Re: crescendo and decrescendo within slurs

[Valentin Petzel]

Hi,

you could set the outside-staff-priority of the Slur:

\version "2.24.1"

top = { \change Staff = "upper" \voiceTwo }
bottom = { \change Staff = "lower" \voiceOne }

upper = \relative c' {
  \key g \minor
  \voiceOne
d'4.^\markup {\italic "espressivo"}^"a tempo"\p^- c8\tweak outside-staff-
priority #500 ( d^\< f\! g^\> c,\!) |
}

lower = \relative c' {
  \clef bass
  \key g \minor
  f,16 bes \top d f 
  \bottom bes, d \top f bes 
  \bottom bes, d \top g bes
  \bottom a, c \top g' a |
}

\layout {
  \context {
\PianoStaff
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #12
  }
}
\score {
  \new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
  }
}

Cheers,
Valentin

crescendo and decrescendo within slurs

[Jin Choi]

I see that it’s possible to place textual marks inside of slurs: 
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.25/Documentation/snippets/expressive-marks_003a-positioning-text-markups-inside-slurs
Is it possible to get crescendo and decrescendo marks within slurs as well?

\version "2.24.1"

top = { \change Staff = "upper" \voiceTwo }
bottom = { \change Staff = "lower" \voiceOne }

upper = \relative c' {
  \key g \minor
  \voiceOne
d'4.^\markup {\italic "espressivo"}^"a tempo"\p^- c8( d^\< f\! g^\> c,\!) |
}

lower = \relative c' {
  \clef bass
  \key g \minor
  f,16 bes \top d f 
  \bottom bes, d \top f bes 
  \bottom bes, d \top g bes
  \bottom a, c \top g' a |
}

\layout {
  \context {
\PianoStaff
\override StaffGrouper.staff-staff-spacing.basic-distance = #12
  }
}
\score {
  \new PianoStaff {
<<
\new Staff = "upper" \upper
\new Staff = "lower" \lower
>>
  }
}

Try

multitranspose =
#(define-music-function (seq motiv) (ly:music? ly:music?)
  (music-clone seq 'elements
   (map (lambda (p) #{ \transpose c #(ly:music-property p 'pitch ) $motiv #})
(ly:music-property seq 'elements


motiv = { c'4 d' e' c' }



\multitranspose { d e fis gis } \motiv

multiple transpositions

[Stefan Thomas]

Dear community,
is it possible to transpose a sequence of notes with only one motif several
times at once?
I'have in mind something like this:
motiv = { c'4 d' e' c' }
\multitranspose d e fis gis \motiv
% result:  d'4 e' fis' d'   e' fis' gis' e'e' fis' gis' e' gis'
ais' bis' gis'
Or maybee something like recursive transposition could be done?
For example, as in the snippet above, a motif is to be transposed several
times by a certain interval.
Thanks for Your help
Stefan

LilyPond 2.24.2 released!

[Jonas Hahnfeld via LilyPond user discussion]

We are proud to announce the release of GNU LilyPond 2.24.2. LilyPond
is a music engraving program devoted to producing the highest-quality
sheet music possible. It brings the aesthetics of traditionally
engraved music to computer printouts.

This version contains a number of fixes since the release of the
previous stable version in February 2023. This includes an update of
the library for garbage collection, addressing crashes when compiling
very large scores (several hundreds of pages) on Windows. We recommend
all users to update. Scores converted to or written for 2.24.0 will
continue to work with this release.
A list of added features and other user-visible changes for 2.24 can be
found at https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/changes/. Among
others, version 2.24.0 switched to Guile 2.2 and features a completely
rewritten infrastructure for creating the official packages, finally
allowing us to offer 64-bit binaries for macOS and Windows. These pre-
built binaries are linked from https://lilypond.org/download.html and
available from GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.24.2

Re: Increasing default piano staff spacing

[Jin Choi]

Thank you. I read that page multiple times and couldn’t figure out the proper 
context to put it in. That works great.
