Re: time notation
Ciao Trevor, I was in fact waiting for your reply...:) I have suspended the experimentation for the moment, but as soon as I can I'll test it. Yes, I have floats. Thanks Best -a- Hi Andrea, Warning: completely untested idea: but could you simply use proportional notation with 4/4 (hide all the barlines, meters, etc) and then renotate each floating point value as a fraction over 1000 (or 1)? \new Staff { c'1 * 3921/1000 c'1 * 689/1000 } (I'm assuming you probably have lists of floats that represent durations or attack times, yes?)

Re: Can Lilypond export separate pdfs?
Adam, I haven't followed the thread in depth so sorry for eventual misconceptions. So out of curiosity one day I checked out including one of my pieces as a pdf in a LaTeX document (which i couldn't get happening in Lilypond-LaTeX but could get happening in LaTeX) and it loaded way way quicker but as you pointed out to me in a previous post, you can only include graphics that are 1 page. thus my question about getting Lilypond to export more than one file for multi-page pieces. I assume you have many multiple page pdfs generated by lily, and you want to recollect them in a global document, like a collection of pieces, am I right? In the case LaTeX is not the good choice for complex typography at all. Just quit it, and so lilypond-book, which is intended mainly for musicological example. LaTeX still remains focused on scientific publications. ConTeXt, which is a much more modern and compact macro- package for TeX, is the right tool, as it allows you to quickly control all typographical dimensions. And it is pdf-native. http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Main_Page I've finished last night this: http://www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/lamine.pdf Notation is with lily (wow). Global layout with ConTeXt (wow). In the ConTeXt source I have a \copypage command which allow me to import (eventually scaled etc) pages from pdf. e.g. \copypages[../scores/I.UTF.pdf][scale=1000] % 1000 means 100% See here for all the possibilities: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Including_pages_from_PDF_document More, if you're on macosx with seamlessy integrated pdf support, everything works in a breeze: e.g IPA support I used in the score requires TIPA fonts, actually only available for LaTeX.

In any case: I found absolutely necessary to have in lily docs many diagrams as possibile. Lily is a complex program, where user can operate at different level. A schema showing all the components of Lily and all the point where user can operate will be mostly helpful. One of the most difficult point with Lily for a new user is that you can make things in many ways. This is richness, indeed. But only if you understand the underlying structure.

I'm interested in this kind of 'al niente' / 'de niente' thing, too, but haven't had a chance to figure out the right settings yet. If it turns out to be difficult to do currently, maybe we could sponsor together once the 2.9 dev cycle starts. Another way of notating this, which I prefer, but also I think needs to be implemented, is to follow the decresc. (or precede the cresc.) with a bold/italic "n" or "n.", for niente. Does #(make-dynamic-script "n.") not help? (As in the examples in 8.1.8?) At least one music font/notation program, I forget which, includes for this purpose a letter "n" in the same style as mrsfp for dynamics. So perhaps the ideal way to implement this latter kind of niente notation (the hairpin circle tip being the other kind) would be to create a new dynamic mark, called "n", and syntax analogous to the other dynamics, thus: c2~\> c~ c r\n ...would do a hairpin decresc. to niente, with the "n" marked under the rest (and, like any other dynamic mark, signalling an end of the hairpin). Perhaps, then, there could be a setting which would decide whether that syntax prints a dynamic letter "n" on the one hand, or modifies the hairpin with a circle at the tip, on the other hand. Then one could switch globally between the two methods of notating niente without rewriting each instance. The syntax for a cresc. from silence would have to be a little less elegant, though maybe simply: c2~\n\< c~ c\! r And for consistency, the first example could be modified to: c2~\> c~ c r\!\n ...explicitly ending the descrescendo. I don't know whether this sort of syntax is practical; it's just the first thing that comes to mind. Maybe more practical is 1) a setting to switch on/off circles at the point of a hairpin, for the first method of notation, and 2) a new dynamic letter, "n" (and command "\n"), for the second method. As an alternative to the second method -- and a perhaps more conventional one, recommended by Kurt Stone -- niente can be notated not with the dynamic letter "n" but with the italic "n." (this time with a period). I've also used a dynamic-font "s" for this purpose (abbr. "silence") in Finale, but eventually backed away from the notation because it just seemed too English-centered and too similar to "s" for "subito" in other contexts. This should be possible to do now, but I can't figure out how to switch off the boldface: n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text #:italic "n." ) ) % This makes the text bold-italic. n = #(make-dynamic-script (markup #:text "n." ) ) % In fact, even this makes it bold-italic, as if that's the default text font style. Why? And how to switch it off? (I'm using make-dynamic-script, rather than a regular \markup command, because the "n." needs to be aligned with the hairpin.) Thanks in advance for any feedback on the "niente" implementation/syntax (I too might be willing to co-sponsor it) and/or on this latter problem of bold-italic text.

tuplet collision
Dear all, In a piece with a lot of tuplets, I have many collisions between bracket/number and beams. I solved my problem via manual adjustment. Also, I noticed that changing fonts I was able to avoid the collisions. But this is a workaround.

Thanks for your kindness. This is a very useful explanation. Best -a- On 21 Nov 2005, at 10:25, Mats Bengtsson wrote: The point of the DynamicLineSpanner is to keep all dynamics aligned, both absolute dynamics like \f and \mp and (de)crescendi (both in the form of hairpins and as text with a dashed line). Changing the padding property of DynamicsLineSpanner will therefore move all dynamic indications up or down. The extra-offset property is fairly well described in "Common Tweaks". One important difference between the padding and the extra-offset is that if you increase the padding, LilyPond will notice that the dynamic has changed and will adjust the layout of the rest of the score to take this change into account, for example by increasing the space between two staves or between two score lines, if necessary. If you set extra-offset, on the other hand, you can be sure that nothing else will change, so in general I always recommend to use the padding property if you want to things up or down and extra-offset only if you have to move something left or right and it doesn't help to set the alignment. /Mats andrea valle wrote: Ok Mats, I read it before writing to the list, but it would have help if the manual provided an example.

Re: 2.5.28 & png generation
On my macosx 10.3.8 lilyApp 2.5.28 had png conversion broken. But in 2.5.29 works perfectly, both from app and from command line. Also resolution setting is ok. The only thing that doesn't work as I was expecting is that, while using lilypond.sh from command line, the conversions from .ps put resulting files always in my user and not in the folder of the ly file. Example: I give the command line to eat: apples-Computer:~ apple$ lilypond.sh --png --define-default=resolution=300 --output=/Users/apple/Desktop/testScriptor/testScriptor1 /Users/apple/Desktop/testScriptor/testScriptor1.ly Lily replies: Layout output to `/Users/apple/Desktop/testScriptor/testScriptor1.ps'...

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/script", line 167, in ? os.unlink (a + '.ps') OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'testScriptor1.ps' In LilyApp the output pdf is in the same folder of the input ly file. But it seems that conversion from lilypond.sh doesn't recognize the path. Ps file is under /Users/apple/Desktop/testScriptor/ and pdfs/pngs are under /Users/Apple (and so it fails to remove ps).

Re: Lilypond and Latex on Windows
Well, in order to avoid possible confusion, I'm not an expert at all. On MacOSX I'm not able to see the dvi too, but the output on ps is ok for me. I also used dvipdf instead of dvips to convert directly to pdf the dvi. I made only very simple tests, but it worked. But when I try to apply the same to my own files, several latex errors occur; e.g. "play.sty not found" or "text line vontains an invalid character". Actually I discovered that I have two distributions of latex, one installed by the editor (TexShop) the other probably shipped with the OS. When I invoked via terminal the second was called, which is conisderably older and out of date than the other. I update class style by hand in this distro and solved the problem of having the class files. It could be so also with your editor.

Re: MacOS X native packaged (was Re: lilypond install mac os x)
My feeling is that Lilypond is different that GB, and concerning the notation, it is superior in many ways (I'm not sure though, can anyone send a PDF sample to me?). If anything, it should be as expensive. As a mac user, two cents: 1) GB is also an audio/midi editor. So, it can be compared only very roughly with lily. 2) If it only depends on its effective value, lily should cost very much and surely much more than GB, which should be freeware for me (with 0 downloads)... . Maybe the idea was not to have lily mac app free, but that it costs the minimum.

Installing on macosx 10.3
Hi to all, we followed installing procedure for lily 2.4.2 on MacOsx 10.3 (via fink). We installed fink, make selfupdate, then, with fink install lilypond -unstable", fink downloaded lily and other packages and compiled them all with no errors. But, as result, there's no executable. We only find files .info and .patch. ? Any help is much appreciated best -a- _ For your security, this mail has been scanned and protected by Inflex ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: troubles on installation on fc2 and macosx 10.3
Thanks a lot Mats and sorry for the delay. Since the syntax has changed a bit between the two versions, you cannot use the same version of test.ly. Ok. That's true: I wrongly assumed test.ly was so simple to be common to all versions. Always read the documentation corresponding to the version you use (and please always tell what version of the program you have, when asking questions on the mailing list). I would be very surprised if your own Python programs don't work equally well. Without knowing anything about Mac, I guess the solution is Fink. I'm out of Lab so I could not check what happened to mac and fedora. Anyway, Apple on OSX installs a Python framework which is notoriously delicate (at least following what is said on macpython page), so I was asking myself if Fink installs an autonomous Python package and if consequently there are drawbacks.

troubles on installation on fc2 and macosx 10.3
Hi to all, first post, so pardon me if I'm asking obvious thing. Searched the archives but wasn't able to find an answer. Here in Turin we are making some installation tests. On win2k all right: a beautiful pdf score from test.ly. On fedora core 2, very fast installation, everything seems ok also while parsing the test.ly, no errors at all, but: we have no output file. We also changed some flags but: no way. Any hints? We also tested on mac osx 10.3 (which would be my preferite choice). I cannot tell you the results because after two hours and a half of hard work of cpu (fink etc) we have to close the office leaving g5 working. On monday morning we will check... But: is it the standard behaviour? I see that at least on mac lily installs python: what does this mean? Python framework is a nightmare on mac, and my system for algo composition works on python. So I'd like to have it works. Could anyone tell me something about it? Thanks a lot for your kindness Best -a- Andrea Valle Laboratorio multimediale "G.

frontends
Dear all, I'd like to use Lilypond for algorithmic composition. The task could be to develop a program (maybe in Python) to write the lilypond file. But in instrumental composition there's always the necessity to re-adjust the result of the algorithmic process in order to have it (more) "playable". Is there a GUI frontend for lily for post-processing? (Or, which would be the same: does lily export in finale .mus extension?) Is there anyone doing algo-comp in this way on the list? thanks and best -a- ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
