Re: ignoring between-system-padding
Graham and Joe, Thanks for your responses. It turns out that switching back to 2.10 did the trick. Thanks for the help! -jim Joe Neeman wrote: On Sunday 18 March 2007 14:31, jim altieri wrote: Hi, I'm going a little batty trying to fine-tune the vertical spacing on my score.

In this case, there isn't one. The problem is that, in order to work out where to put page breaks, LilyPond estimates the height of each system. If it consistently underestimates the height, it might choose a page breaking configuration where the systems don't actually fit on the page. When it comes time to actually produce the pages, LilyPond realises that they don't fit and it ignores between-system-padding as a workaround (rather than having the systems run off the bottom of the page). There are a few things you can do: 1) Add annotate-spacing = ##t to your paper block. Compare Y-extent and Y-extent-estimate on the output. If you notice that the estimates are bad, send a bug report. 2) Set page-breaking-between-system-padding in the paper block to something larger than between-system-padding. This will trick the page breaker into thinking that you want more padding than you really do. As a result, it will put fewer systems on each page. 3) Set system-count to the number of systems you want. This currently bypasses all the height-estimation stuff. 4) Try 2.11.21 when it comes out; there is at least one issue that was fixed recently. 5) Use 2.10 instead of 2.11, where things like this are less likely to come up.

ignoring between-system-padding
Hi, I'm going a little batty trying to fine-tune the vertical spacing on my score. It's too complex to include here, but suffice to say, when I typeset the file, I get the following warning: warning: Can't fit systems on page -- ignoring between-system-padding What is the code equivalent of, Please, LilyPond, stop ignoring me? I'd really like it to use at least a certain padding between systems, otherwise use fewer systems per page. As of now, I don't have explicit line or system breaks. I'm using 2.11.20, on MacOSX. thanks, jim altieri ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
lilypond fonts in another format
Hi everybody, I was wondering, does anyone have a converted version of the lilypond fonts (specifically, New Century Schoolbook) in a format that's usable by other Mac applications (like Illustrator). I'm working on a graphic score that I would like to have the same typography as the other movements, which I'm notating in Lilypond. I'm having trouble getting FontForge to work for me... anyone else get dyld errors when you try to run it? Thanks, Jim ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
dotted vertical lines between notes
Hi everybody,
In a proportional notation score, I'd like to be able to draw dotted
vertical lines between pairs (or groups) of notes that have simultaneous
attacks. I have a feeling that if it's possible it uses the GridLines
function, but I'm not sure how to make it only go between certain
staves. I've included a short score to indicate what I mean... I'd like
to draw dotted vertical lines between pairs of notes that in this
example are colored red.
Thanks,
jim altieri

Helmholtz-Ellis tuning sponsors?
Hi all, So, I'm working on a big just intonation piece. I've come across Marc Sabat's Helmholtz-Ellis tuning system ( http://newmusicbox.org/article.nmbx?id=4191 ), and I dig it. I'd really like these microtonal symbols integrated into Lilypond. Would anyone else be up for co-sponsoring this with me? Han-Wen, is this a fairly straightforward task? He's already made the symbols available as TT fonts. Thanks, jim altieri ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
how to have barlines in only one instrument, except ending barline
Hello,
I'm almost done with this score. I'd like to have the vocal line
without any barlines, except for the ending barline. So, I can't remove
the bar_engraver, otherwise I don't get the ending barline. How do I do
that?
thanks,
jim altieri

help with uneven proportional notation
Hello,
I'm new to lilypond, and apologize if this is a simple question. I've
searched the documentation and the online archives, and I can't seem to
figure out what the problem is. I have a piece in proportional-time
notation, yet some of the notes do not seem to be evenly spaced.
Particularly, observe the violin 1 spacing. All of the notes have the
same duration, and therefore should be evenly spaced. I have
experimented with many different values of make-moment, and this does
not seem to have any effect. Below is my score.
Thanks for your time,
jim altieri
