In linux I run timidty on the command line for classical guitar:
>timidity -K -12  -T 50 fugue.midi
-K -12  = semitones 
 -T =  % tempo
I slow it down to listen for errors.
Read man timidity for all the options.

I will write up something for you.
In fact, I will also write a description of the steps to install 
LilyPondTool. 
It took me at least 4 hours to find the information from the web 
sites for java, jedit and LPT and figure out what to do and not 
to do.
Since java and jedit are very general purpose progs I could write 
a simple summary that applies to linux and Lilypond.

The Lilypond 2.6.3  that came with linux Suse 10.0 is too 
old so I downloaded the shell version 2.10.15.

To upgrade with Yast I think you need an rpm distro.
Where would you get that?

Anyway, thanks for the help. I uninstalled and installed 
2.11.37 and it works in jedit and LPT.
During the install I saw the message again about uninstall.
Later I found the file in /home/bin/.
Earlier I couldn't find any reference to it in the web site, 
archives or docs.
I think it should be in the doc Appendix.

Uninstalling Liliypond

2008-01-03 Thread Martin Nopola
I have searched everywhere for the uninstall command so I 
can install the newest version which I downloaded for 
Linux.
I remember seeing it when I installed v 2.10.15.

How do i do it? 
Is it still necessary to uninstall first?

Thanks, I found the default path to be for Windows. My 
computer is linux only, Suse 10.0
I can start learning how to use it now.

jEdit and Lilypond installation

2007-12-26 Thread Martin Nopola
I have been using Lilypond for a year with vim and would 
like to use LilyPondTool with jEdit.
I downloaded both along with the required Java jre in my 
home folder.
jEdit works fine with .ly files and LilyPondTool appears in 
the plugin and the jEdit menu, 
Lilypond appears in the menu but not in the plugin list.
When I run Lilypond from the menu it does nothing.

The instructions say to install the jar file in the jar 
subdirectory but Lilypond has no jar file.
Do I have to download Lilypond again from the plugin menu?

I tried it on a 3 voice guitar part and it worked with a negative 
number in voices one and two but not in voice three.

Guitar fingering and string numbers

2007-01-30 Thread Martin Nopola

\version "2.8.8"   on Suse Linux 10

I have been making beautiful copies of classical guitar music for 
my 8 string guitar. Everything works fine as long as I can copy 
a template such as
\set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
  s4*8

And this works for string number spacing if I enter them as text
\once \override TextScript #'staff-padding = #3.0
        b4^"2" e a2-3     
But the numbers are twice as large as default string numbers.

However, when I try changing variables on my own nothing works.
This is one of my numerous failures
\once \override StringNumberOrientations #' Stringnumber = down
        4-1 fis  e    

How do I set    
fingeringOrientation (up,down,left.right)
StringNumberOrientations (up, down) 
StringNumber #'staff-padding = #2.0
fingerNumber  #'staff-padding

Someday this will all make sense.
