I've been searching through the documentation, and the index for
same...but I don't see any reference to this. Explain, please?
Mischa,
Don't forget to use reply to all so that
your messages show up on the mailing list.
ragged-last-bottom is here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/user/lilypond/Page-formatting#Other-layout-variables
The documentation for the other 3 were only
added to the source files recently:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=lilypond.git;a=commit;h=777290146739b3896eacd2b65d5d87b2826603e9
So they won't appear in the docs until 2.13.1
is released. Of the three, it looks like only
systems-per-page is available in 2.13.0.
So you can try this:
\paper {
systems-per-page = #3
}
But you should also try this:
\paper {
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
}
hope this helps
- Mark
Mark, thanks for your help (ie. Reply to ALL)
My question would be:
WHERE do I plug in the
\paper {
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
}
?
Here is a copy of my score...

Vertical Spacing question
Hello All, I'm using version 2.12.1, and my piece utilizes a GrandStaff with 6 Staffs. The .pdf file generated shows all the pages, except for the final page, with a big space between two GrandStaffs. I would like to modify the spacing so that three GS's would show on each page. Is this possible? Thanks-in-advance, Mischa ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
SPACING AND MIDI ISSUES
Hello All,
I have a piece that currently is 84 pages in length.
It is 6 voices in harmony. When the pdf files is generated, however,
each page shows six lines at the top, a GAP, and then 6 lines again at
the bottom...until the final page...when there are 6 lines followed by
six lines - NO gap.
The other issue is the generating of a midi file. The score has what I
assume to be the proper \midi { } placement since there are no error
messages...but I don't see any midi file being created.
The spacing issue is a bit more crucial, since losing that GAP would
cut-down on the number of printed pages required.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Mischa

Trying to do a piece with 6 seperate voices. The first 4 measures look
fine, but I'm not able to go any further!
Sounds interesting; can you please post some of your code?
Regards,

Valentin, thanks for being interested :-) .
I have a feeling, right off the bat, that there's probably too much
here here, so any tips on less code would be appreciated also.
\parallelMusic #'(voiceA voiceB voiceC voiceD voiceE voiceF) {
voiceA = \relative c'' {
\time 4/4
\key g \major
{g'4 fis4 d8[e b c]}{d4 fis4 d4 b4}{a8[b] \times 2/3 {c d c}d8[g fis
d]}{c4 a2 g4}
(g4 fis...(this phrase repeats)
}
voiceB = \relative c {
\time 4/4
\key g \major
{d'8[e] fis4 g8[a] c4}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}{d8[e] fis4 g8[a] c4}{e4
c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}
{d8[e]...(this also repeats as above)
}
this set-up is the same all the way through voiceF, with out the
parenthetical notes for you
}
}
\new GrandStaff
\new Staff \new Voice \voiceA
(etc., to)
\new Staff \new Voice \voiceF
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
Well, that's the gist of it. Even though I've entered the code for
additional measures, all the pdf shows is the initial 4.
Thnx again for your help.

OK Valentin, I tried it (first) totally as you wrote...this did NOT
generate a .pdf file for me(or anyone else) to see :-( .
But, using some of what you've shown me...but keeping my { }'s [ ]'s
;-) , I plugged my code so it was like this:
\version 2.10.0
timeAndKey = {\time 4/4 \key g \major}
voiceA = \relative c'' {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 4 {g'4 fis4 d8[e b c]}{d4 fis4 d4 b4}{a8[b] \times 2/3 {c
d c} d8[g fis d]}{c4 a2 g4}
}
voiceB = \relative c {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 2 {d'8[e] fis4 g8[a] c4}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}
}
voiceC = \relative c {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 3 {b4 a4 b4 e4}{g4 a4 fis4 e4~}{e4 c4 c8[d] r4}
}
voiceD = \relative c {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 7 {r1}{r1}{g'4 fis4 d8[e b c]}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}{a8[b]
\times 2/3 {c8 d c} d8[g fis d]}{e4 c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}{r1}
}
voiceE = \relative c' {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 5 {c'2 b8[d c b]}{a4 b4 g2~}{g2 b8[d c b]}{c4 fis4 \times
2/3 {e8 d e} d4~}{d4 a2 r4}
}
voiceF = \relative c {\timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 8 {g'2(e2}{c2) r2}{e2(c2}{c2) r2}{fis'2(d2}{b2) r2}{d2
b2)}{g1)}
}
\new GrandStaff
\new Staff \voiceA
\new Staff \voiceB
\new Staff \voiceC
\new Staff \voiceD
\new Staff \voiceE
\new Staff \voiceF
\layout { }
\midi { }
Now, what happened here is that the first measure of each phrase gets
repeated, rather than the entire phrase.
How to do THAT? Also, LilypondTool via jEdit isn't generating a MIDI
file either.
Just to clear-up any confusion, the IDEA behind this piece is that each
phrase/Voice is repeated UNTIL the next vertical chord would be
identical to the first vertical chord. In other words, the last chord
for this piece is the same as the first...g b d r c g. Pretty cerebral, eh?
Any way, that's where it stands right now. The ball is in anyone's court
:-D .

Hello all. Trying to do a piece with 6 seperate voices. The first 4 measures look fine, but I'm not able to go any further! Using version 2.10.0, on a Windows 98 box...which has worked fine for me this far. I've written a total of eight measures for each voice, but the pdf only will show the first 4. Suggestions?

Problem that needs help
Running Lilypond 2.10.0 and jEdit 4.3pre8 and Java 1.5.0_10, and things have been OK. Background...I had a file which I removed ~84 bars from. Decided to restore those bars by typing them in. Began processing and this is the result...no .pdf file is part of the result (but WHY?), and if I try playing the .midi file, what I'm hearing is some kind of shifting of the treble and bass parts...hearing harmonies that are NOT part of the score.
