lilypond parsing not converting

2013-10-03 Thread David Bijok
Hi all,
firstly sorry for my English ;-)

I installed lilypond on windows XP (c:/Program Files/LilyPond/) and 
Frescobaldi editor and I have this problem: 
When I edit file and no save it, the parsing and generation of pdf goes 
normaly.

Starting lilypond.exe 2.16.1 [testing.ly]...
Processing 
`c:/docume~1/david/locals~1/temp/frescobaldi-dh2rq7/tmpdmg9qe/testing.ly'
Parsing...

Finding the ideal number of pages...
Fitting music on 1 page...
Drawing systems...
Layout output to `testing.ps'...
Converting to `./testing.pdf'...
Success: compilation successfully completed
Completed successfully in 1.8.

But when I save this file, the lilypond don't generate pdf.

Starting lilypond.exe 2.16.1 [testing.ly]...
Processing `I:/PortableApps/LilyPond/Data/testing.ly'
Parsing...

Is there somebody, who knows the solution of my problem?

Thanks. DaW

My guess is that you have two different files named testing.ly in two

Petrucci clef/time signature spacing issue

2013-10-03 Thread Werner LEMBERG

If I say

  \override Score.TimeSignature.style = #'mensural
  \override NoteHead.style = #'petrucci

  \clef petrucci-c3
  \time 2/2
  c'2 c'4 c'4

I wonder why there is such a large gap between the clef and the time
signature.  Looks quite unnatural IMHO.

Agreed.  I think it's because the time sig is always placed in the same

Re: Horizontal note spacing

2013-10-03 Thread Franciszek Boehlke
I tried my simple approach to disabling collision detection, but I didn't
get desired (or deserved, as I smartly wrote in previous mail :P) effect -
spaces between notes with accidentals were still slightly wider than other,
and some other spacing rules got very wrong. Well, I expected it to work a
bit better.

Cheers,
Franek


2013/10/1 Franciszek Boehlke franio.kropk...@gmail.com

 I'm not completely sure of that, but disabling springs should be quite
 easy to do (in C++ code), and effect might be what is deserved, i.e. no
 smart spacing. However, it can result in lots of collisions in some cases.
 Maybe I'll try it today or tomorrow, I'd like to remind myself spring code
 a bit.

  I'm looking for a music writing program that will allow me to precisely

 You are probably best off writing your own program then.  LilyPond does
 so many tweaks and finetunes and optical spacing and what else that it
 will take a lot of work to wrest control of horizontal spacing in its
 entirety from it.

 Now you can, like, use LilyPond's markup constructs in order to puzzle
 things together starting at music glyphs.  Whether that is a more
 convenient path for you than just using any old program (or possibly Urs
 Liska's project of making LilyPond glyphs accessible to LaTeX) is a
 different question.

 It might also be worth looking at MusiXTeX, actually: one of its main
 nuisances is that you are yourself responsible for every tiny bit of
 spacing and collision avoidance and whatever.  For your task, that might
 be rather an advantage.

\jazzOn vs. \improvisationOn

2013-10-03 Thread Jim Long
There is a known issue that prevents \improvisationOn from working
with LilyJAZZ and \jazzOn.

a) Is that issue terribly gnarly, or is there a likelihood that
the two modes might be made compatible sometime soon?  It does
seem a tad ironic.

b) How can I work around the problem in a piece which starts in
improv. mode?  The closest attempt I have made so far is
attached, which involves specifying simultaneous music with
non-jazz mode to produce the improv slashes, and a simultaneous
jazz mode spacer rest to render the clef/key/time signature using
the LilyJAZZ glyphs.  My first guess was to scale the spacer rest
to 0, but that defeats the jazz glyphs, and gives me Lily's
standard clef, etc.

If anyone can offer an improved workaround, I'd be very grateful.

Regards,

Jim

Re:Two possible bugs when dealing with Automatic note splitting

2013-10-03 Thread Jim Tisdall



I posted some details about this a week ago,


No, you didn't.  Not wanting a repetition of fingerings and string
numbers would be a feature request: I don't think that would ever have
worked differently.

-- David Kastrup




Ah, true.  I reported fingerings and string numbers being repeated
unnecessarily when automatic note splitting was invoked, whereas
this new post reported some accidentals being repeated in somewhat
similar circumstances.  Pardon my confusion.

Since I find the note splitting unusable with the proliferation of
incorrect fingerings (incorrect in the sense of how scores are
normally fingered) I do request this feature.  I would be willing
to tackle it myself if I can ask someone to help me identify the
parts of the code which would need attention.  Before the rest completion
was added, I wrote some score filter code that handled splitting, so I can just
use that for rests and notes for the time being.

Thanks,
Jim

How to print just a tempo in a LaTeX document?

2013-10-03 Thread Kevin Zembower
Hello,

I have a lilypond-book document that contains four short pieces of
music. All of the music uses the same tempo (quarter note = 90). I'd
like to just print the tempo indication once, and not for each piece. I
thought I saw a method to print a quarter note, an equals sign and '90',
in a way similar to how LaTeX prints mathematical symbols between dollar
signs.

I tried this in my lilypond-book document:
  \lilypond[quote,fragment]{\tempo 4 = 90}
but I just got an error complaining about a score with no music, and a
big blank vertical space in my document. See below my signature for my
complete lilypond-book file.

Can anyone help me with this, or point out to me an example of how it's
done?

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

Re: How to print just a tempo in a LaTeX document?

2013-10-03 Thread Urs Liska
If you are using xelatex or lualatex you can use the lilyglyphs package which 
will allow you to print this as a normal text paragraph.
This would then look like

\quaver{} = 90

And that's all :-)

I'm not absolutely sure about the values for 'stem-attachment, though.

At least I feel quite convinced about the output from the example.

The default, 'slash and 'cross.

Re: How to connect Midi keyboard to Lilypond?

Things are working, but using VMPK is kind of confusing. I am not sure what
the velocity knob does or what the bend slider does. It's very difficult
to use these tools because:

 - Lifting a key up even slightly causes an undesired rest to be put in
 - It seems to be impossible to play in a way that rumor outputs the notes
/where you want them/ in the measure.

How to insert a trill without the tr symbol?

2013-10-03 Thread searchfgold6789
Hi,

What I'm looking for is some way to implement \startTrillSpan and
\stopTrillSpan in music without having the tr symbol: so just trill line.

Is there any way to do that? I checked the internals reference but that was
not helpful...

 - R.

Re: How to connect Midi keyboard to Lilypond?

Things are working, but using VMPK is kind of confusing. I am not sure what
the velocity knob does or what the bend slider does. It's very difficult
to use these tools because:


Try to attach VMPK to a softsynth and you will find out what velocity 
and bend do soon enough. Or google for MIDI velocity and MIDI pitch 
bend. But it's not important for use with rumor and lilypond.



- Lifting a key up even slightly causes an undesired rest to be put in
- It seems to be impossible to play in a way that rumor outputs the notes
/where you want them/ in the measure.


First study the output of

rumor --help

Options you should try for example are:
-l or --legato: gets rid of all those rests
--flat: only print notenames, not durations

If you really don't want to use --flat, you can not only connect VMPK to 
Rumor, but also you MUST connect Rumor to a (soft)synth like Fluidsynth: 
You can not enter notes correctly in the measure without a metronome 
reference sound.


P.S.

We warned you that just entering notes by hand is easier :-)

Well, that's the reason why you should _always_ mention your version.

Try:

Thank you very much for this solution, Harm.  With that patch to

I would encourage you to provide your patch to Torsten to

Re: How to print just a tempo in a LaTeX document?

2013-10-03 Thread David Kastrup
Kevin Zembower kzembo...@verizon.net writes:

 Hello,

 I have a lilypond-book document that contains four short pieces of
 music. All of the music uses the same tempo (quarter note = 90). I'd
 like to just print the tempo indication once, and not for each piece. I
 thought I saw a method to print a quarter note, an equals sign and '90',
 in a way similar to how LaTeX prints mathematical symbols between dollar
 signs.

 I tried this in my lilypond-book document:
   \lilypond[quote,fragment]{\tempo 4 = 90}
 but I just got an error complaining about a score with no music,

For me,

  \lilypond[quote]{\new Lyrics \tempo 4 = 90}

works just fine, but requires at least version 2.17.8, exactly because
of that score with no music issue.

You can probably do

\begin{lilypond}
  \new Lyrics { \tempo 4 = 90  }
\end{lilypond}

in older versions.  That additionally typesets one quarter note of 
lyrics.
