Re: [LSR v2.18] Flamenco notation update\improvement
Hello Pierre: Since the v2.18 output of this snippet : http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=409 has an awfull look (see : http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/snippets/fretted-strings#fre tted-strings-flamenco-notation ) I completely agree! Please find herewith my suggestion. Waiting for your comment, I think that this is a big improvement. One thing that I have never liked about this snippet is the asymmetrical arrows. I think that you will notice the asymmetry at around 500% magnification at which point you will not miss it on a printed page. I adore the non-filled arrow heads but I fear that it makes it a bit more difficult to align the arrows perfectly. I personally use the filled arrow heads now because of this reason. I remember getting the arrow heads to line up though. The work around that I found was in using a center-column which contains the entire markup. Have you tried that?

Re: Guitars with capos
Hello Hilary: Please excuse a short notation question! This is a fun question! What's the preferred way of notating music for a guitar with capo? Sounding pitch, or as a transposing instrument (so that a guitar capoed on the third fret is effectively a guitar in E flat)? This would depend upon if you are using tabulature or standard notation, or both. With tabulature, it is preferred to notate without sounding pitch. It is preferred to notate as if there is no capo. Such that if one were to play on open string on a guitar that has a capo on the second fret, that string would be notated with a '0'. It is kind of a toss up between preference for what the standard notation would be for a transcription that has both tabulature and standard notation. Sometimes the standard notation is at sounding pitch and sometimes it is at pitch as if there were no capo. With some transcriptions you will find grey numbers that connote the open capoed string such that if one were to play an open string on a guitar that has a capo on the second fret, that open string would be notated with a grey number '2'. (Reference: Novella, by Benjamin Woolman (Stropes Editions).) These transcriptions are generally considered cumbersome by guitarists. Important to note that with transcriptions that have a 1/2, 2/3, 1/3 or other type of capo, where 3, 4, or 2 strings are capoed, use this type of transcription methodology. In standard notation (without tabulature) you will often find that the music is written with the pitch notated as if there wasn't a capo. Very rarely will you find music that is written at sounding pitch with a capo. In all cases, one will find that there is an indication of the use of a capo in the area of the top of the score that LilyPond calls the 'poet' heading. This is located below the title of the score and on the left-hand side of the page if you were looking at it. If the guitar is capoed on the fourth fret, the numeration is usually roman, ie: capo IV.

modifying the length and thickness of the footnote line
Hello all:
I am attempting to modify the thickness, placement, and length of the
spanner that appears at the bottom of the page when a footnote is
present in the code. I have tried everything that comes to mind.
I kind of expect it to be
\override FootNoteSpanner #'thickness = #'0.01
But that isn't it. Does one have to modify the Footnote_engraver?
I guess that I am at a loss here.
Also this raises another question: what is the difference between
FootNoteItem and FootNoteSpanner?
Here is a snippet to work with:
\version 2.16.2

Re: Drawing a hexagon with a number inside
Hello David:
Thanks for the help.
Those are not actually proper hexagons, so they are pretty easy to draw
using something like
\markup \path #0.25 #'((moveto 3 0)
(lineto 1 2)
(lineto -1 2)
(lineto -3 0)
(lineto -1 -2)
(lineto 1 -2)
(closepath))
There needs to be scaling and matching to the content as well, of course.
here is what I came up with from your recommendation:
\markup { \override #'(font-name . Arial)
{
\center-column {
\combine
\path #0.1 #'((moveto 0.9 0)
(lineto 0.4 0.7)
(lineto -0.4 0.7)
(lineto -0.9 0)
(lineto -0.4 -0.7)
(lineto 0.4 -0.7)
(closepath))
\override #'(font-size . -4)
\halign #CENTER
\raise #-0.5
7
}
}
}
I hate to use Arial but the publishing house that I am emulating uses
only proprietary fonts.

Re: Sharing: Capone, by Rachael [pdf]
Hello Federico: I wonder what's the meaning of the staff lines highlighted in purple... The TabStaff lines that are highlighted in purple indicate string-damping. This is where the indicated right-hand finger rests or plants upon the string indicated causing that string to *not* vibrate. The notation of this technique is not without historical precedent. In harp notation there is a symbol (looks kinda like a coda symbol) that is used to indicate that note duration is to be exact. Good classical guitar players will instinctively damp the strings in order to play the correct note duration. In Fingerstyle guitar, the notation of a semi-transparent line to connote string-damping was first introduced by John Stropes for the music of Michael Hedges. In the fingerstyle sphere a professional transcription can almost always be marked by the presence of string-damping notation. In short, the purple line is the notation of silence. Also, all the slides in your piece seem non legato, because they are not slurred. I use to write legato slides as: c( \glissando d) I am not familiar with legato slides. Do you have an example that you could share with me? I am intrigued. But my tablature references are probably very different from yours. I studied fingerstyle guitar with John Stropes for about eight years. My transcription and typesetting techniques are largely due to the quality of transcription that John has published. Although, I must say that Lilypond is a much more beautiful program than Finale for fingerstyle guitar notation. I have made quite a bit of headway on my current transcriptions. The issue with sharing the ones that I am working on now is that I do not own the copyright of the music. I would have to get permission from the artist to share any bit of it. One big thing that I am doing differently now is: Slurs. I no longer use the slur function in tabulature. I use something like this: c4~ \tweak TabNoteHead #'transparent ##t c\5 a,\5 I created a little shortcut so that I can use \fakeSlur to mean a transparent TabNoteHead. I use this now because I like the look of ties in tabulature more more than the look of slurs in tabulature. Feel free to share the recording if you have found it, I enjoy fingerstyle guitar ;-) The recording is from 2005. I was 17. I would be quite embarrassed to share it. I will consider it though. Oh, a friend of mine might be recording it soon. I will definitely share that. Rachael ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Dynamics take up too much space
Dear Lilypond Users: I have been having a conundrum as of late: I use a system of notation that requires as many as six to eight textspanners to be present at any given time. I generally do not need that much (more like four or so) but the functionality needs to be present. The way that I have accomplished this is through the use of multiple Dynamics voices. This leads to a ton of extra space at the bottom of each system. This really erks me because I don't use a lot of that extra space that six or seven Dynamics voices create at the bottom of each staff. My question: is there a way to make the ' \new Dynamics = ' context not take up any, take up very little, space at the bottom of a system? If you know of a better way of adding tons of markup to each system, please do not hesitate to help me out. This is what my that section of my score looks like if I have been unclear: \new TabStaff = guitar tab \set Staff.stringTunings = \stringTuning a,, a, d g b e' \new Dynamics = sixstr \sixstr \new Dynamics = dynamicsone \dynamicsone \new Dynamics = dynamicstwo \dynamicstwo \new Dynamics = dynamicsthree \dynamicsthree \new Dynamics = dynamicsfour \dynamicsfour \new Dynamics = dynamicsfive \dynamicsfive \new Dynamics = dynamicssix \dynamicssix \new TabVoice = tab \tab Thank you kindly, Rachael ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Dynamics take up too much space
I think that I can refine this question more after spending most of today struggling with this problem. (I am sorry that my previous question was so poorly worded.) I am trying to figure out out to get the spacing of the dynamics non-staff line to equal zero. I do not want my dynamics context to take up any space. I think that this would have to do with nonstaff-nonstaff-spacing but I do not know how to do what I want to do. I do not even know if this possible. I am on 2.16.2. What leads me to believe this is the statement in the 2.16 documentation: Non-staff lines (such as Lyrics, ChordNames, etc.) are contexts whose layout objects are engraved like staves (i.e. in horizontal lines within systems). Specifically, non-staff lines are non-staff contexts that create the VerticalAxisGroup layout object.

Should work just fine with decimals. Decimal numbers don't really have
an input syntax in the LilyPond language proper (not while in music
entry mode), so you'll need to escape into Scheme for entering them:

This is something that really sets apart professional from amateur Fingerstyle guitar transcriptions. The standard for Solo fingerstyle guitar can be found at Stropes Editions, LLC. www.stropes.com One can view an article that John wrote that has on the second page of the article the first page of Ragamuffin, by Michael Hedges here: http://www.stropes.com/refdocs/raga.pdf . What you see here has been developed a bit over the years. But I provide it as an example of minutiae that is conveyed in solo fingerstyle guitar transcription. I have basically made a mental list of all of the issues that I have with it (something that is really nice is that Lilypond fixes those issues by default); I would certainly be willing to share that with y'all. But the crux of the issue with solo Fingerstyle guitar transcriptions lies with the community's use of Finale. Myself and one other person (hopefully) have started to reassess the standards of Fingerstyle guitar transcription stylesheets. I have stressed, in my fingerstyle community, the importance of software freedom and the like, but what really gets them is that I can put string-dampening into my transcriptions without an external program. I have also been planting seeds in the minds of my community regarding some of the major faults of Finale and Stropes Editions. Most of the faults relate to readability. Kieren, I would love to help you put together a Fingerstyle guitar stylesheet. I have been basically producing one myself; I would love to make it widely available. Please let me know how I can help.

How to change TabNoteHead
Hello:
I am attempting to change the TabNoteHead through what the
documentation calls 'Modifying stencils' (chp. 5.5.3). I can't seem to
get the stencil override to work. I have been able to change the
TabNoteHead through the use of postscript like in one of the snippets
(http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=516) but I would rather use the
musicglyphs in the Feta font than have to manually create each object.
With that being said, I would love to be able to change the
TabNoteHead by any means. \deadNotes looks great but I need more
options.
I have attached a png of what I am attempting.
Here is the code that does not work for me:
\version 2.16.2
tick = {
\once \override TabNoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override TabNoteHead #'text = \markup { \musicglyph
#noteheads.s0la }
}
\new TabStaff {
c8 \tick c8 c8 c8 }
Thank you kindly,

Hi again,
glad to hear that it works for you.
Another thought: if you want to tweak TabNoteHeads in a chord
differently, you should use a tweak instead.
So you may want to replace \newTabNoteHead from my previous mail
with
the following (or perhaps use both, where appropriate).
It works for single TabNoteHeads, too. Although creating a shortcut
isn't possible in the same manner as before
\version 2.16.2
#(define (new-stil markup)
;; Creates a stencil
(lambda (grob)
(grob-interpret-markup grob markup)))
tweakTabNoteHead =
#(define-music-function (parser location mrkp mus)(markup?
ly:music?)
#{
\tweak #'stencil #(new-stil mrkp)
#mus
#})
newTabHeadI = \markup { \musicglyph #noteheads.s0la }

Well, I can't answer quick or short. There is no special or single resource for these functions. I wrote them ad hoc. (Though, for my own purpose I did some much more complex overrides for TabNoteHead 'stencil before. That helps. :) ) If you want to learn how to do it yourself, the Extending Manual and the Internals Manual will become your friends. Looking at http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending/simple-substitution-fu nctions and following the link http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/substitution-function-e xamples you'll find that \newTabNoteHead and \tweakTabNoteHead are substitution-functions as described there. Ok, you need to know the difference of \tweak and \override. IIRC, it's explained in the NR. ( \tweak is more difficult to understand. Though David Kastrup put some serious work on it. You'll probably see the advantages once you have upgraded to the hopefully coming soon new stable.) The Internals mention that TabNoteHead supports the text- interface: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/internals/tabnotehead (scroll down) Some scheme/guile kowledge is useful. There is a scheme-tutorial in Extending. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending-big-page#scheme-tutori al And we have the 'scheme-sandbox' for experiments. Let me say, that for first succesfull steps into the world of custom-definitions and functions the needed amount of scheme- knowledge is very low. At some point of time you probably may notice that this little tutorial is not enough for advanced codings. Though there are several tutorials available online. (I've a copy of the guile-manual downloaded in case I need to work offline.) Studying code-examples is very helpful: Posts on this list. LSR-snippets Our source-code in /ly and /scm And you need to practise what you've learned. _Best_ practise is trying to answer all kind of user-requests. ;) Hope that helps a bit, Harm I think that this will help quite a bit!

Hi Rachael,
the TabNoteHead already supports the text-interface.
\override TabNoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print is
needless
than.
\override TabNoteHead #'text = \markup {...}
doesn't work, because a new text needs to be inserted very early in
the compiling-process, afaik.
You could use:
\version 2.16.2
tick = {
\once \override TabNoteHead #'before-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob)
(ly:grob-set-property!
grob
'text
#{ \markup { \musicglyph #noteheads.s0la } #} ))
}
\new TabStaff {

Though, I'd prefer one of the following codings
(I recommend the second if you want to do more frequently)
\version 2.16.2

% First possibility.

tick¹ = {
\once \override TabNoteHead #'stencil =

#(define (new-stil markup)

(lambda (grob)

newTabNoteHead =
#(define-music-function (parser location mrkp)(markup?)
;; Uses @code{new-stil} in a music-function.
;; Ofcourse it's possible to use:
;; @samp{\\once \\override TabNoteHead #'stencil =
;; #(new-stil #{ \\markup { \musicglyph #noteheads.s0la }
#})}
;; directly.
#{
\once \override TabNoteHead #'stencil = #(new-stil mrkp)
#})
% creating a variable as sort of schortcut.
tick² = \newTabNoteHead \markup { \musicglyph #noteheads.s0la }
\new TabStaff {

creating a slur with markup
Hello everyone:
I am wondering how one might create a slur with the \markup command. I
am trying to create, in tabulature, two pull-offs that occur
simultaneously in the same voice.
\version 2.16.2
\new TabStaff {
c' e8\2\4 b d\2\4
}

voices in the tabulature as that would mess up the stems and beaming
that I am working on.

Hello Harm:
Thank you for the quick reply.
I think that I could possibly make this work. Would I manipulate the
padding of the slur to get them closer to the notes? Also, how would
you flip the bottom one 180 degrees?
This example shoes a little bit more of what I am doing:
\version 2.16.2
\new TabStaff {
\tabFullNotation
\stemDown
\set doubleSlurs = ##t
\set Staff.stringTunings = \stringTuning c, g, d g b c'
\override LaissezVibrerTie #'extra-offset = #'(-2.0 . 0.0)
c'^\laissezVibrer e^\laissezVibrer c^\laissezVibrer
f,^\laissezVibrer8\2\4\5\6( b d\2\4)
}
The LaissezVibrer on the left of the notes indicate hammer on from
nowhere otherwise known as tapping. The c' e are with the left hand
and the c f, are with the right hand. In the last couple weeks I have
figured out quite a bit of hacks to get the tabulature output to be
adequate for fingerstyle guitar needs. But this slur issue is giving me
some issues.
In the above example the slur that is appearing on the stems of the each
eighth notes should be appearing on the fourth string, optimally in the
'e' and the 'd' in the space above.
Thank you,

Up-arrow, as indicated above, is a strum, or pluck with a plectrum, towards the floor. In notated Flamenco-guitar-music the same. Only in guitar-music to be played with a pick it's the opposite. This inconsistency is disturbing. To be fair: with a pick you can play a single string in either direction and pitches are no longer a help for figuring stroke direction. When playing classical guitar, you don't play a single string with the back of a finger. A tremolo is done by alternating fingers, not by reversing the stroke direction. In Flamenco as well as in fingerstyle guitar there are instances where one produces a tremelo by rapid strumming with the index-finger of the right hand. Another instance, in classical guitar, would be in the first movement of Kazuhito Yamashita's transcription of Dvorak's Ninth Symphony. I don't have a copy of that readily available. But it is a quick succession of the index finger back and forth across the strings. I do have examples in fingerstyle guitar (Leo Kottke) where strike direction is indicated by arrows within the tablature. An ^ up-arrow indicates a strum towards the floor.
