latest version breaks some functions
Hey all - I upgraded from 2.14 to 2.18 and this function which had used to work
fine now throws an error
metMod = #(define-music-function (parser location valueI valueII) (string?
string?)
#{
\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'outside-staff-priority = #1000
\mark \markup {
\concat {
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #$valueI #1
=
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #$valueII #1
}
}
#}
)
the error is somthing like GUILE expects input type string instead of input
type unassigned at #$valueI in line below
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #$valueI #1
any idea what's broken??
thanks in advance - cheers Michael

Re: ways of using Lilypond?

Re:vim
in recent comments folks have discouraged vim - I have learned vim (MacVim) specifically for Lilypond use and have found it terrific. I have mapped commands to send to lilypond and view pdf or open midi output in Quicktime player. The syntax coloring is a pain to install but works. vims capabilities (eg finding other instances of text the cursor is on, folding, navigation) and plugins (snippets, alignment) are super useful in a Lilypond context. So I just wanted to encourage anyone who is serious about longer projects to consider vim - like Lilypond it has a steep learning curve but you can be very productive once you have it going. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re:vim
for those who asked about mapping in vim for example: this mapping in my vimrc: map lil :wbar:!lilypond -o % %CR runs the current file through lilypond when I type 'lil' likewise: map pdf :! open %.pdfCR map mid :!quit 'Quicktime Player 7'CR:! open -a 'Quicktime Player 7' %.midiCR open the pdf and midi (I'm on mac which uses this 'open' command) I also have an almost working sed script which halves or doubles durations (perhaps someone on the list can do this right :) ) Vim allows you to pipe selected text through shell scripts rather simply. I also use the snippets plugin which emulates TextMates very useful snippets feature and the Align plugin to align lines of parallel music on the '|' character. The snippets let you set small snippets of text to expand with the cursor tabbing through values - this allows you to automate things like setting up a staff with staffname and midi instrument very quickly. Also vim has a great feature which will open a file the cursor is on - so you can straight away open included files with a single keystroke. and of course you can navigate multiple open files with the command :b followed by a bit of the desired file's name... say 'viola' or 'score' or 'two' - you can imagine. anyway these are a few of vims features. On the down side vim requires you to relearn how you use a text editor in that it requires you to change modes between navigating, inserting, selecting, commanding as appropriate so there is some learning involved. try the tutorial to see if vim makes any sense for you - ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: center tempo mark on barline?
thanks Phil: I am trying to build a set of re-useable metric modulations - and I'm favoring the Carter-style in which the '=' is centered on the barline. I have a music function which creates the appropriate \tempo \markup (and midi tempo changes thanks to Neil Puttock) from 2 durations, and I'd like to modify it to have it centered properly on the barline. The piece I am writing is long and has many dozens of such marks so I'm hoping to avoid scooting them all around manually... thanks again michael ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
center tempo mark on barline?
hi all - wondering how I might align the center of a tempo mark on a barline? any way? tia ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
suppression of identical tempo markings
with this code:
\score { \new Staff { \tempo 4 = 80 c d e f \tempo 4 = 80 g a b c }}
lilypond does not display the second (redundant) tempo indication.
is there a way to force lilypond to display it? I am using dotted quarter =
quarter metronome marks in succession and lilypond is refusing to display other
than the first...
tia!

metronome marks suppression again
howdy all - a refinement to my question.
yes indeed, setting Score.tempoHideNote = ##f will force lily to display
redundant makings like \tempo 4 = 80.
but is there also a way to force lily to show redundant tempo markups like this
one?:
\score{
\new Staff{
c d e f
%%% this mark shows up %%
\tempo \markup {
\concat {
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #8. #1
=
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #4 #1
}
}
g a b c
this mark does not %
\tempo \markup {
\concat {
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #8. #1
=
\smaller \general-align #Y #DOWN \note #4 #1
}
}
d e f g
}}

scheme variable for tempo
I am writing some music with a great many metric modulations. I plan to create a set of metric modulations which i could re-use: \quarterEqualsDottedEighth and so forth to produce the desired notation. Simple enough. But what I am after is a way to have these prefab modulations affect the tempo. Ideally I could set some kind of variable for the tempo and have the metric modulations alter it, so that they would perform as expected in every situation. So for example \quarterEqualsDottedEighth would increase the tempo by 4/3. any thoughts?

beams over rests
I'm writing a piece with complex rhythms and want to beam rests together with notes for clarity. c8[ r8] produces a beam on the c which does not extend to the following rest. c8[ \set stemLeftBeamCount = #1r8] produces what I'm after in that case... but in any case manually beaming every beat is a chore... is there a better way? Ideally there would be a variable to include rests in beams as part of the autobeamer ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
