Re: Large file
Ralph Palmer palmer.r.vio...@gmail.com writes: Greetings - I'm using LilyPond Book to print out a large set of short (mostly 16 bar) contra dance and Celtic tunes. I'm working on an older Dell laptop, using LY 14.2 under Linux / Ubuntu. I show 494.8 MiB of memory, but I think I may have some additional space set aside as virtual memory (I'm not sure about that). I have 510 individual files, one for each score, which are \includeed in my master file, which has a separate score entry for each. If I try to run more than twenty or thirty scores, things get badly bogged down. If I have all my page breaks set up the way I want them, and I try to run the whole file (all 510 scores), am I likely to lock up the memory, or (if I'm patient), will the computer likely produce the .ly and .pdf files in 2 or 3 hours? I appreciate your time and attention, Lilypond-book is running LilyPond with large command lines, on a lot of files at once. Without memory leaks, this should not be much of a problem. However, your setup very much sounds as if you are _not_ doing this as a proper LilyPond-book job, but rather make one large LilyPond file. This kind of setup will require considerable resources. Things get worse if LilyPond can't flush out pages in between because of global page break optimization. So you should try to change your setup in a manner where you have one LilyPond-book fragment for each score. This may mean that every such fragment does an \include of the settings now in the LilyPond master file rather than the LilyPond master file including every LilyPond source. On this kind of setup, the performance loss due to memory starvation is likely quite larger than the loss due to reloading the master file and stuff for every snippet. Current development versions are quite more efficient in such multifile situations (talk about shaving 30% off execution time for small files), but again, you will need to separate this into separate LilyPond-book fragments rather than one large chunk containing everything. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: neutral direction cues
OK, consider this example slightly modified from the Notation Manual:
fluteNotes = \relative c'' {
r2. c4 | d8 c d e fis,2 | g'2 d |
}
oboeNotes = \relative c'' {
r1
\cueDuring #flute #UP { s1 }
g2 c,
}
\addQuote flute { \fluteNotes }
\new Staff { \oboeNotes }
I'm interested in changing the #UP to a neutral direction because I want
the stems in the cue to be neutral direction. But If I use #0 instead of
#UP, the notes are not formatted as cue notes at all.
The reason why it makes sense to format the cue notes with a neutral
direction is that the other part is made entirely of spacer rests (s1) so
really only one part is being printed.

Hi LilyPond
Is it possible to do something like \cueDuring without specifying a
direction?
I know there is a polyphonic situation, but sometimes the thing happening
during the cue is entirely spacer rests.
In that case it would be nice to format the cue with a neutral direction.
I tried giving the direction #0 but that seems to make \cueDuringWithClef
ignore the clef.
Fixing this would probably be the best option from a user's perspective.
I don't know how to set up a \cueVoice manually in such a way that it
quotes only the relevant extract from a quote, i.e. those during my
spacer rests.
can you please give some code as example !? - I'm not sure to understand
your request correctly.

A couple house-style adaptment questions
Hi All, I have to prepare a book to follow the house style of my publisher, and I'm struggling a bit with the following things: 1) Aligned BassFigures ABOVE the staff. The publisher wants them all above. I include the figures to my Staff context and set \bassFigureStaffAlignmentUp: it works, but each number gets it's vertical position from the note it hase above, with the result that the figures are not uniformly aligned. Is there a way to aligne them to the same baseline? It would be the same as when you put them in the FiguredBass context under the staff (tried a FiguredBass context but it seems it can be placed only under the staff and not above). 2) Figured bass font. The publisher asked me to use the same font they use for all the texts for the figured bass (a variation of Garamond). I did something like \override BassFigure #'font-name = #Garamond Premier Pro and it works well, except that all the alterations are too big for the tiny numbers in Garamond. Is there a way to scale just the alteration glyphs? 3) Bracketed cautionary accidentals. The house style calls for brackets and not parenthesis. Is there a way to change this? I already made my bracket stencil for ParenthesesItem, but I cannot find a way to change this in AccidentalCautionary. Thanks!

Hi Nelson, this is an issue with QT 4.8 in macports, that seems not to behave well with Frescobaldi. I prepared a version with the old 4.7, but with this version the pdf preview is broken.

centering text
Hi there, This is my first message so apologies if its a bit simple. I am just trying to put some centered text on each bar of music. One word per a bar. The code below puts the words at the end, so I guess its aligning to the note rather than the bar. I am generating this in SuperCollider so ideally I would like a clean way of having bars written and centered text to go with them. I am not fussy how its implemented as long as its concise. I imagine there is someway to style the text so that I only need to say centered once but as I mentioned I am just working my way through this. Any ideas on a good approach ?

Re: Re: neutral direction cues
I agree that #NEUTRAL would be a better mnemonic. However, I was under the impression that David was just reusing #CENTER which already exists... So, #CENTER should probably be renamed to #NEUTRAL everywhere. (Or both should exist as aliases for #0). By the way, David, thanks a lot for your patch! I haven't tried it yet but a glance at the diff looks excellent.
