Re: Tie between words
Hi Valentin Thanks for your reply. I’ve tried the code you supplied, but unfortunately I keep getting the following error: "ly-syntax-constructors.scm:56:23: Wrong number of arguments to #" I get this trying to compile both with the code in my document and also trying to compile yours. One important thing I didn’t mention is I’m still using 2.18.2 - I’m not sure if the code is trying to reference things that are in later versions. (and yes, I know I should update but I have no experience in doing the whole building thing and not sure where to start, and which version I can go to (running MacOS 10.14.6)) Regards Adrian > On 17 Dec 2021, at 6:08 am, Valentin Petzel wrote: > > Hello Adrian, > > How about this? > > Cheers, > Valentin > > Am Donnerstag, 16.

Tie between words
Hi Can anyone point me in the right direction to solve this: I have the below, using a lyric tie, but what i really want is what looks like a tie between notes that goes fully between the ‘high’ and ‘in’, like I have drawn crudely below Thanks Adrian
Re: OT: Beauty of programming languages
45 years old Day job: Chemist (like Borodin!) Started with computers in the days of the VIC-20. Went through several BASIC interpreter computers. Work with both Windows (work) and Mac (home) now. Work use includes some programming in high level BASIC-like languages, and some rudimentary SQL, HTML. Vocalist (counter-tenor) in a church choir - have been singing since I was 7-ish… Know enough piano to tinkle and amuse myself. Started engraving music (pieces I’d written) in the late 80’s on the Mac Plus (9” screen and all!) with a program called “Music Publisher”. For its time, it wasn’t bad. Came with a separate keyboard so you typed the music in, notes appearing on the screen on the staves. Tried Finale…couldn’t work out how to use it…so I gave up. Bought a lesser version from the same stable (well it is now) called Print Music. I use that to tinker with pieces on screen then playback the audio. Came across LilyPond when I was looking to set a vocal piece I’d written that had chanted sections. I wanted stemless notes, and couldn’t do that in PM or Finale. Lily did the job, and well, and I’ve used it to set a range of vocal music since - my own and others works. While the interface can sometimes be a challenge, I steal from what I’ve done before and what’s in the manuals and usually get it to work. I’ve made my own templates which makes it easier for me. My code my not always be the prettiest, but, hey, it works! Always impressed by the look of the output, as are those for whom I’ve set music. I don’t mind the text input at all - I just use the basic editor that opens when you launch the application. One thing I do like about the text based input is that even if I lose Lilypond for some reason, all my work is there accessible in text files…not like the pieces I have in Music Publisher files…now long inaccesible! ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: System/System spacing
Hi all
Thanks for your replies - they all pointed me in the right direction.
After a nice hot shower I realised part of my issue was the setting of
ragged-bottom = ##t in the \paper block of the \book.
What I didn't realise then (but have worked out now :-) ) is that I can put a
\paper block into each \bookpart and then control the system-system spacing
basic-distance there... And it works.
Thanks again
Adrian

System/System spacing
Hi This is probably a dumb question, but can someone please tell me where to find info/examples on (or explain how to) increasing the system/system spacing. I have a piece with 3 systems which looks bunched on the page - I'd like to separate them a little more (the piece is part of a book, set in a bookpart). Any pointers would be great (I've been scrolling through the manuals all afternoon and can't seem to find something that works...)

Re: Message Window
Hi I'm running in the GUI, not in Terminal, so I guess I'll have to close/clear the window manually - and learn to make less mistakes! I have tried Frescobaldi, but I can't get it to run properly - I have issues with setting up the poppler stuff etc that I haven't been able to fix. So I'm waiting patiently for someone with more skills than I have (which is just enough to be dangerous!) to build a OSX installer. (if anyone has any tips, let me know!)

Message Window
Hi I was wondering if there was a way of setting the message window (the one that display compiling progress etc - sorry if I've not got the right name) to clear itself each time a file is typeset. Given my lack of proficiency, I tend to make lots or errors and so end up with a long list of errors etc when I compile - and if I do it a couple of times I can't find the start of the current message easily. I know I can close the window, but it'd be nice if there was a way of it happening automatically :-) I'm running 2.14 on Mac OS X 10.6.

Re: Tempo Marks
Hi Xavier
Thanks for that - it works fine. When I compiled it I got a message saying
something about not understanding the "Staff_collecting_engraver", so I left
that out, and it worked fine (when I cleaned up my score block...).
What I ended up with was
\new Staff = "SA" \with { \consists "Metronome_mark_engraver" } <<
\new Voice = "Sopranos" {
\voiceOne
<< \global \sopMusic >> }
\addlyrics { \words }
\override Score . LyricText #'font-size
= 1 % use #-1 for smaller
\new Voice = "Altos" {
\voiceTwo
<< \global \altoMusic >> }
>>
repeated the same way for the PianoStaff, and then the layout section remove
the metronome engraver from \Score.
Thanks again
Adrian

Tempo Marks
I'm sure I've read this in the manual somewhere, but cannot re-find it... I have a piece of music set for SATB with Organ accompaniment. What I would like is to have the tempo (metronome) marks printed above both the SATB line (currently set using ChoirStaff) and above the Organ line (set with PianoStaff, with an extra line for pedals). If I set \tempo 4 = 100 in the organ part, it appears above the SATB part. How do I get a tempo mark above both the SATB line (ChoirStaff) and the Organ line (PianoStaff)?
