\articulate problem
The following snippet shows several problems:
\version 2.19.15
\include articulate.ly
S = \relative b' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = S
\clef treble
c4 c16\prall e r8 r r r r
c4 c c c
}
A = \relative c'' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = A
\clef treble
c4 c c c
c4 c c c
}
\score {
\unfoldRepeats \articulate
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \S }
\new Staff { \A }
\layout { }
\midi { }
}
The chief problem is that it generates a defective midi file in that there is a
eighth note shift in the 2nd measure between the two systems.
This shift can also be seen in the engraved file.
Another problem is the representation of the \prall in the engraved file, which
includes a quarter note head without a stem and a whole note.
The final problem is the huge number of warnings and programming error messages
in the log file. These include:
* two instances of:
Articulate_problem.ly:7:20: warning: adding note head to
incompatible stem (type = 1/1)
c4 c16\prall
e r8 r r r r
* fourteen instances of: programming error: insane spring distance
requested, ignoring it
* one instance of:programming error: insane spring min_distance
requested, ignoring it
* one instance of:programming error: insane spring constant
* seventeen instances of: continuing, cross fingers
* one instance of:programming error: going back in MIDI time

Why does \skip extend an extender
In the following snippet:
music = \relative b' {
c4 d e f
f g a b
c,1
}
Lyrics = \lyricmode {
c d e __ _
_ \skip 1 \skip 1 \skip 1
C
}
\score {
\new Staff \music
\addlyrics \Lyrics
\layout { }
}
I want the three skips to skip past the notes g a b. That is, I want the
singing of “e” to terminate with the 2nd “f”. But for some reason the extender
is extended through the notes “g a b”. How can I fix this?

Problem with ChordNames
I am using LilyPond 2.19.15 on a mac running OSX 10.10 (Yosemite).
The following snippet (from section 2.7.2 Displaying Chords of the Notation
Manual):
\version 2.19.15
\new ChordNames {

This seems to be identical to a problem reported in 2011 (Can't embed font for

Re: Anacrusis in multiple tunes on page
Recently you posted:
It seems clear to me that I am mis-formatting something.
What I am trying to do is is to put multiple tunes on a single page
as for a set of tunes for a dance. The problem that I'm having is
that many of these tunes start both the A part and the B part
with an anacrusis and end the part with a shorter measure to
make the number of beats work out.
Partial works fine for the initial anacrusis, but if the piece has multiple
parts, each with an anacrusis, the processor complains about the
subsequent \partial directives. It also doesn't much like a \partial
at the end of the section.
I've tried just leaving them out, but the programmer in me does not
like the warning messages that result.
I've noticed that I can account for the missing beats with s and the
missing time, but this results in unnecessary whitespace and throws
the overall note spacing out.
Is there an alternative to s that would allow Lilypond to account for
the missing beats without adding space that I do not want?
More or less minimal example follows -- I've left in the directive blocks
on the off chance that there's something there or missing from there
that would influence the problem.
Thanks,
-Don
and Keith Ohara responded:
From what you wrote I see no problem,
I think what he means is that your more or less minimal example doesn't throw
any warning or error messages in LilyPond 2.18.0. Here is a minimal example:
\version 2.18.0
\paper { ragged-right = ##t }
music = \relative b' {
\partial 4 c4
c1
\break
\partial 4 d4
d1
}
\score {
\music
\layout {}
}
which does throw the warning:
Interpreting music...
SpuriousPartialWarning.ly:11:3: warning: trying to use \partial after the start
of a piece
\partial 4 d4
I think the difference is that your anacruces(?) are in different scores, while
mine are in the same score.
The good news is that the above snippet doesn't throw any warning messages at
2.19.15. So you could upgrade to that or wait for 2.20 to be released.

Question about a midi file

the midi notes appear on channel 10 as they should, but they are overlaid by
what appears to be another percussion instrument playing the following
simultaneously:
\repeat unfold 3 { toml4\f toml\p toml toml }
i.e., it sounds like a 4-beat metronome. Here I am using toml only because I
don't know what percussion instrument is actually involved.
What might be the explanation for this? and how to stop it?

I don’t get this behaviour (in 2.19.13).
How do you playback the MIDI file? Are the metronome-notes actually in the
MIDI file, or does your MIDI player software maybe have a metronome activated?
Thanks for the information. I was using a midi player called Sweet Midi
Player. I recompiled my problem file with lilypond v2.18.2 and found that I
still had the problem. Then I played both midi's with QuickTime 7; there was
no problem.
Futher investigation showed that Sweet Midi Player did have an option to output
metronome clicks on channel 10, and that it was enabled. I disabled it and the
problem disappeared.
Again, thanks.___

parallel music with selective repeats
I have a piece of music that needs to have all staves but one repeat, and that
non-repeating staff is twice as long as the repeating. I tried the following
but got no joy:
\version 2.19.15
musicA = \relative b' { c d e f }
musicB = \relative f' { f e d c }
\score {
\new Staff { \musicA \musicB}
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicA }
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicA }
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
The repeat bar is in all three staves, with musicB following on the first staff.
If I add the unfoldRepeats command to the score, all three stave in the pdf
are as I wish, and the midi file agrees.
I have tried a couple of things to suppress the repeat bar line on the first
staff:
* adding \bar | between musicA and musicB
* adding \set Score.repeatCommands = #'(#f) both before and after \musicA in
the 1st staff
* adding \with { \remove Volta Engraver } to the first staff
but the repeat bar is printed in the 1st staff every time.
Is there a way to suppress that repeat sign? How?

But it seems like an astonishingly bad idea.
Why? It seems like an outstandingly good idea to me.
The original piece had the equivalent of :
musicA = \relative b' { c d e f }
musicB = \relative c'' { f e d c }
\score {
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicA }
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicB }
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicA }
\new Staff { \repeat volta 2 \musicA }
\layout {}
\midi {}
}
with a note that the first staff was to be played the first time, and a note
that the second staff was to be played the second time. I didn't see how that
would generate a desired midi file. Is there a way?
Anyway, with your method I get an accurate printed score and an accurate midi
file. Thanks.

Does justify-string what you want?
Unfortunately not. It's the same as with justify-field. The result is
basically right, but I can only supply a string to it and not a markup (i.e.
no further formatting).
Best I can think of right now is the coding below.
You'll need to insert \n (or another separator-sign) manually at the
appropiate places.
I didn't manage to make the empty lines being automagically recognized
instead.
If you mean as a blank line between paragraphs, I like the looks of the
following:
\version 2.18.2
\header {
desc = \markup \column { \justify-string
#When working on a score it is often necessary to mark the state of
development on a given intermediate state (printout or shared PDF).
Instead of simply adding a date it can be very useful to add information
about the Git revision if the document is in a version control repository.
\justify-string
#This module provides markup commands that retrieve information about the
current Git repository. It is not only possible to get information about
the current commit but also whether the repository is in a clean state
(i.e. whether the score represents the state of a commit or contains
modifications in the working tree).
\justify-string
#A generic command can be used to issue arbitrary Git commands.
For a list of defined commands see the usage example.

Problem ordering staves
I'm trying to do a score where one group of instruments splits and plays
different music for a while. I guess that this might be an instance of
ostia, but I am required to place the new music on two staves in their own
staff group. What I came up with is the following:
\version 2.18.2
A = \relative b' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #A
\repeat unfold 4 { c d e f }
\break
\new ChoirStaff {
\set ChoirStaff.systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartBrace
\set ChoirStaff.shortInstrumentName = #A
\new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { c d e f } }
\new Staff { \repeat unfold 4 { f e d c } }
}
}
T = \relative b' {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #T
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #T
\repeat unfold 8 { b b b b }
}
\score {
\new ChoirStaff
\new Staff { \A }
\new Staff { \T }
\layout {\context { \Staff \RemoveEmptyStaves} }
}
This works almost perfectly. The only problem is that the order of the staves
after the break is reversed from what I want, i.e., in the first system the A
staff is above the T staff, but in the second system, the T staff is above the
group of A staves. I am attaching a png of the above example.
I can see that somehow the new ChoirStaff is independent of the A staff, which
is why I am using the command \RemoveEmptyStafes; without it an empty staff
occupies the position above the T staff.
How can I get the ChoirStaff staves to appear above the T staff in the second
system?

What is it with \bar ||?
I recently had a problem with a \bar || at the end of a line suppressing the
initial repeat sign in the following repeat volta section. The answer was to
use some magical \bar instead which cured the problem. It was not clear to me
then why the \bar || seemed to cause the following section to be treated as a
new piece.
I am now having a similar problem with the following code:
\version 2.18.2
A = \relative b' {
f4 g g a% 16
\bar ||
(f4) f f f % 17
}
which throws an error: syntax error, unexpected EVENT_IDENTIFIER
for the attempted slur across the double bar line.
Is there a workaround for this? If so, should I be able to figure it out?
I still think the documentation about repeat signs only being suppressed at the
beginning of a piece is wrong and should be fixed. It might also be nice to
have a better explanation why the \bar || has the effects it does.

\score { \new Staff { \music }}. My example compiled, but didn't generate the
initial repeat bar line. Putting it in makes it work. Thanks for the info.
Do you know why omitting the \score info causes the initial repeat to also be
omitted?
\version 2.18.2
music = \relative b' {
a1 a a a
\bar .|:-||
\break
\repeat volta 2 { a4 b c d }
}
\score {
\new Staff { \music }
}
compiles for me and yields in a || at the end of the first and a .|: at
the beginning of the next line.

Repeat volta not at beginning of piece doesn't get initial repeat bar line
Section 1.4 of the Notation Manual says about volta repeats:
volta The repeated music is not written out but enclosed between
repeat bar lines. If the repeat is at the beginning
of a piece, a repeat bar line is only printed at the end of the
repeat.
But the following snippet does not generate the initial repeat bar line,
apparently because of the || bar line. But the || bar line does not
indicate the end of a piece.
I have tried several things to get the inital repeat bar line to appear without
success. I suspect it's not very difficult. Can anyone please tell me how to
do it? And if I'm correct about the problem being caused by the || bar line,
the documentation should probably be changed.

You're right that the \bar || is overriding the repeat bar. I assume
you're wanting a double bar before the break. Use \bar .|:-||
instead. You can lookup valid bar strings in bar-line.scm.
Sorry, that doesn't work for me, result is the same. I assume you're saying to
replace the \bar || with \bar .|:-||.
I still don't understand why the || bar is overriding the repeat bar, as ||
doesn't signify end-of-piece so the \repeat volta is not at the beginning of a
piece so the initial repeat bar line should be printed.

Variable length bars
I'm trying to set a John Dowland piece (Come Ye Heavy States of Night) which has a single initial time signature of 4/2 2/2 followed by measures that are either 4 half-note beats or 2 half-note beats long, in quasi-random fashion. It's clear that if I can get that time signature printed, I can set the piece by appropriate use of \set Timing.measureLength. Can anyone point me to a way to do that?

Dotted half note showing as half note followed by a colon
In setting a piece where two instruments are sharing a staff, I encountered a
dotted half note which was shown as a half note followed by a colon rather than
by a dot. The following illustrates the problem:
\version 2.18.0
Aa = \relative b' {
\oneVoice r2 r4 \voiceOne b
\oneVoice b2. r4
}
Ab = \relative b' {
\oneVoice r2 r4 \voiceTwo a
\oneVoice b2. r4
}
\score {
\new Staff {
\new Voice { \voiceOne \Aa }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \Ab }
}
\layout { }
}
A similar problem is noted with the following snippet:
\new Voice
{ r2 r4 b' b'2. r4 }
{ r2 r4 a' b'2. r4 }
Am I doing something wrong here? I get several warning messages, but except
for the offending dotted half note, the pdf file looks good.

Can multiple notes be parenthesized as a group?
Consider:

\relative b' {
c2 \parenthesize d
c2 \parenthesize {d4 e}
}
The pdf output for the first measure is correct, a half-note c followed by a
parenthesized half-note d. However, the second bar shows no evidence of any
parenthesizing at all, nor any error indication in the log. Is there a way to
do this?
I realize I could parenthesize the two notes separately, but that is not what
is in the score I am trying to engrave.

Double bar line suppresses following repeat bar line
The following snippet:
\version 2.18.0
music = \relative b' {
\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 3 { c4 c c c } }
\alternative {
{ c1 }
{ g1 }
}
% \bar ||
\break
\repeat volta 2 { \repeat unfold 5 { a4 a a a } }
}
\score {
\new Staff \music

}
places a simple single bar line at the end of the 2nd alternative. My client
wishes it to be a double bar line instead. I can do that by uncommenting the
\bar || line, but that has the unfortunate side effect of eliminating the
initial repeat bar line of the following section.
Is there a way to place a double bar line at the end of the 1st line without
interfering with the repeat bar line that follows?

Interplay between keepWithTag and relative music
So I guess I don't understand the subject interplay. Consider the following
minimal example:
\version 2.18.0
A = \relative g' {
c c c c
\tag #'up { c' c c c }
\tag #'down { c, c c c }
c c c c
}
\score {
\keepWithTag #'up \A
}
Based on the description on p477 of the 2.18.0 Notation manual (Untagged music
and music tagged with name is included; music tagged with any other tag name is
excluded.), I would expect the pdf output of the above snippet to be the same
as that for:
\relative g' {
c c c c
c' c c c
c c c c
}
But that's not what I get. Instead it appears that the music tagged with
down is actually included to the extent that the music in the 3rd measure is
an octave lower than expected. Note, too, that an entirely different result is
obtained if the two \tag lines are interchanged.
I expect that all I need is a pointer to the appropriate documentation that
explains this.

Default bar numbers
Even though the default is for bar numbers to be printed at the beginning of
every line of a piece except the first one, there are circumstances where a bar
number is not printed at the beginning of a non-initial line. For example,
the following snippet generates two lines, but the second line does not get a
bar number:
\version 2.16.2
\relative b' {
\repeat unfold 5 { a b c d }
a b c
\break
\repeat volta 2 {
d
\repeat unfold 5 { a b c d }
a b c
}
}
Is there a way to force a bar number at the beginning of line 2? Is this a bug
or a feature or a documentation problem? Or have I just missed something?

I think this is an old and very strange problem, which is illustrated by the
following code

music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
\score {
\new Staff {\music}
\layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 80)}
}
\score {

\layout {#(layout-set-staff-size 5)}

It's difficult to see why anyone thinks that this (mis)function should even be
in LilyPond. The strangeness is only exacerbated by the fact that it's
documented at the end of section 4.2.2 (Setting the Staff Size) in the 2.16

Known issues and warnings
layout-set-staff-size does not change the distance between the staff lines.
Maybe the documentation should address how the staff size can be changed
without changing the distance between the staff lines.

well - I think it's described somewhere inta manual. here's a little
function to facilitate the change of those 3 values:
What does it refer to here?
staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
\set fontSize = #new-size
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
#})
music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
\new Staff \with {\staffSize #-16 } \music
\score {
\new Staff \with {\staffSize #16 } \music
}
I am afraid I don't understand the function of the staffSize function. The
following snippet produces four identical, to my eyes, outputs:
B e g i n S n i p p e t
\version 2.16.2
music = \relative c' { c d e f g a b c }
\new Staff \music
\score {
\new Staff \music
}
staffSize = #(define-music-function (parser location new-size) (number?)
#{
\set fontSize = #new-size
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep new-size)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep new-size)
#})
\new Staff \with {\staffSize #-16 } \music
\score {
\new Staff \with {\staffSize #16 } \music
}
E n d S n i p p e t
What would a new-size value of -16 mean?
Does anyone not agree with me that layout-set-staff-size is nonsensical and
nonworking? And that the documentation should document exactly what it does?
and how the staff size can be changed without changing the distance between
staff lines? (I feel like I'm in a Kafka novel here.)

HOwdy!
I have a problem putting a grace note in a repeat, when there are
two staves
in a system. See this link for a simplified example
http://indra2.web.net/~linuxsui/gooeytar.com/public/lilypond/
http://indra2.web.net/~linuxsui/gooeytar.com/public/lilypond/lily_grace_error.pdf
This is the error when compiling the source file
GNU LilyPond 2.16.2
Processing `lily_grace_error.ly'
Parsing...
Interpreting music...
warning: already have a volta spanner, ending that one prematurely
[8][8]
Preprocessing graphical objects...

Success: compilation successfully completed
Works if there is just one stave. Is there a fix for this?
This is the lilypond code that the above was created from
\version 2.16.2
global = {
\time 3/4
\clef G_8
\key g \minor
}
guitarone = \relative c {
\repeat volta 2 { cis2. | }
\alternative {
{ cis4 r r }
{ cis4 r r }
}
\repeat volta 2 { fis2. | }
\alternative {
{ \grace fis16 g2. |}
{ g2. |}
}
}
guitarthree = \relative c' {
\repeat volta 2 { a2. | }
\alternative {
{ d2. | }
{ d2. | }
}
\repeat volta 2 { d2. | }
\alternative {
{ g2. |}% = first
alternative to the second volta
{ g2. \bar |. |}
}
}
\score {
\new StaffGroup {
\new Staff \global \guitarone
\new Staff \global \guitarthree
}
\layout { }
}
Ideas?
This problem and its solution are discussed in the Known issues and warnings
at the end of Section 1.2.6 Special rhythmic concerns, Grace notes. You
should write the first alternative to the second volta of guitarthree so:
{ \grace s16 g2. |}

Hi list,
I have a question about the placements of breathe symbols.
When measure bars are placed automatically, and when a \breathe is placed
at the end of a measure, it seems that it is placed *after* the bar,
before the first note of the next measure. I would like them to be placed
after the last note of the measure to which they belong. I know that it
is possible to tweak their position with
\context { \Staff \override BreathingSign #'extra-offset = #'(-1.0 . 0.0) }
for example, but this does not really solve the problem, because the
breathe symbols that are correctly positioned by default (in the middle of
a measure) would also be affected by this setting.
I also tried to force the breathe symbol to be placed before the bar by
putting an explicit \bar | or \bar indication in the source file, but
LilyPond then puts it in an otherwise empty measure.
In short: is there a way to force LilyPond to put breathe symbols always
after the previous note, i.e. as close as possible to that note?
The following snippet results in the breath mark just after the f in the first
measure:
\version 2.16.2
\relative c' { c d e f\breathe g a b c }

Below are two examples, identical except for the fact that the second one has
a RehearsalMark where the first one doesn't.
\version 2.16.1
{ \time 9/4 c'1. c'2. | \time 6/4 c'1. | }
{ \time 9/4 \mark c'1. c'2. | \time 6/4 c'1. | }
\mark requires an argument. In this case it is using c'1. as the argument.
Write \mark \default to get what you want.
When I compile them, the first example appears as expected, but the second
one does not (see attachment). For the life of me, I can't figure out what
the problem is... Can someone help me?

Hi, first post on this forum.
I wish to have something similar to the image attached. At the moment my
code is rather simple:
/upper = {
\override Score.KeyCancellation #'stencil = ##f
\set Score.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #'#(#f #f #t)
\override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = ##f
\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
\time 2/4
\relative c''{
\key a \major
e b
a, cis,
\break
\key bes \major
f c a'
ees g bes
\break
/ . etc for the upper part. Similar for the lower /
}
\score{
\new PianoStaff
\new Staff = upper \upper
\new Staff = lower \lower
/
I've experimented with using columns in markup but this just didn't seem to
do the trick. A slightly unsatisfying way to solve this would be to make the
measures completely invisible so only the notes (or graphics: i.e the lines)
would be visible.
Hope this makes sense. Apologies if this is something people have answered
thousands of times!
It's difficult to tell from your code what you are after. You do know that /
is not the beginning of a comment in LilyPond, don't you. In any case, the
following seems to be close to the spirit of your attached image:
\version 2.16.2
\paper {
ragged-bottom = ##t
ragged-last-bottom = ##t
ragged-right = ##t
}
upper = \relative c''{
\override Score.KeyCancellation #'stencil = ##f
\set Score.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #'#(#f #f #t)
\override Score.BarNumber #'stencil = ##f
\override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f
e b
a, cis,
\break
\key bes \major
f c a'
ees g bes
\break
% . etc for the upper part. Similar for the lower /
}
global = { \time 2/4 \key a \major }
\score {
\new PianoStaff
\new Staff { \global \upper }
\new Staff { \global \upper }
\layout { indent = 0 }
}
HTH

Dear community,
how can I update all my ly files (including subfolders) with one

Depending on operating system, something like
find -name '*.ly' -exec convert-ly -ed {} \;
might do the trick. Needless to say, create a backup first.
Plus, if convert-ly is not able to convert a particular feature
automatically, it only prints out a warning that you need to fix
something manually, but you'll have no indication in which file and
where exactly you have to do some manual work….
One way to cope with that, if the OS is sufficiently unix-like, is:
for f in `find . -name \*.ly -print`
do
echo Converting $f
convert-ly -ed $f
done
Then any files which had problems could be identified and addressed
individually.
