Vertical edges on TextSpanners?

[Daniel Johnson]

I was recently typesetting a Gershwin song with a very short (2-note) ottava
bracket, which needed the octavation text 8va bassa ad lib. This text is too
long for the bracket, so I considered reducing text size and using column
markup; but the Staff.octavation property takes text, not markup, and it doesn't
support font-size.  Then I tried using a TextSpanner, but was unsuccessful in
getting the vertical edge at the end of the spanner.  It seems that these
vertical edges are only supported for grobs that support the
horizontal-bracket-interface.

This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way of forcing the
TextSpanner to implement the horizontal-bracket-interface?  I'm sure this would
involve overriding the stencil, which would be a daunting (if even possible)
task.  Anyone have any ideas?

Re: Easy Note Heads and colors

[Daniel Johnson]

 Unfortunately I couldn't find any more info about brew-ez-stencil --
 even grepping the source didn't turn up anything useful.  (?!)

Try looking at brew_ez_stencil in lily/easy-notation.cc.  The relevant
block is as follows:

  SCM idx = scm_from_int (pit-get_notename ());
  SCM names = me-get_property (note-names);
  SCM charstr = SCM_EOL;
  if (scm_is_vector (names))
charstr = scm_vector_ref (names, idx);
  else
{
  char s[2] = a;
  s[0] = (pit-get_notename () + 2) % 7 + 'a';
  s[0] = toupper (s[0]);
  charstr = scm_makfrom0str (s);
}

If you \override NoteHead #note-names with a vector of note names, that
should take care of the problem.  NOTE: I am neither a C++ nor Scheme
programmer, and I haven't tested the above.

Re: Lyrics and centering

I think you might be mistaken regarding the traditional engraving

Another help in reading a melisma is the proper alignment of the

The word or syllable, instead of being centered under the note,
should be aligned flush left with the left edge of the notehead.
There are circumstances where that is problematic, though. Let's say I 
have a SATB score in four staves, in which all four voices are singing 
the same lyrics, but the sopranos are singing a melisma while the basses 
are holding a whole note.  Ideally the lyrics would line up vertically, 
but in practice the bass lyrics will be slightly to the left of the 
soprano.  The solution to this is to \set associatedVoice, but this can 
be very clunky, especially since this \set has to occur at least one 
syllable before it is supposed to take effect.  (At least I think so -- 
anytime I use this solution it involves about 30 minutes of trial and 
error.)


I can't think of an easily-implemented solution to this, though, other 
than a bunch of manual tweaks.  While Finale lines them up evenly, it 
does so at the expense of the traditional engraving convention you've 
mentioned above.  This is part of the reason why Finale scores have a

BTW, the sequence of shapes for the Sacred Harp four-shape system is still

But it *should* go (fa #f la fa #f la mi). That's the Sacred Harp system.
What lilypond has goes sol sol mi sol fa la sol. Very funny scale, that.

I compile Lilypond instead of using GUB, and I apply the attached patch

considerably wider than 2.8.  It would be nice if the width of the 
shaped heads could be tuned within a .ly file, but right now I don't 
have any disposable cash to make that happen.


Both 4-shape and 8-shape scales have noteheads exactly as wide as the 
round noteheads in all published sources I can find.  I can send scans 
if you like.  An online example can be found here:

Setting up vocal scores with uniformly-spaced staves

[Daniel Johnson]

Hello all --

I set a lot of SATB choral music, and I strive to have all my 
ChoirStaffs have the same distance from the text.  This can be a 
challenge when the alto part goes low or the tenor part goes high.  I 
used to set each Staff's minimum-Y-extent to ##f and Y-extent to a 
number-pair, and this served me well for a long time.  Now, however, the 
stem-lengths of beamed notes are sometimes miscalculated if Y-extent is 
absolutely set (this happened partway through the 2.7 development 
cycle).  I've figured out an alternate method to do this and it works 
quite nicely.  Just add the following to your layout block:


\layout {
   \context {
   \ChoirStaff
   \consists Vertical_align_engraver
   \accepts Lyrics
   forced-distance = #3
   }
}

There are a few snags you might run into with this method.  For 
instance, if you define Lyrics above the top staff or below the bottom 
one, they will be spaced excessively far from the staff if the Lyrics 
context is contained within the ChoirStaff context.  You'll need to pull 
these outside the ChoirStaff in order to space them independently.


It took me quite a while to figure out how to do this, so I figured I'd 
save someone else the time and trouble by posting it here.

You can see what the required code is here; you can also see a bug

http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-lilypond%40gnu.org/msg07067.html

In short, you need to set minimum-Y-extent to false, and then set 
Y-extent to an absolute value instead.  But you may encounter 
stem-length errors on beamed notes.  As far as I can tell, this problem 
has not yet been addressed, even in CVS.  The bug was introduced when 
the VerticalAxisGroup interface was added to the Staff context about 
midway through the 2.7 development cycle.

Jacob Cooper wrote:

One hangup for me is lilypond's handling of lyrics. I don't care as much how
they're entered as how they're output. Right now, it looks like syllables are
aligned so that the left edge of the longest syllable (in polyphonic choral
music) is aligned with the center of the note it's matched with, and in every
other part, the syllables are center aligned with that one long syllable. The
result is that shorter syllables are placed quite a distance from their
corresponding note. The way it should look (see Barenreuter's Passion scores,
for instance) is that all syllables are centered on the centerline of the
noteheads, and the noteheads adjusted accordingly. One should be able to draw a
single vertical line that would neatly bisect every note and every syllable at a
given beat. Syllables should not extend to the left of a barline; rather, the
notes should adjust to the right.
  
One thing to consider is that when Lilypond is setting a lyric to a 
single note, it center-aligns the lyric to the note; but when setting a 
lyric to a melisma, the lyric is left-aligned with the first note of the 
melisma.


When all voices are singing the same lyrics at the same time, I have 
gotten around this by associating each lyrics context with the same 
voice (usually the topmost one).  When the lyrics diverge, try using 
\set associatedVoice to the actual voice instead.  This trick is also 
useful for matching up extender lines, when one voice, for example, has 
a whole note and another has a melisma of four quarters.

Re: Upgrading from 2.6 to 2.8

[Daniel Johnson]

Here's how to get Lilypond 2.8.1 installed from source in Gentoo... it 
isn't hard.  This includes installing a patched version of Ghostscript 
8.53 (which under Gentoo supports the hl1250 printer driver in addition 
to the standard drivers).


1. make sure PORTDIR_OVERLAY is declared in /etc/make.conf (point it to 
/usr/local/portage)

2. echo media-sound/lilypond ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords
3. echo app-text/ghostscript-afpl ~x86  /etc/portage/package.keywords
4. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/media-sound/lilypond; cd 
/usr/local/portage/media-sound/lilypond
5. cp /usr/portage/media-sound/lilypond/lilypond-2.8.0-r1.ebuild 
./lilypond-2.8.1.ebuild

6. ebuild lilypond-2.8.1.ebuild digest
7. mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl/files
8. cp /usr/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl/files/*.{patch,mak,diff} 
/usr/local/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl/files
9. copy ghostscript-8.53-global-glyph-names.patch (attached to this 
email) to /usr/local/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl/files
   (this patch prevents ghostscript from creating PDF's that are about 
ten times too large)

10. cd /usr/local/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl
11. copy ghostscript-afpl-8.53-r5.ebuild (attached to this email) to 
/usr/local/portage/app-text/ghostscript-afpl

12. ebuild ghostscript-afpl-8.53-r5.ebuild digest
13. if you have ghostscript-esp or ghostscript-gnu installed, uninstall 
them (e.g. emerge -C ghostscript-esp)*

13. emerge --oneshot --ask --verbose =app-text/ghostscript-afpl-8.53-r5
14. emerge --ask --verbose =media-sound/lilypond-2.8.1

If you want to use the 2.9 branch, do the same as above, but using a 
different-version filename for the lilypond ebuild. Also, in your 
Portage overlay, you'll want to copy the guile-1.6.7 ebuild from 
/usr/portage/dev-util/guile to guile-1.8.0 in your $PORTDIR_OVERLAY, 
comment out all the patches in the ebuild, do ebuild guile-1.8.0.ebuild 
digest, and then emerge guile.  There is currently a Gentoo bugzilla 
request for an official guile-1.8.0 ebuild.


The advantage of this system is that you know exactly what software is 
being invoked, since there is only one copy of python, guile, 
ghostscript, etc. on your system.  This makes troubleshooting easier.  
The disadvantage is that you are re-doing what the developers already 
spent plenty of time doing.


--Daniel

P.S. Pango 1.12.x is currently hard-masked in Portage.  If you are not 
running a Gnome system and are willing to do a bit of dirty work, you 
can unmask it and install it (and a host of supporting libraries).  It 
will give you the benefit of being able to take advantage of OpenType 
support for ligatures.


* If you think you may need to revert your ghostscript install, you may 
want to create a binary package before unmerging.  If you have 
gentoolkit installed, you can do the following:

   quickpkg ghostscript-esp
Then if you need to re-emerge that same verion, you can do
   emerge --usepkg ghostscript-esp
and you can thereby skip the compile step.

Hello, all.

I post this with the hopes that it will prove helpful to someone.

I run on a Gentoo Linux system (thanks to whoever picked up the 
maintenance for the lilypond ebuild! When will I see 2.8.1, btw?) and 
ran into a simple issue that took a while to work out.


Back in the 2.6/2.7 days, I had used the package installer for 
lilypond (the Gentoo ebuild only handled 2.7 and I wasn't ready for that).


When it was time to move to 2.8, I did package remove lilypond which 
worked fine.  I then tried both emerging of 2.8.0 and using the 
install script for 2.8.1.  Both worked fine until I tried a simple 
lilypond myfile.ly.  This produced an error when converting from ps 
to pdf.  The command being used was gs-nox and it was producing a 
strange error about init.ps or something like that having a version 
mismatch.


To make a long story short, I needed to do package remove 
ghostscript (I already had an appropriate version emerged using 
Gentoo's stuff) before my problem cleared up.  Installing lilypond 2.6 
with the package installer also installed a version of ghostscript 
(which turned out not to be compatable with 2.8) along with it and 
removing lilypond dit not remove ghostscript.  I need to check if 
guile also has the same issue...


So, if you are on Linux and move from 2.6 to 2.8, make sure your 
ghostscript (and probably guile) installation is up-to-date.

RehearsalMark break-visibility

[Daniel Johnson]

I've been trying to get a rehearsal mark to show up at the end of a 
staff.  (The object is eventually to use markup such as a fermata 
here.)  Here's a stripped-down example:


% begin lilypond code %
\version 2.8.1
eolMark = {
   \once\override RehearsalMark #'break-visibility = #end-of-line-visible
   \mark\default
   \break
}
\relative c' {
   c d e f g a b c \eolMark
   c b a g f e d c
}
% end lilypond code %

In this example, though, the rehearsal mark shows up at the beginning of 
the second line rather than the end of the first.  Any ideas?

Yes, read the manual, 8.1.3 Text marks:

I don't know why end-of-line-visible doesn't work, but since it isn't 
mentioned in the manual, I don't think it's a serious problem.

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/item_002dinterface.html
end-of-line-visible is mentioned here.

None of the break-visibility properties had any effect as long as I was 
doing

   \override RehearsalMark
but they all had an effect (including end-of-line-visible) when I 
specified the following:

   \override Score.RehearsalMark

In hindsight, this is semi-obvious, since before I was inside either the 
Staff or Voice context.

In my experience, this rest looks like a backward eighth-rest;
occasionally one sees it with both an upper and lower flag, hence the

since Lilypond specializes in obsolete notation :-) perhaps it belongs

 The volta will include exactly as many notes as you include in the

You can use midi2ly to convert a (quantized) midi file to Lilypond, but 
you're guaranteed to have to make many many tweaks on the Lilypond end 
to get it to display acceptably.  If you are converting existing 
Sibelius files to Lilypond, though, this will probably save you quite a 
bit of time.


For Finale users, you can use etf2ly to convert Finale's ETF export 
format to lilypond.  There are similar converters for ABC (abc2ly) and 
MUP (mup2ly).  I don't know of any Sibelius converters.  These will 
convert more of the music information than midi2ly, but you will 
certainly need to do lots of work on the Lilypond file in order to get 
it to look OK.


Additionally, there have been a number of issues reported with running 
these programs under Windows (they require installation and extra 
configuration of a Python environment).  They work fairly well on Linux, 
though.


I keep a Windows box with an installation of an old version of Finale to 
use when I am working on an especially complex piece.  Then I export as 
ETF, copy to my Linux box and run etf2ly.  That saves me some time, but 
I still spend 50% of the total time reworking the Lilypond file.

Displaying the first bar number

Dear list,

Because I am typesetting a fragment of a larger work, I would like to
display the bar number on the first line.  By default Lilypond does not
do so, but begins displaying it on line 2.  In ly/engraver-init.ly, we
encounter the following line:
barNumberVisibility = #default-bar-number-visibility
and in scm/output-lib.scm we see this:
(define-public (default-bar-number-visibility barnum) ( barnum 1))
So, it seemed like I should be able to do the following:
\set Score.barNumberVisibility = ##t
but this has no effect.  I also tried this:
#(define-public (default-bar-number-visibility barnum) (#t))
but, as expected, it didn't work either.

If anyone can shed light on this, I'll gladly write up a blurb on it for
inclusion in the manual.  (I searched and didn't find anything there, so
please forgive if it's there and I missed it.)  I am using version 2.6.3

You can look at the tipstricks, grep for barNumberVisibility.

Hmm. Everything I see there (bar-number-every-five-reset and
bar-number-regular-interval) has to do with setting the printing of bar
numbers every n bars, which is not really what I want.  I want the bar
number to appear at the start of the first staff, as it does for all
subsequent staves.  Even doing this:
\set Score.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 1)
puts the bar number on every bar *except* the first.

I'm starting to believe that barNumberVisibility is a red herring here,
and that deeper wizardry is required.  I'm trying to find my way around
the source code now, but any hints would be welcome.  I'm looking at

Re: Accidental placement above/below note

 As I am just an amateur regarding music notation I have a question
 concening the attached piece of music.
 The natural shown below the last note, is that meant as a natural

 know you can of course do this by adding a markup, but I was wondering
 if this could be done using some kind of property of accidentals or
 accidentalplacement. I also think that the accidental is somewhat
 smaller than the normal accidental.

 TIA,

This type of suggested accidental is usually found in edited editions
of 18th-century or earlier works; the original score did not contain an
accidental, but it is presumed that the performers of those days knew to
perform it as a sharp/flat/whatever.  Therefore editors who want to
indicate their best-guess of performance often use this sort of accidental.

It is also sometimes used in other modern scores when there are many
notes in close physical proximity.  For example, in the published
version of Ralph Vaughan Williams' In Windsor Forest (movement 3,
Falstaff and the Fairies), the engraver has used a flat over a note in
a soprano-solo melisma of sixteenth-triplets, purely as a matter of
notational convenience.

Two things I recently found out about SVG:

1. Since every implementation of an SVG renderer is different, since the

Lilypond SVG output will not render correctly in any SVG renderer.  In 
Inkscape, it will just overlap all the pages on a single page.  Han-Wen

SVG backend - resulting files invalid?

[Daniel Johnson]

Hi all --

I have both Lilypond 2.6.3 and 2.7.7 installed.  I've been trying to 
generate SVG files (using both versions) using the following invocation:


lilypond --backend=svg --formats=svg my_file_name.ly

my_file_name.ly is a multiple-page valid Lilypond file which worked 
great using the PDF backend.  I tried opening the resulting 
my_file_name.svg in various apps, with the following results:


- Inkscape, Karbon14 and KWord just draw an empty page. (Inkscape 
0.42.2, KOffice 1.4.1)

- Firefox (compiled with MozSVG support) hangs (Firefox 1.0.6)
- Konqueror and rsvg-view render the file with all pages printed on top 
of each other, very very tiny. (KDE 2.4.1, rsvg-view 2.9.5)
- Abiword renders the file with all pages overlapping, at extremely 
fuzzy resolution; stems are not correctly aligned, and certain 
Emmentaler glyphs are wrong (such as clefs) (Abiword 2.2.8)


I don't have OpenOffice installed, so I couldn't test how it reacts to 
Lily's SVG.


I tried the above steps with two different files which produce correct 
PDF output.  Both files are multiple pages.  When I tried this with a 
single-page Lily document, I got the following results:


- Inkscape opened the file correctly
- rsvg-view and Konqueror opened the file correctly but rendered it very 
very tiny

- Firefox showed all characters on top of one another
- Karbon14 only showed staff-lines, measures, stems and ledger-lines; 
all character data was missing.
- Abiword had the same problems as above, except of course no 
overlapping pages
- KWord showed correct glyphs for accidentals, but incorrect glyphs for 
noteheads and clefs; most vertical lines were missing.


Any hints on how to get Lily to behave with SVG?

Re: Cryptical errormessage

[Daniel Johnson]

If you look here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.6/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/Multi-measure-rests.html
you'll see that adding a fermata to a multi-measure rest (R1 rather than
r1) is done with \fermataMarkup instead of \fermata.

--Daniel

Hans de Rijck wrote:

Han-Wen,

I've found the culprit.

The errormessage is caused by a fermata over a full measure rest:

\new Voice \relative c
{
\clef treble
\time 4/4

R1*4/4 \fermata
}

Removing the fermata clears the error, changing the rest to r1 too.

Re: Lilypond 2.6.1 on Gentoo: libstdc++

[Daniel Johnson]

Dear Martin --

I took another look at your error message.  I think that if you scroll
further up in your error messages, you'll find that there was a
non-fatal error in processing a .ly file; this causes problems for
texi2dvi later.  Also, have you explicitly disabled the doc USE flag
for this?  I.e. added the following to /etc/portage/package.use:
media-sound/lilypond -doc
You can make sure by using the ask-verbose flag when emerging:
emerge -av lilypond
I could almost swear that somehow the doc USE flag is being set. 
Also, if you discover the failed processing of a .ly file, it is almost
assuredly because of a problem with Guile 1.6.7.  If you want to try
updating Guile to the CVS version, you can find instructions here:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-07/msg00031.html
Just ignore steps 12-18, since the ebuild available from the Gentoo
bugzilla handles that part for you.  You'll find that Lilypond builds
much faster with the CVS Guile.

If you have Java installed, you might want to try installing jEdit
(http://www.jedit.org/) which has plugins that can handle syntax
highlighting etc. for Lilypond.

Microsoft-built editors in general will choke when opening documents
created on Unix-like systems (including Linux  OSX), because the
end-of-line character(s) for Microsoft is CR+LF while Unix uses LF. 
(And to top it off, old Macs used CR.)  Any decent programmer's editor
can gracefully make the conversion between the styles.  Also, if you're
using Lilypond = 2.5, jEdit can save documents in UTF-8 format, which
lets you include any Unicode character in your files, not just those
accessible from your American or Western European keyboard.

Re: Compiling Lilypond-2.6.0 On Gentoo

[Daniel Johnson]

If you are going to be building the documentation on Gentoo (i.e. you
have doc in your USE variable) it is almost imperative that you use a
version of Guile newer than the latest stable -- use a CVS snapshot of
the development branch, and you get Han-Wen's garbage-collection
patches.  What I wound up doing was the following (as root):

***WARNING: UGLY HACKS***

1. cd ~
2. wget
ftp://ftp.dt.e-technik.uni-dortmund.de/pub/guile/snapshots/guile-core.unstable.tar.gz
3. tar xzf guile-core.unstable.tar.gz
4. tar czf guile-1.7.2.tar.gz guile-core.unstable*
5. mv guile-1.7.2.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles
6. mkdir -p $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-util/guile/
7. cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/dev-util/guile
8. cp /usr/portage/dev-util/guile-1.6.8.ebuild ./guile-1.7.2.ebuild
9. edit guile-1.7.2.ebuild. Add dev-libs/gmp to the DEPEND var.  Remove
the line that patches in case of GCC 4.0 (unless you are running GCC 4,
in which case you'll have to figure out how to modify the patch yourself)
10. ebuild guile-1.7.2.ebuild digest
11. emerge guile
12. cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY/media-sound/lilypond
13. edit lilypond-2.6.0.ebuild.  In the src_install function, comment
out the entire if use doc; block.
14. ebuild lilypond-2.6.0.ebuild digest
15. mkdir -p /var/tmp/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work
16. USE=doc FEATURES=keepwork emerge lilypond
17. mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/lilypond; cd /usr/share/doc/lilypond
18. tar xzf
/var/tmp/portage/lilypond-2.6.0/work/lilypond-2.6.0/out-www/web.tar.gz

I'm sure there are better ways of doing this but this was my quick 
dirty method.  Building of documentation proceeded at a very nice pace,
and didn't crash like it has been doing for the last month or so.  This
should also help users who are building massive documents with
lilypond-book.

I sure hope the Gentoo team supports this stuff without my hacks soon...
but that's unlikely since they seem to be stalled on creating an ESP
Ghostscript 8.15rc3 ebuild.  And forget about Guile CVS... development
and release of Guile seems to happen at a snail's pace, and I don't
think anyone other than Han-Wen has placed any importance on the GC
portion of Guile.  We are *so* spoiled with the pace of Lilypond
development!

Re: Extending beamed stems

Watch out when upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5 if you use lots of TeX markup
(and it looks like you might, to achieve your /pedalc markup).  Since
2.5 does not use TeX as a backend by default, you'll have to recode this
stuff using standard markup.  Version 2.5 writes PostScript directly
without processing as TeX first.

I did my research out of the 2.5 manual, so your mileage may vary; but I
don't think there's anything especially late-breaking about any of the

Use backslashes instead of forward.  Also, backslashes separate logical

hmm. On second thought, the tie between the C's probably won't work
here.   \\  by default generates new voices, and you can't do
cross-voice ties.  BUT, you can specify voice-names.  So the following
would (theoretically) work:

\context Voice = rightHand r4 c4 ~  \context Voice = rightHand c2 \\
{r8 g e8 r8 g e8} 

  \\  generates a \context Voice = 1 and \context Voice = 2 by
default.  But if you specify one of the voices to be the same as the
voice *outside* the double-angle-brackets, then you can perform the tie,
since both tied notes are in the same voice.

Make sense?

--Daniel

P.S. This same trick is useful in vocal scores, when you are binding
lyrics to a voice.  Since by default  \\  generates new voices, your
lyrics will not bind to the notes inside the double-angle-brackets.  But
if you specify one of the voices inside the  \\  to be the same as
the voice outside it, the lyrics flow just fine.  Here's an example:

text = \lyricmode { La Ti Do }
\score {

\context Staff = sopStaff {
\context Voice = sopVoice {
a2  \context Voice = sopVoice b2 \\ {g4( f)}  | c a1

1. Just beam from the first three notes over to the high G-flat.
2. On the D in the left hand, do a \once \override Voice.Stem
#'flag-style = #'no-flag, and do a \stemUp.
3. On the D in the left hand, do a \once \override NoteColumn
#'force-hshift = #-1.  Adjust this value until the stem is aligned
perfectly with the stem of the note in the right hand.
4. On the D in the left hand, do a \once \override Voice.Stem #'length =
#12 or however long it needs to be to meet up with the beam.

I did my research out of the 2.5 manual, so your mileage may vary; but I
don't think there's anything especially late-breaking about any of the
features I used above.  The noteheads of the eighth-notes in the left 
right hands won't be horizontally aligned, but their stems will meet the
beam in the same place.  Is that acceptable?

I'm running lilypond 2.4.5 (fink installation) on OSX 10.3.9. Attached to this 
mail is an example. Although this bar works OK the way it is, I would have 
liked to beam it 1/4+1/8 rather than 1/8+1/8+1/8. Either by connecting the 
lower beam of the first 1/8 note group to the stem of the second eighth note 
(from a notation point of view this would be unorthodox since one of the note 
heads would end up on the wrong side of the stem). The other way would be to 
have the beam go below all notes on beat one and two (counting eihgth notes).

Here's the code for the bar:

  \time 3/8
  ges'''16~[ \revert Beam #'positions ges64 \change Staff=lower f,32. ] 
 \change Staff=upper \stemExtend \noFlag ges'8- \noBeam
  \acciaccatura { g32^\pedalc } \change Staff = lower b,,,32 [ \change Staff = 
 upper f''~ f16~ ] |

And here are the \noFlag and \stemExtend:

noFlag = \once \override Stem #'flag-style = #'no-flag
stemExtend = \once \override Stem #'length = #32

...and attached is an image.

This is the first piece I do in LilyPond, so I'm not very experienced yet. 
Tahnks for any help.

Re: change page number locations

Hi,

How does one change the side of the page that the page number appears?
My 2nd page (the first page to show a page number) will need the page
number in the upper right corner, rather than upper left.  Thanks for
any hints.

Sterling MacNay

  

Have a look at scm/page-layout.scm to see the Scheme code for displaying
page numbers, starting on line 38.  I don't know much Scheme but it
seems like you should be able to redefine the plain-header function in
your .ly file, changing the even? test on line 50 to odd?, as follows:

(if (odd? page-number)
(set! line (reverse line)))

I haven't tested this but I think it should work with a minimum of
hacking.  If moving up to version 2.5 is an option for you, you have
full control over page layout without having to hack in Scheme.

Mind you, I'm not a guru, and this could be way off-track.  Just trying
to be helpful.  :-)

I want to extend a beamed stem so that it reaches beyond the beam, without

What version of teTeX are you using?  If it's really ancient you might
want to upgrade.  (Metafont is part of the teTeX package, which is
required for building Lilypond.)  The current stable version of teTeX
3.0, but most Linux distributions are shipping 2.0.2 (which is still

Re: compilation error in 2.5.26

[Daniel Johnson]

Hi Luis --

I don't think ec-fonts is part of this problem. Looks like you are
crashing while Metafont is trying to generate a feta font -- that
shouldn't involve ec-fonts at all. What is happening is that not only is
Metafont failing, but it is not even generating a log. Do you get clean
results for the following:

mf --version

If your system can't find mf or if mf itself crashes, then it'll be
small wonder that mftrace is choking. That would also explain your
issues with ec-fonts.

Re: Building 2.5.20

[Daniel Johnson]

I had the same problem.  From what I've read, the flex API has changed
since 2.5.4a.  Here's what I did to fix it:

sed -i -e 's:\$\(FLEX\) :\$\(FLEX\) -l :' stepmake/stepmake/c-rules.make

The -l flag tells flex to behave like old-school lex.  It seems like
the configure script should take care of this, though.

I can see that the configure scripts checks for yy_current_buffer and
says no.

This was no problem with 2.5.18.

I'm using Flex 2.5.31.

Jonatan, instead of make all, try make default install, then if you're

This happened also for 2.5.18. I simply disabled the docs by editing the

Re: PDF-generation lily2.5.19 [was] What is final-install target

[Daniel Johnson]

You'll need ghostscript 8.15 in order to build/run more recent lilypond
2.5 releases.  Under Gentoo you can either install ghostscript-afpl, or
use a custom-written ESP ghostscript ebuild for 8.15_rc2.  I'm at work
right now but I have such an ebuild at home if anyone is interested. 
This build is less than 100% stable and make web still fails partway
through, but if you aren't interested in building the documentation, it
will at least let you build and run the app.

Thank you for offering a special ebuild for ghostscript-afpl.
Yes, I am very interested.

  

The ebuild I made is not for AFPL -- there is already one in Portage
(app-text/ghostscript-afpl).  My ebuild is for ESP Ghostscript
8.15_rc2.  One major difference between AFPL and ESP is that AFPL
includes many less printer drivers.  If AFPL includes drivers for your
printer, I'd recommend using that one instead of my ESP build, at least
until the next release candidate (or final release) comes out from ESP.

ESP builds their product based on GPL Ghostscript (which is identical
with AFPL ghostscript as far as I can tell) but they add a bunch of
features, including CUPS integration along with a bunch of printer
drivers.  Because of all the extra work they do, they are generally one
or two versions behind.  Last time I checked, the latest unstable GPL
version was 8.50.

It's not too hard to modify the AFPL/GPL build process to include extra
printer drivers (such drivers are downloadable from linuxprinting.org).

Upgrade problems from 2.5.8 to anything higher

[Daniel Johnson]

Hello all --
I've been trying to keep up with the latest development versions, but 
I've run into a problem that's keeping me stuck at 2.5.8.  First of all, 
I'm running a fully-up-to-date Gentoo box, with AFPL Ghostscript 8.15.  
I've been able to use lilypond 2.5.8 just great, and I'm able to compile 
newer versions; but when I try to use them, the noteheads, clefs etc. in 
the output are all in Courier, i.e. Ghostscript isn't finding the 
Feta/Parmesan/Emmentaler fonts.  I've tried compiling on another machine 
and it works great there (with correct output); and I've packaged up the 
binary and installed it on this machine, but the output is still messed 
up.  There must be some old cruft sitting around on my machine gumming 
up the works, but I'm pulling my hair out trying to find it.  I've run 
the clean-fonts script, and carefully removed everything from 
/usr/share/lilypond, /usr/lib/lilypond and /usr/share/omf/lilypond 
between build attempts.  Anyone have any ideas what could be causing 
this problem?

I've pretty much ruled out fontforge and mftrace since these are invoked 
only during compile time, not runtime.

Re: Location of CFF fonts

[Daniel Johnson]

Skip 2.5.7, use 2.5.8 instead.  The emmentaler fonts build/install 
properly in 2.5.8, whereas in 2.5.7 I was only able to use lilypond -b tex.

I hacked together ebuilds for all the dependencies that are newer than 
the latest Gentoo ebuilds, but I built Lily by hand, since FontForge 
generates the sandbox violations.  Apparently FontForge wants to 
periodically write its status to ~/.PfaEdit which of course violates the 
sandbox.

However, I was just now looking at the official Gentoo ebuild for 2.5.2, 
and in the src_compile function, there is a series of 4 addwrite 
statements.  So, as root, you ought to mkdir ~/.PfaEdit (if you don't 
already have such a directory) and then, in your modded ebuild, add an 
addwrite ~/.PfaEdit just underneath the other addwrites.  Addwrite 
basically pokes a specific hole in the sandbox without causing a 
violation.  I haven't tried this yet; let me know if you get it to work.

If that doesn't work, here's how to build by hand:

Have you prepared a set of ebuilds needed ?
I would be grateful for posting them.
I still have sandbox errors building 2.5.7 using my puny tries to

Re: opus/composer alignment

[Daniel Johnson]

FYI, this appears to be fixed in 2.5.7 and later.  Lilypond especially 
had problems calculating font metrics when using any font other than the 
default Computer Modern TeX fonts but it appears that this issue has 
been dealt with.

Gentoo ebuild for Lilypond 2.5.8

[Daniel Johnson]

I've attached a Gentoo ebuild for Lilypond 2.5.8 which I've just 
verified compiles just fine.

Some notes:
- You'll need to create a custom ebuild for =app-text/mftrace-1.1.1.  
(1.1.2 is the latest.)  You can do this by renaming the latest official 
Gentoo ebuild.

- This ebuild requires ghostscript-afpl instead of plain-vanilla 
ghostscript (which is actually ESP Ghostscript).  This is because  ESP 
Ghostscript is at version 7.07 and ghostscript-afpl is up to 8.50 (8.15 
is the latest stable in Gentoo).  Ghostscript 7 will hang when Lilypond 
is trying to parse les-nereides.ly and various mutopia examples.  The 
downside of this is that AFPL Ghostscript may not ship with all of the 
CUPS printer drivers that are present in the ESP product.  If you are 
worried about this, you might want to keep your existing Ghostscript and 
instead edit the GNUmakefiles in the source tarball to omit processing 
of les-nereides and the mutopia directory.  In that case, in this ebuild 
replace the =app-text/ghostscript-afpl-8.15 with 
virtual/ghostscript.  Or, just unmerge the AFPL product after you've 
emerged Lilypond, and re-emerge the ESP product.

- This ebuild was created under the presumption that you are emerging as 
root.  If you are emerging as any other user, you'll probably get 
sandbox violations.

- In your /etc/portage/package.keywords file, you'll want the following, 
to tell Portage to use unstable packages.  Of course, if you are using 
an architecture other than x86, perform the obvious substitutions:
media-sound/lilypond ~x86
app-text/t1utils ~x86
media-fonts/ec-fonts-mftraced ~x86
media-gfx/potrace ~x86
media-gfx/fontforge ~x86
app-text/mftrace ~x86

Re: How to do custom titles

[Daniel Johnson]

I do a fair amount of chant settings and arrangements.  Using Lilypond 
2.5.3, I've managed to define my own page layouts, using 
/usr/share/lilypond/2.5.3/ly/titling-init.ly as a model; this should 
work with the 2.4 series also.  The following goes at the top of my 
files (actually I include an external file, but this is the gist of it):

\paper{
   #(set-paper-size letter)
   topmargin = 0.5\in
   leftmargin = 0.75\in
   linewidth = 7\in
   bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
   \column {
   \fill-line { \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { \override 
#'(font-magnification . 3) \fromproperty #'header:title } }
   \fill-line { \override #'(baseline-skip . 3)
   \fill-line { \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 2.5) \fromproperty #'header:subtitle } }
   }
   \fill-line {
   \column {
   \left-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty #'header:chantsource }
   \left-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty 
#'header:specialmelody }
   \left-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty #'header:textsource }
   }
   \column {
   \right-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty #'header:composer }
   \right-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty 
#'header:composerdates }
   \right-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty #'header:arranger }
   \right-align \override #'(font-name . ptmr) { 
\override #'(font-magnification . 1.2) \fromproperty 
#'header:arrangerdates }
   }
   }
   }
   }
%  ... similar definitions for scoreTitleMarkup, odd/evenHeaderMarkup, 
odd/evenFooterMarkup ...
}

Note that I've defined my own custom header properties.  This makes my 
music files rather un-portable but it makes generating output for my 
specialized needs much easier.  If I'm not mistaken the mutopia project 
also uses custom-defined header properties.  (For the curious, the 
ptmr font is Adobe Times; to get proper PDF output I've had to use 
lilypond-latex.)

As an aside, when you use a text font other than the default (which is 
Computer Modern, the original TeX font developed by Donald Knuth), I 
believe that lilypond currently uses Computer Modern for computing 
metrics, so center- or right-aligned text may appear a bit ragged.

Hope this helps.

Hello List.
This question is for Lilypond 2.4.2.
Does it really have to be so complicated to do custom titles? In version 2.2.5
it was possible to just change titledefs.tex but that doesn't seem to work
anymore. I understand that you are supposed to write a (fairly complicated)
Scheme procedure to do this, but how do I hook it so it is used?
I'm trying this now:
\include bagpipe-title.scm
\layout {
 #(define-public book-title bagpipe-book-title)
 #(define-public score-title bagpipe-book-title)
}
where bagpipe-title.scm at the moment is exactly the same as the definintions
for opera music that can be found in the list archive. But this doesn't work -
the custom definitions are not used. And, yes, I *do* want the book-title and
score-title to look the same.

Page numbering

[Daniel Johnson]

Hello all,
I notice that Lilypond now allows for increased customization of page 
headers/footers, as well as the removal of page numbers.  I have also 
discovered that creating custom headers in Lilypond 2.5.2 eliminates 
page numbering.  My dilemma is that I am working on a music project in 
which there are strict (Finale-centric) formatting conventions, such as 
placing the page number in Times font centered at the bottom of the page.

Does anyone know of a way to include page numbers in custom 
headers/footers, short of using lilypond-book?

Re: compiling ec-fonts-mftraced

[Daniel Johnson]

Hello all,
I too am a Gentoo user, currently using Lilypond 2.5.2.  I had no 
trouble building ec-fonts-mftraced, but I was unable to build the 
Lilypond documentation.  Both these problems are already entered into 
Gentoo's bugzilla but no new activity has been entered on the bug in a 
while.

I did a writeup in the Gentoo forums on how to get 2.4.2 working, 
written before there was an official Gentoo ebuild for any version 
higher than 2.2.6:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=256926

This resulted in a fully functional Lilypond installation. Unfortunately 
since I upgraded to the Gentoo ebuild of 2.5.2 I have been unable to get 
the documentation installed (though the rest builds OK).  I eventually 
resorted to using an RPM of the documentation.  I would guess that there 
is an unlisted dependency that is going unsatisfied.

Here is what the 2.5.2 Gentoo ebuild lists as dependencies for both the 
ec-fonts-mftraced and lilypond packages (including the documentation 
option):
- guile 1.6.4
- ghostscript (no version given)
- tetex (no version given)
- python 2.2.3-r1
- t1utils 1.32
- perl 5.8.0-r12
- texinfo 4.6
- flex 2.5.4a-r5
- gcc 3.1-r8
- make 3.80
- mftrace 1.0.27
- bison (any version except 1.75)
- imagemagick (no version given) -- only needed for building documentation
- netpbm 9.12-r4 -- only needed for building documentation
- potrace 1.5

I am guessing that the problem resides in one of the non-versioned 
dependencies listed.  I just upgraded imagemagick to latest and will try 
building again.  Since the build process fails only when building the 
documentation, it makes sense that the failing dependency might be one 
of the documentation-only dependencies.

By the way, on Gentoo, if you have emerged Lilypond, you have 
automatically emerged tetex.  The only way you could be missing tetex is 
if you un-merged it after emerging Lilypond.

Hi Scott/others,
I am having the same problem. I'm running the latest version of Gentoo
(2004.3-r1, kernel 2.6.9), and have tried compiling each version of
ec-fonts-mtraced, using make or make all install, and it generates
the same error every time (as Scott copied below).
Actually, I thought I had tetex installed, but I just now noticed that I
don't. So maybe that's the problem? I'll try compiling ec-fonts-mftraced
again after installing tetex, and report what happens.
FWIW, I emerged (installed from source with Gentoo) Lilypond, which
happens to be version 2.0.3 (which I think doesn't require
ec-fonts.mftraced).

Re: compiling ec-fonts-mftraced

[Daniel Johnson]

As a follow-up to the Gentoo compilation issues, I successfully 
installed Lilypond 2.5.2 with documentation after upgrading imagemagick 
to latest and re-installing ec-fonts-mftraced.  This is on the x86 
platform; further issues may exist on other platforms.
