Vertical aligning of lyric stanzas
Hello,
I have a piece with lyrics made in lilypond 2.6.3. Now I have lilypond
version 2.7.22 (because of piano brace failure in 2.6). The problem
is, that in the newer version minimumVerticalExtend property doesn't
work and I don't know why. Every voice has 2 stanzas. Here is the
source code:
\score {
\context ChoirStaff <<
\context Voice =
discantusNotes <<
\set Staff.instrument = "Cantus"
\global \discantusNotes >>
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics {
\set minimumVerticalExtent = #'(1.2 . 2.4)
\discantusLyrics }
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics {
\set minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-2.0 . 2.2)
\secondLyrics }
\context Voice =
altusNotes <<
\set Staff.instrument = "Altus"
\global \altusNotes >>
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics {
\set minimumVerticalExtent = #'(1.2 . 2.4)
\discantusLyrics }
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics {
\set minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-2.0 . 2.2)
\secondLyrics }
And so on, there is 4 voices. \set minimumVerticalExtent property
doesn't work. Is there any knew possibility of doing this?
Best regards,
Anna Choma

Braces in PianoStaff
Hello! I use the 2.6.3 version of Lilypond. I've noticed that braces that appear ont the left side of each line are wider than the staff. Can one change this as to make that the ends of the brace would stick to the staff and not extend beyond it?

Wrong eps file with lily 2.6.3
Hello, I have problems with generting an eps file (small music fragments). Usually, after generating the ps file using lilypond, I made the eps file from the ps using eps2epsi program and the eps file was correct. With the lilypond version 2.4.5 everything worked fine. But I have also installed the 2.6.3 version of lilypond. When I process the *.ly file with the newer lilypond, it creates a ps file, from which I can't generate a correct eps file. The bounding box is incorrect (the notes are beyond the box). Changing the box manually doesn't have any effect either. When I switch to lily 2.4.5, everything works fine again. Does anyone know why the 2.4.5 lilypond creates diifferent *.ps files from the 2.6.3 lilypond? Why I can't use the ps2epsi with lily 2.6.3? I've tried also ps2eps programm, it creates also wrong files (bad bounding box).

Re: Stanzas in Lyrics --- alignment
Thank you very much. It works, but only for one voice. I have 4
voices, and each of them has two stanzas. My score looks (fragment
with 2 voices):
\score {
\context ChoirStaff <<
\context Voice = discantusNotes <<
\set Staff.instrument = "Cantus"
\global \discantusNotes
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics \discantusLyrics
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics \secondLyrics
\set Lyrics.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-5 . 2) >>
\context Voice = altusNotes <<
\set Staff.instrument = "Altus"
\global \altusNotes
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics \discantusLyrics
\lyricsto "discantusNotes" \new Lyrics \secondLyrics
\set Lyrics.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(-5 . 2) >>
Setting the first works, setting the second doesn't work. Why? I've
tried other places, but it works only, when I put the setting after
the \lyricsto line. I've tried also put the line in the \context
Lyrics in the \layout block. It has no effect either. What am I doing
wrong?

Partcombine music
Hello, I write an orchestra piece and have some problem with partcombine formatting. 1) I need to have some control over partcombine setting. It's done automaticcaly (sometimes stems and slurs are written in two oposite directions and there are two voices, sometimes the two voices are linked into one). How to achieve control over such formatting? I would like to have more "one voice" formatting with a sign "a2". Two voices are very often identicall, so why are they split? 2) How to raise a little the "solo" word in partcombine music? It appears automatically and it's ok.

Slur adjusting
Hello,
I write a piece of Wagner, where there is many many slurs. To make
them look better (without collision with staff lines, accidentals,
other slurs and ties, to make them stick to notes) I use such
predefinitions:
\override Slur #'extra-offset...
\override Slur #'height-limit...
\override Slur #'control-points...
My version of Lilypond is 2.4.5 and my questions are:
1) How to revert the influance of such definitions after using it and
after the changed slur? I have problem especcialy with control-points
-- all the next slurs are changed. I have tried to use \once before
the override command, but then changing next slurs with another
command doesn't work at all. I've tried also putting the slured notes
into brackets { }, it has no effect either.
2) Is there any good method of changing slur curvature and slur
beginning point and ending point? Only control-points?
3) Why the slurs so often doesn't stick to notes they belog to? Am I
doing something wrong?

I think it's time for you to start reading the section of the manual

Thank you very much.
I have been using Lilypond some time ago (two years or so) and now had
to write small pieces of music. Many features has changed, and I had
to write them very quickly. When I have time I will thoroughly read
the manual. But manipulating with scheme (and changing the defults)
always seemed to me a bit complicated. I am patient, but when you
don't have enough time...

When I tried your file, I got a syntax error. From your email,
I got the impression that the file was processed without problems

No, I've got syntax error too. That's my \paper block:
\paper { paperheight = 21.0 \cm
linewidth = 134\mm
pagenumber = no
indent = 0
\context {
\ScoreContext \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
\StaffContext \consists
"Horizontal_bracket_engraver"}
}
The only problem with your file is that you had copied a solution
written for an older version of LilyPond without updating the
syntax. Just replace \translator with \context in your \paper{...}
block to get a fully working example for version 2.2.6.
Ok, I replaced \translator with \context, byt stiil it doesn't work.
Syntax error still apears.
When you upgrade to version 2.4 or whatever, use convert-ly to
upgrade the syntax. For that reason, I recommend to already now
insert a line
\version "2.2.6"
at the top of your .ly files.
I have processed my file through convert-ly, but it has no effect on
syntax inside the file. At first I processed without any arguments
convert-ly file.ly
Only the line version has changed to \version 2.2.0
Then I have processed with arguments:
convert-ly -f=2.2.0 -t=2.2.6
I've got syntax error. I don't know why.
By the way, I don't know what you expect the setting
\set Staff.minimumVerticalExtent = #'(+2 . 5.1)
to do. Since the staff lines themselves extend down to -2,
there's no reason to set the lower edge (the first number)
of the minimumVerticalExtent larger than -2.
Yes, I know. I tried with different numbers to change the wertical
distance between staffs. I noticed, that only changing the second
number has an effect. Long ago I set the first number to +2, I don't
remember why. Ok, I will set to -2.
