Default stylesheets for alternative fonts

[Urs Liska]

Hi all,

I would like to provide default stylesheets for the alternative fonts that are 
available by now. 

If anybody has got familiar with one or more fonts and has already found common 
tweaks that are appropriate for them I'd like to get them as starting points. 
Of course these stylesheets are intended to be developed publicly.

We can also have different stylesheets for different purposes.

Time signature style with note in the denominator

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hello LilyPonders,

Could someone please give me a hand? I want to use the following snippet
(from: http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=642), but I'd like that the notes
in the denominator to use the straight-modern-flag similarly to the notes of
the score:

\version "2.19.15"

#(define-public (format-time-sig-note grob)
   (let* ((frac (ly:grob-property grob 'fraction))
  (num (if (pair? frac) (car frac) 4))
  (den (if (pair? frac) (cdr frac) 4))
  (m (markup #:override '(baseline-skip . 0.5)
 #:center-column (#:number (number->string num)
   #:override '(style . default)
   #:note (number->string den)
DOWN
 (grob-interpret-markup grob m)))

%%%

\relative c' {
  \override Staff.Flag.stencil = #modern-straight-flag
  \override Staff.TimeSignature.stencil = #format-time-sig-note
  \time 3/8  
  \autoBeamOff
  c8 c8 c8
}

This code above produces: 
 

Any help is very much appreciated.

Best,
Gilberto

Re: Spacing Cheat Sheet

[Kaj]

Hi Joram,
Time has gone since you helped me to understand the vertical spacing 
mystery in LilyPond. Well I am not ready yet for the big battle, but a 
lot has been clear since. And a lot of thanks for your very valuable 
sheet compiling the different items. But not always I have got things 
work the way I wished, and more than once I have been ready to give up 
the LilyPond project. Today I found something in your sheet loosening a 
lot of knots. I think a small mistake has slipped into it. The left 
column, lower part, says "\override 
StaffGroup.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = #2". At first this 
sounds reasonable, but I think that StaffGroup should be substituted 
with Score. Reading the Internals Reference confirms that the context 
StaffGroup does not create the grob StaffGrouper and also that 
StaffGrouper is not created by any engraver. Well, I am not the person 
to account for all this, but after reading the Notation Reference 
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#spacing-of-grouped-staves) 
and the example there, I feel encouraged to announce my experience. My 
case worked with context Score but not with StaffGroup.


The next line however: "\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup etc" is 
perfectly correct as VerticalAxisGroup is created by Axis_Group_Engraver 
which belongs to the context Staff. Possibly the context Staff could 
also be use in the previous case, but I have not tested this.


Best regards
Kaj

Den 2015-02-21 14:04, skrev Noeck:

Hi Kaj, hi Lilypond users,

I also would like to say that again that spacing is a bit daunting. But I hope
with the help you got here, it is possible to adjust the spacing you need. The
deeper understanding will come with time and it is difficult if one wants to
understand everything at once.

To make the use of spacing settings easier, I put the most relevant settings on
this page:
http://joramberger.de/files/LilypondSpacing.pdf

The aim of this is not to explain everything – that is better done in the docs –
but to give a visual summary of the spacing settings and an example (on the
left) how to change them. If you know that there are different settings in the
paper and in the layout block and that there are fixed distances (in mm, cm, in)
and flexible spacings (minimum-distance, basic-distance, padding,
strechability), then this cheat sheet should make it easier to adjust all these
to your liking.

Cheers,
Joram

PS: Lyrics and other nonstaff spacings are to be done.

You can get the same effect by adding
\set subdivideBeams = ##t
to your code, and then it will group the beams like that always.

One other thing I didn't notice before is that the flat accidental for A
flat is printed twice (because of the hidden voices) so it needs to be
hidden with a tweak (since it is part of a chord). I've attached my
modifications to this message.

Otherwise it looks good to me :)

No, there's no need for a special context object,
two Dynamic contexts will do.  The key things to
remember are that the flexible spacing variables
act on the space between the context in which they
are applied and the one below, and that Dynamic
contexts are of 'non-staff' type.  So you need to 
change the nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing variables of
the uppermost Dynamic context.  Setting basic-distance
is probably sufficient:

\version "2.19.16"

\score {
  <<
\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff { a' a' a' a' }
  \new Staff { \clef bass a a a a }
>>
\new Dynamics
\with { 
  \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing.basic-distance = #4
}
{ s\p s s\f s }
\new Dynamics
{ s\sustainOn s s s\sustainOff }
  >>
}

If you want to understand this further, the section
to read is

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems

and the subsection

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/flexible-vertical-spacing-within-systems#spacing-of-non_002dstaff-lines

Copying metronome marks to multiple \StaffGroup's

[H. S. Teoh]

Hi,

Apologies if this is already answered somewhere, 'cos I couldn't find it
in the docs or on google, but I'm working on an orchestral score and
would like for each \tempo marking to appear above each orchestral choir
(winds, brass, strings). E.g., I'd like to just write \tempo 4 = 120
once, and it should print the bpm indication above each \StaffGroup
corresponding with the sections in the orchestra.

I tried playing around with adding/removing "Metronome_mark_engraver"'s
both in the score's \layout block and in each \StaffGroup, but I can't
seem to get it to work. What's the right way to do this?  Thanks!!

It’s mostly done, at least for all the chords I use regularly.  There is a 
deviation in that I have not put the extensions/tensions as superscripts to the 
chord because I find that harder to read on the fly.  But I like these 
conventions because no one ever asks me what they mean.  I’d be happy to send

A change to the name was first suggested in 2013, see 
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3482
so I suggest you add your support to that issue.

On balance I agree a change of name would be an improvement.

Well, the point is that I don't want to have to type tempo markings
multiple times, much less to manually re-typeset each \tempo marking. I
was hoping that since lilypond knows how to collect \tempo markings from
individual staves and combine them to the global Score context, it
should be capable, in theory, of redistributing this information back
down to the StaffGroup level.

Hi Pierre,

This seems to work for the first page, but (1) it requires duplicating
\tempo markings on every stave, and (2) the Metronome_mark_engraver is
attached at the Staff level, rather than the StaffGroup level.

(1) is not a big deal; I can just define a variable for holding all
tempo changes and merge them into each staff using <<...>>, and it
should work.

For (2), however, I'm using "frenched" layout, i.e., omitting empty
staves on subsequent pages, so if the staff bearing the
Metronome_mark_engraver is elided, then wouldn't the tempo marking for
that StaffGroup disappear?

I did try to apply your suggestion to \StaffGroup instead of \Staff, but
the tempo markings failed to show up. I'm not sure I understand why.
Does the engraver only work at the Staff or Score contexts, but not
elsewhere?

Hi Kieran,

I browsed through several google search results for those keywords, but
all I found were questions related to spacing and custom marks contexts,
but I still can't figure out what I need to do to get the metronome
marks to appear above each StaffGroup. Do you have a short sample that I
can peruse for reference? Sorry if this is really n00b-ish... I'm
relatively new to lilypond and I'm still trying to wrap my head around
exactly how engravers, contexts, and layout blocks are supposed to work
together. I did find one or two versions of a ScoreMarks or MarkLine
context, but can't figure out what's the correct way to use them.

convert-ly adding linefeeds / carriage return

[stephan.patter...@videotron.ca]

Good evening,

I have just upgraded to the latest Lilypond, version 2.19.16. I'm using 
Frescobaldi 2.18 on Windows 8.1.


Running convert-ly on any of my Lilypond scores, I find that carriage returns 
and/or linefeeds get added to each line.


This:


\version "2.18.2"


\include "_paper_setup.ily"
\include "_slash_notation.ily"


% Define header and footer
\header {
 title = \markup \bold \larger "My Song"
 composer = \markup \large "Music by John Doe"
 poet = \markup \large "Lyrics by Jane Done"
 }
}



Becomes this:


\version "2.19.16"




\include "_paper_setup.ily"


\include "_slash_notation.ily"




% Define header and footer


\header {


 title = \markup \bold \larger "My Song"


 composer = \markup \large "Music by John Doe"


 poet = \markup \large "Lyrics by Jane Done"


 }


}



I have never run into this problem before and couldn't find anything similar 
searching the list. Any ideas?

Re: Spacing Cheat Sheet

[Noeck]

Dear Kaj,

you are brave to really dig through all this! That's a good thing. I
think I can help you here, too:

It is correct (and it works like expected) if you do
\override StaffGroup.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 30
like I wrote. But only (!) if your grouping context is a StaffGroup. In
case you have a PianoStaff or a ChoirStaff or anything else, you need to
override the property of that context. I.e.
\override PianoStaff.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 30
and the like.
There is a context hierarchy in LilyPond: A lower level context (e.g.
Voice) can be inside a staff, which can be inside a staff group, which
can be inside a score. Of course more complex nesting is possible.
The important thing for you is: The inner contexts inherit (take the
overrides) from the outer contexts. In your case, if you override the
StaffGrouper of the Score, that overrides the spacing for any
StaffGrouper in the Score. If you override the spacing for the
StaffGroup (and similar), only this kind of group is affected and if you
do so in the \with statement, only this particular context is affected.

Here is an example showing some possible overrides:

\version "2.18.2"

\layout {
  % no effect because there is no StaffGroup
  % only PianoStaff and ChoirStaff
  \override StaffGroup.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 60
  % this works for the piano staff (upper group)
  \override PianoStaff.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 15
  % this works for all groups but the PianoStaff has more specific
  % settings which are used instead
  \override Score.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = -2
  \override Score.StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = 0
}

 <<
  \new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff { a }
\new Staff { b }
  >>
  \new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff { c }
\new Staff { d }
  >>
  \new PianoStaff \with {
% this override only affects this second piano staff
% overriding the Score and PianoStaff overrides from
% the layout block above
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.padding = 4
  } <<
\new Staff { e }
\new Staff { f }
  >>
 >>

Don't hesitate to ask again if things are still unclear.

Cheers,
Joram

Likewise updated yesterday and received 2.17.2.

Also, for the developers, it appears that the pre-build .dmg version of
Frescobaldi opens correctly with the full set of windows, but the version
built from MacPorts will launch and show the splash, but one has to click
the dock icon again to get the full window set.

Thanks so much!!!

I finally figured out the problem with my score: I had inadvertently put
\numericTimeSignature inside a staff instead of a \layout block, and
somehow that caused strange empty staffs to pop up in the output or
tempo marks to go missing whenever I try to do anything with ScoreMarks.
I'm not sure why it didn't cause problems when I'm not using ScoreMarks,
but I'm thinking it was probably only coincidentally working (or merely
showing no visual signs of the problem) before.

After finally identifying the wrong input and moving it to the proper
place, everything works now. I don't know if I would ever have found it
if you hadn't provided a working example, so thanks again!

A minor issue remains: how do I adjust the vertical distance of the
tempo marks from the staff immediately below it? It seems uncomfortably
close in one case where the staff also has a "Solo" marking above it,
right underneath the tempo indication.

I ran into this just yesterday.

  \once \override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #2
  \tempo 2 = 60 % bpm

Although, if you've moved the MetronomeMark engraver into a
different context (other than the default 'Score' context), then
you'll have to change the '\override Score...' to match the
context you used.

Also, two staff spaces (#2) may not be the value you want --
adjust to taste.

Permit me to suggest that you lower your standards.

The practical reality is that, even in a human performance, a passage
marked "rubato" will actually take a specific, measurable amount of time.

If one's purpose is to render MIDI that approximates such a performance,
you can choose, as an editor/interpreter, to instruct the MIDI output to
consume that amount of time.  I agree that adding randomness into this
definition probably does not achieve much.

But it is absolutely useful to tweak MIDI output.  There is a great deal of
useful difference between some control and none, even if the results are
far from passing a Turing test.

Well, in the 21st century, computers have pretty much become instruments in
their own right.

Which is to say, lilypond can be a way to control such an instrument.

It is probably the case the vast majority of the music people hear in film
& tv scores with orchestral instruments is "played" on virtual
instruments.  Composers end up actually writing more for those instruments
(playing to their strengths, avoiding their weaknesses) than with actual
acoustic instruments and performers in mind.

So, I think that lilypond being able to control virtual instruments is a
pretty practical goal.
