Fwd: positioning dynamics vertically
Hello all,
I'm typesetting pieces for piano and melody instrument and I have a
question about dynamic placement.
I'm adding dynamics to the melody part in a separate Dynamics context
because I like for each line of markings to have its own static
baseline. But I need that baseline to 'hug' the bottom of the melody
staff and I haven't been able to do that.
Thanks in advance,
David
Here is my minimal example:
\version "2.18.2"
\paper {
ragged-last = ##f
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
pianoRH = \relative c'' {
c4 d e c
}
pianoLH = \relative c {
c2 g'4 e
}
hornNotes = \relative c'' {
g2 c
}
dyn = {
s2\mf\< s\!\f
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff \with {
fontSize = #-3
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -3)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -3)
}
<<
\new Voice {
\hornNotes
}
\new Dynamics {
\override DynamicText.font-size = #-3
\dyn
}
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff {
\pianoRH
}
\new Dynamics {
\dyn
}
\new Staff {
\clef bass
\pianoLH
}
}

Re: positioning dynamics vertically
Thanks Pierre.
Although that wasn't quite the effect I was after, that section of
documentation yielded the solution I wanted.
I have read it before, but didn't really understand until I followed the
breadcrumbs to the Dynamics context in the internals. What I needed was
something called nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing within the VerticalAxisGroup.
The idea was that with the Dynamics context for the horn centered
between the horn staff and the treble staff of the PianoStaff, it was
ambiguous which staff the dynamics belonged to whenever spacing got a
little tight. This solution keeps the dynamics closer to the horn staff,
regardless of how the staves and groups stretch to fill a page.
Here's what it looks like.
Thanks again,
David

To get more of the control any user would expect, you could do
something like this:
\version "2.19.16"
\new Staff <<
\repeat unfold 8 {
\startStaff s4 \stopStaff
}
{
a4
\once \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.color = #blue
a
\once \override Staff.LedgerLineSpanner.color = #green
a
\once \override Staff.StaffSymbol.color = #red
a
a4 a a a
}
>>
I imagine this could be automated fairly easily. Who knows the
overhead with large scores, though!
(Aside: it might be interesting to come up with something emulating
the old single-impression printing technique where staff lines, notes,
and text were stamped together and inexactly
aligned--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_music_publishing
(under Rastell) Can't come up with a good visual.)

The log output indicates the StaffSymbol and LedgerLineSpanner objects that are created. It's purely for the sake of the explanation. You might think that each ledger line is a separate object, able to be overridden. That, however, is not the case. All the ledger lines in a line of music are a single object, so any override will affect them all. The scheme functions just confirm this.

Re: Coloring Ledger Lines
Hi David,
Using \stopStaff ... \startStaff results in uneven spacing in the pair
of notes between which the new StafSymbol is created. My (our) solution
is to start a StaffSymbol before every note so that the spacing is uniform.
Like I said, it's kind of a hack, but it works.
Best regards,
David

If you're just going to have a few changes, then there would be a need

}
>>

In other words, just remember to put
\stopStaff \startStaff
before every override of LedgerLineSpanner.

Hymns and justified lyrics
Hello LilyPonders,
I have a client who is working on a hymnal, and they would like for the
beginning of the lines of verses to be left justified. The best way I
can see to do this, from a visual standpoint, is to make the longest
syllable on the first note of each line centered like it normally is,
and then left-align all the others to that syllable.
Please see the attached minimal example.
First, I want to know whether it is possible to automate this behavior
with LilyPond (I think it is).
And next, I'd like it if someone would point me in the direction of how
to achieve this. My sense is that it is going to require some
function-writing. I'm not a programmer (at all, really), but I'm not
opposed to learning how to do this. Actually, I've been meaning to learn
how to extend and modify some aspects of LilyPond for my own projects
and doing so for a client-project is the best excuse I might have for
jumping in.
Also, it's something that may be useful for other users as well, so at
the very least it should be included in the LSR, and maybe made
available for everyone in a future release.
I'm also open to collaboration on this, if anyone else is interested.
So, my hunch is that I'm going to write a function that queries the
value of the left edge of the centered syllable in one verse, and then
calculates the amount of offset to apply to the syllables at the same
point in other verses on a case-by-case basis.
1) where can I start with learning this sort of tinkering, and 2) does
anyone have other functions that behave in a similar way (fetching a
value, making a calculation, and then applying it somewhere else) that I
could study to figure out how I might do this?
Again, I have no idea, so let me know if I'm way off base here.
Thanks,
David

Upper and Lower slurs in \partCombine
Hello,
The 2.18 manuals seem to indicate that simultaneous slurs are a no-no,
but I thought I'd check here to see if anyone knows of a trick I haven't
thought of.
In my example, I would like to have a slur below the staff starting and
ending in the same place as the slur above the staff. PrhasingSlur
doesn't produce the desired result. I've also tried making a slur of a
different length - the 1st two notes only - and then using \shape to
lengthen the slur and make the arc look more natural.
This method works, but it is cumbersome.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Re: Upper and Lower slurs in \partCombine
Thanks. Both this and Phil's suggestion are what I need.
For what it's worth, the 2.18 Notation Manual Index doesn't reference
doubleSlur directly either under "doubleSlur" or "Slurs," although when
you look up "Slur, simultaneous phrasing," it's in that general area if
you scroll up on the resulting page, which I hadn't noticed before.

Using the q shorthand for chords doesn't result in exact duplicates with

Changing notehead sizes within chords
Hello group,
Is there a way to apply a NoteHead font-size once to a single music
expression and then combine it with one or more other music expressions
to get different notehead sizes on a single set of stems (i.e., one
Voice context)?
This is a common notation for pop music where there is typically one
lead vocal part with one or more harmony voices which are mixed lower.
Please see my tiny example below.
Thanks,
David

Re: Changing notehead sizes within chords
Klaus and Thomas,
Thank you. These are exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.
I've been starting to fool around with scheme and it's going very
slowly. Maybe examining these and learning how/why they work will help
me with the lilypond-specific scheme knowledge required to start solving
some of these challenges.
Do either of you recommend a source on Scheme for beginners?
Thanks,
David

Maybe:
\version "2.18.2"
font-size-tweak =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
(map-some-music
(lambda (m)
(and (music-is-of-type? m 'note-event)
#{ \tweak font-size #-3 $m #}))
music))
leadVoice = \relative c'' { c4( d e2 ) }
bkgdVoiceI = \relative c'' { g4( b c2 ) }
bkgdVoiceII = \relative c'' { e4( f g2 ) }
\new Voice
<<
\font-size-tweak \bkgdVoiceII
\leadVoice
\font-size-tweak \bkgdVoiceI

Fwd: Middle voices and rests
Hi group,
Any guess on how to make LilyPond automatically shift rests the way it
shifts notes in middle voices to avoid collisions with other notes?
Here's a minimal example.
Thanks,
David
%% Example %%
\version "2.14"
upstems = {
\relative c' {
c2
}
}
middle = {
\relative c' {
g4 g
}
}
middleRest = {
\relative c' {
g4 \rest g
}
}
downstems = {
\relative c {
c2
}
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
<<
{ \new Voice { \voiceOne \upstems } }
{ \new Voice { \voiceThree \middle } }
{ \new Voice { \voiceTwo \downstems } }
>>
}
\new TabStaff {
<<
{ \upstems }
{ \middle }
{ \downstems }
>>
}
>>
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff {
\clef "treble_8"
<<
{ \new Voice { \voiceOne \upstems } }
{ \new Voice { \voiceThree \middleRest } }
{ \new Voice { \voiceTwo \downstems } }

}
\new TabStaff {

{ \upstems }

Even page numbers on right?
Is there a way to have LilyPond print even page numbers in the top right corner and odd page numbers in the top left? This seems like it should be possible but I can't find any way to do it either in the manuals or the LSR or on the lilypond-user list. Thanks, David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Even page numbers on right?
Thanks, Janeck.
In case anyone who wants to know doesn't, here is the code that worked
for me:
\version "2.14"
\paper {
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\column {
\fill-line {
\line { }
\line {
\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
}
}
}
}
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup {
\column {
\fill-line {
\line {
\on-the-fly #print-page-number-check-first
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string
}
\line { }
}
}
}
}

you have to define your own header layout. See

Free online courses
I'm posting this link in hopes that some may be interested or find it useful. Coursera is offering free, online courses hosted by various University departments in a variety of disciplines and subjects. There are about 20 relating to Computer Programming. I'm currently taking the course "Learn to Program: The Fundamentals" which demonstrates programming fundamentals using Python. I'm a veteran LilyPond user, with absolutely no programming experience. It occurs to me that this may be a way for people who may want to contribute to LilyPond but who are not programmers by day to perhaps get their feet wet. https://www.coursera.org/category/cs-programming David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Overriding bound details of VoiceFollower line
I've followed the directions in "Using the line-spanner-interface"
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/spanners> in the
manuals, trying to nudge the right end of a Voice Change line.
It isn't working.
Would someone mind taking a look at my example, and see if I'm missing
something obvious?
I'm using LilyPond 2.16.2
Thanks,
David

Doh!
That does the trick.

ly2video on Ubuntu
Hi all, Has anyone had success getting ly2video to work on recent versions of Ubuntu or Debian? I'm using ly2video 0.4.1 on UbuntuStudio 13.10 and seem to be running into issue #32: https://github.com/aspiers/ly2video/issues/32 I'm messing around with changing the ly2video.py script according to the proposed workaround, but haven't had any luck. Has anyone gotten it to work? If so, do you remember the procedure you used? Thanks, David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: precisely controlling with width of an example
I haven't tried this, but might setting a custom page size of 4\in width and then setting margins to 0\cm in the paper block do the trick? Best regards, David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
