ChordName font
Hi:
I'm having a little trouble with 2.5.26, and I'm pretty sure it's a
misunderstanding on my part. Previously, I've always set the font for
chord symbols like so:
\context {
\ChordNames
\override ChordName #'font-family = #'roman
}
With 2.5.26, I get a sans font for the chord names when I do this.
Running 2.5.26 on a Slackware Linux box with teTeX 3
Possibly related: when I have a title specified like so
title = \markup{\roman This is my title}
I still get CenturySchoolbook as the font (I think that's the font name
anyway).
If anyone can clear this up for me, I'd appreciate it. It may just take
a slight adjustment to my brain :-).

Font problem in 2.4.5
Hi: I compiled 2.4.5 from the tarball -- I'm trying to use it with tetex-3.0 under Linux. I've read the compilation instructions, and aside from a small problem with espgs, everything seemed to go well. I automatically source lilypond-profile when I log in, so that's not the problem. I also run the clean-fonts script after the build. The problem I'm seeing is that the generated .ps and .pdf files have no fonts except for the notes and associated stuff like time signatures, etc. But I'm not seeing title, composer, rehearsal marks, etc. If I call dvips like so 'dvips -o test.ps -u+lilypond.map test.dvi' then I get everything correct in the ps file. But if I call ps2pdf as 'ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=a4 test.ps', I don't get any of the correct type one fonts in the pdf. One possible strange thing is that tetex-3.0 as compiled for Slackware has the font cache in /var/tmp/texfonts/ instead of /var/cache/fonts. Could this be a problem? So...it's an accumulation of things. I'm assuming that there's something I'm doing wrong, but have no clue as to what it is. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi: After much use of lilypond, I've noticed that it's quite good at page layout; if I leave most of the settings to their defaults, I get a nice four staff groups per page, beautifully spaced.

Indentation for second page of score
Hi:
I'm working on an orchestral score, where each staff is set up like so:
\context Staff = staffname {
\set Staff.instrument = Long Instrument Name
\set Staff.instr = Short instr. nm.
\instrument
}
Things look pretty good on the first page -- the instrument names print
out with enough indentation, etc. On the second page, the indentation is
0 (as far as I can tell) and the beginning of the instrument name is cut
off.
I _think_ I saw a property that handles indentation on the second and
succeeding pages, but I can't recall what it was or where I saw it.

Slight spanner problem
I'm not quite sure how to describe this: if it's not clear, please let
me know.
I have a score that has a lot of words spanning bar lines; but the
person I'm doing it for doesn't want any words outside the confines of
the bars, so I've set up the Lyrics context like so:
\context {
\LyricsContext \consists Bar_engraver
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
}
and the elements are grouped like so:
Staff
Lyrics
Staff
Lyrics
No problems with the words; they're within the bar lines (even though
the bar lines aren't visible). But if a line of music ends with a tie
and the word it ends on has an extender spanner, then the extender juts
out a bit beyond the (invisible) bar line.
Also, when I'm compiling the source, I get:
programming error: round filled box vertical extent smaller than blot;
decreasing blot
The spanner problem is extremely slight; but I wondered if there was
perhaps some other way to keep the words inside the bar lines.

acciacctura and chord tones
To Whom It May Concern: :-)
I'm trying to set up a bar of music where an acciaccatura anticipates a
chord tone and is tied to that chord tone. The example is below. If I
use the \acciaccatura, the slur goes to the lowest chord tone, and I'd
like it to go to the chord tone that is the same as the acciacctura.
That is, since the acciaccatura is an f#, I'd like it to be tied to the
f# in the chord.
I've thought of a few possible ways to do this, but I'm not sure about
any of them.
- tie the acciaccatura to the chord, and set the engraver that handles
the slur to null (or nil)
- replace the grace note stem engraver temporarily with the acciaccatura
stem engraver
- find out about the musical term that enables me to do this...
Any pointers would be very appreciated.

Choral music
Hi: I'm trying to do something simple: a choral arrangement with an arbitrary number ( 4) of verses positioned between two staves. The soprano and alto parts would be in the treble staff, and the tenor and bass notes would be in the bass clef staff. There is probably a simple way to do this, but I can't seem to find it. I can do this in musiXteX (granted, I had to hack the musixcho macros a bit), but doing it in lilypond eludes me. If someone could point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged. Thanks, Doug ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Lilypond with teTeX 2
Mats Bengtsson wrote: I wouldn't expect any problem due to the new teTeX version I'm not sure it's lilypond at all now. The pfa fonts are fine, and are found. But somehow dvips is using the bitmapped fonts instead of the type1 fonts for text. In the config.pdf file the scaling is set for 8000 dpi, and that just doesn't happen. If I type this command (which seems to be what ly2dvi is doing): dvips -Ppdf -G0 -u lilypond.map -omyfile.ps myfile.dvi I get the following while the file is being processed: kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 8000 --mag 1+0/8000 --dpi 8000 cmbx 10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfour and resolution 8000; ignoring mode mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 8000 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me dvips: Font cmbx10 at 8000 not found; scaling 600 instead. I have to think now that this is some problem with my teTeX setup. According to the PDF config file, Type1 fonts should be preferred, but it seems as if they aren't. I'm getting good Type1 fonts with musiXteX, but...I don't know why. If anyone can shed light on this, I'd appreciate it.

Lilypond with teTeX 2
Hi: I made an attempt (not a huge one) to use lilypond with a teTeX beta 2 under Linux. Most of the functionality was there, but lilypond will not produce a pdf file with this configuration. If I read the error messages correctly (and I'm pretty sure I did) there was trouble finding the fonts. Has anyone made lilypond work with this configuration? Thanks, Doug P.S. And a happy new year to you all. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: PFA fonts not found in 1.7.9?

I have sent in a patch, which I am including with this email, that fixes the problem. That did the trick, thanks.

PDF bug or misunderstanding?
Hello:
I'm a new user of lilypond, and I've run into an issue. The odd thing
is, this doesn't happen all the time. Context: I'm using teTeX 1.07 on
Slackware 8.1 (Linux), lilypond 1.6.6.
I have a very simple input file:
\score {
\notes \relative c' {
\key g \major
\partial 4
c'8 b \bar |
}
\paper { }
}
if I take this through the steps to produce a pdf file (lydvi input.ly,
dvips input.dvi ps2pdf input.ps) or just do the one-step thing, I end up
with a pdf file that has incomplete note-heads. This is using xpdf to
view the pdf file -- if I use gv, it views ok. But this isn't really
good, because I have to send the pdf file off to MSWin users.
Here's the odd thing -- if I take the \key g \major line out, I get
good (well, decent-looking) note heads. They're at least readable, anyway.
So -- anyone seen this before? Any workarounds?
Thanks for any replies,
Doug Asherman
