magnifyStaff bug?

2016-05-16 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann
I’m trying to typeset a very simple piano and violin arrangement and while 
doing the piano part I wanted to have the violin staff «cue sized» as a 
reference to the pianist. I used \magnifyStaff and while it works wonders, it 
gives me this at the end of each system:

http://i.imgur.com/6UNkJkA.png 

This is weird. Any idea why this happens? Is there perhaps a better way of 
doing this?


\score {
<<
  \new Staff \with {
\magnifyStaff #5/7
instrumentName = #"Violin "
shortInstrumentName = #"Vln. "
  }
  {
<<\melody \violinDynamics \repeatBars>>
  }

  \new PianoStaff  \with {
instrumentName = #"Piano "
shortInstrumentName = #"Pno. "
  }
  <<
\new Staff = "Right" <<\pianoNotesRight \repeatBars>>
\new Dynamics = "Dynamics" \pianoDynamics
\new Staff = "Left" <<\pianoNotesLeft \repeatBars>>

So it is a know issue, that it is all i needed to know. Harm did find something 
in the LSR that probably can help, Carl provided much the same solution. For 
that i am grateful. There is much good to say about the amount of knowledge 
people have on this list! 

I find it strange though why it is not mentioned in the manual 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/setting-the-staff-size> 
that \magnifyStaff causes the lines to «misbehave» that way. But, if it is hard 
coded, as Harm implied, then perhaps there is some convention i dont know 
about. It does not look ugly, just unexpected. As a sidenote, cues sized staffs 
should not require this much mocking about to work.

All that talk about hating to guess and not understanding what «this» is 
unnecessary sour mouth stuff when the problem is very clear. I wanted to know 
from the people that did know \magnifyStaff caused this to reply. Nothing more. 
I have no problem handling people that woke up on the wrong foot. But outbursts 
like that happens all the time and while i understand the need to teach new 
users how this list should function (a simple email when signing onto the list 
should do the trick and save you all from repeating ad infinitum) i won’t stand 
for it for a small thing like this.

While i agree that I could have been stated the problem clearer in text there 
should to be a certain amount of leeway when talking about a subject amongst 
people that study the same subject. The picture is _very_ telling and should 
leave little doubt what the problem was. With that little snippet i wanted to 
give a context to \magnifyStaff so that people could see if there was a simple 
syntax error. No need to post the whole code (which is far to big and making a 
MWE nor helps you nor did not solve the problem) wasting time when it could be 
stated with a simple «aha, just do it like so». And indeed it was: 
\magnifyStaff behaves oddly and it is know. 

Seeing that the manual is far from complete, at least not capable teaching 
non-scheme wizards anything but the simplest stuff, this list is the only place 
to get a working knowledge of Lilypond. While «losing» me hardly matters  (at 
least till i cool off in a couple of months) i cannot say i will advertise the 
use of Lilypond at its current state. Which is a pity since i’m a high school 
music teacher that desperately _wants_ this to be an option for myself and my 
students. One day it might be. 

So long, and thanks for all the fish.

Re: MagnifyStaff Bug?

2016-05-15 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann
Those lines at the end of the system should be perfect in line with the 
ends of the staff, should they not? I have not seen it in print before, 
have anybody else?
PS. After that speech about not giving a compatible example -which is not 
at all relevant in regard to this question, it is a simple see and confirm 
my suspicions or not- I think it is quite a arrogant way to address the 
problem. More and more of the way communication traverses on this list 
leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and it is a shame.

Anyway, \magnifyStaff _does_ affect the BarLine. Because it's
explicitely coded, I think it's intended.
Maybe
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=862
is more what you want.

Thank you for the quick reply. 

If it is only entered in the top staff will it reflect when printing parts 
(which is another issue giving me gray hair)? 
If using spacers, how to i enter alternatives (repeats/houses) in my voices?

When working with large projects (or small for that matter) like an orchestral 
piece, how do one best handle system wide objects like repeats, rehersal marks, 
tempi etc? It is tedious entering every thing in every voice, not to mention

One idea i have is to make a silent voice and embed (not sure of the

nor how to execute it.

Hi again,

I try to do this dymanic acrobatic: 

"sfz > pp <"


In my mind i figured that nothing can come from nothing, so i tried the 
following:

  <<

{s4\sfz\> s4\pp\<}

But this produces only the top voice with the stem the wrong way (of course). 
Any ideas?

Handling large projects is fun but good documentation regarding this is hard to

Since this is a rather large project i use git to track my learning curve. 
Source files: 
https://github.com/chbuschmann/Nordlandsk.git 
<https://github.com/chbuschmann/Nordlandsk.git>


%%I've circled and numbered things in my lilypond output that i need help with.
1) The title. Is there a sensibale way to adjust font/fontsize and placement of 
the title? (this is most likely an easy thing, but it would be nice to hear how 
you guys deal with it)

2) This is the wierdest thing. Double up of time, clef and tempo, what is on 
earth have i done wrong? 

3) I want the beams to and from rests, with stemlets, like so: 
http://i.imgur.com/62wXphp.png <http://i.imgur.com/62wXphp.png> 

4) I want the beams to stretch 4 8ths and break if necessary. My puny attempt 
thus far looks bonkers. 

5) I tried making a scordatura using a snippet from LRS. Perhaps my eyes are 
playing tricks with me, the font size seems off, to large?

%%General questions
6) I also wonder about parts creation. How do i set it up? 

7) When i did the Sibelius engraving, i came to the conclution that A3 was the 
proper page format. Once i've entered my music, will lilypond scale the score 
to fill the entire page, like it does with A4, OR; do i need to make 
adjustments to font and/or staff sizes?

8) I've searched far and wide but have not found a way to make large/huge time 
signatures. This is what i really want (from Adler): 
http://i.imgur.com/Jn971jP.png <http://i.imgur.com/Jn971jP.png> 

9) Where to i place system wide events, like repetitions, time and tempo? In a 
single voice, all the voices or something else? As of now i use the top 
instrument as a "global master", but my gut keeps telling me there has to be a 
better way. 


Thank you for your time.

Things are comming along. What i find is that some fonts simply does not work

I feel it is a bit cramped and the breaks do not flow naturally. In the source

I see how that might have been misunderstood, but please belive it was with the 
best of intentions, no disrespect to the guys keeping the fire going. If i 
could code this i would!

The way lilypond treats chords right now are lacking for anything but basic 
chords, this much we are agreed apon. The "real book" convention is a very good 
place to start. Let us not be so childish that we abandon that quest in a hay 
fire of name calling.

While i agree on this way of thinking *practically* makes a lot of sense. But 
you are talking about changing a whole culture of thinking. To sum up: Stacked 
chords are useful for in some musical settings but it is not the future as of 
yet as they do not display function.

Although the ever singing chorus here on lilypond-user is that there is no 
agreed apon conventions in chords, i disagree both as a musician and a scholar. 
The way to notate jazz/pop chords are established thoroughly through the "real 
book" series and others. 

Kieren is thankfully working on this and i hope the brains that code for 
lilypond can bash heads together and at least give us a *working* solution and 
stop bickering over personal preferences that only hinder the development.

I'm not talking about code, i'm talking about style. And by the looks of it 
Sibelius at least have by and large been inspired by B&R. But as you said, 
predefined is not the way to go. Even so, look at what they have done and 
simply mimick the behaviour. "Great artists steal".

There is however much to be done before chords in Lilypond are mature enough to 
use for jazz chord notation. I'm crossing my fingers that a lilypond-programmer 
reads this and takes pity on us who needs this for our work.

Re: Lilypond and Jazz chords

2016-01-17 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann
Thank you.

This is indeed a good start! However. How to adjust the lenght of the 
parenthesis? As of now they only encapsule 1/3 of the stack. I havent the 
foggiest on how to make them "flexible".

Re: Lilypond and Jazz chords

A properly formatet complex chord stacks alterations in parenthesis. Lilyponds 
default is:

\version "2.19.35"

\header {
  tagline = ""
}

ChordNames = \chordmode {
  \set majorSevenSymbol = \markup { maj7 }
  d:maj7.5+.9-.11+
}

upper = \relative c'{
  \clef G
  < d fis ais cis ees gis >1
}

lower = \relative c {
  \clef F
  d1
}

\layout {
  \context {
\ChordNames
\override ChordName.font-family = #'roman
\override ChordName.font-size = #0
  }
}

This is undesirable.

Harm,

This is the original thread (sorry about that one, really thought answering the 
original thread brought up the history):

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2009-07/msg00274.html 

Here is a imgur link to the image I referenced (Also, chill. I'm only asking 
for help. We are not mind readers, hard to know what you prefer or not.)

http://i.imgur.com/crR5239.png

I have googled my ass off on how to get "jazz chords" properly formated. The 
lilypond manual 
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/chord-mode#extended-and-altered-chords>
 isn't exactly being straight about the matter. I do know it *should* be 
possible and i'm humbly asking for a hint at formating as shown in the picture 
i linked/sendt. It is hard procuring a minimal example when all i can do is 
produce a c:7.

Good suggestion. This of course works fine but it means manual labor and

I tried -dpreview but could not get it to work. Help a poor noob, please.

When making snippets I dont need the entire A4 paper, i just need the music. 
The bounding box is the area exported, or cropped if you like. In Sibelius i

Instrument names and smallest possible bounding box

2016-01-17 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann

1) Instrument names. 

The default placement of instrument names seems a bit messy compared to my 
default Sibelius output:



Lilypond:

They seem "off", not alligned properly. This is of course the fault of the 
author. Most likely there is a easy fix. Suggestions?

2) I need to export pngs for my latex documents and i would like the bounding 
box to be as small as possible. How do i do this?

Markup breaking score, stemlets not behaving, double barlines not showing.

2016-01-15 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann
I'm working on a lead sheet but being a novice i'm hitting my head against the wall at some noob problems. Bar 1) Stemlets. Do it have to be this hard creating them? Is there a way to make it global? Also, i want the stemlet to reach down towards the rest. How?How do i make custom rehersal marks?When using \markup { ... } the whole score looses it layout and to add insult it does not display any text.

How to reproduce this?

2016-01-07 Thread Carl-Henrik Buschmann
Hi,

I'm a Lilypond newbie switching over from Sibelius. As part of my self tutoring 
I have tried my hand at reproducing a example (written in Sib) i used in my 
thesis:

http://i.imgur.com/SboviWR.png

I'm a bit stuck and i hope you guys can give me a nudge. 
This is my feeble attempt:

\version "2.18.2"
\language "german"

<<
\chords { 
  f2 gis4 dis b 
}

\relative c'' {
  \tuplet 3/2 { c8 c c }
  \tuplet 3/2 { c c c }
  \tuplet 3/2 { dis dis dis }
  \tuplet 3/2 { dis dis dis } | %m1
  fis4
}

\\
\relative c' {
  < f a c >2 < gis bis dis >4 < fisis ais dis > | %m1
  < fis b dis >4
}
\addlyrics { 
  V2 bVII III/IV I 
}
>>

Product:
http://i.imgur.com/Ot3HNE2.png

I have many problems:

1) The chords are at the bottom.
2) The chords have the wrong font.
3) I have NO idea how to properly write roman numeral analysis, lyrics is not 
the way to go it seems.
4) The dottet phrasing line.
5) The 1. and 2. voice crash. 

Help?

Buschmann
