Problem with partcombine and shape notes

[Bumby Hymnal]

I've run into a problem with using \partcombine while using \aikenHeads.  The
problem is that under certain circumstances the aiken shape note heads are
not used in the output of \partcombine.  The strange thing is that it
sometimes works.  The following snippet shows 4 different voices.  The
first voice is a basic scale.  The 2nd voice is exactly the same.  The
third voice is a third below the first voice, and the fourth voice
alternates between being unison and being a 3rd apart from the first voice.
Each voice is rendered independently and shows the shape notes properly.  Then
the first voice is combined with the 2nd (identical), then the 3rd (down a
3rd), and the 4th (alternating unison then a third).  The first two cases
render the shape notes properly.  The last case of with alternating unison
/ 3rds produces proper shape notes when unison, but normal (non shape)
notes when rendered as a chord.



SNIPPET:



\version "2.19.49"



firstVoice  = \relative c' { \aikenHeads c4 d e f g a b c }

sameVoice   = \relative c' { \aikenHeads c4 d e f g a b c }

thirdVoice  = \relative c' { \aikenHeads a4 b c d e f g a } fourthVoice =

Could you explain that a bit? I can't see why the OP would take note of
I like A but not B without any explanation of what you base you views on.

I don't understand. 36 hours ago you wrote "I've had a fair bit of
trouble with SuSE and lilypond" and "I could not get the then
latest lilypond to install on the then latest SuSE".
(Also I notice that another post here contained "OpenSuse Leap 42.1
[...] did have oddities in relation to lilypond.")

What are the advantages to LilyPond of rpm over deb,
for example? Or KDE on openSUSE as opposed to KDE on
a Debian-based distribution?

Yes. Fortunately the OP seems happy to "take the plunge", which is
encouraging. We haven't yet heard back on whether a DE is
essential or not.

I do wonder about some other posts in this thread that start
talking about LilyDev, checking out guile-v2-work, and compiling
LP. Perhaps the people writing such posts have had some off-list
communication from the OP.

OTOH I agree that the Arch wikis are excellent and clearly written;
very useful whatever distribution one runs.

Cheers,
David.

Re: French tablature?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

Many thanks!  I didn't know about RhythmicStaff.  Is this all 
possible in version 2.18.2 (which I'm using)?  Certainly when I 
copied and pasted your text into a file ("tabTest.ly"), Lilypond 
returned an error:


/home/Lilypond/tabTest.ly:5:4: error: syntax error, unexpected 
UNSIGNED
  
  4*3 8*2 4. 8*5 4*2 8*4 16*4 8. 16 8*2 4 2*2 1


Maybe version 2.18.2 requires a little extra tweaking.  Again, 
thank you very much.

LilyPond already supports this type of tablature: You have to 
set the

bass strings, and maybe change the default fret labels to not

building a custom context for Schenker urlinie figures

[Kieren MacMillan]

Hello all,

As we know, there are usually many ways of coaxing Lily to do what we want. I’m 
looking for some suggestions on the best approach in a particular case.

I’m trying to create a custom context (for my SchenkerLily framework) which 
consists primarily of moment-attached numbers (“urlinie” figures), with a few 
additional markup options/requirements. For myself, any of the methods I’ve 
brainstormed and/or built are fine — but for the framework, I want the input to 
be as elegant and newbie-proof as possible.

One [main] desirable output is a connected series of numbers (or, less often, 
arbitrary markups), each attached to a moment (or, put another way, each with a 
duration) — see the second example of the snippet included after this email. In 
this version/attempt, I’ve used a customized FiguredBass context; in other 
versions/attempts, I’ve used a from-scratch context (with the assistance code 
that Andrew B. graciously wrote for me).

The thing I like about the FiguredBass approach is that it suggests input like

\urlinie {
  \connectionOn <5>2 <4>4 <3>2 <2>8 <1>1
  \connectionOff <5>1 <4>2 <3>1
}

or even

\urlinie {
  <5>2 ~ <4>4 ~ <3>2 ~ <2>8 ~ <1>1
  <5>1 <4>2 <3>1
}
  
the latter being the most clear and newbie-proof version I can currently think 
of.

I would love to hear suggestions on how this approach might be improved 
(especially how I can get the BassFigureContinuation to automagically extend 
itself to the next figure without the hacks seen in the second score in the 
snippet), or what might be a superior approach.

Thanks,
Kieren.

One question, hopefully someone knows how to fix this. 

I really think the font of the macro editor window is too difficult to see
in its default font/size. Look at the attachment photo and you'll see what I
mean. It looks kind of deformed, squished, and generally difficult to see
unless you really stop and squint. Not sure why it looks so rough.

Anyone know how to change the font of the macro editor window /itself /in
OooLilyPond?

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

maybe it's a little late to warm up an old thread, but I had to 
struggle

with a similar problem:

Roman Stawski wrote

When I hit the lilypond button the console popped up as usual to run
Lilypond, finished correctly and disappeared. The OOoLP dialogue 
stayed

open. When I looked at the LP output, everything had compiled fine.
There were no errors.

Debugging the macro, I found in the OOoLilypond/Make routine that 
after
compilation it was looking for OOoLilyPond.eps in the temp directory. 
In
reality I had OOoLilyPond-1.eps, OOoLilyPond-2.eps and 
OOoLilyPond-3.eps
... but no OOoLilyPond.eps, so the routine just exited. I commented 
this

out since the only file I'm interested in is OOoLilyPond.png which was
there, and was included next. Debugging further kept throwing out 
errors

in LibreBasic ... so I gave up.

Current state is that its now inserting the image ... but holding the
image source open (even if I delete the image from the document). This
means that the next run of OOoLP fails because it can't delete the
source from the previous run.


I have OpenOffice 4.1.3 and OooLilyPond 0.4.0 running on Windows 7, and 
I

use them a lot.
Everything works fine as long as I use LilyPond 2.18.2, but I never got 
it

to work with any 2.19 version.

Apparently, LP 2.18 produces an EPS file and converts it into a PNG 
file.

Both files are kept.
With LP 2.19 (invoked by the same command) there is no EPS file with 
the

same file name.

Unfortunately, OooLilyPond always checks the presence of the EPS file 
(and
exits if there's none), no matter if it's told to use the PNG or the 
EPS

file.
The easiest way I found was to change the way LilyPond is called, in a 
way

that there really is an EPS file present.

In the OooLilyPond macros, there is a section "LilyPond" containing a
function named "CallLilyPond()".
For composing the Windows command, there is a line that reads:

--
sCommand = sCommand & " " & sBackendOpt & " -f png -dresolution=" &
iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1" (10)
--

This line should be replaced by:

--
sCommand = sCommand & " -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png " & 
sBackendOpt
& " -dresolution=" & iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 
2>&1"

(10)
--

I've tested that with LP 2.18.2, LP 2.19.37 and LP 2.19.51, and it 
worked

with all three versions.
By the way, I have no idea of how to use the command line parameters...
instead, I simply experimented with Frescobaldi and "stole" its output. 
 ;-)


I hope that this information is useful for some people. OooLilyPond is 
a

great tool and has literally saved my life so many times.

French tablature?

[Alasdair McAndrew]

The tablature examples given (section 2.4.1) show Italian lute 
tablature: frets given as numbers, and written on the line. 
However, French tablature uses letters between lines, as shown 
here:


http://sologuitarist.net/score/BachFugueFrenchTab.jpg

Note durations are given above the staff, with only changes given. 
A variation on this was for music for the bass viol in different 
tunings (called playing "lyra way"; sometimes the viol thus played 
was called a "lyra viol") has the notes given with heads, not 
stems alone:


http://atelierphilidor.com/contents/media/l_bi128%20page2_.png

Is it likely that Lilypond will provide such tablature at some 
stage?  Currently, if I want to typeset tablature, I need to use 
different software.

Start with something easy? Ubuntu or Kubuntu sounds a good choice BUT. I
just cannot get on with Debian-based distros or Gnome. So openSUSE is
also a good distro to try, seeing as it's rpm and KDE.

The difficulty, of course, is that telling a noob to try several distros
could be off-putting, even if it is good advice.

And tell them that when they know a bit more, set up a system with Slack
or gentoo or arch or somesuch. Even if they don't use it, the act of
getting it to work should teach them a lot.

Wol

Ah, I understand now. I edited the macro ITSELF, in LibreOffice 5 and
everything is working beautifully! I can confirm that the "variable" error
(BASIC) can be fixed by this method:

-
*In the OooLilyPond macros, there is a section "LilyPond" containing a
function named "CallLilyPond()".
For composing the Windows command, there is a line that reads:*

--
sCommand = sCommand & " " & sBackendOpt & " -f png -dresolution=" &
iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1" (10)
--

*This line should be replaced by:*

--
sCommand = sCommand & " -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png " & sBackendOpt
& " -dresolution=" & iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1"
(10)
-- 

Thank you so much for this fix!

Hello.

I mainly use Linux but recently I've tried to use OOoLilyPond with my
LibreOffice 5 on Windows 10, but it's failing. Windows 10 keeps crashing
LibreOffice whenever I try to convert the LP code into my document (as
normal).

I keep getting BASIC errors, like "BASIC runtime error. Variable not
defined".

How can I fix this on Windows, I don't understand the make and eps issues
mentioned in previous posts.

Thank you for helping!

Does

%

\defineBarLine "[" #'("" "[" "")
\defineBarLine "]" #'("]" "" "")

{
\override  Staff.BarLine.thick-thickness = 1
\override  Staff.BarLine.font-size = #-4
c' \bar "[" c' c' \bar "]" c'
}

%

help already?

Special bar lines

[Br. Samuel Springuel]

Right now I'm using some alternate bar lines to specially mark off 
specific passages in a piece like so:


%%
\version "2.19.53"

% extra bar lines (optional bars)
\defineBarLine "[" #'("" "[" "")
\defineBarLine "]" #'("]" "" "")

{ c' \bar "[" c' c' \bar "]" c' }
%%

However, I find these barlines are a bit heavy in certain circumstances, 
especially the vertical line portion.  I'd like to define a bar line 
which has a similar shape, but has a lighter feel (thinner lines).  How 
would I go about doing this?

Re: OOoLilyPond

maybe it's a little late to warm up an old thread, but I had to struggle

I have OpenOffice 4.1.3 and OooLilyPond 0.4.0 running on Windows 7, and I
use them a lot. 
Everything works fine as long as I use LilyPond 2.18.2, but I never got it
to work with any 2.19 version. 

Apparently, LP 2.18 produces an EPS file and converts it into a PNG file.
Both files are kept. 
With LP 2.19 (invoked by the same command) there is no EPS file with the
same file name. 

Unfortunately, OooLilyPond always checks the presence of the EPS file (and
exits if there's none), no matter if it's told to use the PNG or the EPS
file. 
The easiest way I found was to change the way LilyPond is called, in a way
that there really is an EPS file present. 

In the OooLilyPond macros, there is a section "LilyPond" containing a
function named "CallLilyPond()". 
For composing the Windows command, there is a line that reads: 

--
sCommand = sCommand & " " & sBackendOpt & " -f png -dresolution=" &
iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1" (10)
--

This line should be replaced by: 

--
sCommand = sCommand & " -dno-delete-intermediate-files --png " & sBackendOpt
& " -dresolution=" & iGraphicDPI & " OOoLilyPond.ly >OOoLilyPond.out 2>&1"
(10)
--

I've tested that with LP 2.18.2, LP 2.19.37 and LP 2.19.51, and it worked
with all three versions. 
By the way, I have no idea of how to use the command line parameters...
instead, I simply experimented with Frescobaldi and "stole" its output.  ;-)

I hope that this information is useful for some people. OooLilyPond is a
great tool and has literally saved my life so many times. 

Cheers, 
Klaus

P.S.: Interestingly enough, the error showed up as complaining about an
unknown variable named "CurserPosition", but that seems to be another
story...

Hi David,

many thanks for this patch! It does exactly what I need!

So now it could be uploaded to Rietvield - or do we need an issue number?

All the best

Re: Change the font size of lyric hyphens

[Bruce Pike]

Harm,
Thanks, that worked.

Also helped to add
  \override Lyrics.LyricHyphen.height = #1
to move the hyphens up to align horizontally with the larger text.

Change the font size of lyric hyphens

[Bruce Pike]

Is there a way to change the size of hyphens in lyric text?

Tried
  \override Lyrics.LyricHyphen.font-size = #6
  \override Lyrics.LyricText.font-size = #6
Changes the font size of the lyric text, but not the hyphens.
