compile ERROR hara-kiri pure-height
I've encountered an ERROR while compiling an older ly file (worked with 2.11.12) using 2.11.26. I updated the syntax and still received the error. (Of course, now it won't compile with the 2.11.12 any more). It is a piano part from an ensemble piece that uses the centered- dynamics workaround from the manual. I adjusted the workaround to the newer version of the manual as well. Lilypond seems to successfully interpret the music, then gives me this error: Preprocessing graphical objects...ERROR: In procedure ly:hara-kiri- group-spanner::pure-height: ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 2: 0 The piece is 150 measures long, giving me 450 measures combined of leftHand, rightHand, and centeredDynamics in which the error (or wrong argument type) could be found. Would anybody have any hints on even what to be looking for in the code so I could isolate the lines that are producing the error? I'd be very grateful!

I think you're hitting on crashes that are triggered due to your
unorthodox
rhythms. The process log window in the macos X version is not so
sophisticated,
so it doesn't properly print error messages for core dumps and
similar.
Still, if you can manage to reproduce any of this, please send me
an offending
input.
Well, I found the offending input, and it appears to be something
completely different all together:
It appears to be unterminated slurs that are the offending input, but
only as of lilypond 2.11.x, and only at bar lines.
Here's an example:
Using 2.11.5, lilypond stops at the "Preprocessing graphical
objects..." and outputs no .ps/.pdf when compiling this expression:
{d'4 cis' d' cis'(}
However, THIS expression (slur beginning moved back one note) results
in only a warning in the console about an unterminated slur, but
the .ps/.pdf is created and displayed:
{d'4 cis' d'( cis'}
Using 2.10.5, both of these expressions are compiled to completion
and the .pdf is opened. Both return the "unterminated slur" warning,
but finish anyway. In the case where the slur is begun on the last
note of the measure using 2.10.5, the slur is merely not drawn on the
output.
This issue made itself evident to me because my scores are often
hundreds of measures long, and when tweaking them I often comment out
all but 5 or 10 bars at a time.
Hope this is of some significance for you.

PhrasingSlur-Slur conflict
Hi,
Using lilypond 2.11.0, MacOS 10.4.8, PB G4:
I'm getting extremely huge phrasing slurs now and again when the
first note of the phrase is also a short normal slur within the
phrasing slur.
In this context I have also discovered that changing the #'height-
limit of the PhrasingSlur has no effect when there is a short Slur
started from the same note.
Here's an example:
\version "2.11.0"
{
r16.[ f'32-. f'8-.] r4 c''32(\([ f') r8 f'32 f'] r8.[ a'16(] |
f'8)[ r8] r8[ a'32 a'\) r16] r16.[ c''32(\( f'8)] r8[ f'16 f'\)] |
}
Changing the #'height-limit of the PhrasingSlur with a \once
\override works as long as the short Slur is not begun on the same
note as the PhrasingSlur.
Any hints?
Thanks,

Mac lilypond textditor enhancements
Hi Han-Wen,I've been spending time recently looking for the most efficient and helpful text editor combinations for my lilypond work.I use a Mac PPC with 10.4.7.My primary interests in a text editor are line-numbers (to be able to find things when I've made typing errors in my files), something that opens in conjunction with point-and-click, perhaps syntax highlighting, and maybe a choice of which font I use.The current text editor that comes with the LilyPond.app doesn't do those things (you can change the fonts while working on the files, but they're gone again when you save and reopen them), and as we briefly discussed in a mail a while back, I can't change a setting somewhere that allows me to select which text program is opened when I click on a PDF of my lilypond scores.I would be willing to sponsor an extension of the current features if you had the time and interest in adding them.I currently use TextWrangler for my lilypond files, which allows me the line numbering and minimal syntax highlighting (I have the display read the ly files with LaTeX syn-highlighting and it gives me all I need since the commands are all also preceded backslashes).Either option would be fine for me: the choice of which editor (some people could then choose emacs, perhaps) or an extension of the current included text editor for the LilyPond.app.Would you be willing to work on adding such features (feature), and if so, what might it cost?Thanks,Sean ___Sean ReedHamburg, Germanywww.seanreed.de ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Hi Jo, Thanks for the help! Stephen provided the older versions of Console and ErrorList. (I haven't fooled around to see of both these older versions are required, or just one.) I only changed the Console, not the ErrorList, and it worked. Also, while the PDF viewer is set to AcroRd32.exe, Preview.app is launching for me. Didn't work for me. Under 'Commands' I've set LilyPond command to '/usr/local/bin/ lilypond', which is where my lilypond is. I put the path in through the LilyPond.app/Contents to the /bin/ lilypond at it worked fine. jEdit wasn't picking up my $PATH from etc/profile or my own personal .profile in my home directory. Setting the lilypond command explicity got lilypond to run. Putting the full path in seemed to work fine for me, so I didn't bother with the rest. I have the binary downloaded, and it seems to work fine that way. Getting convert-ly to run took a tiny bit of hacking.

Hi again, Same question, after some newly failed attempts on my part. A new phrasing of the question: Does anybody know how to change the text editor application that is opened when you point-and-click on a .pdf file of a lilypond score in MacOSX 10.4.6? Is that even possible? In chapter 12.7 of the current manual (2.9.3) it says lilypond-invoke- editor tests the environment variable for EDITOR. I first changed the EDITOR in my .profile, but clicking on a note in the .pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly file with the LilyPond.app. I then followed the directions in a rather old link from the apple developers website to create a .MacOSX folder and an environment.plist, and in that I put: EDITOR the/path/to/my/other/text/application/ ...and logged out and back in. Clicking on a note in the pdf image still opened the appropriate .ly file with LilyPond.app. I have nothing against the LilyPond.app, but I do most of my texts with TextWrangler, including my lilypond scores, and I thought it would be convenient to have the point-and-click open the appropriate files again right into that editor. I'd be very grateful for any clues. Thanks, Sean ___ Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany www.seanreed.de Reading Appendix D of the manual (2.8), it seems the default editor for point and click indeed CAN be changed, but the manual is -- to me, at least -- completely unclear on how to do so.

Re: uncertain about MIDI dynamic scaling
Hi Mats,
I guess you can't please them all, can you.
Is there documentation somewhere on how the .midiMinimumVolume
and .midiMaximum values specifically effect the velocity scaling? I
expected it to scale #0.0=0 to #1.0=127, but I discovered that you
can go above 1.0 and below 0.0 into negative values. For now I used a
hit or miss approach to gradually tweak the scaling to my taste,
opening the MIDI files in Digital Performer and looking at the values
in the event lists.
Through experimenting I also discovered that the dynamic range in
LilyPond is
\p to \. The current downloadable PDF version of the manual
still states this range as \ppp to \fff (with a typo as well, I
think, since \fff is listed twice).
Best,
Sean

I found a few mentions of this in the archives but no specific
discussions of this particular issue.
I noticed today after not using MIDI output from LilyPond for
several versions (and months) that the differences in the volume
between dynamics don't seem as noticeable as I remembered them
from earlier versions.
As a test, I rendered a MIDI file of this lily code:
{c8\ppp d\pp e\p f\mp g\mf a\f b\ff c\fff}
and opened it in Digital Performer and looked at the events list.
The velocities in the events list are:
53 - 62 - 69 - 77 - 85 - 94 - 100 - 107
I would have expected them to be more like
16 - 32 - 48 - 64 - 80 - 96 - 112 - 128
Am I misunderstanding something?
Thanks for any hints.
Best,
Sean

Re: 2717 and up creates no pdf of old lys in macosx
no...
change that...
i had only reentered a few lines, but when i entered a few more just
now, i seem to have narrowed the culprit down a bit.
it would appear that it might have something to do with the beaming
of rests.
more specifically: when i manually beam a beat together that starts
and ends with a rest (see example below).

stopStaff at beginning of staff
hi,
first of all, thank you hans and ly programmers for this feature. it
is fantastic.
however, somehow it isn't working the way i expect.
am i doing something wrong?
did i miss something in the news?
i'd like to have no staff lines in one instrument until a few
measures into the piece, but no matter how long i make the first
\skip, the first \stopStaff only leaves off the staff lines for the
first 2 beats (more accurately: 1 beat plus the expected 1 beat of
lead-in lines), and creates a bunch of empty measures with full staff
lines after that.
there's a thread in the archives which may refer to the same thing,
but i didn't see a real answer. the response was to look at the
example in the documentation, but in the example in the documentation
you don't notice it because the stopStaff is only told to be 2 beats
anyway. if you take the example from the documentation and change the
first \skip, which i've pretty much done in the script below, the
same thing happens.
any help would be appreciated.
best,
sean

Re: less than two visible stems
I was wondering if it could be done automatically. I've tried
I don't know what's best. For a much larger portion of the music, it
might be a valid warning. Ideas?
i can think of instances where a warning is valid, but the only ones
that come to mind right off the bat are generally stylistic issues; for
example, when beaming a 16th note to a dotted 8th rest in most common
forms of classical music notation.
what other situations for valid warnings are there that i'm
overlooking? this might clarify understanding of autoBeam and help find
an idea for a creative approach to the issue (i'm sure you guys have
thought these things through, especially being active instrumentalists
yourselves).
i can beam the following with no warning about "less than two visible
stems": a16[ r8 a16]. whereas a16[ r8.] gives me the warning.
if it is indeed primarily a style issue, perhaps a (set--style)
function would be possible. there are various automatic accidental
environments with different rules which are set with the
(set-accidental-style) function.
would it be feasible to implement different automatic beaming
environments? perhaps with an argument in the context part of the
function to indicate which beat duration then gets checked for
potential mistakes? for example, one could indicate #
(set-automaticBeaming-style 'restInclusion #('quarters#)) [forgive me
if that's senseless code!]. this would indicate, for example, that
rests can be beamed to notes, even in groups of two (one rest, one
note), and that automatic beaming is undertaken for every quarter note
beat. this would perhaps also allow for zeroguy's desire to not have to
manually place the square brackets all the time. one could also then
choose #(set-automaticBeaming-style 'default), like with the accidental
styles, which would then give the warnings we get now, and which would
be default.
again, i have no understanding of the underlying programming involved,
so forgive me if the implementation of such a suggestion would mean
rewriting everything.

Is there any option to turn on to allow this to happen automatically?

less than two visible stems
hi, i have a question/request concerning the beaming of rests and notes. my rhythms are often complex, so i like to make the notation easier for the musicians by beaming notes and rests together that occur in the same beat. this works in many scenarios in lilypond, but i get warnings in others. when i beam, for example: r8.[ a16] or: r16 [ a8.] or: r8[ b8] i get the notification: warning: beam has less than two visible stems and the image is often incorrect. it often works if i do it in an isolated test, but not if there are several of these within an input file. i'd like to be able to do this, since a series of r8. a16 rhythms interchanged with r16 a8. rhythms is often very difficult to read if the notes and rests are all single and floating. the musicians often draw their own lines into the score to orient themselves around the beats. is there a syntax which allows me to do this? or could it be integrated? thanks, sean Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany Web: www.seanreed.de___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

It includes PDF point & click support, if you install a PDF viewer (like adobe acrobat) yourself. http://lilypond.org/mingw/setup.exe MacOS X === It installs with drag & drop, and comes with ClickEdit, a simple editor for PDF point & click support. http://lilypond.org/download/binaries/MacOS/ It may be installed next to Fink's LilyPond. These are both beta-releases. Expect to find a few rough edges.

Re: mac osx pdf point-and-click [was: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode]
hi arjan,
i double-checked this and it works now:
12) clicking on a note or other object now opens the corresponding
lilypond file and takes me to A spot in the script. (it doesn't call
emacs to the front though).
This final point is the tick, and may be where han-wen or somebody
could add some advice. It takes me to the line and number as stated in
the textedit:// hyperlink, but this is not the corresponding code for
the given object.
i resaved the .ly-file i was using under a different name, reran
lilypond on it and tried the point-and-click again and it worked
perfectly. worked with all other files as well.
so, good news!
for some reason i have to run lilypond from the terminal.app, since
running it from xterm gives me an error in converting from ps to pdf.
something about ps2pdf papersize="a4" and something. but this is not
such a bad thing.
best,
sean

You might have found the answer yourself already. What you need is to
define an environment variable called "EDITOR" pointing to the editor
you use. In the Terminal you start lilypond from you need to do:
export EDITOR=/sw/bin/emacs
or some other editor of choice. This is for bash. I forgot the tcsh
syntax. For convenience sake, you can put that export command in your
.profile file.
is it possible that there is a different command necessary to
determine the EDITOR for darwin? can i determine whether emacs or a
given text editor is set as default for my darwin environment? or
can i set that to emacs? or is textedit a protocol that isn't
available on darwin? when i placed the hyperlink of a note from the
pdf directly into the firefox address box i got the message that
firefox didn't support the textedit protocol. is it possible that
the macos firefox doesn't? sorry for all the questions.
btw: Bertalan: is there a LilyTool available or becoming available
that will allow point-and-click with ly 2.5.23 in jEdit?

Sean,
Did you put in your .emacs the code that links .ly files with
lilypond-mode?
You can do this by adding:
;; lilypond
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-hook 'LilyPond-mode-hook (lambda () (turn-on-font-lock)))
Or, alternatively, you can use M-x load-library [ret] lilypond-mode
to load lilypond mode. This makes the lilypond functions available
to emacs. You then are able to switch on lilypond mode by M-x
LilyPond-mode. Please be aware that these names are case-sensitive.

Re: mac osx pdf point-and-click [was: mac osx emacs lilypond-mode]
hi arjan,
this is my first real contribution to furthering knowledge on the list!
i've gotten the point-and-click to work on macos 10.3.9 with ly 2.5.23,
but with a couple of ticks which you (or maybe han-wen or others?)
could help me iron out.
the solution was to do everything in xwindows with x11 and not from the
terminal.app (which you perhaps already knew?)
here's what i did:
1) i installed firefox from FINK to be run from an xterm in apple's x11.
2) i added the following lines to the prefs.js file in
~HOME/.mozilla/firefox/vgftrus6.default/, with the full path to the
lilypond-pdfpc-helper (not given on the lilypond website
documentation):
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.textedit",
"/sw/bin/lilypond-pdfpc-helper");
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.warn-external.textedit", false);
3) i installed Xpdf using FINK
4) i added the following line to the xpdfrc file in /sw/etc/; again
note the full path:
urlCommand "/sw/bin/firefox -remote 'openURL(%s)'"
5) i modified the editor search in the lilypond-pdfpc-helper binary in
/sw/bin/ to read (again note the full path):
if ly_pc_editor == None:
if re.search ("emacs", editor):
ly_pc_editor = '/sw/bin/emacsclient --no-wait +%(line)s:%(column)s
%(file)s'
6) i then start apple's x11, and start /sw/bin/emacs from an xterm
(this is one point where you may be able to help me: i can't figure out
where to set the commands for the xterm so that i can just type "emacs"
and have it automatically prepend the /sw/bin/)
7) you have to start the emacs server with M-x server-start
8) in a new xterm i then select emacs as the EDITOR using: export
EDITOR="/sw/bin/emacs" (this is the next point you may be able to help
me with. when i just enter "export" i see that, for example, the SHELL
is set to bash etc., but no default for EDITOR. i can't seem to find
the file to enter the EDITOR default, which is apparently, for example,
the .profile file for the Terminal.app. I added export
EDITOR="/sw/bin/emacs" to the bashrc file, but this didn't seem
alleviate having to do it by hand in the xterm).
9) then i start firefox in a new xterm with /sw/bin/firefox
10) in another new xterm i start /sw/bin/xpdf
11) i load a pdf file made with ly2.5.23 into xpdf.
12) clicking on a note or other object now opens the corresponding
lilypond file and takes me to A spot in the script. (it doesn't call
emacs to the front though).
This final point is the tick, and may be where han-wen or somebody
could add some advice. It takes me to the line and number as stated in
the textedit:// hyperlink, but this is not the corresponding code for
the given object. it is generally a line or two down. I checked to see
if it had anything to do with lines which have been commented out, but
it doesn't seem to. i'm wondering if it is different with a single
voice lilypond file, but as yet have only tried it with multiple voice
files.
In the hope that this may help you out a bit, and that we can find the
last step in the chain to the correct position in the lilypond file!!
Best,
Sean
ps: my autoload still doesn't work for lilypond files in emacs, even in
the xwindows environment. i'll keep trying to figure that out.

thanks again han-wen, mats, donald axel, jonatan, and fairchild for the help with the bartok pizz. it opened my eyes a bit to the flexibility of self-programmed extensions, specifically for extended performance techniques.
i am now attempting to put a little cross on the stems of notes for passages or pitches which are to be performed battuto (strings) or with "slap" articulations for winds.
i attempted to modify your examples with the attached patch (see below), but the crosses always remain at a static x-y coordinate. i assume this is because i defined it as a markup command. is there a way to define a stencil (forgive me if it's incorrect terminology) that would place a cross in the note's corresponding stem while automatically modifying the y-coordinate so as to position it in the middle of that given stem (see attached example)?
thanks for your help.

Re: Simple OS X Lily previewer in the works (was getting Lily/mftrace on MacOSX)
hi ed, (1) Would use use this application? (Feel free to just email me directly.) i would certainly try it out. i use texshop for my latex texts and like it very much. i currently use jEdit for lilypond, and by the way don't find it slow at all, as opposed to an issue which was on the list recently. (2) Any other key features you'd like to see? point and click. (3) Echoing Han-Wen's inquiry about a binary distribution: what would be a reasonable price? firstly, i am very grateful for the work that goes into valuable creations, and feel that nobody should work for nothing. however, as an experimental composer, i often find myself working for little to nothing. the "reasonable price" is an odd issue for me and i didn't put in my two cents to that discussion on the list recently either. but: i find the concept of "reasonable" when it comes to software like this undefinable. in my opinion, lilypond's output is far superior to finale and sibelius, which both go for 700 to 800 euros (i live in germany), and its flexibility is great and growing. so based on that, you could justify selling a self-installing lilypond binary for the same amount or more. however, i consider 700 and 800 euros for this software to be an unreasonable price, and even if somebody were to explain to me why it is reasonable, i certainly could not afford to invest in those programs or their updates or their "os x" compatible versions anyway. i am a professional composer for contemporary art music and computer generated and interactive art music (i hate that term, but am only attempting to point out that i have professional standards but no money or potential for commercial use of my works when they are finished) and use two other pieces of software which are among the international standards for "art" computer composition and the leading and cutting edge for professional sound quality, namely supercollider and csound. these programmes are constantly under development and there are binaries for several platforms. both of these programmes are open(ish) source and free of charge in both their binary and source forms. this is something which i, as an artist who is regularly involved in experimental projects with limited budgets that often exclude my own payment and have no "resale" value, am very very appreciative of. this doesn't answer the question directly, and by no means would i ever want to suggest that anybody invest blood sweat and tears to develop something for me with no reimbursement, but it does imply that if there were a way to keep the program free of fee, i for one would be very grateful. best, sean Sean Reed Hamburg, Germany Web: www.seanreed.de On 13.03.2005, at 23:41, Ed Baskerville wrote: Hi all, I've just started work on a simple LilyPond previewer for OS X.

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. In which case, I *A*M* rejecting, and yet I still get this message saying I've been suspended. When I configure my reject rules, my mail "client" sends a 550 back to the relay. I presume that my ISP's mail server is doing the same. The problem is, if it's come from the sender's ISP's relay servers, I bet the effect is the same as what you call a bounce.

modern accidental style
first, thank you so much for bringing back the dvis. point-and-click with jedit works again and it is truly a beneficial feature! i think i've noticed a change in the accidentals though. i have been using "modern" the whole time, and now i think the accidentals are different suddenly with 2.3.18. looking at the documentation, it would seem that they may have been "fixed" and are "correct" now (accidentals are now remembered to the end of the measure), but to be honest i really liked the other way better, even if it was a mistake. up until 2.3.18 i was getting like a "forget-cautionary" when i had chosen the "modern" style, where every chromatically altered pitch (i.e. sharp or flat) was given an accidental; even if there were 6 d-sharps in a row in the same measure, they all got an accidental, but when the pitch then changed from d-sharp to d-natural, there was one initial "natural" sign, and then no more accidentals. this is very effective for atonal scores with lots of fast notes in each measure where the accidentals are sometimes different, sometimes not. is this a feature that is available somehow else that i could reimplement into my score? if not, could it get built back in somehow? (i've got two musicians already learning the first half of a score with the former accidental practice, and i would like to not have switched the modus operandi in the middle of the score when i give them the second half, for their sake too). thanks, - sean ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

lilypond in a latex document
hi,
i'm working on an essay in which i would like to include small motives directly in a sentence of the text without starting a new line and centering the musical fragment. is there a way to do this using lilypond?
i can do this using an eps or other image file, by including the "\usepackage{graphicx}" and placing "\includegraphics" right in the line of text with no "\begin{figure}" and "\end{figure}". the sentences flow right on and the little motive gets included in the sentence like a word.
The examples in the lilypond documentation on lilypond-book using "\begin{lilypond}" work well, but always force a new line (and center?) making it like a full-fledged example. is there a way to do it without starting the new line?
btw: when using the "short version" of syntax from the lilypond-book documentation ("\lilypond[staffsize=11]{}"), i get an error when running latex, saying that "\lilypond" is an undefinded control sequence.
this is all happening with mac os 10.3.5, using lilypond 2.3.16. i'm also using TeXShop v1.35 to edit the latex and command line to run lilypond-book.

grace note midi output
hi,
another midi question. i've checked the list archives but found no info
on the following:
the midi output of my grace note groups is not accurate, although the
paper output is. within the midi, a segment of the duration of grace
note groups is being added into the playback actual time, resulting in
an offset of the voice within the midi file. ie: a 4-tone grace note
gesture within one voice of a score will result in that voice being off
by a 16th or more in the midi playback.
is this a known issue? any hints? thanks.
best,

this creates the correct paper and midi output:

\clef violin
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"violin"
c8 \grace b16 d8 e4 f8 g8 a4 |

\time 4/4
\new Staff <<

\new Staff <<

}
this does not:
notes1 = \notes {
\relative c'' {
\time 4/4
\clef violin
\set Staff.midiInstrument = #"violin"
c4 \grace {b16[ c]} d32 e d16 e4 f8 g8 a8 |

\score {
<<
\time 4/4
\new Staff <<
\notes1 >>
\new Staff <<
\notes2 >>
>>
\midi { \tempo 4 = 60 }
\paper {}
}
reducing the grace note duration value to 32nds remedies the problem in

(ie, line 6 becomes: c4 \grace {b32[ c]} d32 e d16 e4 f8 g8 a8 |)

hi, i'm new to the list and relatively new to lilypond. i am very impressed with and pleased by its flexibility and the great quality of its appearance. i am using mac os 10.3.4 and lilypond 2.2.3. the tempo of the midi output from my files does not seem to be controllable with the "\tempo" command. no edits to the code effect the output whatsoever, which is always somewhere around quarter = 120. i found this issue discussed in the archive list from may 5 to 8 2004, with the suggested workaround of using the program "mighty midi", but all of the links to "mighty midi" and its author have apparently since then become obsolete and the program has simply disappeared without a trace from the internet. any further hints on other workarounds? or perhaps any other free/open midi players with adjustable tempo for mac os x that somebody can recommend? or does perhaps somebody have a copy of the "mighty midi" program that they can mail me? (all the links suggest it's only around 170k). also, is this a mac specific problem? is there a fix in the works? thanks. best, sean reed -- Sean Reed Web: www.seanreed.de ___ lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
