Multi Measure Rests in Cadenzas

2023-07-30 Thread Calvin Ransom
I have a cadenza where Staff A rests while Staff B plays and after the cadenza 
Staff A comes back in.
In the below minimal example, there is an extra rest added above the note when 
Staff A comes back in. How do I get rid of this rest? If I use r1 instead of R1 
I don't have this issue (but I need to use R1 as my cadenzas are longer than a 
single measure)

Hello everyone,

I am trying to attach a footnote to the center of a glissando as pictured 
below. Does anyone know how to do this? I have tried following the directions 
for attaching it to a grob (NR 3.3.4)

Here is my snippet:

Altering repeat dot style

2022-03-01 Thread Calvin Ransom
Hello everyone,
Can I have some help making a repeat sign that looks like the image attached?
I figured out how to reduce the height of the bar lines, but I am unable to 
properly change the dots to diamonds. Right now, I have adapted the code from 
LSR 913<https://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=913> by changing the dots.dot glyph 
to noteheads.s2neomensural. The only issue with this is that it changes all of 
the repeat dots throughout the score, and I am looking for a function that 
works like \once \override. I have attached a snippet showing the work I have 
done so far.
If you know a better way to do this, please let me know!

Thank you,

Calvin Ransom

Automatic Clef Change

2022-01-04 Thread Calvin Ransom
Hi everyone,
I want to avoid excessive ledger lines in my score and have LilyPond change the 
clef automatically.
I am creating a computer generated piece with LilyPond that covers the entire 
pitch gamut.
\autochange does not work for this application because it can only use two 
clefs and it uses two staves. I would like to use the treble, bass and the 
octave transposition bass and treble clefs.
Does anyone have a pre-existing function for this or for something similar?

Hi Jean,
I think it sounds like a really good idea.
Would it be possible to have a menu for changing the highlighting settings to

Good luck!

Subject: Re: Feedback wanted: syntax highlighting in the LilyPond documentation

Hello Jean, hello David,

I do like the idea, but I do agree with David to some extent. Syntax
highlighting should emphasize the structure of the file and thus make reading
easier. But if it gets too colorful in terms of contrast of colors the colors
simply distract you.

For example there is no good reason for coloring all numbers some outstanding
way. Frescobaldi does this, but that just creates distracting dots of color in
the code. And numbers tend to be quite discernible, so you do not really need
a special color to mark them.

That being said your color scheme is much better than Frescobaldi’s scheme,
which is appallingly distracting. See the appended file for a comparison of
Frescobaldi and KDE Kate (which is by no means perfect, but at least an
improvement...).

I think your color scheme could be improved easily by doing something like in
the other screenshot (taking the same snippet as David).

Cheers,
Valentin

Do you mean accent? Staccato?

If you want things to stay outside the staff, you need to set their 
outside-staff-priority (which is #f by default):

\override Script.outside-staff-priority = #0
c''8[ ---> a']-.

Hope that helps!

Re: how to not specify midi instrument?

2021-08-28 Thread Calvin Ransom
Hi Tom,

  *   What software are you opening the file in?
  *   What operating system are you using?
  *   What keyboard are you trying to connect to (if you have a digital manual 
that would be very helpful)

You can specify the instrument of the music using 
midiInstrument<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/using-midi-instruments>
 for the standard midi instruments.  Midi Instrument 
List<https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/midi-instruments>
I suspect the issue is not with LilyPond but with your midi driver setup and 
the connection between your computer and your keyboard.

Hopefully helpful Troubleshooter.

Is there a way to get the Lilypond MIDI playback to just use whatever

Not a big deal obviously, but I haven't been able to restrain it, and that

Hi Andrew,
It half-works on what I am trying to do, I am attempting to get the rest
closer to the one above it (I have polyphony)
Your code works but I can't get the rest closer, I believe I have to do
another override but I am unsure as to what.

Thank you!

Explicit placement of rests in a percussion staff

2021-02-26 Thread Calvin Ransom
Good afternoon everyone,
I am trying to move the vertical position of a rest in some percussion
music I am typesetting for my teacher.
I am using v. 2.22.0
In the manual it says 'To explicitly specify a rest’s vertical position,
write a note followed by \rest."
When I use the following snippet it does not work and gives me an error
message:
*start of snippet*
\score{
  \new DrumStaff
\drummode {
  bd4
}
}
%end of snippet%
with this error message:
'error: syntax error, unexpected \rest'

Thanks Robin,

Re: Changing music font for one notehead

2021-02-18 Thread Calvin Ransom
Hi Robert,
The attached jpg. is what I get when I use that exact snippet (minus the
font override) within frescobaldi, notice how there is no notehead.
Can you send me what the output it loads for you?
\version "2.22.0"
\paper {
  #(define fonts
 (set-global-fonts
  #:music "lilyjazz"
  )
 )
}
\score{
  \drummode {
\override NoteHead.style = #'cross
cab1:32\fermata
  }
}
Confused,
Calvin

Changing music font for one notehead

2021-02-17 Thread Calvin Ransom
Hi all,
I am copying a percussion score for my school's Jazz band as a previous
musician lost their part. I was able to use the alternate font "lilyjazz"
However, on the final note of the score it does not support a whole-note
with a cross style notehead.
I am hoping to change the notehead font to  emmentaler but keep the
lilyjazz font on the fermata.
%begin snippet
\paper {
  #(define fonts
 (set-global-fonts
  #:music "lilyjazz"
  )
 )
}
\score{
  \drummode {
\override NoteHead.style = #'cross
\override NoteHead.font-name = "emmentaler" %this is as far as I was
able to get before I reached out for assistance.
cab1:32\fermata
  }
}
%end snippet

I found that with how my files are set up, it works best to set a
ragged-bottom as \bookpart caused some issues with the title placement.
Thanks so much for the help!

headers when using \include

2021-02-04 Thread Calvin Ransom
I am attempting to place two separate scores into one file using \include,
my current issue is that the two scores have different titles and
instruments but currently it is only showing one of the titles and one of
the instrument names, is there a way I can prevent it from doing that?
