DS al coda with coda mark within a repeat section
Hello,
I'm about to transcript a part that contains a D.S al coda with the to code
mark placed in a repeat section. The picture below shows an example of what
I want but with the code mark misplaced. I manually place the text "last
time to code" where I want it. I include the code I have.
Can you help me to get it right? Ideally a solution that will produce the
right output if I use the unfoldRepeats command.
thanks
Jonathan

You can \override it for a more global effect or you can \tweak it to

My 2.18 installation appears to be using Century Schoolbook. Your comments did allow me focus my investigation. After a bit of digging, it appears that lilypond 2.18 on FreeBSD isn't recognising the CenturySchL-*.otf fonts in /usr/local/share/lilypond/2.18.2/fonts/otf correctly. I worked around this by copying the CenturySchL-*.otf files into ~/.fonts. This workaround gets me up and running again. I will possibly investigate the cause of the failure later. The 2.19 version appears to use fontconfig, which I believe is a much superior solution. Hopefully a new release will happen soon.

Here's a minimal version:
\version "2.18.2"
\header
{
title = "Title"
composer = "Composer"
}
lotw_begin =
{
\tempo "Andante"
\time 4/4
\key c \minor

lotw_piano_upper = \relative c''

lotw_piano_lower = \relative c

\book

{
\new PianoStaff
<<
\new Staff = "upper" << \lotw_begin \lotw_piano_upper >>
\new Staff = "lower" << \lotw_begin \lotw_piano_lower >>
>>
}
}
WIth this, I would expect to have the Title and Composer, and piano
staffs showing on the output. Instead I just get the piano staffs.

I've had a quick look on Google, but have had little luck on finding
the definite solution/workaround for this.
The closest solutions I've found is to add:
\paper

#(define fonts
(make-pango-font-tree
"Times New Roman"
"Nimbus Sans,Nimbus Sans L"
"Luxi Mono"
(/ staff-height pt 20)))
}
but the resulting fonts for the title and expressive marks look
extremely terrible.
Does anyone have a definitive solution?

"loose" alignment of lyrics
Hi, One of the things that attracts me to Lilypond is that I can scale the level of detail to what I need. Now, sometimes what I need, especially in a first iteration, is a quick chord chart with lyrics. Looking at the documentation though, it looks like I have to give full timing information for the vocal melody to position it correctly, but if I'm doing a quick chart that's going to be a pain. What I want to do is just align key bits, say the word at the start of the bar. Is that possible? regards Jon ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Midi output with highlighted voices
Dear Ponders,
I have a feature wish, and I hope this is the right channel to utter it:
I typeset choir pieces and in this field it is a big advantage of
LilyPond that producing MIDI files with highlighted voices for each
single voice is possible. Today I do this by defining a new book for
each voice and by "highlighting" the respective voice - by increasing
her volume and assigning her a distinct midiInstrument - see the
attached MWE. The result is good and very usable for choirs to improve
the individual practicing at home.
But the input is ugly. The MWE works with only 2 voices and yet has a
lot of repetitive code. Imagine a piece with 8 voices! The MIDI output
for 8 highlighted voices would need hundreds of highly repetitive lines
of LilyPond code. I wish there was a feature to produce the output with
one line of code in the \midi{}-section of the pdf producing \score.
LilyPond would have to loop over the voices in the score and produce a
book as described in the MWE.
I have tried to understand Scheme multiple times but I didn't make it
yet. That's why I would be thankful if someone could write the Scheme
function to achieve that. I think many typesetters of choir music would
appreciate an easy way to produce the MIDI as described. (Actually,
there are some guys around who do that with some other programmes, see
[1], [2]). I believe most typesetters don't know the way how to do it
with LilyPond today - that's why I think this would be a great benefit
for the community.
Kind regards,
Jonathan

Re: Lyrics clash with volta bar in StaffGroup
I think that
\once\override LyricText.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
is a rather uncomely workaround, since the change of the relation
between note and lyrics is very striking to the eye, and one might
wonder about the meaning of this change, where there is no such meaning.
Anyway, your answer, Pierre, pointed me into the right direction: I now
override the X-offset of the whole note (see the MWE below). Since the
lyrics are aligned with the note, that override avoids the clash as
well, and without affecting the alignment of the lyrics along the note.
Now I am able to avoid each clash manually. So now a function would be
perfect, which performed this override automatically after every volta.
Can somebody tell me how to do that? (I think this function would be
worth adding to the standard behaviour of StaffGroup, wouldn't it?)
this is the MWE:
\version "2.19.22"
alignNotesAfterVolta = \once \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #2
text = \lyricmode { Text. Text as well }
music = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
e1
}
\alignNotesAfterVolta
c4 d e2
}
\score{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice ="one" { \music }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \text }
\new Staff <<
\new Voice ="two" { \music }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" { \text }

Lyrics clash with volta bar in StaffGroup
Hi guys,
I have a problem with lyrics in a StaffGroup. I would like to set a
choral piece in a StaffGroup-Environment. When there is a volta the
lyrics will be printed too closely to the volta bar. Can you tell me how
to change this without manually adjusting the lyrics at every single
occurence of a volta? If there is no such general approach, how would I
adjust the lyrics manually?
My minimum example is:
\version "2.19.22"
text = \lyricmode { Text. Text as well }
music = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 {
e1
}
c4 d e2
}
\score{
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff <<
\new Voice ="one" { \music }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "one" { \text }
\new Staff <<
\new Voice ="two" { \music }
>>
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "two" { \text }
>>
}
Thank you for your help!

\caps with Umlaut
Dear ponders,
I am using \caps in a \markup which prints the name of the composer.
After having set a couple of pieces today it's the first time the
composer's name contains an umlaut (in this case an ä). And that was
when I found out, that \caps, as well as \smallCaps, "does not support
accented character" (quoted from
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/font) - the ä - is
printed as a lowercase letter.
The ME is:
\version "2.19.22"
\markup{ \caps Bartholomäus }
How can I solve this problem? I mean, how can I achieve that \caps works
properly with umlauts and uses the uppercase umlaut?
Your advice is very much appreciated,
Jonathan

Re: \accidentalStyle for common choir notation
Sorry, guys, for being so rude. But can we talk about LP-features instead of arguing about best-practice-typesetting? That would be nice :) To me, this discussion is somewhat obsolete. A good program should leave the decision to the user. And that's where LP is failing at the moment, cause user cannot choose the option very many - not to say: the very most - engravers of choir scores opted for. \accidentalStyle piano works in GrandStaff, but is needed in ChoirStaff. So can somebody please be so kind to invest her energy, time and skills into this problem instead of wasting her capacities in a discussion about a question which is at least in part a matter of personal taste? I tried to manipulate the scm/music-functions.scm but, since I do not understand it, without success. Thank you ever so much for your help, Jonathan Am 14.

realtimeMIDI2LilyPond / realtimeMIDI2MusicXML
Hi! Does somebody have experiences with inputting voices via MIDI? I know that several programs exist with which you can enter music (to Finale- or Sibelius-output or to MusicXML) by step-recording. But is there a (good) program which allows you to record the music with your midi-keyboard and get a .ly-output? The main problem seems to be the rhythmic imprecision of humans playing the piano. Is there a program which deals with that? If there is no such program do you know attempts to write it? Thanks Jonathan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: \accidentalStyle for common choir notation
Phil, you are right, it's about different /Staffs. /Thank you for
clarifying.
At your other point: Well, I agree that the usage of the desired
\accidentalStyle can be a matter of discussion. But it is a very common
practice. And there are good arguments for using it (choirsingers often
orientate - consciously or unconsciously - on the harmonies they are
hearing in the other voices.). Anyway, my question was not about best
practice of typesetting but about the realisation of a certain feature
in LilyPond. I would be grateful, if we stuck to this original question.
Phil Holmes wrote:
What you're asking for is not adding a natural when there's a previous
sharp in a different /voice/, but in a different /staff/. As a
long-time singer myself, I'd find that terribly confusing. If the 2

\accidentalStyle for common choir notation
Hi Ponders!
I would like to know how I can create my own /\accidentalStyle/
"Normally" notes of a certain voice are "naturalized" (written with a
natural), when the same note had occured with an accident in the same
bar (this is /\accidentalStyle default/ in LilyPond). A different style
additonally naturalizes notes, when the same note had occured with an
accident in the antecedent bar of this certain voice. (this is
/\accidentalStyle modern /in LilyPond)
I would like to create an \accidentalStyle which is very common in
setting choir-music:
It shall naturalize accidentals that had taken place in the antecedent
bar of any /Voice/ in the same /\StaffGroup/ (or/\ChoirStaff/, wich
makes no big difference, I guess),
A tiny example demonstrating what I want is written below. In bar No. 2
the c of the Soprano is naturalized - due to /\accidentalStyle normal/.
I want to behave the Alto voice in bar No. 4 analogously - i.e. as
printed in the example, but without the need to write c! in the input of
the alto voice.
Can someone please help me? I grubbed myself through the manuals and was
still unable to find a way to write my own /\accidentalStyle/
Thank you!

horicontally shift of polyrhythmic staves
Hi,
I would like to set the following scenario:
In a polyrhythmic piece with multiple staves one staff starts a quarter
note later than the others. I need to horizontally shift this stave for
the "duration" of a quarter note. How can I do that?
To illustrate what I want I post the following ME, which shows a
(dissatifactory) workaround, where the rhythmical structure is
represented correctly. However this is dissatisfatroy, because I do not
to want cheat with \set Timing.measureLength. And I want the bracket of
the later starting staff (the third one in my ME) to be shifted to the
right, because I think it represents the composer's musical idea better.
Thank you,
Jonathan

Re: repeat
I had a similar problem when managing different spread of text in
different stanzas of a song. Maybe the following solution (which does
not produce the correct midi-output!) is appropriate for you? - for me
it looks like a bit of cheating, but it seems to work.
\version "2.19.22"
verseOne = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1." This is the first al -- ter
-- na -- tive }
verseTwo = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "2." And this is the se -- cond one }
melodyOne = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f
f e d c
}
melodyTwo = \relative c'' {
%make voice effectively invisible
\override Slur.transparent = ##t
\override Stem.transparent = ##t
\override Dots.transparent = ##t
\override Beam.transparent = ##t
\override NoteHead.transparent = ##t
\voiceTwo
r4 d e f
f e d c
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\new Voice = "first" { \repeat volta 2 { \melodyOne } }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "first" { \verseOne }
\new Voice = "second" { \voiceTwo \melodyTwo }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto "second" { \verseTwo }
>>
}
Instead of manually overriding the visibility of the notes you can use
\hideNotes after the rest in verseTwo, too.
Hope that helps,
Jonathan

print page numbers on margins
Dear all,
I have margins on both sides of the page and would like to print the
page numbers on the margin. How do I do that?
My settings are
\version "2.19.22"
\paper {
left-margin = 2\cm
right-margin = 2\cm
oddHeaderMarkup= \markup { \column { { \fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string }}} %left aligned page numbers on odd pages
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup { { \column { \fill-line {"" \fromproperty
#'page:page-number-string %right aligned page numbers on even pages
}
\book {
\score {
\new Staff { R1*500 }
}
}
I tried to play around with something like
indent = 2\cm
short-indent = 2\cm
horizontal-shift = -1\cm
but that's ugly, because it changes only the positioning of the systems,
but not of, for example, the system-separators. And there might be many
other elements I would have to re-position if I did it that way. Is
there a possibility the other way around - just changing the position of
the HeaderMarkup?
Thanks!

automatic line-breaking in markup
Hi list,
I want to create a template for a cover page. I do that by redefining
bookTitleMarkup. The title of the piece is stored as string in a
variable and I want to print it relatively tall on the cover page. It works.
But sadly when the title is too long it runs off the page, because
LilyPond does not automatically break the line. How can I get LilyPond
to break the line automatically when the title runs off page?
My ME is:
\version "2.19.22"
title = "Many many words may result in a title that is too long for one
line"
\paper {
bookTitleMarkup = \markup {
\fontsize #15 \title
}
}
\book {
\relative c' {c d e f }

problem with installed font when set-global-staff-size is changed
Hi!
I would like to use the Garamond font for all the text in my sheet

http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/download.html and put all the
.otf-files into the directory

Nearly everything works fine, but Lilypond seems to have problems with
scaling, as my ME shows. The lyrics between the staves are not printed
in Garamond font when the global-staff-size is changed.
I don't understand the way lilypond deals with fonts. Can you please
help me?

\override LyricText.font-size = #2
\override Score.BarNumber.font-name = EBGaramond
\override Score.BarNumber.font-size = #2
\override Staff.InstrumentName.font-name = EBGaramond

(Setting the font-sizes manually is necessary since for some unknown
reason, the font-size decreases.) For my purposes that is an acceptable
workaround.

Hi!
I would like to use the Garamond font for all the text in my sheet

http://www.georgduffner.at/ebgaramond/download.html and put all the
.otf-files into the directory
lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/current/fonts/otf
Nearly everything works fine, but Lilypond seems to have problems with
scaling, as my ME shows. The lyrics between the staves are not printed
in Garamond font when the global-staff-size is changed.
The problem is that setting staff size overrides the previous font
settings, so you have to first change staff size, then change the fonts.
Normally this would mean inserting #(set-global-staff-size 21) _before_
the paper block; with #layout-set-staff-size however, I don’t know of
any solution.

repeat volta with partial, alternative endings and different \time in different voices
Hello again ;-)
I have a somewhat special piece of music: It has a partial and a volta
with alternative endings. That's no problem. But on top it has different
meters in the alternatives of the different voices. When I do not
combine the voices in a ChoirStaff (or StaffGroup) everything works
fine. But as soon as I put them together in a the volta-bar :|
vanishes. Do you have a solution for that? I am looking for a way to
solve this without setting the volta-bar manually, since I want to
produce adequate midi output, too.
My minimal example:
\version 2.19.22
global = { \time 3/2 \partial 2 }
first = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 { c2 \time 4/4 c4 c c c }
\alternative {
{ \time 3/2
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1)
c1
}
{ \time 3/2
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1)
d1
}
}
\time 4/4 c4 c c c
}
second = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 { c2 \time 4/4 c4 c c c }
\alternative {
{ \time 3/2
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1)
c1
}
{ \time 5/4
\set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 5/4)
c4 d e f
}
}
g
\time 4/4 c4 c c c
}
% this works:
\score { \new Staff { \global \first } }
\score { \new Staff { \global \second } }
% that does not work:
\score {
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \new Voice { \global \first } }
\new Staff { \new Voice { \global \second } }
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove Timing_translator
\remove Default_bar_line_engraver
}
\context {
\Staff
\consists Timing_translator
\consists Default_bar_line_engraver
}
}%end of \layout
}%end of \score

Height and vertical alignment of first system on first page
Hi Ponders, I have a score with an odd number of systems. Each page has two systems (it's an eight-voiced Choirstaff), the first page gets one system (and the title-section) - fine. Lilypond stretches the first system vertically to make it fill the whole first page. I would like this system to have the height of the other systems in the score and to be placed in the (vertical) center of the first page. Can you tell me how to do that? I have tried to cheat lilypond by adding some \vspace in the \title of the \header - that reduces the stretch of the system, but still lets it stretch to the bottom of the page - I would like the system to be right in the middle of the first page.

From my perspective, the loss of Sibelius is bad for *everyone* with a stake in music. I never used Sibelius; I never liked it. But many did, and many found their first creative voice through the software. I don't think its retraction will leave a void that will simply be filled by something else. It's a possible sign that music -- the type many of us are involved in -- is losing in the greater culture war. It's not LilyPond vs Sibelius vs Finale but rather Quality Music vs Cheap Entertainment. Uncompromising artistic discipline certainly has its pedagogical usefulness, but when Orwellian concepts begin to creep in-- like a vague war apparently dragging on for decades yet with heroes in perpetual danger of defeat-- maybe it's time to come out of the woodshed.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
D is obviously the wrong fit for an lp extension language, but scheme
has a couple of strikes against it right from the start.
Sure, it requires getting into. Not that D doesn't. The rules of
Scheme syntax can be learnt in one afternoon. The syntax may not
exactly resemble mathematical notation or plain language, but it is
simple and regular. If we were out for natural language, our extension
language for LilyPond would be COBOL.
Scheme has a low lexical and syntactical impact, and the price for that
is a uniform syntax, and a uniform syntax has few structuring visual
elements. One payback for that is that you can do syntax
transformations in a predictable and reliable way.
I'm certainly in no position to argue for another extension language for LP
-- just saying up front that isn't the purpose of this e-mail. Just throwing
an opinion into the pot.
In my SuperCollider work, more and more I prefer a coding style that favors
legibility over concision. Many people use SC for live coding, where
concision
is more important -- you have to be able to type the code FAST in front of an
audience. As a result, SC is full of syntax sugar, some of it quite lovely,
some
of it obscure. You can create a new array with 10 random numbers concisely
like
this -- { rrand(1, 10) } ! 10 -- but lately I prefer to write the more
canonical syntax Array.fill(10, { rrand(1, 10) }). Someone
unfamiliar with SC can make a reasonable guess what Array.fill does, but ! is
opaque.
I find scheme to be impossible to read without an editor that highlights
matching brackets. I can start to make sense out of it once the editor shows
me
which () belong together. That's an obstacle -- it pushes learning lisp into
the category of Things I Really Ought to Do Someday If for No Reason Other
Than
Building Character. I may yet do that for LP and/or Emacs, but it's
intimidating -- and if it's intimidating for me, I expect it's more so
for other LP users.
There's a distinction to be made between Lilypond's core philosophy and those
of
the sound tweaking environments of SC, PD, ChucK, etc. Lilypond is supposed to
tweak so that the user doesn't have to. If a user in Pd or SC continually
posts to the
list asking for solutions because they don't understand core programming
concepts
they will (hopefully gently) be pushed toward documentation
that educates them on how to _program_ what they want based on a better
understanding
of the language. Granted Lilypond users must understand core markup to make a
score, but if they are pushed toward learning Scheme _programming_ concepts in
order to get a good looking score it's a breach of the core philosophy.
(Unless of
course what they want to notate is so obscure or difficult that tweaks are
inevitable,
but even then Lilypond devs are really good at providing proofs of concept for
weird
things like systems that go in a circle and other crazy stuff.) That holds no
matter what
the extension language is.
The affected group here is the above-average users who want to become Lilypond
mavens.
I don't know how to measure the trade-off between changing the language in the
hopes of
easier future extension development and sticking with what's already there.
Personally I
find Scheme really hard to understand, and I understand some C, Perl, Tcl, and
a few others.
But I don't think my opinion matters because I shouldn't _need_ to do much of
anything with an
extension language directly. I'm going to take advantage of whatever is here
on the list, the
snippets, and in the docs and stick to doing what Lilypond claims I should be
doing-- entering
the content of my piece in markup. I think I'm like most users, and it should
be taken into
account that if the extension language does change, or gets improved to become
more
expressive, we're not going to care until those changes eventually make the
common tasks
of entering musical content easier.
This doesn't go at all toward one solution or the other, but it does strongly
point to this being
a dev issue and not a user issue.

What are we missing? Somebody who was willing to run a Kickstarter project and make it happen. It is not just that. There are also a few advantages: a) MusicXML export means the results are usable in a variety of notation programs making use of an open standard. They can check-out any time they like, But can they ever leave? :) Let's say I look at their score and see some bad spacing among some set of sixteenths (and there is some bad spacing, btw). Then I see a glaring enharmonic spelling of a leading-tone that the MIDI-entry got wrong and the editors missed (also there, btw). Great, I say-- I'll just import the corresponding MusicXML into Finale or whatever, do the tweaks, then export so that I can send the patch back to the project for inclusion in the next version. Is music software X guaranteed to keep the rest of the score exactly the same, except for the parts I tweaked when I do the export back to MusicXML? If so, that's an impressive open standard. b) volunteers can be given a complete toolchain. You can use an editor of your choice is about as helpful for the average musician as You can use a lathe of your choice. c) Ok, let's assume I have a MIDI keyboard hooked up to my computer for note entry. How do I go from there? Bring the keyboard back to the store. We are not going to use it anyway. d) I am well-versed in LilyPond. What form do you want the entry in? Can I use music functions? What note language should I be using? Should the voicing be reflected in ad-hoc voices? Should I be using anonymous parallel voices? What kind of context mods should I be using? Uh, we better form a committee for that kind of question. One thing I was thinking was that you could use tags in Lilypond to make editions. Let's say someone had some crackerjack fingerings from various concert pianists they collected. You could have all those available as pdfs while they all derive from the same codebase, so that when someone finally fixes the erroneous d-flat they only need to fix it once. But I don't see how you could do that with Musescore.

Example: Today, I was trying to write my own \override for the first time. To make matters more challenging, I was in a caf? and their WiFi connection was not working. So, the only documentation I had available to me was the *info* docs in Emacs. Eventually I found my way to grob-interface and extra-offset: It takes a pair of numbers... /pair/ of numbers? No obvious entries in the index, or looking through the table of contents of the learning manual, notation reference for internals reference. I only needed to move something down, so I gave up and used Y-offset. I got home, and an Internet search turned up the Scheme tutorial, which does explain cons cells, so I finally found the syntax is (a . b). I didn't see it in the table of contents because it goes down to second-level sections (1.1, 1.2 etc.) and the headings about datatypes are 1.1.3 and 1.1.4. Small issue, I guess -- it's possible to find the information with the help of tools outside the documentation, but it is a bit of a usability issue: the learning manual discusses tweaks, but appears not to be specific about the syntax you will need to specify certain datatypes -- requiring external tools and an internet connection to make the documentation useful. Or maybe it just irritated me and I want to complain :) Well it's definitely a pain. My favorites are booleans, which require one hash to denote scheme code, and one hash for the boolean. (Why not one more hash, for good measure?) Do you know about the internals reference? Here's the entry for textscript, for example: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/textscript It shows you the defaults for each setting which show you the syntax to be usedin an override. -Jonathan FWIW, I'm throwing some quite complex multi-voice notation at Lilypond and most of it is coming out beautifully, without manual intervention.

G'day. Sorry, if I don't use the correct lilypond nomenclature.
Below are two bars of notes. The first bar is done with 2 voices inline and

positions are not on the left of the notes, while they are in the second bar.
I would like to use the convenience of inline voices AND get the string

in the correct position. Is there some mechanism to accomplish this?
(I have a sneaking suspicion someone is going to tell me this is a know bug

It works if you put the orientation command inside the {} of each
voice. I made it less clunky by defining the orientation command like
so:
lefty = \set fingeringOrientations = #'(left left left left)
VoiceA = \relative c {
%\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left left left left)
{ \lefty c'-1 g-21 } \\ { \lefty c,-32 } | c'-1 g-21

Non-traditional key signatures
The commonly used \key command sets the keySignature property, in the Staff
context.
To create non-standard key signatures, set this property directly. The
format of this command is a list:
\set Staff.keySignature = #`(((octave . step) . alter) ((octave . step) .
alter) ...) where, for each
element in the list, octave specifies the octave (0 being the octave from
middle C to the B above),
step specifies the note within the octave (0 means C and 6 means B), and
alter is ,SHARP ,FLAT ,DOUBLE-SHARP etc.
(Note the leading comma.) The accidentals in the key signature will appear
in the reverse order to that in which
they are specified.
Alternatively, for each item in the list, using the more concise format
(step . alter) specifies that the same
alteration should hold in all octaves.
For microtonal scales where a sharp is not 100 cents, alter refers to the
alteration as a proportion of a 200-cent whole tone.
Here is an example of a possible key signature for generating a whole-tone
scale:
\relative c' {
\set Staff.keySignature = #`(((0 . 3) . ,SHARP)

Yes it compiled after commenting that command out. I suspect the

How to parenthesize a time signature
Greetings Lilypouncers, Is there a quick way to parenthesize a simple time signature? I'm not sure whether this is standard or not, but I used it once or twice at the beginning of a score that shows an excerpt from, say, the middle of a piece, to make it clear that the time signature also applied to the music leading up to the excerpt. (I think I used it a long time ago in a copy job for a musicologist, but I can't be sure.)

Hi,

Yep, I had just made and tested the change when this email came in.
This works:
\relative c' {

\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(3 3 2)
\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'()

But this behaviour is strange (non expected from a user point of view)
and should be changed or at least documented.
I can't see how it should be changed. It's totally under user control.
There are three separate context properties that affect autobeaming, and all
three need to be properly set.
I can see that it needs to be documented better. I'll cook a patch.
Thanks guys. I'll try it when I log back into my linux side. (I only

Redchuk Bug Squad ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user I wrote a passage in the Contributor's Guide about this a while back. Read section 3.8 to see how I do it. I only have two versions at once, though. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/contributor/concurrent-stable-and-development-versions Jon -- Jonathan Kulp http://www.jonathankulp.com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Dear community,
I've tried a snippet for cross-staff-beamed tuplets, I've found in the
snippet repository.
Unfortunately, it does not work in the way I expected it.
Here is my short example:
\version 2.12.2
\include klavierstyle.ly
rechts = {
\override TupletNumber #'Y-offset = #kneed-beam
\set tupletSpannerDuration = #(ly:make-moment 1 4)
\times 2/3 { \lira g 8 \reru e' \lira bes \reru d'' g' f'' cis'' ais''
fis'' ~ fis'' \lira f'! b | }
}
links = {
\clef bass s1
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff = Klavier
\new Staff= rechts { \rechts }
\new Staff = links \with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'keep-fixed-while-stretching = ##t }
{ \links}
}
If you follow the hint in the snippet's comments about using manual
beaming for best results, then the numbers appear in (more or less)
the right place. Try manually beaming the first and last triplet.
Jon
