I was thinking of exploring the possibility of LaTex Lilypond.
Has anybody out there done this kind of combo?
My entire Master's thesis was a combination of LaTeX and Lilypond---both
musical examples and the inclusion of an entire modern edition and
apparatus. The musical examples were embedded in the LaTeX source and the
individual pieces of the edition were contained in separate files. This
would give you arbitrary control over the styling of each piece. My
workflow:
- Run lilypond-book on the LaTeX file that contained the edition.
- Run lilypond-book on the two chapters that had examples.
- pdflatex
- bibtex
- pdflatex
- pdflatex
The LaTeX file that contained the edition was a string of:
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{29. Et son del mio languir cos\`i contento

\label{madrigal29}
\lilypondfile{01-3-29.ly}
It was really quite straightforward. The thesis can be viewed at:

I hope this helps.
Aaron
P.S. I did not make a bigger deal on the list of the release of my thesis
because I was ashamed. Due to a stupid, stupid oversight, the Typeset by
lilypond tagline was omitted from the music of the edition. It was a
perfect opportunity to give back to the Lilypond community, and I miffed
it. I am deeply sorry. For what it's worth, Lilypond was an invaluable
part of my entire educational workflow, and essential to the thesis
itself. My adviser was really unsure whether Lilypond would produce the
desired output, but he was thrilled with the results. I evangelized to
every person that would listen in the department. I also used Lilypond to
typeset examples for a professor's book I was editing. He plans on
including a mention of Lilypond in the text. If that comes to fruition,
I'll let the list know.

Re: Book with LilyPond, community of professionals
My master's thesis is a modern edition of a book of 16th-century
madrigals. It is comprised of two parts: the first is all the discursive
stuff, and then the second is the text, scores, and apparatus. I simply
have a single .lytex file with entries like the following for each
madrigal:
\clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{subsection}{1. Amor, che sol dei cor leggiadri ha cura}
\label{madrigal01}
\lilypondfile{/home/aaron/svn/scores/out/01-3-01.ly}
In my case all the scores are in one place, so I simply \input this file
wherever I wish it to appear in the larger document. As you can see, you
can quite simply put a few madrigals in, then add some text, then do some
more scores, and back again. This is producing excellent results for me.

Scheme question regarding hiding accidentals
I'm typesetting a book of Italian madrigals and have used the accidental-style 'forget' for the project as it deals correctly with 99% of my accidentals. The issue is when I have a chromatically inflected note repeated. It quite naturally wants to reprint the accidental for each note. For this case only, I want to be able to hide the accidental. Ideally I would just attach a character to my note entry (like bes! and bes?, only [perhaps] bes-). I don't know much Scheme, but I am willing to learn. Can somebody point me to documentation on how to interface with the Lilypond code, and perhaps what function(s) I should be looking at to emulate behaviour like bes! and bes?. If there exists a quick and dirty hack to suppress the accidental (the mailing list archives suggest there is not), then I would like that too, so I can at least move forward with this part of my project.

\key f \major
\time 3/4
r2
{
\once \override NoteColumn #'force-hshift = #15

{
\times 8/9 {d,32( e f) g a b cis d e}

The nice thing about the old ly files is that the syntax is usually similar enough that if convert-ly doesn't work, most of the note-entry should be straightforward to reuse, leaving organization and tweaking to be done (for me, that usually takes about half of the time of preparing a score, so that's not so bad). Don't the new distributions *include* all the dependencies? The FreeBSD and Windows packages seem to. I don't have an extra box to experiment with though. In any case, I agree that the note entry syntax doesn't change and that represents (for me anyway) 90% of the work. I will still rely on Lilypond for archival scores.

Re: producing archival scores
Jason Merrill wrote: Thanks for the interesting comments so far. I want to refocus the discussion slightly. I didn't mean to get into a discussion about the relative merits of lilypond as an entry tool, exactly, so take as a temporary supposition that I want to enter music in lilypond right now, but that at some future time, someone else wants to modify that music in a program other than lilypond. How can I do something now to make that easiest? There is not now, nor ever will be, some universal music language. MusicXML is an option, but not one everybody will choose. One could ask the exact same question by replacing 'lilypond' with 'MusicXML'. The issue with archival (it seems to me) is a format whose source will always be readable and whose output will always be viewable. Seems to me Lilypond and MusicXML are the only ones that provide both of these. They also seem to me to be the only two options that are non-proprietary so others will not have purchase anything to access your work. Whether you prefer MusicXML or Lilypond is a matter of taste, methinks. Obviously the people on this list are going to have a marked bias towards Lilypond, but that is indeed another question. Josiah makes the point that MusicXML is too verbose. I agree; however, it succeeds at it's stated goal of being a music interchange format in that it is widely supported. Is there another, better music interchange format either available or in development? I could argue that Finale is also a music interchange format that is widely supported. MusicXML is just one more way of encoding music. Any format that uses plain text as source and a non-proprietary compiler I think is a perfectly decent archival option. So far, the best option was suggested by Tom: a tool called PDFtoMusic Pro that converts PDF scores into MusicXML. The pros are that it is available right now, and that it presumably works. Downsides are that it is proprietary and not free, and takes what seems to me a rather indirect route towards solving my particular problem. 1) I have strong reservations about the claims made by this product. I would be very interested in hearing what people's results have been. I cannot imagine that they can do what they say with the accuracy they imply. 2) The fact that it's proprietary to me is more than a downside, but actually kills the option as one for long-term archival. I guess it depends on your goals. It sounds like you're more interested in exchange rather than archival. Any other suggestions? Any comments on the likelihood of being able to compile lilypond into a music interchange format at some point in the future? I see no reason why a ly2musicxml utility could not be done, but I don't know enough about the guts of Lilypond personally.

2) Open the file LILYPONDBASE/usr/etc/fonts/local.conf and add the
following line just after the 'fontconfig' line. (Adjust as necessary
for your hierarchy.)
dir/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/dir
All your system fonts should now be accessible! Do a 'lilypond
-dshow-available-fonts any' to be sure. Below is the updated snippet
that now displays the lyric tie as it should:
\version 2.10.0
\paper {
#(set-default-paper-size letter)
#(define fonts (make-pango-font-tree DejaVu Serif
DejaVu Sans
DejaVu Sans Mono

}
\relative c'{ \time 4/4 r4 f4 e d | c2 c | }
\addlyrics

Problems with Lilypond-book, accidentals, and time signatures
I am trying to incorporate some musical fragments into a brief paper I'm
writing. Here is the snippet:
\begin[fragment,staffsize=15]{lilypond}
\relative c {
\key c \major
\clef bass
\time 4/4
r8 e e e e e e e e e e e e e fis fis
}
\end{lilypond}
Here's the script that compiles it:
#!/bin/sh
rm -rf lilyscratch
lilypond-book --psfonts $1.tex --output lilyscratch
cd lilyscratch
latex $1
latex $1
dvips -h $1.psfonts -o -Ppdf $1.dvi
ps2pdf $1.ps
cp $1.pdf somewhere
cd ..
Problem 1) I don't get a time signature (C, in this case) unless I do:
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'style = #'()
which gives me 4/4.
Problem 2) Note the initial 8th note rest is not rendered.
Problem 3) Note the # sign is not printed for the F sharps.
I'm running under FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE. I am using the following versions:
- Lilypond 2.10.13 (the FreeBSD package)
- pdfeTeX (latex) 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) kpathsea version 3.5.4
- dvips(k) 5.95a
- ps2pdf, version unknown
- ghostscript-gnu v2.07-15 (for the latex system, not lilypond)
I would really appreciate any advice you could give me. I'm not sure
where to start.

As a follow-up, it appears natural signs render fine, but not sharps.
As a further follow-up, flats also render fine. The problem seems to be

correct the problem.

Re: Version of lilypond for FreeBSD
What is happening is your daughter's computer is a newer version of FreeBSD and apparently it will not compile on 5.2 systems. You can try to force the issue by editing the file /usr/ports/print/lilypond/Makefile and removing the 3-line section that says BROKEN= Will not compile. and then reinstall the port. I know that I have got lilypond working on my FreeBSD system, but it took alot of manual tweaking. Unfortunately, it appears that the FreeBSD port maintainer that originally imported v2.2.2 has abandoned the port (cannot be contacted) and I simply don't have the expertise necessary to take over. Until somebody does, you won't see v2.5 in the ports tree anytime soon =( I run Windows on another machine and have found the Cygwin process to be easy and painless. You may wish to consider migrating since it seems you don't have time to fiddle. My very recent run-in with convert-ly to transform *my* 2.2.2 documents to 2.5 was very good and you shouldn't have any problems I hope. Best of luck to you, and congratulations on your ordination.

This results in the following error:

As Erik has already pointed out, no metronome markings at all are

Importing titles via lilypond-book
I'm just Mr. 20-Questions today =) I am writing a paper using LaTeX and
am inserting \begin/end{lilypond} blocks for my musical examples.
Because LaTeX figures cannot span multiple pages, I need to manually
caption these excerpts. I would like to do this via:
\header { piece = caption }
in each block. According to the documentation section 6.2 all I have to
do is include :
\input titledefs.tex
\def\preLilyPondExample{\def\mustmakelilypondtitle{}}
in the preamble of my LaTeX (.lytex) document. However, when I compile
the document, no titles appear. Here is the process I use:
$ lilypond-book --output=out myfile.lytex
$ cd out
$ latex myfile.tex
$ dvips -Ppdf -u +lilypond.map myfile.dvi
$ ps2pdf myfile.ps
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Aaron,
In the user manual is a section on orchestral scores.
Using that I made the following example. Can this be of any help to you?
Ruud
Thank you very much, Ruud! That cleared up a few misunderstandings I
was having about syntax.
On that subject, I have never used Scheme in my life. Is the Lilypond
syntax closely tied to Scheme syntax? Would I understand better how to
write Lilypond scores if I knew Scheme? I'm just finding it difficult
to know where to put for example as opposed to { } and other
piddly things like that. Is there a section of documentation somewhere
that goes over the intimate details of Lilypond syntax?
Thanks again for your time and assistance.
Cheers!

Nested StaffGroups
I am running Lilypond 2.2.5 via cygwin on an XP box. I have access to
2.2.3 on my FreeBSD box but I get the same results.
I am trying to duplicate a section of a Baroque opera score. I is a
single system with 5 staves. The top 3 are Violin1, Violin2, and Viola.
This is followed by a staff for the voice and a staff for the
continuo. All 5 staves should be connected at the beginning with a
single line. The top three staves should be braced, and the the top *2*
staves should be further grouped with a bracket. I have included my
current .ly file for examination. I believe I have correctly followed
the example in section 3.3.8 of the documentation. When I compile this
document, I get all 5 staves grouped together with a single brace and
all the barlines shared.
On a side note, I am very new to Lilypond syntax in general. There
*has* to be a way to declare time and key signature for all staves in
one place. If I put it after the \score delcaration I get a syntax
error and if I put it after the \notes declaration it only affects the
first staff.
I *greatly* appreciate any help you can offer.
Cheers!
Aaron

Re: Lyric Entry
On September 13, 2004 11:12 am, Mats Bengtsson wrote:
In most scores, such a melisma (that you sing one syllable to several
notes) is typeset with a slur or possibly a beam over the corresponding
notes. LilyPond knows about these conventions, but if you want a
melisma without a corresponding slur or beam, you can use the \melisma
command, described at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/The-Lyrics
-context.html
All contexts are typeset vertically in the order they first
appear in the score{...}. So, if you want the lyrics below the
corresponding stave, just move the \context Lyrics = superius { s1 }
below the \context Staff = superius ..., for example.
(Then you actually don't even need the dummy
\context Lyrics = superius { s1 }, see the mailing list archive
for a better explanation).

Lyric Entry
I am brand new to Lilypond and am having a heck of a time getting lyrics to
render properly. I have 2 questions:
1) I want to line up the words Agnus Dei under a certain set of notes. So
far the only way I have been able to properly align the syllables De-i is
using 3 dashes (see source below) but I only want it to display *one* dash in
the center of the melisma. If I enter De -- i or even De -- -- -- i it
ignores the melisma. Is there a way to make this only display one dash
between De and i?
supMusic = \notes \relative f' { f2. c4 f8 g a2 g4 a2 r4 }
supWords = \lyrics { A -- gnus De - - - i, }
2) Second question is with position of the lyrics. I have tried really hard
to read the documentation and mailling list archives but have been unable to
find my answer. I copied and modified the satb.ly template to give myself 3
staves. The problem is, all my lyrics are printing above the staff and I
want them below. How do I do this? Below is my actual source code.
Thank you so much for your time and patience!
\header {
title = Mass for Three Voices
composer = William Byrd
}
supMusic = \notes \relative f' { f2. c4 f8 g a2 g4 a2 r4 }
supWords = \lyrics { A -- gnus De - - - i, }
altusMusic = \notes \relative c' { }
altusWords =\lyrics { }
bassMusic = \notes \relative c { }
bassWords = \lyrics { }
\score {
\notes
\context Lyrics = superius { s1 }
\context Staff = superius
\set Staff.instrument = Superius
\set Staff.instr = Sup

Custom Noteheads
I've done a little searching in the archives but I can't seem to find any specific information. I am wanting to use Lilypond in a research project I'm doing. I am doing a timepoint analysis of some pieces and the developer of said system uses a series of custom noteheads. I cannot seem to find any place that goes into the specifics of creating one's own notehead engraver and how to integrate it into a working Lilypond installation. Has anybody out there done this sort of thing? Would you be willing to share some wisdom on how it is done? Thank you so much for your time. -- Aaron Dalton http://aaron.daltons.ca ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Schenker Graphs
I am learning Lilypond to create Schenker Graphs for a major project I am currently working on for my University. After reading the documentation, I'm confident that I can accomplish most of what I need using Lilypond. I was wondering if anybody out there has already created such graphs and if they would be willing to share with me some source file examples. If nobody has already created some sort of howto, methinks I shall when I'm all done with this.
