Re: Tweaking Jedit LilyPondTool?

2010-12-20 Thread Paul Thompson
It would be easy enough to define a variable which would use your preferred 
naming scheme in place of the official one.

So, usually c# is notated as cis.

Define a variable:
cb={cis}

Then you can use cb in place of cis:

a \cb b \cb

You merely need to use the \ to denote a variable.

As someone else suggested, you put this in a file, and then include it at the 
beginning, and that brings your customization to each project.

Subject: Tweaking Jedit LilyPondTool?

Hi All,
I'm just now checking out LilyPondTool and have a couple of newbie
questions regarding midi input.

It looks like the Score Setup Wizard is the place to set up which
language you would like the pitches to be notated as (cis vs. cs,
etc). Ok fine but I would like to use my own pitch names since I'm
marking up Turkish notation on a regular basis (as c# would be notated
as "cb").

So, is there any place handy I can get in to add my own pitch naming
system? And midi input will use that naming system? I've snooped
around but can't find any plugin config files. Hmmm.

Frescobaldi does a great thing with Rumor Settings/Guile scripts to
load...there I've been able to create my own names.

As always thanks in advance for any advice.

Adam

Re: ps to pdf conversion fails

2010-12-18 Thread Paul Thompson
If you use Ghostview, you can have a .pdf open continually, update it, and 
thereby increase the speed of evaluation of fixes.  Ghostview is a much better 
.pdf viewer during development.

Re: musescore

2010-12-10 Thread Paul Thompson
I prepared a simple lilypond example which shows some simple things.  I can 
send 
that to you or others if you were interested.  It uses lilypond within LaTeX to 
show the simple stuff using a famous tune, plus it gets a little more elaborate.

I only include attachments if people request them, so if you are interested, 
let 
me know.

I have around 2800 FB friends, nearly all of them musicians, and I plan to do 
some Lilypond advocacy - hence my friend request. I'll need some 'backup' 
debaters/advisors etc. and  so if anybody would like to send me a friend 
request, well the more the merrier. I think we can get quite a few converts if 
we plan it right. Some kind of facebook lilypond app would help - I'm thinking 
of a stripped down version of omet.ca (For those interested, it's easy to just 
put a pre--existing webpage/webapp into a facebook iframe - it's that simple). 
Just a thought.

Re: Inserting comments into the log file

2010-11-17 Thread Paul Thompson
Helpful, but not in the way that I need.  Essentially, I am trying to pinpoint 
the location of bad code. So, when I put the 

#(display "Test")
construction, I get that to my window, but not to the same one as the errors 
and 
warnings.

 
I had been issuing \break commands in the wrong place, and was trying to remove 
the incorrect \break commands.

As I noted, using 
\barNumberCheck #2 
on any other bar other than 2 will print a feedback message which can be used 
to 
track location.

Hi Paul

Not sure about the log file, but you can print to the standard output like this:

#(display "...some text...")

(space after "display" is mandatory)

Inserting comments into the log file

2010-11-17 Thread Paul Thompson
  I have not found a command to insert a comment placed in the .ly file into the .log file.  This is a useful tool for
 debugging.  I am trying to find which of my \break commands is not acceptable, and cannot get lilypond to print line number about that.  So, using a comment in the log is usually the way to go. Paul Thompson___

Incompletely filled measures

2010-11-16 Thread Paul Thompson
  I am setting a document up in 4/4, and all is well (thanks, Xavier, for your help).In 2 cases, measures get set up
 as if they are 3/4, and only 3 beats are set into the measure.  How can I determine what is causing this issue?  Measures before and after the 2 measures incorrectly counted are fine, just 2 in the middle of a string of measures. Paul Thompson___
