Actually, there are two versions available for download.  The newer is
2.68, the older is 1.27.  Version 2.68 can save MusicXML and NIFF.
Version 1.27 only saves NIFF.

Neither version is freeware though.  Both have a 30 day limit.  The
good thing is that both work in Wine.


Even though this is technically true, the old version doesn't actually 
expire after 30 days. It just nags you, but keeps working. So, SharpEye 
1.27 and niff2ly are a free (as in beer) solution.



niff2ly generates quite old Lilypond, so you will want to run
convert-ly over its output, and it has its restrictions when voicing
becomes complicated.

Download niff and niff2ly from http://www.cs.vu.nl/~rutger/music.html


It's good to see this effort, as Visiv can discontinue MusicXML support
at will.  But please use decent release engineering.  *.old, *.orig and
*.a don't belong to the source release.


Ah thanks  sorry, I had been too hasty in making a newest .tgz. I have 
cleaned it up.



Maybe you could host the source it on Gitorious or Github?  Perhaps
NIFF belongs there too (fully unpacked and converted to UNIX newlines).



I'll consider that.

 In smaller staff sizes it gets worse because the tie is thicker. I actually

 Yes, I understand this. But isn't the purpose of lilypond to automatize
the position of the objects? That's why I don't have to  say to each slur,
tie and dynamics where they should be, it's angle, if it's up or down.
A lot of collision problems that where issued during lilypond's development
where possible to correct manually before, but this kills the title of
automatic music engraver that lilypond holds proudly and deservedly.

 This is not the case in the US since 1989:

We have drifted from the issue here. If your recommendation
is to include the notes of an original copyrightable
musical composition in an upload to be used as an
exemplar of lilypond, your advice is absolutely terrible.
Substitute something in the public domain, and make it short.

Computer programs should have been without protection
until new laws were written. They are a bad fit for
either copyrights or patents. There was a bad judge
who didn't have the discipline or wisdom to dismiss
the first case, and so we have a lot of bad law.
Proprietary programs are already greatly retarding progress
or halting it instead of advancing it.

The time on programs should be *less* than the time
on patents, since no physical working model needs
to be made. Copyrighted material is intended to have
a useful life after the expiration of copyright, not
to be useless, like CP/M or Windows 3.2 or 98 for example.

There is not much of a point for topical newspaper articles being

Enhancement request for vim filetype plugin

2012-01-20 Thread Frank Steinmetzger
Good evening

I'll write my request first for those who are not interested in the whole
background story :-)  It is about the vim filetype plugin that comes shipped
with lilypond.  The following line needs to be added before any key mapping
(blatantly taken from the ftplugin file for mail and adapted accordingly):

if !exists(no_plugin_maps)  !exists(no_lilypond_maps)

and of course the accompanying endif after the last mapping.


Now the background story:
I wrote to the maintainer who was given in the file, but the message couldn't
be delivered (I almost expected it, since the date of last change is 2004).  So
I hope there are some vim enthusiasts here that put my request to good use.

I was wondering yesterday why my own key bindings for lilypond files didn't
work in vim (I want to press F9 to compile a file). It took me more than two
hours to find it out -- including the help of #vim on IRC. It turned out that:

- the file defines some key mappings of its own
- by default, global key mappings have precedence over those in ~/.vimrc
... fair enough, but
- the F9 keymap doesn't just call :make, but also sets makeprg=make -k
- I tried to disable ftplugin keymaps, just for lilypond and also for all types
- the way of disabling ftplugin mappings recommended by the manual doesn't work
- because the ftplugin file doesn't check for it
» hence the above request

I'm assumeing that the vim file comes directly from lilypond itself, because
it is in the tarball and not from within the package manager directory. (OTOH,
there is no such file in Ubuntu whatsoever, I guess us Gentooans are lucky).

Thanks for your time.

Probably best is to integrate NIFF into NIFF2LY since no other tools

Select one PDF to generate from .ly with multiple books

2012-01-20 Thread Hayden Muhl
Let's say I have a .ly file of a piano trio. The file has three book
sections, one for each of the instruments, so when I compile my .ly file I
get three pdf files, a piano part, a violin part and a cello part.
Something like the following.

\book {
  % piano
}

\book {
  % violin
}

\book {
  % cello
}

Is there a way to tell lilypond to only generate the cello part from this
file? I understand that there are other solutions to this, like using
multiple files and include statements. I'm just curious if this particular
functionality exists.
