Re: creating images for web pages
Hello, The last version for Mac is the same as for the other platforms : 2.14.2 (at least for stable release). I think you should consider updating, as lot of improvements were made from 2.12.x to 2.14.x. You'll also find the updated documentation more easily.

brackets for coloration
When I transcribe facsimiles that use "colored" notes (they look like a whole note or a breve, but they're filled in), I've been transcribing my guess at how the notes translate into modern notation, and footnoting the fact that they're colored. A friend recently pointed out that there's a convention in some modern editions that you use a bracket begin and end before and after the colored notes, but don't extend the bracket over the notes. So it looks similar to an ligature bracket, but doesn't have the line between the begin and the end. I just did a little bit of searching the lilypond documentation, and didn't see an obvious example of how to do this. Can someone provide one?

lyqi on FC13
Hi, I used to use lyqi in past but haven't recently. I decided to revisit it and downloaded it from github (https://github.com/nsceaux/lyqi). i did get a few compilation errors, primarily variants of: In lyqi:insert-opening-delimiter: lyqi.el:3050:18:Warning: `last-command-char' is an obsolete variable (as of Emacs at least 19.34); use `last-command-event' instead. and an expected: In end of data: lyqi.el:6078:1:Warning: the function `do-applescript' is not known to be defined. The library appears to load in emacs however but none of the keys correspond to what it is supposed to. Key 'd' gives an 'f' in the input and the notes appear to be scattered all over the keyboard. I'm on a MacBook Pro 5,2 and was using the builting keyboard and I'm running Fedora 13 and Emacs 23.2.1 I would really like to get lyqi working, so any hints are welcome.

Why can't I \override TieColumn #'tie-configuration only \once?
Hi list,
I know that I can tweak the ties in a chord to my liking by overriding
#'tie-configuration like in the following (intentionally useless) example:
\relative c' {
%\once
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'( ( 8 . -1)
( 3 . 1 )
( -3 . 1)
)
2~ q |
~ q
}
This doesn't really make sense musically but works as I expect it to.
But if I uncomment the second line and add the \once clause I'd expect
that only the first tie (c major) is engraved according to my TieColumn.
But it seems that instead no manual changes are applied at all, both
ties are printed "normal". The override doesn't take place at all when
preceded by \once.
Is this expected behavior, am I missing something?
Or should this be considered a bug?
Best

The tie configuration at the time of the tie ending counts, so try
\relative c' {
2~
\once
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'( ( 8 . -1)
( 3 . 1 )
( -3 . 1)
)
q |
~ q
}

Yes. But the Notation Reference demonstrates:
\relative c' {
2~
\override TieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'((0.0 . 1) (-2.0 . 1) (-4.0 . 1))
2~
}
And with \laissezVibrer or \repeatTie it works, using this syntax. Setting
\once gives a result as expected.
\relative c' {
2 ~ q
\once
\override LaissezVibrerTieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'(( 8 . -1)( 3 . 1 )( -3 . 1))
2\laissezVibrer \laissezVibrer
}
\relative c' {
2 ~ q
\once
\override RepeatTieColumn #'tie-configuration =
#'(( 8 . -1)( 3 . 1 )( -3 . 1))
2\repeatTie \repeatTie
}

Where is your point? It would still work after the next chord.

The example gives the impression that it needs to be set before the tie. I
would also expect this, so I would intuitively also place the \once\override
before the tie and wonder why it doesn't work.

creating images for web pages
Hello:
I'm trying to create images of lilypond output to be included in web
pages. I've been able to do it but the process is extremely labour
intensive and I've got to believe there's a more efficient way. Can
someone please comment on ways to improve my process or suggest a
different strategy?
Here's what I do currently:
(1) generate the typeset music for an 8.5in x 11in page to get an idea
of the size of the resulting typeset music (currently, the music is
typically one or two measures long and consists of about a dozen
notes)
(2) Add a \paper{ ... } block to the source file to redefine the page
size to be the smallest page size to fit the typeset music. This is a
trial-and-error method where I fiddle with the page size parameters
until I get an image with the an acceptable amount of white space
around the image. Here's an example showing the parameters I use:
\paper{
paper-width = 7\cm
paper-height = 2.54\cm
top-margin = 0\mm
page-top-space = 0\mm
left-margin = 0\mm
line-width = 7\cm
}
Any parameters not present (eg bottom-margin) were removed because
brute-force tests showed they didn't impact on the size of the paper.
(4) Add a header block to remove lilypond's default tag line
(5) Regenerate the typeset music which produces a ps and pdf file of
the correct size (typically about 3in to 4in wide by 1in high)
(6) use ghostscript to convert the pdf/ps file to a bmp file with the
following command line:
gs -sDEVICE=bmpmono -r300 -dGraphicsAlphaBits=4 -o filename.bmp
lilypondMusic.pdf
(7) The End; the resulting file, filename.bmp, is now included in a web page.
The most time consuming part of the process are figuring out the size
of the typeset image. If lilypond can be coerced into producing the
dimensions then that would save me considerable time.
Of course, my problems here are that I don't grok lilypond, scheme, or
ghostscipt enough to know any better method than the brute force
method I've described above. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
regards,
eds
