I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about here and why you
would break out in an operating system tirade because I replied to
Joshua that his idea of our use of "stable" vs "unstable" versions is
correct and thus a stable version seems inherently sensible as default
in connection with his web-based LilyPond editor.

Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

2018-01-08 Thread Blöchl Bernhard 

I am completely confused.

Hackily did not impress me, but due to this "not Windows" discussion I 
opened

https://github.com/hacklily/hacklily
and read
"... It consists of a frontend Lilypond editor using monaco (the editor 
that powers vscode) and a backend Lilypond renderer. ..."
monaco is a visual script editor. Visual script is a Microsoft language 
and available for the Mac, there is a link 
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/setup/linux, never tried it.

monaco looks interesting, downloaded with
npm install monaco-editor@0.10.1
npm is the package manager for JavaScript and the world’s largest 
software registry. JavaScript is alanguage I am interested and ahe one 
preferece (beside some others).

If I find some time I may check the code for curiosity.

To say it diplomatically, I do not have any problem with "an OS that is 
not Windows" and do not say to appreciate this statement. But beside 
strong liking of other OS, is there a technical reason for this and 
which?

That simply means that the web site it will not run *as-is* on Windows. It
most certainly is possible to make it work, but since most non-corporate
web servers use Linux, it is most likely not a priority. The following text
that you conveniently omitted, "if you make it work, please contribute your

Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

2018-01-08 Thread Joshua Netterfield 

Hi all,

I'm sorry for alienating some of you with the Windows comment. The 
website itself, https://www.hacklily.org should work in many modern 
graphical web browsers, including ones on Windows. Currently, the main 
reason for running the server itself would be to contribute to Hacklily 
(please do contribute, if you are interested!). I don't have a grudge 
against Windows, and would love help from someone to help figure out how 
to enable development there. If you're interested, let me know here or 
in a GitHub issue (or even better yet, PR).


I've toned down some of the wording in the README and added a note that 
the build steps aren't needed if you just want to use Hacklily.


Best,
Joshua Netterfield

Re: Introducing Hacklily, another online LilyPond editor

2018-01-08 Thread Joshua Netterfield 

Hi,

I want to figure out why this isn't working for you. I sent you an email 
directly, which might have ended up in your spam list. To reduce noise 
here, it would be great if you could either reply to me directly or 
create a GitHub issue. (You can reply here if too if those options don't 
work.)


I see that you're using hacklily.org rather than your own copy? Is it 
possible that a connection to hacklily-render.nettek.ca is blocked? What 
addons/FF version do you have installed? If you open the dev tools 
(ctrl+shift+I), go to the network tab, refresh, and filter URLs for 
hacklily-render, what do you see?


I have a small correction to one of your posts — Hacklily uses 
TypeScript, not Visual Script or JavaScript. If you do want to try 
running it locally to contribute, try following the steps on the README. 
Although I've tested the development server on Ubuntu 17.10 a few weeks 
back, if you get stuck, /please/ create an issue/email me.


Best,
Joshua Netterfield

Hi Josh,

What is your end goal with this? School project? Composition tool?

I did something like this once a while back, though it was easier and 
faster for me at the time to just load up Reaper, use a plugin/script to 
generate the random note data, and just export out the notation to pdf 
or musicxml. Then it was all LilyPond after that for my project.


Does this have to be contained *fully* in LilyPond for your purposes?

Give us some more info please :)

Here is a worksheet I created with answers and different pitch content
every time you run it.  Perhaps you will find something useful in it.

(Note: if you're running a development version, you can cut out the
definition of the table command.  I included it so I could run
this--and many other "auto" worksheets--using lilybin.

Hope this helps,

BTW,

I turned on the accidentals b/c you asked about them.  The point of
the exercise is better served by using the line

test = \questions 30 #(list 0)

instead of the definition of test in the file

(i.e, just white notes)

That thing is... astonishing.

The places where David Nalesnik and Thomas Morley live are going to have 
acute shortages of parentheses any day now.

Re: Two conflicting text spanners

2018-01-08 Thread Neo Anderson 
Dear Kieren, 
I was afraid that without any instructions the code in that thread would fail, 
but to my surprise it worked beautifully! Thank you! 

I wonder why this isn't coded into LP itself or provided as a snippet 
with the software or in some repository (or am I mistaken?)

See the thread at

(And the situation may have been improved even further since then?)

Hope this helps,

There is a discussion of generating random notes in the comments of this
blog post:

http://lilypondblog.org/2014/03/music-functions-1-getting-to-grips-with-scheme-in-lilypond/

The example code is:

#(define myList
  (list
   #{ b2 #}
   #{ c'2 #}
   #{ d'2 #}
   #{ e'2 #}))
mySchemeFunction =#(define-music-function (parser location) ()
  (list-ref myList (random (length myList
mySetSeed = #(define-void-function (parser location) ()
 (let ((time (gettimeofday)))
   (set! *random-state*
 (seed->random-state (+ (car time)
(cdr time))

{
  \mySetSeed c'4 \mySchemeFunction c' \mySchemeFunction c'
\mySchemeFunction c' \mySchemeFunction c' \mySchemeFunction c'}
