Re: trouble installing
i think i'm all set for now; i found a dotpup package of 2.10.11, and it seems to work well enough for me. i found it at http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/Lilypond-2.10/ , and i downloaded (but didn't seem to need to install) the optional python add-on pup. i'd still like to know what i did to cause the original problem, though... thanks! -steve On Fri, Dec 19, 2008 at 11:14 AM, Jonathan Kulp jonlancek...@gmail.comwrote: steve berthiaume wrote: hello, i'm trying to install lilypond on puppylinux 3.01, and i'm having a problem with extracting the files: # sh lilypond-2.10.33-1.linux-x86.sh LilyPond installer for version 2.10.33 release 1.

name of chord font?
hello, what is the name of the font used for chord names? i'm adding chords as text markup (version 2.10.20), and I would like the chord symbols to look distinct from the other text. thanks, -steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
more: chords as text markup
hope these questions aren't too stupid or nitpicky:
i am trying to add chord symbols as text markup rather than through chords
mode, because i can't make sense of the process as outlined in the manual or
regression tests (my problem).
in the following example, in changing font to verdana, i seem to have lost
the accidental, and no combination of brackets and quotes seems to help.
also, while this example concerns the flat symbol, is it correct to assume
that the sharp sign in a chord symbol should be the actual sharp accidental
and not the # [shift 3 on the american keyboard layout]?
thanks,
steve

jazz chords superscript
hello,
i'm trying to define a set of custom chords for use in jazz charts, and i
would like to be able to have the numbers (7, 9, 11, 13, etc) raised above
the chord name. I use Brandt-Roemer standardized chord notation, so my
chords look like Cmi7, Cma9, Cdim, Cmi7b5 etc.
I've checked out the regression
test,http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/source/input/regression/lily-2253a7494a.lyand
it says to add a superscript, the number has to be preceded by \super.
i've tried this in the following example, and i get an 'unknown escaped
string \super' error:
b4^\markup {G#mi \super 9}
what am i doing wrong?
thanks,

parts from score or score from parts?
hello, i need to do a bunch of three-horn arrangements of pop tunes; and it's better for me to check everything if all three staffs are on the same page in a score. my first attempt was to write all the parts individually, then combine them into a score. This seems to be the easiest way with my beginner skills, but is it also possible (and perhaps more efficient)to do this the other way around? that is, write a 3-staff score in a single piece, then extract the parts? thanks again; i'm really enjoying the program, and enjoying passing off .ly text files to my bandmates as finished parts, and waiting for their reaction! :-) -steve ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: Bar line at the left end of each stave
Just so this doesn't get lost in the discussion, I wanted to make sure that the space that is made available by removing the clef is used for notation, and that I don't end up with a bar line on the left, followed by a big space, then notation which is spaced as if there were a clef there. That came out a little confused; hope it makes sense! -steve As soon as your score has more than a single stave, then you automatically get a line at the left edge. However, if you only have a single stave, then it's automatically turned off. I have tried a number of different tricks, but this seems to be a hard-coded behaviour in the program that i couldn't workaround. Therefore I pass the question to the developers mailing list: ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
newbie q: staff size
hello; enjoying learning this program!
i want to enlarge the size of my trumpet chart, as we are all getting older
and must apparently continue to play in poorly-lit venues :-(.
what's the easiest way to do this? i've tried
\layout
{#(set-global-staff-size 20)}
but this only generates an error:
Warning: not in toplevel scope
and no change in the printout.
i've also tried
\score
{ .\layout{ #(layout-set-staff-size 15) }}
in different permutations (with without {} at various points etc.) but all
this seems to do is increase the size of the music relative to the staff, so
i get giant notes on a normal-sized staff.
thanks in advance for any help; here's my score so far (I can already hear
everyone laughing!):
