I've tried using the terminal, I cannot get anything to pull up. Truth be
told, however, I feel a bit turned around. But your help and support is
wonderful, and I will keep hacking at it until I can get something to work.

There were examples scrubbed in the mailing list that I was not able to
look at (other than this extendable one quoted a couple times). Help on
that?

Somewhat related: How in the world do I invoke lilypond or lilypond-book in
LaTeX, or TexWorks?

I hate to sound idiotic, but I don't see *anything* talking about how to
use lilypond-book in TeX systems anywhere. The documentation in
lilypond.orgonly describes how to use it, but I don't see a full
example with
inclusions on how to get any TeX system to recognize lilypond, or
lilypond-book.

I'm a bit frustrated about this; I spent hours looking this up. HELP? What
am I missing?!? I hope this is an idiotic claim; I hope someone can be
patient with me about this.

Josh

 Hi Keith,

 thanks for your reply!

 May I ask what the reasons were for
 removing that technique?

 Probably, no-one watching the changes knew that this was a technique.

 that would be a pity!

LilyPond can't support everything which people consider a technique:
there are many things that work more by chance than anything else.

In this case, it was a _documented_ technique, however:
URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3641.  If you
find one of _those_ breaking, pointing out the respective part of the
documentation greatly increases your chance of getting a fix.

 my impression from following the lily-mailing list for some time
 (years, actually) now is that the vast majority of users is concerned
 with classical music only.

Well, I'm playing the accordion.

 also, David Kastrup's quote in my OP seems to indicate that putting
 chord names right inside the staff is (in his experience) not a
 plausible thing to do in music in general.  I assume therefore that
 not many lilypond-users actually do this and that the reason for
 removing this technique was a matter of code hygiene rather than
 actual engraving problems. (Please forgive me if I'm wrong - I don't
 know about the internals of lilypond.)

The problem was not one of code hygiene.  The problem was
URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2990: due to
improvements elsewhere, LilyPond simply crashed on your input while
eating all the memory.  The change made it spew error messages and
hobble on instead.  Not the best improvement, but better than a hard
crash.

 that assumption is backed by (I can't stress this enough) the fact
 that the results really were fantastic, and the code for achieving
 this result was incredibly elegant,

Not really...

 easy, not to mention intuitive, and the compiling process/time (very
 short scores, admittedly) hinted at no problems at all. so, there
 really was no reason for me to assume that this possibility was a
 candidate for removal ...

It's easy to to

\layout {
  \context {
\ChordNames
\name ChordNamesInStaff
\alias ChordNames
\remove Axis_group_engraver
  }
  \context {
\Staff
\accepts ChordNamesInStaff
  }
}

and then use \new ChordNamesInStaff whenever you want.  That will work
fine and also let you differentiate between the two (\new ChordNames
will automatically go outside of a Staff).

That's reasonably elegant.

What isn't elegant is the kind of stuff that occurs when you don't do
that.  It's not as bad as a hard crash, but not pretty either.

 thank you also for your solutions. I shall try them out - at first
 glance and playing around a bit, I'm not sure if I can use them
 without doing a lot of re-coding in my old scores. I guess I'll rather
 revert back to 2.16 instead of doing that ...

Well, 2.17.96 will likely have that fix from issue 3641 (in about two
weeks), and 2.18.0 will likely follow suit.  Then your old scores should
at least not suffer from this problem.

This VerticalAxisGroup thing was actually on my can't we do this more
sanely before 2.18? list.

No, the PostScript is still fine.  But when you ask Ghostscript to

 However I have not been able to (due to my superficial knowledge of

 staff scenario):
 1) use fret-diagram-details to set the various parameters it offers.
 It would be best to set this once and for all instead of for every
 single chord
 
 For \markup fret diagrams, you override the fret-diagram-details
 property of a TextScript object (see
 http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/snippets/fretted-strings
 Customizing markup fret diagrams):
 
 \override TextScript  #'(fret-diagram-details . (
(finger-code . below-string)
(number-type . arabic)
(label-dir . -1)
(mute-string . M)
(orientation . landscape)
(barre-type . none)
(xo-font-magnification . 0.4)
(xo-padding . 0.3)))

how/where should I put that in my example? The code in
the link produces a staff, which I don't want (and I didn't find
a way to remove it)... I might be missing something obvious, sorry for
that, as I stated I don't have a good grasp of lilypond's fundamentals
(yeah I know that's a fault on my part, but time is what it is)

 2) Display names on top of chords
 
 For this, you probably don't want to use \markup fret diagrams.
 
 You probably just want to create a score with a ChordNames 

Mmh, I've looked into this and made some tests, but I'd like to enter
my chords with the \fret-diagram strings, not with c e g (or worse
\chordmode{c}) - that is because I'm rather picky about fingerings and I
want to input jazz non-standard chords, so I don't want lilypond to
try to outsmart me, I want to enter exact strings and frets. 

so, basically I'd want to:
1) use \fret-diagram to input chords
2) not have a staff
3) display the chord names I want on top of the diagrams (I want
control over that, not lilypond deciding my chord needs to be called a
Csus13... possibly I'd like to put something like CM7 or Am9)
4) set the properties of fret-diagram-details (like if roman numbers
for the fret number should be upper or lower and so on)

I realise that listed like this it seems like asking much, but
I thought that what I wante was actually pretty simple: just a sheet
with some chords and a way to tune some aesthetics
(fret-diagram-details). just to give an idea of what I'm after I made a
picture of two books I own which have something similar:

http://i.imgur.com/lvAugEJ.jpg

something in that ballpark would be great :)

\relative c' {
  c2 e2 \tuplet 3/2 { f8 a b } a2 e4

a package described anywhere... and everytime I just try using
\begin{lilypond}\end{lilypond} or \lilypond {...}. When I try using

process log

! LaTeX Error: Environment lilypond undefined.


That's after copying and pasting the example given in the documentation.

Evenly spacing lyrics

2013-11-01 Thread Carl Peterson
All,

Is there a way to tell LilyPond to try to space lyrics evenly, as opposed
to spacing notes roughly proportionally? I'm working with an SATB hymn
sheet where there are dotted half notes and quarter notes and eighth notes
all together, and the normal spacing engine that gives more space to longer
notes is causing the lyrics to look badly spaced, particularly on less
dense lines (I manual line break to keep lyrical phrases on one line). see
example1.jpg, attached.

I figured out that I could get fairly even lyrical spacing (or rather,
fairly even note spacing), by setting the shortest note duration
arbitrarily small, as in:

\override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/128)

However, the problem is that it makes the space between the bar line and
the following note rather small and the space between the bar line and the
preceding note larger, as in example2.jpg.

Is there a compromise? A way to get the notes to space evenly regardless of
duration, but still have the notes appear centered between the bars?

Thanks,
Carl

I am also totally up for this idea as well. I have been posting some
questions and answers related to LilyPond programming on the Stack Overflow
website, but unfortunately there are too few people dealing with LilyPond
over there. Stack Exchange also has a website called Musical Practice 
Performance, but I think it is extremely uninteresting and vulgar (IMO, it
consists mainly of questions about guitar tabs or which guitar to buy or
which guitar did [insert famous guitar player name here] use).

Re: Percent repeats and polyphony. Bug?

2013-11-01 Thread Thomas Morley
2013/11/2 Francisco Vila paconet@gmail.com:
 Hello. I bring this from the Spanish list:

 {
   \time 2/4
   \repeat percent 3  b'2 \\ b2 
   \repeat percent 3 b2
 }

 [image attached]

 Here, the repeated part which has polyphony lacks one of the percent
 symbols. Anyone knows why? Thanks.

Hi Francisco,

compiling your example returns


programming error: must have Item for spanner bound of PercentRepeat

  \repeat percent 3  b'2 \\ b2 
atest-22.ly:4737:3: continuing, cross fingers
Preprocessing graphical objects...
programming error: Multi_measure_rest::get_rods (): I am not spanned!
continuing, cross fingers


Not sure about the exact problem, though, initiating a proper context

\new Voice ...

fixes it.


Cheers,
  Harm

JoshTeX systems are not required or intended to recognize either lilypond

 I understood this. But from what I can see in the documentation, my problem
 isn't addressed in the lilypond documentation

What particularly was your problem in applying this to your case?

 I don't know how to get my latex system to recognize the following:

 \begin{lilypond}
 \relative c' {
   c2 e2 \tuplet 3/2 { f8 a b } a2 e4
 }
 \end{lilypond}

LaTeX does not recognize this.  Period.  Simple as that.  The program
that recognizes this is lilypond-book, and lilypond-book then writes a
LaTeX program that LaTeX will be able to work with.

 Probably because I don't have some package.

No.  LaTeX does not recognize this.  There is no package for making it
do that.

 The problem is that I don't see a package described anywhere... and
 everytime I just try using \begin{lilypond}\end{lilypond} or
 \lilypond {...}. When I try using \usepackage{lilypond}, and process
 through LaTeX, I get wierd looks from my process log

 ! LaTeX Error: Environment lilypond undefined.

LaTeX does not recognize this.  On nobody's system.  Anywhere.  There is
no way to make it recognize it.  You use lilypond-book to convert the
file into one that LaTeX can recognize.

I don't know how I can spell this out more clearly.

What's wrong with this list?  Everybody wants to take his LilyPond
business to the web interface of his choice that takes a lot of
additional work over just reading and typing text and further dilutes
the LilyPond knowledge.
