Re:status of mutopia project
Hello, one thing I missed last time we were discussing the future of Mutopia, was to thank Chris for his wonderful work in recent years. I wanted to write a post to this group, but remembered that friends, which I wanted to draw to Lilypond are also interested in my reflections. So I posted them on my blog: Q: Is there a future for free Lilypond scores and Mutopia? at: http://hajos-kontrapunkte.blogspot.com/2011/04/q-is-there-future-for-free-lilypond.html Here are some points concerning Mutopia: (copy and paste) What I would propose: - The depositary should be locate on one site. - Contributors should be responsible for their files - Contributers should identify themselves by real names - Contributers should be able with the help of software to produce from their ly-file a uniform presentation of the music (comparable to Mutopia) - Contributors should be able to make their own corrections to their submitted file. - Mutopia files should be converted and write protected - Software: Could be a Wiki (with login) or Google code / project (like solfege resources or . Frescobaldi) or ... (but please not git) Hajo --- ...

Why do Lilyond Engravers have inhibitions to store their score in Mutopia?
Hello, looking at the beautiful Reubke score I ask myself again why do I have to add another link to my list, when we have a working repository for music: Mutopia. Following closely discussions on this mailing-list you will notice that tons of scores are engraved with Lilypond. (Applause!) And most of this music seems to be without any copyright restrictions. But I can seldom find them in Mutopia. And I learned a lot from the Lilypond snippets AND from the scores in Mutopia. Beside that you will find a lot of really good music over there. So my questions: - Why do Lilyond Engravers have inhibitions to store their score in Mutopia? - Are there any hidden fences which I am not able to see? - Are the copyright-restrictions the reason for keeping scores hidden? - Is Mutopia not worth contributing? - Why is Mutopia not the official music code repository for Lilypond? - Or am I misleaded?

Hello Wilbert, It was not my intention to kind of force you to submit the score to Mutopia. It was more a general reflection about the interactions between Lilypond and Mutopia.

Re: lilypond-book setup for windows
Hello, thanks for the input. After some hours of working with latex and several editors on windows and mac I decided to take the easy road: OpenOffice with the OOoLilypond Macro. It works not always as I thought, but with time I will find some workarounds. Three reasons for the decision: 1. When I write a text I want to focus on the contents. I dont want to see all these formating tags. It is for me also much harder to proof read the text. 2. I am used to work with strongly structured contents.So I will develop my stylesheet and stick to it. It will be similar to the Lilypond-documentation. 3. Most importent: I have the possibility to export the notation and the text to pdf, html and xml. So when there is a need, I can switch back to LaTex. By the way this is for me the easiest way to produce incipits for my wiki. Thanks again Hajo --- ... indessen wandelt harmlos droben das Gestirn On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 2:37 PM, Carl D.

Re: New LilyPondTool version available for testing
Hello, I installed the new lilypondtool and the new version of jedit (r16) on two different pcs. I have the following problems: - the file LilyHelp.jar was only in the version which could be installed via the plugin manager. I have manualy installed afterwards the new version. The help version was 11.37 and I found no way to update this. - in the Lilypond menu Source editing - Converting to Lily midi2lily all went ok, but no output was shown in the editor. When I translated the files by hand everything was fine. On some short files I had no problems with a longer one I could bring jedit to a halt, which could only be solved by killing the process: - loaded the *.ly file into jedit - made a some corrections - compiled the code (no errors in the console, 3-6 erros at the bottom of jedit) - looked at the preview output - went to another page and pointed with the mouse on a note - was ported to the note in jedit - made correction, compiled: Got the error: Warnung: Systeme passen nicht auf Seite -- Zwischen-System-Abstand wird ignoriert - And when I looked at the preview it automaticaly tried to show page 2 and stopped the program.

Re: Pagelayout for incipits
Although I do not have yet a complete solution but a starter, it were three hints: 1. Introduction What symbols to engrave (The first time I understood how the interpreter works) 2. Music representation 3. 4.1 An example of a musicological document I was caught by my templates i.e. Page layout. They worked only for one piece of music per page and I didnt understand the meaning of { }. So combining several { } I suddenly had several incipits on the page. Beside that although I contributed a lot of Bach scores to Mutopia I only used the standard notation and left aside all thoughs tweakings which are described in 4. Tweaking outputfile:///D:/lilypond-2.11.65-1.documentation/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning-big-page.html#Tweaking-output . I wanted to have my ly-files clean and understandable. So it was at least for me easier to adapt them to newer versions of Lilypond or to be true: I didnt want to bother with engravers etc. I just wanted to see my music and play it ;-) The actual output was and is not so relevant to me as long as all notes and attributes are represented.

Re: musicxml2ly
Hello, although I have pleaded in the past to develop xml-conversion I must admit that I was not aware about the technical and legal conflicts. - -) Third, Recordare claims copyright on the typesetting of those MusicXML files, so we can't simply copy them into our build tree for testing purposes (Michael Good, the author of the MusicXML spec wrote me last year that if I ask them and tell them on which website the files would be placed, they would grant us permission, but due to the open source nature of LilyPond, I doubt that we can really fulfill this. I simply don't want to copy anything into the source tree which cannot be freely copied and published/uploaded somewhere else). I was always astonished about Dolets and Finales politics in that after a time you had to purchase the additional licence. But now I understand. On the other hand the acceptance of musicxml- conversion from other scoresetting software seems at least disputable. Even if that is based on technical problems (note versus staff based orientation), conversions to other software than finale was always from loaded with problems to not useable. So it is for sure not a problem of Lilypond but the lack of acceptance of musicxml by other developers ( accept finale). So this could be a dead end road a la longue at least for us. And we could not sacrifice Creative Commons. It should be the other way round. So the only way I see in the moment is to enhance the midi-export so that we have a chance to use the music in another context.

My intensions as explained in other threads are different: As a musical Dilettant I have no orchestra or band at my disposal. So I use in the meantime solely Lilypond for the creation of scores. The export via MusicXML to Finale or Harmony Assitant serves only to be able to create a reasonable midi file which can be tweaked in a digital workstation to produce some music which is pleasing my ears.

Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista
No, I switched from Finale (7 Years) to Lilypond, but I use Lilypond only to write the score to have a basis to work with the music. And here is a problem : I can only export to midi not xml . So I export it to Finale (Human Playback from Robert Piéchaud) or Harmony Assistant (via Midi) and produce a decent playback using mostly Garritan samples. When it sounds good I export it back to a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) mostly using Samplitude to have an audible nice piece of music by tweaking the tracks a little more. And that was (is) the main reason why I switched after long years of Linux (Suse) back to XP. But this old XP Laptop is most of the time not online. Mails etc. will be done on a Mac or a Linuxmachine ;-) Hajo 2008/11/12 Tim Reeves [EMAIL PROTECTED] I also run Win Xp SP2 on my laptop (work provided) which is where I usually run Lilypond (typical .ly file compile times are about 5+/-2 seconds from my memory), but I have a Vista machine (newer, wife uses mainly) and an older machine running Ubuntu for now at home. I want to get her used to the idea of Linux and make the switch the next time Vista crashes hard ;-) Thanks for the information. Did you mean you switched from Lilypond back to some proprietary music software and that forced you to use Windows instead of Linux? I don't know what DAW is.

Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista
Trevor, I wouldnt look in the first place at problems of Lilypond. I presume that it is a problem of Vista which has too many processes running in the background. You will find, that nearly all programs run slower on this OS. And even when you only need 10 seconds it is too much compared to what the processor could manage. You have a machine with much more horsepower under the hood compared to the old systems. And this system performance should not be consumed by the OS. Of course a normal user working only with Vista will not notice the difference. If you have the possibilty to install XP on your laptop I am sure that you will be astonished what you computer will be able to perform. We have tried that with different programs on different machines and nearly always had success. Hajo 2008/11/13 Trevor Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mats, when I first obtained my laptop, c. March 08, I did a LilyPond installation with the then current 2.11 version on a clean system. So there were no lilypond font caches present. The performance was fine then and has been fine ever since. soon after, I tried various ways to cause the performance to degrade in an attempt to isolate the problem being experienced by others, but nothing I did had any effect - the performance always has been and still is good. In an attempt to isolate the problem again, I have just created a .fontconfig directory(empty, as I don't know what it should contain), downloaded 2.11.63 and reinstalled it. But it still compiles a 3-page file in just under 10 sec, (15 sec on first run). If I could ever get my system to run slowly we would have the answer, but now I'm out of ideas. Trevor Mats Bengtsson wrote Thursday, November 13, 2008 11:44 AM Trevor, perhaps it's the other way around, that you don't suffer from the problems, since you already have a working cache file. Have you tried removing all your cache files (of course, keeping a back-up in a safe place) and trying the latest installation? /Mats Trevor Daniels wrote: Jonathan The slowness is certainly not inherently due to Vista as LilyPond has always run fine under Vista here. The slowness issue was discussed at some length back in March 08 on both -user and -bug when it was determined that it was due to font building. This is almost certainly is cause of the recently reported slowness. Incidentally, a similar issue made LilyPond slow under XP too, and this was fixed with the 2.11.43 release. I don't understand the technical issues, but on Vista the fonts are contained in ~\.lilypond-fonts.cache-2. (To see these make sure you have the options set in Windows Explorer to Show hidden file and folders.) This should contain a number of smaller files (=2) and one large file, c. 800Kb on my system. Check the date/time the large file was last modified. It should only be changed infrequently (I don't know what triggers it.) If it changes on every LP run, then this is the cause of the slowness. Two of the smaller files should be rebuilt on the first run after a new install, which causes the this first run to take more time, around 20 secs more, than subsequent runs. So what might cause this incorrect font cache rebuild? In the past, one cause was an incorrect version of libfontconfig-1.dll but this is unlikely now as the appropriate version of this dll is included with every binary. Another possibility is that when this dll searches for the font cache it checks for an old cache first. The fonts used to be cached in ~\.fontconfig. If such a directory is present it might be worth trying deleting it or moving it to another directory.

It will be slow the first time it runs because it needs to build a font cache, but successive times should not be slow. On my Vista system, when I invoke Lilypond I get the GNU version notice, and then. it sits for almost 50 seconds, apparently doing NOTHING. Then it wakes up and processes the file. It's still usable, but it sure slows things down. For the sake of testing, I booted into my Vista Home Premium partition and installed the latest Lilypond binary from the download page. I ran a lilypond file once and it took about 90 seconds, then ran it a second time and it took more than 60 seconds. The same file on Linux compiles in less than 2 seconds. Honestly I don't know how anyone uses Vista as their main OS. This is a reasonably powerful laptop less than 6

Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista
Sorry, no chance. I have errased Vista from my system and they live happily ever after ... But to be correct: The little Thinkpadseries seem to have problems with Vista. That was one off the reasons why Lenovo officially provided a Downgradeversion from Vista to XP. We had similiar effects on other Thinkpad series. The Lilypond version was 2.11.5x (not so long ago) and Vista was right out of the box (not optimized).

Re: Converting lilypond to music xml
Hello, it has been discussed before and it has been excepted for future implementation. Have a look at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-08/msg00838.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-08/msg00838.html . Have a look at the whole thread. There are two additional links. I want to use it to tweek the midi code. Valentin: I believe you have a point (no matter how one can feel about the quality of computer-generated music). In general this may be discussed but lent your ear to examples of what has been accomplished with midi and the right sounds ;-). http://www.garritan.com/audio/index.html http://www.garritan.com/audio/index.html%20 And there is a lot of music on this page which is a direct output from Midifiles generated by notationsoftware. Cheers Hajo 2008/8/24 Alastair Irving [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello List I'd be very surprised if this hasn't been asked before, but searches of the archives haven't turned up anything useful. Is there any way of converting lilypond files into music xml? If not, are there any plans for such a tool? I use software to convert music into Braille, and it only accepts input in xml. Currently, my only method is to do OCR on the pdf output and then correct any errors, which seems rather ludicrous.

ly to musicxml
Hello, knowing that it has been discussed before, I want nevertheless express my interest in another exchange format than midi: ly to musicxml I have been working more than 6 years with Finale and switched to Lilypond several months ago. (See my contributions to Mutopia). There is really one thing I miss: A decend midi interpretation of the music with control not only over the melody but also the articulations and expressions. In the moment my main tool is Finale with *Robert* Piéchauds Human Playback and GPO (Garritans Personal Orchestra), JABB and the Gofriller. So what I do: 1. Write the LilyPond code 2. Produce a PDF-File 3. Use PDFtoMusic from Myriad to produce a Harmony Assistant file 4. With Harmony Assistant a produce a music-xml file 5. I load this file into Finale to produce a midifile where most of the musical expressions are interpreted 6. When I am in the mood I use a DAW to tune things up 7. Last but not least I can hear the music But you can imagine what gets lost and added to the original .ly file during theses transformations. Sometimes it is not useable and I have no desire to rewrite the score in Finale. Of course Lilyponds target is to produce highly readable musical notation. And it does this job perfectly wonderful. But it would be really a pitty if this would be the end of the road. We have all the tools to use the score to make real audible music. So some kind of help to make this process easier would be helpfull.

Switch polyrhythms in staffs
Hello, there is one problem which I can not resolve: On a Pianostaff I have an upper voice with \time 18/16 which I coded: \score ... \new Staff = upper { ... \time 3/4 \set Staff.timeSignatureFraction = #'(18 . 16) \compressMusic #'(4 . 6) \soprano } and a lower staff: \new Staff = lower { ... \time 3/4 \bass } ... } This works fine until I have to switch the measure to 3/4 in the upper and 18/16 in the lower staff. And I have to do that a lot of times. Where and how can I perform these changes. Thanks in advance for your advice.
