random notes

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear community,
I've found this snippet
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Snippet?id=274
and I would like to know:
how can I generate pitches with sharp and flats?
How can I change the range of input notes?
Can someone give me a hint?
Thanks,
Stefan

point-and-click (was: Re: vim pointing to pdf-viewer and reverse)

[Rutger Hofman]

One more step needed nowadays

Edit /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince to add the following 2 lines
(replace /usr/ with the prefix of your Lilypond installation):

/usr/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor Ux,
/usr/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile Ux,

# ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evince 
/etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.bin.evince

# /etc/init.d/apparmor restart

Evince appears to have its own set of obstacles. Some Ubuntu pages seem
to suggest the problem (Permission denied) is related to apparmor.d but
I have no clue how to make that behave as desired.


I got it to work after all on Ubuntu Lucid:

I followed instructions in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2007-06/msg00185.html
(and Mark Knoop's follow-up at a lower speed). IFAIU, this configures
Gnome apps to handle 'textedit' commands by invoking
lilypond-invoke-editor.

The apparmor.d stuff:

Edit /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/evince to add the following 2 lines
(replace /usr/ with the prefix of your Lilypond installation):

/usr/bin/lilypond-invoke-editor Ux,
/usr/bin/lilypond-wrapper.guile Ux,

The second line appears necessary because lilypond-invoke-editor is a
symlink to lilypond-wrapper.guile which is actually executed.

Then

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor reload

Rutger

Re: Happy 18th birthday, LilyPond

[Robert Schmaus]

Well, it's called All *Saints* day - you can't get more nebulous (or even 
imaginary) than that. A "Day for celebrating Music", now *that* would be a 
truly global and human thing to celebrate ...

This is hard to explain, and I'm afraid I'm not going to do a good job of
it.

The issue here is that your function needs to be able to distinguish
between tweaks and overrides.  Ideally, it should also be able to handle
basic and directed tweaks.

The predicate for the last argument, ly:symbol-list-or-music?, is there to
distinguish between tweak and override, and it is used in several functions
for this purpose (\shape, \offset, and \alterBroken are those I know
about).  If what follows is music, we get a tweak, if there is a
symbol-list we get an override.

Since that variable needs to be fed either NoteHead in your example or a
music expression, and you need NoteHead to specify the grob you want in a
directed tweak, I added an optional variable, for use with the directed
tweak form.  For a regular tweak, you just leave out that initial NoteHead.

This makes for a bit of awkwardness when you want to specify the object of
your tweak and not let LilyPond determine it for you, but I don't see any
other way.

Hope this helps,
David

Looking for a suggestion with \autochange modification

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hello all,

I'd like to ask you how difficult it would be for me to change the
\autochange function in order to always have pitches c and cis in the treble
clef, as opposed to the current behaviour where the previous note is taken
into consideration?

This is what I am looking for:

 

Would it be possible for me to include a modified autochange function inside
my .ly file so I get the behaviour I want only in this composition? And if
so, how difficult would this modification be? I had a look on what I believe
is the autochange function (
https://github.com/stevage/Lilypond/blob/master/scm/autochange.scm ) but I
can't see what needs to be modified. If someone could point me in the right
direction, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks really a lot and take care,
Gilberto

Text uder the score

[Son_V]

Hi, I should put some instructions at the bottom of a score; I found at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/writing-text how to
write some text, but I wasn't able to find HOW to work with the text, how to
put it on the left or right or at the center of the page, how to make
spaces, how to displace the text vertically, how to make some lines bold or
italic; I've perused in the online and the pdf manuals with no success
(maybe in the guide to Lilypond notation from page 650 up, but it confused
me), nor how to insert a blank line in the example I found. It's not a
complex work, I just want to insert simple instructions for a child's song.
What I should be glad to find is a kind of tutorial about this. Anyone can
help? Thanks.

barnumber | post-event in music function

[Urs Liska]

Hi Scheme wizards, can you help me?

I have two unrelated questions regarding the attached file.
It is a very much stripped down version of a function actually in use.

It takes an annotation from the input file, produces a clickable message 
on the console and colors the affected object. (In reality it does and 
will do more, but that's what's necessary for the example/question).


###
The first question should be quite simple, but I don't seem to find a 
solution on my own: How can I make the function be able to affect only 
selected items, e.g. only one note of the chord in the example (or only 
a specific tie etc.)


When I change the \once \override clause to


\tweak color #magenta #item


it colors all subsequent items of the given type.


###
The other issue is probably trickier. Is it possible (at all) to 
determine the current barnumber from within such a music function? I 
want to print that to the console along with the other arguments and 
particularly to annotation files.

Is there any hope in achieving that?


TIA
Urs

\version "2.18.2"

annotate =
#(define-music-function (parser location properties item)
   (ly:context-mod? symbol-list-or-music?)
   ;; annotates a musical object for use with lilypond-doc

   (let*
(
  ;; create dummy alist (is that necessary?)
  (props '( )))

;; Add or replace props entries taken from the properties argument
(map (lambda (mod) (set! props
 (assoc-set! props
   (symbol->string (cadr mod)) (caddr mod
  (ly:get-context-mods properties))

;; produce a clickable message

;; Print a message with all properties to the console
(map (lambda (prop)
   (ly:message (format "~a: ~a" (car prop) (cdr prop
  props)
(ly:message "\n"))

Re: Unicode Font Issues

[Shane Brandes]

XFCE is also a useful desktop interface. Unity might be good for
tablet minded people but, at least, I found it to be highly disruptive
of making any sort of useful workflow. Whichever shell one chooses
Lilypond always performs excellently.

After a little more experimentation, it turns out it's the way the Dynamics 
context works.  I'm guessing from experimenting, rather than reading code, but 
it seems just the notes above and below all the dynamics in a system are 
selected and a line is centered between the lowest of the notes above a dynamic 
mark and the highest of the notes below a dynamic mark.  All the dynamics are 
then placed along this line and the distance between the staves is adjusted so 
there is (just) no overlap.  Notes without dynamics are permitted to 'poke 
through' the dynamics line.  This rather clumsy example illustrates it. 

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff { e' d, d e' e' d e' e' }
  \new Dynamics { s\f s s s\p s s\f s s }
  \new Staff { a'' a'' a'' e''' a a'' e''' a'' }
>>

So if a dynamics mark is moved far enough horizontally so 'its' notes are no 
longer considered we get the effect observed.

After all this I found issues 1127 and 3299!  Should have looked first.

With "traditional" do you mean Gnome 2.x or the new Gnome 3.x + 
Gnome-shell?


Just like Unity (which I have not tried yet) Gnome3/Gnome-shell can be 
quite a shock if you are looking for a "traditional" desktop. I am 
really happy with it now, but it did take some time to get used to.

good point. I guess there was a big leap from 2 to 3.  I am using 3.10.4 
currently.  The bigger differences though are internal, AFAICT; the 
exterior of 3 doesn't seem that much different from 2.0.  (And I did use 
the word "traditional" in quotes, originally ;-)

Now that I know it works on linux (thanks to Bric), I will try to get

Just my two cents about Linux and Ubuntu:  Installing Ubuntu has become 
a breeze.  Also, there are a plethora of cool utilities that make 
compiling easy, too (it's nice to be able to compile the latest lilypond 
and whatever, locally).  Well, you need to know some basic command-line 
stuff, I suppose.

And I also feel like the new newcomers who never get to experience Gnome

Well, the above is more like 25cents.  And I risk reactionary responses 
from Unity fans - but rational arguments are welcomed.


good luck with your installation and implementation.  Should be really easy.

I fear that 2.19.5 will fail on Windows as 2.18.2 does.

Re: Mark not visible at the beginning of a line

[Jacques Menu]

Hello Knute and Xavier,

Thanks a lot for your help, I would never had been able to devise an engraver…

The is the good tool for me. You can enrich the snippet with a tie over the 
double bar line, which I need actually, as in :

\relative c' {
c1 | c | c | c ~ \toCoda
\bar "||" \break
\mark \default
\time 2/2
c1 | c |
\mark \default
\markDown "23"
c | c
}

A nice day!

JM

Hi Jacques,

I use Neil's #multi-mark-engraver.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2011-08/msg00157.html
Very easy to use, and you can have different settings for simultaneaous
rehearsal marks.
