 Hi Janek,

 Thank you for all your continuing and wonderful work on curves in particular, 
 and Lilypond in general!

Why, thanks! I'm not sure if you're not exaggerating, i've been
failing to keep up recently and i think i failed some people because
of my lack of time :(

 1. Would you consider putting all your tweaks and shortcuts in a file — on 
 GitHub, maybe? ;) — so that we can all benefit from your expertise?

If you mean tie and slur tweaks, they were added in a comment under
the post.  As for the rest of the functions, yes, i do intend to
publish them in openlilylib/snippets.

 2. When might HDLCCO (the highly-desirable Lilypond curve-code overhaul”) 
 happen?

No idea.  It will definitely not happen before March (end of my
internship), and i don't know how my situation will look like after
that.  I hope that i will have some time no later than summer
sorry :-/

best,
Janek

Subject: insert whitespace to fill line





I'm trying to make music-snippet images using lilypond, but I'd like each
snippet to always have trailing whitespace so that each of these images 
is

of the same width.  Ultimately, these images will be embedded in an
emacs-org file (I am aware of lilypond-book).

I'm following the suggestions from the documentation, so I have a .ly file
something like:

   \paper{
   indent=0\mm
   line-width=120\mm
   oddFooterMarkup=##f
   oddHeaderMarkup=##f
   bookTitleMarkup = ##f
   scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
   }
   \relative c' { c4 d e f | g a b c } % I'd like to insert whitespace to
fill line here

and compile it using 'lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts
-dinclude-eps-fonts --png test.ly' and it produces a file that is 241 
pixels

wide.

If I make the snippet three bars, e.g. with c4 d e f | g a b c | c b a g, 
I

get a file that is 335 pixels wide.

Ultimately, I'm going to insert these images into a document, and I'd like
to be able to use the same width for all of the images, and have the
staff/notes be the same size.

I don't want to key off of the height of the images (which is the same in
this case), because some of the snippets will span multiple lines.

I don't want to pad with s1's since the empty bars will be distracting.

Is there a way to pad the line with whitespace to that the produced 
files

have the same width?

Ok, you can start a longish discussion about pros and cons of different
chord shapes, but in the cases where the second variant fits nicely, the
seveth fret form is just too far away from the rest of the chords.

For Fedora the situation isn't that bad IMO if you stick to the stable

2014/1/11 Kieren MacMillan kieren_macmil...@sympatico.ca:
 1. Would you consider putting all your tweaks and shortcuts in a file —
 on GitHub, maybe? ;) — so that we can all benefit from your expertise?

Since you're another person who asks about this, i did what i could
considering little time i have now: i copied all relevant files to
openlilylib/snippets repo and did some very basic cleanup.

http://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/tree/master/fried-library-to-be-sorted

There's still a lot of cleanup to do, but i don't have time now and
probably won't have for next few months :(  At least this should now
be in a state where you can look at it, learn and use for your
purposes.

Of course, if anyone would like to contribute back by cleaning up the
snippets, that would be very welcome!  (there are some contributing
instructions here
https://github.com/openlilylib/snippets/#contributing)

I'm sorry, but that's really all i can do for quite some time.

Yup. It isn't very accurate and the amount if times you have to redraw an item

Re: Position of text and symbol above note

2014-01-12 Thread Kieren MacMillan
Hi Frederico,

 the last string in this example is slightly upper, do you know why?

This is related to the feature I’ve been requesting for years — and which I 
reiterated just a few days ago 
(http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/baseline-referenced-text-markups-tp157452p157511.html).

For some typographically-inexplicable reason, Lilypond does not use the text 
baseline as the reference point.
Hence, because “dal al” has no descenders and “poi segue” does, they are not 
aligned correctly.

Hope this helps (?).
Kieren.

Hi Kieren,

Thanks for looking up the engraving rules.

According to Gould — which is, nowadays, the musical analogue of “according to 
Hoyle” — the *tie* should be adjusted and not the *dot*.
So Boosey  Hawkes’s style is not the convention, but rather an editorial quirk.



I tweaked Lilypond's ties and they look ok now with the dots 'up'. But I 
must admit that I like the dotsDown when there is a fermata.

setting ragged-right=##f makes the systems stretch to fill the whole line; I

Hi David,

do you mean without streching? You can set the width of the StaffSymbol
to a fixed one. Is that what you want?

\version 2.18.0
\layout { \override Staff.StaffSymbol #'width = 70 }
{ a }
{ a b a b a b a b }

But please be aware, that if the content is longer than 'width', the
staffsymbol stops nonetheless.
\paper{ line-width = … } has to be adjusted to prevent this.

I'm not aware of automatic image cropping, unless you're using the preview 
setting.


I'd misunderstood earlier.  If you use paper-width in you paper block, 
you'll control the size of the output image.

   \once \override TupletBracket #'style = #'dashed-line
   \once \override TupletBracket #'dash-period = #1
   \once \override TupletBracket #'dash-fraction = #1/6

I wrote 'dashed instead of 'dashed-line in the second line. Wrong guess.

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/internals/line_002dinterface
tells me about the stencil callback. Is there a place in the docs that
tell me the available line styles?

Rest skipped in MIDI when music starts with it

2014-01-12 Thread Martin Tarenskeen


Hi,

When, using Lilypond 2.19.0, if my score starts with a rest, the resulting 
MIDI file does NOT start with a rest.


%minimal example
\score {
  \version 2.19.0
  \relative c' {
R1 | c d e f | R1 | f e d c |
  }
  \midi {}
}
%end of example

Result: The MIDI file starts without a rest in the first bar.
The rest in the 3rd bar behaves normally.

Is this a bug, or intentional?

 Why would you use \vcenter?  You don't _want_ the reference point to

Mmmh, I'm always confused about what is the reference point...
I can use \translate or \general-align instead:

\markup {

 Rummaging around I discovered this.

 It looks like the y extent is hard coded.

Argh!!  That description is *wrong*; extents aren't hard-coded.
Someone who wrote that description deserves to be punished by having
to use Finale v1 instead of LilyPond!  How could anyone write

Proper description is

When I use rosegarden or midi2ly I can see the rest is simply there.

How to align object with far right edge of all kinds of barline?

2014-01-12 Thread Philip Thomas
I want to print a graphical object in the right margin that _just touches_ the 
far right edge of the barline at the end of the staff line. I have been 
experimenting with a postscript object included in a \mark \markup {  } 
expression as a RehearsalMark, with an adjustment of the break alignment 
visibility. Vertical placement is not a problem, but I haven’t succeeded in 
achieving precise horizontal placement that works for all kinds of barline.

 

The appearance is OK when the final barline on the line is a single barline, 
but when there is a double or thin + thick barline, the object overlaps with 
the barline. It appears that the default left alignment is to the _centre_ of 
the overall barline width rather than to the _right edge_ of it. Having to fix 
the horizontal placement separately for each kind of barline would work, of 
course, but would be a pain in the butt, and may not work for all staff sizes.

 

I would prefer to find a general solution (including a fixed horizontal spacing 
adjustment, if necessary) that works for _all_ kinds of barline.

 

It seemed to me that a solution that relies on the far right edge of the 
barline ought to work, but I haven’t found any way of doing that from my 
reading of the manuals.

 

Another possibility might be to align the object with the far right edge of the 
staff itself (rather than of the barline at the end of the line) but I have not 
found a way of doing that either.

 

Any suggestions as to how to go about looking for a solution would be greatly 
appreciated.

My hack around this is to begin (each part) with
some arbitrary pitch/duration at _zero_ Velocity
(with the Rest just following, of course).

This has suited my purposes, though I expect it

page margins

2014-01-12 Thread Noeck
Hi,

what is the reason that the default margins are so small?

They are (top/botton, left/right | inner/outer in mm):
5/6, 10/10 | 10/20

If I compare to printed scores, they are usually larger:
Edition Peters:  10/12, 17/17
Boosey  Hawkes: 11/24, 14/14

I understand the goal to save space for the music content.
But there are some drawbacks:

- most printers cannot print so close to the paper edge
  (especially top/bottom)
- this either cuts into the printed page content
- or requires to scale the content while printing
- it looks too squeezed (cf. the simple example below)
- it is non-standard compared to most publishers

In addition the top-markup-spacing is 0 which makes the title look very
squashed to the top. I would prefer something around 4 or 5 mm (or one
text line height).

I see that this has been discussed before in 2009:
http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/default-margins-tp44740p44741.html
with margin measurments for many publishers but without a visible
conclusion for Lilypond.
There is now (or some time ago) a Mutopia discussion whether larger
margins should be enforced or not:
https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/issues/141
but I think if LilyPond delivered printable default settings, this would
be the best solution.

I have no reference book on this at hand, but my proposal is:
10/15 15/15 | 10/20
and a top-markup-spacing basic-distance of about 4\mm.

Could this be added to the issue tracker?

Cheers,
Joram

Hi Joram,

I would rather say, what is the reason that almost all the defaults (margins,

I’m hoping to submit a more attractive set of defaults for consideration, the

(That being said, I’ve got a bunch of projects “in air traffic control”, so I

Re: page margins

I agree with Kieren. Page margins are oddly narrow and that maybe due
to modern habits or the paper shortages during the wars. But it should
definitely be something that is examined more closely. If people are
interested I could take some measurements of scores to find out if
there is useful pattern more than a rule of thumb as it were.

 I would rather say, what is the reason that almost all the defaults (margins, 
 staff size, headers/titles, etc.) are so unattractive?  ;)

 I’m hoping to submit a more attractive set of defaults for consideration, the 
 moment I get my current engraving project done.
 (That being said, I’ve got a bunch of projects “in air traffic control”, so I 
 may not ever get around to it…)

 Cheers,
 Kieren.

Re: page margins

2014-01-12 Thread Kieren MacMillan
Hi Shane,

 I could take some measurements of scores to find out if
 there is useful pattern more than a rule of thumb as it were.

I’ve already got lots of measurements, etc.
The problem is getting them into a submittable form…

Cheers,
Kieren.

Re: decrescendo mark

2014-01-12 Thread pabuhr
 I want the decrescendo mark to extend from the first bar into the second 
bar,
 ending under the c,4 node. What do I have to do to make this happen?

Search the documentation for “to-barline”.

Perfect. If I'd flick one more page, I would have found it.

fingering treatment

2014-01-12 Thread Shane Brandes
Hi all I came up with the following as way of indicating the
indecisive fingering in Godowsky's score from Urs's challenge. This is
definitely not the best since it involves 3 tweaks and additional
would mess up an analysis count should one ever take it onto there
heads to measure tenuto mark frequencies. It bothers me to use such a
mark for the wrong purpose. Anyone have any better solutions?

\version 2.18.0

{
c'4-\tweak #'Y-offset #02.5 -3 -\tweak #'Y-offset #4 -\tenuto-\tweak
#'Y-offset #4.5 -4
}

Re: Overriding (dashed) ties when entering lyrics

2014-01-12 Thread Janek Warchoł
2014/1/13 muggle rauy...@aucklanduni.ac.nz:
 When I put in lyrics, each syllable that I enter falls under a note in
 melody, unless the note is tied over. Is there a way to override this
 feature when the tie is say, dashed?

Search for melismaBusyProperties in the documentation.

hth,
Janek

Re: page margins

2014-01-12 Thread Janek Warchoł
2014/1/13 Noeck noeck.marb...@gmx.de:
 Hi,

 what is the reason that the default margins are so small?

Someone should do 'git blame' to see the commit that did this.
..actually, judging by the link you provided
(http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/default-margins-tp44740p44741.html)
the reason was probably to have line-width the same as in music
published by respected publishers, which uses *different* paper size.

 They are (top/botton, left/right | inner/outer in mm):
 5/6, 10/10 | 10/20

 If I compare to printed scores, they are usually larger:
 Edition Peters:  10/12, 17/17
 Boosey  Hawkes: 11/24, 14/14

 I understand the goal to save space for the music content.
 But there are some drawbacks:

 - most printers cannot print so close to the paper edge
   (especially top/bottom)
 - this either cuts into the printed page content
 - or requires to scale the content while printing
 - it looks too squeezed (cf. the simple example below)
 - it is non-standard compared to most publishers

I agree, this was bothering me for ages.

 In addition the top-markup-spacing is 0 which makes the title look very
 squashed to the top. I would prefer something around 4 or 5 mm (or one
 text line height).

 I see that this has been discussed before in 2009:
 http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/default-margins-tp44740p44741.html
 with margin measurments for many publishers but without a visible
 conclusion for Lilypond.
 There is now (or some time ago) a Mutopia discussion whether larger
 margins should be enforced or not:
 https://github.com/chrissawer/The-Mutopia-Project/issues/141
 but I think if LilyPond delivered printable default settings, this would
 be the best solution.

 I have no reference book on this at hand, but my proposal is:
 10/15 15/15 | 10/20
 and a top-markup-spacing basic-distance of about 4\mm.

I agree with left/right margins, but not top/bottom.  Top/bottom are
more tricky because you *want* to allow the page to compress when
there's really a lot of content; so the adjustment should be done
using compressible top-markup-spacing and the like.

Keep in mind that the tagline is present on just one page, and the
bottom whitespace area is quite different from bottom-margin because
of tagline.

 Could this be added to the issue tracker?

Let's first have an agreed-upon proposal.

I suggest the following way forward: let's discuss horizontal margins
separately from vertical ones.  It should be a no-brainer to increase
horizontal margins at least to 12 mm (although 15 seems indeed quite
ok for me).  Depending on how long it would take Kieren to get to this
(2 weeks or 2 months?) we should or should not wait for him.  Since
we've just released 2.18, there should be no problem in making
decisions quite swiftly.

Unfortunately i won't be able to do much more here, but you have my support!
