Music publishing houses accepting Lilypond files?
As the title implies: I've just converted a score from Finale, after the composer had given up trying to get a readable layout. He's delighted with the result, and seems interested in exploring LP. As he is also considering publishing his piece, my question to the community is: which publishers will accept submission in Lilypond format (or perhaps as .PDF or .SVG) and do you have any recommendations or experiences? Cheers, Colin
Re: Music publishing houses accepting Lilypond files?
My only experience has been with AR Editions, and they wanted MusicXML or Finale/Sibelius format. They use Finale there. I think probably the only way to use Lilypond would be to self-publish. The lack of MusicXML export in Lilypond is leading me to use MuseScore for more projects.

Re: Stem.note-collision-threshold
Hi Robert, Le 11/03/2022 à 18:05, Robert Mengual a écrit : Hello everyone, I am developing a custom music notation in which distance between notes is different from the standard one. Instead of the tipical distance from C to D of 1, in mine for example this distance is 2/3. This of course causes notes in the same chord that are 1 tone away to overlap. I wanted to fix this by overriding Stem.note-collision-threshold to 1.5 (which would solve it). However, it won't allow to pass float numbers. My question is, shouldn't it allow them? Why not? Comparing floats is hazardous due to decimal precision issues. On the other hand, it might be possible to make it accept rational numbers like #3/2. In any case, does anyone know how might I approach this challenge in a different way? I tried setting a different StaffSpacing but I was unsuccessful as well. Could you give a code example? It's not clear to me what different coordinate systems are being used. Thanks, Jean
Cannot eliminate layout block in score block?
Hello Lilypond friends,
I am working on a polyphone piece of music which employs a ChoirStaff, and
proceeded to make a local layout block in the score a global one.
The include to make a *global* layout block works just fine, but if I
eliminate the layout block in the score block itself, the music no longer
compiles. Please see the comment starting with % [Help].
Any ideas why this might be? Other pieces where I have only a single voice,
I rely only upon the global block from an include, and compules fine
without a layout block in the score block.
Files are attached.
\score {
\midi {
\tempo 4 = 130
}
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = "CantusPrimus" \with {
instrumentName = \markup { \bold "Cantus I" }
shortInstrumentName = "C.I"
}
<<
\new Voice = "CantusPrimus" <<
\globalVoice
\CantusPrimusNotes
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "CantusPrimus" { \CantusPrimusText }
>>
.
.
.
*% [Help] Cannot eliminate this layout block (!)*
* \layout {*
* } % end layout*
} % end Score
Many thanks,
mattfong

A \score on its own will produce a PDF. Such a \score, with a \midi added, will produce just a MIDI. A \score with both \midi and \layout will produce a PDF and a MIDI. Your score has a \midi and so, without a \layout, no PDF would be produced. Cheers, David.
repeat volta in MensuralVoice
Hello Lilypond users, I am using MensuralVoice to copy some Renaissance music, but it has a repeat inside, and it just isn't shown. what is the quickest way to add just a repeat sign in the end in this case? Thanks Reuben
