Re: Barline type before \time change
Hello Urs,
There are two possibilities:
1.: use a little music-function-helper:
--snip--
\version 2.15.36
dbtime = #(define-music-function (parser location frac)(fraction?)
#{
\bar || \time $frac
#})
% example
\relative c' {
c4 e g b \dbtime 3/4 c des b | c2.
}
--snip--
but this means not using the standard \time command.
2.: If you want to have this effect on existing sources, you might want
to use a scheme-engraver.
This is based on a snippet, I took from this list ... I think David
Nalesnik wrote it(?)
--snip--
\version 2.15.36
% this might work in 2.14 too?
DbBars = #(lambda (context)

(last-fraction #f))
`((process-music

}
\layout {

With the engraver, you should be able to include an existing file while

Still, it might be helpful to link to this page from some other places,
say, Tweaking methods.
For instance,
~~~
The general syntax of this command is:
\override Context.LayoutObject #'layout-property =
#value
This will set the property with the name layout-property of the layout
object with the name LayoutObject, which is a member of the Context
context, to the value value. [add: The value must be given using the
right syntax for the property's expected datatype. Consult section 4.2.3,
Types of properties {with link} for details.]
We don't normally have forward references in the Learning Manual - it
is intended to be read sequentially, introducing concepts one at a time -
but this does seem a helpful and sensible suggestion. Thanks.
I added this forward ref as requested, although not in precisely this
way. It will appear in the next release.

advanced (?) instrumentname setting
Dear LilyPond-users, after hours of research I decided to ask you the
following:
- How do I add text which is aligned with certain barlines? This is quite
common for percussion notation to indicate which line represents which
(part of an) instrument. In my case: which part of a gong to strike.
* EXAMPLE *
*\version 2.14.2 *
*
*
*gong = \new Voice {*
*
*
* \set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\center-column{Wind Gong } *
* \clef percussion *
* \autoBeamOff*
*
*
*\relative c' {*
* *
* \override Staff.NoteHead #'style = #'cross*
* \override Stem #'stemlet-length = #0.75*
* *
* #(define mylines '(-4 0 4))*
* \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-positions = #mylines*
* *
*
*
*R1*2 | *
*\times 2/3{ d8\ppp^soft mallets (s.m.)[ e r] } \times 2/3 { r8[ r d\]
} **\times 2/3 { r8[ e8. f16\] } r4 |** *
*R1 |*
*\break*
*
*
*}}*
*
*
*\score {\new Staff \gong}*
*%%%*
I tried doing
*\set Staff.instrumentName = \markup\right-column{Wind e. Gong m.
c.} *
but I find this output rather unsatisfying. I can imagine there are more
elegant ways to do this. Any help would be awesome. Thank you!
Kind regards,
Gagi
PS If somebody also can help me with making the whole rests look more
clear: how do I add the horizontal line (see wholerest.png) on top of it?
I would appreciate it a lot!

Re: Barline type before \time change
Hello Jan-Peter and Tim,
thanks for your replies.
I would like to use this on sources I'm already working on.
So I don't need to use your include construct.
But I think I'll try out your Scheme engraver approach. If it doesn't
work or behave as I would like, then I'll go for entering the double
bars manually. This is of course manageable, but I'd find it cleaner to
have it as a 'setting' in the layout block and use simple \time commands
in the source.

Re: musicxml2ly from sibelius
Thank you, Mattias, for showing me this workaround! You could also try to import the musicxml file into MuseScore: MuseScore is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. It does not only read musicxml, but midi as well. Plus: it exports in lilypond-format! I've had success in reading a musicxml file which would *not* convert with the musicxml2ly script. This very file could be imported in MuseScore and exported as lilypond file. Success! Eventually. The problem seems to have been the fact that there were some cues (possibly relevant: more than one), so there were measures where there were more than one voice. Once I was able to delete the cues, I was able to export to .ly without crashing MuseScore. Exporting to .xml at this point, to test with musicxml2ly, did not produce a lilypond-compatible .xml file. —Josiah ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Two voice notes with one voice rests
Phil Holmes wrote
Here's one way:
\relative c'' {
{ \override Rest #'staff-position = #0 d8 r d r d r d r } \\ { b8 s b
s b s b s }
b d r b d r b d r b d r
}
This suggestion is fine for notes at those particular positions on the stave,
but for higher or lower notes, a different method is needed. One way is to
alter Rest #'staff-position at the Score level:
mus =
{
\override Score.Rest #'staff-position = #0
{ e'8 r g' r e'' r g'' r }
\\ { c'8 r e'8 r c'' r e'' r }
}
\score
{
\mus
}
Another way is to adopt Phil's method in one Voice, and use spacer rests in the
other Voice:
mus =
{
{ \override Rest #'staff-position = #0
e'8 r g' r e'' r g'' r
}
\\ { c'8 s e'8 s c'' s e'' s }
}
\score

Flying ties
I've found some odd tie behavior--not sure if it's known currently.
Sorry, currently I can't test whether it also happens in earlier
versions.
The following code creates a flying tie situation around the upper
and lower notes of the chord, in other words the ties lie far outside
the staff. This happens probably because of the accidentals on the new
line--if you take the \key out, removing the accidentals, the ties
stay close to the notes:
\version 2.15.36
\score {
\new Staff {
\relative a' {
\key des \major
a d f1~ \break

Actually, this doesn't help in 2.14.2 -- same result with this:

}
{
\repeat unfold 6 \relative c' \notes
\repeat unfold 6 \relative c \notes
}
}
But, in my actual score, I think there is something else happening. For a long
section of it, the dynamics are quite well below even the lowest marking in the
staff -- and then, suddenly, at the end of the page, the space closes up again.
So I think my next step is to start taking things out of the score until I
don't see this odd behavior.
I already did some troubleshooting on it. I found a few dynamics from the note
expressions that I hadn't removed, and I thought those might have created
additional dynamics contexts which would have made extra vertical space, but
after cleaning up all of those, the problem persisted. So, time for exploratory
surgery (when I have time, maybe not in the next couple of days).
