Symmetrical hairpins
Hi,
I'm trying to place symmetrical hairpins under a bar, but it turns out
that the left (crescendo) hairpin is longer than the right
(descrescendo) hairpin.
MWE:
\version "2.24.1"
\new Voice \relative <<
{ c'2 c2 }
{ s2\< s2\> <>\! }
>>
Tweaking with the lengths of the spacers turns out very difficult and
results in hairpins at unequal vertical positions:
\version "2.24.1"
\new Voice \relative <<
{ c'2 c2 }
{ s4...\< s32\! s2\> <>\! }
>>
And sometimes I need an absolute dynamic in front of the hairpins, in
which case the left hairpin becomes very small:
\version "2.24.1"
\new Voice \relative <<
{ c'2 c2 }
{ s4...\pp\< s32\! s2\> <>\! }
>>
Is there an (hopefully easy) way to give both hairpins equal size and
vertical alignment, regardless of the presence of an absolute dynamic in
front?
Regards,
Arjen
Re: Othering??
My guess: "Othering" is the visual result of a word of 8 letters ending in ".ing" (e.g., Building) partly being overwritten by the word "Other". This can happen when a progression line is repeatedly overwritten by ending it with a lone carriage return character (CR, ASCII 13) causing the cursor to return to the beginning of the same line on the terminal screen. Only when a line feed (LF, ASCII 10) is received, the cursor will move one line down. -Loading \Loading |Loading /Loading Other To find out which word exactly is overwritten each time, try capturing the output in a file. On unix-like platforms there are several techniques for this, redirection comes to mind. lilypond-command > output.log 2>&1 Regards, Arjen Bax Op 10-05-2023 om 18:04 schreef Paul Hodges: Eh?

vertical placement of trillspan and upbow
Hello,
I am trying to switch the vertical stacking order of the upbow symbol
and the trillspan in the following fragment by overriding the
script-priority of the upbow symbol.
The upbow symbol should be the topmost.
\version "2.22.1"
\relative a'' {
g1\startTrillSpan ( ~
\once \override Script.script-priority = #1000
g2\upbow\stopTrillSpan ~ \acciaccatura fis8 g8 e8)
}
I tried replacing "Script" with "TextScript", but it did not work either.
And I tried overriding TrillSpanner.script-priority to -1000 (placing it
before the g1), which also didn't work.
Can someone please be so kind to explain how to accomplish this?
Regards,
Arjen

Thank you. Works like a charm!

Missing notes after lyrics end: bug?
I am typesetting an SATB hymn with where the lyrics of the four voices
are almost the same. This results in ChoirStaff setup with two Staff
contexts and a Lyrics context inbetween. The staff contexts each contain
two voices.
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper <<
\new Voice = sop
\new Voice = alt
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto alt
\new Staff = lower <<
\new Voice = ten
\new Voice = bas
>>
>>
Now in bar 38 soprano and bass have 2 syllables less than alto and
tenor. I'd like to add the alternative soprano text above the upper
staff just for that single bar.
I have tried the following, defining the auxiliary soparno lyrics to be:
sopTxt = \new Lyrics = sopL \with {
alignAboveContext = "upper"
}
\lyricsto sop \lyricmode { be with Him }
and replacing bar 38 of the soprano melody { c4 g g2 } by
<< { c4 g g2 } { \sopTxt } >>
This has the intended effect of the lyrics "be with Him" being aligned
above the upper staff, but as a side effect, the complete soprano melody
from the next bar onwards vanishes! Is this a bug, or should I do this
differently?
Complete minimal working example, omitting the lower staff:
\version "2.16.2"
sopTxt = \new Lyrics = sopL \with { alignAboveContext = "upper" }
\lyricsto sop \lyricmode { A C }
sopV = \relative c'' { << { c2 c } { \sopTxt } >> c4 c c c }
altV = \relative c' { c4 c c c c c c c }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff <<
\new Staff = upper <<
\new Voice = sop { \voiceOne \sopV }
\new Voice = alt { \voiceTwo \altV }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto alt { A B C D E F G H }
>>
}
Where are the four c4 notes of the soprano?

Create encapsulated postscript images with the eps backend and insert the eps-files as images into your LibreOffice document. lilypond --ps -d backend=eps On Linux and Mac, inserting eps images is no problem at all; I believe that on Windows, LibreOffice will recognize and use ghostscript if you have installed it. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Occasionally, I use \epsfile to insert ornamental graphics between \score{}
blocks. To convert any graphics file to eps, I use Imagemagick's 'convert':
convert ornament.jpg EPS2:ornament.eps

Use \halign:

{

}

I don't think so, but I would start by specifying a ridiculously large page width (wide enoug for your music to fit on one system) and ragged-right = ##t and using the eps backend.

bug? \lyricsto aligns with markup, not with note
Hello lily-lovers,
Before filing this as a bug, I thought to ask it on the lilypond users
list first whether is is a bug or a feature.
Using lilypond 2.8.7 (which is the current version on Debian Etch).
When attaching Lyrics to a Voice with \lyricsto and the Lyrics context
is above the Voice context and the note in the Voice context has a
markup attached (with ^ or _), then the Lyrics text will be aligned with
the center of the markup text instead of the note. See example.
When the markup is removed, the Lyrics will be aligned ok.
Also, when the Lyrics context is moved below the Voice context, the
Lyrics will be aligned ok.
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Thank you,
Arjen Bax
\version "2.8.7"
bas = \relative c'' { c1_"This is a rather long markup" }
versII = \lyricmode { Word }
\score {
<<
\new Lyrics = basL { s4 }
\new Voice = basV { \bas }
\context Lyrics = basL \lyricsto basV \versII

collision of dynamic signs and markup text
Hello lilypond-users,
In the following fragment
\new Staff { \dynamicUp c'\f^"Solo" }
the dynamic sign "f" is overwritten with the text "Solo". I know that I can
solve that with
\new Staff { c'^\markup{\column{"Solo" \dynamic f}} }
but it happens rather often in the piece I'm typesetting and this solution
causes rather much typing and is error-prone.
Is there an automatic way to achieve non-colliding texts?
Thanks in advance,
Arjen
