Re: OFF: Help from native English speakers (epsecially if speaking German)
ok, just my guesses... sometimes, we will just call 4 voice arrangements SATB music, for soprano, alto, tenor, and bass. we might call a pleading, begging prayer earnest prayer we might say omnipotent God for the last one.

We'd like to create the information booklet in 3 languages, Hungarian, German and English Could you please help me finding the best words for the following: - how would you call the 4-voice arrangements of hymns used in presbiterian liturgy. Just hymn arrangement? (Choralsatz in German) - what is a good way for translating the German inständiges flehen, meaning something like pleading, devoted praying - what is a good way of translating the German ewig reicher Gott, meaning something like God, who has power forever.

Re: GDP: LM 3-4
graham: LM 3 and LM 4 are quite hard going for anyone fairly new to LilyPond. thank you trevor! i am certainly a newbie, and although i have always found these sections very confusing, i never spoke up cause i had no suggestions about how to improve them. now that i'm trying to help, i'll ramble out loud here a little... to just read these sections is confusing and boring. the tweaking is especially hard to read. i mean i hardly ever have an issue about how lilypond engraves, and when it is different than what i'm transcribing, i usually don't care. i realize i am at the very bottom of the lilypond user pool, i simply want my lesson pieces larger for my old eyes, and the midi output is great too. enough rambling. i was proud/relieved recently, when after ~10 minutes of targetted study, i got a \once \override Score.MetronomeMark #'padding = #4 \tempo 4=88 \set Score.skipBars = ##t R1*3 to move the tempo marking above the 3 for the multi-measure rest. when given a specific problem to solve like this, the lm and nr docs are quite helpful. i had to get the naming convention, which engraver, and the property, and it worked out pretty quickly. but to just peruse the list of objects and properties is painful. now file structure is another confusing subject where again i have no sugesstion, but i do wish it were easier for the newbie. i worked on a couple of pieces for hours trying to use includes etc to completely minimize the amount of repeating any typing, such as putting music notes for violin, pianoright and pianoleft in separate files, the combining to print a score, a piano part with reduced violin above, and a violin by itself. i got something passable, but never nailed where some things. for example, i could not get a piano with smaller violin staff without repeating the violin music with a smaller staff, or having the violin part not show fingerings in the piano printout.

\prall and \setTextCresc
hi all, 1. \prall makes the mark i'm after, but i get warnings about warning: Ignoring grob for slur. avoid-slur not set? it makes my pdf just fine, but can i easily get rid of the warning? 2. i want all my crescendos text style. \setTextCresc also works fine, but i have to set it everytime i cresc. shouldn't it stay text unless i set it back to hairpin? i'm using v2.10.29 through jedit on windows xp. thanks in advance. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The third option is the best --- you can download the installer from the LilyPond page which will install it on your system in a harmless way, bypassing your package manager but without the trouble of compiling it yourself. Try it, you'll like it (and if you don't, you can get rid of the whole thing with a simple uninstall-lilypond command!) -- = Cameron Horsburgh = ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

accidentals disappear
i'm new to lilypond, but it's working great to put in my violin lesson stuff, and get midi output that rosegarden then plays at the very slow tempo i need. now i'm wanting it to print out large print sheet music, that would be great. if i add a #(set-global-staff-size 28), some sharp signs disappear. a search of the list archive turned up nothing, anyone have a solution? thanks in advance. calvin mitcham ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
