fret-diagram for button accordion and/or free bass accordion
Hi I play the accordion and occasionally arrange some pieces with lilypond. The systems of the buttons on the right hand (button accordion) and free bass (left hand) are organised chromatic in three rows. Therefore the fingerings for scales and chords can be shifted by a minor third. Depending on the instrument there are also additional repeated rows - medium-sized button-accordions have five rows on the right hand so that a scale can be played with the same fingering in any key. Typically the layout (and also the "standard" or "stradella" bass system) is illustrated with schematic diagrams like a diagonal grid of circles with numbers or note names in it. This is quite similar to tabulaturs for guitar- just the system is a different one. My question: Is it possible to reuse or adapt lilypond's \fret-diagram in the following way: - hide the grid - slant the "verticals" of the grid by some degrees so that the grid is not rectangular anymore (but a parallelogram or rhomboid) Potentially this is might rather be for developers, but I assume some of them are reading this list also.

I'd like to have the first note, the chord and the \mark left-aligned
with \mark in the middle and vertical space between them reasonable.
How can I get that?

I can't blame you for using an old version, but I'm impressed to see everybody here helping you and giving you advices while none at all would be needed if you were using a newer version.

(margins etc) displayed by lines and text. Something similar would be
awful for lilypond. I always feel like groping in the dark with all

Well, three things come into my mind. --png produces file-page1.png file-page2.png etc. First, quick 'n' dirty: ls -1 file-page*.png | wc -l (This is the digit one after ls (one entry per line), and the letter L after wc (count lines).) Make sure there's nothing else matching to the filename pattern. Otherwise you could do a bash loop and count until there's no file of the expected name... Or try something like ls -1 | grep -E 'file-page[0-9]+\.png' | wc -l But, since you generate the pdf anyway: Second, using pdfinfo (which I'm not sure where it comes from, but it seems to be standard. Maybe xpdf?): pdfinfo file.pdf | grep Pages: and remove the Pages:\t in your script. Third, same idea, and yet another advertising for the great pdftk (http://www.accesspdf.com/pdftk/): pdftk file.pdf dump_data | grep NumberOfPages: and remove the NumberOfPages: in your script. There is no option to get similar output directly from lily? Hmm, ok. These are enough workarounds to keep going. And you are right, pdftk is a *great* tool (and FYI it's just a wrapper to a java-library called iText by Bruno Lowagi.

chords above piano staff
Hi all
I have a piece with a written out piano intro directly followed by a
leadsheet with lyrics. The lower staff is only needed for the intro.
Now the chords appear below both staffs in the intro, but stay there,
when the leadsheet/with lyrics starts. Then the chords are between
melody and lyrics instead of above as it is the case when i have only
one staff. How can I force it to put the chords always above the piano
staff?
The layout is as follows:
\new PianoStaff
\chords { ... } % 24 bars
\new Staff = upper {
\upperIntro% 8 bars
\melody% 16 bars
}
\addlyrics { }
}
\new Staff = lower {
\lowerIntro% 8 bars
}

increase space between multiple songs
Hello
Im writing a small songbook at the moment. It consists of multiple
\scores I include. Each has a header as follows:
\header {
title =
arranger =
subtitle = title of the song
}
The whole book has a normal header with title and arranger set and a
section \paper{ printallheaders=##t }
Is this the right way to do it?
And the specific question: How can I increase the vertical space
between song #1 with four stanzas and the subtitle of song #2 ? In the
present state, the space between the subtitle and the preceding lyrics
is much smaller than the space to the first line of music of song #2 .
