This may be a good idea.
But i'm worried that Valentin didn't answer.  Does someone have a more
direct contact with him?  Graham, maybe?  Or Mike - you were both

see
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/notation/paper-size-and-automatic-scaling#setting-the-paper-size:
"When the set-paper-size function is used, it must be placed before any
other functions
used within the same \paper block."

otherwise they (the functions you invoked) are overwritten.

Looks like #(set-paper-size) sets these values. So if you use it after 
setting values manually they get silently overridden.

Question about \paper{} as a curiosity

2013-11-20 Thread Joshua Nichols
I noticed something I was typesetting recently:

Whenever I mark my margins inside \paper{} before setting the #(set-paper-size
"x"), it ignores any indent, top-margin, or bottom-margin commands. But,
whenever I set the paper size before the margins, it obeys the other
commands.

How come? I glanced over the reference, and couldn't find anything about it.

Snippet below:

\paper {

  #(set-paper-size "letter")

  right-margin = 1\in

  left-margin = 1\in

  top-margin = 1\in

  bottom-margin = 1\in

  indent = 0\in

  }


= correct output


\paper {

  right-margin = 1\in

  left-margin = 1\in

  top-margin = 1\in

  bottom-margin = 1\in

  indent = 0\in

  #(set-paper-size "letter")

  }

It doesn't work when I add more lines of lyrics to it. I'm using the shortened
code below which gives me a funky line arrangements, but my music breaks at end
of "part one" so the lyrics line spacing returns to normal.

%===
\version "2.16.2"

\clef treble
\key c \major

melodyII = \relative c' {

\new Voice = "part one"{ \melodyII }

\new Voice = "part two"{ \melodyIII }

please reply to all

each time you \write \new Lyrics a _new_ context is created which also means
a new line. to write to the same line use \context

I guess this is what you want:

\score {
  <<
\new Staff {
  \repeat volta 3 {
\new Voice = "intro"   { \melodyI }
\new Voice = "part one"{ \melodyII }
  }
  \new Voice = "part two"{ \melodyIII }
}
% lyrics line 1
\new Lyrics = " line 1" \lyricsto "part one" {
  \lyricI
}
\context Lyrics = " line 1" \lyricsto "part two" {
  \lyricIV
}
\new Lyrics = " line 2" \lyricsto "part one" {
  \altI
}
\context Lyrics = " line 2" \lyricsto "part two" {
  \altIV
}
% lyrics line 2

They might need a copyright assignment for that to be on the safe side,
and the plugin might solve the problem at a location that does not make
sense for the codebase proper.

We have a whole lot of solutions for various problems in the LSR instead
of LilyPond's codebase as well.

> Anyone wants to write a blog post about it? ;-) I'm too busy now.

Well, I do find it amusing, but it's not like we are in a position to
gloat regarding user contributions.

The good thing is that power users/programmers can contribute to the
_core_ and are not reduced to producing "plugins".  And a considerable
part of the core is manageable via Scheme rather than C++ and does not
require recompilation for munging LilyPond.

At least we are getting our stem lengths consistently better (not just
tremoli).  The Finale stem lengths, also regarding beamed notes, looks
rather consistently disproportionate when compared with actual engraved
scores (not just in comparison to LilyPond).

Gardner agrees with Gould: "Accidentals must also be repeated in a measure if 
any of the octave signs is used over or under a note affected by an 
accidental."  As an accidental not included in a key signature only affects the 
pitch it precedes I'd say the octavated chord needs accidentals, if only to 
ensure that sight-reading becomes a tiny little bit less ambiguous.

The duplicate rests section didn't register with my brain until a few
seconds later. I certainly prefer the 2014 "look" more with the merging, for
sure, but my eyes didn't process that as "standout" focus point nearly as
much as that tremolo did.

My gut feeling would be to treat this exactly as if the 8va indication
would not be present, namely as notes of the same pitch.

Including adding accidentals if _indeed_ notes of the same pitch were
repeated one _visual_ octave lower.

But it's likely that someone has a book available where the gut feeling
of an actual expert would be spelled out.

Hi,

please consider the situation in the attached (or inline?) image.



a chord is repeated an octave higher, which is indicated by an
\ottava.
Does the repeated chord need accidentals or not?
Both accidentals in the first chord are necessary (not reminder)
accidentals, so the repeated chord actually has _different_ notes
and should need accidentals of its own. But somehow it seems
ridiculous to print them again at the same staff position.

Are there rules for this? Do you have any opinions?
