Cowell/Ferneyhough Unconventional Meters
Just wondering if Lilypond can handle this type of situation; In Ferneyhough's etudes transcendentales, he employs meters such as 2/12 or 2/10, acting as literal subdivisions of the semi-breve. This of course translates to n-tuplets, but frees up the score (and mind) a bit so that one can really focus on a clear nested tuplet formation/interpretation within the general overview of a tuplet-based meter without a general increase in tempo (as one would get in compound time if adhering to the same principle). I'm just curious if Lilypond would be able to handle something along these lines. Basically I'm simply looking for the ability to notate n/m meter without much trouble.

Hey Joey,
The easiest way would be to create an override for the time signature stencil:
{
\time 2/8
\once \override Score . TimeSignature #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup #:override '(baseline-skip
. 0) (#:center-column (#:number 2 #:number 10)
b8 b
}

Just put

Lilypond will give you a _warning_ that this is a non-standard time
signature, but it can handle the time signature and will produce a
corresponding bar of two quintuplet-eighths in length.

True, but I say easiest because the solution of creating a non-standard time
signature will lead to a lot of changing between dead and not-dead tuplet
stencils.
nixtup = {\once \override TupletBracket #'stencil = ##f \once \override
TupletNumber #'stencil = ##f }
{
\time 2/10
\nixtup
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 }
\nixtup
\times 4/5 { c'8 c'8 }
\nixtup
\times 4/5 {
% no nix tup because this is a nested tuplet that we want to see.
\times 2/3 { c'8 c'8 c'8 }
}
}
Whereas the time signature stencil change avoids this sort of book-keeping.
However, if you are harvesting data from engravers and/or using MIDIs, then
Joseph is absolutely right - \time 2/10 is the best way to do it.
Cheers,
MS

I adjusted your example a little bit so one sees better what happens:

setting the font size for markups independently
Hello list,
I have the following definition in my preamble:
myStaffSize = #20
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
indent = 3\cm
print-all-headers = ##t
#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree Goudy Bookletter 1911
GoudyBookletter1911Italic
GoudyBookletter1911BoldCondensed
( / myStaffSize 20)
))
}
and in my scores a lot of parts like this:
\markup {
\word-wrap {
here is some text with \underline { marked } words and stuff.
}
}
Now I want to change the score size by an external script depending on
the voices I'll include. This works, but I want the markup text to be,
say, 12pt in height throughout the document, no matter how myStaffSize
is defined.
I can use
\markup {
\abs-fontsize #value { \word-wrap
... bla ...
}
}
but I think there is a more generic solution, but searching the Manual and
the archives didn't give any clue.
Thanks in advance,

Lilypond making my Macbook Pro run slow
Hello. I'm new to Lilypond and going through the tutorial right now. One thing I'm noticing is that whenever Lilypond is open (even just sitting idly in the background), my computer runs noticeably slower. It's a new MacBook Pro, 8 gigs of RAM. It can run Logic, Sibelius, many tabs of Chrome, Mail, etc. etc. without slowing down at all, so I'm wondering what Lilypond is doing that's so memory intensive and how I can fix it.

Re: Lilypond making my Macbook Pro run slow
You can check on this by using the Activity Monitor (in the Finder, Go menu Utilities Activity Monitor). If you sort alphabetically you can easily find Lilypond and see whether it is demanding a lot of CPU cycles, hogging memory and/or spawning a lot of subprocesses that are slowing things down. There's no reason to keep Lilypond open, however, unless you are using the built-in text editor and there are frankly much better options for writing .ly files (Smultron, Fraise, Emacs, etc.).

First, open up Activity Monitor and see what the LilyPond app is using in CPU, memory, etc. Then try quitting LilyPond and see what effect that has. Second, I'd recommend using some other editor besides the built-in LilyPond editor. LilyPond is fundamentally a text-based system, and very little development work goes into the GUI apps for OSX and Windows (in fact, we may not even be shipping LilyPad for Windows any more; I haven't followed this carefully). LilyPondTool for Jedit is certainly Mac compatible. I believe that Frescobaldi now is Mac compatible as well, but I'm not positive. If you use an editor other than the LilyPond editor, you'll not only have better features, but I'm certain you won't see a decrease in your system speed.

There's only one forced break here, so only the first line is broken
properly if you change the skip length. If you want regular breaks,
you can use \repeat unfold to ensure there are enough breaks
throughout the piece.

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks
When I use \repeat unfold, it changes the time signatures in the parts — actually it adds them to the ones that are already there. When I only use it once, it simply breaks the first system. http://old.nabble.com/file/p32000936/Screen%2Bshot%2B2011-07-05%2Bat%2B6.13.08%2BPM.png I didn't use \repeat unfold before, because it's not in this snippet, but seems to work out okay: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#printing-music-with-different-time-signatures But I see now that that particular global only needs to happen once.

Re: Polymetric music and page breaks
This snippet seems to do the trick:
global = { \repeat unfold 3 { \time 4/4 \once \override Staff.TimeSignature
#'stencil = ##f { s1*4 } \bar \break { s1*4 }
The override of the stencil removes the extra time signatures; the once
command ensures that not all of the time signatures throughout the piece are
removed.
I'll apply this to the larger work and report back. Thanks for helping!
