Re: Frescobaldi... panic alternatives?
And while you are about to extend the 'Easier Editing' section: maybe for the Mac users in particular one might want to add the combination of TeXShop/LaTeX and Skim/Preview. I had a Mac until about 12 years ago when I started to use LilyPond. That was on Mac OS 10.4, before I left the Apple universe for good in favor of Linux. But this combo worked very well for me, and both programs are still around, so that one can safely assume that it still is an option today. It is just good to know there are alternatives to Frescobaldi, and it would be convenient to have them mentioned in one place, so everyone can check them out.

Re: Fw: Frescobaldi ... panic alternatives?
Hi all, There are various alternatives around at least for Linux users, but there will certainly be different ones available for the Mac users as well. And who knows: maybe Frescobaldi will survive after all. And if it may stop working one day, it is good to know that at least you are not completely left in the wild. I have checked out the following ones for Linux: 1. Spontini (not so known maybe, but definitely worth a try) 2. Kate/Okular as a "team" with one-way point-and-click from Okular to Kate 3. Visual Studio Code with its LilyPond plugins/extensions All three are not exactly like Frescobaldi, but can certainly amply be adapted to individual needs into a good workspace. And then, of course, there is also lilypond-book, which I personally find a bit complicated - at least when you come from Frescobaldi. Steeper learning curve, but not impossible if you are determined and open to something new. So: don't panic (do not forget the towel either) and let us keep using Frescobaldi and enjoy as long as it will exist...

Re: Frescobaldi?
Would it maybe make things a bit easier to leave the whole MacOS business aside and take care of the Linux-specific stuff first? And what actually about Windows - out of curiosity. I myself am a Linux user (Mint), and so far Frescobaldi is still running flawlessly. And - another question out of curiosity: Could it be a workaround (if Qt5 would be officially retired and no longer be available in the repos of the "big" distros like Mint, Ubuntu and the like) if one used a distro for older computers which might stick to Qt5 much longer? At any rate the present state of affairs is really sad, since Frescobaldi just is a masterpiece of software for its purpose. I have looked at a couple of alternatives, but I was less convinced of them. Maybe in case Frescobaldi one day will not run any more, I need to return to a combination of a good text editor and a PDF viewer like I had many years ago when I was still a Mac user. I had TeXShop and Skim, and that worked well enough. And then I also sometimes used LilyPondTool which in the meantime is defunct as well, but was a similar approach to editing LilyPond files as Frescobaldi. This is the moment when I wish I'd be a programmer, but I am afraid the learning curve for helping out with Frescobaldi would be way to steep for me...

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
Not quite yet: I do not want the 3/4 to appear in the left hand where
for this part there is no actual meter change. But I think you put me
on the right track: the solution is that you need to add \omit
Staff.TimeSignature before the second 3/4. Then the only the first 3/4
is shown.
Thank you so much for your helpfulness. It's always satifying for both
sides if you can say afterwards: 'case solved'.

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
> Is there a reason you are writing...
Yes there is. Let me explain, because from what you have seen so far,
this is not obvious.
What I am typesetting is an Italian violin piece from a manuscript from
around 1800. Back then it seems that our modern triplet notation were
unknown in Italy or did not exist yet. Composers instead just wrote a
meter change - in my case from 3/4 to 9/8 and back where it was no
longer necessary. But they only notated this meter change in the
part(s) where it was necessary. I other parts they just went on with
the initial meter. Like that it was clear nevertheless for a musician
that the 9/8 meant triple subdivision to a beat instead of the standard
even subdivision.
Since I am writing a score (trying to keep the original notation), I
have a pseudo-polymetric setup in those places, and that's why I had
the idea of scaling the rhythm in there: if I dont, Lilypond gets it
wrong in the 9/8 bars, of course, because it expects six eighth notes
to a bar instead of nine.
Of course these things are easier to implement in an individual part
(or I just could simply turn to triplets) than in a score, but maybe I
mentally made it too complicated, and there does exist a better and
more efficient way.
I can confirm that your suggestion vs. my weirdo code in my test file
produces exactly the same result, and that it is the intended one
indeed. The question is only: will it work as well in my score. I still
have to try and see, and I will report what will happen...
In the score, if you look at the screenshot again, you can see that
the two upper parts temporarily need that pseudo meter change, whereas
the bass part keeps going in 3/4. What I initially have typed before
asking here worked alright except for the fact that at the switch back
to 3/4 there was no 3/4 again, although I had written "\time 3/4", and
I could not figure out why.

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
I have messed around with this little lab specimen here, and I have
found a solution, but it is weird. You obviously (after having scaled
some rhythm just once) have to explicitly unscale the rhythm e v e r y
time you want it to appear in the staff. I have extended the example
with a short quote from the piece I am typesetting. this is what
obviously works:

If you just type "\time 3/4" at the end for instance, you won't get
your time signature shown. At least this prodecure is completely
unintuitive, I think.

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
What you suggest sounds all so common-sense, but LilyPond still does
not get it...
If I implant "\omit Score.TimeSignature" and "\undo \omit
Score.TimeSignature" into my code instead of the previous commands, I
get this - see screenshot.
But if I do something really basic like:
\version "2.24.2"
\language "deutsch"
\relative c'' {
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\undo \omit Score.TimeSignature
\time 3/4 c4 c c c2 c4
\bar "|."
}
it works as expected. It really seems to have something to do with the
scaled rhythms - that is my guess.
Unfortunately my exact situation is not covered in the NR - at least I
could not find anything.

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
If I do this, I get other unwanted results - see screenshot. The
problem is that I am switching back and forth between scaled and non-
scaled rhythm. And as you will notice, the 6/4 only appears in the
piano staff and n o t in the top parts. And the 3/4 also does not
appear (although I think it should) in the top part like in bars 195
and 197...
Is there no simple way to just toggle "\override
Score.TimeSignature.stencil = ##f " ?

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
This time w i t h screenshot attached - sorry about that... Delete
the previous one ;-)
Unfortunately this does not work - because I have tried exactly this
one, and there is no time signature. I attach a screenshot of the
passage. My piece is in 3/4, and in the top part in bar 185, I have to
do some rhythmical scaling, whereas the other parts continue in 3/4. I
could as well have written triplets, of course, to achieve the same
musical result, but I wanted to keep the original 'flavor'.
I bar 199, for the top part, I want to revert to the original 3/4, but
\time 3/4 does not do the trick. It even does not show a time signature
which is different from the previous one, although LilyPond typesets it
ok. As you will notice, I have set a (nonsensical) 6/4 signature there
in all the parts for testing purposes.
There must be some other mechanism involved which prevents the time
signature from being indicated, but which one?
Here's the top part code for the passage in the screenshot:
> d2.

Re: Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
Unfortunately this does not work - because I have tried exactly this
one, and there is no time signature. I attach a screenshot of the
passage. My piece is in 3/4, and in the top part in bar 185, I have to
do some rhythmical scaling, whereas the other parts continue in 3/4. I
could as well have written triplets, of course, to achieve the same
musical result, but I wanted to keep the original 'flavor'.
I bar 199, for the top part, I want to revert to the original 3/4, but
\time 3/4 does not do the trick. It even does not show a time signature
which is different from the previous one, although LilyPond typesets it
ok. As you will notice, I have set a (nonsensical) 6/4 signature there
in all the parts for testing purposes.
There must be some other mechanism involved which prevents the time
signature from being indicated, but which one?
Here's the top part code for the passage in the screenshot:

Force LilyPond to show same time signature again
Hello all, I look for a way to force LilyPond to show the same time signature again, although there is no change - just as a reminder. I could not find anything in the NR and in the Snippet Repository. Grateful for any suggestion how to achieve this.
Re: Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
I have (just completely accidentally, with a little help from the Breeze theme color scheme) discovered a keyboard shortcut for switching back and forth between the editor and the Music View. I think that it is undocumented, and strange it is, too. Here it is: * from editor to Music View: press CTRL+TAB 5 times or until the Music View scroll bar is not greyed out any more. In Breeze for example, it turns light blue. The editor scroll bar turns grey at the same time. * from Music View to editor: press CTRL+Shift+TAB 5 times or until the editor's scroll bar is no longer greyed out, but Music View's is. This is a crazy thing, but it seems to work... No mouse needed.

Re: Frescobaldi: Keyboard shortcut for toggling between editor and music view?
Maybe I was not clear enough in what I said: Of course the code should be visible all the time. What I mean is the following: When you have Frescobaldi open with its split window, there is always one of the two halves active and reacts to input. Say, you are in the editor, but want to go to a different page of your doc in the music view, you always have to click into the Music View half of Frescobaldi's window in order to activate it, so you can use a keyboard shortcut there. And when you have done this and want to go back to the editor, you have to click again into the editor pane to activate that one for more input. I am looking for a keyboard shortcut for activating whatever pane I want to be in for input instead of having to click all the time, because LilyPond is mostly keyboard work. The mouse (at least with me) is hardly in use...

Re: Incipit with default noteheads possible?
That 'manual' solution is absolutely good enough for my purpose.
Furthermore it is easy to understand and to modify if necessary. I'll
adopt it for my project.
At any rate: thank you all for your very valuable advice and hints. I
already suspected as well that \incipit is hardcoded to mensural style
without knowing anything about its inner workings. You can assume it,
though, from its reluctance to accept or process any attempts at
changing the result.

Re: Incipit with default noteheads possible?
This works for the note heads, but if there happen to be accidentals around (in my project this is the case), they remain mensural style. Is there another override for this, too?

Incipit with default noteheads possible?
Hello all,
I am typesetting a piece where the violin plays in a different tuning.
Of course you have to indicate the tuning before the music starts. I
would like to implement this with the \incipit command, if possible,
but there is one downside: you get your notes in the incipit with
mensural noteheads. I have tried an override ( \override
Staff.NoteHead.style = #'default ), but this does not seem to work.
Here is my code example:
\version "2.24.2"
\language "deutsch"
Incipit = \relative c'' {
\clef treble \time 4/4
\omit Staff.TimeSignature
\hide Stem
%\mark "A D FIS CIS"
\override Staff.NoteHead.style = #'default
< a, d fis cis' >
}
noten = \relative c'' {
\clef treble \key f \major \time 4/4
c4 d e f \bar "|."
}
\score {
\new Staff
<<
\incipit \Incipit
\set Staff.instrumentName = "Violino discordato"
\noten
>>
\layout {
indent = 4\cm
incipit-width = 1\cm
}
}
Do note-head styles just not work with \incipit, did I miss something,
or is there a way to obtain the desired result?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated...
Re: Can I define custom bar lengths in LilyPond?
Thank you so much for your answer. I was talking about the dimensional
width of a bar. The situation in my "fat" bar is complicated, because
one singer in a recit enters while the other one is on her last note.
So I had the problem of accommodating the lyrics and moving them
around, so they are well aligned on the sheet. And because with
LilyPond's standard behaviour there still was not enough space, I
inserted a line break after the "fat" bar. That way I have forced
LilyPond to only put two bars in the line instead of three. The result
looks OK, but I hope there is a much more elegant way to achieve this.
Here is the code snippet (hope this is enough for evaluation):
... c4 ( h8.\trill ) c16
<<
{ r8 \clef bass \tempo "Recitativo" \stemDown \autoBeamOff
\once \override TextScript.padding = #1.7
g,8^\markup { "Basso" }_\markup \fontsize #1.5
{ \halign #-0.9 "Auch indem" } g e \break}
\\
{ \once \override TextScript.padding = #1.7
c''2_\markup \fontsize #1.5 { \halign #-0.7 "Stamm!" } }
>>
\appoggiatura d,,8 cis4 ...
I also attach a screenshot.
Thank you also for mentioning the \newSpacingSection command, which I
did not know. I have looked in the documentation, but the example there
is about a different time signature again. In my example it does not
change, and I wonder how I can take advantage of the command.
SpacingSpanner? uniform-stretching? But how exactly? For my LilyPond
knowledge at the moment this goes too deep under the hood...

Can I define custom bar lengths in LilyPond?
Hello LilyPond users, I wonder if there is a possibility to define a custom bar length, thus for once cancelling LilyPond's automatic insertion of bar lines. I have a complicated measure here with quite a bit of markup to accommodate in one bar. I have worked out a solution which is maybe good enough, but it contains lots of tweaks in order to squeeze everything into the automatically assigned bar length. If I could define my own bar lengths, I would get more space in the bar, so I hope at least. My search in the documentation did not yield a result for me, but maybe I did not look in the right places. Hopefully someone here can troubleshoot me. Any help is much appreciated.
Define custom bar length
How to move an ornament vertically
Dear all, I wonder how you can "talk" LilyPond into moving a dashPlus symbol above a slur. Without any tweaking it always puts the dashPlus under a slur, whereas if you replace the dashPlus by a \trill command, the trill symbol is always placed above the slur. If I move around the slur like this: \override Slur.positions = #'(2 . 2) there is a collision between the beginning of the slur and the dashPlus. I am sure there is a way to fix this, but I have not been able to find it. Hopefully there will be someone here who can show me the solution. Thank you in advance for taking the time... Hajo

Obscure message in Frescobaldi
This is not about a Lilypond problem, strictly speaking, but it is
related indirectly, and since here there are very many LilyPond users
around here, I also hope to address at least a couple of Frescobaldi
users here with an unanswered question, hoping that someone can solve
this for me:
I am localising Frescobaldi, and I am stuck with an obscure message
which I have never seen using it. It says:
Clear Grab
Since it is hard to translate something you don't understand: what is
this about? What is the context? What has been grabbed and can be
cleared?
The message entry can be found in the messages.py file in the i18n
folder of Frescobaldi:

Thanks a lot for any suggestions to help me understand...
Re: Subject: Re: Lilypond in Termux (Android)
Thank you very much for this step-by-step guide. I followed the instructions, and now I can also write Lily files on my mobile. Not the most comfortable thing, but very useful for little things on the fly anyway! With a Bluetooth keyboard it's certainly much better, but for a first try I really used my built-in mobile keyboard, and that was a bit awkward.

Different time signatures on staves bug?
Hello all,
I need to typeset a lied (voice/piano) where temporarily the time
signatures change from 4/4 for both parts to 2/4 for the voice and to
6/8 for the piano and back to 4/4 again.
In the NR there is a nice example how to achieve this with equal
measure lenghts for the different time signatures.
I have tried to apply this model to my use case, but something does not
work as expected. The problem shows when you do not have have all the
same values in your last bar. In that case Lilypond only accepts less
than 6 crotchets there. Whatever I have tried with
\set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = x/x
did not work, and I have no idea what is wrong here. To make things
worse: when I fiddle with the NR example and add a line with not all
the same values in 9/8, the same thing happens, too (see the added
third line there), and it even reacts to markup.
I hope that it is not a bug, but that I may have got something wrong.
But if it is one, the example is unusable as a global model.
Could someone here, please, with more experience than I have, help me?
Otherwise I am stuck with my project for the moment... I attach a
minimal example.
Thank you very much in advance

tempo marks
hello out there, I am a LilyPond novice and just getting familiar with it. But one question is there which does not seem to be answered in a satisfactory way: How do I insert a tempo indication such as Allegro, Adagio and the like above the beginning of the staff? I'd be very grateful if anybody could show me how this # can be done. Hajo ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
