Re: A problem with lilypond
2011/10/19 musicar...@pop.com.br: Hello, I am new to the list then I have not followed the discussion on lilypond, just do not know if I'm facing the problem that has already been discussed, if so I apologize. The situation is that I'm developing a site with some tests on music theory and I am using the language lilypond to generate the score of the tests, however, it is always generated an entire page, which is bad for making available on the site page, I were wondering if anyone has any solution to generate the image size only occupying the space of the score. This came up a few months ago here: http://old.nabble.com/creating-images-for-web-pages-td32223482.html Another problem is that when the sound is generated sometimes makes a loud pop at the beginning of the audio.

'bass.ly') to keep the code reasonably organized and manageable. Everything
but [songtitle].ly simply defines variables: intro contains the two intro
parts, and the others their respective vocal parts (S/A/T/B). Everything
worked flawlessly until I added to the tenor part after the intro (I worked
my way from top down, so soprano and alto worked). After doing this, I got
the error message:

with no error text (it wouldn't tell me just which string it wasn't
expecting) for the error in bass.ly.
The structure (if this helps more) goes as follows:
([songtitle].ly):

\include soprano.ly
\include alto.ly
\include tenor.ly
\include bass.ly

(intro.ly):
saintro = \relative c' { %error here

}
tbintro = \relative c { %error here
%note data, error free
}
(soprano.ly):
\version 2.12.3
\include intro.ly
soprano = {
\saintro
\relative c' {
%note data, error free
}
}
I then have the same kind of thing in alto.ly and tenor.ly. In bass.ly:
\version 2.12.3
\include intro.ly
bass = { %error somewhere here (according to description, unexpected string

\tbintro
\relative c {
%one measure of note data, because I've been focusing on fixing the

}
}
I have searched everything I could find to search through rather thoroughly
to no avail. What might be causing this and how can it be fixed? If it
helps, I'm using jEdit to write the files and compile them (simply double
clicking or running through cmd results in error and failure of compilation

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

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

because it wasn't defined in the \include file. Is there another file
of definitions where Kurvenunterbrech is defined? If so just \include
it and it should work. That took a *long* time to compile. :)

new autobeam settings not working for me
Having trouble with new autobeam settings. I get the simplest thing to work:
\relative c' {
\time 4/4
\set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(3 3 2)
c8 c c c c c c c
}
Shouldn't this group the 8th notes into 3 + 3 + 2? I can't get the
beaming to change at all no matter what I do.

Ok so now I've been able to make the beaming change if I am in 8/8 or
6/8 but not in 4/4 time, where it stays resolutely in groups of 4 + 4
8th notes. How do I alter the beaming of a 4/4 bar?

Hi,
I suppose it is due to beamExceptions that is set for 8th in 4/4

Yep, I had just made and tested the change when this email came in.
This works:
\relative c' {
\time 4/4
\set Timing.baseMoment = #(ly:make-moment 1 8)
\set Timing.beatStructure = #'(3 3 2)
\set Timing.beamExceptions = #'()
c8 c c c c c c c

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
have 2.12 on windows.)

Hi List,
I have another problem here, I tried to find a solution and I couldn't.
Maybe it's very easy.
I'll simplify the examples to make it clear.
I have a line in a PianoStaff (actually it's for Harp in the original) and
there is one single chord in the upper staff that is bigger that has some
notes more suitable for the lower staff, with a bass clef. It's hard because
\autochange and \change Staff DON'T work just for half of a chord, just for
the entire chord. Ah, in this measure there is nothing in the lower staff.
Is there another command that could split the chord between the staff in an
optimal way, so each staff gets the more appropriate notes
I don't know that there's a way for this to happen automatically, but
it's definitely possible to get it to look the way you want. Check the
Granados example on the LP examples page:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/web/examples#Examples
I think it has some of what you're looking for. I'll attach the

(Stripping the code to three stave do not help --- the problem
disappears). Btw, uncommenting page-count and commenting out
system-count gives strange result: lilypond says Solving 2
page-breaking chunks...[1: 3 pages][2: 3 pages] but produces 6 pages
pdf (some pages with 1 system only).
I've attached the (a bit stripped) source and log file.
Please, help :-)
Thank you, really.
I got it to compile by running convert-ly to update syntax (had to add a
version statement first) and then changing the paper block like this:
\paper {
%system-count = #9
% page-count = #3
ragged-bottom = ##f
}
Note that ragged-bottom is now false instead of true. It turns out to have
three pages. Is that what you want?

Folks,
I am creating multiple piano staves with text between them for analysis
on a page.
I would like to make sure that all staves on one page be the same width.
Is there a way to force the line-width to be a certain size AND (sorry for
shouting) force the staves (across separate \begin{lilypond} \end{lilypond}
blocks) to fill the lines so they are the same width across the page?
I have done something like this:
\begin{lilypond}
\layout {
line-width = #150
ragged-last = ##f
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
ragged-right = ##f
ragged-bottom = ##f
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff \with {
\override SpacingSpanner #'uniform-stretching = ##t
}
\set Score.tempoHideNote = ##t
...
...
...
\layout{}
\midi{}
}
\end{lilypond}
I am sure that this is wrong and that I have cut and pasted a bunch of stuff
that I don't really need. Any help that you could give would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
KW
In my counterpoint workbook I use included lilypond files for the
exercises, each of which has the following parameters defined:
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
}
global = {
#(set-global-staff-size 24)
}
With only these two parameters defined, all of my exercises are the
same staffsize and fill the same width of page. If you're interested
you can see the source code and pdf here:

When on Windows I run these commands from the DOS prompt and it works fine. I think the problem is probably related to your $PATH. I remember once having to set up the path so that it could find the lilypond commands, but this last time I set up a windows VM and installed Lilypond, it automatically set up the path correctly.

Re: staff lines blurred on my website

Hello,
I've been using Lilypond to draw examples for my
counterpoint tutorial website at:
http://homepage.eircom.net/~gerfmcc/fugue.htmlhttp://homepage.eircom.net/%7Egerfmcc/fugue.html
The staff lines are somewhat blurred. What is the
likely reason for this? (I'm converting the output to

(As I state on the site that I'm using Lilypond I'd like to
show the best possible output.)

Hi Gerard,
I see the problem and can report that the same thing happens for me when
viewing these things on a screen. Check our own new website, for example
(still in development):
http://lilypond.org/~graham/Examples.html#Examples
Some of the staff lines are blurred on our examples as well. Just now I
tried running a file at a much higher resolution and the problem is still
there. I don't think this has anything to do with Lilypond, but rather with
images being rendered on a screen. When I look at a lilypond pdf file in
either Evince or Acroread, some of the lines are blurred there as well, but
the printed output always looks excellent. Incidentally, I just went to my
iMac and looked at a bunch of .tif files generated by Finale at something
like 1200 dpi, and they also have some blurry staff lines. I don't think
it's specific to Lilypond. These Finale images were made for an article I
published a few years ago and they looked perfect in the printed copy.
Best,
Jon
p.s. it's funny that you should write to the list now, since just a few days
ago one of my faculty colleagues forwarded an email to me about your
counterpoint website. I also have a counterpoint project going, info here in

Yes, you can set it in the \midi block, although the format is a bit more

Re: website: why do you use lilypond?
BTW, have you (Lilypond community) ever thought about recording some *screencasts*? This is the way how many people learn using a program and, even though you might think this could work just with graphics or video software, I guess it may work for lilypond as well.. (at least for new users) I like this idea. I've thought about doing a podcast about Lilypond, but then ran into the problem that it would really need to be a screencast for it to do any good, and I don't have time to learn how to do screencasts. Also, can you improve any examples? I mean, the Goyescas / Granados example and Cary / Baca examples look *wicked awesome*. In contrast, the tablature example bores me to tears, the vocal music example is probably missing a / accent in trou-ve, etc. I'd be really glad to help with the tablature example. I think a modern piece would be better in this case, as tablature are used by modern guitarists. What about a Scott Joplin ragtime arranged for guitar? (it is in the public domain) I guess a good example should show the best features of tablature support in Lilypond.. There are any other requirements? That'd be great, Federico. I think there's still a big ugly blinking help! thing by the tablature example, so I'd be glad to have a different example. BTW the vocal example is a motet that I transcribed from a medieval manuscript facsimile, and I'll be happy to check if there's a missing accent, but I'm pretty sure it's correct (according to Medieval French anyway). I'll check when I get back home, though. Right now I'm in NY on vacation.

Afterwards I turned Point-And-Click off, where it finished after 88s. After that I did a second run with Point-And-Click turned on - now it finished after just 93s. I don't think there are significant differences concerning Point-And-Click. But obviously every first run that Lily does on a file, lasts longer. I don't know what's the reason for it.

I have an orchestral score with 181 bars and 18-20 staves per system, and it compiles in about 7-8 minutes on my laptop (about a year old with 3 GB RAM, dual-core processors, etc) but takes more than an hour on my old eMac (5 years old, 1 GB ram, 1.25Ghz G4 processor).

There is a similar sentence in the right-hand fingering chapter: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond/Common-notation-for-fretted-strings#Right_002dhand-fingerings So why don't you add in the left-hand as well?

Sorry to hear about your frustrations -- I totally understand! And thanks (very much) for alerting us to a potential source of confusion. Remember that LilyPond is still a work-in-progress, and everyone can help! We usually try to clarify sources of confusion pretty quickly, so these reports are useful.

Probably the title should be changed to Controlling the placement of fingerings, because apparently the placement of single-note fingerings is also dependent on the ... construct. The snippet *does* provide examples of single notes enclosed in ..., but I admit it would be easy for a novice to overlook the significance of this. Ok I've updated two of those snippets in LSR to give this explicit warning, something that gave me fits when I was working on the fretted strings section last year, too. We added the example with the single notes in chords at some point but a warning is appropriate here.

Re: Score staff order
When this error appears it's normally something like a missing curly brace.
I can't try to compile your example b/c I don't have all of the source, but
it looks like there might be un-terminated grandstaves near the bottom--see
where I put comments below...

I am working on typesetting Pavane pour une infante Defunte by Ravel but am

\new Staff { \global \clarinettes }
\new Staff { \global \cors }

Here you start a new staffgroup and I don't see the closing

\new Staff { \global \violonstwo }
\new Staff { \altos }
\new GrandStaff
\new Staff { \global \violoncelles }
\new Staff { \global \contrebasses }
Here add and see if that fixes your problem.
I get this error when compiling:

You can rotate objects and markups. I've done a little experiment here that
doesn't look very good yet but may put you on the right track. Search the
Notation Reference manual for rotation, formatting text, positioning
objects, and the like.
\version 2.13.4
\relative c'' {
c-1 d^\markup { \center-align { \rotate #30 - \finger 1 }}
}

In 30 years of playing guitar (jazz and rock), I have never seen this
notation. Is there an example on the Web you can point to? I'd be
interested in seeing how it's used.
This fingering indication is very common in classical guitar music. I see it
all the time but haven't tried to do it in Lilypond before tonight. Peter,
your objections to my initial approach make perfect sense, I just don't know
how to work around them. :)

Hello. I'd like to enter a composer's name into the header of a piece. The
name is spelled both in english and japanese and since both are large I need
to insert a line brake so one name stands just above the other in the usual
place in the page.
Can you advise me on how to do this?
Thanks

I am probably familiar enough with the texinfo and CSS syntax to give you guys a hand. For instance, I should be able to handle the blinking Help wanted boxes (this looks sooo 1996 btw). That's deliberate. We had to specially look up how to make it blink. My specific instructions were make it as ugly as possible. We want to handle the help wanted stuff by doing the required work. Right! We don't need nicer-looking help boxes, we need to get rid of them! Folks, please, send something to me if you have nice-looking examples with some wow to them in any of these categories: 1. tablature 2. orchestra/opera/wind ensemble--something really big (surely someone has something better than my piece!) 3. pop music (something with a free enough license that we can use it) 4. some kind of world music 5. Something for use in music theory classes or other educational purposes that looks better than my counterpoint example--something with text balloons, colored noteheads, or whatever might be used in teaching music.

Ok, but the important questions still remain: 1. Do we want to display *different* images after a click, or just *expanded* images? I vote for expanded images, not different ones, just so people can see them at a higher resolution and see how nice they look. 2. Is this an important feature? (if so, we can't use javascript) 3. Who's going to create the .ly files, write the makefile, etc? If the first two answers are no, no, then I'll do the third.

I think I see why there are fewer contributor than Graham and Patrick etc. would like: being a contributor comes with a learning curve that many of us just do not have time to master. I think there'd be more contributors if contributing was a simple process (and not so Linux-centric): installing git and all its myriad dependencies, learning texinfo, etc. I simply don't have time for all that. I'm happy to write text, revise text, proof-read etc. for the Web site and the docs, but I'd submit anything in text or HTML. I'm happy to format stuff as texinfo for you if you want to write text for the website, for example the inspirational essay why to use Lilypond that (I think) we're still looking for, or if you want to revise text in the docs, call our attention to typos and so forth. If someone comes along as says exactly where there's a problem in the docs and provides (even in an email) an exact line with which to replace it, then to me that's a significant contribution and I'm happy to integrate it to the docs.
