Descant
Hello All, How do I add the descant line on top of the SATB in this .ly file: Ye Holy Angels Bright http://www.geoffhorton.com/hymns/Darwall.ly I would like to make the Descant look like the one on p. 2 here: http://fds.oup.com/www.oup.com/pdf/13/9780193365988.pdf although not in D major, but in C major. Many thanks for your help. best, Emil ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Floating markup
I'm trying to make some easy to read exercises for the little kiddies I
teach. As you can see in the example below I've labelled which line is for
sticking and which is for counting - the only way I could figure out of
getting the markup before any notes was to add it to a spacer grace note (so
as to not affect duration) but as you can see this creates a huge gap.
Switching on strict-note-spacing solves the gap but then pushes the text
very far to the left, and all my attempts at tweaking x-offsets or
\translates haven't worked. Also ideally I'd like to vertically align the
Sticking text so it's centred relative to the two lyric lines.
Does anyone have a better idea for getting what I'm after? I'm feeling the
grace note markup is very hacky but I can't think of a better way!

How do I add the descant line on top of the SATB
The score block currently contains just a ChoirStaff context.
You need to add a new Staff context which runs simultaneously.
So wrap the ChoirStaff block in a pair of double angle brackets
and insert the new Staff at the beginning of this outer block.
A minimal example would then read like:
\score {
\new Staff \new Voice = descants { \descant }
\context ChoirStaff
\context Staff = upper
The attached png has \descant defined as { \transpose c c'' \tenor }

It may seem odd that an X-offset of -4 means slide it to the
right, but working in conjecture mode again, I presume that the
original value of this instance of InstrumentName.X-offset was a
negative number less than -4, so by comparison, -4 *is* to the
right of the original, calculated X-offset value. I tried a value
of 0, and that was much too far to the right.

Or if you're on 2.16, the syntax is \override InstrumentName #'X-offset =

Hi, 2013/10/9 Jacques Menu jacques.m...@epfl.ch Do you think there could be interest in such a tool for anyone else than its author? I'm interested, although i don't have time to delve deeper into this now (that's why i didn't answer immediately) - sorry :-( What would be important for me: making it as generic as possible (so that it wouldn't impose using a particular score structure), even at the cost of some features.

compilation error when using stemlet over rests
Hello all,
I am getting an error when trying to compile the following code:
\version 2.17.28
{
\override Staff.Stem.stemlet-length = 0.75
\clef percussion
a,8-[ r8 c''8 r8 a,8 r8 c''8]
}
The compiler outputs the following message: Exited with return code
-1073741819
I think I kind of figured out what is happening here. Apparently, there is
some conflict between the position of the rests and the stemlets I am trying
to use. This is due to the fact that the gap between the notes in the code
above allow knee beaming. If one adds the following line to the code it will
work well:
\override Beam.auto-knee-gap = ##f
I also noted that in some similar cases LilyPond is able to lower the rests
further down when dealing with the kneed beams, thus allowing enough space
for the stemlets and so everything works well:
\version 2.17.28
{
\override Staff.Stem.stemlet-length = 0.75
\clef percussion
a,8-[ r8 c''8 a,8]
}
{
\override Staff.Stem.stemlet-length = 0.75
\override Beam.auto-knee-gap = ##f
\clef percussion
a,8-[ r8 c''8 a,8]
}
But this clearly isn't the case on my first minimal example above. So well,
though I already found the solution to my problem (I would not want to use
kneed beams anyway), I though I should share this problem here in the
mailing list, in case someone considers it to be a bug.
Take care,
Gilberto

These would then apply to all the staffs automatically. The rationale is that while a LilyPond score consists of horizontal staffs, it is in fact structured vertically and sometimes it has advantages to treat it as such. For example, using pseudo-LP: This is a variant on the technique I use in my own templating system for SATB hymns. I have one LP file where I define the actual music. In addition to each voice part, I also define a meta-voice that contains the information about key, time signature, bars, etc., that is applied as an additional voice on each staff.
