denoting division when voices separate

2006-04-24 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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

2006-04-18 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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.


Thanks again for any help,

Sterling MacNay

one line - two voices + 2 sets of lyrics

2006-04-17 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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

make key signature invisible?

2005-11-15 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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

2005-11-06 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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 -

piano staff dynamics and template found in docs.

2005-11-06 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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.  I
guess I need some clarification as to what this second \score block is
for.

Thanks for any simple explanation so I can get my head around the format
of this coding.

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

2005-06-28 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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.

adding staves to a piano part...

2005-06-26 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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?

default fonts problem solved

2005-06-19 Thread Sterling Sympatico
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.

power of latex to set margins and such, this looks like the easiest
route.  Any suggestions?

Yours,

changing default font

2005-06-17 Thread Sterling Sympatico
Hi again,

My default font for titles and any markup is some sort of typewriter
with very poor kerning.  How does one change this to something like a
bookman or some other font installed on my computer.  I am running a
linux system.  All the example files I see don't specify a font but the
output is lovely.  Thanks in advance.

Re: ossia and adding a label

2005-06-13 Thread Sterling Sympatico
Hi,

I have figured out how to set up my two-part choral score to include an
ostinato line in the middle for a few bars.  This is a percussive piece
(no melody).

I set:

Ostinato = \drummode {
 \repeat unfold 4 {some percussion}
 }

groupOne = \drummode {
 \override Score.BarNumber #'padding = #2 
 \set Staff.instrument =  Group One 
 bd sn etc..
 }

groupTwo = \drummode {
 \set Staff.instrument =  Group Two 
 bd sn etc..
 
{ sn bd r4 sn | etc... }
\context DrumStaff =
Ostinato  {  \global \Ostinato  }

bd sn more groupTwo stuff
}

\score { \context ChoirStaff 
   \context DrumStaff =
   groupOne {  \global \groupOne  }
   \context DrumStaff = 
   groupTwo {  \global \groupTwo  }
   
}


So, all works - I even padded my barnumbers up so they wouldn't clash
with the ChoirStaff.  I can't seem to get the Ostinato line to have
Ostinato appear before it as I had Group One and Group Two appear
before their repective staves.  Is this even possible?  I tried
inserting the appropriate command at different places in the cile but to
no avail.

Thanks in advance.

two drum staves put together

2005-06-12 Thread Sterling Sympatico
Hi,

I am putting together a choral work that is simply stomping and
clapping.  I have decided to use the /drummode environment and let
snaredrum = clap and bassdum = stomp.  All is well if I use the syntax:

\new DrumStaff 
 \drummode {
 bd4 r r r
 etc. 
 }


To put a second part in there would I:

\new DrumStaff 
 \drummode {
 bd4 r r r
 etc. 
 }

\new SrumStaff
 \drummode {
 r4 r sn4 r4
 etc.
 }



I would also like to label each stave as Group 1, Group 2, etc.  Let
me know if this is proper syntax

Also, can one add a stave (ostinato part) somewhere in the middle of a
score?  I don't want to add the ostinato from the beginning with 24 bars
rest.

Thanks for any help.

help with 2.4.5 in Debian

2005-06-07 Thread Sterling Sympatico
Hi,

I tried to install 2.4.6 in Debian using Ferenc Wagner's sources from
http://tac.ki.iif.hu/.  After having the default ec-fonts-mftraced crash
and downloading the nerwer version (.deb), I got an install.  However,
all attempts to run lilypond on the simplest file resulted in a
segmentation fault.  I tried using the smallest example from the
tutorial and compiling but got crashes.  So I reverted back to version
2.2.6-3 in the Debian Sarge repository and at least it works.  Is this a
common problem with Debian folks?

Also, I am trying to typeset a score choir.  The choir will be split
into 2, then 3, then back to 2 sections.  There are no sung notes, only
rhythmic clapping and stomping.  Some sort of drum mode would be ideal
for scoring but how do I use a mode like that in a piece with 2-3
stanzas?

I am using version 2.2.6-3 right now.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Sterling MacNay
