Intel Leopard and Smultron

[Josh Parmenter]

Hi all...

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this. I compiled lilypond  
according to the instructions here (thanks by the way!):


http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/

I used MacPorts for the dependencies. Running lilypond from the  
command line works great, and I have it loaded into my path without a  
problem. Running inside Terminal is fine.


However, when I try to run it within another program (e.g. Smultron) I  
get this error:


/opt/local/share/guile/1.8/srfi/srfi-1.scm:223:1: In procedure dynamic- 
link in expression (load-extension "libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-3"  
"scm_init_srfi_1"):
/opt/local/share/guile/1.8/srfi/srfi-1.scm:223:1: file: "libguile-srfi- 
srfi-1-v-3", message: "dlopen(libguile-srfi-srfi-1-v-3.so, 9): image  
not found"


Any ideas? Why would anything compiled on a mac be looking for an .so  
lib instead of a .dylib?


Thanks for help!

Josh

Glissando angle

[Josh Parmenter]

Hi all,

I'm just getting started with LilyPond, and am trying to create a  
spatial notation, and using Glissandos to show duration. My question  
has to do with the middle three notes in the example below.


1) For the connection between the B-flat to the C, then the C to the B- 
flat, is there a way to either just tell the Glissandos to be flat OR  
to predict what value I need for the #'right #'Y parameter? Or - is  
there a way to just draw flat lines from a note head that I just  
haven't found?
2) Assuming that glissandos are the way to go here, is there a way to  
avoid the collision between the C and the flat in the second B-flat?


Thanks for your help.

Best,

Josh

I'm not sure that LilyPond has a parameter to set to do what you

Let's assume your piece is in 4/4 and is 25 measures long.

myBreaks = {
\repeat unfold 25 {
s1 \break
}

}

Then, in your \score block use \myBreaks inside << >> with your  
music expression.  This will force a break after every measure.


Hope this helps.

This is an old thread but I found it in my email box and thought  
I'd respond because I've recently written a script to handle this

shared a script, someone pointed out to me that there was already a  
lilypond command-line option that performed exactly the same thing :)
This is wonderful   If there was a way from the lilypond command  
line to suppress a footer that would make it even better.  We  
wouldn't see things like snippet 464 which has a snippet, a huge  
amount of white space, and then a footer.  Of course you can go into  
your favorite editor and crop manually, but if the footer wasn't on  
there, this script could handle it automagically, and instead of  
having to go in and edit the lilypond file to get rid of the footer,  
could just invoke lilypond with the appropriate command line;)


Patrick


Ok so this script requires the "netpbm" package of image  
manipulation programs.  Anyone who builds Lilypond from source  
probably has it already, but it's easy to get under Linux and Mac.   
for Ubuntu I do "sudo apt-get install netpbm" and for mac "sudo  
port install netpbm".  I see that there's a Windows version but  
I've never tried to install that because I rarely use Windows.  So  
far the script works perfectly for Linux and Mac OSX 10.4 (maybe  
10.5 but I can't try it b/c I don't have one).  A couple of lines  
are different in the Mac version because of the different image  
viewer and different way of invoking lilypond at the command line.


What I find useful about the script is that it prompts the user for  
the desired output resolution and format.  So far I've run it  
successfully at resolutions from 72 to 1200 dpi in png, jpeg, and  
tiff formats.  I suppose you could use any image format for which  
there is a "pnmto___" program, substituting the appropriate text  
for the format.  The script will look for whatever format you type  
in there.


Note, if you want a musical example suitable for inserting in a  
word-processed doc or web page, you might want to remove or comment  
out the header block of your file.


Once you've saved and made the file executable (I keep it in my / 
bin directory so it's in my $PATH), just do "lilyimage foobar.ly"  
and enter the resolution and format when prompted.


I copy below the Linux and Mac versions.  It would be cool if  
someone made it work on Windows, to :)

Re: png cropping

[Josh Parmenter]

I've been following this, and just tested the latest version on OSX...  
quite nice guys!


Perhaps the -V flag can be set to not open the image after it is done?  
This utility will be great for mass creating images (as most command  
line tools are), but having Preview open each one up will get very  
tiring... perhaps if the is no -V passed in, that step can be skipped?


Again - quite nice!

to have to keep separate versions of the script for each one.


2) added a "known issue" comment that the script doesn't handle  
spaces in directory names.  It fails at line 43 (cd $currentdir) if  
the directory of the lilypond source file has a space in the name.

off to you.
Working on this script is making me understand the genius of the  
Unix model.  Someone with no programming experience like me can make  
something that gets a job done using a bunch of tiny tools.  Really  
fun!



... much cool stuff elided...
p.s. now that we have a tool with a version number, I might try  
learning how to write a brief manpage for it.  Good idea?
A most excellent idea!  manedit is your friend.  Complete wysiwyg  
man editor.  Its help has a complete and easy tutorial.  On ubuntu  
it's just *sudo apt-get install manedit*.  Since you're doing that  
I'm adding a -a (about) with your name and mine, some more comments  
so others can modify it more easily, and will call it version  
1.1.1.  I also added a -V=viewer, so I could use, for example  
evince if the output format was ps.  N.B. evince doesn't display  
transparency so if you use it with transparent gifs or pngs you  
might think the transparency gone, but it's not.

Cool.  I'll try this after the kids are in bed tonight.

   One feature it really needs is an ability to handle the  
situation where the output for file.ly is for example, file- 
page1.png and file-page2.png.  You'd have to get a wildcard list of  
things that matched $STEM*.png and loop over them to do the  
conversions, then something like $viewer $STEM*.$FORMAT & at the  
end.  That would make it work as it currently does for most things,  
there'd just be one thing in the list, but still work for the case  
where there's something there.  A generic wildcard is best because  
someone might have done a #(define output-suffix "blablabla") and  
we want to support that case too.  eog will bring up all the pages  
and let you page up and page down through them, and evince will  
bring a a window for each file.  There's enough examples in the  
script so that you could figure out how to do it if you would.  We  
could call it 1.1.2;)  If you don't have time let me know and I'll  
get to it sometime.  If you do, change the version in the script,  
add to the changelog at the top and send me a copy:)  Maybe we  
could donate it to the lilypond project.

Patrick
Yes.  I haven't thought much about multiple-page documents yet  
because for me the object of the script is to produce small images  
of musical examples to use in a research paper or on a website.  Are  
there situations where you want multiple-page examples with  
whitespace cropped like this?  I could see where it'd be nice to  
make a longer document's background transparent.  It's certainly  
worth a try to deal with a longer file.  The more flexible the  
script is, the better, after all. I'll poke around with it this  
weekend, perhaps.


Most recent version attached.

Re: png cropping

[Josh Parmenter]

Not on OSX. You are using the 'open' command, and this will open the  
file regardless of the viewer that is passed in.

Perhaps the -V flag can be set to not open the image after it is  
done? This utility will be great for mass creating images (as most  
command line tools are), but having Preview open each one up will  
get very tiring... perhaps if the is no -V passed in, that step can  
be skipped?

If you enter -V="" then it will do that. (or just -V= )

Thanks for trying it out, Josh!  Glad to hear it worked for you on  
OSX.   Patrick has been dealing with the flags, and I don't really  
understand how to do them, so my very dirty solution would be  
simply to comment out the last bit of the script that opens the  
file :).  I can see how this would be tiresome if you were running  
it on a bunch of files.
It would be cool to have a -q (quiet) mode that didn't have any  
output, just quietly did it's work, and never popped up a viewer.   
Of course it would return a status to tell you if it was successful.

Re: png cropping

[Josh Parmenter]

If you are familiar with scripting, and have Windows, use it as a  
template. But my guess is you will need to find different utilities to  
do the conversion and cropping. This is pretty straight-forward to do,  
since most of these utilities run just fine on linux and mac (though  
most scripts check for the system that is running, and make  
adjustments as needed). The hard work I would say is done (great job  
Jonathan and Patrick!). There is no reason you couldn't use this  
script as a template and make something similar for Windows. I know  
Jonathan used this project as an impetus to learn how to script...  
rather then just complaining, perhaps you can do the same.


Best,

Josh

cropped image files in many different formats suitable for  
insertion into documents (theses, research papers, etc) or web  
pages.  This works equally on Mac and Linux, but not on Windows.


Not on Windows :-( ... Just great :-(

Yes - it probably does (since information is placed into the email
