shorten stem
Merry Christmas, if anyone is out there today.
I'm trying to squeeze a piece onto a single page, and I'm fussing with stem
direction to control the height of the lines. I got the song to fit on a page,
except there are few note/beam clashes (see example below). Is there a way to
manually raise the beam to prevent the note clash. It's not going to look
pretty, but its more important to prevent page flipping.

Re: shorten stem
You can explicitly set the position of the left and right ends of a beam with \override Beam #'positions. Perfect. It's a bit fussy getting the numbers right but I like the control. BTW, I had the slope macro in the suite of guitar macros I got from you a few years ago and which I use all the time. I just forgot about it. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Adrian le Roy
This question is not about lilypond, so feel free to shame me. I have played a few Adrian le Roy pieces on guitar and enjoyed them. I'd like to go back to the original manuscripts and write out a few songs in lilypond for teaching purpose (and no copyright issues). However, easier said than done. Here is an original manuscript: http://imslp.org/wiki/Special:ImagefromIndex/192332 Tiers Livre de Tabvlatvre de Gviterre 1552 Whoa!!! Can someone explain this musical notation to me?

Note Exercise, Guitar
I'm creating a simple note exercise for guitar students (see below).
I have 3 problems:
1. The lyric underscores are too close to the low E so there is no room to
write the note name. How do I add extra padding (spacing) between the staff
and the lyrics?
2. How do I tweak the vocalName under the treble clef rather than have it
outside the staff lines?
3. How do I repeat the vocalName at the start of each lyric line rather than
just having the vocalName on the first line?
Any suggests on how to do this better, would also be appreciated.

Re: enlarge vertical distance in time signature
Other than that (same with denom), the code looks fine to me. Works! However, (and there is always a however ;-), the font and font size are not the same as the regular (default) time signature. Is there a a way to grab these two pieces of information from the regular timestamp stencil and set them in this stencil? ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: enlarge vertical distance in time signature
I consider it much nicer to make strg of type fraction?, and then num
can be (car strg) and denom can be (cdr strg).
and
can just be \spreadTimeSignature #8 2/4 ... which is nicer on the eyes.
I was intrigued and tried to modify the code as you suggested as a learning
exercise. But I ran into a problem I do not understand. I assumed that fraction
is a pair of two numbers, so num and denom are of type number. column needs
strings so the numbers have to be converted. However, I get the following

Re: Glissando between single notes in chord
I've been working on the last version of David Nalesnik's guide-finger code. The reason is a horizontal and vertical placement problem when the guide line is long and/or at a steep angle. I have managed to fix the vertical problem, but the horizontal problem has me flummoxed. The example below shows the horizontal problem by placing a guide finger above/below a normal finger number. A stencil is created for the guide-line and finger number, which needs to be centered above/below its associated note head for fingeringOrientations up and down. However, something is wrong with the centering calculation. The width of the stencil seems to be too short so the calculation fails to center it. So there is something about the width of the stencil I do not understand. I have heavily comment the code to make it possible to understand. === \version 2.17.4 \language english #(set-global-staff-size 30) % left-hand finger guide before note #(define (guide-finger slope len fingering) ;; Purpose ;; add ornamentation line before fingering symbol to indicate figner movement along a ;; string without making a sound (i.e., not a glissando) ;; Parameters ;; slope : angle of rotation around right centre ;; len : length of line prefacing fingering ;; fingering : fingering designation for note (let ((music (make-music 'FingeringEvent))) (set!

Re: Glissando between single notes in chord
I'm using glissandos to indicate a guide finger in fingering, and in ...
Hey Nick, we certainly struggle with indicating a guide finger. 8-)
First, an observation, which I know you are already aware of, but I'll make it
anyway. It is important to differentiate between the glissando, which makes a
sound, and a guide finger, which is finger movement without a sound (like a
breath mark). Therefore, the notation for these two items needs
differentiation or the guitar player can make an uncalled for sound. Clearly,
the glissando with a finger number implies a guide finger. The notation I like
for the guide finger is a short mark before the finger number so there is less
chance of mistaking it for a glissando.
Below is my attempt at a guide finger (which I'm sure you saw a few months
ago). I redefined your guide to Guide so both are available in the
example. My complain with your version is that I would play it as a glissando
rather than take it as an instruction for a guide finger. The problem with my
version is that the combined guide/finger-number are centred above/below the
note. I don't know how to get the finger number centred above the note (i.e.,
right justify the entire glyph); any help would be appreciated. I did try
ly:stencil-aligned-to but no change in the output.
Anyway, my 2 cents on this on-going struggle. ;-)

EasyHeadsOn
I want large note names with EasyHeadsOn for teaching.
I did the following hacks:
1. commented out the explicit setting of NoteHead #'font-size in EasyHeadsOn
so I could increase the font size.
2. changed the constant dividend in Brew-ez-stencil:
(radius (/ (+ staff-space line-thickness) 1.5))
to make the circle larger.
However, I have to constantly play with the dividend as I change staff-spacing.
What I really want to do but don't know how, is to write something like:
(radius is 1/2 the height of character G in the font for NoteHead)
Or something equivalent.
Personally, I think EasyHeadsOn should work this way and not be keyed to the
staff-spacing.

finger/ note position
The following snippet illustrates two problem I'm struggling with.
1. In the first bar, the finger number 2 is not beside the B note because of
the sharp above it in a different voice. I can tweak the finger number back
into position beside the B note, but I have a number of these cases in the
piece I'm working on so is there a global way to prevent this interaction
between accidents and finger numbers in parallel voices?
2. In the second bar, the A note stem is clashing slightly with the D note
above it. I've tried to push the A note to the right using \shiftOnnn, but
I've run out of ns. ;-) How can I push the A note further to the right to
avoid the stem clash?

Re: lilypondfile
Perfect, except it still generates a PDF file, which I don't need and I could not find an command-line option to prevent the PDF from being created. But that's what a Makefile is for: I just delete the PDF. Lilypond also has a --ps option So what you want is: lilypond -dbackend=eps -daux-files=#f --ps file.ly 8-) It works, but totally counter-intuitive. I do use --ps all the time, and the usage manual is clear on this option: --ps Generate PostScript. so it never would have occurred to me that --ps means NOT --ps if the backend option is eps. Now the usage manual does state: The prefix no- may be added to option-name to switch 'off' an option, e.g. -dpoint-and-click=#f is the same as -dno-point-and-click so I tried -dno-ps but that generates: warning: no such internal option: no-ps Just to show I am doing due diligence, the usage manual also says: --png Generate pictures of each page, in PNG format. This implies '--ps'. --pdf Generate PDF. This implies '--ps'. but in both cases, no ps file exists after the command. Yes, the output of the command indicates: Layout output to `file.ps'... but creation of this temporary file is an internal issue since it is subsequently removed, and therefore, irrelevant to the meaning of the command-line option. Finally, what does the -o option do? -o,--output=FILE or FOLDER Set the default output file to FILE or, if a folder with that name exists, direct the output to FOLDER, taking the file name from the input file. The appropriate suffix will be added (e.g. .pdf for pdf) in both cases. For this command $ lilypond mary.ly -o fred my expectation is that the PDF output is placed in file fred.pdf rather than mary.pdf, but here is what occurs: GNU LilyPond 2.16.0 Processing `mary.ly' Parsing... Interpreting music...[8] Preprocessing graphical objects... Finding the ideal number of pages... Fitting music on 1 page... Drawing systems... Layout output to `mary.ps'...

Re: lilypondfile
I've not tried this to confirm it's correct, but my expectation is that the syntax is lilypond options filename So you should write lilypond -o fred mary.ly Works!

Re: header font size
As I crank up the global-staff-size, the heading text gets LARGE. I'd like
to uniformly reduce the size of the heading text like this:
\override Score.HeaderText #'font-size = #-1
I set the font size explicitly:
subtitle = \markup {\fontsize #5 No. 12. Quintet Finale}
But I have multiple fields in the header: title, composer, arranger, etc., and
I did not want to put a markup around each field. Rather I wanted a global
reduction that maintains the existing font ratios that already exists in the
header, like title is larger than subtitle, etc. I.e., just scale all the
existing header fonts up/down by a constant (log?) factor.
Global-staff-size is clearly doing this uniform scaling of header fonts already
because, as I crank up the staff size, all the header fonts are adjusted
uniformly. So it feels like the mechanism to accomplish this should already be
in place and there just needs to be a handle to rescale the header fonts after
the staff-size scaling or some such.

Re: lilypondfile
The vertical spacing between systems in lilypond-book is established by LaTeX, not LilyPond, so most spacing parameters will not be effective. Ouch! 8-( Having to fuss with vertical spacing in two places is unfortunate, especially since the latex version only gives a fixed spacing whereas lilypond allows control at multiple levels. I don't think knowing the number of files already included in this snippet is going to be helpful. Maybe I need to directly include PS/PDF output from lilypond if I want them to be the same. 8-( Intersystem spacing in lilypond-book is documented in the usage manual, though possibly not really obvious: Yes, I saw those macros but never imagined I would need them unless I have to tweak after the fact.

Re: guide finger
I suppose you're thinking of ly:stencil-rotate.
Brilliant!
Now let me see if I can reward your patience by showing you I have learned
something.
The rotation needs to be along the right centre (center) so the character
appears to rotate in the middle of the finger number, which I figured out.
Also, I put in some documentation. And I generalize one step further by
allowing the ornamentation character to be passed as an argument. However, I
don't know how to write gsc (see below) to pass in a character or unicode to
gx. So I still need help.
Also, does scheme have optional positional parameters and/or named parameters
to possibly allow more generalization, such as the padding size or putting the
ornamentation before or after the finger symbol? (Yea, I'm probably getting
carried away here. ;-)

Re: guide finger
Thank you so much. However, because rotate performs its rotation around the center of the character I need to make a small adjustment. There is a rotation routine allowing rotation at an arbitrary point but it appears to be solely for music not markups. I tried the following change using translate but there is no translate-guide routine, which was a guess on my part after looking at the way rotate is used. I have attempted to locate a list of these Scheme routines but been unsuccessful. I even downloaded the GIT source for lilypond and tried to find them there. So I have done due diligence, but I may have done the wrong things. Can someone show me how to make translate move the character? I can do the fine tuning of the position after that. #(define (gx rotate-guide fingering) (let ((music (make-music 'FingeringEvent)) (finger (ly:music-property fingering 'digit)) (guide-char #x2013)) (set! (ly:music-property music 'tweaks) (acons 'stencil (lambda (grob) (grob-interpret-markup grob (make-concat-markup (list (make-rotate-markup rotate-guide (make-char-markup guide-char)) ;;(make-translate-markup translate-guide '(2 . 3) (make-rotate-markup rotate-guide (make-char-markup guide-char))) (number-string finger) (ly:music-property music 'tweaks))) music)) == You might consider upgrading to one of the current development versions if you're interested in writing functions like this. There is now quite a bit more flexibility and power to music functions (thanks to David Kastrup). I am using GNU LilyPond 2.15.41 even though my files still have \version 2.14.2 at the start. Again, I spent some time trying to locate scheme music functions but was wholly unsuccessful. But I may just be searching with the wrong magic phrases. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
easyHeadsOn
This is probably a historical issue after reading some older posts, but I can't
directly change the size of the notehead for easyHeadsOn. I want the note
heads to be BIG so it is easy to read (and pronounce) the note. Below is my
attempt at adjusting the notehead size directly. Changing the value of
font-size makes no difference in the output.

\override Score.NoteHead #'font-size = #7

}
Yes, it is possible to indirectly change the relative size of the notehead for
easyHeadsOn by increasing the global-staff-size. However, to get the notehead
large enough to read the letters, I had to use a value of 50, which means there
is almost no music on a page.
So go big or go home with easyHeadsOn! ;-)

guide finger
In *classical* guitar-music, there is a finger augmentation called a guide
finger indicating left-hand shifting. Nick Payne uses a mechanism based on the
glissando.
I found this code written for a finger shift on a violin, which I like because
it handles finger location and color, etc. However, for guitar, there are 3
kinds of finger shift: up, neutral and down, corresponding to about 30 degrees
up, flat and 30 degrees down for the - character.
So I can't make the changes to do what I want. 8-( I have sketched out what I
would like, which is 2 default parameters, the guide character and the rotation
amount, and to rotate this character before concatenating it with the string
number.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically, there is a clash with the triple number even though I specified:

Using markup is a hack because the distance between notes can change and then
