Hi everyone,

> update the LSR snippet? I'm not allowed to. Thanks!

Has anyone else noticed that this [amazing] function results in it being 
impossible to tweak the LyricText.self-alignment-X property? (See example, 
below.)
Is there a fix?

Thanks,
Kieren.

Had overlooked it. Thanks for the hint!
I now come up with the code below.
Not sure, if the list picking is really save. Some more tests needed, I guess.
At least it works in the examples.

\version "2.19.1"

#(define-markup-list-command (line-parts layout props args)(markup-list?)
  (let* ((ls (if (chain-assoc-get (cadar args) props)

In paper-defaults-init.ly there are these lines:

  footnote-padding = 0.5\mm
  footnote-footer-padding = 0.5\mm
  footnote-number-raise = 0.5\mm

This seems a bit tight—should it be \cm?

Hi Vaughan,

I think you’re looking for

footnote-separator-markup = ##f

(e.g., in your \paper block).
FYI: you can also change how much padding is above and below it, or change its 
appearance (e.g., colour, thickness, etc.)!

Hope this helps!

Removing the dividing line above footnotes

[Vaughan McAlley]

Hi,

In this particular case (see attached), it would be nice not to have a line
above the footnotes. It doesn’t mix well with word extensions in the bass
line. As far as I can tell, everything in the Internals Reference about
footnotes relates to the part that is in the music. I’m very happy to be
proved wrong though!

That's why I was suggesting making \line-parts a markup list command
rather than a markup command as you do here:

For what I know the point about right-to-left scripts is that the 
writing isn't simply mirrored, but the glyphs in themselves remain, only 
to be arranged the other way round. Which I think might have to be 
implemented at a much more basic level... (In XeTeX this feature is 
available, so as far as text is concerned, one might take a solution or 
ideas from there.)
However this is on text and I don't know anything about music 
typesetting conventions.

Hi David,

thanks for your thoughts.
I tried the \line-parts approach:
Although it is quite easy to split a simple markup back into a
markup-list, I found no way to return a simple list of markups (or
stencils) from a markup-command.
It seems it's always necassary to do something with said list before
returning it. I wasn't able to circumvent that.

Thoughts?

Some dummy/example code below:

\version "2.19.1"

#(define-markup-command (line-parts layout props arg)(markup?)
  (let* ((args (cadr arg))
 (mrkp-ls (map (lambda (x) (markup x)) args))
 (stils (interpret-markup-list layout props args)))

  (display "\n\targ\t")(display arg)
  (display "\n\t\tmarkup-list?\t")(display (markup-list? arg))

  (display "\n\targs\t")(display args)
  (display "\n\t\tmarkup-list?\t")(display (markup-list? args))

  (display "\n\tmrkp-ls\t")(display mrkp-ls)
  (display "\n\t\tmarkup-list?\t")(display (markup-list? mrkp-ls))

  (display "\n\tstils\t")(display stils)
  (display "\n\t\tmarkup-list?\t")(display (markup-list? stils))

  (newline)

  ;; none of these works:
  ;arg
  ;args
  ;mrkp-ls
  ;stils

  (interpret-markup layout props arg)
  ))

\markup \fill-line { \line-parts \line { "Xxx" "Yyy" } }

  Harm

Me too.  The main problem I see is that \fromproperty returns a markup,
not a markup list.  You try fudging around that, but that's not
convincing.  So what I think is needed is a

\fromproperty-lines

instead.  If course, this would require _all_ uses of page:title to
expect a property list.

Another approach would be to have a markup list command

\line-parts

that takes a line markup and splits it back into a markup list.  Then
you can use something like

title = \markup { "First part" "second part" } (which is an implicit
form of \markup \line { "First part" "second part" }), and use something
like
\center-column \line-parts \fromproperty #'page:title
in order to get the split version.

In the end, this sounds like something that could benefit from the
"markup/markup-list unification" project.

Could you send us a short example (2 to 5 measures - music & lyrics) ?

I'm sure it's possible.

Multiple lily versions on ubuntu

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello,

I recently exchanged Windows for Lubuntu on my computer. Lilypond 2.18.0 
is already installed and I want to add 2.19.3, but when I run the 
installing file, it requires that I uninstall the "old" versions before 
installing the new one. However, I want to have both at hand, as it 
seems to me is common use (correct me if I'm mistaken).
So first, is it a good idea just to rename the existing directory into 
/lilypond_2.18.0 and thus escape the problem? And second, wouldn't it be 
handy to provide for multiple lily versions installed at the same time 
or at least make this an easily available option in the installation 
process (like --keepold for example)?

Best regards,

Simon

Ok, check your ~/.fonts.conf (might be also ~/.config/fontconfig/fonts.conf), 
mine on OSX looks like this:





~/.fonts.cache-1

/System/Library/Fonts
/Library/Fonts
~/Library/Fonts
~/FontExplorer\ X/Font\ Library
/Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Fonts
~/Library/texmf/tex

Cardo doesn't appear anywhere in the list, but I can use it just fine
in other programs.

I tried it today on my Ubuntu machine and experienced the same
problem. I tried running fc-cache -f and then deleting the lilypond
font cache, but even still it doesn't appear as an option. Also I
can't find it anywhere on my machine, not in the usual folders
(/usr/share/fonts, /usr/local/share/fonts, ~/.fonts - the last one
doesn't even exist on my system), which makes me wonder where the
system put it at all. Normal file searches yield nothing.
