Thanks for that offer, David, but I'm a vi kind of guy. :) Alas, my knowledge of emacs is too slim to be useful. Other than that, there is also "rumor" for automatic pitch detection. It does not split polyphonic stuff though. With regard to splitting Midi tracks at split points _and_ doing Midi quantizing/notation it might also be an idea to look at Midi sequencers like Rosegarden. I think that midi2ly sucks less when already dealing with quantized Midi, so even just running stuff through Rosegarden for quantization might help. Since every note was hand-entered into the sequencer - I'm a guitarist with no music keyboard skills - I think it's a safe bet that everything's quantized, i.e. all durations are exactly as I wanted them. Thanks for the reminder re: Rosegarden, I'll try the MIDI file there to see how it shows up in the notation page.

help needed with project notation strategy
Greetings, I wrote a piece for piano that I want to notate with LilyPond. The piece has some difficult aspects regarding which I need some advice or just confirmation that my strategy is sound (or not). The piece is long, 848 measures of varying textures, styles, tempi, and time signatures, with a playing time of about 34 minutes. I plan to cut the file into manageable sections and hand-enter the notation in LP code. There are unplayable parts that I'll assign to a recorded part, though I also want to notate them. I haven't had a lot of luck with midi2ly, though I'm sure I need to learn how to fine-tune its output. Odd groups (7:4, 5:3, 11:4, etc) occur frequently, and I'm not sure how to specify their correct conversion with midi2ly. Also, the original sequence has both hands on a single track. Is there any handy way to indicate a split point for switching staves, i.e. a way to recognize right and left hand passages ? (I think I might be asking for an impossibility, would love to learn otherwise). I can hand-enter it to manuscript, no trouble, but I need a digital publication-ready score. I figure the work will take many months, hence my desire to find the most efficient working method, any useful advice will be hugely appreciated. Btw, I'll likely use Frescobaldi as front-end for LP. The piece is here is anyone wants to check it out, but please understand I'm not advertising my music on this list. This recording sucks anyway sound-wise, I hadn't purchased Pianoteq then. I also plan to re-record the piece with that software. https://soundcloud.com/davephillips69/piano-zero Thanks in advance for any advice and/or suggestions for an improved working method.

question about multiple parts
Greetings, I'm writing another article about the state of music notation software on Linux, and I decided to score some of my older pieces as focus projects. I'm using the Frescobaldi program on Ubuntu 12.04, everything is going very nicely but I do have an important question. I transcribed parts for a trio one by one, i.e. I scored the flute, bassoon, and guitar parts separately, and I'd now like to conjoin them into a single score. Is there a nice easy way to do that, maybe with something like #include files ? I'll be happy if someone can just point me in the right direction in the documentation (which I still find rather confusing, btw). I also want to take a moment to thank everyone involved with LilyPond and its helpers. In my opinion LP is one of the finest projects in the free software world, an outstanding example of collaboration and contribution.

LP printing problems
Greetings: I've written some music for flute, guitar, and harp, it's on-line at http://linux-sound.org/dlp-music-lilypond/gfhtrio4/gfhtrio4.html. The score is naturally three staves (the harpist is a novice, her part fits in a single clef), and the printout is lovely. Alas, the printout is also cutting off the last staff from each page. The printing continues at the start of the next page, i.e., the missing staff is simply gone (not continued on the next page). My question: How do I solve that problem from LP ? Is there a \paper directive I should use ? If so, which one ? Or is this a printer problem ? The printer is a recently acquired HP 6540, it's fast and its output is excellent. I'm hoping the problem isn't with the printer. :( Second problem: The printout is a little too small for some of students, how can I adjust the size of the printed elements ? Again, is there a global LP command that will print everything in a larger font text (and handle the page breaks appropriately) ?

a metronome mark question
Greetings:
I've written a part in even eight notes, but I want to indicate in the
metronome marking that the rhythm of the even eighths should be played
with a swing rhythm, i.e. an eighth-note triplet with a quarter note
followed by an eighth. In a score the rhythm would be {\times 2/3 {c'4
c'8}}, and some jazz scores indicate that evenly notated eighths should
be played with this rhythmic figure.
The Metronome Marks section of the manual (8.2.2 for LP 2.8.4) shows
how to do what I want, but only for single notes and not at all for
triplets.
If I've made myself clear, does anyone know how to create the mark I
need ? In pseudo-LP code it's something like this:
{c'8 c'} = {\times 2/3 {c'4 c'8}}

Re: compile problem with 2.8.4
Greetings: Okay, here's the low-down : Demudi 1.3, Debian Etch GCC 4.0.4 Guile 1.8 Python 2.4 With this system I compiled and installed LilyPond 2.8.4, with no problems during the build. The binary appears to be working correctly, no error reports from Guile. I'm working on a new file, it renders correctly, but the text fonts are rather widely spaced. However, I have major problems with fonts in Xorg 7, the fault may lie with Xorg and not LilyPond. More tests on the way...

In general, you may wish to read the manual for 2.7; most of the info applies to 2.6 as well. Many thanks to Graham and Mats ! I'll peruse the relevant manual sections and experiment. If Demudi ever syncs with the etch dev packages I'll upgrade to the LP testing branch too. Meanwhile I have to use 2.6.3 (which seems to work pretty well).

a new LilyPond music page
Greetings: I've set up a site that contains some of my recent LP projects : http://linux-sound.org/dlp-music-lilypond/ Feel free to comment criticize as desired. Btw, I used LP version 2.6.3 from Demudi 1.3.0rc1. I'm still finessing the pieces there. Some problems to resolve : How do I get a hairpin crescendo to span a series of single-staff polyphonic measures ? So far everything I've tried results in the compiler complaining of unterminated crescendi. Are string numbers available in 2.6.3 ? I indicate them, the compiler doesn't complain about them, but they don't display. How can I move fingering indicators out of the way of slur and phrase curves ? In general, how do I override default spacing of elements such as slurs and ties ? I've briefly looked at the docs, I'm sure there's a way, but is there a preferred method ? I had a few days to do nothing but play with LilyPond, so I dug in and had some great fun. I'm just getting re-started with the program, the learning curve has been relatively painless, and I love the output quality. Big thanks to all LP devels and users !

possible [lilypond] mail subject field ?
Hi guys: Not to complain too bitterly, but I'm subscribed to more than two dozen mail-lists, all of which include list identifiers, all except LilyPond. Could you *please* add it to your mail service ?? My LP mail is scattered through literally hundreds of messages per day, it would be so much nicer to be able to let Mozilla organize them according to the identifier. I know this has been asked before, but obviously nothing was done about it. Also, hitting Reply-to for LP mail addresses the response to the sender, not to the list. Grrr... ;) If LP list traffic were thinner I'd have no complaint, but it is a very active list and generates a considerable volume of mail per day.

Re: LilyPond supported in jEdit 4.2 final
Hi Bert: Very cool, I just checked it out this morning. I may not have much time for it right now, but I hope to work more with it soon. Beautiful work... Best, dp Bertalan Fodor wrote: Dear LilyPond users, jEdit 4.2 final has come out. The syntax coloring for LilyPond is now integrated, and the plugin for LilyPond (featuring point-and-click DVI viewer, document wizard, tweaking helper and other useful features) can be installed via the Plugin Manager, so no separate installation is needed any more. JEdit and the LilyPondTool plugin especially recommended for Windows users, but it works also on Linux, and gives a good integrated editor. JEdit has a very great expandability feature through BeanShell macros and Velocity templates. The LilyPondTool team is waiting for contributors of sophisticated macros and templates that can ease LilyPond editing. Enjoy!

Re: Finale for Linux?
Greetings: In a few words: Nothing is happening in that direction (Finale to Linux). Whatever anyone thinks is happening can be easily checked with a quick message to Coda. I just received a brief message from Joerg Anders confirming that he is discontinuing his own development of NoteEdit, but he encourages other programmers to pick up where he left off. This is a bit of a puzzle, because I don't think there's been much community development in NoteEdit (though I may be wrong). I can understand that Joerg may want to move on to other things. However, a supposed Linux port of Finale is not an especially valid reason (note that the links on the NoteEdit page say nothing in the realm of the definite). I'll believe there's such a port when Coda releases one. Until then it's all smoke...

Re: Using Lilypond
J L wrote: Can someone tell me how to call the scripts? I know that there is stuff in the documentation about doing so, but a physical example would be better (such as how to basically get it to open a file and generate an output file with the changes). I would in particular like to know how to operate 'midi2ly' and 'convert-ly'. It's pretty easy to use the scripts: midi2ly foo.mid -o foo.ly convert-ly foo.ly foo-converted.ly However, you should do some preparation on your files before conversion. For best results, your MIDI files should be Type 1 (otherwise everything goes into a single track), quantized and stripped of extraneous data. When using convert-ly you should add this line to your original LY file: \version 1.8 since the utility essentially works as an updating device. Also, how is it decided which versions are ported to Windows? I don't use Windows and I'm not a LilyPond developer, but my guess is that there's a big dartboard at LilyPond Central... ;-) Btw, please correct me if I'm in error in my descriptions of the utilities. I've simply described how I use them. Best regards, dp ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
On using midi2ly
Greetings: Some suggestions for the docs on midi2ly: 1) The utility will work as advertised *if* you use Type 1 MIDI files. Type 0 files put all data into a single track, so unless you're rendering monophonic music you probably want to be using Type 1 files. 2) Multiple tracks in a sequence should be given the same MIDI channel. If you use separate channels per track midi2ly will create an LY file that will render only the first track. 3) Quantizing start-times and durations should be recommended. This relates to the notes regarding the transcription of a MIDI recording of a performance. I realize it can be done via the utility, but a sequencer gives better visual feedback. 4) Overlapping notes in an arpeggio will not be correctly rendered. The first note will be read and the others will be ignored. Set them all to a single duration and add phrase markings or pedal indicators. Forgive me if these issues are already well-known. Comments and suggestions are welcome. Best regards, dp ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Greetings and a question
Hello everyone: I'm currently writing a profile of LilyPond and am learning how to use it via the tutorial and other packaged documentation. I'm also testing the various input facilitators (NoteEdit, Denemo, emacs, vi, Rosegarden). Hopefully I'll be able to find answers here if/when I get snagged by difficulties, but so far things are going well. I'll be testing some of LilyPond's own input filters today. My question now is whether this list is appropriate for questions regarding Denemo. I've compiled the CVS sources with GTK2, but I'm receiving some errors I'd like to resolve and I've uncovered at least one fatal bug. I'm just not sure who gets the report... Anyway, LilyPond is great Linux software, my congratulations to all the developers for this excellent work.
