GitHub now has unlimited private repositories
Just an FYI for those who have been struggling with running a git server for version control: GitHub now allows unlimited private repositories on the free tier. The main catch is that only 3 contributors are allowed per repository, but that still makes it possible to collaborate on (large) projects: https://blog.github.com/2019-01-07-new-year-new-github/ Hope this helps someone to better manage their scores.

Adding \caps (or \smallCaps) to the title in the score gives the desired

Small caps not working in bookTitleMarkup?
Hi,
I'm trying to create titles in small caps by modifying the
bookTitleMarkup in my stylesheet. For some reason, all font modifiers
(\bold, \italic etc.) seem to work, except for \caps or \smallCaps.
I have the line
\bold \fontsize #6 { \fromproperty #'header:title }
in my stylesheet, which works great, but adding \caps is not working.
However, if I put that modifier in my header block (title = \markup {
\caps "My Title") I get perfect small caps in my output, while still
seeing the effects of the \bold and \fontsize modifiers from my stylesheet.
Am I doing something wrong, have I missed something in the docs or did I
encounter a bug?
Thanks for any assistance!

Op 5-4-2017 om 11:32 schreef Malte Meyn:
is it possible to specify an output directory from within the LilyPond

How about \bookOutputName? This works with absolute paths like
\bookOutputName "/home/malte/foo" (output to /home/malte/foo.pdf)
and with relative paths too. You don’t need an explicit \book {} block.
I would love to use this solution, but it means that you also have to
define the actual name of the *file* in addition to the directory. Is
there a way to derive the filename from the title and use that? I found
that using
\bookOutputName \concat { "/home/foo/" \fromproperty #'header:title }
does not work...

Slur and tuplet bracket colliding
Hi,
I'm having a situation where slurs and tuplet brackets are colliding.
The strange thing is that the slur is placed closer to the notes when no
tuplet is present, but with the tuplet the slur is placed higher from
the notes, ending up in a collision location.
Is there a way to have the slur drawn close to the notes, even when the
tuplet is present? Is this slur placement "intended behaviour" or a bug?
Minimal sample (left slur is problematic, right slur is ok):
melody = \relative c'' {
\tuplet 3/2 { c,2( b'4) } r2
c,4( b') r2
}
Thanks in advance!

"reject" and "bounce" are the same thing! I'm sorry but "bounce" and "reject" are not the same thing. One implies sending a message back to the putative sender; one merely implies telling the incoming SMTP relay that the message has not been (or in some cases, will not be) accepted and makes dealing with the message the problem of the incoming relay. Except, to the best of my knowledge, "bounce" means that *I* send a DSN back to the original sender, and "reject" means that the relay is honour-bound to send a DSN back to the original sender. The only practical difference is who sends the DSN. And as I said, in my case (because "download and drop" is not a practical option) there is no way I can suppress the sending of the DSN. This is getting *very* off topic, but: As David R. Linn said, bounce and reject are *not* the same. Rejecting means that the receiving SMTP-server refuses to accept the message at all (return a 550 response), meaning the sending SMTP-server can't deliver the message at all. Bouncing means that the receiving server *does* accept the message, but then sends a message back to the *email address* in the message envelope, which may have nothing to do with the actual sender. That is simply not a proper way to respond to spam.

Ly-rics for third__ stan-za Some more ly-rics for the last part I can create different Voice contexts for the first, second and third part and assign the appropriate lyrics, but how do I concatenate those voices on the same staff, one after another?

Strange font behaviour with Cygwin
Hi, First of all, thanks for a wonderful piece of software. I've been using LilyPond for about a year now and although I still cannot do some things as easy as I could with Finale (which I've been using for 10+ years), I think LilyPond is great and getting better with each new version! However, I found some strange behaviour regarding fonts: when I compile a .ly file with the Cygwin version, some of the fonts (notably the bar numbers en lyrics) are missing and substituted with Courier. This happens with two separate Cygwin/LilyPond installations on different machines, both of which are running Windows 2000. The same file works perfectly on my Fedora Core 2 machine. However, if I specifically \override the fonts and specify, for example, to use "cmr08" for the bar numbers (which is, apparently, the same font that cannot be found normally), the font *can* be found and is present in the resulting .ps and .pdf output. Also note that all title fonts are present without having to \override them... This has been happening at least since version 2.2.0, I'm currently running 2.2.5 on both Cygwin and Fedora. I'm stumped, actually, and I'm wondering if anybody here can shed some light on this strange problem?
