Re: mixed piano bracket style

Re: fonts on windows
Abraham, If a user follows your steps, Windows will by default put the font in a folder somewhere designated for the local user only. To install a font for all users (as one currently has to do to get Lilypond to see it), one has to right click on the font and select "run as administrator". Windows 11 adds an extra (unnecessary in my opinion) step of having to select "more options" to get to "run as administrator". By the way, Abraham, I've used and very much enjoyed your music fonts for Lilypond over the years!

Re: fonts on windows
Windows shows some sort of other font interface when one navigates to windows/fonts. It doesn't try to look like a normal directory. The Windows user does not have direct access to a folder named "windows/fonts", or if she or he does, I don't know how to find it. If installing a font correctly in the operating system doesn't give Lilypond access to it, I think it's fair to say that Lilypond is broken when handling text fonts in Windows.

Re: fonts on windows
I'm pretty sure text fonts on Windows are kaput. Some work, some don't. The fonts I'd like to use show up as installed properly in Settings and work in all other apps I've tried, but not Lilypond. I'm on Windows 11, but I've also tried on Windows 10.

Error code -1073741819 with tie and tenuto
I was setting a song by Lior Novak and got an error message 1073741819 with
these chords:

If I remove either the tie or the tenuto on the first chord, it compiles
fine.
I got around the problem by tying the notes individually ( ),
but I don't understand why the tying the whole chord that also has a tenuto
throws an error message.

Well, having staves of different sizes run in parallel is certainly helpful in some cases. Thanks for showing me how to do that.

Re: changing staff-size throughout a score
If this is possible, it would be very nice to know how to do.

Re: Version 2.18 vs.2.19 speed and W10
I'm not sure it's due to a change between v2.19.46 and 47. For most of the summer, I had been running an older development version and an older version of Frescobaldi for a while, and they were running fine. I hadn't run Lilypond in a few weeks, and in the meantime Windows 10 updated to the "Anniversary edition". When I ran Lilypond again two days ago, it was 20 times slower. Trying to fix that, I updated Lilypond and Frescobaldi to the newest versions, but that didn't help. So, while I can't tell exactly what caused the extreme reduction in speed, I can confirm that Lilypond on the current version of Windows runs dramatically slower with versions somewhat older than 2.19.47. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Version-2-18-vs-2-19-speed-and-W10-tp194256p194332.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Changing default fingering location for lower staff in a grand staff
Is there a way to set the default location for fingering in the lower staff of a grand staff to be below the staff rather than above? I realize that I can write, e.g., "c_1" instead of "c-1" every time. However, after a few years of using Lilypond, I have wasted so much time fixing my errors (both accidentally putting the fingering above in the lower staff and below in the upper staff after having worked in the bass clef for a while) that I would really like to be able to just use the default "c-1" and have Lilypond know the correct default location. (To be honest, it kind of irks me that Lilypond doesn't know the standard default location of fingering for the lower staff. Putting the fingering below (except, of course, when there are multiple voices) has been the standard for a long time in printed music. It seems to me that if a user writes "c-1" for a bass clef note in a grand staff, Lilypond should put the finger number below the staff by default.) I apologize if this is in the manual or the snippet repository, but I couldn't find it. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Changing-default-fingering-location-for-lower-staff-in-a-grand-staff-tp191855.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Henle app
I downloaded the Henle library app on my iPad. It's pretty bare-bones, especially from what I'm used to in forScore, but I'm sure over time they'll add features over time. Very few scores are available. For example, for piano, there are only the Beethoven and Mozart sonatas, Bach Well-Tempered, and Chopin Etudes and Waltzes. The metronome can't be set to any tempo, only multiples of 4. I wish I could just zoom in on the score to fill the screen without changing the original layout like I can with forScore.

Re: How write cross-staff slur (in combination with lyrics)
This isn't meant to be sung by a singer. This is from a beginner's piano method (I'm a piano teacher). The words are to give a sense of the stress in the meter, to give the player an idea of the mood of the piece, and possibly for the player to sing along. The slurs, though, are entirely for the pianist and have nothing to do with the lyrics. I don't really have an opinion if it is a good idea to introduce young musicians to non-standard notation. Personally, my students and I pretty much ignore the texts (which are usually of poor quality anyway) and play as it were a normal piano score. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/How-write-cross-staff-slur-in-combination-with-lyrics-tp182033p182126.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Pianostaff 4-part writing and rests
I just engraved a piece for which the standard solutions given in this thread worked especially badly. There were many 8th notes alternating with 8th rests (which should be merged by Lilypond, but can't be automatically), so switching back and forth between a polyphonic structure and \oneVoice was not workable. I used b8\rest for centering the rests in the treble clef and d8\rest for the bass, but then the singer wanted me to transpose the whole score down a step, and I had to manually rewrite all the 8th rests in the score which got transposed too. Not fun. Rests in multiple voices not merging by default or having a setting to merge them is one of the two most common frustrations I encounter with Lilypond (the staves in a grand staff failing to widen to allow for cross-staff beams is the other). -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Pianostaff-4-part-writing-and-rests-tp170926p171659.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Experiences from voice handling wanted
I think you just have to remember to use \oneVoice or \stemNeutral when the
2nd voice isn't playing.
If the 2nd voice is coming and going frequently, you are much better off
using
{ \voiceOne
Music goes here
}
\new Voice {
{ \voiceTwo
Music goes here
}
}
\oneVoice
This way, when the voices split in two, the first voice can continue using a
slur it had begun before the voices split. If you use { } \\ {} to
split the voices, you'll get Cannot terminate slur errors, and then you
have to start the second voice before you really want to, fill it with
spacer rests and manually change the stemming -- no fun.

Re: How to structure piano music?
In my experience, { } \\ {} will sometimes for for a short section with
multiple voices, but if there was a slur already under way before the voices
split or a slur that continues after the voices merge, it won't work. In
that case, { \voiceOne } \new Voice { \voiceTwo } \oneVoice works much
better.
Unfortunately, if you're setting something like a fugue that has a voice
moving between the two staves, manually setting the stem direction seems to
be unavoidable. Defining a few variables helps:
goUp = { \change Staff = right \stemDown }
goDown = { \change Staff = left \stemUp }
Don't forget \stemNeutral when the extra voice leaves the staff too.

Thanks for the reply. My scanner's broken, but there are two scans of the Rachmaninoff prelude at IMSLP: http://imslp.org/wiki/Etudes-tableaux,_Op.33_%28Rachmaninoff,_Sergei%29 The first edition at IMSLP lists the G minor prelude as the 8th prelude; the second one lists it as the 7th prelude. In the second edition (which is a little better), it's the 7th etude, 3rd page, 3rd system. It's pretty clear what's wrong with the Lilypond output: the beams cross right over the note heads. http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n153592/Rachmaninoff_Prelude_Op._33_No._7_clip.png -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/What-s-the-best-way-to-fix-these-beams-and-staff-spacing-tp153566p153592.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Finale bug from Lilypond Essay found in commercial score
I'm typesetting Earl Wild's piano transcription of Rachmaninoff's In the Silent Night in Lilypond for my own use. The original is set using Finale from around 1990 (the copyright date). In bar 31, there's a B sharp in the second voice in the right hand, and later in the bar, an octave B natural in the first voice. However, the engraver has forgotten to draw a natural sign in front of one of the B's in the first voice. I confirmed that the natural is intended by listening to Wild's own recording. This is the exact same Finale bug mentioned in the Bach Fugue example from the Essay on Automated Music Engraving on the Lilypond site!

Hiding one empty staff of three-staff piano score but not two

to be displayed only on the first system?

Half and whole rests with no staff lines
I'm making some rhythm exercises for my piano students with no staff lines
(which is the way it is usually done in piano methods). Everything looks
fine except for the half and whole rests which don't have the traditional
little extra lines above and below them to make them distinguishable. Can
anyone point me to a way to add these?
\version 2.16.1
\new Staff
\relative c'' {
\override Staff.Clef #'stencil = ##f
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f
g4 g r2 | r1 | g2 r | \bar |. }
Thanks,
Michael

Centering text between keyboard staves along with dynamics
Often, rather than just dynamics (pp) centered between staves, piano music
adds a modifier (pp dolce). If I try to add the modifier as a text markup
in a dynamic context, the text isn't centered or aligned with the other
dynamics. Is there a better way to do this?
\version 2.16.1
right = \relative c'' {
c2 c |
}
left = \relative c' {
c2 c |
}
dynam = {
s2\mf s-\markup {\dynamic mp \italic dolce}
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff
\new Staff = right \right
\new Dynamics \dynam
\new Staff = left { \clef bass \left }
}

Removing Rest_engraver or another solution
I'm making theory tests for students, and I'm trying to print a blank staff
(except for a clef and bar lines) divided into two, three or four equal
measures in which students will draw scales, triads or key signatures. Below
each measure will be centered text telling the students what to draw. I
first tried using s1 rests, but the text wasn't centered. Switching to R1
centers the text and make the measures equal length, but I can't figure out
how to remove the Rest_engraver to make the bar rests disappear.
I think what I've got is short enough to post the whole thing:
\version 2.16.1
#(set-global-staff-size 30)
\paper {
line-width = 7.5\in
left-margin = 0.5\in
ragged-last-bottom = ##f
}
\score {
{
R1_\markup { \null \lower #3 C major triad } |
R1_\markup { \null \lower #3 G major triad } |
R1_\markup { \null \lower #3 F major triad }
\break
s1
}
\layout {
indent = 0\in
\context {
\Staff
\remove Time_signature_engraver
}
\context {
\Score
\remove Bar_number_engraver
}
}
}
Thanks for any help,
Michael

Requesting an addition
I'm not sure if this the right place to ask this, but I'd be willing to send somebody some money via Paypal to add the so-called Haydn turn (reversed turn with vertical slash) to Lilypond. There were a couple of posts from 2009 on doing this, but in the current stable version of Lilypond the resulting ornaments are off-center from their notes. Besides, Haydn is a major composer, and this ornament is all over his keyboard works, so I think it should be an official part of Lilypond. I have no idea how much work this would take and what the going rate for a feature like this is.

Re: roman numerals
It would be very nice if Roman numeral analysis were integrated with figured
bass in Lilypond. David's code works very well for chorale textures.
However, because durations aren't specified, if the left hand of a piano
part, for instance, has 16th note arpeggios but only one harmony, one needs
to input \markup \rN {} a huge number of times for each measure.
Anyway, now that we know who wrote it the code, thank you, David. Roman
numerals were the one thing that made me have to go back to Sibelius, and
now I don't have to.

Re: roman numerals
As far as I know, Lilypond doesn't support Roman numeral analysis. I can't find it anywhere in the documentation, at least. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, because I would love to be able to do it. The snippet posted in the original post doesn't work for me. I don't think \rN is a real command. I can't get 2.16.1 to recognize it. I have tried to add Roman numerals to figured bass in Lilypond with \markup commands, but it looks very wrong. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/roman-numerals-tp136585p136632.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: One staff, two voices
Also, the Mutopia project (www.mutopiaproject.org/) hosts most of the WTC in lilypond format. You're probably going to need to move that second voice down to the bass clef at some point and then back. Taking a look at the samples at Mutopia helped me quite a bit. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/One-staff-two-voices-tp135429p135447.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Centering lyrics in piano music for children
Most beginning children's piano music uses a format with a single-line melody
broken between the treble and bass clefs and lyrics written in between. I'm
assuming LilyPond doesn't have a way to automatically attach some lyrics to
the treble and some to the bass as needed, so I'm trying to do this
manually. My two problems are that the bass lyrics are not centered because
I don't really understand how staff-centered lyrics work, and that sometimes
a hyphenated word needs to be split between two notes, one in the treble and
one in the bass.
right = \relative c' {
c2 c | s1 | c2 e4 f | g1 |
}
left = \relative c' {

Re: Hiding staff without hiding bar lines
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'stencil = ##f That works perfectly. I don't even need to worry about the ledger lines because it's all one one pitch on the staff -- purely a rhythm exercise. It makes sense that stopping the staff entirely would make the bar lines infinitely short; if I wanted a three-line staff, for example, I wouldn't want the bar lines to be five lines tall. Thanks for the help, everyone. Once I've got templates for all my exercises and tests, modifying them should be pretty fast and easy. -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Hiding-staff-without-hiding-bar-lines-tp131685p131763.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Hiding staff without hiding bar lines
I'm a relatively new LilyPond user, so I apologize if this is something I should have found in the manual. I'm trying to use LilyPond to make worksheets and theory tests, so I need to hide elements for students to fill in themselves. I also need to notate rhythms without a staff. I know that rhythms can be notated on a one-line percussion staff, but I really prefer the look of no staff with full bar lines. I've figured out how to hide clefs, time signatures, bar lines and the entire staff. My problem is that \stopStaff seems to also hide all bar lines. Often, this is what I want, but other times I need the bar lines to be visible. Is there another way to hide the staff, or is there a way to make the bar lines reappear with \stopStaff? -Michael -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Hiding-staff-without-hiding-bar-lines-tp131685.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
