Installing 2.24
Greetings, I'm feeling rather foolish. I'm running under Windows 10 and use Frescobaldi (3.1.2) as my main interface with LilyPond. I have downloaded LilyPond 2.24 and un-zipped the files. Where is the Go button? How do I install 2.24? I haven't found anything like an install.exe. Am I missing the obvious? Jerry

Re: Horizontal spacing for a few measures
Thank you! The "page-count = 1" worked for this example, so I'll keep it in
my toolbox.
If I wanted to use the #(set-global-staff-size 19.8), where would I put it?
I tried in the \paper { } section and LP told me it didn't belong there and
ignored it.
Thanks again for your help.

Re: Concert pitch question (confused ex-tuba player)
Hi Kenneth,
I use LilyPond v 2.22.1 through Frescobaldi. When I'm dealing with
transposing instruments I arrange everything in C, then transpose the
parts. I would write a trumpet part like this:
trumpet = \transpose c bes {
\global
notes, etc,
}
}
This way I can insert a % to comment out the transposition when I want
Lilypond's MIDI to play it for me:
trumpet = %\transpose c bes {
\global
notes, etc,
%}
}
When printing the parts, I remove the % signs, and they print out in the
transposed key.
Hope this helps.

Midi Instrument: change?
Hi all, Is it possible to change the midi-instrument in the middle of a part? This is particularly useful for strings voices which do occasional pizzicato sections. It seems awfully cumbersome to write a whole part just for 5 or 6 measures of pizzicato. How would the change (and the change back) be coded? Thanks in advance, Jerry
Re: Stanzas and refrain
Hi Carlos,
I do a lot of this sort of thing for my church. I usually use the following
format:
\header { }
global { }
chordNames \ chordmode { \global chord, chord, chord, etc.}
melody = \relative c '' { \global music, music, music, etc }
verse = \lyricmode { \set stanza = "1. " words, words, words, etc, chorus }
\score {
<<
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new Staff { \melody }
\addlyrics { \verse }
\addlyrics { \set stanza = "2. " words, words, words, etc (no chorus) }
\addlyrics { \set stanza = "3. " words, words, words, etc (no chorus) }
>>
Ths words for the chorus only need to be in Verse 1, unless they change
each time. Also, because I'm old, I add this after the '\set stanza' at the
beginning of each word section:
\override LyricText font-size = 3
That makes it a lot easier for these old eyes to read.
Good luck with your work!

Re: convert-ly
Some progress (cheers!): Re-naming the file to convert-ly.py enabled my system to treat it like an executable file. However, now it says it can't open the files: === C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\Christmas>convert-ly.py -e *.ly convert-ly.py (GNU LilyPond) 2.22.1 convert-ly.py: error: *.ly: Unable to open file convert-ly.py: warning: There was 1 error.

However, the multi-word names are separated by dashes, as in "It-Came-Upon-A-Midnight-Clear.ly". Does this confuse convert-ly? Am I missing something else?

Re: convert-ly
Hi all,
Thanks for your many and informative responses. M.Tarenskeen correctly
identified a typo in my PATH command ("C;" instead of "C:"). I corrected
that, but the problem still persists. Here's my latest info from the
Command Prompt:
===
C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\FILE>echo %PATH%
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program
Files
(x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin;C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps;
C:\Users\Jerry\Documents\RPC\Music\FILE>convert-ly *.ly
'convert-ly' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
===
Note: I tried both convert-ly and convert-ly.py, and neither one works for
me.
At some iteration in the past, the PATH command was "[pre-set
paths];C:\Program Files (x86)\LilyPond\usr\bin;"
Is it necessary to have the [pre-set paths] and the quotation marks?

convert-ly
What's the trick for using convert-ly in a Windows Command Prompt window? I copied the convert-ly file into the directory where I want to convert everything in it, and entered convert-ly *.ly. This produced the error message " 'convert-ly' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file". Then I entered convert-ly.py *.ly and it produced the same error message. What's the trick? Thanks, Jerry

Re: Lyrics for ossia staff
Remy,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I have the same problem with this that I
have with the Documentation: it works fine as a snippet, but when I put it
in the entire piece, the ossia staff is below the bass staff, and the ossia
lyrics are beneath the soprano lyrics under the top staff. I need to have
the "ossia" staff above the top (soprano) staff, and the ossia lyrics
associated with the ossia staff.

Lyrics for ossia staff
Hi all,
I expect this has been solved somewhere, but I can't find it. The
documentation is good at explaining how to do something in isolation, but
not so good at explaining how to do something in the middle of a different
structure, such as a choir staff.
Anyway, I have a choir staff to which I want to add an extra staff for the
Soprano I voices. I want the staff to appear at measure 27 and continue
until measure 41 and then stop. I want the extra staff to contain both
music and lyrics.
I was able to get the staff and music to work fairly well using a structure
suggested in a previous discussion on ossia staves. How can I get lyrics to
go with it? The structure follows. Sorry it's so long: I'm not sure where
all the commands need to be placed. If there's a more elegant solution, I'm
all in favor of it, even if it means restructuring the whole piece:
\version "2.18.2"
\header { }
global = {
\key d \major
\time 4/4
\tempo 4=69
\set Score.markFormatter = #format-mark-box-alphabet }
sopI = \relative c'' {
\global
\dynamicUp
* Notes and rests.*
}
ossia = \relative c’’ { \stopStaff s1*25 \startStaff
*Notes and rests for auxiliary staff *
\stopStaff
}
verseSopranoVoice = \lyricmode { *Lyrics here*. }
olyrics = \lyricmode { *Auxiliary lyrics here.* }
altoVoice = *same setup as sopI*
verseAltoVoice = *same setup as sopI*
tenorVoice = *same setup as sopI*
verseTenorVoice = *same setup as sopI*
bassVoice = *same setup as sopI*
verseBassVoice = *same setup as sopI*
sopranoVoicePart = <<
\context Staff = “top” \with {
instrumentName = "Sopranos"
shortInstrumentName = \markup \center-column { "S1" "S2" }
midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
} { \new Voice = “1” \sopI }
<<
\lyrics {
\new Lyrics \lyricsto “1” \verseSopranoVoice }
\new Staff \with {
alignAbove Context = #”top”
\remove “Time_signature_engraver”
\override Clef #’transparent = ##t
} { \ossia }
>>
}
>>
altoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = “Altos”
shortInstrumentName \ \markup \center-column { “A1” “A2” }
midiInstrument = “choir aahs”
} { \altoVoice }
\addlyrics { \verseAltoVoice }
tenorVoicePart = *same setup as altoVoicePart*
bassVoicePart = *same setup as altoVoicePart*
\score {
<<
\sopranoVoicePart
\altoVoicePart
\tenorVoicePart
\bassVoicePart
>>
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
Thanks,

Re: compiling sonata with \include
I bypassed this problem by commenting out the Header information in each
file, then including the header information in the \include file like this:
\markup { \fill-line {
\line { }
\center-column { \abs-fontsize #18 { \bold "We Three Kings of Orient
Are"} }
\line { }
} }
\markup { \fill-line {
\line { John H. Hopkins }
\center-column { }
\line { John H. Hopkins }
} }
\include
"C:/Users/Jerry/Documents/Fam/Family-Carol-Book/We-Three-Kings-of-Orient-Are.ly"
That produced a satisfactory result for my purposes. Hope this helps.

Re: Combining roughly 70 separate files into a single book
When I used this structure I did not use \book or \bookpart. I just used
the \include and \markup. I'll post an example when I get home from work.

How can I link lyrics with a temporary counter-melody?
This is probably documented somewhere, but I am miserably inept at searching archives. I'm writing up a Lead Sheet and the Bridge section has a counter-melody with its own lyrics. I hacked it together using the _"" function, but I hope there's a better way to do it. Please enlighten me or direct me to the correct procedure. Attached is a sample of the coding and the results I've been able to achieve. (The 'Counter-Melody-Coding.png is in case someone can't open the .docx.) Thanks.

Book Structure and Frescobaldi
Hi,
I'm using LilyPond 2.18.2 and Frescobaldi 2.20.0.
When I create music with Frescobaldi, it generates this structure:
\version “2.18.2”
\header { … }
global = { \key f \major
\time 4/4 … }
violin = \relative c’’ { \global … }
clarinet = \relative c’ { \global … }
cello = \relative c’ { \global … }
violinpart = \new Staff \with {
instumentName = “”
shortInstrumentName = “”
} \violin
clarinetpart = [same structure]
cellopart = [same structure]
\score {
<<
\violinpart
\clarinetpart
\cellopart
>>
\layout { }
\midi {
\tempo 4=112|
}
}
The (short) instructions in the LilyPond Notation Reference says to set up
a Book, use this structure:
\book {
\score { ... }
\markup { ... }
}
How can I transfer my Frescobaldi coding into a Book? Do I need to re-enter
everything from scratch? The Notation Reference assures me that a "\score"
can contain a musical expression of any complexity... but I can't get even
the printed example to work. I get error: syntax error, unexpected
NOTENAME_PITCH. What am I missing?
Jerry
