, if Act I starts on the first page, add instrument to its \header block.

Then it will not be repeated on the following bookparts.

The answer has been given on the French Users mailing list:
http://lilypond-french-users.1298960.n2.nabble.com/bookpart-header-instrument-abc-is-printed-twice-tp5280023p5281062.html

Nicolas Sceaux defines  not-part-first-page  and

\paper {

 (eq? (ly:output-def-lookup layout 'print-first-page-number) #t))
 (create-page-number-stencil layout props arg)

  oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
%% force the header to take some space, otherwise the
%% page layout becomes a complete mess.
 
\on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \fromproperty #'header:instrument
\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-part-first \fromproperty

#'page:page-number-string

Maybe this could be implemented in LilyPond directly (and documented).

Completely separate staff

2011-05-26 Thread Fabian Binz
Hi,

 

how can I add a completely separate staff to my score? I want to display a
single separate line below all other lines, which is not synchronized with
or somehow related to the rest of the music. I tried the following (where
someChords, melody, text and separateLine are defined elsewhere):

 

\score {

 

   \chords { \someChords }

   { \melody }

   \addlyrics { \text }



{ \separateLine } 

}

 

I also tried several other variations, i.e putting { \separateLine } in its
own  , but of course none worked.

 

I'm sure that there is a way, but I just don't see it. I'd be glad, if
someone could give me a hint.

Thank you everybody for responding. I found something that works really well,

parenthesis are black, while the chord symbol is red. Any suggestions to get it
coordinated? Also, is it possible to parenthesize multiple chords? 

Here's what I have done that works well. First I have two sets of chord blocks.

harmonies = \chordmode {
  s4

  e2:sus4.7/b e:7
  %etc
}

harmoniestwo = \chordmode {
  s4
  \parenthesize c1 
  \parenthesize b2:m7 e:7
  %etc with skips etc   
}


And then in the score section, add an extra ChordNames block for harmoniestwo:

\score {
  \transpose c c
  
\new ChordNames {
  \set chordChanges = ##t
  \override ChordName #'color = #red
  \override ChordName   #'font-size = #-0.5

  Hi,
 
  I'm looking to vertically lay out systems in a very rigid and regular

  (This is the method I documented a while back in 4.4.2 'Explicit staff

  line-break-system-details.) The challenge is that this method produces
  different visual results than it used to now that the new vertical

 the
  difference.
 
 
  It would appear that what's going on here is that Lily's assessment of
 what
  counts as the topmost edge of a system has changed over time: previously,
 the
  Y-offset attribute of line-break-system-details applied to the top staff
 line
  of the topmost staff in a system; now, the Y-offset attribute of
  line-break-system-details applies to the outermost envelope (skyline?) of
 the
  system. This makes sense. But I would really like to be able to reproduce
 the
  utterly regular vertical spacing of my previous scores using current
 versions
  of Lily.
 
  Is there any way to achieve the vertical layout of systems that I'm
 looking
  for with modern versions of Lily?

 I couldn't get your examples to compile, so I couldn't test them.

 I think you want to set top-system-spacing and system-system-spacing with a
 'stretchability of 0, which will place the system at a fixed location,
 regardless of the notes present.



Hi Carl,

So I tried the following ...

... but the output appears to be the same as example 1. (Ie, the settings
appear to have no effect.)

Is there perhaps a mistake in my top-system-spacing and
system-system-spacing settings?

(And apologies for the miscompilation of exx 1  2; I just tried cutting and

I'm not really sure exactly want you want but just add another \score {...}

Oh -- it's special space characters that break compliation.  Sometimes the

make it work properly.

padding needs to be negative to prevent the staves from changing places in

The simplest thing would be the \transpose command:

\version 2.13.61

violinI = \relative c''
{ a4 a8 b c4 c8 d}

violinII = \transpose a c' {\violinI}

\score {



\violinI

\violinII




HTH, and the Notation Reference section 1.2.1 is a good place to start, too!

Yes. First you must convert the Finale 2002 file to a Finale version
that supports exporting to a .xml version (Finale 2007 or thereabouts)

I'd like to make an arrangement of  Bach BWV 1073: Canon.
I found the  Finale 2002 source files2 on the 
icking-music-archive.org and

would like to know if there is a way to convert them to lilypond.

Thanks for chiming in. Last time i tried to convert with musicxml2ly 
to convert to lilypond the result was really ugly and was likely more 
work than writing the piece from scratch.


This piece is a canon where the 4 instruments play the same notes but 
using a different key.

I want to transpose it for 4 violins

Would anyone has a script that would allow me to transpose and 
generate the lilypond code for the other violins?


Example: generateAndTranspose +3 a4 a8 b c4  c8 d ... would 
generate c4 c8 d e4  e8 f ...

i need to generate the actual lilypond notes and not just use the 
transpose because I'd like to be able to add fingerings.

Fascinating!  And bookmarked, too.

Thanks!
