Arrow hack
Dear list,
I have been using Lilypond for many years, and have written a scheme function
to create a double ended arrow which I need for my notation (someone on this
list helped me with this some years ago.)
The code looks like this:
arrow = #(define-music-function (parser location arg1) ( pair?)
(make-music
'TextScriptEvent
'text
#{ \markup \line { \with-color #red \arrow-head #X #LEFT ##t
\with-color #red \draw-line #arg1 \with-color #red \arrow-head #X #RIGHT ##t }
#} ))
I would like to refine the code as the arrow ends don't connect properly with
the central line. Could someone on this list help me?
I've used the symbol repeatedly in my music and one of the players in the
ensemble which I'm writing for suggested this, so I'd like to do it if possible.
Thanks in advance,
Vivian.

Help debugging music function
Could someone with knowhow help me to debug this music function? I want a
function to create arrows in a Lilypond score:
arrow = #(define-music-function (parser location arg1 ) ( pair?)
#{
\markup { \line \draw-line #arg1 \arrow-head #X #RIGHT ##t }}
#})
When I process:
\version 2.16.0
\include header.ly
\score {
\new Staff {
c4_\arrow #'(10 . 0)
}
}
I get output:

Bugs in grace notes in 2.12.3
I'm struggling with bugs in grace notes in the latest stable release
(2.12.3) and wonder if anyone has mentioned this yet? I'm getting
incorrect stem attachment, incorrect durations and altered size. If no-
one has yet mentioned it, I'll prepare a bug report for bug-lilypond.
Also any suggestions as to how to solve this pro-tem?

Re: Lilypond SVG output in 2.12.1
I figured out what I'd done as I was going to sleep last night - funny how these things come to you! I'd failed to update the font file in .fonts so the files were still those of the last Lilypond release I was using - i.e. 2.10.33. Done this now, and it's working so no need for hexadecimal corrections. The original sed script still fixes the file. All the best, Vivian.

Lilypond SVG output in 2.12.1
A while ago, we got a sed script working to fix Lilypond svg output. Looking at the SVG output from 2.12.1 on OSX and using InkScape 0.45 all the grobs are incorrect. I don't have the problems mentioned by other users of missing bar lines, so I'll leave this issue. I investigated the svg file, and found that the unicode values of all grobs (a three digit, hexadecimal value) has been offset by 15. Thus a quarter-note NoteHead has a unicode value of 136 in Lilypond generated SVG, and this needs to be corrected to 127. A G-clef, which has a unicode value of 1a7 in Lilypond SVG needs to be corrected to 197. The previous corrections relating to font-names also need to be made - see thread http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/ 2007-09/msg00029.html (Lilypond incorrectly names Century Schoolbook and Emmentaler fonts.) I've had a look at making this correction using a sed script, but can't find anything in the documentation relating to the handling of hexadecimal numbers. Does anyone have any ideas, before I write a script manually correcting each grob? Does anyone know where the SVG output is generated and in what language? I might be able to fiddle with the source code too, as it seems to be quite a straightforward adjustment. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Re: RhythmicStaff - gray-scaling and getting rid of double heads for chords
Hi Anders,
I'm not sure about the colouring issue. Hoping someone else has some
ideas.
The doubled Noteheads come about because RhythmicStaff interprets
all pitches as the same. I don't know what effect you are wanting
exactly, but if you want a single staff line with Noteheads on either
side of it you could use a normal Staff and set #'line-count to #1
( the exact syntax for doing this is \override Staff.StaffSymbol
#'line-count = #1 ) You can put a percussion clef on this staff with
\clef percussion in which case the central pitch is c' .
I'm impressed by your Scheme function to set up the Context. Lilypond
also has a native syntax for altering contexts ( where you can,
indeed, add and remove engravers. ) See 9.2.6 Changing context
default settings and 9.2.4 Modifying context plug-ins in the manual.
You can find a complete list of Engravers in the Program Reference .
A simpler way to change staff size is:
#(set-global-staff-size value) which scales everything.
See:
11.2.1 Setting the staff size

Re: [Bulk] Re: Adding an extra staff
Hi Alistair, hi list,
I debugged this code in 2.10.33, but it should work in 2.11
I've never started Staff contexts on the fly - didn't even know it
was possible, but as you see it leads to unforeseen problems. In
Lilypond the brackets mean interpret these contexts
simultaneously. That was one of the problems with your code - that
by starting the Staff context within the other one, Lilypond got
confused about how to do this (I suppose it has something to do with
Context hierarchy, but I'm not a programmer, so don't ask me!)
Here is a debugged version of your code. You can enter any notes you
want in the three variable definitions above - staffOne, staffTwo,
staffThree . This is much cleaner than your code, where you had typed
the notes directly into the context.
By the way, the brace at the beginning of the PianoStaff isn't
printing - I think this has to do with you having a StaffGroup within
a PianoStaff - you could try removing it (it isn't really necessary)
and see if the brace prints then.
Hope this helps, and good luck using Lilypond.
All the best,
Vivian.

Re: graphics in scheme?
There are a couple of ways to get non-native graphics into Lilypond output. I don't use scheme drawing commands, although this might be a possibility. The \epsfile command (in a markup) is handy - you can create an .eps file in Inkscape and then use a macro to do normal alignment. If you need to add more extensive graphics you can create SVG output from Lilypond and then add the graphics in Inkscape (see various discussions on this list about getting bug- free SVG output from Lilypond.)

BTW, I could never fix the italic font in SVG output (I think the font file inside Lilypond is wrong - it seems to contain Cyrillic characters) so I installed Century Schoolbook Italic fonts separately and altered my .sed file to look like this: s/style=font-family:Schoolbook;font-style:L/style=font- family:Century Schoolbook L;font-style:Roman/g s/style=font-family:L;font-style:Italic/style=font- family:NewCenturySchlbk LT Std;font-style:italic/g s/feta-alphabet[0-9]+/Emmentaler/g s/font-family:L;font-style:Bold/font-family:Century Schoolbook L;font- style:Bold/g This solution has the advantage that it distinguishes between Roman, Italic and Bold font types.

Re: triplet bracket disappear
Hi all, I know two solutions to this problem. Tuplet brackets disappear when the spacing gets tight, and seems to be a Lilypond feature rather than a bug. The first solution is to manually increase the spacing between notes in a tuplet: \once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #0.7 or something like that - you may need to increase the 0.7. The second is an ugly hack, which prints the bracket under all circumstances but doesn't look particularly good: \once \override Score.TupletNumber #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) Because Lilypond uses the ratio between the TupletNumber X-extent and the TupletBracket X-extent to decide whether to print the TupletBracket, by setting the TupletNumber X-extent to ) you always get a bracket, but the bracket runs into the number. (I'm sure you gave that to me at some point, Mats.) I would agree that this is a problem that should be resolved, at least to give users the option of always having a bracket printed.

Re: pictures in score
It's also possible in Lilypond - just add the picture as an EPS markup.
The syntax is:
\markup { \epsfile #1 #1 #filename.eps }
Also see the documentation - 8.1.6 Overview of text markup commands.
If you have your image as a bitmap, Inkscape is a good piece of free
software which allows you to save as .eps
Hope this helps,

Re: SVG output sponsorship
Thanks for that suggestion. Do you know where I can get the gnome backend, or do I just need to download the earlier version of Lilypond? However, I think there is a more general issue here about graphical notation in scores. I'm using various bits of graphics in this piece which aren't natively supported by Lilypond. Although I could add them all as EPS markups, the amount of time I would spend adjusting the positions of them makes it a lot easier to do it this way. The SVG option seemed the best because I don't lose image quality by converting to a bitmap, and also because Inkscape is a good piece of software. If fixing the SVG output isn't an option, does anyone have experiences of how to do this? Thanks in advance, Vivian.

I seem to have fixed most (all?) of my font problems. I now have another problem, however. In order to submit one of LilyPond's SVGs to e.g. the Wikimedia Commons, it is necessary to convert all of its text into paths; that way, users need not have LilyPond's fonts in order to view the image correctly. Before converting text into paths in Inkscape, you must make sure that none of the text is contained within a group. Therefore, I started to process my file by selecting everything and issuing an Ungroup command. When I did so, the staff lines disappeared! Apparently every object in the file is in a one-element group. For some reason, ungrouping the staff lines made them disappear—they were still present, just not visible. I think there may be an Inkscape bug at play here too, since Select All couldn't find the lines, but on the LilyPond end... how can I get Lily to create a sane, usable SVG file? Any help is greatly appreciated here. There's another approach to the SVG output problem: You can take PDF or EPS output from lilypond, and try to turn it into SVG files. The postscript backend of lilypond is obviously more mature, and there exist converters from pdf/ps to svg. Free converters are a bit shaky, but for some lily versions I managed to convert .ly files into valid SVG via a chain of converters. Usually, you need to first expand fonts to curves using some ps2ps-like script, and then use pstoedit to convert to something that can be converted to svg. Unfortunately, most conversion tools are rather immature, so you will need some experimenting to make it work. IIRC, I managed to generate valid svg with this method for my master's thesis, using a lilypond version around 2.6. I don't remember the exact combination of commands that worked though. (I have vague memories that it may be good to start with pdf output and convert it back to eps) Here's a script that works for some subsets of ps (not lily's though), you can look at it for ideas: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Electronics/ Ps2svg.sh If you manage to find a fairly reliable path to convert the output of a recent lily version into wikipedia-usable SVGs, I'd be happy to know.

Yes, I'm quite unfamiliar with command-line tools, and I never really needed any.

Re: PDF Problem (SVG output)
I would second/ third a request to get the SVG output fixed. I'm trying to create SVG output at the moment. I've used all the help I could find in the manual and in previous threads, and still some symbols (in this case the TextScript font and normal text in a DynamicScript) are showing in the wrong font. I'm using Inkscape under OS X with Lilypond 2.10.20. I'm particularly confused why the TextScript font isn't right. I've tried setting the pango-font-tree manually, but that doesn't make any difference. FontBook is seeing the fonts I've specified, so it should just work, right? Thanks for any tips.

Center-aligning objects in Scheme
I posted a message to this list a few days ago about automatically center-aligning some text under a Hairpin object (for example molto or poco ) but haven't received any responses. Whilst I've found how to combine markups using combine-at-edge I can't find how to center-align one to the other (if indeed this is possible, which I would hope it is.)

extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a \mark)
Dear David,
In your case, the reason it didn't work was that you hadn't identified the
RehearsalMark correctly. If you look at the page for Mark-engraver it tells you:
Mark_engraver is part of contexts: Score
so unless you tell Lilypond to look in the Score context it isn't going to find
any objects named RehearsalMark.
Y-offset is documented as a property of RehearsalMark but doesn't seem
to really be so.
Y-offset is a user-settable property of Score.RehearsalMark - you could have
followed my second suggestion. I think the reason that it is reccomended to use
extra-offset is that extra-offset is by default set to #'(0 . 0) so that any
changes you make will be relative to the X- and Y- offset values that work most
of the time. If you decided that you wanted to adjust the default positions of
an object for the whole score, then I would suggest using these properties.
(Someone can correct me if I'm wrong!)
On another subject, I spent 20 minutes searching for why there is no padding
property for DynamicText before finding that the padding is controlled by the
DynamicLineSpanner . Could this be slightly more explicitly stated in the
documentation, maybe on the pages of the objects controlled by it?
Cheers,
Vivian.

Fw: extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a mark)
Dear Mats and others, I would suggest putting a note on the backend pages of the Program Reference. It seemed such a logical thing to just do \once \override DynamicText #'padding = #4 that I didn't even check if that was possible. (I then remembered that the last time I had tried this and it hadn't worked I had just used #'extra-offset.) Then I noticed it hadn't worked and started trying to work out why. When I looked at: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/DynamicText#DynamicText I noticed there wasn't a padding property listed (which seemed odd). After a search on the lilypond-user archives I found that the padding is controlled by the DynamicLineSpanner for DynamicText, Hairpin and DynamicTextSpanner objects. I would suggest putting a link on the DynamicText page to the DynamicLineSpanner page http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/DynamicLineSpanner#DynamicLineSpanner with a note to say that padding for DynamicText objects is controlled by the padding of the DynamicLineSpanner. On a seperate point, could you (or someone else) explain to me what the DynamicTextSpanner is? I've never used it, and can't find how to create one (unless this is the text option for Hairpins as documented.) Cheers, Vivian. - Original Message From: Mats Bengtsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Vivian Barty-Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Michael David Crawford [EMAIL PROTECTED]; lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Sunday, 18 February, 2007 8:10:37 PM Subject: Re: extra-offset instead of X/Y offset? (was Lowering a mark) I recommend you to primarily use the padding and staff-padding properties to adjust the vertical position of objects. Then, LilyPond will automatically take the new position of the object into account, for example when calculating the distance to the next stave. If you use extra-offset, the object will be moved after all other typesetting decisions have been made, i.e. nothing else will move (which sometimes is an advantage, but often not). Regarding the padding of dynamics, the DynamicLineSpanner object is mentioned under Commonly tweaked properties in the section on Dynamics. However, only in connection to the staff-padding property, not the padding property.

Dear Mats, I'm using 2.10.12 for Mac OSX. Please find attached .ly file and PDF (in case your Lilypond does something different.) The problem only occurs in tuplets where the first note is shorter than the second and with values of #'shortest-duration-space less than 1.1 (the TupletBracket doesn't print). I'll experiment with the minimum-length property you mention.

If you can make up a small example that illustrates the problem, it will be much easier to figure out a solution.

Re: Glissando notation?
Dear Robert, I've seen a number of glissando notations, generally depending on period and style of composition. I know the notation you want, though, and would suggest experimenting with the #'thickness property of the Glissando object (listed under line-interface) with #'style set to #'zigzag . You could also try playing with #'zigzag-width and #'zigzag-length (listed under the line-spanner-interface.) Hope this helps, Vivian. - Original Message From: Robert Kennedy [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: lilypond-user@gnu.org Sent: Wednesday, 31 January, 2007 6:39:10 AM Subject: Glissando notation? It seems in Lilypond (v2.10.14) the default notation for glissandos is a straight line. I've never seen that notation used for glissando before so I have no idea why it's the default, but that's OK because everything can be changed, right? So I tried \override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag, thinking it would give me the right thing. But it gives me a very thin, light zig-zag line -- yet another notation that I have never seen used for glissando. The most common, correct notation for glissando looks like a trill mark. It's a wavy line of varying thickness. A statement in the on-line reference documentation suggests that \override Glissando #'style = #'trill might help: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/line_002dspanner_002dinterface#line_002dspanner_002dinterface But unfortunately it doesn't work.

Re: TupletBracket behaviour
Dear Mats and other, As we would say in Dutch, dat valt mee - roughly translated as that could be worse!

In your example, you had forgotten to name the Voice context. Just
replace the
first line by
Voice = \new Voice = notes { c4 d8 d e4~ e }
and it seems to work as desired.
Another approach is to use the alignAboveContext property:
\score {
\new Staff = myStave \relative c'{
\Voice
}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = myStave } { \set associatedVoice
= notes \Words } % above
\new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = notes \Words } % below
}
Finally, I noticed that you didn't use the support for hyphens in
lyrics. Try
Words = \lyricmode { This4 does8 -- n't work4 __ }
to get a nicer result.

Two lyrics questions

I need to do this to indicate how a vowel is to be pronounced - e.g. (ch)il(d) . I've tried various things - using escape sequences as described in the manual, preceeding the bracket with a \ etc. but nothing gives me clean output (i.e. without other characters.) Is there a way of doing this? 2: Extenders. I'm not using /lyricsto or /addlyrics because the rhythms in my music are too complex. Instead I'm just entering all the lyrics with duration values and then printing them in a Lyrics context. How can I (or can I) add extenders manually? At the moment nothing I've tried has worked, and there is no mention of this in the manual or in the archives (as far as I can see.) Thanks in advance. Cheers, Vivian. ___ Try the all-new Yahoo!

I'm curious if the above/ below the associated voice has anything to do with it
- all my lyrics are printed above the staff. I can't logically see why this
would affect it, though.

I enter lyrics with duration values in a Lyrics context (without \lyricsto or
\addlyrics) and the extenders still work fine. Have you tried just entering
the lyric extenders as you would with \lyricsto or \addlyrics?
Lilypond will pick a voice to associate the lyrics with, but you can associate
the lyrics with any voice by doing \set associatedVoice = #name-of-voice
The extenders will conform to that voice (no \lyricsto or \addlyrics required).
You can switch the associatedVoice at
any time, or if you want to arbitrarily define the length of an extender, you
can do
\once \override LyricExtender #'minimum-length = #8.
This last trick I find to be necessary when the voice that needs the extender
is *below* the Lyrics context.
In that case \set associatedVoice does nothing to the LyricExtenders. I'm not
sure why.
Here's an example:
%%% Begin Example
\version 2.10
words = \lyricmode { la4 __ la \set associatedVoice = #bass la2 __
%But the extender won't be long enough unless you:
\once \override LyricExtender #'minimum-length = #33
la1 __ la8 la la }
\score { \context ChoirStaff
\context Staff = top {
\context Voice = tenor \relative c' { \clef G_8

}

Re: Sponsored feature request--cross-staff chords, ties
I have in the past got Lilypond to do what you describe. The cross-staff chords are documented in the manual, although I agree the mechanism for achieving this is a bit clumsy (extending the stem from one of the chords.) I could imagine that to allow something like your example (f c \change Staff = bass g d) could be a bit of a programming nightmare since the notes of the chord would have to be split between two Staff contexts, whereas they are a lower level object than the staves. This might mean that Lilypond had to create two partially hidden chords, but don't quote me - I'm not a programmer. That could lead to unexpected effects (for example with padding) and (I feel) is moving away from the transparency of the Lilypond programming system.Your other example (the one in the .gif file) is certainly possible, although it requires a bit of fiddling. My problem when I did it was that the tieWaitForNote property was only active on the Staff where the chord began. In order to get the notes on the second staff to be tied I had to create hidden, tied notes on the second staff. This was clumsy and produced a lot of error messages, but it did work. Maybe it would be possible to allow cross-staff ties in a situation like this, and then the current syntaax (I feel) would work. However, I'm not sure how simple that is - since ties are embedded two "levels" deeper, it would probably be even more of a nightmare than the first example.I feel a bit limited since I don't know Scheme (yet!) but would it be possible to write a macro which simplified the user-interface of the current structures, while leaving the transparency of the program intact so that those who want to fiddle with it can do so?Cheers,Vivian.- Original Message From: Steve D [EMAIL PROTECTED]To: lilypond-user@gnu.orgSent: Sunday, 20 August, 2006 5:09:26 PMSubject: Sponsored feature request--cross-staff chords, tiesI know that cross-staff beaming has been mentioned periodically on theLilyPond lists.It would be great, for the sake of piano and other polyphonic instrumentscores, for there to exist in LilyPond some mechanism that would allowfor chords to change staff, perhaps like single-note melodies alreadycan do (with \change Staff = staff-name), and which includes all of thetie functionality.For an example in piano music-- an arpeggiated chord played with bothhands across both staves, tied to a following chord that crosses thestaves. I recently wrote a piece in which there is a grace-notedescending arpeggio played with both hands (sequentially, first theright then the left), that crosses from the treble to the bass staff,and is tied to every note but the lowest note of the following chord(see attached GIF graphic).To do so required some "inventive" LilyPond code, hidden notes, etc.,and in this case, the chord following the cross-staff grace-notearpeggio was not itself a cross-staff chord. However, it would be great,if it can be implemented, for the following to exist in LilyPond:* chords that cross staves (perhaps like f c \change Staff = bass g d)* cross-staff chords that can be tied to cross-staff chords (using automatic and manual tie formatting)* cross-staff arpeggios that can be tied to cross-staff chords (with auto and manual tie formatting)* grace-note arpeggios that can be tied to cross-staff chords (with auto and manual tie formatting)I would be happy to sponsor such functionality.Best wishes,SteveStephen DoonanPortales, New Mexico UShttp://www.xscd.com/pub/-- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who hasendowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us toforgo their use.-Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)___lilypond-user mailing listlilypond-user@gnu.orghttp://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

These are simple signs which just look like a percussion stick (!) with either a solid or outlined head. These don't seem to exist in the Feta font, and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a simple workaround for getting them?

UTF-encoding error
I'm using Lilypond 2.8.3 on an Apple G3.When I try to open a file in Lilypond for processing it gives me the error message:Unexpected error:(UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb0 in position 1307: unexpected code byte)I'm editing the file in EMacs and then opening it from time to time in Lilypond and testing bits of it as I work. I'm not using any unusual characters and my Lilypond code (as far as I can see) is fine. What is going on?! Other files open normally.Many thanks,Vivian.___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
\tieWaitForNote in \grace music
I'm using 2.8.3 for Mac OSXI see from the archives this has already been discussed, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem.I need a cross-staff grace arpeggio with all the notes tied to the chord which follows. If I instantiate new voices then the slurs do not connect. However, I need to either use a \new Voice or put some of the notes in another line (which also doesn't work.)Any suggestions?Thanks,Vivian.%% This doesn't work.\grace{\set tieWaitForNote = ##t\stemDown \tieUp f'''16~[ \tieDown e~ b~ \change Staff = "lh" \stemUp \tieUp bes,,,~ \tieDown d,~]}\new Voice {\tieNeutral bes' d,4}\new Voice { \change Staff = "rh" f e b4~ f e b~ f e b16}%% This works

#(make-dynamic-script)
In the manual for version 2.8.0 it says that it is possible to make new dynamic marks. I've tried this and it works. What I would really like to do, though, is make a dynamic mark that included normal text (specifically "sub p" or "sub f")At the moment I do this by putting in a _\markup line, and then using \once \override TextScript #'extra-offset to align the dynamic mark with the note (instead of the "sub")It would save time to just be able to write c4\subp or something similar. Can I do this?Many thanks,Vivian. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Lilypond engine getting stuck...
I'm using version 2.8.3I've run into a problem with Lilypond getting "stuck" on a file. The score uses relatively complex rhythms combined with text, and I gave up on trying to use \lyricsto - there were just too many melismata that I had to override etc. Instead I've just inserted all the rhythmic values into the \lyrics context (including many tuplets - it gives me a warning message for each one "no-one to print a tuplet start bracket" but up until now seemed to work normally.) I've been checking the file as I went along, and it worked fine. Now it always gets stuck at the same point, and I really can't see what is wrong with it. It doesn't give me an error message, it just keeps running indefinitely. Is this a known bug in the program, and if so is there a newer version I can install to fix the problem? I've attached the file. If someone could take the time to try running it on your system, I'd be really grateful.Many thanks,Vivian.

update syntax in 2.8
I'm finally getting round to updating to 2.8 (from 2.6.5) on Mac OSX and am trying to use the "Update syntax" command (which I understand is the same as invoking convert-ly on other platforms.) I get the error message (OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory)What does this mean, and how can I get round this problem?Many thanks,Vivian.___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Tritone anomaly
I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, or been bothered by it, but there's a slightly irritating anomaly when entering the interval of a tritone (augmented fourth.) When in \relative mode and using the interval in a melodic line, LilyPond assumes that the tritone goes down. However, when using it in a chord LilyPond assumes it goes up! Could this be standardized?! Much as I like idiosynchrasies when it comes to art, when it comes to logical processes I feel things ought to work in the same way! Also, I keep on getting it wrong and having to re-process my scores to fix bits where the octave is out. I haven't found any mention of this in the documentation, incidentally (although it may be there - I haven't looked that carefully.) Cheers, Vivian.

Error message
I'm using 2.6.1 I'm getting an odd error message. The file appears to parse and process correctly. Then after Lilypond has computed the line and page breaks I get the messages ERROR: In procedure ly_scm2double: ERROR: Wrong type argument: (-8) The file then appears not to have written to the PDF (I get the previous version I saved without the new changes.)

Repeat question - cross staff slur
I posted this question some time ago but haven't had any responses as yet - maybe it didn't get through. I want a cross-staff slur within a PianoStaff context. I've tried putting all the notes into one voice and then putting the \change Staff command within the voice context. The start of the slur is not anywhere near the first note, though, and I can't decipher the documentation to work out how to manually move this point. Could somebody help? Many thanks, Vivian, Netherlands. My new website - www.vivbt.tk ___ NEW Yahoo!

Cross-staff slur
I'm trying to get a cross-staff slur within a
PianoStaff. I didn't find any easy ways of doing this
in the manual (I'm still using 2.6.5) and so have
tried to fudge it by putting all the notes I need
slurred in one voice and then putting the \change
Staff command within the Voice context.
My problem then is that there is a big space between
the beginning of the slur and the notehead. I've tried
altering properties of the Slur grob including
#'height-limit and #'ratio but I can't get what I
want. Any suggestions?
The code I've got looks like this:
\override Slur #'height-limit = #10 % just to test
\override Slur #'ratio = #0.8 % sharp initial incline
\new Voice {r16 \stemDown g([ aes] \change Staff =
upper f''[ e])}
\stemNeutral
\new Voice {s8. r8 r8. g,,16}
Many thanks,
Vivian.

\override Score.SpacingSpanner
I'm trying to adjust spacing to allow a glissando line to be seen more obviously. I want to adjust the spacing rule but only for the bar with the glissando. I've tried to construct an \override that looks like this: \time 3/4 f16 r f r f r8. r16 f r8 \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment = #3.0 \time 2/4 r16 e8.\glissando f16 r f r r f8. r16 f r f \revert Score.SpacingSpanner #'spacing-increment This doesn't seem to have any effect, and I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Difficult tweaks - not working!
I'm having trouble with the example described
in the difficult tweaks section of the manual.
I'm wanting a stem with two different noteheads
on it. I started by copying the code from the manual
(correcting the 'curly' ' symbols this time!) then
changed various parameters. My code now looks like
this:
#(define ((set-position-font-size pos style)
grob origin current)
(let*
((interfaces
(ly:grob-property grob 'interfaces))
(position (ly:grob-property grob 'staff-position)))
(if (and
; is this a note head? (memq 'note-head-interface interfaces)
; is the Y coordinate right?
(= pos position))
; then do it. (set! (ly:grob-property grob 'style) style
\relative {
c
\applyoutput #(set-position-font-size -2 #'cross)
c e g }
When I try to compile it I get the error output:
GUILE signaled an error for the expression beginning here
#
(define ((set-position-font-size pos style) grob origin current)
/Users/anneke/Desktop/Vivian/Lilypond/Noteheads1.ly:1:2:

#

What is wrong?!
Many thanks,
Vivian Barty-Taylor,
