Re: two-way synchronization (live or otherwise) between Lilypond and a DAW
That workflow would depend on the DAW, not lilypond. For the automatic
"synchronization" you're suggesting in step 7, the DAW would have to actively
monitor a midi file for changes. Lilypond has nothing to do with that.
As a workaround, if the DAW allows re-importing the midi file without losing
automation you've added since last import, it's simple enough to just drag the
new Lilypond-generated midi file into the DAW's timeline. As long as you're not
editing the actual pitches (or velocities) inside your DAW, I'm pretty sure
e.g. Pro Tools would do this easily & non-destructively. Inside the DAW you do
all your tempo / volume automation, instrument changes etc, and just replace
the midi file whenever you've made changes. If you've changed the form of the
piece (made the middle longer/shorter, for example), then anything after those
edits would not get shifted to match, of course.
Now if you're *editing the actual midi data* in the daw, and expecting Lilypond
to catch that, well, that's much more complicated and currently not anywhere
near in place.

all my lilypond fonts are huge!
hello all,
i'm running lilypond 2.19.83 (and also 2.18.2) on ubuntu 19.04. all the text
fonts are coming out giant, while the notation is fine. this is happening even
with old files (which used to print fine). old pdfs of those same old files are
fine. i tried just this, alone in a new file:
\relative c' { c-\markup "ab" }
and the "ab" are huge, like 60 point type. additionally, the letters are almost
completely on top of each other, as if they're spaced for a small font.
I've tried resetting the fonts with set-global-font, to no avail. can anyone
help me debug this?
thanks in advance

Re: Where to put user ly files on OSX?
Thanks Hans. You didn't quite understand my question, I think. I understand that I *can* put files practically anywhere. The problem is that I then have to use a really long include line like: \include /Users/peter/Documents/asdf.ly unlike the factory files, which only require: \include english.ly I'm wondering if there's another supported location to put files to include, such that Lilypond will AUTOMATICALLY find them, without requiring typing the full path. thanks for your response ~peter in oakland On Dec 7, 2011, at 1:02 AM, Hans Aberg wrote: On 7 Dec 2011, at 02:58, huzzam wrote: I'm fairly new to lilypond, and am starting to write my own ly files to include. I want to put them somewhere that will be accessible easily from any score (user defaults). The only place I've so far been able to find to put them is inside the lilypond application package itself (/Applications/Lilypond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/ly). This obviously is annoying when I upgrade lilypond, as I have to dig in there and copy my files to the new one. Is there some place I can put them so that I can still just \include asdf.ly (without a path), but which is not inside the package itself? Something along the lines of ~/Library/lilypond or /usr/share/lilypond? Your personal files should always be in your home catalog. You can work from any directory, but if you so like make a directory where you want, for example: ~/LilyPond/ ~/Music/LilyPond ~/Documents/LilyPond/ Not in ~/Library/, because that is for application support, and is even hidden in OS X 10.7. As for running lilypond from Terminal (it was not clear that this is what you wanted), make a script named lilypond, and put it in ~/bin or /usr/local/bin/: exec /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/bin/lilypond $@ Hans ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Where to put user ly files on OSX?
Thanks for the responses, everyone. I have been using the lilypond application (lilypond.app on Mac OSX), not the command line, so didn't know about any options. Does anyone know if there is a way to pass options to lilypond from lilypond.app? Otherwise I guess I'll have to dive all the way into getting a new editor set up and everything... Wow, I haven't used Vim since 1999! ;) thanks ~peter Peter Jaques, clarinetist trumpeter ~ huzzam.com director, Brass Menažeri :: brassmenazeri.com stellamara.com + janamband.com + facebook.com/OrkestarSali On Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 6:59 AM, Hans Aberg haber...@telia.com wrote: On 7 Dec 2011, at 15:49, Michael Ellis wrote: I understand that I *can* put files practically anywhere.
