denoting division when voices separate
Hi, Is it possible to add a div marking when a soprano line temprorarily divides into two parts? I am writing the soprano part as one music block with the brief voiceOne voiceTwo layering when division occurs. Thanks in advance.

soprano line with splitting voices and different lyrics
Hi again, I am trying to do the following for a soprano line that splits (div) 2x and the second division has each part singing different lyrics with different melisma. I wonder if the following setup will work as I have yet to have success: sopOneMusic \context Voice = sopranoOne { s1*14 one or two notes at the second division with silence filling all bars on either side s*14 } sopOneWords \lyricmode { words at the second division - really only one vowel held for a few beats } sopTwoMusic \context Voice = sopranoTwo { all unison and second soprano parts including both soprano parts at first division } sopTwoWords \lyricmode { all unison and second soprano words except for at the 2nd division } altoMusic etc... altoWords etc... --- other parts (five percussion and piano (two hands) --- \score { \context ChoirStaff \context Lyrics = sopranoOne \lyricsto sopranoOne \new Lyrics \sopOneWords \context Staff = soprano \context Voice = sopranoOne { \voiceOne \sopOneMusic } \context Voice = sopranoTwo { \set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f \set Staff.instrument = Soprano \set Staff.instr = Sop \voiceTwo \sopTwoMusic } \context Lyrics = sopranoTwo \lyricsto sopranoTwo \new Lyrics \sopTwoWords \context Voice = alto { \set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f \set Staff.instrument = Alto \set Staff.instr = Alt \altoMusic } \context Lyrics = alto \lyricsto alto \new Lyrics \altoWords --- percussion and piano here --- Everything prints out pretty well except that the sopOneWords, which I hoped would print above the staff very briefly (only for a few beats at the second div) don't show up. I am guessing that I am missing some syntax somewhere. Version 2.6.3 Debian testing here.

one line - two voices + 2 sets of lyrics
Hi, I am setting up a piece of music that has a soprano and alto line. I have figured out how to add lyrics to the alto line but realise that my soprano lyrics will be tricky. The soprano line is primarily one voice but at two locations, I need to split into two parts. I have accomplished this with the voiceOne and voiceTwo coding. However, I need to apply different lyrics to some of the voiceTwo (lower soprano) than the upper voiceOne soprano. I currently have all my melody set up in a block and lyrics in a block below and combine them with the \context Lyrics command down in the score settings. How would one accomplish this lyric problem? It seems I will also need to bump a few bits of soprano one above the stave OR could I treat the second soprano part as a second verse and just apply it in the \context Lyric area? Would it find a nested voiceTwo part? Thanks in advance, Sterling MacNay ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
make key signature invisible?
Hi folks, Can one make a key signature invisible? I have a piece that changes key a few times and has piano, two vocal, and five percussion lines. There is a lilypond bug with spacing first note after key signatures when some staffs do not use them (in this case the five percussion lines have no key sig and the piano and voice lines do). Instead of tweaking the lily grob settings, can I make the percussion lines regular Staff's with a key signature but hide the key sig? Just curious.

2.6.x and fonts with accents
Hi all, I just upgraded from 2.4.5 to 2.6.3 in Debian testing and converted my few meager scores. I noticed that (and expected) that the fonts would be handled differently but am not sure of how to put simple accents and such in titles and markup. I want a ~ over an n in the title - Habenera.

piano staff dynamics and template found in docs.
Hi, I am using 2.6.3 now and am looking over the template for putting dynamics in piano staff. I am a little confused about some of the blocks of info needed to do this. I understand: \upper = \lower = \dynamics = \score { \context PianoStaff \context Staff=upper \upper \context Dynamis=dynamics \dynamics \context Staff=lower \lower \layout { } but then there is another \score block that doesn't make sense to me.

Re: bug is spacing first note on stave
Mats, Thanks a lot. That was the issue. I just edited the define-grobs.scm file (which I found easier than trying to write the proper syntax in my .ly file as an \override) and it worked. I need to keep reading on how to put in these override commands and where to actually put them. Syntax is still a little odd for me but I am guessing that if I learn some basic scheme, it might be a benefit.

key signature and notes after - spacing
Hi, I think that the problem I am having with key signatures crowding my bar is that my piece starts in C# - , goes to C# + , then back to C# -. In the first C# - section, the spacing between key sig and notes is ok. In the C# + section, the spacing becomes crowded and remains so into the second C# - section. Could there be a default spacing setting at the beginning of the piece that doesn't get observed in the C#+ section. Then the spacing from the C#+ section gets used in the second C#- section? I don't know. Just thinking. Sterling ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

adding staves to a piano part...
Hi, Me again. I am enjoying the learning curve here and your help is making it a lot of fun. I have finished a piano accompaniment for a vocal ensemble. I have set up the file as such: \pianoRH notes (some second voice added) \pianoLH notes (some second voice added) piano = { \context PianoStaff \set PianoStaff.instrument = #Piano \context Staff = upper \PianoRH \context Staff = lower \PianoLH } \score { \context PianoStaff = piano { \piano } \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext } \context { \Score \override BarNumber #'padding = #3 \override RehearsalMark #'padding = #2 } } % \midi { %\tempo 4 = 75 %} } The output is brilliant. Now I wish to add 7 staves (5 or 6 percussion and 1 vocal). Seems I am having troubles doing it as such: drums = { \drummode notes } drums2 = { \drummode notes } etc. and then adding the drums in the \score section with '\new DrumStaff' commands. Am I going about this in a correct manor? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

default fonts problem solved
Hi everyone, I was having problems with my fonts in lilypond 2.4.5. If I created a file (.ly) and ran lilypond file.ly, the resulting .dvi file looked great. The title and all text was a nice font. When I tried using xpdf and gv to view the pdf and ps files that were also created, the fonts looked like some typewriter font with poor kerning. However... If I run 'dvips file.dvi' I get a beautiful output in .ps. To get the same output in pdf, I need to run ps2pdf (dvipdfm does not seem to translate all the note stems and such - there is probably a method for calling the correct font file but I am not too concerned right now). The same goes for lilypond-book... I need to run the dvips command without the -u+ec-mftrace.map option to get the correct results. This may be a bug or some documentation that is incorrect with my current version of lilypond.
