Re: functions with multiple arguments

[Tom Sgouros]

Aha!

Thank you, I could have looked at that for a week without realizing it's
supposed to be a list of functions not a list of function calls.

Re: functions with multiple arguments

[Knute Snortum]

I think this is the correct syntax:

rpt =
#(define-music-function
 (parser location note1 note2)
 (ly:pitch? ly:pitch?)
   #{
 $note1 1 $note2 1
   #})
\rpt a bes

functions with multiple arguments

[Tom Sgouros]

Hello all:

This works:

rpt =
#(define-music-function
 (parser location note1)
 (ly:pitch?)
   #{
 $note1 1
   #})
\rpt a

Why doesn't this? ("Wrong number of arguments to #") What am I missing?

rpt =
#(define-music-function
 (parser location note1 note2)
 (ly:pitch?) (ly:pitch?)
   #{
 $note1 1 note2 1
   #})
\rpt a bes

I was imagining I could use a function like this to generate groups of
sextets efficiently, with four notes input to make the groups of six and
making the arpeggio automatically. Perhaps barking up the wrong tree?

Thank you,

 -Tom

But you did not pass \beamExceptions a bar beamed as you would wish.
You passed it a bar with beaming depending on a combination of automatic
beaming and beaming exceptions.

That doesn't work since at the current point of time, beaming exceptions
_only_ affect beam ends.

Beaming for 1/16 notes ends here after c''16] and nowhere else.  Beaming
for 32nd notes ends after g'32]) and a'32]) and nowhere else.  Those are
the beaming exceptions being generated by

\beamExceptions \barOne

as you can verify with

\void \displayScheme \beamExceptions \barOne

Re: Text beside staff

[Knute Snortum]

I think the best way to do this is to use the instrument name:

\score {
  \new PianoStaff \with { instrumentName = \markup \huge "No. 4" }
  <<
  ...
  >>
}

Text beside staff

[Ahanu Banerjee]

Hi,

I'm typesetting a book of études. I am currently putting the number of the
etude (1-2 digits) in the header as a title, but I would like to put it to
the left of the first staff, in the indented white space. It should be
center-aligned between the left margin and the first staff, and vertically
centered about the staff.

Can someone provide a tidy way to do this?

Thank you!!

\version "2.20.0"
\header {
  title = "1"
  subtitle = "A female deer"
}

{\repeat unfold 16 c' \break
\repeat unfold 20 c'}

Hello Richard,

I learned this \beamExceptions function thanks to you, thank you.
If you replace  \beamExceptions \barOne by
\beamExceptions { 16[ 16] 16[ 32 32] 16[ 16] 16[ 32 32] }
you get the desired output.

Not sure what's going on, but when putting only rhythm in the pattern (like
the example in the documentation) it seems to work.

Xavier

Re: Lyrics for ossia staff

[JxStarks]

Remy,

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have the same problem with this that I
have with the Documentation: it works fine as a snippet, but when I put it
in the entire piece, the ossia staff is below the bass staff, and the ossia
lyrics are beneath the soprano lyrics under the top staff. I need to have
the "ossia" staff above the top (soprano) staff, and the ossia lyrics
associated with the ossia staff.

Re: Lyrics for ossia staff

[Guy Stalnaker]

Here is another way (especially if one uses Frescobaldi and its Score
Wizard to create the score structure:

%% CODE %%

\version "2.19"
\language "english"
soprano = {
  a'2.
  <<
{
  f'4( ~ |
  f'4. g'8 a'4 f' ~ |
}
\new Staff = "Solo" \with { alignAboveContext = #"sopranos" }
{
  \partial 4 \key f \major a'4^"Solo" \bar "||"
  a'4. bf'8 c''4 a' |
}
\addlyrics \with { alignBelowContext = #"Solo" } {
  Yet what I can I give Him,
  Give my heart.
}
  >>
  \bar "|."
 }
verseSopranoVoice = \lyricmode {
  % Lyrics follow here.
 heart. Ooh __
}
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff = "sopranos" \with {
} { \soprano }
\addlyrics { \verseSopranoVoice }
\score {
  \new ChoirStaff <<
\sopranoVoicePart
  >>
  \layout { }
}

%%CODE%%

The source file is available from the fourth link next to the score on
CPDL. It *has* a version number, and convert-ly will convert the file
to a more current version. I've just converted and compiled it for
2.21.80 successfully.

I expect this has been solved somewhere, but I can't find it. The documentation

Thanks for pointing that out. It worked perfectly. Here's what I finally
had:

  \score {
\new Staff { c''2 r }
\layout {
  ragged-right = ##t
  indent = 0\cm
  line-width = 1.5\cm
  \context {
\Staff
\omit TimeSignature
\override Clef.space-alist.first-note = #'(minimum-fixed-space
. 3.0)

No, this is doesn't help.

Lyrics for ossia staff

[JxStarks]

Hi all,

I expect this has been solved somewhere, but I can't find it. The
documentation is good at explaining how to do something in isolation, but
not so good at explaining how to do something in the middle of a different
structure, such as a choir staff.

Anyway, I have a choir staff to which I want to add an extra staff for the
Soprano I voices. I want the staff to appear at measure 27 and continue
until measure 41 and then stop. I want the extra staff to contain both
music and lyrics.

I was able to get the staff and music to work fairly well using a structure
suggested in a previous discussion on ossia staves. How can I get lyrics to
go with it? The structure follows. Sorry it's so long: I'm not sure where
all the commands need to be placed. If there's a more elegant solution, I'm
all in favor of it, even if it means restructuring the whole piece:

\beamExeceptions problem

[Richard Shann]

My understanding of the \beamExceptions function in 2.20 was that you
should be able to pass it a complete bar beamed as you would wish and
expect other bars with the same beat structure to be beamed to match.
In this example barOne and barTwo have the same rhythm but only barOne
is beamed as desired.
What have I got wrong?

Placement of tuplet brackets

[Farhad Arbab]

I am trying to build a package for Persian percussion (for tombak and 
daf instruments) while learning Lilypond.  My  basic layout uses single 
staff drum mode, note stems up.  Traditionally, virtually every note is 
adorned with special symbols and finger numbers written above note stems.


I now have a set of music-functions that use \markup commands to place 
these symbols over the bd notes  in drummode of Lilypond. So, for notes 
commonly referred to as tom, bak, ka, tomka, baka, snap2 snap3, etc., I 
now enter "\drummode { \tom bd4 \bak bd8 \ka bd8 \tomka bd4 \baka bd4 
\snap2 bd16 \snap3 bd }", etc.


As an aside, I do not like my current set up and would like to have 
custom-made modes tombakmode and dafmode where I can simply enter 
"\tombakmode { tom4, bak8, ka8, tomka4, baka4, snap2 16 snap3 }", etc.  
As a novice, I do not know how I can define my own mode, so I leave this 
as a future project for now.  Nevertheless, I appreciate any help, 
comments, pointer on this future project of mine.


Back to my current struggle with tuplets: I cannot find a way to tweak 
Lilypond through its tuplet-bracket interface (or any other) to place 
tuplet brackets where I want them.


Where Lilypond places tuplet brackets now is above note stems, below all 
special symbols that I add to the notes (with markup). The problem with 
this is that those special symbols are really an integral part of each 
note and must not be separated from the note stems by tuplet brackets or 
anything else.  I can think of two alternatives for placement of tuplet 
brackets, but I am unable to tweak Lilypond to do either one.


The first (less desirable) alternative is to get Lilypond place tuplet 
brackets above all special markup on top of note stems. Even if I can do 
this, it is not ideal, because with so many symbols stacked on top of 
one another over note stems, it gets too crowded up there.


The second alternative is to get Lilypond to place tuplet brackets below 
the note heads (i.e., between the note heads and ties or hairpins).  
This area is far less crowded (sometimes we get hairpins or ties there, 
but not often). Not surprisingly, this is where traditionally people 
write tuplet brackets for such scores, anyway.


Cheers,

Farhad

Repeats with bar-engraver removed

[J Stasko]

I need to be able to engrave repeats, but I fear that the bar-engraver,
which I turned off for chant music, is responsible for engraving the
repeats: when I turn it back on, then the repeats appear, but since the
music is chant, it runs off the page.

How to do this?

The work is attached.

Thank you.

I don't have a  "spontinivenv" directory inside lib/python.  I'll open
