Re: Scores of Beauty

[Andrew Bernard]

I manage a lot of Wordpress sites. There are several current issues at
the moment. There is a vast amount of hacking going on (three of my
sites were destroyed last week), but also after the vry recent release
of WP 5.6, many plugins have updates which break the site. Since Urs
is no longer available, I am not sure if there are any plans to
continue maintaining that site.

Although I have taken over from Urs the responsibility for the
openLilyLib work, I am not sure I want to get involved with yet
another hack prone Wordpress site, which really requires expensive
security plugins to keep them safe now.

This problem won't correct itself (requires admin backed attention),
so it's hard to say what to do.

No, I was able to get Lilypond itself to get me the information I needed. 
That’s probably why I forgot about it: I didn’t end up using it.

I remember you tried it out in May in connection with identifying
included files, though I didn't follow the thread to see whether
you incorporated it into your final method.

I should probably smack my forehead over this.  I already had python-ly

Works like a charm for mass file linting.  Though I did have to set the 
indent-width variable to 4 in order to match my usual settings.

It's unlikely to affect you when processing LP source files,
but could bite you in the general case: find is intrinsically
recursive (curtailed by -maxdepth and -prune).

Writing ./* instead of . (or a directory name) has two effects:

- the top-level directories will be visited in order
  (depending on locale), rather than pseudo-randomly,

- top-level dotfiles and dot-directories won't be
  visited at all.

BTW I'm not sure what prompts with #> , but best not do this as root.

Cheers,

Re: Mass file linting

[Guy Stalnaker]

P.S. If you add "-D search" right after the find command, i.e., as the
first option specified, find will output the paths it finds as it goes
(otherwise, there is no visible output and one must wait until the command
terminates and the prompt returns).

Also, if you have openlilylib in the same folder structure, using find in
this way will cause the reformat option to run on all of them, including
all the openlilylib files. I know because I just did this on my own
composition collection.

If you are satisfied with the reformat operations you can use find again to
remove all of the .ly~ files by changing the name part to "-iname \*.ly~\*"
and exec'ing "rm":

find ./* -type f -iname \*.ly~\* -exec rm -rf {} \;

It is helpful BEFORE doing this to run the find command without the -exec
to confirm visually what files the rm -rf will remove :-)

Re: Mass file linting

[Guy Stalnaker]

You may know this, but on the chance you do not ...

Depending on your terminal shell (e.g. I use zsh), you can use the find
command and its -exec option to find all .ly files in a folder hierarchy
and run the command on them.

#> find ./* -type f -iname \*.ly\* -exec [python.ly command here] {} \;

./* causes folder recursion

-type f limits find to files

-iname ignores case

The {} substitutes for the file name.

\; terminates the command executed.

I've used this command syntax quite a bit. There are permutations for using
find that involve piping to xargs without invoking -exec and using -print0
which are sometimes necessary (Google helps here).

Cowell clusters

[Gilberto Agostinho]

Hi everyone,

I am notating a score which uses a lot of clustered chords, to be 
notated in the style of Henry Cowell. I found a post from 2008 from the 
Lilypond user list but the solution is very cumbersome, unfortunately. 
The code below is adapted from that post: ( 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00555.html )



\version "2.20.0"

qLinkCowell =
#(ly:make-stencil (list 'embedded-ps
"gsave

0.3 -0.51 lineto
closepath
fill
grestore")
  (cons 0 1.3125)
  (cons 0 0))

% Example 1
{
  \time 2/4
  \override NoteHead #'X-offset = #0
  \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(1 . 4.75)
  <
    f'

    e''

}

% Example 2
{

  \override NoteHead #'X-offset = #0
  \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(1 . 4.75)

    f'
    \tweak #'stencil \qLinkCowell g'

    \tweak #'stencil \qLinkCowell c''

    e''

Producing: https://i.postimg.cc/xdmMRpkh/clusters.png

As can be seen from the image above, the topmost example (which is the 
original one from that post) is notated perfectly fine, but this 
approach fails when using notes with white note heads (example 2). The 
stem-attachment value is also hard-coded, and needs to be tweaked 
manually for every single cluster (see example 3), which is an absolute 
pain.


Ideally, the best approach would be a function that would take a chord 
of two notes (i.e. the bottom and topmost notes of the cluster only), 
attach the stem to the correct notehead only (i.e. top notehead when 
stem up or bottom notehead when stem down) and find an elegant way of 
adding a vertical connector between the noteheads. So that usage would 
be something as simple as \cowellCluster 4 \cowellCluster 2


Unfortunately I am not very good at writing LilyPond functions myself, 
so I was wondering if anyone here could give me a hand with this one, or 
perhaps give me some advice on how to tackle this.


Many thanks!
Gilberto

Re: Mass file linting

[Knute Snortum]

This is a great utility!  I like the ability to export syntax
highlighting to HTML.

For changing a group of files, I would try:

ly --in-place reformat *.ly

This will modify the files in place and give you a backup of the file
with the filename suffixed with a "~".
