Re: (Pheraps) a not difficult way for modifying slurs with any SVG editor and feed Lilypond with modifications
I get the impression that most of the serious Lilypond users want to use only Lilypond for editing their scores. I used Lilypond with Inkscape for years, for my purposes it was an ideal combination since I could create absolutely any graphic effect or edit on the scores; no extra programming required, just editing with Inkscape. I think the reason that more people don't work that way is because they can publish more easily using Lilypond alone, extract parts, or make changes in the music any time.

Re: Phrasing Slur disappearing
Hello Dan, thanks for your effort. Unfortunately it is not the solution. The score counts many multi-voice sequences as in my example 2. Many of which are printed correctly and some do not. I could not find the logic behind it. However, your suggestion triggered something. Don't ask me why, but adding \change Staff = "upper" at the end of the first measure in example 2 solved the problem. Thanks.

Phrasing Slur disappearing
Dear All,
at a certain point in my score the phrasing slur disappears.
In the attached example 1, two measures taken out of the score, the
phrasing slur is printed as it should.
As soon as I add the preceding measure, in example 2, the phrasing slur
disappears.
All with the same warning while compiling.
Some advice is appreciated.

Re: Unexpected Stem behaviour
Dear All, I found a partial solution to the issues as mentioned in my
previous Email.
See this attachment.
By adding a new voice the stem in the upperpart is now correct (issue 1).
However, issue 2 now is different: the ties are longer and extend over
the chord.
Any suggestion?

I noticed two issues as in the attached sample.
1. The stems in red do not match the coding, length should be 8 in stead
of 4
2. The tie on the red note seems to precede the note, not to follow it
to the next.
Any suggestions are welcome.

How to get ties between voices
Dear All,
maybe you can help solving this problem.
I've attached a code with two examples.
Example 1 is the desired output, except for the missing ties in the
right hand of the last quarter.
Example 2 is an alternative. Now the ties are correct, but the beams
between right and left hand are splitted.
The notation of the 32nd in Example 1 is the preferred notation by the
composer.
Is there a solution to get the missing ties?
Thanks for any comment.

Gerard

Unexpected stem behaviour
Dear All,
I noticed some weird behaviour with stem directions after compiling
(both on Linux and Windows).
Consider these two lines of code from a score:
\version 2.18.2
% bar 30
\relative bes'' << {bes4 c d} \\ {\relative bes'' {bes32 f d bes}
\change Staff = "lower" {f,, d bes f} \change Staff = "upper" {c''' bes
f c} \change Staff = "lower" {bes f c bes} \change Staff = "upper" {d''
bes f d} \change Staff = "lower" {bes f d bes} \change Staff = "upper"}>>
% bar 32
\relative f''' << {f4 e d} \\ {\relative f''' {f32 d bes f} \stemUp
\change Staff = "lower" {d, bes f d} \stemNeutral \change Staff =
"upper" {e'' d bes e,} \change Staff = "lower" {d bes e, d } \change
Staff = "upper" {d'' bes f d} \change Staff = "lower" {bes f d bes}
\change Staff = "upper"}>>
The desired stem direction is "up" for the top Voice quarter and 4*down
and 4*up for the 32nd notes of each quarter.
In bars 1 - 29 this compiles perfectly.
In bar 30 it compiles as 8*down for the 32nd notes.
In bar 31 the first quarter the stem direction if forced to up on the
lower staff and reverted to produce the correct stem direction.
Now also the stem direction of the succeeding quarters are correct. They
changed automatically??
And then in bar 32 it compiles again as 8*down.
Did I run into a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks for any comment.

Gerard

request for programming advice
Hello, About 10 years ago I wrote some Java applets which allow a user to test their understanding of intervals ( http://homepage.eircom.net/~gerfmcc/interval.html and triads ( http://homepage.eircom.net/~gerfmcc/chords.html) and minor scales ( http://homepage.eircom.net/~gerfmcc/pitchEtc2.html). They work well, but it seems that Java applets are now no longer the best way to make programs available on web pages. It seems that the HTML5 canvas is most common now. I'm not an experienced programmer but I think the logic for generating the tests should be easy enough to transpose from java to javascript, however for display I'm wondering what a reasonably simple way to transform the note data into music notation is. I used transparent .gifs for the original programs and shifted them into place, but I suspect that Lilypond or something similar would be better. No doubt people here have worked on this sort of problem before, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

music -
I can't talk about dyslexia, but for people who don't have that problem sight-reading is usually pretty hard too. How much time do you spend per day practising sight-reading? It's hard to improve at all unless you're doing consistent daily work on it. The rate of Improvement is usually closely related to the time spent, so fifteen minutes per day for a year will usually show less improvement than an hour per day for a year. It's also important to work on material that isn't too far beyond your current ability. There's little benefit in working on music that is written in two staves if you can't read one stave well.

Re: svg output
Thanks very much gents, it is a font problem. I opened the svg file with a text editor and replaced Lilypond's Century Schoolbook L with Times New Roman for all text occurrences, which solved the problem. I guess in order to avoid having to do that I need to make Inkscape see the Century Schoolbook L font? How come Lilypond can find the font but Inkscape cannot? By the way, I presume I'm top-posting.

Re: Trying once more.
I haven't tried this, but it seems to me that the relevant snippet is
likely to be:
Suppressing warnings for clashing note columns
If notes from two voices with stems in the same direction are placed at the
same position, and both voices have no shift or the same shift specified,
the error message ‘warning: ignoring too many clashing note columns’ will
appear when compiling the LilyPond file. This message can be suppressed by
setting the 'ignore-collision property of the NoteColumn object to #t.
Please note that this does not just suppress warnings but stops LilyPond
trying to resolve collisions at all and so may have unintended results
unless used with care.

Hopefully this won't puke on the list. What is the best way to handle
something like this:
Where the notes in a chord are of unequal length.
I've tried using polyphony and forcing the stem direction, but I've
gotten
problems with very small misalignments in the stems, and in this case it
would be nice if the direction of the note heads could be handled
automatically.
I've tried searching the documentation and not found anything obviously
relevant.

Hi,
for writing chords, with different NoteHeads I'd use
\tweak #'duration-log #...
in the chord.
But it does not work in all cases with cross-stems:
If the lowest note of a upper chord is tweaked the cross-staff-stem
disappears.
I added a workaround. But it is a _very_ _poor_ one.

Re: [Frescobaldi] Music view sometimes doesn't open
On Mon, Aug 20, 2012 at 5:12 AM, James Harkins jamshar...@gmail.com wrote: First off, I've switched from Emacs LilyPond-mode to Frescobaldi 2. Amazing, incredible work! SO much easier to write. (And I love the ease of updating via git.) But... I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a small confusing behavior in Frescobaldi 2. Sometimes, when opening a ly file, the corresponding PDF (which does exist on disk) is not simultaneously opened in the Music View. But, sometimes it does open. I haven't been able to figure out any consistent criterion that would cause one behavior or the other. My best guess is that the source file might have a later modified timestamp than the PDF, but I don't have solid proof of that. I guess the ideal behavior I'd like to see is to open the PDF every time. If the source file was modified later, an overlay could appear in the music view saying that the music view might be out of date and the user should re-render (ctrl-m). It might also make sense to disable clicking on the notes in that case, since there is no guarantee that the PDF links will point to the right place in the source file anymore. If that isn't feasible, then it would be better to clear the music view and show some text to explain why the view is empty. Here's an example of where the current behavior gets really confusing: 1. Open one ly file. The music view shows the PDF corresponding to that file. 2. Open another ly file, but for some reason, the music view doesn't update. Now you're looking at the source code for one file on the left and the rendered result for a different file on the right, with no warning in the interface that there is any discrepancy. ! This is picking a nit, I admit, and it's easily worked around by re-rendering. But it's not ideal behavior, and if it's a very big project that takes several minutes to render, the annoyance factor would increase. This doesn't change my opinion of Frescobaldi as an [expletive deleted] brilliant editor! Seriously, a real joy to use. hjh I recall having this problem when using jEdit; perhaps it occurs when the .pdf has been moved from its original folder, or when the .ly and .pdf are in different folders?

Re: New question - Threepenny Opera. Urgent, please help!
Well, if you can't transpose at sight yourself and you haven't got time to write it out in full then you have several options. First, learn to play it in the original key, then write the chord symbols in the NEW key above the piano part and learn to play your own arrangement in the new key. This is the best option for your development as a musician. Second, get a student to write it out in full; he/she will do it cheap. Third, as David Kastrup said, you could borrow or rent a keyboard (and amp/speakers?) with a transpose button for the performance. Of course it depends on whether that's appropriate for the gig. Fourth, hire a more experienced musician to play/transpose it for the performance. Finally, if none of the above work, get back to me to write it out for you. This will be the most expensive option. My advice is, if you can't manage option one then hire the more experienced pianist.

a JEdit/LilyPondTool behaviour
Hello, Just wondering about a behaviour when I'm using the PDF viewer in the excellent JEdit/LilyPondTool. With some scores, when I click on a note in the PDF I am returned to that note in the .ly file; with other scores this does not occur. In both cases I have the Follow caret check box selected. Why does this happen, and can I ensure that clicking a note always returns me to the appropriate point in the .ly file?

Re: alpha test, horizontal spacing

Personally, I have a neutral opinion on the aggressive tucking. Well, opinions change over time. It is a subtle thing, but I think the old naive spacing around accidentals makes an easier-to-read page. Here are two dense measures of Debussy that are a little difficult to space. Moving the notes over the clef-change is a good thing, of course. The stem-accidental collisions do not occur unless the beam crosses staffs, even if it is kneed, so they might be considered part of the cross-staff issues. The spacing of the first three 16ths is probably a cross-staff artifact as well. However, stems of cross-staff beams will always be special cases in collision resolution, so they can cross a long hairpin crescendo for example. So I suggest that keeping accidentals clear of other note columns might be wisest. More simply, in the last three 16th notes (demisemiquavers) in the first measure, I want the accidental to give me a bit of extra space for readability. I was able to create a small example showing a case where notes with an accidental in between were actually spaced closer together. (I imagined the new spacing engine getting a little too excited: can I fit under the neighboring accidental? Yes! Oh boy lets slide these together!!) So I favor less aggressive tucking of noteheads under other noteheads and their attached accidentals, if that is an option.

When I first sent the message I didn't configure my current email client to use my registered address. As I don't see my post on the list I assume it didn't get through. If it did please ignore this second post ] Dear community, it seems I have yet another problem with automatic beaming (similar to problems I read about recently). What I want LilyPond to do is to beam consecutive 32th notes in a 4/4 time in groups of 4 (i.e. 8 groups of 1/8 length each). From what I understood from the manual I should simply have to \set beatLength = #(ly:make-moment 1 8) to achieve the desired result. But as you see in the attached example LilyPond gives me four groups of the desired length and puts the rest of the bar under one beam. This is the same with different beatLengths (in the example I kept only 3 32, but it's the same for 1 16 or 3 16 etc.). In \time 5/4 everything works as expected In \time 3/4 I have one beam for each quarter note, regardless of the beatLength. I also looked at beam-settings.scm but can't understand if this is an issue of correctly overriding the beamSettings (as I have a very hard time understanding this anyway) or a bug. For me it looks like after some counter variable has reached 4 (the numerator?) somethings goes wrong with the beaming mechanism. Thanks in advance for any hints (as I really don't look forward beaming half the piece (the 2nd parts of each bar ;-) ) manually).

override lyric font size
Hello,
Here I want to change the font size of the lyrics. I've placed
\override #' font-size = # -2
before \addlyrics, just after it, inside the brackets, and various other
combinations with . How do I make the lyrics smaller here?
And probably more important, is there a way I should be looking at this
problem that will allow me to figure similar ones out by myself?
(example: I can't figure out why the extra { } is required inside \score { }.)
\version 2.12.2
\layout {
ragged-right = ##f
}
\score {
{
\set Staff.instrumentName = 1
\clef bass
\time 2/4
\relative c {

}
\addlyrics {One and Two One and Two }
}
}
Thanks,

re: vertical spacing between scores
I used these:
\paper {
between-system-space = 15\mm
between-system-padding = 0\mm
}
However, I also used a page title and this:
#(set-global-staff-size 26)
It caused a number of problems, one of which is that the
distance between scores did not increase or decrease in
a predictable way. Also the distance between the title and
first score increased an awful lot. After much tinkering with
the numbers I got an acceptable result, but it would be nice
to know why things were not predictable. I'm pretty much a
newbie, so hopefully one of the experts will step in here.

crankiness
I've been looking at the Re: date in footer thread; I can understand how the experts get annoyed. They're doing lots of volunteer work to develop what is a really beautiful (but horrendously difficult to learn) program, and figure that the rest of us should be doing our bit to sort out the documentation and snippets.I'm sure we'd all like to help, but as a new user I think it would be presumptuous of me to start rewriting/reorganizing documentation, don't you think? However, I must dispute one comment that I read in the thread: The current person responsible for LSR also happens to be the most active patch-reviewer. Do you *really* want me to ask him to stop working on patches (i.e. new features, bug fixes, etc) and waste his time playing web-2.0 games that anybody with TWO BLOODY WEEKS OF LILYPOND EXPERIENCE could do?! The critical word in the above quote is waste. Although I'm not a professional programmer (I'm a piano teacher), at one time I dipped my toes in the water and completed a MSc in multimedia development. I came away from that experience with the conviction that good documentation is critically important. I believe that If Lilypond is to develop the widest possible user base and get the recognition it deserves the clarity and conciseness of the documentation is perhaps as important as the application itself. So, like I said, Lilypond is a really great application, but learning to use it is exceptionally hard work. MUCH harder than learning Music Publisher, Notator, Cubase Score, Finale, etc.Please be patient with the users; we're trying to learn it not just because it's free, but because it's excellent.___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: crankiness
Having worked on the docs for 4 years and approximately three thousand hours, you really don't need to convince me. Just convince others -- and perhaps yourself -- that it's worth getting involved. My work at this point is a meta-contributor: I contribute (teach) people how to contribute to lilypond. If nobody steps forward to do the work, then it doesn't get done. Cheers, - Graham I haven't done much beyond the elementary stuff, but I'll look through the snippets pages more closely.

Re: Fingering multiple voices above the stave
order in which the fingering indications appear above the stave doesn't match the pitch order of the notes they are applied to. Just to be clear, that wasn't happening for me... the order was fine, it was just that the fingering indications in one voice were colliding with note heads/stems of another voice ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Fingering multiple voices above the stave
Hi everyone,
I'm having a bit of trouble fingering a chorale-like work for piano.
The upper staff has mostly two voices, and it looks best if I finger
them both above the stave. My first approach was to use \override
Fingering #'direction = #UP for the second voice, but then the
fingerings collide with note heads/stems in the first voice. (See
fingfing.ly/.png below)
I had a look on this list and the manual and I see that some people
are using \tweak #'extra-offset to do this sort of thing, but that
seems like way too much work, I have to manually position everything.
So I had the idea of attaching both fingerings to the topmost voice
(fingfing2) using something like a'-\markup { \override
#'(baseline-skip . 1.5) \finger \column { 5 2 }}. That seems to take
care of the positioning quite nicely for me. I'm happy with this
solution, but it's still cumbersome to enter.
So I've got two questions:
1. Can someone help me write a macro/function to make this simpler? It
would be nice to be able to write something like a^\multiFinger { 2 3
}, for example. I'm sure this is possible, but I've spent a few hours
on it and I'm not really getting far.
2. Or, alternatively, has someone got a better solution?
Thanks,
Gerard

Re: Fingering multiple voices above the stave
hi which version are you using? when i compile your code wit version 2.12.2 i do not get collisions. I'm using 2.12.1 ; the most obvious problem was the 2 on the final c sharp being printed underneath the a of the topmost voice, is that fixed in 2.12.2. That would be nice! if you feel stems and fingerings are to close you could add some extraspace with \override Fingering #'extra-offset = #'( -0.5 . 0) Thanks very much for that, I'll give it a try. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

improve spacing between chords
Hello,
for just two bars in the score I need to change the spacing of the chords.
The right hand starts with a 16-rest followed by chords-8.
The left hand starts with chords-8.
This alternating horizontal spacing should be maintained throughout the two
bars.
The standard settings however do clutter the chords.
Is there a solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Gerard

RE: How to split autobeam
Hello Gilles,
Thanks again for your reply and for putting me in the right direction!
Considering your question: why use the ... construct?: it was the only
way of getting an error-free compilation of the composition.
Your question however triggered something and after a while I noticed a
minor difference in my notation. I added the duration of the notes of the
chord to the first note of the chord, so within the ... In that case
compilation only is error-free using the double marks ... And then
obviously the [.. ..] construct is not valid.
I moved the duration of the notes outside the marks using the single marks
.. and now it works fine!
Thanks again.

Onderwerp: Re: How to split autobeam
Hi.
Here's one example that produces the wrong beaming:
right = \context Voice = discant
{
\clef violin
\time 4/4
\relative b' { b8. d fis b bes,16 d f bes b,8 d fis b
b,8 d fis b
cis,8 eis gis cis cis,8 eis gis cis d,8 f a d d,8 f a
d }|
}
Hmm, this is still not a complete code: The \score part is missing.
Why do you use the ... construct? A chord is created with something
like
c e g4
I.e. with single brackets. Also, the duration is specified after the closing
bracket.
The compiler produces the correct beaming between the b8. and bes,16
chord and between the two b,8 chords.
With the default auto-beam setting the next 4 chords are beamed
together. In this case the cis,8 chords should
Be beamed together and the two d,8 chords should be beamed.
You didn't tell why the solution I proposed does not satisfy your needs.
Similarly to my previous post, your code above can turned into:
%---
right = \context Voice = discant{
\clef violin
\time 4/4
\relative b' {
b d fis b8. bes d f bes16 b d fis b8 b, d fis b8
cis eis gis cis8[ cis eis gis cis8] d f a d8[ d f a d8] |
}
}
\score {
\right
}
%---
See attached pdf.
I've tried severla options, for example adding \nobeam to the first
d,8 chord. As a result the last two chords are
Beamed together, but the first two chords (cis,8) are then separated,
not beamed.
I agree that this behaviour looks strange. Maybe someone else can give an
explanation or confirm that this is a bug.
Also tried overriding the default auto-beam, but that didnot produce
the correct result (yet).
In this, I guess that the default behaviour should be what you expect,
without resorting to this.
Hope you can help or point me in the direction where to look for a
solution.
Again, what's wrong with using square (beaming) brackets? Something like
a8[ b] c[ d]
produces the right result.
Gilles
