Lilypond 4 rpm problems
I'm having a hell of a time installing v.4. I'm being plagued with one dependency issue after another (I'm running Mandrake Linux 9.2). Has anyone else encountered this? I hit the ultimate roadblock while trying to install libMagick5. No matter where I obtain the rpm the install fails.

Chord Symbol Problems
It's been a while since I worked with Lilypond. I'm still getting the capital M instead of a delta (triangle) when engraving maj7 chord symbols. Has this bug been fixed? Also, I'm at a loss trying to figure out how to notate a m7b5. How is this done? -- Gxis Revida, S L Raymond Support School Choice initiatives. Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day.

Re: Major Seventh Chord Nomenclature
Still having a problem with the latest stable version's chord output. I'm getting capital M's instead of triangles. Is there a fix, or are we still waiting for an update? The regression test (big) http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.2/input/regression/out-www/collated-files.html#chord-name-major7.ly shows triangles, so you'll have to provide more information. Do you have the tex math (msam) fonts installed? They might be found in a package called tetex-extra. Jan.

Duplicate Alternate Repeat Brackets
I recently posted a question involving repeat brackets colliding with chord
names. Thanks to Matts Bengtsson for the solution. However, after
implementing the solution, I now have a new problem.
On the topmost of three staves, the repeat brackets are duplicated. The old
brackets remain, and new ones have appeared where I want them. How do I
eliminate the old brackets?
The relevant code segment follows:
\score {
\notes
\context ChordNames \with { voltaOnThisStaff = ##t } {
\transpose c a \changes
}
\context Staff = one \relative d' {
\set Staff.instrument = #Alto Sax
\key c \major

\repeat volta 2 {

Changes in Line Spacing between versions
I just upgraded to the latest version of Lilypond, and I noticed that line spacing in a single part has increased - a bit beyond what I am comfortable with. The title is now unattractively close to the top line, and there is a significantly larger area of whitespace between lines. Where can I find documentation that deals specifically with this issue?

Creating Lead Sheets
I've searched all available documentation and I can't find a good summary of the nomenclature for chord symbols, beyond simple maj, min, 7th, and dim. For example, I'm having a difficult time with chords like X6/9 and X7b9. Isn't there a source which provides this information? I think the online documentation could really benefit from a chart of chord symbols. All the examples I've seen that use more complex chords only generate the chord symbol from notes within .

Re: Update on my question re. lilypond-book.
I figured that out, and even wrote a shell script that handles the whole job.
The new question is this:
My lilypond code is embedded in chapter1.latex. Chapter One of my book is a
separate file which contains no \documentclass{} heading. Lilypond-book
doesn't like this. How is this handled?

Not at the moment, since the TeX code generated by LilyPond that is
included for each \begin{lilypond}...\end{lilypond} contains embedded
Postscript commands that pdflatex cannot handle.
The recommended solution for the moment is latex+dvips+ps2pdf, see
the manual of lilypond-book for details.

Trouble with lilypond-book
I'm confused...
I'm working on a theory book for guitarists. In the book, fretboard diagrams
are created by first importing a {picture} file, titled open_fretboard.tex,
then superimposing another picture containing x's, o's and whatnot on top of
it. Thus, the structure of a fretboard diagram in chapter one is as follows:
book.tex
^---contains---\input{chapter1.tex}
chapter1.tex
^---contains---\input{open_fretboard}.tex, then \begin{picture}
This works until I want to use lilypond's chord symbols. I tried:
\begin{lilypond}
chord stuff
\end{lilypond}
...inside the {picture} in chapter1.tex, but $lilypond-book book.tex results
in an environment undefined error. Where should the lilypond code go, and
upon what file do I run lilypond-book?

My current piece, Four Brief Statements for Solo Guitar, is thus contained in the directory: ~/Documents/Lilypond/Statements, and contains st1.ly. This is only the second piece I've begun working on w/ LP. The first piece worked fine; all invocations of lilypond produced a .dvi and .pdf file. But while working on Statements, LP only spits out a latex file. What has changed? Do you have any of your output in a separate directory? If so, it might be safer to use an output directory above the current, by using ./out/ or something like that, rather than using a fixed directory like /temp/out or something like that. If you are suggesting that there is a default directory for output, I'd love to find out how to set it.

3. How can I include a transposed series of lead sheet chords above the

4. Finally, if anyone is willing to critique my overall form and syntax I'd

Re: Syntax Highlighting / lilypond.words.vim
I apparently need to find lilypond.words.vim for the operation to be complete. Where can I get it? It should be distributed with LilyPond. You don't say which package you installed so we can't help more; recent Debian packages put it into /usr/share/doc/lilypond. Tell at least a version number so that somebody can send one to you. -- Feri. I'm using Lilypond ver. 2.1.0. ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Syntax Highlighting / lilypond.words.vim
I spend most of my time editing in vi, so I cut and pasted Heikki Junes' lilypond.vim file into /syntax and inserted the appropriate text into filetype.vim, but now I apparently need to find lilypond.words.vim for the operation to be complete. Where can I get it? ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Hi from new user + two quick questions
Hi, folks. I'm a recent Finale 2000 convert who switched to LLP because it appeals to my aversion to using a mouse. I have a couple of quick questions whose answers aren't readily apparent in the documentation. 1. I write for a jazz quartet. I need to print individual parts, with the instrument name boldly displayed in the upper left of the page. I can only find instructions regarding extracted orchestra parts. How can I simply add the bold text in the corner? 2. This should be simple, but I can't find the answer anywhere: How do I remove page numbers? ___ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
