Printing movement titles in page header
I'm trying to include the title of the current movement in the page header. This works if I use bookparts to seperate the movements, but not by setting header:piece in a score block. I don't want to use bookparts as I don't want pagebreaks between movements. Any ideas on how to achieve this? \version 2.19.22 \header { title = My Piece composer = Me tagline = ##f % piece only prints in header if set here or in bookpart header piece = Global Piece } \paper { oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \fromproperty #'header:piece \on-the-fly #not-part-first-page \fromproperty #'header:title \on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string } evenHeaderMarkup = \oddHeaderMarkup } \book { \bookpart { % piece only prints in header if set here or in top-level header \header { piece = Part 1 } \score { % setting piece here has no effect \header { piece = Movement 1 } \repeat unfold 400 c'1 } \score { % setting piece here has no effect \header { piece = Movement 2 } \repeat unfold 400 d'1 } } \bookpart { \score { % setting piece here has no effect, % even without a bookpart level header \header { piece = Movement 3 } \repeat unfold 400 e'1 } } } -- Mark Knoop ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Switching on/off instrument staff
Hi Chris, The tag method is a fantastic tool in many cases, so it's great to be aware of it. Just in this particular case it's maybe not the easiest way to go. Yeah, that's how I mostly use variables as well - placing just the music in variables and then, in the score block, build up a \new StaffGroup \new Staff \new Voice \someMusic \new Staff \new Voice { \voiceOne \moreMusic } \new Voice { \voiceTwo \yetMoreMusic } I find this a very clear structure ... and it allows me to have a complete template where you just comment out all \Staffs you don't need in a particular case.

Re: Forwarding LilyPond issue
Hi, Yes, as Martin said, it's fixed by installing this version of fontconfig on Fedora 22: fontconfig.x86_642.11.94-1.fc22 It's not a lilypond or Frescobaldi issue as such. Therefore, it ouht ot be taken of the Frescobaldi bug list.

Re: Switching on/off instrument staff
Wow, so many answers. I think Rob's solution will be the most close to what I need, however I fear Abraham already answered my question. I'll explain my problem further: I'm working in a three volume anthology for a singers school, each volume will come in two versions, one for the professor and the other for the student. The professor's version must have all voice piano parts, while the student's should only have the voice part. Now, because this is a very large project that includes gregorian scores, a lot of text and some didactics, I've decide to assemble the book in LuaLaTeX using lyluatex https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex package (a recent replacement for lilypond-book). So all lilypond files (about 80 right now, but they will be something like 200 in the end) are configured from a single style sheet named /formato.ly/, wich contains all snippets, formats, etc. So what I am looking for, is a snippet that can disable all piano parts across the project from a single line in such /formato.ly/. To replace the \score block in all of the files could be both painful and dangerous, but I prefer to do it right now than later, when there will be much more of them; and since all files are generated from a template, I can just replace it with any text editor. Anyway, if somebody has an idea of how to make this, I'll really apreciate. Thanks to all for your answers, best regards.

Re: Switching on/off instrument staff
Victor, You have gotten some great advice. Sorry they don't work for you. As I've been thinking about your dilemma I wondered if you could just do something like \layout { \context { \Score \denies PianoStaff } } on the top-level to remove the PianoStaff altogether (assuming this is how you built the piano part), but that doesn't do it either. This would be the kind of solution you would be looking for. Sorry it doesn't work like I postulated. I think I have a solution, but seeing a tiny example of a couple of files the exemplify your work-flow may help us out. Just put them in the body of an email like this: %%% file1.ly voicePart = { c1 } pianoRH = { c1 } pianoLH = { c1 } \include formato.ly %%% file2.ly voicePart = { b1 } pianoRH = { b1 } pianoLH = { b1 } \include formato.ly %%% formato.ly \paper { indent = 0 } \layout { \override SomeThing.property = 1.5 \override SomeThingElse.property = 0 } \score { \new Staff \voicePart \new PianoStaff \new Staff \pianoRH \new Staff \pianoLH \layout {} } %%% masterfile.ly \include file1.ly \include file2.ly %%% I just made that up, of course. Thank you in advance for clarifying things so that we may help you better. - Abraham On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Víctor [via Lilypond] ml-node+s1069038n178514...@n5.nabble.com wrote: Wow, so many answers.

I think I should probably look at refactoring my band template. I agree, my method is a bit complicated -- but it's bothering me a bit, because I think there was a reason I did it like this in the first place! Could well be an insufficient understanding at the time, of how variables work :-) I do already use variables as: violinMusic = { a b c d } violinVoice = \new Voice { % voice setup stuff % \violinMusic } Chris On 8 July 2015 at 09:58, Robert Schmaus [hidden email] http:///user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=178514i=1 wrote: In addition to the suggested way with tags (which surely works, but which I find overly complicated), a simpler way would be to simply place the Staffs in variables and comment out the ones you don't want to have in the next engraving. Like this: violinStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = Violin }{ \relative c'' { c4 d e f } } celloStaff = \new Staff \with { instrumentName = Cello }{ \relative c { c4 d e f } } \score{ \violinStaff \celloStaff } IMO there's no need for a complicated tag structure, just go for a simple approach. You will want to use a variable
Re: Switching on/off instrument staff
Abraham: You just gave me a wonderful solution, I'll explain myself: My current file layout is like this: *formato.ly* \version 2.19.15 \include snippets.ly% file with lots of snippets (really) \include tipografia.ly % typographies \layout { % some overrides here } % some format snippets here: formatoPerc = { \stemDown } *voice_with_piano_example.ly* \include formato.ly control { } % this normaly stays empty, but can be used to add code to the voice without polluting it voz = { a4 b c } verso = \lyricmode { la la la } pianoDer = { a4 b c } pianoIzq = {a4 b c } dinamicas = { s4\pp s4 s4\f } % some dynamics here \score { \new Staff \with { instrumentName = \vozSolo } % this variable is defined in /formato.ly/ \new Voice \voz \addlyrics \verso \new Voice \control \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = \pianoIns } \new Staff = MD \new Voice \pianoDer \new Dynamics \dinamicas \new Staff = MI { \clef bass \pianoIzq } } But now I've realized that \score should be declared in a separate file, something like*/voz_y_piano.ly/*, and there I can easely comment out the piano staff for all my files at once, avoiding both pain and human mistakes. Thanks again to all of you for your support. Best regards, Víctor. El 08/07/15 a las 11:33, tisimst escribió: Victor, You have gotten some great advice. Sorry they don't work for you. As I've been thinking about your dilemma I wondered if you could just do something like \layout { \context { \Score \denies PianoStaff } } on the top-level to remove the PianoStaff altogether (assuming this is how you built the piano part), but that doesn't do it either. This would be the kind of solution you would be looking for. Sorry it doesn't work like I postulated. I think I have a solution, but seeing a tiny example of a couple of files the exemplify your work-flow may help us out. Just put them in the body of an email like this: %%% file1.ly http://file1.ly voicePart = { c1 } pianoRH = { c1 } pianoLH = { c1 } \include formato.ly http://formato.ly %%% file2.ly http://file2.ly voicePart = { b1 } pianoRH = { b1 } pianoLH = { b1 } \include formato.ly http://formato.ly %%% formato.ly http://formato.ly \paper { indent = 0 } \layout { \override SomeThing.property = 1.5 \override SomeThingElse.property = 0 } \score { \new Staff \voicePart \new PianoStaff \new Staff \pianoRH \new Staff \pianoLH \layout {} } %%% masterfile.ly http://masterfile.ly \include file1.ly http://file1.ly \include file2.ly http://file2.ly %%% I just made that up, of course. Thank you in advance for clarifying things so that we may help you better. - Abraham On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Víctor [via Lilypond] [hidden email] /user/SendEmail.jtp?type=nodenode=178515i=0 wrote: Wow, so many answers. I think Rob's solution will be the most close to what I need, however I fear Abraham already answered my question. I'll explain my problem further: I'm working in a three volume anthology for a singers school, each volume will come in two versions, one for the professor and the other for the student. The professor's version must have all voice piano parts, while the student's should only have the voice part. Now, because this is a very large project that includes gregorian scores, a lot of text and some didactics, I've decide to assemble the book in LuaLaTeX using lyluatex https://github.com/jperon/lyluatex package (a recent replacement for lilypond-book). So all lilypond files (about 80 right now, but they will be something like 200 in the end) are configured from a single style sheet named /formato.ly http://formato.ly/, wich contains all snippets, formats, etc. So what I am looking for, is a snippet that can disable all piano parts across the project from a single line in such /formato.ly http://formato.ly/. To replace the \score block in all of the files could be both painful and dangerous, but I prefer to do it right now than later, when there will be much more of them; and since all files are generated from a template, I can just replace it with any text editor. Anyway, if somebody has an idea of how to make this, I'll really apreciate. Thanks to all for your answers, best regards.

Thanks again to all of you for your support. Best regards, Víctor. Glad I could offer some help! Yes, if the \score block is the same for each song, then putting it in its own file and \include-ing it after the variable definitions is a handy way to solve this problem, for reasons you've already discovered. Also, I don't know if it makes a difference to you (it appears the output doesn't change), but I'd move your Dynamic section more explicitly in-between the two piano staves. I think it just makes the code a little cleaner. Like this: \new PianoStaff \new Staff ... \new Dynamics ... \new Staff ... Oh, and you don't need to explicitly create a \new Voice anymore in the upper piano Staff if you do that. Just a small suggestion. - Abraham -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Switching-on-off-instrument-staff-tp178484p178517.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
