Re: scores in columns - vertical alignment
From the LilyPond essay I learned that LilyPond deliberately *avoids* lining up
the staff lines vertically to make the music look more like a hand engraved
manuscript . . .

how can I get the staff-lines vertically aligned?
Here's another padding hack:
\layout { line-width = 6.2\cm ragged-right = ##f }
centeredVAG = \with { \override VerticalAxisGroup #'Y-extent = #'(-8 . 8) }
\markup \fill-line \vcenter {
\column{
\score {
\new Staff \with { \centeredVAG }
{ c''' }
\layout { }
}
}
\column{ \score {
\new Staff \with { \centeredVAG }
{ a }
\layout { }
}
}
}

Re: Using #(define fonts) gives me an ill-looking feta font
Try changing the second number in the font tree parameter -- (/ myStaffSize 20) I have been using this parameter and find this fixed a similar problem I had. Can't remember why it had to be 20 but that's what worked for me.

See attached pngs (left side is without this construct) As you can see the 'church rests' don't touch the staff lines and the heads and stems are 'spindly'. I'd like to define the 3 font types instead of having to use overrides, but the 'myStaffSize' is something I just copied verbatim from the NR. I don't actually know what it does but I cannot just remove it as I get compile errors. My files use a #(set-global-staff-size 24) so I thought it might be related, but changing the value either in this global-staff-size or in the myStaffSize does nothing. Try removing (or commenting out) your global-staff-size setting. I think that the myStaffSize and the global-staff-size conflict with each other, even if they are set to the same value. -- David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: skip lyrics
The documentation says that the number of the skip is ignored in the lyrics
but still has to be there. I am glad to learn the \repeat unfold tip too
though. I have been typing '_' to space out areas in lyrics because it takes
too long to type the '\skip 8'.

Thank you. It works.
What 8 means on the \skip 8? I use 4 and I get the same result. The 120
notes are a mixture of eight- note, quarter-note, half-note and some
dotted-note.

2011/3/9 MING TSANG tsan...@rogers.com:
I have two verses for a score. The score has 30 measures (bars). However
only first 4 measures and last 4 measure have distinct two verses, the
middle sections lyrics of two verses are identical.
Right low I code verse 2 with lyrics for first 4 measure follow with 120
for the notes, then lyrics for the last 4 measures.
Question: Is it possible to code verse 2 simpler than 120 s? It seems
that \skip 8 only does for a note which means 120 \skip 8.
Use repeats, if I understood well this should work:
\repeat unfold 120 { \skip 8 }

Re: Last 2.13 releases and custom text fonts
Have had the same issue -- also using a Mac. Found that installing some fonts
directly in the System fonts folder fixed the problem -- but not always. Seems
to be pango related I think.

Subject: Last 2.13 releases and custom text fonts
Hello,
It seems that Lilypond from 2.13.47 has problem including some text fonts
(at least on my OS X installation).
Some fonts work (Courier Neue, for instance), other do not work (Courier, or
many others including Mididesign font like Sonora or Controla). I deleted
the lilypond font cache and the fontconfig cache, but nothing change. The
only way is going back to 2.13.46 release (no problem with that release).
Console gives me that message :
Sortie mise en page vers « test_font.ps »...ERROR: Unbound variable:
file-name
Here is a little example.
%
\header{title = test police}
\relative{
c' d e_\markup{Aa} f_\markup {
\override #'(font-name . Sonora)
{ Aa A A AThis text is in Vera Bold }
}
}
%
There was a problem with font handling with some of the 13.4x releases - have
you tried downloading the latest 13.51 release, which has some fixes for this?
