Re: Using a variable with \relative
Apoligies about the nbsp's, not sure if it was Safari or gmail that
put those in there.
Is there a way to access the pitch variable and put that where I have
the \x so something like (and sorry about the javascript-y syntax) but
something like
x.pitch (but in scheme syntax of course)
so
\relative #( x.pitch #) {.} or however it would look.
I am tying to generate a bunch of exercise files of which there will
be hundreds (and potentially thousands) of groups of notes and I want
them arranged a certain way. And the note that I want the groups to be
relative to changes based on the note that starts the group, and there
are far too many to put the specific relative note in by hand. So I
was hoping for a way to pass the entire group of notes into a function
and use whatever note starts that group as the \relative note by way
of a variable.
There are probably other ways to skin this cat, and I may just have to
change the way I generate the notes, but if I can access the pitch
value and make \relative see it somehow, that might work.
Thanks for the help!

Is there a way to do something similar to this:
\include english.ly
x = { c }
y = { g }
\score {
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\relative \x { d e f g a }
\relative \y { bf a c d }
}
}
No (and please don't use unbreakable space in examples, since it makes
copy and paste impossible).
Pitches can't be placed into identifiers.
Perhaps I need to write a function that sends in a variable?
Music functions return music expressions. The newfangled scheme
functions (did I commit them already?) don't support ly:export (that
would have been real hard to do), and anyway, ly:export only works for
things that can be put into an identifier.
You can't expect \relative \x to work, but you could make \x { ... }
work in itself for making things relative to something. And
\relative is a noop for unrelativable music.
How does one dereference a variable inside of a function?
For instance if I sent in \x how do I say use the value of x? Or is
that necessary?
I have no idea what you are talking about.
This doesn't seem to work either
MyTestFunction =
#(define-music-function
?? ? (parser location firstnote secondnote thirdnote fourthnote
fifthnote sixthnote )
?? ? ( ly:music? ly:music? ly:music? ly:music? ly:music? ?ly:music? )
?? #{ ? ?
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?\relative $firstnote { $firstnote ? ?$secondnote ? ?
$thirdnote ?}
?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?\relative $sixthnote { $fourthnote ?$fifthnote
$sixthnote }
?? #})
\relative takes a _pitch_ argument, not a music argument. What problem
are you actually trying to solve?
I don't see that this makes much sense.

Extra white space for Chordnames
I would like to increase the amount of whitespace between the chordnames and
the staff below them, but am having no success. I have tried some variation
of all of the following with no results.
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( 4 . 4) (with
negative and positive values)
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'( 10 . -10)
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN (also tried up)
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'padding = #20
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 10))
\score{
\new ChordNames {
% \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 10))
\chordmode { c2 f c f }
}
\new Staff {
%%\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'( 4 . 4)
%%\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'( 10 . -10)
% \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-affinity = #DOWN
% \override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing #'padding =
#20
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 10))
\relative c'{ c4 d f a c4 d f a}
}
}
What the heck is the magic command to add some space? Am I putting in the
wrong place?

Compile your .ly from BBEdit with this AppleScript
I use BBedit, the great text editor for MacOS, for all of my editing of .ly files since it gives me things like grep, search and replace over a selection, keyboard shortcuts, and many many other features that make text editing more efficient. Highly recommended. However, I grew tired of switching back and forth between Lilypond and BBedit to compile output, so I created this small script that lets you assign it a hot key and will compile the front most window using Lilypond from within BBedit. This script will work with any application that lets you get the name and location of the front most window, but you will need to change that to match the program you are using yourself. You also will need to add where your copy of Lilypond is (mine is in the applications folder) and this script currently puts the output .pdf file on the Desktop, where Preview then opens it. To use this script: 1) Copy the text below 2) Paste into Script Editor 3) Change the path to your copy of Lilypond 4) Modify the output destination to another folder if you don't want it on the desktop. 5) Place the script in BBedits Scripts folder 6) Edit your file in BBedit and when you want to see the output, select the script I assigned this script a keyboard command (shift-control-R) so I edit, hit that command, and in a few seconds, my output appears in Preview. Lilypond does not even launch (the UI anyway). However, I still need to launch Lilypond with the file sometimes, since it offers better error reporting. Usually only at the beginning of a project, just to get the errors are ironed out. I am trying to figure out how to get the console output of Lilypond back into BBedit, so any errors appear there and that will eliminate the need to have to launch the Lilyond app. ## set TheOutputPath to the POSIX path of (path to desktop) set ThelilyPath to POSIX path of /Volumes/HD01/Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond -o tell application BBEdit copy file of window 1 to TheFile copy name of window 1 to TheFilename end tell set TheUnixPath to the POSIX path of TheFile set FinalPath to quoted form of the POSIX path of (TheOutputPath TheFilename) set TheCommand to ThelilyPath FinalPath quoted form of the POSIX path of TheUnixPath try do shell script TheCommand end try set TheOutputFile to TheOutputPath TheFilename .pdf try do shell script open quoted form of the POSIX path of TheOutputFile end try ### -- Daniel ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Arpeggios from chordmode?
HA!!
Yes! That is very close indeed.
Now I can enter in chord changes, and with just a very simple search/replace
make an arpeggio sheet for them.
See enclosed file for example (requires Giles code below as an \include)
To get the chord changes and the arps, I just double the chord progression
with a longer duration. It still is less typing than what I was doing.
And can I just say, this list is *always* helpful. I wish some software that
I have paid for had people as responsive as this list has. Every time I have
asked a question it has been answered!
Thank you Giles!
Daniel

Is there as simple way to get chord mode to return:
c4 e g
instead of
c e g4
Is something like that what you wanted ?

#(define (chords-list-seq-list lst)
(receive (notes others)
(partition (lambda(x) (ly:duration? (ly:music-property x

lst)
(map (lambda(x)
(let ((elts (list x)))
(if (pair? others)(begin
(set! elts (append elts others))
(set! others '(
(make-music 'EventChord 'elements elts)))
notes)))
chordsToSeq = #(define-music-function (parser location music)(ly:music?)
(music-map
(lambda (x)
(if (eq? 'EventChord (ly:music-property x 'name))
(make-music 'SequentialMusic 'elements
(chords-list-seq-list (ly:music-property x 'elements)))
x))
music))
music = \chordmode {d4:min7\f g:7 c:maj7}
\new Voice \chordsToSeq \music

Arpeggios from chordmode?
Hello all, I am trying to generate some exercise files and I realized all I need is a way to make chordmode render those chord names as arpeggios, instead of vertical chords. Not in the classical notation, in otherwords, not the kind showing the playing of notes simultaneously with the arpeggio symbol, but returning the notes without them being grouped vertically and simultaneous. Is there as simple way to get chord mode to return: c4 e g instead of c e g4 I realize that this feature is called chordmode for a reason :) But this ability to get back the arpeggios of a chord progression would be exceedingly helpful for improvisational charts. Then one could enter in harmonies = d:min7 g7 c:maj7 and get back d4 f a c g b d f c e g b I am not brave enough to modify any built in .ly files that Lilypond depends on..(yet). Just checking to see if anyone else has already solved this one yet! Thanks for any help.
