That works for me.
I can only suspect that you might have multiple installations, and edited the
.scm file of a different installation than you used to compile the .ly

Re: New User Questions
From the original, I think there are in fact 2 different scores: one
with the refrain, one with the stanza. It would also be a solution to
split your lilypond source into two different \score{ }s. This also
solves the apparent timing issues -- however, not how refrain and stanza
attach.
Like so (just in one file):
refrain = \relative c' {
clef, key, time, ...
... notes of the upper staff ...
}
melody = \relative c' {
clef, key, time, ...
... notes of lower 2 staves ...
}
\score {
\new Staff \refrain
\layout {
% mimic appearance of original
indent = #'0
ragged-right = ##f
}
}
\score {
\new Staff \melody
\layout {
indent = #'0
}
}
Bar checks are very useful. Please don't do without them.

Second, and here's the rub, I'm trying to put this piece of music
(http://www.wtv-zone.com/phyrst/audio/nfld/06/ble.htm) into the program using the code

"|" there's no bar between the new time signature and the rest of the music. If
I put in bar checks, I get errors.
How is the counting supposed to proceed at the end of the repeated section?
Lilypond wants to finish the 6/4 bar that you are 4 crotchets into. If that is
also what you want, then just change to 4/4 four beats earlier than you are
(i.e. at the end of a full bar of 6/4).
If you want to throw away the two remaining crotchets in that bar and start
with a fresh bar of 6/4, then you will have to engage in some trickery to make
Lilypond play along:
\repeat volta 2 {
c'4 b8 a g4 c c c c b8 c d4 e d c d e
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4 4) d2~ d
}
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6 4)
If you want to prolong the final note of the repeat to fill out the full bar,
use alternate endings. Unfortunately, the same trickery is still required - in
this case Lilypond ought to be able to figure out the need for partial bars
itself, but currently it needs help to do so:
\repeat volta 2 {
c'4 b8 a g4 c c c c b8 c d4 e d c d e
\alternative {
{
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4 4) d2~ d
}
{ \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6 4) d1. }
}
}
Best wishes,

Is there a typo? "ahh choir" vs. "aah choir"?

columns in lyrics
hey all,
i have a lot of lyrics in a row where i need them to appear as :
\markup \column { foo bar } \markup \column { who what } \markup \column {
hello world }
To avoid typing the markup command every time, I'd like to do:
\command #"foo" #"bar" \command #"who" #"what" \command #"hello" #"world"
I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement this as a music function
that'll work in the Lyric context - any suggestions?
For bonus points, what I'd love is:
\command #"foo who hello" #"bar what world" that'd automatically split out n
lyrics in column form, each containing 2 lyrics a piece (n being 3 in this
example).
Cheers,

Re: scaled lyrics
Hi Alexander,
pushing this back on the list ...
I downloaded Tribun and can now use 'Tribun ADF Std Cond' to get
condensed lyrics. But how can I use bold and italic shapes?
... oh, I just answered it myself:
--snip--
\version "2.14.2"
#(define-markup-command (shape layout props shp arg)(string? markup?)
(let ((p `(((font-name . ,(string-append (chain-assoc-get 'font-name
props "Tribun ADF Std") " " shp))) . props) ))
(ly:message "~A" p)
(interpret-markup layout p arg)))
\markup \column {
\line { Hallo \override #'(font-series . bold) Welt }
\override #'(font-name . "Tribun ADF Std Medium")
\line { Hallo \shape #"Bold Italic" Welt }
\override #'(font-name . "Tribun ADF Std")
\line { Hallo \shape #"Bold Italic" Welt }
\override #'(font-name . "Tribun ADF Std Cond")
\line { Hallo \shape #"Bold Italic" Welt }
}
--snip--
Well, I defined another markup command - that is not a very nice
solution. But perhaps someone else knows, how to 'activate' arbitrary
styles/shape of an installed otf font.
lilypond -dshow-available-fonts blabla 2>&1 | grep Tribun
shows:
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std:style=Bold
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Cond:style=Bold Cond,Bold
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std:style=Bold Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Med:style=Medium
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Med:style=ExtraBold Italic,Bold Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Cond:style=Cond,Regular
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Med:style=Medium Italic,Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std:style=ExtraBold,Bold
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Cond:style=Bold Cond Italic,Bold Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std,Tribun ADF Std Cond:style=Cond Italic,Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std:style=Italic
family Tribun ADF Std
Tribun ADF Std:style=Regular
So style show available styles, how can I use them without hacking
font-name?
The \bold command or \override #'(font-series . bold) doesn't work for
this otf.

Hallo Jan-Peter,
noch eine kleine Idee in Sachen Fonts: Ich bin heute per Zufall über
folgende Seite gestolpert:
http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Where_can_I_get_good_fonts%3F
Insbesondere die "Arkandis Digital Foundry" sieht sehr interessant aus
- Gillius und Tribun zum Beispiel (in der Kategorie ADF's Fonts) finde
ich auf den ersten Blick sehr hübsch gemacht, und beide kommen mit
engen Schnitten.
Zu den CorelDRAW-/Bitstream-Schriften scheint das Gegenargument zu
sein, dass sie der damalige Bitstream-Designer zu einem großen Teil
schamlos von anderen Schriftdesignern (hauptsächlich aus dem Hause
Linotype) abkopiert hat. Allerdings auf einem sehr hohen Niveau, und
einige Vorlagen waren auch schon Kopien. Abgesehen von leichten
moralischen Bedenken sollten sie sehr gut nutzbar sein - rechtlich ist
man mit dem Paket auf jeden Fall auf der sicheren Seite.

Hi Alexander,
no, that doen't sound silly ;-)
And it is of course worth, to look for other font options. The CorelDraw
option is an interesting one, so I will look for it - thank you for that
hint.
But still, I will condense some pieces "manually" (or schemally?),
because then I can choose the level of "condensity" I need for the fast
syllabic parts and leave all other parts uncondensed.
My function to scale/condense syllable proportional to its width was an
idea I had yesterday, but that will always look ugly, I think. And I
have to admit, that its also motivated by my weakness for puzzling.

Hi Jan-Peter,
this might sound silly, but why not switch the font? I often write
syllabic German music, too, so I know your problem, and I often just
use a condensed font family.
E.g., the free DejaVu font family offers condensed serif variants.
If you can, I also highly recommend that you get a cheap old version
of the CorelDRAW suite (v6 or higher, I think, but just search the web
to find out) on eBay or the like.
It comes with a collection of about a thousand font variants,
including ones with proper condensed shapes. A good share of these
fonts are of pretty good quality, though I heard that serious
typographers would beat me up for saying so. They may not have
excellent hinting or headline variants, but I find them very

It works now. I may have had some names in mixed case, LilyPond only
works with them if they're lower case (the soundfont names are mixed
case). It's hard to be sure now as it was at the end of an all-nighter.
If anyone's interested, I now have a patch for midi.scm to add
definitions for all of the Fluid 3 soundfont bank 0 names.
