editorial brackets

2012-05-03 Thread Vogels, Thijs
Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible in LilyPond to add brackets around an 
accidental that has been added by the editor of a music piece, but is not in 
the original score? I can't find it in the manual.

Thanks in advance

Thijs

Installing LilyPond fonts for use in programs under Windows 7

2012-05-03 Thread philip.tho...@bluewin.ch
This is my first post, but I've used LilyPond for a number of projects and love 
the beautiful output. I am also 
learning to love her possibilities for shortcuts and tweaking output, although 
some possibilities are more lovable more 
than others. (I'll have a question or two about defining markup commands at 
some stage.) That's not my question now 
though, which is:

Is it possible to install the Feta/Emmentaler font(s?) in Windows 7 so that 
characters become 
available in applications running under Windows? I tried simply double clicking 
on the Emmentaler otf files, with the 
result that they got installed according to the Windows Control Panel's Fonts 
feature, and the font name appeared in 
Windows programs' font lists, but the glyphs just didn't appear. Is there some 
other way (i.e. without installing the 
fonts) of straightforwardly including LilyPond glyphs in files prepared using 
Windows programs?

I only want to insert 
isolated musical characters from time to time, e.g. in MS Word documents, but 
it kind of offends me using Brand X 
musical fonts in order to do that.

And by the way, what is the relationship between Feta and Emmentaler?

I have 
searched the documentation and the user forum as best I could and didn't 
succeed in finding answers. My apologies if 
I've missed them as a beginner. If that is the case, I'd be grateful for a 
(hopefully polite-ish) suggestion as to 
where I should look. I'm using LilyPond 2.14.2 (or maybe 2.16, as from tomorrow 
...).

Philip

Hide time signature numerator?

2012-05-03 Thread Owain Sutton
I'm putting together worksheets for children, where various pieces of notation 
are missing, for them to fill in. One thing I'd like to do is hide the top half 
of the time signature, but don't know how to do this.

The snippets repository comes close - 
http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Search?q=timesignature - but my knowledge of 
Lilypond is stretched by those examples, and so would be grateful for help!

Re: uniform-stretching results in too much space after barline

Hi,

Looks that i seriously failed to explain myself.
The small png was a real-life example of a triplet spacing problem
i've encountered.  It was a screenshot from a score i'm working on.
I've figured out that when i use uniform-stretching, the problem with
bad triplets goes away, but there are some side-effects.  I had to
post some example code to demonstrate these side-effects - this was
the code in my message, and the output of this code was attached as
pdf.  The example was atrificial and contrived, but it demostrated the
problem: setting uniform-stretching to ##t results in too much space
after the barlines.

 (basically change the \time an add a ragged right) and it seems
 counterintuitive, but the two are definitely different in this regard.
 To be perfectly honest I like the space, and when you cram the notes
 in the space does seem to be even  - try repeat unfold 32 for
 instance. I cannot see any difference - if that matters.

Sorry, but i don't understand what you mean at all.
Since my example was artificial, changing anything can break it
(meaning that the example will no longer demonstrate the problem).
Your code doesn't solve the problem, it is simply not affected by the
bug.

A simplified snippet below.  I also think this may qualify as a bug,
so i'm cross-posting to bugreports.

cheers,
Janek

\version 2.15.36

\markup uniform-stretching results in too much space after barline
\score {
 \repeat unfold 16 gis'8
 \layout {
   ragged-right = ##f
   \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
 }
}

\markup compile this to see how the output should look like:
\score {
 \repeat unfold 16 gis'8
 \layout {
   ragged-right = ##f
 }
}

Hi James,

 looks quite straightforward

… as long as you also add an appropriate offset, so that the single-digit time 
signature remains where it's supposed to (i.e., top-aligned with the staff).

Hi James (both),

 Except that the original request was to *hide* the top number and just show 
 the denominator...

D'oh!

Re: Tremolo + non-tremolo in same beamed group

  I'd expect the beam to be flat horizontal here.
 
 I'd call it a design choice.  The tremolos need longer stems, and
 then LilyPond weighs the relative importance of keeping the other
 stems in the beam at normal length, versus making the beam parallel
 to line between first and last note heads.
 
 \relative c' {e8:32 e:32 e e a a e e a a e:32 e:32 }

Okay, I understand. Two notes on the same staff line or space, beamed together, 
where one is a tremolo and the other is not is a fairly specific special case :)

  (I know I can tweak the beam, just think I shouldn't have to.)
 
 There's lots of parameters controlling beam-setting in general;
 maybe some adjustments would be an improvement overall.

I had a look at the internals reference, but couldn't make heads or tails of 
it. Tweaking the parameters that penalize this or that depends on a lot of 
background information on the beaming algorithms... I guess.

Would appreciate some pointers to make sense of those properties -- thanks in 
advance,
James

No, there is no support yet for Ji$(Q(p(Bnp$(Q(x(B.  It shouldn't be too
