Petrucci clef/time signature spacing issue

Re: Horizontal note spacing
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. 2013/10/1 David Kastrup d...@gnu.org LaurenH l.v.had...@sms.ed.ac.uk writes: I'm looking for a music writing program that will allow me to precisely control horizontal spacing for use in a psychology sight-reading study. 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.

\jazzOn vs. \improvisationOn
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.

Re:Two possible bugs when dealing with Automatic note splitting
I posted some details about this a week ago, No, you didn't.

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.

How to print just a tempo in a LaTeX document?
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).

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.

Re: How to insert a trill without the tr symbol?
Glad you got it working! And yes, because syntax can change over time, it's always important to include the version statement so we can get the full picture and offer correct feedback.Welcome to the LilyPond community,Ben searchfgold6789 wrote Thanks much, it is working now.

Re: How to print just a tempo in a LaTeX document?
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. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
