parenthesize compound time sig
I thought I had the solution already in a file but I can't find it. I
have a compound time signature defined and I would like to enclose the
whole thing in (). I found the snippet for enclosing a standard time
signature but I couldn't work out how to adapt it.
#(define ((compound-time one two three four) grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob
(markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0) #:number
(#:line ((#:column (one two))
#:vcenter
(#:column (three four)))
\score{
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(compound-time 9 8
3 4)
}
Help?

As I crank up the global-staff-size, the heading text gets LARGE. I'd like
to
uniformly reduce the size of the heading text like this:

wrong placement of timesignature (since 2.16)
Dear ponder, first of all: thank you for the newest version!
I noticed though, that since 2.16, the placement of TimeSignature is off in

or due to some new underlying mechanic?

Your example is messed up and can't compile. Save it in a .ly file and

Re: lilypondfile
Perfect, except it still generates a PDF file, which I don't need and I could not find an command-line option to prevent the PDF from being created. But that's what a Makefile is for: I just delete the PDF. Lilypond also has a --ps option So what you want is: lilypond -dbackend=eps -daux-files=#f --ps file.ly 8-) It works, but totally counter-intuitive. I do use --ps all the time, and the usage manual is clear on this option: --ps Generate PostScript. so it never would have occurred to me that --ps means NOT --ps if the backend option is eps. Now the usage manual does state: The prefix no- may be added to option-name to switch 'off' an option, e.g. -dpoint-and-click=#f is the same as -dno-point-and-click so I tried -dno-ps but that generates: warning: no such internal option: no-ps Just to show I am doing due diligence, the usage manual also says: --png Generate pictures of each page, in PNG format. This implies '--ps'. --pdf Generate PDF. This implies '--ps'. but in both cases, no ps file exists after the command. Yes, the output of the command indicates: Layout output to `file.ps'... but creation of this temporary file is an internal issue since it is subsequently removed, and therefore, irrelevant to the meaning of the command-line option. Finally, what does the -o option do? -o,--output=FILE or FOLDER Set the default output file to FILE or, if a folder with that name exists, direct the output to FOLDER, taking the file name from the input file. The appropriate suffix will be added (e.g. .pdf for pdf) in both cases. For this command $ lilypond mary.ly -o fred my expectation is that the PDF output is placed in file fred.pdf rather than mary.pdf, but here is what occurs: GNU LilyPond 2.16.0 Processing `mary.ly' Parsing...

Re: header font size
As I crank up the global-staff-size, the heading text gets LARGE. I'd like
to uniformly reduce the size of the heading text like this:
\override Score.HeaderText #'font-size = #-1
I set the font size explicitly:
subtitle = \markup {\fontsize #5 No. 12. Quintet Finale}
But I have multiple fields in the header: title, composer, arranger, etc., and
I did not want to put a markup around each field. Rather I wanted a global
reduction that maintains the existing font ratios that already exists in the
header, like title is larger than subtitle, etc. I.e., just scale all the
existing header fonts up/down by a constant (log?) factor.
Global-staff-size is clearly doing this uniform scaling of header fonts already
because, as I crank up the staff size, all the header fonts are adjusted
uniformly. So it feels like the mechanism to accomplish this should already be
in place and there just needs to be a handle to rescale the header fonts after
the staff-size scaling or some such.

Re: Roman page numbers.
Hi, Greetings David, I have only now had a chance to try your code: This is wonderful. Thank you very much. Hwaen Ch'uqi I'm glad you find it useful! I've looked at this some more, and I've figured out how to get the Roman numerals into the table-of-contents. (It involves adapting the command \page-ref.) In the attached file, I've tried to make a sort of template consisting of Title Page (no page number) Table-of-contents (lowercase Roman numeral centered at the bottom of the page) Other prefatory material (as above) The Music (Arabic numerals): first score (no page number on first page) all other pages numbered on top, to sides I've offset the first page of the score to begin on 1. The variable you need to change is `begin-arabic' at the top of the document (which is the absolute page-number on which Arabic numerals start--that is, discounting the offset I do to get the score to start with 1) In this version, the function `roman-numeral-page-number' no longer takes an argument. The switch back to Arabic numerals results from not including the function in the following bookpart. I'm not sure of the best way to get the instrument name to appear in the scores after the first one. Anyway, this strikes me as a bit convoluted, and if anybody has any suggestions to make this smoother, please don't hesitate.

LC_PAPER and default paper size

Is there any way to make Lilypond default to letter pages without adding anything to the command line?

updating tremolo snippet for 2.16
First off, thanks to all the people who worked on 2.16! I'm super excited about it, and I'm already noticing drastically reduced compile times for my large projects, compared to 2.14. I'm looking at updating my snippet library, and the first issue I've run into is that http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=604 stopped working in 2.16. It's pretty simple to fix using event-chord-wrap!, but I was wondering what a real solution should look like. I'm assuming similar situations will crop up with other snippets, so I suppose this is just an instance of a more general question. I'm hoping that maybe updating some snippets will be a good way for me to learn more Scheme. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/updating-tremolo-snippet-for-2-16-tp131548.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
convert-ly anomaly
I just upgraded to 2.16 (not sure that's actually relevant). I went to work on some files that I hadn't touched since v2.5.x. Before doing anything else I decided to run convert-ly on them. When I work in Windows I prefer to do my LilyPond stuff in cygwin. When I tried to run convert-ly the response was that there was no such known command. Eventually I opened a Windows command line box and convert-ly ran just fine there. What's that all about? -David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: LC_PAPER and default paper size
Pavel Roskin pro...@gnu.org writes: Hello! I have noticed that Lilypond 2.16.0 uses A4 paper size even if the locale is set to en_US.utf8. I can force the letter output by using -dpaper-size=\letter\ but that seems inelegant. Is there any way to make Lilypond default to letter pages without adding anything to the command line? I used strace and didn't see Lilypond open any file in the home directory, such as ~/.lilypondrc or something. Should not Lilypond respect the LC_PAPER setting from the locale? I don't think that LilyPond should produce different output on different systems for whatever reason. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Attaca markup
Hello, Perhaps these are more music theory questions than a LilyPond related. I was wondering which would be the correct way to place an attaca markup text? For example one could put: c1_attaca \bar |. That would force to have markup to a specific note (or chord). Is there any equivalent as \new Dynamic indication to specify text like attaca? Also, after an attaca indication should the bar numbers reset or continue counting? -- Daniel E.

You could use a RehearsalMark and try the following snippet: http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=432 Also, it's attacca. Also, after an attaca indication should the bar numbers reset or continue counting? I've only ever seen this between movements, so the bar numbers should definitely reset.

Re:decrescendo and unspecified starting volume [WAS: dynamic in midi]
As Phil pointed out already, inserting a \p or \mf or any other dynamic sign should do the trick: c\mf c\ c c c\! That takes care of the starting dynamic, but if we assume that a decrescendo in MIDI should be a linear decrease in velocity values, it's impossible to calculate without both the starting and ending dynamic. Or has the logic been improved so that ending a decrescendo with \! now guesses an ending dynamic that is somewhat softer by some invisibly determined amount? Just curious. I haven't used MIDI dynamics much, but I did notice warnings about unknown ending dynamics when I had enabled MIDI output. hjh ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Heikki posted some improvements here http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2012-07/msg00441.html which were included in version 2.16 So LilyPond does guess sometimes. His patch gives warnings when he thought it might be surprising LilyPond made a guess, but maybe the confusion caused by the warning is more trouble than the help. Fabio, LilyPond starts your decrescendo in the middle of the dynamic range. The warning is only to tell you that LilyPond made a guess about the starting dynamic. If you are happy with the results, you need do nothing about the warning. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

text?
For example one could put:
c1_attaca \bar |.
Gould says to put it at the end below the staff. Hers are lowercase,
italic and not bold.
That would force to have markup to a specific note (or chord). Is there any
equivalent as \new Dynamic indication to specify text like attaca?
This is how I've defined it in the past:
attacca =
{
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'break-visibility =
#begin-of-line-invisible
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'direction = #DOWN
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'font-size = 1
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #right
\mark \markup{\bold Attacca}
}
Also, after an attaca indication should the bar numbers reset or continue
counting?
I think that depends if the attacca is between movements or not.Bar
numbering usually restarts for a new movement.

Re: Attaca markup
Thanks a lot David and Jay! That was exactly what I was looking for. Also, it seems quite convenient to use RehearsalMark to use attacca indications. Thanks. -- Daniel E. Moctezuma ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
cross-hands, cross-staves
Hi, a question and a meta-question. The meta-question is, is there a more appropriate list to ask for suggestions on the best way to notate something? I occasionally have questions just about the clearest notation choice.The actual question is wondering if anyone thinks there is a better/clearer way to notate the following figure. Hands alternating, with melody in the pinky. The pattern continues throughout the piece (with different notes). Right hand stays in the same general location, right hand wanders down an octave or so at times.Thank you,Curt\version "2.16.0"\include "english.ly"global = { \key a \major \time 4/4}aovere = { \change Staff="rh" a cs16 \change Staff = "lh" e b'16}\new PianoStaff \new Staff = rh \global \new Voice = "melody" \relative c' { \voiceOne r4 e( fs gs fs2. e4 e1)} \new Voice = "shimmer" \relative c' { \voiceTwo a cs16\p \change Staff = "lh" e b'16 \repeat unfold 7 \aovere \repeat unfold 16 \aovere } \new Staff = lh \relative c' { \global \clef bass s1*3 }___
