Re: Header title problem or convert-ly problem
as per mats suggestion, change directory to where your .ly file is located
e.g.
On my machine just typing convert-ly and hit enter brings up usage
instructions. If that does not work for you, try specifying everything
explicitely
c:\program files\lilypond\usr\bin\convert-ly.py -e mytemplate.ly
or if that still fails
c:\program files\lilypond\usr\bin\python.exe c:\program
files\lilypond\usr\bin\convert-ly.py -e mytemplate.ly

A: I have tried over and over to follow the docs. AND I have copy and
pasted both Mats suggestions and now Simon's .
Mats has never worked. Yes the version info is in the file. No it did not
work.
Simon's suggestion, I renamed the file without the space and in fact after
that copy/pasted his version into run and it can't find convert-ly so I
browsed to my applications file (on my desktop which is where I install lily
from) and convert-ly flashes and there is no new version or file that I can
find anywhere and the problem continues to exist.
So I need more hints as either
1] how to change the header so it works the way it did in 2.10
or
2] how to get convert-ly to work on my machine.
Thanks

so I have the file in C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton
it's called
my template.ly
it's version 2.10.25
I just tried to follow the instructions from the docs here's what I think
it says to do in run under xp
convert-ly --from C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly\version 2.10.25 --to C:\Documents and
Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\my template.ly version 2.12.2
That didn't work so what am I not understanding?
As you seem to have spaces in directory and/or filenames the arguments need
to be quoted. Maybe that is your issue?
e.g. convert-ly -e C:\Documents and Settings\Frybyte\Desktop\Hamilton\
mytemplate.ly
Sorry for total ignorance.

Re: LilyPond is excessively slow on Windows Vista
The problem is that the problem is often hard to diagnose and reproduce without having the afflicted machine at hand. In general, my takeaway from it is that shipping software on top of Windows is a religious experience. You can never be sure that it works, so you have to pray a lot. Fwiw, one way to diagnose on an affected machine is to have process monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) running while performing the problematic operation. After that, it is just a matter of wading through a humongous amont of log messages :) /Simon ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: EasyLilyPond: A Tribute To LilyPond And LilyPondTool
Nice work! I have a few bug reports though - recommanded should be spelled recommended - the progress text area/scroll bar ( in the installer flickers (probably due to scrolling?) - EasyLauncher seem to be in french!?! (I do speak a little bit of french so I can just about use it, but I would have liked to have the english version, my normal locale is sv-FI if that matters) but overall, I'm impressed with the good work! regards, Simon 2007/12/23, Valentin Villenave [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hello everybody, Hi Bertalan, I just wanted to let you know about a recent project of mine: I called it EasyLilyPond, as it is meant for people who are not familiar with using computers and installing programs. A few weeks ago, Bertalan made the suggestion to regroup in a single bundle all that's needed to work with LilyPond and LilypondTool. He suggested using NSIS to put it all together; I noticed it and then stopped thinking about it. About a month ago, since my laptop went down again and I found myself forced to use an old 600 MHz Windows box, I started using msysGit and, just out of curiosity, downloaded the whole GUB sources. I discovered that the current LilyPond MinGW installer itself was written using NSIS; this made me realize that it would be great to take it as a base for an extended new LilyPond installation, that would not only install LilyPond but jEdit and LilyPondTool as well. After having spent a few weeks working on it, I feel like I have a made a first step. It is still very buggy, but here are a few ideas I had: - Installs LilyPond using the authentic GUB procedure (slightly updated); everything is preserved, the PATH integration, the use bundled python option etc. - Installs jEdit editor, absolutely unmodified, just like in a standard installation. LilyPondTool can also be installed, with a few additional configuration files and examples. The user can choose to use the bundled (1.6) Java Environment; if he chooses not to, the setup checks for a decent JRE available, and if there isn't, another choice is proposed: use the bundled JRE anyway, or download and install Java for real. - Installs Sumatra PDF reader, that is both lightweight and free as in freedom. LilyPondTool is preconfigured to use it. - Installs the EasyLauncher: a small application that is meant to give newbies an initial familiar feeling: a smooth transparent splash screen, a nice startup sound of piano music (the Free Software Song as recorded by Markus Haist, used with his permission). The Launcher provides an easy and quick way to launch LilyPondTool, open an examples folder, open the online Learning Manual, LSR, etc. - Installs (optionally) some skins: I have completely reskinned the jEdit interface, with transparent/blur effects, new splash screen and icons, customized colors and backgrounds to make it look a bit like the EasyLauncher. Those who do not like the green color, or my happy little note drawing, probably do not want to select this option :) - the whole thing (setup+Launcher) is fully localized (English/French only for now, but it's easy to add more languages). Besides, if a French user launches the application for the first time, he will see a translated version of the Congratulations etc. ly file (with French explanations, \include italiano.ly and so on). - there are currently three predefined installation types: Full, Standard, and LilyPond Only. - Finally, there's an option called Offshore installation that allows users to install EasyLilyPond on a USB drive, a bit like the PortableApps you may know. Unfortunately I'm having a pretty hard time trying to implement it, so hopefully this will be ready for a future version... That's about all. It is still a pre-pre-pre-alpha-beta-whatever version, plus it's the first time I code anything (besides LilyPond scores, of course). It was more about demonstrating some concepts than anything else. If you're interested in having a look at it, please visit the page on http://valentin.villenave.info/spip.php?article44 All suggestions are welcome -- and that includes the design ;-) Thank you very much, and a merry Christmas to all LilyPonders!

If you are on Windows, I created this syntax highlighter for the Context editor: www.context.cx Here is the highlighter plug in I created: http://forum.context.cx/index.php?topic=1396.0 First download/install Context editor, then download/copy the highlighter file to the appropriate directory, then whenever you open a ly file in context it will be highlighted, it also separates scheme code from lilypond code style-wise. I entered around 700 or so lilypond reserverd words in the highlighter and the sceme code appears with a gray background, it also matches opening/closing brackets, hilights comments differently, etc. and acceps unicode or ascii data. So long as you only need ASCII then it's probably ok, but last time I checked it did *not* support UTF-8 properly (even though it claims something along the lines of utf-8 awareness on the front page) so at least for me, it's pretty much useless.. YMMV of course.. my 0.02€ Simon ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Is Lilypond right for this need?
In step 1 I need to just provide lyrics for my vocalists, and lyricswith chord names for the musicians.So for example I would need the
Lilypond equivalent of:GD C D Over all the earth You reign onGhighthe problem with this, is that you somehow will need to tell Lilypond how to sync the lyrics with the cords. And for that I think that it might be easiest to just write down the melody and sync the lyrics to that just like the following snippet (uncomment either of the commented choices to get desired effect).
harmonies = \new ChordNames \chordmode { b2 f2 es2 f2/es % and so on ...}thelyrics = \lyricmode { O -- ver all the earth You reign on high % and so on ...}melody = \relative c' {
\key bes \major r4 d8 f a4 ~ a16 bes16 g8 ~ | g4 g f8. f16 ~ f8 f % and so on ...}\score { \harmonies % uncomment the following line for just chord sheet
%\new Devnull = melody \melody % uncomment the following line for melody sheet %\new Voice = melody \melody\new Lyrics \lyricsto melody \thelyrics
\layout { }}\paper {}I guess my questions is, is Lilypond geared toward formal music to
the extent that there is no easy way to use it for simple chordsheets until I become proficient enough to use it for melody lines?there might be simpler choices yes, but I don't have any names to give
hope this helps/Simon

Bruce, sorry to be rude but: Being forced to absolute backward compatibility sucks, and having to keep compatibility with e.g. 2.4 2.6 and 2.8 sucks even more, and makes the code base bloated, less maintainable and probably a lot of #ifdefs of what not that leads to more bugs.. Put it another way, you don't want to write your .ly files in such a way that you can use whatever lilypond version to compile them and get a perfect result. The developers most certainly does not want absolute backwards compatibility, and they even bother so much as to provide convert-ly to make the transition forward easier. Whose arguments do you thing weigh more? Most developers develop lilypond in their spare time just for the fun of it for all I know.. After all, this is free software, if you like, you can make your own compatible-with-everything-even-all-the-bugs fork project.. /S On 7/10/06, Fairchild [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Erik - Thanks for contributing to this thread. It is attempting to deal with an important unresolved issue: seamless evolutionary transitioning of ly files. Your suggested solution requires n versions residing entirely in the user's machine, which would, as you point out, increase resident code by a factor of n. The code switching option requires parallel code only for features that are interpreted differently for different versions, only marginally increasing the size of the newer versions - far less size, and hassle, than retaining several versions. Marginally increasing the single package size is not a concern. Through the generations, memory and speed have increased to accommodate applications - or maybe the other way around. The first computer I used had 2000 bi-quinary ten-digit words on a drum. Long-term memory was punched cards. It was a fantastic improvement over its predecessor, the Card Programmed Calculator. Increasing processing time is a consideration, but testing a flag to select from version-specific code segments would be barely measurable. - Bruce -Original Message- From: Erik Sandberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 3:12 AM To: Fairchild Cc: lilypond-user@gnu.org Subject: Re: Evolutionary User Strategery On 7/9/06, Fairchild [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: New scores could use new features and not have to work around the bugs of earlier versions. Older scores that have been carefully tuned, compensating for earlier bugs, would continue to produce the intended result without having to be overhauled. There would be no need to maintain multiple versions. This basically implies that all old versions of lily must be included in the new versions, so e.g. lilypond 2.10 will contain both version 2.10, 2.8, 2.6 and 2.4. Which means that the lilypond package grows by a factor 4. I think a better solution would be that you create a script locally, which parses the input ly file, reads the \version statement, and picks which lilypond version to use to compile your ly file.

Re: chordnames vs lyrics problem
My best proposal is to typeset the ChordNames below thelyrics. When there is lyrics, you move the ChordNames up and the lyrics down (I would have used the extra-offsetproperty, but it seems that you have found another option).I found another option, yes, but it did not work (Y-offset that is)But thanks for steering me in the right direction, it seems changing Y-offset also affects surrounding grobs, while extra-offset just moves the one affected.(Looking again in the reference, the extra-offset seems obvious now: This offset is added just before outputting the symbol, so the typesetting engine is completely oblivious to it. but that Y-offset affects surrounding grobs is not obvious from the reference (for me at least) The vertical amount that this object is moved relative to its Y-parent)I now solved it by typesetting the ChordNames below the lyrics, andtweak the chord with\once \override ChordName #'extra-offset = #'(0 . 10)and tweaking each of the lyric verses with \override LyricText #'extra-offset = #'(0 . -4)and after that I get the output I want (see attachment) I mention this in the event it benefits another user..regards,Simon Simon Dahlbacka wrote: I'm trying to typeset a SATB piece, with chords for piano The problem: the sopranos partially have their own lyrics (three verses, so it takes a lot of room) If I put the ChordNames above the lyrics, the placement of the chords looks rather stupid where the sopranos sing the same as the rest, I tried putting the cords under the lyrics and tweak the cordnames up above the lyrics where necessary, but this also moves the lyrics up I tried putting the ChordNames under the lyrics, and moving up, but this was not successful. * I tried doing the moving with \once \override ChordNames.ChordName #'Y-offset = #6 and %\once \override ChordNames.ChordName #'Y-offset = #-6 respectively Attached2, and chords above with tweak, and chords below with tweak What I would like: I want the chordnamesunder where there are no special soprano lyrics, but over the special soprano lyrics.

combining stems
I'm (a relative newbie) trying to typeset a choir-type piece, where I'd have SAT on one staff, *with* combined stems,Now, I realize that I can do it by adding everything as chords, but this does not feel natural to me, and I'd like to keep the different voices separate in the input file if at all possible,
I tried to set them as different voices, and overriden stem direction to be \stemUp, which is not ideal but better than S-up A-down T-up. This works, sort of, as long as the duration is quarternotes or longer (and ignoring the fact that I get a sh*tload of warnings), the beams do not combine, rendering things seen in attached screenshot,
(fromsopranThree = \relative c' { d8 e16 f ~ f8 g16 e ~ e8 d16 c r8 c16 d ~ | d8 e16 f ~ f8 g16 a ~ a4 ~ a8 d16 d16 ~ | \key g \major d1 |}altThree = \relative c' { b8 c16 d ~ d8 d16 c\( ~ c8 a16 g\) r8 g16 b ~ |

indicate where melody continues
Hi,I'm trying to create a sheet where there are at times two voices (but mostly one) on one staff and occasionally it is not obvious which one is the melody and which is the second voice, so I'd like to have some kind of indication where the melody continues, (like an arrow or glissando-ish line or something similar)
I have essentially the followingmelody = \relative c' {c d g b % let's say I want an indication here between d and g}second = \relative c' {e f e f}and \score {\context Staff = full
\context Voice = melody {\melody\second}}I tried using a \glissando (and it would have been good enough if it only worked), but inevitably the line went from the d in the melody to the e in the second voice :( , and the same problem also with phrasing slurs.
Now, this is more or less the first song I'm typesetting so I'm a newbie, so hopefully there is something simple I've overlooked. In that case I'd appreciate a pointer to where to start to RTFM ;)regards,
