Newbie: strange bar
Unless my ear has a virus, bar 4 of this piece plays all wrong. When
I submit it to timidity, bar 4 seems to have extra notes in it that
are not printed in the pdf. The pdf is correct.
The 2nd half plays fine. Most strange.
Thanks
Joe

midi file names only 3 parts
Please, lilypond 2.6.3: lilypond the.bottom.bracket.ly produces a midi file named: the.bottom.midi It chops off the third part of the name. Any way round this ? Joe ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Try including

In your .ly file, or adding the indent = 0.0\cm statement to your existing
\layout { } statement.
Makes no difference, sorry.
There seems to be some sort of bug associated with behaviour see:

but no conclusion.
It only happens with _some_ tunes, but I cannot see the pattern.
Thanks a lot.

lilypond-book and misalignment
NEWBIE: on debian sarge with lilypond 2.6.3. Please, my googling leads me to believe that there is some kind of bug in Lilypond-book which causes it to output misaligned staves ? I seem to be suffering from this, in that _sometimes_, only sometimes, the first stave is far too far to the right. Is there a fix for this or some kind of work around ? Thanks a lot.

NEWBIE: repeating whole tunes
Please, what is the best way to ask lilypond to create a midi file in such a way that the _whole_ tune is played n times. n will be passed from the command line. I have written perl code to extract the essential parts of the tune and create a new ly file with the essential parts repeated n times. But the repeats are played an octave up each time. I know this must be simple. Thanks. Joe ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

but, it is working fine. The perl bit is easy.

As mentioned in the first post, it makes a great IDE for LilyPond on Windows. You can compile your scripts, view the PDF's, play the MIDI's and even summon LilyPond help files, all from within ConTEXT. Syntax highlighting is easy to set up (the hardest part is typing in all the keywords). :) my xemacs does all this already. And _much_ more. I too am _very_ new to lilypond.

short tunes
Traditional tunes tend to be short. Just a burst of eight bars, repeated usually and then a burst of another eight bars again repeated. I would like to play the tune a number of times 1,2,3 perhaps 4 times. I could go: timidity my.tune timidity my.tune timidity my.tune but is no good as there is a delay between tunes. How can I tell Lilypond to put out the tune (ie the notes) n times, where n is taken from the command line ? I would like to have my tunes stand alone, so I can edit them an play them individually. But I would also like to suck the essential parts of these same tunes into a book for sharing or perhaps publications. I don't mind writing some perl code to do this, but I need to know the essential parts to suck in. Thanks a lot.

Not that I know of. It is largely an aural tradition. The emphasis is not on scores at all. Pieces are short and there is usually a lot of repetition. Does anyone have any hints for a fast: editor - score - midi revision cycles ? What do you mean? [I just do what you described below.] I suppose it all boils down to processor speed. From the time I edit the score until I get the finished pdf and midi files, there is quite a delay. Due to my own lack of skill, I make lots of mistakes, so I end up going round this cycle a goodly number of times. Programming an xemacs function key will probably help. -- Thanks Joe Mc Cool Snark, currently Shannon Harbour ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
writing Irish Traditional music
Please, is there any recommended sources of info on writing Irish Tradition tunes using Lilypond ? (For example, how does one stipulate rolls ?) Lilypond is a super system. I love it already, after years of using ABC. Thanks a lot. Does anyone have any hints for a fast: editor - score - midi revision cycles ? I use timidity and xemacs. I see no point in involving products like Rosegarden or Noteedit et al. I just key the Lilypond source straight into the file using xemacs and then browse the score and listen to the midi, before doing corrections. Thanks again.

output files where ?
Please, how can I control where Lilypond (v2.2.6) puts her output files: dvi, tex, mid, ps, pdf etc ? At the moment she puts them in the current directory. Thanks Joe Mc Cool ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

newbie:poor quality output
Please, I have just started using Lilypond (2.4.5) on a debian sarge system and I am getting on reasonably well with the syntax. But, the quality of my pdf files is very poor. Notes and staff lines etc look ugly. Probably this is a font problem, but I do not know how to proceed.
