snow leopard?
After I installed Snow Leopard, Lilypond grabs the CPU and seems to get into a loop. Are others having such a problem? Even better, does anyone have a solution? The OS is 10.6.1; Lilypond is the current development version 2.13.3-0. Lewy ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
scoop before note
I'm curious about what others are doing to print a "scoop" -- a curved gliss into a note with no particular starting note. It's common in jazz and occasionally in more modern band and orchestra music, especially show music. It looks like a "doit" but comes before and leads into a note. I've seen several attempts at this, but nothing I've tried seems to work. I'm a trombone player, so I see these things often. Falls and doits are under control, but scoops still elude me.

need room for fall
I have this fragment: f2~f8 \bendAfter #-4 f | r2 r8 c d f~ | which produces a "fall" in jazz idiom. EXCEPT the fall ends at the bar line, resulting in a short, near-vertical line. I need either for the fall to cross the bar line into the next measure, or to somehow add space between the last note and the bar line. Any ideas?

looking for examples
I'm working on pieces for 5 trombones and rhythm in a jazz idiom. Writing individual bits and pieces is ok, but putting things together is causing me grief. In particular, problems include combining chords for piano with occasional non-chorded notes, writing down solo sections as chords with slashes for beats, and generally organizing things so both a score and individual parts can be produced without repeating lots of data entry. I've been to the much improved (thank you) documentation which is generally very accesible on-line, sample snippets, and what examples I can find on the site with some success. I think I'm at the point where seeing a well assembled complete piece would answer a lot of questions. I tried Mutopia, but found nothing in the idiom. I'm still looking, but it seems appropriate to ask others for guidance. So could you stear me to some complete charts with a combination of rhythm (piano chords, bass, drums) and solo instrument parts? Except for chords vs. notes, I don't think the jazz idiom is a problem. Falls, doits, etc. are under control. It's more the assembly that has me stumbling around looking for light.

Segno and rehearsal mark
I need to write a segno above a rehearsal mark since they coincide. The example in the snippet repository fails. This must be a common problem. How do I move the segno so it is positioned above the rehearsal mark? Lewy ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
grace notes after repeat bar
I'm running Lilypond 12 on a Mac, using an external editor (TextMate), which
generally works
quite well. But I play trombone, and must create parts and scores involving
sliding into
notes. Lilypond produces some bizarre output. The example below illustrates
the ugly output my
innocence led me into when I print a score. (Print the first example to
see.)
The lilypond docs address this under grace notes.
Grace note synchronization can also lead to surprises. Staff notation, such
as key signatures,
bar lines, etc., are also synchronized. Take care when you mix staves with
grace notes and
staves without, for example,
\relative c'' {
<< \new Staff { e4 \bar "|:" \grace c16 d4 }
\new Staff { c4 \bar "|:" d4 } >>
}
The "solution" is to include skips in all other parts, for example:
\relative c'' {
<< \new Staff { e4 \bar "|:" \grace c16 d4 }
\new Staff { c4 \bar "|:" \grace s16 d4 } >>
}
This seems a little less than ideal (read "I consider it a bug"). One must
alter one part to
accommodate characteristics of another part. Is there a way to avoid this
problem which doesn't
involve putting stuff into a part which (arguably, I guess) isn't really
present in that part?
A scoop might do the job, but isn't defined in Lilypond. I've seen them
presented, though, and
will go searching for how to draw them if that's the answer.

editor for windows
I use a Mac and an external editor ... BUT ... I have a friend with a Windows system. He asked me to recommend an editor to use with Lilypond files. Any recommendations? Lewy ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
leopard in the pond
It appears that 2.11 for Leopard (Mac OS 10.5.x) is on hold. Is there intent to produce a binary for Leopard? If so, is there any time frame as in soon, some day, long time, whatever? Lewy ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
