Thank you, Joram.  The version was the issue.  It works now.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

hide staff.BarLine fails

2017-02-08 Thread arlin
I am trying to produce a score with barlines between the staves.  The manual
provides this snip, but I get an "unknown escaped string: '\hide'" when I
compile it.  Thanks in advance for any help.

global = {
  \hide Staff.BarLine
  s1 s
  % the final bar line is not interrupted
  \undo \hide Staff.BarLine
  \bar "|."
}
\new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
  <<
\new Staff { << \global { c1 c } >> }
\new Staff { << \global { c c } >> }
  >>
}

Re: hide staff.BarLine fails

2017-02-08 Thread arlin
Thank yu for the reply.

I'm transcribing renaissance music, which was barless, but I want barlines
to appear between the staves, i.e. mensurstriche layout. The snippet I
quoted is at
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/working-with-ancient-music_002d_002dscenarios-and-solutions

But it doesn't work.  What I'd really like is a snippet that will produce
the result shown on that page.

Multiple Movements -- made simple?

2013-02-23 Thread Arlin Geyer
I want to print multiple movements one after the other, with titles.  
I gather Lilypond can do this with \score and multiple \header lines, 
but I don't know where to put the various things in the document.

Can someone lay out a simple demo for me with maybe a bar or two of music 
in each of two movements?  (Or even just a comment line saying where the 
music goes.)

Thanks in advance.

position of the little '8' in bass clef

2011-04-03 Thread Arlin

The bass recorder reads bass clef, but it sounds an octave higher than
written, so the clef needs a little '8' over it.  In Lilypond this is \clef
F^8

But the little '8' is printed way above the clef.  Is there a way to lower
the '8' to right above the clef?

Thanks for any help.

Re: Favorite Lilypond-Score Printer?

2011-04-03 Thread Arlin

Laser vs. inkjet:

Laser printers are more expensive to buy but less expensive to use. 

Laser printers make cleaner text, and inkjet printers do better graphics.
(Lilypond symbols are treated as text.)

Laser output is more water-resistant then inkjet.

Laser toner cartridges are expensive but last a long time.

Most inkjet printers print in color, while basic laser printers are black
only.

Large format laser printers (for tabloid-size paper) tend to be large and
heavy.

Some of the great workhorse laser printers of the past may be available used
at reasonable prices, but beware shipping cost.

Card stock is more prone to jamming than paper, particularly so in an older
printer.

The HP 5000 series are very good printers that have been around for a long
time, so many are available used.  Although I'm not certain of this, I
believe the rollers are user-changeable.  Worn-out rollers cause jams.  If
they have to be changed by a technician that gets expensive.

If you're just printing for your personal use and not producing significant
quantity, go inkjet, but if you're selling or generating lots of music, go
laser.

I hope that helps.
