Re: Sharp and flat trills

2006-08-22 Thread Panteck

Here's what I did to get trb:

% Create new trill line string
trillFlat = \markup { \musicglyph #"scripts.trill" \super \flat }

v1 = new \Voice
{
   \once \override TrillSpanner #'padding = #1.5
   \once \override TrillSpanner #'edge-text = #(cons trillFlat "" )
   a'1 ( \startTrillSpan |
   a'2 ) \stopTrillSpan  a'2 |
}

Can Lilypond typeset the marks for flat (e.g. "trb") and sharp
("tr#~~") trills?

I've searched the 2.8.0 manual for this, but found nothing, so perhaps
someone can tell me if the feature is now available in developmental
versions or if there's interest in sponsoring the feature.

Laissez vibrer question

2006-08-28 Thread Panteck

Windows XP, Lilypond 2.8.6

I'm trying to force the direction of a laissez vibrer tie like so:

\version "2.8.6"

\score
{
\new Voice
{
 \clef bass
 \time 4/4

 \override LaissezVibrerTie #'direction = #UP
 c4 \laissezVibrer
 d4 \laissezVibrer
 e4 \laissezVibrer
 f4 \laissezVibrer
 g4 \laissezVibrer
 a4 \laissezVibrer
 b4 \laissezVibrer
 c'4 \laissezVibrer
}
}

I've experimented with variations of #UP, #DOWN, #LEFT, and #RIGHT (as well 
as 1 and -1), but no matter what I do, the tie always stays down.  This is 
also the behavior when I remove the override entirely (which seems odd to 
me).  Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi Everyone,
I'm new to Lilypond and to the list, and I'm hoping that someone can 
answer what should be an easy question.

I have a measure with a dotted quarter, then three eighth notes (in 3/4 
time). I don't want the first of the three eighth notes to beam to the 
other two, but can't get it to unbeam. Here is the line:

c4. c8 b8 a8

Combining multiple \tags?

2007-01-23 Thread Panteck
I've got three sets of tags ( letter/a4/bigprint, part/score, and 
original/edit ).  What I want to do is something like \keepWithTag #'letter 
#'part #'edit, but \keepWithTag doesn't take multiple values, and 
\keepWithTag #'value1{ \keepWithTag #'value2 } doesn't work, because the 
inner \keep strips out all the other tags.


Has anyone else ever attempted to do something like this?  Is there a better 
way of doing what I'm after?


Thanks!

Divided parts

2005-09-27 Thread Panteck
I'm writing a piece that has divided parts. My problem is that Lilypond is 
putting brackets around every line, not just the lines where the divisi 
occurs. I though that the SystemStartBracket.collapse-height property would 
take care of this for me automatically, but even when I try overriding the 
value, I still get the brackets. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I 
can get rid of the brackets on the single lines, but keep the brackets on 
the divisi line? I'm using Lilypond 2.7.10 on Windows native.


Thanks!

--Steven

partI = \new Voice {
   \clef bass

Pitched trill?

2006-04-24 Thread Panteck
Is there a way to do this in Lilypond (2.8)?  I've looked at the 
\pitchedTrill command, but that specifies a note to trill to, and I'd rather 
just specify sharp, flat, or natural in the trill line.

Bracketed non-div notes?

2006-04-24 Thread Panteck
I'm writing some music that has a large div. section, with occasional chords 
that should be played non-div.  I've seen this notated as brackets around 
the notes that should be played together before.  I searched the docs, but 
either I don't know the correct musical term for this, or I'm really bad at 
searching!  Has anyone every done this in Lily?

Re: Producing postscript for custom paper size (9x12" manuscript paper)?

2006-05-30 Thread Panteck

Sorry to resurrect this thread again, but I've been busy with work and
haven't had time to read the list lately :)

I haven't fully tested this, but on Windows XP with Lilypond 2.9, just
changing paper.scm to include the following line works for me:

("archA" . (cons (* 9.0 in) (* 12.0 in)))

archA (9x12) and archB (12x18) are the ISO names for these paper sizes. 
Adobe respects these values, and Lilypond seems to have no difficulty with
them either (however, I don't usually mess with margins, so it's possible
that it only works with the default margin values).

Subject: Very basic problem with manual beaming

Hi Folks, 
 
I'm probably missing something blindingly obvious, but I have the following 
problem. Using RoseGarden, I have exported a simple piece of music, and
would 
now like to tidy up just one or two bars. These bars are 7/8 bars, and I
need 
an alternative beaming structure. 
 
Output from RoseGarden: 
 
\time 7/8 
c'' 16 d'' d'' a' d'' d'' c'' d'' d'' d'' e'' d'' e'' fis'' 
 
What I (think) I need, following the manual: 
 
\time 7/8 
[c'' 16 d'' d''] [a' d'' d''] [c'' d'' d'' d''] [e'' d'' e'' fis''] 
 
However, when I run this (and the rest of the score) through lilypond, it 
exits with the following error: 
 
ClassicReelSet.ly:77:16: error: syntax error, unexpected '[' 
 
[c'' 16 d'' d''] [a' d'' d''] [c'' d'' d'' d''] [e'' d'' e'' fis''] 
ClassicReelSet.ly:13:4: error: errors found, ignoring music expression 
 
Why is this "unexpected"? Isn't this how to do manual beaming? 
 
Note that this section is properly enclosed in a 
 
\context Voice = "voice 0" { 
.. 
} % Voice 
 
tag, so I don't think that that is the problem. 
 
Many thanks for any help, 
 
 
Ed Bradburn

Can you add blank pages in Lilypond?

2006-07-21 Thread Panteck

I'm using Lilypond 2.8.4 on Windows XP.

I'm trying to optimize page turns in a double-sided printing scenario, and 
need to add blank pages in the PDF at appropriate locations.  Is it possible 
to add a completely blank page (or a page that says "This page intentionally 
left blank") in Lilypond?  I've tried multiple \pageBreaks in a row, and 
having an empty \score { } \header { breakbefore = ##t } block, but neither 
one works.  I searched the web and found lots of examples of how to create a 
bunch of empty staffs, but not how to create just a blank page.  Has anyone 
else figured out a solution to this problem?

Re: Can you add blank pages in Lilypond?

2006-07-24 Thread Panteck
Thanks for your help, Graham!  That worked perfectly for breaks that occur 
between movements.  For breaks that occur during movements, I came up with a 
snippet that almost does what I want.  The only problem is that I'm not good 
enough with Scheme to get the set bar number line working.  Any Scheme 
experts out there know how to programatically subtract 1 from the current 
bar number?


blankPage =
{
\pageBreak

\once \override Staff.Clef #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Staff.KeySignature #'transparent = ##t
\once \override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
\override Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count = 0
\stopStaff s1*1/64 \startStaff
% \set Score.currentBarNumber = #(- (ly:context-property context 
'currentBarNumber) 1)


\once \override TextScript #'extra-offset = #'( -10.0 . -60.0 )
s1*63/64 _\markup { "(this page has been left blank to facilitate page 
turning)" }

\bar " "

\revert Staff.StaffSymbol #'line-count
\stopStaff \startStaff

\pageBreak
}

I'm using lilypond-book, so I \lilypondfile{page-break.ly} this file. To 
use this inside lilypond, remember that you can just have a \markup on its 
own (ie no \score).  If you add breakbefore headers to this file and the 
following movement, you should be able to get it to work.


%%% page-break.ly:
\version "2.9.6"
\markup{ \fill-line{ \column {
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \hspace #1
  \line { (this page has been left blank to facilitate page turning) }
}}}
