Please give complete examples – I can't reproduce the issue (with
current git). I've tried
```
\book {
\bookOutputName "Comin-Home-Baby_Tenor-1"
{ c'4 }
}
```
and
```
\book {
\paper {
output-filename = "Comin-Home-Baby_Tenor-1"
}
{ c'4 }
}
```
Both snippets produce file `Comin-Home-Baby_Tenor-1.pdf`, as expected.

Re: Lilypond and digital readers
Thanks, Laurie. I never thought of having an adapted PDF for my reader (a
remarkable), but based on your example, here it is what I’m doing right now.
This is a different approach because I want to have also a normal PDF for
printing, I have two book entries on my lilypond file, something like this:
%
%% REMARKABLE %%%
%
\book {
\bookOutputSuffix "remarkable"
\header {
% titles
}
\score {
% music score
\layout {
% layout settings
}
}
\paper {
#(set-paper-size '(cons (* 155 mm) (* 210 mm)))
indent = 0\mm
top-margin = #10
bottom-margin = #0
left-margin = #0
right-margin = #0
% other size settings
}
}
%%%
% PDF %%%
%%%
\book {
\header {
% titles
}
\score {
% music
\layout {
% layout settings
}
}
\paper {
set-paper-size = "a4"
top-margin = 10
left-margin = 15
indent = 10
% other size settings
}
}
Of course, I use variables to add the music to the \score scope, so I don’t
have to make changes in both books.
Hope I might help someone.

Hello, I am installing Lilypond 2.24. It has been unzipped to my folder under \users. Frescobaldi 3.30 has been installed and opened to connect to Lilypond. Going to preferences this appears: This is not what is shown on the installation page https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/graphical-setup-under- windows How should I proceed? Thank you for your kind attention. Mark
Re: Lilypond and digital readers
This is similar to something I learned to do from this list. Thank you,
list wizards.
I generate scores for both printing (paginated PDFs) and displaying on a
website generated by the Sphinx documentation system (unpaginated SVGs).
Sometimes, I want to regenerate ALL the scores. So I have a Bash script to
do the work and a command-line argument that determines which type (PDF or
SVG) will be generated. I have two include scripts: svg.ily and pdf.ily
(which I keep in ~/.local/lib/lilypond/). In all of my Frescobaldi
templates, I have the lines:
% Use environment variable to decide if discrete pagination (PDF) or
% continuous pagination (SVG). Default to SVG if not defined.
%
pageBreaking = #(string-append (getenv "HOME") "/.local/lib/lilypond/" (if
(getenv "PAGE_BREAKING") (getenv "PAGE_BREAKING") "svg") ".ily")
\include \pageBreaking
Then, in my Bash scripts, I can have code like:
###
for source in $(find . -name "*.ly")
do
PAGE_BREAKING=svg lilypond --svg $source
# ... generate MP3 from MIDI, reduce SVG size, etc.
done
###
The two include files:
pdf.ily:
%
% PDF
% 8.5" x 11" (Letter) page size
%
\paper {
#(include-special-characters)
#(set-paper-size "letter")
print-page-number = ##f
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
}
%
svg.ily:
%%%
% Web SVG (Sphinx Cloud theme):
% One long continuous page
%
#(ly:set-option 'backend 'cairo)
\paper {
#(include-special-characters)
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \null
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \null
page-breaking = #ly:one-page-breaking
#(define fonts
(set-global-fonts
#:roman "Open Sans"
#:sans "Open Sans"
#:typewriter "DejaVu Sans Mono"
; unnecessary if the staff size is default
#:factor (/ staff-height pt 20)
))
}

Re: extracting a single “vocal line” (including lyrics) from multiple variables
Hi Kieren,
huge respect for the kind of projects you are doing :)
Answering these questions is difficult because they can depend a lot on
the specifics of the music and any solution can become cumbersome
because of only a little instance that doesn’t fit the schematic. A few
thoughts:
On 27.02.24 15:05, Kieren MacMillan wrote:
In terms of efficiency (e.g., compilation time) and complexity (q.v., code
maintenance) would it be better to:
1. \tag the various sections in question and then try to combine them (using
\partcombine?) into a single vocal line; or
This could be preferable if you can delineate the sections well. Trying
out \partcombine quickly made me avoid it until absolutely necessary,
but maybe it becomes manageable with clever and experienced use of
\partCombineApart and friends. In choral pieces, I often use a single
variable that contains all the lyrics, tagged depending on who does and
doesn’t use which part and then filtered in the score setup. I believe
that it makes a key difference to use both \keepWithTag _and_
\removeWithTag like this:
text = \lyricmode {
\tag A { on -- ly al -- to }
\tag nA { ev’ -- ry -- one ex -- cept al -- to }
}
\score {
<<
%{ simultaneous music expression with everything for soprano part %}
\keepWithTag A \removeWithTag nA <<
\variableThatContainsAltoNotes
\addlyrics \text
>>
%{ likewise for other parts %}
>>
}
%%
(addlyrics only for brevity of the example)
2. \addQuote everything and then \quoteDuring the appropriate sections? n.b. I
believe lyrics aren’t quoteable (right?)…
I haven’t tried quoting lyrics, but I’ve often used a hybrid approach:
quotes in the music, lyrics managed with tags.
HTH, yours
Simon

Of course.

Why didn’t I think of using set theory?!
THANK YOU! That hint alone makes your response gold.

Right.
I didn’t see an issue/request for quoting lyrics, so I added one
(https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/6700) and we’ll see how the
discussion goes. :)
Thanks!
Kieren.

I'd rather use
\tagGroup alto,non-alto
\lyricmode {
\tag alto { on -- ly al -- to }
\tag non-alto { ev’ -- ry -- one ex -- cept al -- to }
}
\keepWithTag alto ...
\keepWithTag non-alto ...
But one would need to look at the rest to see whether this kind of tag
group would end up problematic.

Make D.S. and Coda objects RED
Hello, A friend did an arrangement in MuseScore in which he made the D.S. symbols red, which I think is a great idea for our band. I found how to color certain objects, such as with: \override Staff.TimeSignature.color = #(rgb-color 1 0 0) but I have yet to find the names of the objects I'm hoping to change. Does anyone have an idea? Thank you

Re: Make D.S. and Coda objects RED
\mark \markup { \with-color #red "Whatever" }
This is what I've been using for a few months now...works great.
Basically, use the with-color modifier in whatever markup expression you
have.
