Fontmap Ghostscript error
Hello,
I have a fresh install of Lilypond 2.17.28 in my home directory (under
~/local/opt/lilypond-2.17.28) on CentOS release 6.4. I do not have sudo
powers. When I try to compile this file, named test.ly:
\version 2.17.28
{
c' e' g' e'
}
using lilypond test.ly, I get:
warning: `(gs -q -dSAFER -dDEVICEWIDTHPOINTS=595.28
-dDEVICEHEIGHTPOINTS=841.89 -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dNOPAUSE -dBATCH

failed (256)
fatal error: failed files: test.ly
And if I invoke using lilypond --verbose test.ly, I get, at the end of the
output,

Re: why does lily prints both a natural and sharp sign?
On p. 125 of my Gardner Read (1964), it says: To cancel the double flat and restore the original single flat, it was formerly required—as cited in the rules on page 123—to write a natural sign plus the single flat. Today the tendency is to use merely the single flat-sign without the natural. It may be less academic, but its meaning is perfectly clear, and it is simpler to write. Cheers, Nick 2011/6/11 Marc Mouries m...@mouries.net: 2011/6/11 Janek Warchoł lemniskata.bernoull...@gmail.com I've looked at Ted Ross, Kurt Stone, Gardner Read and Elaine Gould and can't find any explicit mention of this. AFAIK this was a common practice in XIXth century engraving (a period that LilyPond tries to mimic), but it is considered now obsolete, at least by some people (http://icking-music-archive.org/lists/sottisier/sottieng.pdf page 6). HTH, Janek thanks for the link that's really interesting. I know that Lilypond's goal is to produce score similar to manual hand-graved scores but should lilypond try to mimic obsolete XIXth century engraving rules? Would it be useful to the lilypond community to generate a lilypond version of the excerpt in the referenced document Essay on the true art of music engraving? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Consistent bar number positioning
Thank you! That works!
It does put bar numbers on every staff, though. To fix it, change the
#'break-visibility option in each staff. Tthis is what part of my
\score block looks like:
%% Begin excerpt
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff = womenChoirOne
\override Staff.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t)
\set Staff.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible
5)
\new Voice = SopranosChoirOne {
\looksSlower{\sopranosChoirOneMusic} }
\new Voice = AltosChoirOne {
\looksSlower{\altosChoirOneMusic} }
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = womenChoirOne } {
\lyricsto SopranosChoirOne { \sopranosChoirOneText }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto AltosChoirOne { \altosChoirOneText }
\new Staff = menChoirOne
\override Staff.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #f #f)
\new Voice = TenorsChoirOne {
\looksSlower{\tenorsChoirOneMusic} }
\new Voice = BasesChoirOne {
\looksSlower{\basesChoirOneMusic} }
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = menChoirOne } {
\lyricsto TenorsChoirOne { \tenorsChoirOneText }
}
\new Lyrics \lyricsto BasesChoirOne { \basesChoirOneText }
%% End excerpt
The only problem now is that the bar numbers are a little too cozy to
the brackets when they fall at the beginning of a line. But I fixed
that, too. You can do one of two things:
1. Put this before the first note of a measure that has a number and
falls at the beginning of a system:
\once \override Staff.BarNumber #'X-offset = #-3
OR
2. Turn the bar number centering option on in your \context { \Staff }
block (this fixes it automatically by slightly raising the bar number
to clear the top of the bracket—I actually think it looks quite nice):
\override BarNumber #'self-alignment-X = #CENTER
I noticed that this is also a way to put bar numbers on each group,
i.e. if you have a two-choir piece with a ChoirStaff for each choir,
each ChoirStaff can have bar numbers if you set these options at the
beginning of that group's top staff:
\override Staff.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t)
\set Staff.barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 5) %
or however often you want bar numbers to be visible
Again, thanks, Eluze, and I hope this will be of help to anyone who
wants to do something similar in the future.
Cheers,
Nick

maybe the extra-offset wasn't a good idea since when there is a rest (R1)
and consequently no lyric text the extra-offset is mis-oriented or looses
its base …
an other idea is to move the Bar_number_engraver from the Score to the Staff
context
\score {
\new Staff = staff {
\override Staff.BarNumber #'break-visibility = #'#(#f #t #t)
\set barNumberVisibility = #(every-nth-bar-number-visible 1)
\new Voice = music \relative c'' {

\voiceOne
\repeat unfold 9 { b1 } r2 r4 b4~ b8 b8 b4 b4 b4 \break
R1 \repeat unfold 6 { b1 }
}
\new Lyrics \with { alignAboveContext = staff } \lyricsto music {
\lyricmode {

no -- mi -- ne pa -- tris

}
}
}
}
\layout {

\remove Bar_number_engraver

\context {

\context {
\Lyrics
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing =
#'((basic-distance . 5)
(minimum-distance . 5)
(padding . .75))
}
}
again - this seems to work, but i really don't know if it will not break at
another point!
maybe the developers can tell what to do!?

Re: Removing manual beams when multiplying note values
I would like to keep the option of using either system. And after
further thought, I wouldn't want to remove every beam since the few
sixteenth notes I have would be converted to eighth notes, and I would
want to keep those beams. I did a search for 16 and created these
commands to place before and after those instances:
removeBeams = \override Beam #'stencil = ##f
showBeams = \override Beam #'stencil = ##t
If I'm compiling without multiplying note values, I can set these to
null and get back to where I began.
Since I'm working off of a score with modernised rhythms, I'm content
with doing my compilation checks without multiplying. After everything
is typed in, I can switch on the multiplication and just ignore the
warnings, since I already know I got everything else right!

Subject: Removing manual beams when multiplying note values
Hello,
I am replicating a handwritten score of Renaissance polyphony. I
entered the notes with \autoBeamOff and manually entered the beams
where they were needed using square brackets. Later, I decided I
wanted to double the values of the notes, as is common with this type
of music. I figured out how to do it by using a snippet in The
LilyPond Report #19 and removing the beam stencils. But now I get all
sorts of errors. How do I suppress these?
Thanks,

Since you're removing the beam stencil and therefore stopping displaying any
form of beam, wouldn't the simplest solution be to remove the manual beams
([]) with a text editor search and replace?

i can't reproduce this but for the first question you could add a hidden

Re: Tie collision with note
Thanks, Stan, for all your help on this. I checked out LilyPondTool
and JEdit and was able to see how to get control points from the slur
tweak tool. But as I was trying to figure out how to use the slur
tweak tool, I came across another tweak that works even better. I
adapted \shapeSlur from the Lilypond Snippet Repository
(http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=63) and turned it into \shapeTie.
(Thanks, LSR!) With this I can specify offsets for each control point
of the tie. This way, the tweak scales with the layout of the music.
Here's the example with the addition of this tweak:
%-
\version 2.13.54
shapeTie =
#(define-music-function (parser location offsets) (list?)
#{
\once \override Tie #'control-points = #(alter-curve $offsets)
#})
#(define ((alter-curve offsets) grob)
;; get default control-points
(let ((coords (ly:tie::calc-control-points grob))
(n 0))
;; add offsets to default coordinates
(define loop (lambda (n)
(set-car! (list-ref coords n)
(+ (list-ref offsets (* 2 n))
(car (list-ref coords n
(set-cdr! (list-ref coords n)
(+ (list-ref offsets (1+ (* 2 n)))
(cdr (list-ref coords n
(if ( n 3)
(loop (1+ n)
;; return altered coordinates
(loop n)
