Tangled up in Lilypond syntax
I'm setting a fairly short song. It's sixteen measures, in the
standard four voice parts. I used Frescobaldi to set up the basic
structure, so the syntax I'm using comes from modifying what it put
out.
What causes the grief is that the last measure in the soprano part is
polyphonic (or polyrythmic). That necessitated a second soprano voice,
which skips the first 15 measures and has three notes in the last
measure.
Lower down, Frescobaldi generates this language:
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Soprano"
midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
} { \sopranoVoice }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
\addlyrics { \verseTwo }
Since I now had two soprano voices, I did:
sopranoVoicePart = \new Staff \with {
instrumentName = "Soprano"
midiInstrument = "choir aahs"
} { << \sopranoVoice \sopranoVoiceTwo >> }
\addlyrics { \verseOne }
\addlyrics { \verseTwo }
which results in several error messages like this:
programing error: No spring between column 0 and next one
Makes no sense to me. It does create a PDF, but its all jumbled with
titles, staffs and notes printed on top of each other. And no words
for the soprano part at all.
I'm not an expert in Lilypond syntax, so I'm at a standstill. What do
I need to do to make this work?
Thanks

Frescobaldi
I've been enjoying using Frescobaldi for creating Lilypond scores, it makes many things much easier. I've been setting vocal pieces with German lyrics, and trying to use Tools| Special Characters to find things like a and u with Umlauts, and the double-s character that looks like a Beta. I find it *extremely* difficult to find anything in those tables. I finally found upper and lower case U with dieresis, which seems to be the same as an Umlaut. But every time I need it, it takes me forever to find it. I can find no trace of the double-s character. Any clues on how I can find what I'm looking for? -- Tim Slattery tim risingdove com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Gaps in lyrics
I'm setting a song with two verses. It's a madrigal, so there are fairly long stretches of "fa la la..." that are identical in the two verses. I'd like to have them "fa la la" part printed only once. So...I've set verse one with all the words, including "fa la la". That's fine. I'd like to have verse two show only the different words, and leave a space where the "fa la la" is. But I can't figure out how to tell Lily to not match word to the stretch of notes that correspond to the "fa la la" for the second verse. It looks like I could use \skip ... but I'd have to have one for each note to be skipped. Is there a way to tell Lilypond how many notes or measures to skip? -- Tim Slattery tim risingdove com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Dissapearing lyrics
I'm setting a pretty simple choral work. The Soprano and Tenor parts
begin with 12 measures where everybody is singing the same part. Then
there are four final measures where those parts divide.
This language makes everything turn out fine:
\new Voice = "tenor" { \global \tenMusicAll
<<
{\voiceOne \tenMusicOne }
\new Voice { \voiceTwo \tenMusicTwo }
>> }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tenor \TenorWords
(tenMusicAll, tenMusicOne and tenMusicTwo are previously defined music
strings, TenorWord are the previously defined lyrics. global is key
signature)
But if I do this simpler syntax, which is equivalent, according to the
docs:
\new Voice = "tenor" { \global \tenMusicAll
<<
\tenMusicOne \\ \tenMusicTwo
>> }
\new Lyrics \lyricsto tenor \TenorWords
The music renders just fine, but the lyrics disappear in the last four
divisi measures.
Why does the last bit of the lyrics not appear on the page?

I've been programming for over forty years, so I know something about it. Yes, you had to compile your C++ code to make a standalone program. If you made a standalone program with Scheme you'd probably have to do the same. Lilypond includes an interpreter for Scheme. Web browsers include interpreters for Javascript, so you don't have a separate compile step there. So called "scripting languages" like Perl, Ruby, Python, etc have to be run through their interpreters. That is, you can't just have the Perl program on your machine, you also have to have the Perl interpreter. Your compiled C++ program can be run on a computer that does not have a C++ compiler installed.

And so far I can't see them. The 'advantage" is that it seems to be the "official" scripting language for FSF apps, see http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/. As for why FSF chose a LISP variant for this ... I can't imagine. Nearly every programmer understands procedural languages, like C, Java, Javascript, Perl, Ruby, etc, etc. Very few (IMHO) understand LISP. Whatever language was chosen, you'd have to learn a good deal about Lilypond's internal structures to use it (those are quite well documented, by the way). Using a LISP variant just adds another layer of obscurity on top of that. I am overwhelmingly impressed by Lilypond, and blown away by its extensive scriptability.

A lot of the complexity is because the scripting language is Scheme, a
variant of LISP. Even for somebody like me, who has been writing

If it can't run in the command console of Win7 or Vista, you could set up a virtual machine and run DOS on that. Or you could use Dosbox (www.dosbox.com).

Can't get it to look like I want it to
I still can't get my output to look the way I want it to.Maybe Lilypond just doesn't do this. Traditional Sacred Harp music uses four dots, one between each line, for a repeat symbol. It looks just like what you get when you specify \bar":". The beginning of a repeat often starts in the middle of a measure, and I've gotten that effect by doing this (in a 6/8 song): | g2 \bar ":" r8 g8 | I don't know why it doesn't complain about the wrong number of beats in a measure, but it doesn't. The other end of the repeat is at the end of a measure, so it should like the \bar":" symbol immediately followed by a normal bar line. And that I cannot do. -- Tim Slattery slatter...@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

OK, I've switched to a more normal style (although I'd still like to
get the more traditional style). The input for the section is question
is:
\repeat volta 2 {c4 g8 g4 b8 |
c4 d8 e4 c8 | f4 d8 e4 c8 | b2 r8 e8 | c4 a8 g4 g8 | a4 f8 f4 d8 |
e4 c8 g'4 b,8 |} \alternative { {<> r8 g'8} {<>} }
I get the repeat at the beginning, just as it should be, and two
endings at the end, as it should be. But the second ending has a
second, empty measure. Why? And there's still an extra begin-repeat
bar after the 4th measure (b2 r8 e8). I cannot see any reason whatever
for that to appear.

Repeat in the middle of a measure
I'm setting a song in Sacred Harp style, kind of a 19th century style.
I know about the \sacredHarpHeads directive, that works beautifully.
This piece, as many songs in this style, has a chorus that begins in
the middle of a measure. The song is in 6/8, the soprano part (for
example ) has a measure that should read c'2 repeat-symbol r8 g8. The
repeat goes to the end of the piece.
I've tried putting \repeat \volta 1{ in that spot and } at the end of
the piece. I get a thick bar line with a colon, and the corresponding
end repeat sign at the end of the piece. OK, but then there's another
begin-repeat symbol 4 measures after the one I specified and 4
measures before the end of the piece. Where did that come from?
Another question: I would like to have the repeat symbol be just four
dots vertically, one between each staff line. That's traditional for
this type of music. Looking through the manual, I don't see a way to
do that.

Last weekend I was entering a song into Lilypond. It's four parts, SATB, and has two verses. The verses scan very slightly differently. There is a measure in the music where there are two slurred halfnotes. In one verse, one syllable is stretched over both half-notes. The other verse has an extra syllable, so there's a separate syllable for each halfnote. Lilypond's ability to match lyrics with music is absolutely fantastic, but it apparently doesn't handle this scenario. I wound up having one verse matched automatically, and assigning a duration to *every* syllable in the other verse. I'm wondering whether I missed something that would have let me say "do the automatic match, but in this measure do it this way". -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Otherwise I guess the fix is the same. I couldn't find either of these files anywhere on my machine. I unchecked the DST box and ran the program a couple of times. No change. So I downloaded and installed 2.11.64. The first time I ran it, there was the long wait again, though it was only about 30 seconds instead of the 50 seconds that 2.10.33 had been taking. The second time, no wait at all! -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I've been programming computers for over forty years.

Special characters (umlauts, accents, etc) in lyrics
I'm setting a song with German lyrics. Several places there are umlauts over a and u, and the German double-s character that looks like a Greek "beta". I found these things in Vista's CharacterMap, and pasted them into my input file. They showed just fine there. But when I ran I got hordes of messages about them. In the PDF output, there were blanks where these characters should have been. So how can I get Lilypond to use these characters? -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

On my Vista system, when I invoke Lilypond I get the GNU version notice, and then. it sits for almost 50 seconds, apparently doing NOTHING. Then it wakes up and processes the file. It's still usable, but it sure slows things down. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

For lots of examples, look at http://www.mutopiaproject.org/. All the sheet music there is done by Lilypond, and each one comes with the *.ly file that generated it. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: generating pdf and png but no ps
Sebastian Menge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hi > >How can I generate pdf and png but no ps? AFAIK, you can't. My understanding is that Lilypond generates the *.ps first, then converts that to *.pdf. You could write a script that invokes the program then deletes the *.ps file. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/slatteryt ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
