Perhaps you should add the directory containing `poppler-qt4.pc' In the email I sent on Friday I overlooked these lines. Apparently you are having the same problem as Robin Newman's, i.e. MacPorts' pkgconfig for some reason cannot see /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig. This should not happen, since MacPorts' pkgconfig is compiled with '--with-pc-path=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/local/share/pkgconfig', so it should always search these paths as a last resort. I cannot reproduce this behaviour on either of the Macs I can use. I suggest that you report the problem on the user mailing list of MacPorts (see https://trac.macports.org/wiki/MailingLists) or file a bug report at https://trac.macports.org/newticket (read the guidelines). As a workaround you can try to set the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH, then clean the build directory and build again: in Terminal, cd to the build directory and write export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig /opt/local/bin/python2.7 setup.py clean /opt/local/bin/python2.7 setup.py build (In a working MacPorts installation of Python 2.7, /opt/local/bin/python2.7 is a symlink to /opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7 .)

How to force a superfluous CombineTextScript to be printed?
Consider the following minimal example:
/\version 2.17.20
fluteOne = \relative c' { \repeat unfold 2 { c'8 d e f g2 | R1*8 } }
fluteTwo = \fluteOne
\score {
\new Staff \with { instrumentName = Flutes }
{ \compressFullBarRests \partcombine \fluteOne \fluteTwo }
}/
If two instruments are playing in unison for a long while, and continue to
do so even following a multi-measure rest, I want a reminder 'a2' to be
printed where they resume (i.e. in the 3rd bar of the example). In a large
orchestral score, it is useful to have reminders even if they are
technically superfluous, especially when the second one is on a different
page. I need a function that effectively says Take whatever the previous
CombineTextScript said, and reprint it at the given location
I have tried explicitly inserting /partcombineUnisono/ or turning
/printPartCombineTexts/ off then immediately on again, in an attempt to jolt
Lilypond into forgetting any prevailing a2 status, but with no luck. A
'messy' last-resort would be for me to go through the entire score (hundreds
of pages) and insert manual pieces of a2 text markup tagged so that they
only showed up in the score, not the parts. Surely there is a more automatic
way than this?
Thanks, everyone!
Dominic

Re: [Schikkers-List]: demo feedback
Paul Morris writes: Nice progress on Schikkers list! It seems like it is coming along well. Thank you! Now all I need is more hackers and users/people giving feedback, like you :-) One thing that is counter-intuitive (maybe you're already aware of this), is that selecting a different note duration from the palette changes the currently selected note. My expectation was that it would only apply to newly entered notes, and that to change an already-entered note to a new duration, I would have to click on it again. That's an interesting suggestion! This does make sense, I'll have to think about this; even better, we could experiment. The current behaviour kind of matches the keyboard entry. If you start from a fresh document and with focus in the GUI type spaceb8 then the first space: produces a copy of the first c4 b: changes that second c4 to a b4 8: changes that b4 to an b8 etc If instead of typing the last `8' you would click the duration button of 8, wouldn't you expect it to change immediately? Possibly this keyboard entry method is also clumsy and we may want to get rid of it altogether. Currently, I have disabled text entry in the text area, but I'm working on a ly parser there. Also, I prefer having the LilyPond text box below the staff instead of side-by-side, since that would provide more horizontal space for viewing the staff. Ok. That makes sense. Have you noticed that you can make the ly-text view narrower and notation view wider, by dragging the middle dividing line to the right? Currently, there is only this sort of piano-roll-eske view, but I'm working on full page views. That seems to work better with the text on the right. Possibly we could swap right or below depending on the view. What do you think? I noticed an audio bug where a note would repeatedly play for some reason. (using Chrome 27) Can you provide me with a `recipe' of how I can reproduce it? Ok, those are just a few thoughts for your consideration. Great work so far! Thanks very much for the feedback!

David Kastrup wrote Tuesday, August 20, 2013 6:46 AM Uh, no? df is an abbreviation, but des is a proper pronouncable name (if you are Dutch/German, that's the name you use when talking about music). As such, it has a letter combination that is natural to scan. ... even for non-German, non-Dutch speakers. When I started using LilyPond some years ago I always used the English encodings, xf and xs, but now I invariably use the default, xes and xis, when transcribing. I think that's because they are so much easier to vocalise internally, making it easier to remember a musical phrase between reading and typing.

Well, the string is converted. Try
\markup { ~ }
Note that \markup ~ again is identical to ~, but \markup { ... } is
a form of \markup markup-list and is converted to \markup \line
markup-list. That is sufficiently complex to stop the lyric

Less than fabulous, yes.

I'll be bold and disagree. G-flat is ges in Dutch (3 characters) and gf in English (2 characters). If you're typesetting a piece in D-flat major, the 33% redundancy for every black-key note in Dutch will add up quickly. I've been dealing with repetitive strain injuries for more than half my life now, so I have a rather strong aversion toward extra symbols, such as the s in -es and -is, which are identical between flats and sharps and thereby do nothing to distinguish them. They take up space but don't /do/ anything in return for the extra finger effort. If I were forced to type them, I would seek another input method. Fortunately I can just set the language to English and then enjoy more efficient input. I think that the best solution would be to have some special keyboard entry mode in Frescobaldi (for example, it could be diatonic and automatically add alterations according to key signature).

Then the currently selected note sounds multiple times in a row, as many as 30 times or more. It seems that the hover over the note to make it sound mechanism is being fired by scrolling while the cursor is over the paper. Scrolling using the scroll bars or using the touch-pad when the cursor is not over the paper (like just below the paper) is no problem. This is in both Chrome and Firefox. Another little thing is that when the page first loads it looks like the audio is already on (by the appearance of the audio button), but it doesn't work until you click the button. Then it is actually turned on. Congrats again on the progress!

Hi Pierre,
thanks for the hint.
After a quick glance, this code is aargh!
It's the hardcoded impossipility to use $(add-grace-property ...)
_and_ \voiceXxx
I see no way to workaround with custom-functions/definitions in a lily-file.
Hi,
after some more thinking about it, I have to say this code _is_ horrible.
David K tackled it already in different ways, see issue 630.
Though, I've found sort of in-file-work-around.
There's one big issue with it: If a specified voiceX is followed
immediately by a grace, customized grace-settings are ignored and/or
other unexpected things may happen.
This is related to issue 630
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=630
See: comment 14 and 25
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=630#c14
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=630#c25
Right now I have to state that my work-around has to be inserted at
least one note before the grace appears.
Though, this not only a very annoying bug with my code, it's the same
with default \voiceOne etc.
I plan to provide a patch doing some clean-up in music-function.scm.
Though, it will not change any output, nor kill the bug, nor offer new
possibilities of input or output, for now.
Best I hope is to do some preliminary work.

Vertically centering lyrics between two staves?
It is going on 8 years now I've been typesetting hymns in Lilypond, and one thing is still very irritating. For many hymns, you have 3 or 4 verses. And you have a refrain/chorus. It is standard hymn practice to vertically center the chorus between two staves. Yes, it is easy to add the chorus text to the end of one of the stanzas, and at the next \break, vertical centering happens as it should. Now, someone posted another alternative; I could mark the musical notes of the refrain as a separate voice, and tie the chorus lyrics to that. Well and good; I wasn't aware that voices could be sequential. After all, staves in a score can only be in parallel. So, having done that, is there a way to tell the Lyrics attached to the chorus Voice that they should vertically center themselves? Alternately, why not allow sequential staves in a score? Especially if it began at the last barline of the previous score, instead of requiring a line-break. Or, as a last resort, is there a way to glue two scores together so that one starts where the other ends, on the same line? This helps the flow, and for compactness. Having too much whitespace can be very distracting to the flow of the music. Having a ragged end when the chorus should just flow from the earlier part of the verse, doesn't look good.

Re: Vertically centering lyrics between two staves?
Thank you Carl. Interesting example. For the hymns I do, that might work for the first couple bars, but then I'll have to predict where the linebreak will be and revert it at that point. I'm using a template system to auto-generate the lilypond code, so having to insert a counter-acting command at an unpredictable spot in the lyrics will be rather annoying. Are there any Lilypond developers still active on the list who might be interested in doing a sponsored modification that would allow two staves to be pasted together within a score. Alternatively, allowing two scores to be pasted together on the same line, since scores already follow one another sequentially inside a book?

Re: Vertically centering lyrics between two staves?
Another problem with that snippet is the amount to drop. With a good centering command, it is centered. But if I alter the font size, etc, the amount of raising and dropping needed to center the lyrics will alter. How can I predict that without a lot of kludgy code? Again, I'm generating lilypond code from templates. I can compensate for some complexity, but the simpler the better.

Re: How to force a superfluous CombineTextScript to be printed?
Hi Dominic,
Have you tried using \partcombineApart and \partcombineAutomatic? (See
code below). See also Notation Reference 1.5.2 - Automatic Part Combining
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/multiple-voices
There are also \partcombineUP and \partcombineDOWN flavours of
\partcombine (same syntax as \partcombine) which force both the parts to
use the specified stem direction when combined.
The code below is still a work-round to get the a2 to print, but you
might want to use this as a template.
The \partcombine call is pretty horrible but this way you get the
\partcombinemumble directives applied to both parts without having to
add them individually to each the music for each instrument.
At the moment you get dynamics above and below the combined stave, but
you could control this with tags on the flutedyn variable so it only
gets used when you're print out the flute part.
Hope this gives you some ideas to work around the restriction without
too much pain (and typing) in your big score.
HTH, Cheers,
Ian

If two instruments are playing in unison for a long while, and continue to
do so even following a multi-measure rest, I want a reminder 'a2' to be
printed where they resume (i.e. in the 3rd bar of the example). In a large
orchestral score, it is useful to have reminders even if they are
technically superfluous, especially when the second one is on a different
page. I need a function that effectively says Take whatever the previous

I have tried explicitly inserting /partcombineUnisono/ or turning
/printPartCombineTexts/ off then immediately on again, in an attempt to jolt
Lilypond into forgetting any prevailing a2 status, but

Right now, the system is composed of nested include files (one for the lyrics, one for the music, another to put the two together in combination, another to apply a layout, etc.), but eventually it will be database-driven, with an outside script generating the LP code to run. The idea is to allow end users to mix and match compatible texts and tunes. Since the template system is explicitly designed for output to multiple formats (print and screen) AND because I am endeavoring to keep phrases intact on a line (which is absolutely critical for usability on slides), I do not leave line breaks to chance. I have explicit line breaks in all my scores. This is why your issue isn't a factor for me, since a chorus/refrain theoretically should always begin a new phrase (and thus, can be shunted to a new line).
