I've got as far as guessing that assigning a non-standard procedure

Shouldn't be that difficult. Check this thread:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.lilypond.general/57580. By adjusting
the `TabNoteHead #'extra-offset` you can put the letters above the lines.
Unfortunately, they won't align that nicely... but I can't help any further.

Multiply that by about 450 songs and it is really intimidating to me. So my question ... maybe there is another program that will better suite my needs? Producing 450 typeset scores takes time. Reasonable short hyms (approx 40 bars, 3 verses of text) will require a couple of hours each, no matter what tool you are going to use. When you're new to LilPond, the first several scores will require much more time, while later in the process, when you get the hang of it, and you have developed good templates, it will be much faster. I can recommend a tool like Frescobaldi which may be easier to get started. Sometimes it helps when another person reads the score and dictates the notes to you so you only have to concentrate on entering the notes. Once you have templates, you can ask other people to join in. But remember: typesetting scores takes time.

My workaround: When I need a LilyPond glyph in a Windows program, I produce it in PDF format from a .ly file by the conventional LilyPond route, and then use Adobe Reader's snapshot feature to copy and paste it.

Since Type1 fonts can only hold 256 entries, we had several of them. Later we unified them into Emmentaler (a big cheese) which has all the glyphs in a single font. Nice! -- especially since feta cheese has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union since 2002, whereas the name Emmentaler is not protected and thus available for any cheesemaker to use. The metaphor can easily get stretched too far, though: Emmentaler cheese is characteristically full of holes ... Suggestion: The documentation led me to be confused as to the font name. For example, in the Notation Reference (v.2.14.2), section A.7 (page 575), one finds: A.7 The Feta font The following symbols are available in the Emmentaler font ...

Are these capable of shape notes? I'm not sure.
I strongly agree with that David said: _especially_ for 450 hymns, if
I were you, I'd go definitely for LilyPond. Dragging sounds might be
better only for 1-10 pieces at most, and still you'd have to edit them
all once and again when you decide to change the overall look.
Instead, learn to use the \include command for paper and layout blocks
in LilyPond.
An unexpected feature you could discover is, you can teach the basics
(just note entry) to people so they save those notes in a text file
with a distinct filename. Then you can copy and paste that into your
music declarations such as tenor = { } , then use those variables in a
template such as \score { \new Staff { \tenor } }
Finally, I recommend Frescobaldi for everyday work. Type some notes,
hit CTRL+M, done. Errors? hit CTRL+E.
Good luck!

Yes, I agree. There's always scope for stuff to be even better,
and this too could be even better.
It solves my immediate problem, though. I want something I can
compare against a facsimile original (and other candidate
sources), and then play from (on a bass viol in an obscure
/scordatura/), rather than something to publish for others. This
meets both those needs. Believe me, it's _much_ easier to read
than the original.
Thanks again. All the best.

Re: is shapeSlur broken?
Hi David, now I tested your new function. OK, I didn't test more than the sources you provided, but I think they give all the necessary combinations. So my conclusion is: This is awesome! I won't ever live without this (as long as LilyPond is concerned) anymore - as long as it won't get broken by new versions. One idea to make it even more comfortable and generic to use would be not to hard-code the color within the function. If one could somehow set the color outside the function one could personalize it to ones needs. As this is kind of a library thing, I think it isn't necessary to make this settable at runtime through the function call. Maybe one could define a variable for the color above the function, setting #black as default. Then anybody can easily see how to adapt it even if she/he doesn't understand the function itself. Ah, I just realized that this way one could still set the color in the music source by redefininge the variable ... I would be happy about this enhancement. But I really have to admit that this is quite low priority because the function is already extremely helpful. Best and thanks again Urs Am 09.05.2012 01:49, schrieb David Nalesnik: Hi Urs, Hi David, as promised I tried out your updated function(s). Well, you can't call this a complete test suite, but it seems to work perfectly. Many thanks. Attached is a version showing that it also/still works with phrasingSlurs. I find the warnings very useful. I assume it isn't possible to find out and display the 'real' place in the source where the problem comes from? As it is, I only know that there is a changed curve that doesn't work anymore, but don't know where it is (which can of course be difficult to pin down in larger pieces. If it isn't possible to identify the calling line in the source code, would it be possible to mark the respective curve red? This way one could easily spot the problematic grob. You can do either, or both. The attached file will display a warning which includes the input location and (if you uncomment the relevant lines in shape-curve) print the curves in red. That a wrong number of pairs gives strange results is OK. That way one is gently pointed towards malformed input ;-) +1 So it works like a charm now :-) If you could still add the colour or line number feature - or tell me that you won't or can't do it - I could make a useable and distributably version of the file - maybe as a package together with displayControlPoints (see other mail in the other thread).

Nice! -- especially since feta cheese has been a protected designation of origin product in the European Union since 2002, whereas the name Emmentaler is not protected and thus available for any cheesemaker to use. The metaphor can easily get stretched too far, though: Emmentaler cheese is characteristically full of holes ... And the Emmentaler font is also full of holes.

Hi Urs, On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 10:13 AM, Urs Liska li...@ursliska.de wrote: Hi David, now I tested your new function. OK, I didn't test more than the sources you provided, but I think they give all the necessary combinations. So my conclusion is: This is awesome! I won't ever live without this (as long as LilyPond is concerned) anymore - as long as it won't get broken by new versions. Great! I'm very happy to hear this! One idea to make it even more comfortable and generic to use would be not to hard-code the color within the function. If one could somehow set the color outside the function one could personalize it to ones needs. As this is kind of a library thing, I think it isn't necessary to make this settable at runtime through the function call. Maybe one could define a variable for the color above the function, setting #black as default. Then anybody can easily see how to adapt it even if she/he doesn't understand the function itself. Ah, I just realized that this way one could still set the color in the music source by redefininge the variable ... I would be happy about this enhancement. But I really have to admit that this is quite low priority because the function is already extremely helpful. This isn't difficult to do. As you say, you could define a variable for color above the function. All you would need to do then is replace red with the name of the variable in the two places it occurs. In the attached file, I do this and give several ways of specifying the color you want. (Of course, it's the last definition that is actually used.) Best and thanks again Urs You're very welcome!

[ANN] Schumann - Album for the Young. Version 1. (in French or German)
Hi all, This publication comes in 2 forms: a version with FINGERING a version without FINGERING so the pianists, whichever they are students or professors, will use it at their convenience, at least let's hope so. You should also be noted that this publication is currently available (09/May/2012) in 2 languages: in French in German A complete edition in another language can be easily seen if you know translate yourself the French or German language. If you are interested or want to learn more, write me. I'll address you then a list already easy to translate expressions. The Album for the Youth of Robert Schumann is published under the terms of the free Art license, see: http://www.artlibre.org/licence/lal/ (fr, en, de, es, pt, it) The Lilypond source + midi into the pdfs are in tar.bz2 format. Problems with unpacking of this format (on Windows or Mac), you will find them in zip format on the site. Download at the following address: http://superbonus.project.free.fr/spip.php?article50 Be happy.

I'm not confident I understand how you'd like the letters to align. If you

then the stencil override Carl mentions might be achieved like this:
\new TabStaff

\override TabNoteHead #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)

For some reason, the override won't work for me inside the \with block.
Do you want some separation between the characters and the staff line? If
not, the line-thickness of the staff line should be halved.

Re: Adjustment to tablature output
Thank you, David.
I must preface my remarks by saying that I'm no expert in lute
tablature, and by repeating that my immediate needs are met by
what I now know how to ask LilyPond to do for me.
But I think a typical example of what one might ideally achieve
is at
http://tony.c.pagesperso-orange.fr/fretful/Viol/Hume/PDF/111ThePrincesAlmayne.pdf
or any of the other files linked from
http://tony.c.pagesperso-orange.fr/fretful/ViolPage.htm#table .
Those seem to have been typeset by a program named StringWalker,
which I think has been superseded by one named Django. (See
http://musickshandmade.com/projects/DjangoDemo/Help/html/djangoversusstringwalker.html).
All the best
/Christopher/.

If not, the line-thickness of the staff line should be halved.
I'm pretty sure he wants to use the *baseline* of the characters to align
relative to the staff line. So you can't use tab-note-head::print, since
it centers the *total extent* of the characters.
You need to find the character lookup from tab-note-head::print, and use
the character lookup to get the markup to be displayed, and offset that
from the staff line. You'll have to do all the calculations to get to the
right string, I think.
I may be able to look at this some this weekend.
Thanks,
Zcarl
