Laissez vibrer question
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? --Steven Example.png Description: PNG image ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

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.

Combining multiple \tags?
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! --Steven ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Divided parts
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 a,4 b, c d e f g2 \break g4 ^\markup { "divis." } f e d c b, a,2 \break a,4 ^\markup { "tutti" } b, c d e f g2 } partII = \new Voice { \clef bass R1*2/4*4 a,4 b, c d e f g2 R1*2/4*4 } \score { \new StaffGroup { << \partI \partII >> } \layout { indent = 0\cm \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext \override RemoveEmptyVerticalGroup #'remove-first = ##t } } } ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Pitched trill?
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. --Steven PitchedTrill.PNG Description: PNG image ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Bracketed non-div notes?
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!

Re: Producing postscript for custom paper size (9x12" manuscript paper)?
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). --Steven -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Producing+postscript+for+custom+paper+size+%289x12%22+manuscript+paper%29--t1388381.html#a4632952 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User forum at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

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.

Can you add blank pages in Lilypond?
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? --Steven ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Can you add blank pages in Lilypond?
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 } --Steven - Original Message - From: "Graham Percival" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Panteck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 12:49 PM Subject: Re: Can you add blank pages in Lilypond?
