basic question on bar numbers...

2022-04-05 Thread B~M
I am trying to typeset an orchestral part for a Viola section I play in.
What they want is bar numbers only at the start of each line.

I searched the repository and couldnt find anything, might this mean I
have to manually enter these bar numbers and if so, how is that possible ?
This didn't seem to be a capability with the bar number engraver, so maybe
just a
\markup containing the number manually at each new line ?

Re: an "odd" accidental problem...

2018-07-27 Thread B~M
Dear Thomas, thanks. I was unaware of that override.
It generates exactly what is in the original copy I have.

I am not entirely sure why an E natural could not be used in the setting I
described,
as there, an E natural would be unambiguous about the pitch.
Ive only seen this oddity once. It appeared in the "Fantasy Etudes for
Viola" written by
Lillian Fuchs who was a significant contributor to Viola in the USA.

Thanks for the help and suggestions.

an "odd" accidental problem...

2018-07-27 Thread B~M
I have what I think is an odd problem with accidentals.

The piece I am working on is a Viola etude in E minor.
In the original score the composer needs an E natural and this is achieved
by a concatenated combination of a natural sign and a flat sign.
The note in question is an F, which is sharp in the key signature, so the
natural symbol presumably
cancels the F#  to F and the flat symbol (alongside the natural symbol)
then indicates
F flat or E natural.

Is there please a way to typeset this in Lilypond ?
This is the only time I've seen such notation, so Im guessing its rare ?

manual beaming in compound time signatures

2018-07-23 Thread B~M
dear All, I have been trying to write clean code to
achieve manual beaming in 6/8 time, but my code seems (to me) to be a
grubby hack, there must be a cleaner way.
In one compounded beat of 6/8 time I have 4 semiquavers (or 16th notes)
then in the
remaining time value of 2 semiquavers, I have a triplet. I want the beaming
to show this triplet is a separate, but beamed in group, as is shown in the
PDF.

I used stemLeftBeamCcount and stemRightBeamcount to achieve my aim

Is there a cleaner way to do this ?

Dear All, I have encountered an odd problem (I think) with midi
file generation. The attached file is just one bar of Viola music.
It generates a midi, but the actual viola playing is about 7 seconds, yet
the
midi continues for about 20 seconds ?
Have I missed a command in my *.ly file that terminates the midi at the end

This seems puzzling. For example why is the midi file "white space"

tweaking the colour of fun bar rests...

2017-08-31 Thread B~M
I have a simple problem. In a Viola score I include some piano parts with a
cue voice and, to make it
very clear I colour the piano part in blue. in the cue voice I can change
the colour of "most components of the music"
but not a full bar rest ? For example I do there following in the cue voice

\override Stem #'color = #blue
\override Slur #'color = #blue
\override Tie #'color = #blue
\override Rest #'color = #blue

a rest for a crotchet or quaver etc is fine

Is there a name other than "Rest" to which I must use to change the
colour of a full bar rest ?

a specific note head shape for string players

2017-08-31 Thread B~M
String players sometimes have to put one finger over two strings, but sound
just one.
The finger also stopping an unplayed string is often played later, so this
action is one
of finger preparation. I show this in the attached snippet where I have
used a red note
head to denote the unplayed, but stopped note. Red looks a little vulgar
and loud.
In the Kreutzer 42 Violin studies, this action is indicated with a blank
square, something
like the end marker of a proof in mathematics.
Is there please any way I can change the note heads shown in red to a small
blank square ?

Dear All, here is perhaps a silly little question.
I am trying to get a slur from a crotchet "into" one of the voices in a
polyphonic voicing. In measure 1 the third blue note should have a
slur connecting it to the next blue note, which is in the polyphonic part.
I tried ( ) and \( \) with no success, so something special is perhaps
required ?

Also, to avoid continually inserting \tweak #'color #blue
I wrote a function

BN =
#(define-music-function (parser location)()
   #{
 \tweak #'color #blue
   #})

But this won't work in a chord < \BN > or a part with two voices <<{\BN }
\\  {}>> etc.
Is it possible to use a function for this purpose or must the change of
color
be written out each time ?

On this point, perhaps you can educate me. I've transposed several works

Further, if I take a piece like the Milhaud I posted and I edit it with

Sorry to ask this silly little question. I am writing out SATB harmonies
for a music exam
and Ive decided to colour the bass in blue, just to make it a little more
distinct.
Id like everything about the bass line/voice to be blue, to this end I use

 \override NoteHead.color = #blue
 \override Stem.color = #blue
 \override Accidental.color = #blue
 \override Rest.color = #blue
 \override TextScript.color = #blue


However Ive missed some stuff. If I extend the time duration of a note with
a dot, the dot comes out
as black. Also, if I annotate the note with say a tenuto a-- or an accent
a-^  that stuff comes out black also.
I assume I can change the colour of such stuff but I do not know what its
called.
There must be a \override Something.color = #blue for the annotations Ive
mentioned and the dot duration
extension ?

This is very useful annotation to denote a descending shift from

 Does exist a 'standard' way to specify violin fingering like -2 or
 +2?

 In fretless instruments we use the notation + or - because for each hand
 position (first position, 3rd position etc.) fingers can occupy two
 different position, low or high.

 For instance in first position, finger 2 on first string most often play
 g
 or g#.

repeated _\markup{} at same distance from staff...?

2015-05-07 Thread B~M
Dear ALL, at the risk of great embarrassment, I cannot seem to find what
must be a simple
command to set _\markup{} at a constant offset from the staff, rather than
following the music
up and down etc. I've attached my example which is a simple SATB harmony
showing only the Soprano and
Bass. The chord indications (shown int he first bar only) are the symbols I
want to all be at the same distance from the
staff, not the notes.
There seems to be functions to do this for dynamics to be offset a constant
distance from the staff, but I could
not find a similar command for _\markup (or alternatively ^\markup{}).
Any examples or pointers to the manual ?

Re: repeated _\markup{} at same distance from staff...?

2015-05-07 Thread B~M
thanks indeed Stephen, its a nice idea to lump the chord symbols into one
rather
than do a \markup to all notes. The Vb is just the first inversion of the
chord, the b is not
a flat symbol.
I guess one thing that puzzled me with the \override  TextScript.padding is
why the outcome didn't just add an further offset but with the same result
of the symbols going up and down following the music.
Perhaps \override means not only override the default offset, but turn off
completely the following
of the music ?

 Hey paul

 if the markup is all on one it takes only one staff padding. What i mean
 is each markup is based off of what you attach it to. so a trick I do is
 put them in one markup then all you need to do is center under each with
 halign.

 here is an example
 Also i am not sure why you wanted Vb ... but it does say Exam so...

 %%%

 \paper {

 indent = 0

 top-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #10

 score-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20

 system-system-spacing #'basic-distance = #20

 last-bottom-spacing #'basic-distance = #10

 }

 I = \markup {I}

 IV = \markup {IV}

 V = \markup {V}

 Vb = \markup {V \raise #1 \tiny\flat}

 roman = \markup {\I \halign #-1.5 {\IV} \halign #-1 {\V} \halign #-2.2
 {\Vb}}


 global = {

 \key d \major

 \numericTimeSignature

 \time 4/4

 }


 sopMusic = \relative c'' {

 % measure 1
