The accidental after the octave leap is pretty much on top of the
beam. Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks!

adjusting horizontal spacing and page turns

2011-03-04 Thread Douglas Ridgway 
I'm working on the Mozart bassoon concerto from Mutopia. I'd like to
include the tutti sections on the bassoon part, but in small notes,
because they are usually not played. I used \tiny, but the result
seems kind of stretched out, and the page turns end up in unpleasant
spots. A standalone .ly of the first movement is attached. Any advice
on improving layout? For comparison, check out the first page of the
Edition Peters scan of the bassoon part on
http://imslp.org/wiki/Bassoon_Concerto_in_B-flat_major,_K.191/186e_%28Mozart,_Wolfgang_Amadeus%29
(http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/39385).

Thanks!

fixing beaming

2011-02-11 Thread Douglas Ridgway 
\relative c' {
c8 c8 c8 c4 c4 c8~ | c8 r8 r2.
}

This beams the first three eighth notes together, but the third one
should have a flag, to emphasize the syncopation. What's the right way
to fix this?

Thanks!

 I think this is what you want?

Yep, exactly. I knew it ought to be easy :) Thanks!

 I could not resist looking into this.

 The horn part contains a request to make all accidentals in the score 
 invisible :
 \override Score.Accidental #'transparent = ##t

 This seems to stem from some confusion about key signatures in horns.  It is
 specified in the file from mutopiaproject, but then made transparent.  You can
 simply leave the key signature out.

Thanks so much for finding this. So I guess the right solution then is
to delete both the \override statements, and the \key statement, in
the horn part. Much better, thanks!

score missing accidentals

2011-02-09 Thread Douglas Ridgway 
Hi,

I'm new to Lilypond, and am taking a look at
http://www.mutopiaproject.org/cgibin/piece-info.cgi?id=686 . I've
successfully used the convert script to update the source files to
2.12.3, and generated PDFs of the score and parts. However, I noticed
that the score is missing accidentals that appear in the source and
parts, eg Violin 1 bars 8-9. Actually, it looks like the score doesn't
contain any accidentals at all, at least in the first movement. Is
there something simple that I'm missing?

Thanks!
doug.

 Hm - the accidentals showed up in the bassoon-only part, or the
 complete conductor's score? I tried changing the key to c in mine, and
 the bassoon only part got the accidentals, but the bassoon line in the
 full score did not. Is this different from what you see?

 I can try to put together a sample .ly, but since the score includes
 about 30 files, it's not quick and easy.

 Douglas,

 If you made some changes in bassoon.ly (namely changing the key to c),
 then you need to compile bassoon-a4.ly to get the [modified] bassoon
 only part.

 If you want the [modified] full conductor score, then you need to
 compile score-a4.ly as well.


Hi Xavier,

Right, this is what I'm doing. I'm compiling bassoon-letter.ly to get
the bassoon part output, and score-letter.ly to get the full
conductor's score output. Accidentals show up in the bassoon part, but
not the conductor's score. I'll work on building a minimal example, as
James suggested. The score for the 2nd movement has accidentals in it,
so maybe that'll help me figure the problem out.

Thanks!
doug.
