One of them is that it does not generate MusicXML. It can create NIFF though, and I wrote a converter from NIFF to Lilypond: niff2ly. 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.

Re: Collision between tie and pitched trill
But the collision disappears if you use Keith Ohara's suggestion to force the tie below the note head. 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. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I have no sympathy with that view. Obviously. Knowledge should be free, Yale to the contrary. Art shouldn't be free until the artist gets his. The source code of the lilypond score is not the `music' or even `art', so maybe people get confused. That is true of the program code, but not the data. According to the WIPO Copyright Treaty, computer programs are protected as literary works as in the Berne Convention: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/wct/trtdocs_wo033.html#P56_5626 The document must carry a copyright notice if it contains the notes, because it is the composition written in a form of musical notation. The complete source, published with a copyright notice, would copyright the piece. Published without the notice, all copyright would be lost. This is not the case in the US since 1989: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_notice Hans 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.

Enhancement request for vim filetype plugin
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. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' I forbid any use of my email addresses with Facebook services.

Select one PDF to generate from .ly with multiple books
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.
