Markup expects the scheme-representation of arguments, i.e. prepend
the variable with #
A single static variable shouldn't be enclosed into ()
Otherwise the first element would be seen as the operator doing
something with the other elements.

raiseDistance = #1.3
\markup \raise #raiseDistance { \italic "sotto voce" }

\markup \raise 1.3 { \italic "sotto voce" }
doesn't work either.

I don't know if it is the easier way, but I'd do:

#(define-markup-command (raiseDistance layout props text)
  (markup?)
(interpret-markup layout props
  #{
 \markup {
   \raise #1.3 #text

  #}))

sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raiseDistance { \italic "sotto voce" }

Re: shaped notes

[David Olson]

Dear Mr. Eberly and others, 

The Shenandoah Harmony was entirely set in Lilypond. 

 

Robert Stoddard, Peter Golden, Adrian Mariano, and I [Rachel Hall] typeset the 
music in Lilypond 2.14, with some modifications: we made the shapes bigger and 
the staff lines thinner, to reflect the fact that most singers look at the 
shape of the notes more than their placement on the staff. I used LaTeX, a 
scientific typesetting program, to compile and design the entire book with 
input from the committee. We used fonts inspired by early twentieth century 
typefaces. 


= 

The Shenandoah Harmony is being used more and more around the world. 

Here in Los Angeles, we sing from it every other Thursday and on Fifth Sundays. 

VERY LEGIBLE (better than The Sacred Harp). 

To quibble, Rachel Hall says " typeset the music" but of course Lilypond is 
about engraving, not typesetting. 

And that's why it's so beautiful. 

Come sing with us if you're ever in Los Angeles, 

David Olson

I was interested in a music writing program that uses Lilypond as a ‘base’. I

Thank you so much for your time!

I'm having difficulty understanding how to use a variable that stores a
number, for use with a \raise command.


I have numerous markup definitions similar to this one:

sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raise #1.3 { \italic "sotto voce" }
mezzoVoce = <>^\markup \raise #1.3 { \italic "mezzo voce" }
{ \sottoVoce a'1 \mezzoVoce c''1 }

And I'd like to use a variable for the raise value, instead of repeating
#1.3 for each definnition.



Here are three MWE's of failed approaches.

%  The common sense approach
raiseDistance = #1.3
sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raise \raiseDistance { \italic "sotto voce" }
{ \sottoVoce a'1 }


%  Based on the line-width example on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/learning/organizing-pieces-with-variables
%{
myWidth = 60  % a number to pass to a \paper variable (the unit is
millimeter)
Depending on its contents, the variable can be used in different places.
The following example \paper {
   line-width = \myWidth
}
{
c1
}
%}
raiseDistance = 1.3
sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raise \raiseDistance { \italic "sotto voce" }
{ \sottoVoce a'1 }



% Based on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/extending/lilypond-variables
%{
twelve = 12
twentyFour = #(* 2 twelve)
%}
raiseDistance = 1.3
sottoVoce = <>^\markup \raise #(raiseDistance) { \italic "sotto voce" }
{ \sottoVoce a'1 }



Does anyone have either a suggestion for how to do this, or the appropriate
place to RTFM?

The examples on
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/substitution-function-examples
all are of functions that consume a value.  There are no examples of using
a variable that is a number.

So I guess it is related to this SFNT table that I can achieve to put in the

All of those errors are harmless and can be ignored.  However, I

This is expected.  The three tables are specific to lilypond; they are
simple text files put into SFNT tables – if you add or modify fonts
you probably have to update this information also in case you are
directly editing the fonts with FontForge instead of using lilypond's
pipeline to create them (from METAFONT source code).  Have a look at
`scripts/build/gen-emmentaler-scripts.py' (which generates the
`emmentaler-*.genpe' scripts); there you can see how to add the three
tables using a FontForge script.

If you're talking about the Sacred Harp style four-shape system or

Hi Brad (or is it Marshall?)

Lilypond is enormously customisable with techniques that vary from simple
to advanced Scheme programming. You can make noteheads whatever shape you
desire.

Send an image of what you want to the list and people may be able to help
you. The current request is vague.

As to using lilypond as a 'base', it would be good if you explain that
also, then again help can be offered. What sort of music do you want to
engrave?

I would have loved to add such a feature, but I didn't see a way to achieve it. 
But maybe you just gave me an idea.

The problem is that within a cropped image we have no clue as to where the 
staff symbol is placed vertically.

What we could try is write a Scheme function that determines the highest and 
lowest points within a system (we expect inline examples to have one system 
only). This function could then write this information to an auxiliary file, 
and from there we could determine the center of the staff relative to the image 
file.

If you could investigate the functionality mentioned above we could proceed 
from there. It would be great to have the possibility to include snippets at a 
consistent vertical position.

Obviously I must have missed something in FontForge to get it worked but I
cannot find any informations on this. Could someone please explain me how to
set FontForge in order to export a correct OTF compatible in LP?




Hello,

I am not seeing those errors when I try to generate a new OTF font from 
Emmentaler within FontForge - maybe it's specific to the changes you're 
making?

Can you share your methods and maybe we can reproduce?

If you are running 64-bit Windows 10, remember that the Windows 
Subsystem for Linux exists:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux

This seems like the easiest option to be able to run 64-bit build 
LilyPond on Windows, until such time as mingw-w64 can be utilized by 
LilyPond/GUB.


Obviously, one can run a full VM, but WSL is a much lighter-weight 
option with fairly good support for command-line tools.  I am in the 
process of getting this set up myself for some work on other projects, 
and I will report back my results.

Yes I did! It is absolutely great work. But sometimes I feel like I'd prefer
make my "own" mix between all the fonts available. For instance, I prefer
noteheads in one font, trill line in another etc.I know I can override the
font.name for those different glyphs, but still I'd kinda prefer have my own
personalized font which could evolved in the future and will be automaticaly
updated in all my previous works!

Hello foxfanfare,

Have you looked at Abraham Lee's superb lilypond fonts?

https://www.musictypefoundry.com/

I realise that this does not answer your question, but perhaps you may find
the hard work already done. What are you attempting to produce?

Andrew

Understanding ScriptRow

[Thomas Morley]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do:
(a) create a new grob
(b) add this grob to the 'scripts of ScriptRow
(c) let ScriptRow do the positioning according to the provided
script-priority and finger/stringNumber/strokeFingerOrientations, etc

(a) and (b) are done.
But currently I'm stuck with (c)

So I went some steps back and tried to understand how ScriptRow
actually does the positioning.
According to IR, 'before-line-breaking is set to
ly:script-column::row-before-line-breaking.
But I can't find where it is defined and thus I'm at a loss what it
does and how.
All I can say is unsetting 'before-line-breaking leads to clashing
scripts (only AccidentalPlacement is still ok). This makes me think
ly:script-column::row-before-line-breaking is indeed responsible for
the positioning.

So the questions are
Where is ly:script-column::row-before-line-breaking defined?
What does it do and how?
Is my current naiv understanding of it correct at all?
Is (c) doable at all?

Here some example code:

tst =
  \override Staff.ScriptRow.before-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
   (format #t "\nscripts in ~a:\n~y"
   grob
   (ly:grob-array->list (ly:grob-object grob 'scripts)))
   (ly:script-column::row-before-line-breaking grob)
)

\transpose c cis
{
  \tst
  \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
  \set stringNumberOrientations = #'(left)
  \set strokeFingerOrientations = #'(left)

  4.\arpeggio
}

Cheers,
  Harm

  Being a layman, most of this is all going over my head. But I gather that 
compiling this particular project will not be possible for the time being on my 
current machine, so I’ll either try to get my decrepit laptop up and running, 
or ask a friend to help out :-)

  Thanks for the replies,

  Brent.

Last time I looked (about 1.5 years ago) the problem was a missing
mingw-w64 package that exists for mingw (the 32bit version) for which I
think it is not actually required for the lilypond build, only for GUB
in general.

I'm not very knowledgeable w/r to GUB. So here is a question for those
with better knowledge:
Is it possible to reduce the required packages for GUB for particular
software (as in lilypond)?

If that's the case I'd expect it to be fairly straight forward to
replace the mingw stuff by mingw-w64 since the later is (or was)
supposed to be a dropin replacement for the former.

Kind regards,
Michael
