Re: lilypond errors on a guitar minor sixth chord
Thomas,
Got it. I used your first solution with the addendum. If at some point
in the future I need more chords, I will construct a more extensive file
for guitar chords. I did construct a fingering file for plectrum banjo a
while back. It's got 25 chords for each of 12 keys, but I don't have any
inversions.
Thanks for the clarification on the reply-all. I wasn't sure what to do.
Is there some place on the web were I can see other discussions?

Define it yourself, search the NR for 'storePredefinedDiagram'. Leading to:
\version "2.19.56"
\language "english"
\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {e-flat:m6}
#guitar-tuning

lilypond errors on a guitar minor sixth chord
I would seem that lilypond doesn't like minor sixth chords. All my guitar fretboards seem to be fine, but I get errors on all chords with a minor sixth. Here's some of the code: b-flat4 bf/f g4:dim/e e-flat:m6 Here's the corresponding error complaining about the "m6" warning: No string for pitch # (given frets (11 11 8)) b-flat4 bf/f g4:dim/e e-flat:m6 [8][16][24] If i remove the sixth and just make it an "e-flat:m", there's no error. I thought a minor sixth was pretty standard. Or am I misinterpreting the error? I have \include "predefined-guitar-fretboards.ly" at the top of the file... I'm using \version "2.19.49" Stan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

That worked Thomas. I used your next to last example because I'm not too

Hi group.
I'm trying to construct a certain volta ending where there is a first and
second ending, but the first ending does a D.S. to the sign, while the the
second ending is a multiple repeat for solos. I seem to have made it render
correctly, but I keep getting this error. Hopefully this is enough code:
warning: already have a volta spanner, ending that one prematurely

DSalCoda = {
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\mark \markup "D.S. al Coda"

\alternative {
{

Hi Stan,
(1) %%%
In general, the settings accepted in the argument-list for
repeatCommands may manually create repeats with or without alternative
endings.
Drawback: \unfoldRepeats doesn't work on those manual settings. See
the following example where simple repeats are done (manually and via
\repeat volta ...):
\unfoldRepeats
\relative {
c''1
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(start-repeat)
d4 e f g
\set Score.repeatCommands = #'(end-repeat)
c1
\repeat volta 2 { d,4 e f g }
}
(2) %%%
If you don't care about midi you could do the following.
Note that 'start-repeat would be used to begin a (new) repeated
section, but _not_ to start an alternative ending. Don't use it here.
\repeat volta 2 { c'1 }
\alternative {
{
d'1
}
{
\set Score.repeatCommands =
#(list
'end-repeat ;; print the ending repeat-bar
'(volta #f) ;; finish first volta
(list 'volta voltaSolos) ;; set text for second volta
)
e'
}
}
Though, in your example you don't want the closing repeat-bar, but \bar "||".
Hence 'end-repeat should be deleted and to ensure a closing first
VoltaBracket use \allowVoltaHook "||" at top-level.
Full example:
\allowVoltaHook "||"
DSalCoda = {
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\mark \markup "D.S. al Coda"
}
voltaSolos = \markup { "2, 3, 4 . . ." }
\repeat volta 2 {c4 c c c }
\alternative {
{
c4 c c c
\DSalCoda
\bar "||"
}
{
\set Score.repeatCommands = #(list '(volta #f) (list 'volta voltaSolos) )
c4 c c c
\bar ":|."
}
}
(3) %%%
If you need unfoldRepeats, an override may fit better:
\allowVoltaHook "||"
DSalCoda = {
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark.self-alignment-X = #RIGHT
\mark \markup "D.S. al Coda"
}
voltaSolos = \markup { "2, 3, 4 . . ." }
voltaTxt =
\once \override Score.VoltaBracket.before-line-breaking =
#(lambda (grob) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text voltaSolos))
%\unfoldRepeats
\repeat volta 2 {c4 c c c }
\alternative {
{
c4 c c c
\DSalCoda
\bar "||"
}
{
\voltaTxt
c4 c c c
\bar ":|."
}
}

Thanks for the help Andrew, but I had previously tried what you suggested,
and was not what I wanted.
There are two problems. Your example has that horizontal repeat line going
over all of the 32 measures of the solo section. That is excessive. I want
just the last measure of the 32 bars (the 32nd bar) to have the multi
repeat. Plus, the first measure of the solo section should have a repeat
sign. I don't know how to make those two adjustments.

it right.
Below is what I have so far. It's almost correct except that the repeat text
says "1." and "2." for the 1st repeat and last time repeat. Do I just
control text or is there a specific command to control this.

Nashville notation as chord symbols
I would like to use Nashville Notation for chord symbols using Arabic numbers instead of Roman numbers. Is there any way to do this? So in the key of C: C=1 D=2 E=3 F=4 G=5 A=6 B=7 So a blues progression might be: 1 4 5⁷ Instead of C F G⁷ So a B-flat7 chord in the key of C might be represented at either ♭7⁷ or 7♭⁷. I think there is a great deal of value with what might be called relative notation in this way. It is a hard system to learn, but once learned can make key transpositions much easier. For my projects I would like to write regular chord symbols, but above or below those symbols I would have the Nashville number thing.

Score content spilling off left side of page
For some reason a score I made won't fit all the text on the left side of the page. I cannot find anything different about this score than previous ones. The first page looks okay, but it's the subsequent pages with the instrument abbreviations that are getting cut off with no margin at all. I'm not using margin commands. Not using the \paper block. I can't really upload a snippet because it is too much data, but here's a screnshot: http://tradjazzbands.com//media/Screenshot%20from%202015-03-25%2016:19:01.png Stan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

How do I create vertical space between staff lines
I have created a lead sheet with Intro, Chorus and Ending. It's all one continuous song, but I want to separate with white space the staves of the Intro from the Chorus, and I want to separate the Chorus from the Ending. So I would end up with three distinct sections. I'm doing this so that players who are improvising can more easily see where these sections begin and end. So, instead of this: Intro Verse Chorus Ending I would end up with this: Intro Verse Chorus Ending I've searched, but can't seem to pull this together. How is this done?

Lilypond generates a chord from nowhere
I have a fretboard problem.
I have defined a new fretboard for a plectrum banjo. Everything is working
properly when I specify a chord, except when I specify a SLASH chord, i.e.,
a chord with a designation for the bass player. So for example, if I specify
a G half-diminished chord, all is well. But if I specify a G half-diminished
chord with a D-flat in the bass, I get a fretboard fingering I don't recognize.
Okay: g:m7.5-
Not okay: g:m7.5-/dflat
Basically, I think the chord in both instances (with or without the slash
notes) should be exactly the same fingerings. How can I correct this?
Here's an example below:
\version 2.19.15
\include english.ly
%% tunings for 4-string banjo
\makeDefaultStringTuning #'plectrumTuning \stringTuning c g b d'
\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {c}
#plectrumTuning #o;o;1;2; % C
\storePredefinedDiagram #default-fret-table \chordmode {g:m7.5-}
#plectrumTuning #5;3;2;5; % Gø
chordNames = \chordmode {
c1 g:m7.5- g:m7.5-/dflat
}
melody = \relative c'' {
c1 c c
}
\score {
\new ChordNames \chordNames
\new FretBoards \chordNames {
\set Staff.stringTunings = #plectrumTuning
\override
FretBoard.fret-diagram-details.finger-code = #'in-dot

Create one png image per pageBreak?
I would like to specify a fretboard guitar chord and then create a png image
of just that chord alone (fretboard with fingerings and chord name above
it). But I would like to do this for all the chords and have a separate
image for each chord.
If this can be automated, that would be great. It seems that a \pageBreak
might create separate images, but it only create separate pages when the
page is filled up. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm doing this for a
friend who would like to have an image for each individual guitar symbol, so
he can arrange chords in MSWord. In the short run this might be a good way
for him to work with chords. In the long run he should learn Lilypond, but
that is for the future!
Or maybe this can be done with the \book{} command?
I would appreciate some suggestions/examples here.

Re: Create one png image per pageBreak?
How about compiling your code with
lilypond -dpreview -dresolution=200 your-file.ly
?
(or whatever resolution is apropiate)
Oh wow! That -dpreview trims the file nicely. I was prepared to use
ImageMagik's convert program to trim the whitespace thusly, convert -trim
filename.png outfile.png -- but now I don't have to do that.
I guess the question is, since I've got to construct a lot of repetitive
lines of code for each chord, am I doing this in the most efficient manner?
This would be great for a for-loop kind of thing. Do you see any way to
simplify or automate my code? Maybe with macros, or something else?

I am not a fretted string player, but I am arranging music for a dixieland
band I play in. I would like to add fret diagrams for the plectrum banjo
player. I think I could do it if it were a guitar part, but plectrum banjo

like help creating a file I can include to achieve this in my various

Re: Trying to creating a plectrum banjo fretboard
FWIW, I made some progress on my own defining a plectrum banjo chord file
definition. I copied predefined-mandolin-fretboards.ly and named it
predefined-plectrum-banjo-fredboards.ly. The file is incomplete, but lilsted
below. All chords are not accounted for, just the ones in my current project.
I found it strange that when I defined a chord like a G half-diminished and
added a different bass note with the slash notation, lilypond treated it as
a completely different chord from the regular G half-diminished without the
bass note. So I had to define it three times:

Chord substitution mystery
I was using a chord substitution scheme submitted here by Kieren MacMillan. It
works well and I enhanced it for augmented chords. However, I'm trying to
display a plus sign as the augmented symbol and in the case of the C augmented7
chord it displays C7/#5 instead of C+7. Whereas the C aug 9 is fine, showing
C+9:

Re: Adding notes above drumstaff
As a drummer I've struggled to find a way to write drum kicks as well. Another term may be rhythmic cues. This technique can be seen in almost all the drum parts of modern stage band music. Just clarify this further for others, the technique is to have a single line of small notes above the drum staff (on the G or A line in treble clef) that indicate rhythms the horn section is playing. It's an optional cue for the drummer to ad lib something that emphasizes what the horns are playing to give it a kick. This document (http://learningcenter.berklee.edu/downloads/handouts/finaleDrumNotation.pdf) says the following: Kicks Over Time If you want the band to accent a certain rhythm, are not concerned with which specific drums are played, and want the groovetocontinue without going into stop time, you can add the rhythm on top of slash notation. This page (http://www.jazzuk.demon.co.uk/html/nestico.html) shows the following: Cues on the drum part are to let your drummer know what is going on in the orchestra...he needn't try to catch every nuance. I'm having trouble finding a graphics example online.

countPercentRepeats = ##t
Regarding: \set countPercentRepeats = ##t Is it also possible to set the repeat number, the number above the percent repeat sign? Modern stage band pieces I come across tend to number according to the phrasing. For example, if one has a 16 bar phrase starting with four bars of notes then a repeating section, one would see the notes to be repeated in bar 5 but then bars 6-16 would be numbered 6 through 16 as well. As a percussionist/drummer it drives me crazy to count a 4, 8 or 16 bar phrase on odd numbers. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Make an invisible measure?
In my last measure before the CODA I have a DS al Coda. Immediately after this is the CODA. The problem is lilypond says there are two simultaneous marks here. So I inserted a skip measure s1 just before the CODA section. This works, but now I've got a small empty measure. IS there a better way to do this or can I make that empty measure invisible? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

constructing a jazz piece
In constructing a small combo piece, I'm not sure how to modularize individual parts. For example, notes are specific to a certain instrument whereas a segno or coda is common to all parts. I'm confused as to where these things get inserted. For example, Do I put the coda symbol in each of the trumpet, trombone and clarinet parts or do I do keep each individual part as simple as possible and add the coda instructions at a higher level? And then when each individual part is printed out the codas and segnos are all there. I hope that makes sense. Is there an example somewhere?

Two questions: slashes and rhythmic cues
I've read the archives and see people discussing this but not sure anything was decided. I'm writing a jazz lead sheet and need slashes with chords over them. It's the slashes that I'm having a problem with. I found that I could use the following: \override NoteHead #'style = #'slash \override Stem #'transparent = ##t g4 g g g g g g g But when the parts are transposed the slashes move all over the place for the Bb and Eb instruments. Is there are way to keep the slash exactly on a certain note and ignore the transposition? Also, that symbol should not be a playable one. Is there a way to differentiate it from a repeat slash marking so as to not have it play in the midi output? The second question regards rhythmic cues, smallish notes that would appear in or above the staff indicating rhythmic hits or kicks, but again this would only indicate rhythm and not be a playable note in midi output. It should also not be transposable. Stan ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Stem lengths in 2.8.1
Thanks Mats. Below is what I ended up with. It's a simple ly file that
generates headless stems for rhythmic studies. Students take a known
song and fill in the noteheads to help learn rhythm, especially
syncopation. I've made a few more like this dealing with sixteenth notes
and triplets. This one is for eighth notes and works for swing rhythms
as well. I like the beam a bit higher as it helps to differentiate the
beam from the staff.
