Starting Piano music with acciaccatura on upper voice

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

I am starting a piano music this way:

upper = \relative c'' {
  \clef treble
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4

  \acciaccatura ais8 b8. 
}

and the lower voice as

lower = \relative c {
  \clef bass
  \key g \major
  \time 4/4
  fis8
}

but the lower staff starts with a treble clef followed by the bass clef
with the key signature.
This is quite weird

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

While I can do that manually (just a couple of cases) it would be nice to

Would it be possible?

music function playing well with context

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I am transcribing a piece that has a lot of tuplets:

   \tuplet 3/2 { a4 b8 }

The duration of the notes is always this, just the pitch changes.
I tried to create a music function with this code

myT = #(define-music-function (pa pb) (ly:pitch? ly:pitch?)
#{
\tuplet 3/2 { $pa 4 $pb 8 }
#})

it works well, but I can't combine it with the context, for instance,
adding slurs:

  \myT c( gis  a4_.)

also, I will need to attach other stuff to the notes:

  \myT c_. d^^ e4

I understand that having a ly:pitch argument, I can only use... pitch
But changing it to ly:music?, I am not being able to control the notes
duration.

This is my first function, so sorry if this is too basic :-)
Kindest regards
Alberto

Hello

Is there a way to specify exactly the first note pitch for the second voice?

CrossStaff and Dynamics

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I am using CrossStaff and everything worked fine.
But after following a snippet that suggest adding the dynamics as an
independent voice of spaces:

\score {
  \new PianoStaff = "PianoStaff_pf" <<
\new Staff = "upper" << \upper >>
\new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics
\new Staff = "lower" <<  \lower >>
  >>
}

the beams are no longer connected.
Is there any way to overcome this problem?

The idea of using a dynamic "voice" was to get all dynamics middle-aligned
between them...

Thank you for any hint,
Alberto

Re: Adding space between staves and Dynamics

[Alberto Simões]

Hi, Simon

It helped a lot. I confess that page is very difficult to understand. At
least for me :-)
Your suggestion worked great, but now I have almost no space between
different line scores (getting the upper voice upper lyrics glues to the
lower voice lower lyrics).

I tried setting
 \override
VerticalAxisGroup.default-staff-staff-spacing.minimum-distance = #17
both in Staff and ChoirStaff contexts without any luck.

Suggestions? :-)
Thanks

Hi

How can I add a little more space between the Dynamics and the lower staff
upper lyrics? (see attach).

The group can be resumed as:

  \new ChoirStaff <<
  \new Staff = "staffu" <<
\new Voice = "melA" \upA
\new Voice = "melB" \upB
  >>
\new Lyrics   \with { alignAboveContext = "staffu" } {\lyricsto melA
\text}
\new Lyrics  {\lyricsto melB \text }

\new Dynamics{  ... }

  \new Staff = "staffd" <<
\new Voice = "melC" \lowA
\new Voice = "melD" \lowB
  >>
  \new Lyrics   \with { alignAboveContext = "staffd" }  {\lyricsto melC

Naturally, you can adjust its shape with the \shape command if desired,
but this usually gives a pretty good starting shape.


This look a lot more high level, but I understand sometimes it might 
need some tweaks.

The Notation Manual shows how to do this in 5.5.4 Modifying shapes

Removing time signature from end of line

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

I would like to hide the cautionary time signature change from the end 
of the staff. I found out that


 \set Staff.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #end-of-line-invisible

works for the key, but I couldn't find the equivalent for the time 
signature.


Also, this change is from a Marcia to a Trio, and I would like to hide, 
at the beginning of the trio, the repeat bar (just like if it was a new 
piece). Is that possible?



My other alternative would be to have two separate \score, but then 
measure counter is reset when starting the Trio, and I do not want that.



Thanks for any ideas/pointers

I'm not experienced with lilypond-book, but is it as simple as
using \bookpart to make the page breaks? Or are you trying to
make \pageBreaks within a \score? I think you might need to give
more context, ie an example of the structure of your file with
the \book \bookpart \score commands, and indicating where the
page breaks are that you want to force.


I am trying to break inside a score.
In fact, my "main document" is only:

\score{
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff = "up"   \up
\new Dynamics = "dynamics" \dynamics
\new Staff = "down" \down
>>
}





My current solution:

\def\betweenLilyPondSystem[1]{}

\newcommand{\breakAt}[1]{\renewcommand{\betweenLilyPondSystem}[1]{\ifthenelse{##1 
= #1}{\newpage}{\linebreak\vfill}}}



and then, before a score:

\breakAt{1}

at it makes a linebreak after first line.

Problem will be when my music doesn't fit in two pages.
But a thing at a time.

As far as I could understand, the solution is to create two bookparts

It seems that \pageBreak is not honored by Lilypond.
I found an old post [1] that seems to state that it is needed to enclose

Dear Hwaen,

Thanks for your share.

time slice, next weekend :)

Greetings Alberto,

I have been wwriting A LOT of four-hand music, and I agree in
principle with most of what I have read in this thread. Even so, I
thought to chime in with my approach. As has been advised, I create
two separate book files, one for Secondo and one for Primo. The top of
each file is headed with the following:

#(define-markup-command (four-hand-page layout props offset) (number?)
  (let* (
(two-hand (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number-string props))
(four-hand (number->string (+ offset (* 2 (string->number two-hand))
(interpret-markup layout props four-hand)))

Then, in the \paper block, I include the following for the Secondo part:

oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
  \four-hand-page #0
  " "
}
evenHeaderMarkup = ##f

Or, for the Primo part:

oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line {
  " "
  \four-hand-page #1
}
evenHeaderMarkup = ##f

In this way, each part will begin with the correct page number, and
the numbering will increase by two automatically.

In my experience, I have found that there can be no "master file" used
for determining page breaks, due to the lovely but unpredictable way
that LilyPond lays out pages. So this must still be done by trial and
error. I do, however, use the Secondo file in the end as a "master"
for generating a Table of Contents.

Finally, I also use pdftk to produce the full book, but the process
outlined earlier can be extremely streamlined if you use the "collate"
feature. You do not need to burst the files into separate pages; pdftk
will automatically alternate the pages when combining the two files.

I hope this has been helpful.

This seems to be the mainstream way of handling breaks and pageBreaks
(though I hadn't thought of specifically using a Dynamics context).


One would still have to place things in the right order in the input file
to build the left and right pages, of course.


I wouldn't try to build the score in display order at all. In fact,
if you want to be able to start a new piece halfway down the page, I
think you'd get into a real mess.

I would typeset the primo and secondo in separate scores, using \books
to write separate PDF files.

I would use breakbefore = ##t to get the titling out of the way on
page 1.

Consequently, primo would have its first music on page 2. All
subsequent page breaks would be written:

\pageBreak % skips to the next page...
\markup { " " }
\pageBreak % ...and that leaves a page blank (except the page number).

so that a blank page is left for secondo, and every odd page is blank.
(Probably put this construction in a variable.)

Secondo would start with an immediate extra:

\pageBreak % skips to the next page...
\markup { " " }
\pageBreak % ...and that leaves a page blank (except the page number).

so that its first music is on page 3. Continue as with primo, so every
even page is blank.

If this looks familiar, it's because this is a rehash of
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2016-05/msg00069.html

Burst the two PDFs into two directories and delete all the empty pages
(ie every other file). Move the remaining files from either directory
into the other. Concatenate the PDFs exactly as before, except now the
output file is called interleaved-output.pdf instead of
decimated-output.pdf.


[A.N.Other] said:



The initial problem is getting the page breaks in sync.
Once you've achieved that (presumably by manually adding page breaks)

Write your page breaks into *one* variable. Where you give this variable
to \new Dynamics in the \score structures, prefix *only* secondo with
an extra copy of the three-liner above. This approach guarantees the same
pagebreaks for the two players, but pushes secondo forward by one page.

David.

One thing I just start thinking of: you can use openLilyLib's break package to 
ease your workflow.  This allows you to specify breaks as one single list. Then 
you can apply that break list to both scores. You still have to do the page 
breaking manually but have a clean interface to it.

I can't look into it right now as I'm on the train ...

I want to prepare a small book of small 4 hands piece. This mean that I need

What is it that is causing you conceptual difficulty exactly? Can you

Basically, I have "two musics" that should be interleaved in pages.
I know how to force line breaks, or page breaks, but how can I do a page 
break and tell lilypond or lilybook that next it should render another

So, I do not have any idea how to do it :-)

Music Notation/Interpretation question

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

This is not exactly a Lilypond doubt...

but imagine a chord, in a left hand piano piece, with 

Lilypond will eventually put c and g at the left of the note stem, and d 
and a at the right (what it does exactly is not relevant for the question).


The question is:
 is the side of the note relevant when analyzing a music?

Basically, during my music formation, nobody ever told me anything about 
that. But last week, when asking a friend daughter to verify a 
transcription, she said that the notes at the right of the stem should 
be the ones relevant for the chord, and that the side of them is relevant...


Do any of you ever heard anything about that? Or did you read anything?
If so, can you share your knowledge on that?

We can discuss if it should have all those slurs. In that I might agree,

This is a tremolo. It means that the lower and upper note/chord are

Well, the contained phrase has a length of 1/16, and you want to repeat
it until you get 3/4 (the length indicated by the notehead).
(3/4)/(1/16)=(48/4)=12.


Right! The main problem with the manual examples is they use 8 for a 
whole, 6 for a dotted minimum, and somehow it seemed to me that number 
was the "size" of each note.

CrossStaff Stems

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

Is this still up to date?

http://fritz.rmi.de/dokumentation/lilypond/Documentation/user/lilypond/Cross-staff-stems.fr.html

I tried it, but the staves got so distant from each other just to be 
sure the extended stem didn't overlap the upper line...



I can prepare a smaller working example if needed.

Thanks
Alberto

Quick review request

[Alberto Simões]

Hi

Yeah, more Gounod. Not a very interesting piece, but transcribed it for 
readability, and before sending it to IMSLP, I would love if someone 
could give a quick review on the transcription for errors.


Of course that style corrections are welcome as well. Just note I will 
try to stick as much as I can to the original.

Re: More Gounod :-)

[Alberto Simões]

Hello,

Finally trying to review this.

On 12/12/15 06:18, Brian Barker wrote:

o It's a weird style that puts full stops other than at the end of
sentences. You have sensibly excised the full stops after the title and
the composer. It would be sensible also to lose them after "Murmurs of
regret from the troupe", "The procession", and "Return to the House".
(But you do need the full stops after "... broken" and "... refreshments".)


Decided to remove them all. I think that even the two after "broken" and 
"refreshments" can be dropped without big loses.



o There are many accidentals that I would parenthesise, e.g. the
naturals in bar 24 and the flat and natural in bar 26 (and many more) -
but you may want to retain the style of the original.


Yes, I will keep them as they are. I feel the whole score is already too 
crowded with notation, that the parenthesis might make more confusion 
than help.



o The slur from the C-sharp in bar 23 to the D in bar 24 fails to appear
at all in the new system. (The identical one between bars 109 and 110 is
how it should look.)


Fortunately, forcing the music to be in four pages solved the issue 
without I needing to learn how to do it :-)



o Shouldn't the grace note in bar 53 be slurred to its adjacent D, not
to the lower F-sharp? (This occurs also in bars 57, 69, 85, 89, and 90.)


I think I fixed them all.


o The dynamics surely do not follow standard practice? The forte in bar
54 continues to apply in bar 55 without being repeated. Is this meant to
represent sforzando? This also applies to the forte in bar 87, the
pianissimos in bars 95, 97, and 99, and the ppp in bar 139: they all
apply without being stated. But again you may wish to preserve the style
of the original.


Indeed, not sure why those repetitions. Will keep with the original.


Further suggestions and corrections are welcome.

in a nutshell:

And I have yet another suggestion: It works as is, but LilyPond would
have more freedom to make good linebreaks if you insert \bar "" at
appropriate places in the introduction’s cadenza.

It still looks like my comments didn't come across, or perhaps you

groups with the stems up where they don't (shouldn't?) be. I'll take a
look at the file later and try to send you more specifics.


Yes, I have missed the pull.
Should be fixed now, together with some other fixes Simon suggested.

I need your help with this. Although I got it working for the upper

I am using: R1*1/2
And getting:

intro.ly:97:5: warning: barcheck failed at: 1/2
  |
R1*1/2 \bar "|."

Of course the upper measure is  gis2  and it doesn't complain there.


It seems that you intentionally replaced -! by -. in Valse 1, however
the original uses them distinctly and I’d stick with that.


Thanks for the note. I didn't really notice (and in fact I am not sure 
what that means, musically speaking, but I will find that out)



The hairpins in Valse 4 should stop at the third beat, I think.


Not sure what you mean with that one.


It would probably be better English to begin the Credits sentence with
‘Thanks to…’.


Fixed!

Yep, I understood you were suggesting to make them the first voice.
I agree that making their beam go down will take less space. Will try 
later today, as that is quite fast.


Nevertheless, I would not like to join notes in, for example, measures 
5, 7 or 21 (Valse 2). I really thing this distinction might be relevant, 
expressing that the ones joined together can be played with the same 
"force", but that when they are separated, the melody is only the upper 
voice (my humble opinion, but as the original typeset back me, I will 
keep them as they are). :-) :-)

And just out of curiosity: What was your motivation to do the retypeset?


I printed both this and the Valse des Syphiles to play in the piano, but 
the digitization gets hard to read when printed. So, I decided to 
typeset both, so I can play them easier. Knowing IMSLP accepts 
transcriptions, I decided to uplod them, too :)


As I've contributed some small Diabelli pieces to Mutopia some time ago, 
I decided to create a github repo, so everyone can fix it if by some 
reason lilypond breaks it (as in, gets incompatibly). So, in the next 
weeks I might take those Diabelli pieces and try to update them for 
recent lilypond, and add to this same repo. By the way, if someone wants 
to join, let me know. >:-)

There is a couple of details you will find different from the original

Although not doubting your suggestion, I would be very interested to

There definitely is (though I'd hardly call any of them a "document").
The most prominent work at the moment is Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars",
but there are others that are very good, some more dated than others:

  * Ted Ross - The Art of Music Engraving and Processing
  * Kurt Stone - Music Notation in the Twentieth Century: A Practical
Guidebook
  * Gardner Read - Music Notation: A Manual of Modern Practice
  * Clinton Roemer - The Art of Music Copying


Thank you.
Will try to find some of them. Mostly curiosity on the topic :)

Best,
Alberto

This is looking MUCH better (nice work with the extended dynamic lines ;-).
I'll look at it in greater detail later, but here's one thing that I
immediately noticed quite a few instances of that you would get dinged for: You
should ALWAYS enclose a tied note within a slurred passage. Here's what I mean:

Inline image 1


Would it be possible for you to attach your image to the email rather
than to insert it in this form. Not everyone reads their email in HTML.

Agreed :-)
I think that disagreement is always good. But to disagree I need to know 
with which to disagree about :)

Chords with "optional" notes

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

There are musics where chords have a smaller note, that is optional.

I found some logs from this mailing list in 2007, suggesting things like:

   \tweak #'font-size #-4 g

Is there any easier way? (as in, less verbose).

In fact, I have a bunch of octave chords, where the upper note is 
smaller. If someone knowing a little of scheme would help me writing a 
macro/function for that, I would be much appreciated.


Best,
Alberto

Perhaps

is a good starting point for some scheme trickery?


Yay.

It shouldn't be harder than Perl :-)

lets try.

Tried to apply it directly at first, but got this complain from lilypond:

Parsing...: While evaluating arguments to memoization in 
expression (do () (#) ...):

: Illegal empty combination ().

I am running LilyPond 2.19.30.

Usually what I do is to insert "invisible" \tempo marks to control midi
playback speed. Or more precisely, \tag them so that they are removed
from the typeset score, but included in the midi score. Something like
this:

myMusic = {
\tempo 4 = 120 % initial tempo
...
\tag #'midi \tempo 4 = 130 % tweak midi tempo
...
\tag #'midi \tempo 4 = 120 % set it back to "normal"
...
}

% Score for layout only
\score {
\removeWithTag #'midi \myMusic
\layout {}
}

% Score for midi only
\score {
\myMusic
\midi {}
}

Removing "cautionary" natural

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

I have a melody where, somewhere, there is a bes
a little later, the is a bes'
then a b'
and later a b
this last b has a natural mark (like the previous one) because (I think) 
it is in a different pitch.


Nevertheless I would like to "remove" (hide) it.

What is the easiest way?

THank you
Alberto

In LilyPond versions above 2.19.something there is the more advanced
command \magnifyMusic that scales also stem lengths, beam thicknesses
and some other things.
 \magnifyMusic #(magstep -2) { here comes the music }
 % magstep -2 is the same factor as fontSize = -2, i. e. 2^(-2/6)


Hi

This would be handy, as changing only the size, the spacing between 
notes is mostly kept unaltered.


So, installing MacOS X x86: LilyPond 2.19.30-1

Will be back later... if my laptop doesn't blow up :D

Cadenza...

[Alberto Simões]

Hello

First, sorry if the name is not the correct one. For me the lilypond 
website is down for two days, making it hard to look the glossary :-)


What is the correct/best/modern way to obtain something like the excerpt 
in attach? Making the measure have a different duration is easy... my 
main question is the notes size.


Is tweaking the notes size the correct way to do it?

Thank you
Alberto
