Dear Thomas,
Thnx so much. It works perfectly! I have been fiddling around with the problem
for over half a year. Really: Thanks a lot. Also to Knute and HTH!

Dear list,
a few weeks ago I asked about removing the first empty staff in choir music

answers you gave, I could built the following example, which solved a whole
set of problems.
Now, can anyone come up with an idea how to remove the upper staff in the

Delete Staff in the following command.
You are adding something to the Staff-context-definition here.
LilyPond will be confused by repeating the Staff-context, although you
are in there already.
\override Staff.VerticalAxisGroup.remove-first = ##t
I'm surprised the following works, because noAmbitusAtEnd is defined
for Voice-context
\noAmbitusAtEnd
}
}
}
Though the main problem is that the ambitus appears end-of-line at a
line-break here This adds note-heads to this lines. And as default
this will cause this line alive.
Making them invisible via break-visibility is not enough, they're still there.
You could try to use settings for keep-AliveInterfaces as described here:
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=312
Though, no clue if it will work in real life scores:
\version 2.19.13
keep-AliveInterfaces =
#'(
rhythmic-grob-interface
lyric-interface
stanza-number-interface
percent-repeat-interface
)
musicI = \relative { \repeat unfold 5 { c'4^first voice b' c, g' } }
musicII = \relative { \repeat unfold 5 { c''4_second voice b' c, g' } }
ambitus = \with { \consists Ambitus_engraver }

empty left space in measures
Hi List, In many of my scores for choral pieces I see an effect, that I could not make a minimal example for. So my question is, if anyone has seen this and could point me towards the usual suspects of reasons for this behaviour. Often I see a expanded empty space at the beginning of measures. The measures are engraved with lilypond standard (no tweaks or overrides) and it is obviously not linked to lyrics (I tried leaving them out and changing the length of syllables). I does also not change, if I reduce to one staff or voice. I suspect something linked to chopping the music into measures is the reason, but I have no clue, how to find out more. Maybe it is connected to linebreaking, too. Sorry that the question is so fussy, but I cannot make it more clear. Please see the png below for an example. I’ll appriciate any idea!

Since this particular score I am working on is very extensive and some of the code goes way over my head, I was hoping for an idea where to start minimizing (I was dreaming of something like: start with the vertical spacing - I had that once and it was linked to that). Just an idea or an hint rather then an answer. The programming pros in the list often showed this gut feeling in what area one could look for an error/problem. As soon as I succeeded in making minimal example, half (or more ;-)) of my problem will be solved.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do. For example, why not one Staff and

Right now LilyPond is doing exactly what you told it to do: be silent in the
first voice for five measures.
that is true, only that I thought to have asked lilypond to hide/remove the
lines (including the first lines) of voices, that are silent.
My aim is now, to keep everything like in my not-so-tiny example but have the
empty first staff of the silent voice not printed. Am I missing something
simple? Is there a way?
Thanks to much.

constructing variables

Hi everyone!
is it possible to construct variables from others? I want to construct
\tempo Text 4=80
from the variables
tempoText = Text and
tempoNumber = 4=80
that are defined at two different places in a complicated file structure
(\include)
I tried:
\version 2.19.7
tempoText = Text and
tempoNumber = 4=80
{
\tempo \tempoText \tempoNumber
a4
}
with an without quotation marks, but nothing worked. I suppose I just can’t see
the obvious and just looked for the wrong keywords in the documentation. Can
anyone point me in the right direction.

Re: constructing variables
Hi David and Urs, thanks for your fast replies. David’s suggestion does just very fine. But this begs the question why you don't just assign the whole tempo specification to a single variable. Of course, you are right! But I was using this request as an example for some other questions I had (And they are also answered now!!). The point is, that I have built a template, that makes it possible to print several editions of the same piece. For that I sometimes need the possibiliy to exchange the wording of the tempo into different languages automatically.

Re: Ambitus not in the beginning
Hi Patrick,
thanks for making that easier to see. Since I am not at all familiar with the
procedure once a bug is named a bug (or at least believed to be one), my
question would be: is there any ideas for a work-around?
I was thinking to somehow manually put the ambitus at the beginning of a staff
deliberately without having LP also write one (visible or not) at the end of
the staff before. But that idea exceeds my knowledge of LP code or scheme by
lightyears. :(
best regards,

Re: Ambitus not in the beginning
Hello again,
I have been fiddling around with the ideas and solutions I got from you and
came up with a combination of
1. using a \new Voice with ambitus at a certain point in my score. (Thanx Janek)
2. using the \noAmbitusAtLineEnd definition by David from a post in July.
3. the new \omit function.
The score's first two systems should look like this:
1. System: 2 staves (for tenors + piano without Ambitus) -- 2 in the example
below
2. System: 6 staves (sopranos, altos, tenors, basses + piano with an ambitus
for each vocal voice) -- 1 in the example below
The linebreak is within a measure, letting the 2. system start with an upbeat.
As you can see in the following not so tiny example inserting the ambitus makes
the \RemoveEmptyStaves command ineffective. I suppose that is, because there is
a ambitus at the end of the first Staff in the 1. Voice (unvisible due to
\noAmbitusAtLineEnd).
Is there any way to remove the empty first line never the less?
would be thrilled about any hints…
best regards,
Kai

shape ties/slurs after line break
Hi everyone!
just having finished my largest project so far I have been diving into tweaks
and overrides quite extensively for the first time. I keep being amazed by LP’s
capabilities Some questions have popped up, for which I couldn’t find any
answer in the Manual. Could anyone give me a hint, were to look for it?
Is there a way to shape ties and slurs after a line break? The following tiny
example should show the problem:

#(set-global-staff-size 14)
\paper { ragged-right = ##t tagline = #(set-paper-size a8) }

Re: shape ties/slurs after line break
Dear Janek,
thanks a lot. Works just perfect!
I can not find anything about using two sets of offsets in the link you
provided. And I probably wouldn’t have found it, since it doesn’t mention the
\shape-command. Maybe pointing at \shape would be helpful, especially since it
seems to me, that the „known problem“ can be worked around partly with \shape.
… I take that back!!! I originally read the german translation and the above is
my replay for that (I was automatically referred there?!?!). The english
version has it all. Thanks a lot.

Dear David and Janek,
I see the approach. I was hoping there would be a possibility to insert the
ambitus without redistributing my note to different voices. Now I see, that I
should have done that right from the start. Right now, I have the solo parts
and the choir parts for the tenor in one \voice-context.
I will tell you, when it worked out.

snippet does not work anymore
Hi List, I've been seeing a lot snippets being identified by numbers, but I can't find out, where to search for that number. Reading the manual I stumbled upon a snippet that hast stopped working somewhere between versions 2.16 and 2.17.15. It is in the snippet department in Rhythms under the title of Merging multi-measure rests in a polyphonic part. It actually does not work in the manual for 2.17 either, while in the 2.16-manual everything seemed fine. Find both links below. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#rhythms-merging-multi_002dmeasure-rests-in-a-polyphonic-part http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#rhythms-merging-multi_002dmeasure-rests-in-a-polyphonic-part Is this wanted behaviour?

Re: Question about score count
Hi Jay, that is a great function. Unfortunately I have no knowledge of scheme whatsoever. So I'd like to ask, if there is a simple solution for the following question. I use the described counter and would like to use titles which are defined in a variable instead of the actual text. Let's assume a variable named t. If I write #(numbered-title \t) it will not give out the wanted result. I assume, that for this to work, the function has to be altered in order to accept variables in the place of the title. Is that possible? Would be glad for any suggestions.

Unfortunately die MIDI output gives me a b. That is expected behavior, I
suspect. My question is, wether anyone know a way to practically silence single
notes from the MIDI-output. I would be content, if nothing could be heard
instead of the b. I don't need another sound, or anything. Can someone point
me to the place in the documentation or give me an idea of how to achieve this?

Re: silence single notes in MIDI
Dear Pierre,
thanks very much. That works perfectly. I wasn't aware of that tag-function.
This opens up the solution to some other tasks, that I was facing! Great!

Re: PDF-filename and place

Dear list, when using repeats with alternatives and restricting the volta spanner to one or two bar I get warnings when compiling.

rhythm fragments in different pitches
Hi Everyone,
Although I am positive, that I read about this in the list, I cannot find it
anymore. So I kindly ask for a pointer in the right direction.
I am trying to code a piece with voices that use the same rhythmical fragment
over and over again. I would like to write something like:
\version 2.17.2
rhythm = { s8.[ s16] }
melody = \relative c { a d g f e b}
\score {
\new staff
\relative c { g2 d8 h e4 f }
\applyRhythm \rhythm \melody
\relative c { g2 d8 h e4 f }
\layout { }
}
How do I go about it?

slashSeparator-question
Hi Everyone,
in my scores I usually use the command: system-separator-markup =
\slashSeparator
within the /paper-block. Sometimes at the same time I want very narrow
distances between staves (system-system-spacing). After searching the manuals I
couldn't find an answer to two questions concerning this symbol. I read there,
that I can use any /markup-block for system-separator-markup but:
1. Sometimes the slashSeparator comes very close to the bar-numbering of the
first staff. Is it possible to pad the slashSeparator in any way. For that I
would - as I understand it - have to know the context in which the symbol is
set.
2. I can not change the size (I would like for it to be larger) of the symbol.
If I am not mistaken I would need a possibility to directly name the glyph. But
I can't find a hint, where the gylph comes form (what font, maybe a
glyph-name). Can anyone point me to that information?
Maybe I searched for the wrong keywords or didn't understand the manual. Any
tip is very welcome!…
This sample is showing the problem a little drastically
\version 2.17.2

\new Voice {

Re: slashSeparator-question
Thanks Phil and eluze,
with your information I found my way around. One of the tricks was, that I
didn't recognize, that the separator symbol is constructed from the beam-glyph.
Thanks a lot! I had been fiddling around with that for a long time. Would a
user handle for positioning the separator and a collision avoidance for it be a
feature worthwhile including in a future version of Lilypond?

A search of the source code gives:
slashSeparator = \markup {
\center-align
\vcenter \combine
\beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
\raise #0.7 \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
}
So - as the name implies, system-separator-markup simply uses markup as
its
argument, so you could put any valid markup there, I believe. However, I
don't think there is any collision avoidance done with the separator and
the
staves.
maybe playing with the numbers below could achieve it:
\paper {
mySlashSeparator = \markup {
\left-align
\raise #-2
\combine
\beam #4.0 #.2 #0.24
\raise #0.7
\beam #4.0 #.2 #0.24
}
}
system-separator-markup = \mySlashSeparator
system-system-spacing = #'(
(basic-distance . 12)
(minimum-distance . 5)
(padding . 0)
(stretchability . 99)
)
}
\header {
}
\score {
\new Voice {
\repeat unfold 16 {
c'''4 c' c' c' |
c'4 c' c' c' |
c4 c' c' c' | \break
}
}
}
maybe you also want to shift the sparator horizontally: simply use \hspace
#2 above or look for a more elaborated way in the German LilyPond forum:
http://www.lilypondforum.de/index.php?topic=750.0
as Phil mentioned there seems to be no collision avoidance.

Re: [Frescobaldi] Music view sometimes doesn't open
Hi, Unfortunately my skills are not enough to install Frescobaldi on a Mac but I observed exactly the same behavior using Lilypond via jEdit. IMHO this points towards some cause within the software that Frescobaldi AND JEdit are dependent on. Though I don't have any idea which one. I thought this might help to narrow down the cause for the described behavior. Best regards, Kai ... von unterwegs gesendet! Am 20.08.2012 um 06:12 schrieb James Harkins jamshar...@gmail.com: First off, I've switched from Emacs LilyPond-mode to Frescobaldi 2. Amazing, incredible work! SO much easier to write. (And I love the ease of updating via git.) But... I'm not sure if this is the right place to report a small confusing behavior in Frescobaldi 2. Sometimes, when opening a ly file, the corresponding PDF (which does exist on disk) is not simultaneously opened in the Music View. But, sometimes it does open. I haven't been able to figure out any consistent criterion that would cause one behavior or the other. My best guess is that the source file might have a later modified timestamp than the PDF, but I don't have solid proof of that. I guess the ideal behavior I'd like to see is to open the PDF every time. If the source file was modified later, an overlay could appear in the music view saying that the music view might be out of date and the user should re-render (ctrl-m). It might also make sense to disable clicking on the notes in that case, since there is no guarantee that the PDF links will point to the right place in the source file anymore. If that isn't feasible, then it would be better to clear the music view and show some text to explain why the view is empty. Here's an example of where the current behavior gets really confusing: 1. Open one ly file. The music view shows the PDF corresponding to that file. 2. Open another ly file, but for some reason, the music view doesn't update. Now you're looking at the source code for one file on the left and the rendered result for a different file on the right, with no warning in the interface that there is any discrepancy. ! This is picking a nit, I admit, and it's easily worked around by re-rendering. But it's not ideal behavior, and if it's a very big project that takes several minutes to render, the annoyance factor would increase. This doesn't change my opinion of Frescobaldi as an [expletive deleted] brilliant editor!

position of markup and eps
Hi List,
I want to add some information on the composer under the score. it should have

* Picture and first line of text at the wanted places, but the second line of

* Picture at the right place and text justified but pushed to about the middle
of the page and consequently going over the edge of the page.
my last try looked like this.

Re: position of markup and eps
Hi Thomas,
thanks, that solves the first problem. Now I am left with a readable result but
there is a lot of white space between the picture on the left and the text on
the right (about 6cm of white). Is there a way, I can influence that? Like
pulling the text closer to the picture? Also I noticed, that the upper edge of
the picture is positioned slightly below the upper edge of the letters in the
text's first line. Is there a tweak for that?

Hi Thomas,
thanks, that solves the first problem. Now I am left with a readable result
but there is a lot of white space between the picture on the left and the
text on the right (about 6cm of white). Is there a way, I can influence
that? Like pulling the text closer to the picture?
That's the way \fill-line works.
You could try sth like \fill-line { \null arg1 \null arg2 \null },
but my own tries with that approach weren't sufficient, even if I
replace \null with \hspace #x.
Instead I'd suggest to use \line and \hspace #x to place the args manually.
-code below
Also I noticed, that the
upper edge of the picture is positioned slightly below the upper edge of the
letters in the text's first line. Is there a tweak for that?
It will work, if you add \general-align #Y #UP before the second
argument of the markup.
best regards,
Kai
Here's the code, including some other minor changes in order to simplify it.
\version 2.15.39
\markup {
\column {
\vspace #10
\line {

\general-align #Y #UP { \epsfile #X #20

error with lilypond-book
Hi all, I am trying to get my way into lilypond-book. After reading the manual, I started and got the following error (using \version 2.15.40 with jEdit5.0pre1 on a Mac with OS 10.7.4) when I invoke lilypond-book: (command: lilypond-book.py --format=latex %buffer) Error running external command.

horizontal shift
Hi List, is there any way to make lilypond shift the visible contents on a page to the _outer_ edge? It would be something like horizontal-shift, while that command within the \paper-block seems to shift the content to the right on _all_ pages (meaning even and odd ones). Did I miss something? otherwise, this feature would be a wish of mine for future development. best regards, Kai ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: horizontal shift
That's it. I definately have to work on my skills to search the manual. I usually use the search mask, that comes integrated in Lilypondtools for jEdit. Maybe I'll just switch to Google...

Re: combining pieces in one book
Hi Jan-Peter,
thanks for the explanation. Right now I am fiddling around with Christophers
idea of splitting up the files in content-files and layout-files. I had this
before and just changed… Oh, well. It sounds logical to me though. and working
with functions is just copy and paste for me, because I don't now the code and
couldn't find an error nor tweak the options.
Thanks also to the others, that gave their comments. Now I have to ponder the
answers. I fear though, I will be back again with more questions… ;-)
best regards,

Hello Kai,
it's the assignment of a variable in lily-syntax:
--snip--
% allowed
musik = \relative c'' { bes a c b }
% not allowed
\score {
musik = \relative c'' { bes a c b }
}
--snip--
that means, that a construct [var = value] (without []) may never be inside
{ ... } or ...
You might trick that:
--snip--
parserDefine = #(define-music-function (parser location name mus)(symbol?
not-null?)
(ly:parser-define! parser name mus)
(make-music 'SequentialMusic 'void #t))
--snip--
and then use
\parserDefine #'musik \relative c'' { c e d b }
parserDefine now is a music-function and can be used anywhere. This way the
variable musik can be assigned and afterwords called via \musik
... but I woudn't recommend it! This might have *side-effects* and can lead
to badly organized code!
HTH
Cheers, Jan-Peter

combining pieces in one book
Hi to all, If this has been answered before, please point me there. I searched the manual several times, but couldn't find an answer, that helped me. I have many pieces for male choir, that are stored as .ly-files in a directory with a subdirectory for every piece. All of them use some files via \include command. Those files are situated in the parent directory. Now I would like to make a book (one PDF with TOC and numbered pages) from several of these pieces. And - to make it more complicated - this book changes in content (the .ly-files are the repertoire, book will be the selection for any given concert. I am searching for a solution to _easily_ make those books without working on the pieces-files. Using \bookpart gave a great number of errors and didn't compile. Can anyone give me a starter, how to go about this? Thanks Kai ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Subject: combining pieces in one book
I have many pieces for male choir, that are stored as .ly-files in a
directory with a subdirectory for every piece. All of them use some files
via \include command. Those files are situated in the parent directory.
Now I would like to make a book (one PDF with TOC and numbered pages) from
several of these pieces. And - to make it more complicated - this book
changes in content (the .ly-files are the repertoire, book will be the
selection for any given concert.
I am searching for a solution to _easily_ make those books without working
on the pieces-files. Using \bookpart gave a great number of errors and
didn't compile. Can anyone give me a starter, how to go about this?
2 obvious options come to mind: lilypond-book, which is documented in the
Usage manual
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/usage/lilypond_002dbook.
I am using a Mac and am not experienced enough to understand the manual and
requirements mentioned there. All the extern programs won't work, telling my,
there is no python to be found. It's there, though - but this should be a new
topic here. Only: lilypond-book has not been a solution so far.
Alternatively, you can simply use \book in the following way:
\book {
\markup { Some text }
\include AFile.ly
}
Sounds good. I did this:
---8---SNIP---
\version 2.15.40
\book {
\markup { 001Test }
\include ../001Test/001Test.ly
}
---8---SNIP---

Re: position of footer
Am 31.5.2012 um 17:26 schrieb -Eluze:
I think you are filling the columns with empty lines - better (and easier)
would be to define a markup item for each case you have (middle pages and
last page):
oddFooterMarkup = \markup
\fill-line {
%% Fuß alle Seiten außer erste und letzte
\on-the-fly #not-last-page
\on-the-fly #not-first-page
\center-column {
\line { \vspace #2 \override #'(span-factor . 2/3) \draw-hline }
\line { \fromproperty #'header:hinweis }
\line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
}
%% Fuß letzte Seite
\on-the-fly #last-page
\center-column {
\line { \vspace #2 \override #'(span-factor . 2/3) \draw-hline }
\line { \fromproperty #'header:hinweis }
\line { \fromproperty #'header:tagline }
\line { \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
}
}
that works for the problem described. Perfect! and logical, too! I always
think: yes, why didn't I think of that myself?.
But now the middle page footers are not centered even though they are in a
\fill-line and \center-column environment. To show, what I mean, I attached the
PDF. Since I did nothing but rearrange the code in the manner you suggested,
this surprises me and I don't know, what is causing the behavior. Any ideas?

position of footer
Dear list,
being on the list for only a few days has given me so many new ideas and input
for improving my scores, that I like to send out my thanks for that first!!!
Now to my latest question: I tweaked the footers in my files with:
%% Einführung der Variable not-last-page
#(define (not-last-page layout props arg)
(if (and (chain-assoc-get 'page:is-bookpart-last-page props #f)
(chain-assoc-get 'page:is-last-bookpart props #f))
empty-stencil
(interpret-markup layout props arg)))
%% Einführung der Variable first-page
#(define (first-page layout props arg)
(if (= (chain-assoc-get 'page:page-number props 0) 1)
(interpret-markup layout props arg)
empty-stencil))
in the \paper block and
oddHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \center-column {
\on-the-fly #first-page \rounded-box
\on-the-fly #first-page \pad-markup #0.3
\on-the-fly #first-page \fromproperty #'header:tonart } }
evenHeaderMarkup = \markup \fill-line { }
oddFooterMarkup = \markup \fill-line { \center-column {
%% Fuß alle Seiten außer erste und letzte
\line { \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page \vspace
#2 \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page \override
#'(span-factor . 2/3) \draw-hline }
\line { \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page
\fromproperty #'header:hinweis }
\line { \on-the-fly #not-last-page \on-the-fly #not-first-page
\fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
%% Fuß letzte Seite
\line { \on-the-fly #last-page \vspace #2 \on-the-fly #last-page
\override #'(span-factor . 2/3) \draw-hline }
\line { \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:hinweis }
\line { \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'header:tagline }
\line { \on-the-fly #last-page \fromproperty #'page:page-number-string }
}
}
in the \header with header:tonart and header:hinweis being defined variables
elsewhere in the header-block
In the PDF the footer on the last page is positioned - as I know it - close to
the bottom of the paper. But the footers on the other pages ist positioned
relative to the lowest system on that page. That usually makes it appear higher
on the page, than on last pages. Does anyone have an idea, why that is this way
and - even better - how I can fix it. Fixing means making the footer relative
to the bottom of the paper on all pages.
\version 2.15.39
Thanks so much.
