How to tie into a bar with split voices

[John McWilliam]

Hi,    I’m trying to get a tie to cross the barline into a split voice measure. I have tried with and without the \voiceOne command but cannot get this to work. Can any one help me? John McWilliam Sent from Mail for Windows

Coda without line break

[John McWilliam]

Hi,    The enclosed attachment illustrates a Coda including a line break, however:  I want to remove the line break and have the Coda on line 1 keeping the jump text between the Main  and the Coda. Also, there should some space between the jump text and the start of the coda.I would also like to move the jump text to the left a little to reduce the empty space there but reducing the ”repeat unfold” on line 20 from 4 – 2 did not have the desired effect. My knowledge of Lilypond is somewhat basic so any help with this would be appreciated. John McWilliam Sent from Mail for Windows

Error compiling a book

[John McWilliam]

Windows 10Frescobaldi 3.2Liliypond 2.24.0 I am getting the following error when compiling my book to tunes: programming error: file name not normalized: ..\..\Includes\Polis_format_portrait.ilycontinuing, cross fingers The compilation proceeds successfully and the result appears normal, however, it would be good to eliminate the cause. Can anyone throw light on what this means and how to correct the error. You will note that my include file is of type “.ily” instead of “.ly” I cannot remember why I did this and it may be of significance. John McWilliam Sent from Mail for Windows 

Accidental Parenthesis

[John McWilliam]

Hi,    I wonder if anyone can help me code a cautionary accidental, as in (#). If I am working with a key signature in G and write fis no accidental is shown. Sometimes, however, I want to remind myself by forcing an accidental shown inside brackets, (#). How do I do this? John McWilliam Sent from Mail for Windows 

Book structure

[John McWilliam]

I have been working on a Collection of Scottish bagpipe music. Each tune (PIECE) consists of: Ground (basic melody)Variations (usually up to maximum four). My strategy has been to create each individual section (ground & variations) within its own score and with its own header. This has worked well for me and given me a satisfactory result.  My problem is when I try to gather these tunes into a book. Here the result is scrambled and I suspect it may have something to do with my basic structure. I enclose a simplified (I hope!) rendering of “A” the structure of each tune, and “B” my book module structure.  If anyone would like to comment on thisI would be most grateful. John McWilliam Sent from Mail for Windows 10 PIECE

RE: Transpose

[John McWilliam]

Hi again,
I attach my attempt to use \modalTranspose in order to save code when 
rewriting broken chords in C major and A minor.  The idea is to go ahead and 
repeat the exercise in G major, Eminor etc., however, it looks as though I am 
going to have to write everything out (longhand). You will see in my example 
that modalTranspose gives a strange interpretation of A minor and I wonder 
whether there is a solution to this?

Transpose

[John McWilliam]

Hi,
I am rewriting Baermanns repetitive exercises for clarinet and am 
trying to rationalise my code.  For example broken chords: they start in C 
major then A minor followed by G major, E minor etc. To avoid rewriting the 
code every time I tried using ”\transpose c a \Cmajor” (the variable with the C 
major code). This gave me of coarse a change of key signature to A major – not 
what was wanted. Is there a way around this which will allow me to take the C 
major code and transpose the notes down a third to A keeping everything in C 
(minor).

RE: Overriding a global declaration

[John McWilliam]

I am so…. grateful for your help here and enclose my version with adjustments 
if you are interested.
   I found that adding a \pagebreak inside a bookpart in order to place 
tunes 3 & 4 on separate pages led to unwanted changes in pagination. When I 
placed tune 4 in its own bookpart everything was fine. In my old structure it 
was possible to separate tunes with pagebreaks.
   I also added a new section with two short tunes on one page. This was 
also successful. 
   I now understand book and bookpart structure better. I don’t think 
Finale or Sibelius can offer the same flexibility as that available in Lilypond 
– the problem is the learning curve!

Hi John,

please check before posting your example(s) work. You used relative
paths for the includes, which don't work with your stripped down files
...

I'd still recommend to use /bookpart, even more: wherever you insert
\pageBreak you should think about to start/end a bookpart.
(To keep the title page I didn't wrap your table-of-content into an
extra bookpart. Nevertheless for own projects I tend to create a
title-page indepent from book-header, then the toc in an own bookpart,
then the other bookparts)

Admittedly including a bookpart into another bookpart will not work,
so you shouldn't state a /bookpart in the to-be-included file, but
wrap it around the tocItem/Section and the \include when called in
\book
You may need to pay more attention for correct headers, this is the
only disadvantage I know.

If you do so (with the correct syntax) you can have different settings
for every bookpart via \paper.
NB a general \paper will affect every score/bookpart of the book.

Btw, in your BP_format.ily you write
ragged-bottom = ##t
Why? It causes some warnings, I've commented it without disadvantage
as far as I can tell.

So the only difference in \paper of the "reduced" bookpart is:
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
Maybe one could go for `page-count´ or `systems-per-page´ instead.

My code suggestions attached.

HTH,
  Harm

RE: Overriding a global declaration

[John McWilliam]

Following my previous mail I have tried to simplify my problem in a book 
containing three tunes:
1. A normal tune with 13 lines of Music where the last line should spill over 
into the next page. It doesn’t when compiled together with…
2. A so called reduced tune also with 13 lines which now fits onto one page 
after following suggestions from Thomas Morley.
3. The final tune is normal and should perform as number 1 and spill over onto 
the next page – it doesn’t.

Simply stated, I want to be able to reduce the size of one tune in a book where 
the majority of tunes have a larger global definition of staff size. The files 
are a simple and small as I could possibly make them at the same time 
illustrating my dilemma.

RE: Overriding a global declaration

[John McWilliam]

Enclosed is my template for tunes and for the book as well as the format file 
with some of the settings I use. You will notice that this file contains my 
global setting for staff size (16). The tune in question requires a staff size 
of 14 if it is to fit on one page and not roll over onto a second page – a mute 
Point you may say but it is a question of one line and aesthetically better if 
the tune can be contained on one page.

I think part of the difficulty of helping is that you've not said how you're 
laying out your book.  If you could give an example of 2 "tunes" and the 
book/score structure you're using (it wouldn't be necessary to specify the 
notes themselves, just saying something like "music here" or a single note 
per tune it might help someone understand how best to tackle the issue.

Re: Overriding a global declaration

[John McWilliam]

Windows 10, Lilypond 2.18.2, Friscobaldi 3.0.1

Unfortunately, nobody seems able to help me with this one. 

I have a collection of tunes in a \book structure with a global-staff-size
of 18. One of the tunes, however, spills over onto the next page and I want
to reduce it's size to fit into the page without changing the format of the
other tunes. I have tested what would work and found that 14 is feasible. I
have searched the forum and tried introducing a \layout section within the
tune score:

\layout {
\context {\Staff \with {
fontSize = #-2
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -2)}
}}

This reduced the size of the staff + notes spacing the lines vertically and
not giving the extra space to the overflow (1 line). I then added to the top
level of my file, \paper section:

\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##t
bottom-margin = 0\mm
between-system-padding = #0.1
between-system-space = #0.1
}

.but this did not change anything. \magnifyStaff seemed an interesting
option, however, my version of Lilypond returned an error on compilation so
perhaps this only works in later versions.

I'd be most grateful of assistance in solving this impass.

Overriding a global declaration

[John McWilliam]

1. I’m compiling a book of bagpipe tunes and have used a global declaration 
which suits my Music:

   #(set-global-staff-size 16)

I now fine I have one tune which still does not fit onto the page and one line 
of music spills over onto a new page. If I reduce this tune to staff-size 15 
the problem is solved. Can I do this and maintain my global definition for the 
other tunes?
2. In the same collection of tunes I sometimes use the following command:

#(allow-volta-hook “|”)

The problem is that this command is set at the beginning of the tune and 
affects all my volta spanners. Can I override this where an open spanner is 
desired?

Tune structure when used in \book

[John McWilliam]

Windows10, Lilypond 2.18.2, Friscobaldi 3.0.1

I have a large number of pipe tunes and have been trying gather them into a 
book. I am almost there but have run into problem with the variables I use for 
each tune part (verse/variation). Briefly, my tunes are structured:

--
Settings
%\Include bagpip.ly

PartA = {}
PartB = {}

Score {
\PartA
\PartB
   }

--

Briefly my book is structured:

Settings
\include bagpipe.ly

\book {\bookpart}

--

I can compile each tune separately if I include bagpipe.ly. To compile the book 
I must comment out this since it is included in the book at top level, however, 
I get errors indicating that the functions in bagpipe.ly are not found. If I do 
away with the variables and move the music into the score, everything works. 
This is a pity as it makes my tune files less readable. Is there a way around 
this?

Ragged-right

[John McWilliam]

Windows 10

   I have raised this question earlier concerning a problem when combining 
landscape mode, \grace, \partial and \repeat volta in Lilypond 2.19.83 I have 
tried to simplify my question in the attached example and hope that someone can 
advise. Briefly, insertion of a grace note in a partial bar and in combination 
with a repeat caused a ragged right margin (line-end) after the first repeat. 
   The attached example should be self explanatory. When working with 
bagpipe music which uses frequent gracenotes (bagpipe.ly) the problem 
exacerbates and sometime the music is extended off the page and lost. This 
occurs in landscape mode though my example seems to indicate the same thing in 
portrait mode.  Happily, Lilypond 2.18.2 works without these problems. I have 
spoken to the author of bagpipe.ly and bagpipe_new.ly who has a MAC environment 
and he says that Lilypond 2.19.83 does not have these problems and thinks this 
must have something to do with the Windows version of Lilypond.

Adjacent double bars

[John McWilliam]

Bagpipe music has it's own conventions where each section or part of a tune
is enclosed in either repeat bars or what I call double bars (\bar ".|" and
\bar "|."). The end of a part usually coincides with a line break. I have a
problem with this and find that adjacent barlines with a break in between
get overridden and one of the bar lines is eliminated. I have tried using
\bar "||" instead but this does not help. See below:
---
\version "2.18.0"

music = \relative c' {
\key c \major
\time 4/4
\bar ".|:"

%Part 1
\repeat volta 2 {
\partial 8 a8
a4. a8 b4. b8

Re: Variables when compiling a book

[John McWilliam]

>Unfortunately, this is one of the cases where LilyPond use resembles
>other kinds of computer programming.  You’ll need to refactor your files...

This solution presented a completely new mind set for me. The problem is
that I already have a considerable collection of bagpipe tunes written
without user-defined variables and compiled into books of marches and dance
tunes (see: https://github.com/jsmcwilliam/My_Bagpipemusic). On examination
of any tune you will see the construct fairly easily. These are then
compiled into a "Collection" (see: folder-collections). You will note that I
had to comment out some of the definitions from the beginning of each tune
file and move them to the collection file in order to avoid errors.

I then wanted to apply this construct to Piobaireachd tunes which are more
complex and required use of user-defined music variables (see folder
Piobaireachd). That is when I ran into trouble because it would appear that
all these user-defined music variables would also have to be lifted out of
the Piobaireachd files and placed at the beginning of the collection file.
As I said before this seemed a very clumsy thing to do making my collection
file enormous and difficult to read.  

You may be right in which case I will have to study your construct and apply
it to my Piobaireachd tunes, however, I was hoping for a simpler solution.
If you cannot see one then I suppose I must bite the bullet but I'm not very
code literate so it may take time to affect the change.

Variables when compiling a book

[John McWilliam]

I am compiling a collection of bagpipe tunes and am having a problem when the
individual files are to be compiled into a book. Many of the tunes have
sections of music defined in variables - these definitions lie outside the
\score context and are causing errors when I try to compile the book.

I have also noticed that my list of \include files also defined outside the
score context have to be  removed form the individual tunes and listed at
the beginning of the book file instead. This is not a problem since the list
is short, however, moving all my music variables to the book file seems like
a clumsy way of doing things since they are many and vary from tune to tune. 

Does anyone have a solution to this problem which could perhaps be described
as one of SCOPE or CONTEXT?

Nested volta brackets

[John McWilliam]

I have a piece which has a complex repeat. The first time through the first
two bars are omitted. The second time the notes bracketed [S] are played.
This entire sequence is then played again, however, the second time the
notes bracketed [D] are played. In total the line is played four times in
different ways.

The snippet shows how this is done, however, I would like to replace the
text spanner with a volta bracket embracing the first two bars and with the
text "Lines 2 & 4 only" Is this possible?

Re: Including a logo on the title page of a book

[John McWilliam]

>> Side effects of including a logo on the title page of a book.

My latest code for this works up to a point. I have to manually use the
score.header command "picture = ##f"
to prevent the logo appearing at the begining of each book part. The problem
is the space left under the book part title before the start of the music.
If I could only remove this... I enclose the code and relevant logo below:

Re: Including a logo on the title page of a book

The above problem has been solved, however, I have inherited a new one! The
logo appears on all subsequent pages in the book. This can be solved by
introducing a "instrument = ##f" to each book part, however, I still have
the problem of eliminating the logo from the Index of Contents. I only want
to see it on the title page. How can this be achieved? The relevant files

I wish to append this to my previous reply to Nick concerning problems
generating a logo on the title page of a \book. Using the following Header
code:

 subtitle = "March collection"
 copyright = \markup {
\line {"Compiled by John S. McWilliam,"
\concat { "(rev. " \date ")" }}}
}

... the compiler generated this:

Otherwise my above code was used. No errors or warnings and the pdf is

Hi Nick,
 I tried your approach replacing my header code in the original code
shown above with your header code and replacing your eps file with mine
(subtitle = \markup {\epsfile #X #72 #"Logo_LNPB.eps" } all in the same
folder). I got an warning: 37: non-UTF-8 input. No pdf was generated. Would
this imply that there is something wrong with my eps file or is there
something else I have overlooked?

Re: Shortened line containing second time repeat volta has problems

Thanks Pierre. Two things:
1. The repeat sign at the beginning of the second part is coded but does not
appear.
2. If you have time could you explain your corrections to my code. I
understand the "allow-volta-hook"
but why did the barline at the end of line two appear and have to be
hidden. Lastly, why did the 
repeat sign at the beginning of line three disappear.

\version "2.18.0"

%#(allow-volta-hook "|") 
#(allow-volta-hook "||") 

\score {
  \new Staff {
\time 3/4   %adjust time to suit specific tunes
\bar ".|:"

% Part 1
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
\repeat unfold 4 {a4 a a}
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1"))
\repeat unfold 4 {a4 a a}
\break
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2. --1,2") end-repeat)
\repeat unfold 4 {a4 a a}
\bar "||"
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
\stopStaff

% Increasing the unfold counter will expand the staff-free space
\repeat unfold 6 { s4 s4 s4 }
\break
\once \hide Score.BarLine
\startStaff  % Resume bar count and show staff lines again

% Part 2

Shortened line containing second time repeat volta has problems

[John McWilliam]

The situation is as follows. A pipe tune made up of two parts where each part
is repeated once. The first part has an alternative ending when played the
second time. This appears on a shortened line of its own. The second part
also has an alternative ending when play the second time and this matches
the ending of the first part. 
I have two problems with this both of which are, in a way, aesthetic but
irritating:
1. I cannot close the second time volta.
2. I cannot eliminate the barline which appears at the end of the shortened
second time line.

>Error on running convert-ly

I enclose the snippet for the above problem. This also includes the
"point-and-click" option which has also stopped functioning. All other
aspects of the Lilypond Tool seem to function normally and I can still
create music. The update was from 2.18.0 and as you can see the version was
updated, however, the error text shown above occurred. I have older
compositions which work normally but all the new work has this problem.
Maybe something has changed in the setup (preferences) for jedit or
Lilypond? I have considered a new installation of jedit and Lilypond but
wanted to test this on the community before going ahead.

That works for me too. Thanks!
One last detail - I hope - when the difference between the first and

transparent bar. In such cases is the following snippet acceptable or is 

there another tweak which can be used to seperate them?

Re: Repeat volta not at beginning of piece doesn't get initial repeat bar line

[John McWilliam]

I am deeply grateful for sorting out these problems associated with the
bagpipe tune format and in particular those associated with repeats. I have
another irritating glitch in the same grain. A measure can have two
alternative structures depending on whether it is played the first or second
time. This is illustrated in the following snippet. My approach to this
works, however, i get a warning: "already have a volta spanner, ending that
one prematurely" and the second spanner remains open to the right. Any
suggestions will be most welcome.  

\version "2.18.0"  
  
music = \relative c''' {
\key c \major
\time 2/4
\bar ".|:"

\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
\partial 8 g8

Re: Repeat volta not at beginning of piece doesn't get initial repeat bar line

[John McWilliam]

Thanks Thomas for your input. I have applied your first alternative - the 

simpler one - to a four part piece. This is the classical length of a 

march in piping. The enclosed snippet illustrates the result. The end of 

the first part looses its repeat barline. I have tried introducing a \bar 

":|." at the end of the first part, however, this causes the repeat 

barline at the beginning of the second part to be supressed. Using manual 

commands instead of the \repeat volta format for the first part doesn't 

improve the situation. I feel that we are very close to a solution and 

would appreciate any suggestions you may be able to offer.



\version "2.18.0"

\defineBarLine ".|:-|." #'("|." ".|:" "|.") % needed to allow the   

% "volta-hook" mid-line:
#(allow-volta-hook ".|:-|.")

music = \relative c' {
\key c \major
\time 4/4
 \bar ".|:"
 
%Part 1
\repeat volta 2 {
a4. a8 b4. b8
c4. c8 d4. d8   
\break }
 
%Part 2 
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
e4. e8 f4. f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
g4. g8 a4. a8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f) (volta "2. --2,4") 

end-repeat)
b4. b8 c4. c8
\bar ".|:-|."
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))

\break

%Part 3
\repeat volta 2 {
a4. a8 b4. b8
c4. c8 d4. d8   
\break }


%% not changed:
%Part 4
\repeat volta 2 {
e4. e8 f4. f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
g4. g8 f4.f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}

Re: Repeat volta not at beginning of piece doesn't get initial repeat bar line

[John McWilliam]

Hi,
I have followed this discussion with interest having had a similar
problem myself. Bagpipe music (marches) have a standard format, usually four
parts and each part is repeated and may have alternative endings. The repeat
bars are shown at the beginning and end of each part (including the
beginning)
and alternative endings may be the same for up to two parts. When this
involves
the fourth (last) part the alternative ending is usually closed with \bar
"|." 

I have had problems following this format in Lilypond.
- visuallising all repeat bars.
- combining \repeat volta and \set Score.repeatCommands causes warnings and
  premature closure of the volta spanner.
- using \bar "|." in the middle of a piece (This you seem to have solved 
  as far as using \bar "||" is concerned but the solution doen't work for
  \bar "|."
I enclose the following snippet to illustrate my problem and hope that
somebody
will be able to respond with suggestions.

---

\version "2.18.0"


music = \relative c' {
\key c \major \time 4/4

%Part I with two alternative repeat ends
\repeat volta 2 {
e4. e8 f4. f8 }
\alternative { {
g4. g8 a4. a8 }
{
% If the following volta text is introduced the previous repeat bar
disappears
% and a warning reports premature closure of the volta spanner. The spanner 
% remains open to the right.
%   \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "2. --1,2"))
b4. b8 c4. c8 
%   \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
\bar ".|:-||" \break }
% The second ending should finish with \bar "|." as this is also the ending
for 
% the second part and as such the end of the piece. Introducing \bar "|.", 
% however, surpresses the repeat bar at the beginning of the second part. I
also
% tried \bar ".|:-|." with a similar result.
}
%Part II with the same repeat end as part I
\repeat volta 2 {
e4. e8 f4. f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta "1."))
g4. g8 f4.f8
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f))
}

}% end relative

\score  {
   \new Staff { \music }
}

Re: Table of contents

[John McWilliam]

Problem: Table of contents - a version conflict


Dear Marc,
Thanks for solving my problem. I upgraded my 2.14 version to 2.16 and
didn't notice that the manual was not upgraded at the same time - thus the
error in my syntax. Now all is back to normal again and I can relax and
enjoy a good night's sleep again. 

Danke,

John McWilliam

I need to write a coda which starts with a change in key and time signature. 
The example taken from the manual does not illustrate this requirement. All my 
attempts have resulted in visible a key signature and time signature  at the 
end of the melody section (before the coda). I want to hide this and if 
possible create extra space between the melody and coda sections. Does anyone 
have a suggestion as to how this could be achieved? I include a snippet to 
illustrate the problem.
