When you type the gs command at the commandline, you will get the
distribution's version of gs. It will run with a self-consistent set
of libraries and files, and should process your PS file into a PDF
file successfully.

When you run LP, it will ask gs to convert the file. However, which
version of gs runs, LP's or the system's? Will it be happy running
with LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/home1/myusername/lilypond/usr/lib"?

Do I know if LP's symlinks are set up correctly? Not really.

Do you yet know which distribution is running? What version of tar do
you have?

$ tar --version

The only difference I can see at present between the symlinks that
work (fonts) and those that don't (libs) is that the latter point to
files in the same directory. tar is/has been quite buggy in the area
of symlinks. In all cases, the symlinks precede the targets in your
tar archive. I can't help wondering what goes on between the usr/lib
directory, the symlink and the target file during the interval while
the directory is being populated.

Cheers,
David.

FWIW, I've used \repeatTie in situations like this as well:

\repeat volta 2 {
  c4 c4 (
}
\alternative {
  { c4 ) r }
  { c2 \repeatTie }
}

Naturally, you can adjust its shape with the \shape command if desired, but
this usually gives a pretty good starting shape.

HTH,
Abraham

The Notation Manual shows how to do this in 5.5.4 Modifying shapes
Modifying ties and slurs
where it comes right at the end, just before 5.5.5. It uses empty

Single slur with two endings (well, kind of) for repeats

2016-06-08 Thread Alberto Simões

Hi

Suppose something like

\repeat volta 2 {
   c4 c4(
}
\alternative {
  {c4) r}
  {c2) }   %%% this
}

the second end slur is not typeset.
is there any elegant way to draw it, or i should try to make an 
invisible note somewhere?


Thanks
Alberto

How about:

\override StaffGroup.SystemStartSquare.collapse-height = #5

HTH,
Abraham

P.S.

Devs,

Both SystemStartBrace and SystemStartBracket have this property set by
default, but SystemStartSquare does not. Is this intended?

Hide SystemStartSquare if Staff is removed?

2016-06-08 Thread Kyle
I'm working on an orchestral score wherein the string parts 
play some extended passages divisi, and it makes sense to 
divide the staves during those passages. 
When they are playing in unison, I'd like to hide the second staff.
However, when the second staff is hidden, 
the SystemStartSquare is still visible. 
Simply adding 
\override StaffGroup.SystemStartSquare.transparent
to the relevant systems does not work.
It seems as though once transparency is set to ##t, it won't switch back later.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Ties across different voices?

I've run into the need to do this, and I can't quite figure out how to
make it happen. Please see the attached image.

Basically, for those who can't load it, I want to create a tie from a
"chord" into a "new voice." It's fairly common in classical literature,
but I am wondering if this is possible even, or yet.


Ties into chords from chords/notes that only share part of the chord 
notes already do exactly what you appear to need. No trickery (hidden 
notes to cross voices etc) is necessary here:


\new Staff <<
{
d''1~ |
d''1~ |
2  |
} \\ {
d'1~ |
d'1~ |
d'1 |
}
>>

If you prefer, you can avoid the '\\' syntax by using
<<
   {
   \voiceOne
   % notes for upper voice
   }
   \new Voice {
   \voiceTwo
   % notes for lower voice
   }
>>
