Chord tremolos
In the following example, why do the unfolded repeats fit into the first two
bars, but I get "barcheck failed" errors for the third and fourth bars with
tremolo repeats? (18+6)*2 / 32 = 12/8 ?
\version "1.7.30"
\score
{
\context Voice \notes \relative c {
\time 12/8
\repeat "unfold" 18 { c'32 f32 } \repeat "unfold" 6 { b32 e32 } |
\repeat "unfold" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "unfold" 6 { b32 e32 } |
\repeat "tremolo" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "tremolo" 6 { b32 e32 } |
\repeat "tremolo" 18 { c,32 f32 } \repeat "tremolo" 6 { b32 e32 } |
}
}

A "voice" is considered as an independent line of music played by one instrument. If you want the instrument to change on the second of two tied notes, then that should be considered as a separate voice. If you don't want the instrument to change, then you are logically remaining in the same voice. If you really want to typeset notes in different voices as tied, for example to give the effect of a seamless transition between voices, you might be able to fake it by duplicating the same note in each voice, and making the note head and stem invisible in one of the voices.

Cygwin dll oddness
I'm trying to install the latest Cygwin binary (1.7.29-11) from one of the official Cygwin mirrors. After installing, running lilypond --help (or --anything) fails with a dialog error box with the following message. "The procedure entry point __getreent could not be located in the dynamic link library cygwin1.dll" I've tried hosing my entire Cygwin directory and reinstalling from scratch, but still get this message. Anyone know what this is a symptom of? Also tried installing from the lilypond.org mirror, but same problem. Incidentally, downloading the package index from the lilypond.org mirror gives another error box, containing (null) line 25: syntax error, unexpected STRING, expecting NL (null) line 25: unrecognised line 25 (do you have the latest setup) -- chris ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Lance, Are you working through the instructions on http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/windows/out-www/installing.html If so, it might be more helpful if you let us know exactly where you've got stuck. I guess somewhere in the "Testing Lilypond" section? You'll have to get used to working with the command-line I'm afraid! The basic process is - create your score file using a text editor, like Notepad. - go to the command-line, navigate to the directory where you saved the score file. Run the ly2dvi command to make the output file. - have a look at the output, using a Postscript or PDF file reader. But I appreciate that there's many hitches for newbies in these three fundamental steps! > Surely there must be an easier step by step approach to the setting > up of this program.

Can somebody get me started. As I understand it, the website is in the process of being rewritten, and will be released with the imminent next version of lilypond. This is likely to be more friendly to newbies who are getting started on Windows. Bear in mind that the developers are almost all Linux users. Stick with it - it's a great program - your experiences might help produce better documentation! As another pianist and composer I can confirm that the learning curve is worth it. -- Chris ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
unbeamed quavers
I want to use manual beaming to indicate that quavers are beamed by default,
but occasionally some quavers are non-beamed, like so.
\version "1.7.21"
\score {
<
\notes \relative c'' {a8 b c b [a] [b] [c d]}
>
\paper { }
}
But this produces ugly warnings about the beam having less than two stems.
Are these warnings necessary, or are [ ] not supposed to be used like that,
or should I be setting the automatic beaming properties instead?

That's because it's not a text spanner - it's a text script. You could
use the
extra-offset property to fiddle the horizontal position - the following
produces
an approximately centered (p) for me:
\score {
\context Staff {
\notes \relative c' {
\property Voice.TextScript \override #'extra-offset = #'(-0.7 . 0)
c1_#'(columns (large "(") (dynamic "p") (large ")"))

To create a text spanner see Expressive marks->Text spanners in the manual.

Alexandre Aractingi wrote: ... actually I can't get past the ./configure stage... I am using a Mandrake 9.0 Linux distribution, and I have tetex, python and libpython-devel installed (from Mandrake packages). I downloaded Lilypond 1.6.6, but ./configure says : ERROR: Please install required programs: python.h (python-devel, python-dev or libpython-dev package) Did you remember to remove config.cache before rerunning ./configure? Now if I try to do the same with 1.7.4, everything is ok regarding Python, but it says I need guile-config 1.6, which I only have in version 1.4. So what do you think, do I really have to install guile 1.6 to get the thing compiled, or does somebody know a quick workaround to make 1.6.6 compile properly? Should be no problems with building 1.6 from source and putting it in /usr/local. However as you're running Mandrake 9.0, even after you've got configure to run, you might run into problems doing the compile. This distro has a buggy version of flex which generates code which is not recognised by gcc 3.2.

Re: How to lengthen the arpeggio...

You might be able to do something like this, which adds invisible notes
that are spanned by the arpeggio:
blanknotes = { \property Thread.NoteHead \override #'transparent = ##t
\property Thread.Stem \override #'transparent = ##t }
\score {
\notes \relative c' \context Voice {

}
}
The stem length also needs shortening here, but you get the general idea.

It doesn't seem to be possible to attach articulations to multi-measure

Is this by design? Although it is possible to work around this by using

Currently it is possible to use \arpeggio to draw a bracket to group
together the set of note heads in a chord - see the Piano
Music->Arpeggio section of the development version reference manual.
(CC'd to lilypond-devel...)
If you apply the patch below to the latest CVS version of lilypond,
then you'll be able to extend the bottom of the bracket to embrace the
stems as well. This is done by modifying the 'shorten-pair' property
of these fake arpeggios. Then you can achieve the above using
something like...
\score {
\notes \relative c'' {
\property Staff.Arpeggio \override #'molecule-callback = \arpeggioBracket
\property Staff.Arpeggio \override #'shorten-pair = #'(0.0 . -3.0)
[ e16 \arpeggio e e
\property Staff.Arpeggio \override #'direction = #1
e \arpeggio ]
}
}

Sometimes when there are multiple voices, the stems of the two chords aren't exactly aligned vertically, because head collisions force one of the chords to be shifted sideways. So I might have to find out how to add bits of extra horizontal space, or force them to be aligned vertically some other way. -- chris ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
