Re: Trying to control chord symbols
Ed Ardzinski ed_ardzinski at hotmail.com writes: LP's default name for d:13 is 9 add 13. Thinking about it, it IS a logical name, just not what I've been taught and learned about music theory here in the USA. Perhaps European convention uses that nomenclature? -- a1:13^9.7 d1:9^7 gives A add13 and D add9 the ^ symbol excludes the the 9th and 7th in the first e.g. the ^ symbol excludes just the 7th in the second. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Suggestion for producing archival scores
I just tried something out which may fill this requirement as discussed recently. It presently involves using additional software to Lilypond. The PDF specification allows for file attachments within PDF files from version 1.3 onwards. The original .ly file can be attached within the LP pdf output, and extracted later if required. The PDF toolkit (google PDFTK) command line utility is one way to add the .ly file to the pdf. I do this on Mac OSX in the Terminal by entering on one line.. /usr/local/bin/pdftk tchavolo_swing_chords.pdf attach_files tchavolo_swing_chords.ly output attached.pdf The attachment can then be viewed or saved from 'attached.pdf' in Acrobat Reader using View-Navigation Panels-Attachments The attachment does not appear in normal viewing or printing of the pdf score. If worthwhile, it should be possible to make a Lily option somehow to do the attaching (with a bit of development). Any suggestions for making it clear the file contains a score attachment? e.g. different file extension?

Hi Giordano,
I routinely do this.. I put

\ChordNames
\override ChordName #'font-size = #2 % add +2
\override ChordName #'font-family = #'roman
}
inside the layout{}

Re: Extending a slur back from end of repeat
Mats Bengtsson mats.bengtsson at ee.kth.se writes:
One solution is to add a slur to an invisible note. You can use scaled note
durations to avoid changing the rhythm, see the following example.
\version 2.10.0
\relative c' \repeat volta 2 { c d e f }
\alternative{{ g f e d4*1/2 ( \hideNotes b4*1/2 ) \unHideNotes } { g a
g e }}
thanks Mats,
and
\version 2.10.0
\relative c' \repeat volta 2 {
\hideNotes c4*1/2 ( \unHideNotes c4*1/2 ) d e f }
\alternative{{ g f e d4*1/2 ( \hideNotes b4*1/2 ) \unHideNotes } { g a
g e }}
draws the remainder of the slur back at the beginning of the block!

Extending a slur back from end of repeat
Does anyone have a suggestion for making a slur which returns from notes at the end of a repeat back to notes at the beginning of the repeat? The ends should look like a slur which spans a line break, i.e. the start of the slur ends at the double bar lines, the end of the slur comes in at the beginning of the repeat block. I tried changing x-extent and extend-x-extent of a local slur to achieve the desired appearance, but to no avail.. thanks, Steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Help please: Grace note slur to chord
I am having the following problem - any suggestions would be
appreciated
I cannot make a slur from the E grace note at the start of the
second bar go to the F#, it goes to the A in all the four
examples I tried below. As you can see, I have tried to think
laterally, but without success so far...
melody = {
\time 3/4 \key a \major \clef treble
\stemDown
a' e''8[ b' e''] cis'' e''[ a' e''] a' fis''[
a' a''] \bar | \acciaccatura e'' a' fis''4 a' fis''8[
a' g''] a' fis''([ a' e'')] \bar | \break a' e''8[
b' e''] cis'' e''[ a' e''] a' fis''[ a' a'']
\bar | \acciaccatura e'' fis'' a'4 a' fis''8[ a' g'']
a' fis''([ a' e'')] \bar | \break
% (s64 to force the phrases onto the same staff)
s64 {a'8[ b'] cis''[ a'] a'[ a']} {e''8 e'' e'' e''
fis''a''} \bar | {\grace e''( fis''4) fis''8 g'' fis''
e''} { a'4 a'8[ a'] a'([ a')]} \bar | \break s64 {a'8[
b' ] cis''[ a'] a'[ a']} {e''8 e'' e'' e'' fis''a''} \bar
| {\acciaccatura e'' fis''4 fis''8 g'' fis'' e''} { a'4
a'8[ a'] a'([ a')]} \bar | }

Re: The best way to create a songbook?
Dominic Neumann mail at dominicneumann.de writes: Hi,I´m quite new to lilypond but I´m already fascinated. I want to layout a whole songbook with about 200 songs. Until now I worked with Sibelius and now I´m thinking of typesetting that songbook with lilypond. But there are some things to consider and I hop e you can help me a bit: 1) Should I only work with lilypond or better mit LaTeX and lilypond-book (I already work with LaTeX)? There are not many texts to add to the songbook.I want to have a song number next to each song (on the top outer corner of the page). 2) If I do it without LaTeX, only using lilypond: I think it would be a good way to have one file for each song in the songbook. But there are other problems: The identifiers I use for verselyrics or harmonies have to be unique project-wide, don´t they? In that case I could try to do it without identifiers - that wouldn´t be a big problem.At first, these are my question - I think, later there´ll be more ...Thankstabster ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user at gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user Hi Dominic, I am working on a book of tunes using LaTeX and Lilypond-book. It is very handy having all the features like table of contents, fancy headers etc. Adding a large number of tunes at once is slow, as there is a limit on how many new lilypond fragments will be rendered in one go. regards, Stephen ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
