Temporarily split lyrics
Hi all, what would be the most efficient way of typesetting lyrics that are split for a few words, ideally together with some sort of brackets similar to what can be seen in https://git.openlilylib.org/bfsc/kayser/issues/58 (https://git.openlilylib.org/bfsc/kayser/issues/58) ? Any suggestions appreciated. Urs ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

I think you misunderstand Werner here (while he might have made his point slightly more explicit). The issue is not that the templates contain HTML, the issue is that they contain *content*.

You're mixing two issues here, and with one (the one I brought up) I think you're not right. The website doesn't have to look like a LilyPond document. But it has to make a suitable frame for LilyPond documents. It's one of the basics of typography to try finding a suitable text font that doesn't only look good but transports the content adequately. You wouldn't use Helvetica for a website selling cashmere pullovers, and you wouldn't use Caslon to promote an electronics discount store. And while I think the font you use right now looks beautiful and makes for a good website it's just not ideal for a website *about LilyPond*. The other point is the ratio of images and text. I think you have a valid point here, but I also think it will be a challenge to find a solution that everybody can live with. It's most probably not an option to discard substantial amounts of content, so this seems to require a new sitemap with significantly more individual pages (given that we can't use JavaScript to show/hide content dynamically). >From experience I can only recommend to approach this issue slowly, discussing steps individually. Websites are a topic where everybody can have an opinion about, and even a strong one, and if the community is faced with a suggestion that changes 10 things at once they will probably have much stronger objections than if the changes are done incrementally. In any case we will have to consider "remapping" the content when copying it over to a(ny) new website structure. > Indeed, sigh. This is one of the reasons I don't like working with HTML.

Re: Git/Lilypond workflow
Am 2015-02-15 15:19, schrieb RomanticStrings: What is the benefit of using Git? I understand that it keeps track of changes, so you can check your log and even retrieve previous versions(?). I use my home MacBook Pro and my work (sacred music director) PC laptop, and I have both a Dropbox and Google Drive account. It seems like Git doesn't work nicely with the latter, though I have much more space in it. Is there any reason I should consider using Git to manage my files, or is there a way to create an off-site(?) server to maintain my files so that I can access them on two computers? I am currently using Dropbox with a symbolic link to access the files I need on both computers (with the hard file on my laptop, which stays at home). Basically, what is the purpose of using Git other than keeping track of changes? As suggested you may have a look at http://lilypondblog.org/tag/version-control/ (maybe taking this as a starter: http://lilypondblog.org/2014/01/why-use-version-control-for-engraving-scores/) Generally Git doesn't work well with _any_ service like Dropbox or Google Drive (anything that touches your files independently from yourself). You can create an account at (e.g.) GitHub (only open source repositories are free) or (e.g.) BitBucket, where you can have free private repositories with up to five collaborators. There are other providers but I can't comment on them, and you can create your own GitLab clone like Gitlab - but when you're not even sure whether you'd need Git at all that's definitely nothing for you yet. As to your final question: The purpose of using Git is keeping track of changes. And that makes the difference. I always say: making the move to use version control for authoring documents (scores and text) is like learning to read or learning to walk.

To be promising it should be backed by a number of contributors right from the start. And with contributors I don't mean hired copyists. Best Urs I’m a bit sceptical about this for two reasons: – For all the great achievements that have been made in creating lilypond, I think you will all consent that it is still far from reaching the quality level represented by hand-engraving from the end of 19th to the middle of 20th century. An example of this is the Winterreise edition by Max Friedländer on IMSLP http://imslp.org/wiki/Winterreise,_D.911_%28Schubert,_Franz%29 (which is of course insatisfactory in textual matters). – We nowadays go very far in refinement of editorial methods and preparing ever new Urtext editions, which often differ from each other only in details sometimes insignificant for actual music making and for getting the actual meaning of the music. Don’t misunderstand me: there are of course Urtext editions which do in fact shed a new light on the music and provide significant novelties. And if on top of that the typographical quality is acceptable or even nice (yes, it does occur, even without lilypond, in rare cases), I also buy them. But with Bach for example, I think most volumes of the old Bach complete edition http://imslp.org/wiki/Bach-Gesellschaft_Ausgabe_%28Bach,_Johann_Sebastian%29 maintain a really high scientific standard on top of being beautiful, and they are freely available already, which to me makes the earlier mentioned Open Goldberg/WTC campaign somewhat needless. To come back on the Winterreise topic, on the above linked IMSLP site there is also the edition by Mandyczewski (also from a Breitkopf Härtel complete edition), whose editorial work I consider to be level to that of most modern „Urtext” editions. The drawbacks are in this case: there is no medium/low voice edition, and the engraving is very nice, but too airy for my taste and thus also takes more pages than necessary for many pieces, which makes a practical inconvenience for the pianist. So I do see the possibility of bringing together the best available typographical and scientific quality and make a „Winterreise” edition meeting all needs. However it’s not like there isn’t already a very good edition in the public domain. (And it’s not a silly idea either to buy the very affordable Urtext edition by Peters, which takes the original, unsurpassed layout of the Friedländer edition and adds changes necessitated by textual revision, and then have it in fine print quality also.) To conclude this: I’m under the impression that it would be better to focus on less-known music, of which there are no good editions already (like you did with Fried!) and perhaps live with the thought that having to pay for sheet music is perfectly fair and corresponds to the value of the product. Or I’m simply lacking your musicological proficiency and my estimate about the necessity of a new edition of Schubert’s Winterreise is incorrect? After all, I am judging it more from the artist’s than from the scientist’s point of view. Hm, there _are_ some points to what you say. But I'd say that in the case of Winterreise there _are_ significant aspects that aren't completely clear yet. Maybe the open questions wouldn't warrant a new commercial printed edition, but perhaps exactly a more volatile digital edition. There are questions in the Winterreise that can't ever be finally decided, but the editor of a printed edition _has_ to make definitive decisions. This is something a digital edition can try to deal with better - even when the final medium will still be a printout on paper. As said I don't have the time to go into detail currently, but just a few hints: There hasn't been _any_ edition so far that printed the songs in the original keys, _all_ editions take the keys of the first publication. Five songs, however, had originally been composed in

Re: new user problem
Hi Molly,
I don't have a LilyPond equipped computer right now, so I can't really
investigate.
But you should definitely get a habit of better layout of your input.
A good suggestion is for example to always start a new line for a measure.
You may make exceptions with things like a number of r1 measures, but
in general this will make your code _much_ more readable.
It will make it much easier for us to spot problems, and often it will
make them abvious to yourself ;-)

No. If it is Chopin, what Opus and Number is it ?
It's Leopold Godowsky's Study on Chopin's Study op. 25,11.
And, just out of curiosity, how would you do that in LilyPond?
If possible, use a more standard way to show whatever this means.
I see it's _very_ non-standard notation. But I think it's a clever
idea to express the metric ambiguity of that pattern.
If one were to engrave this composition I don't see any justification
to 'normalize' that notation.
You can set the number of beams fairly easily, but LilyPond always
draws the outer beams so the span across the inner beams

\set subdivideBeams = ##t
\once\override Beam #'beam-segments = #

e
\set #'stemLeftBeamCount = #0

You could probably add some Scheme code to pick out the middle beams
with vertical-count 1 and replace them with a single beam.
Sorry, I don't know when I'll have access to a decent computer (i.e.
one running LilyPond ;-) ) again, so I can't play around with your
suggestion right now.

Re: SMuFL
Zitat von Janek Warchoł janek.lilyp...@gmail.com: Hi folks, 2013/8/9 Urs Liska u...@openlilylib.org: Hi all, although I suspect this could once more become a longish and scattered thread, I feel forced to bring it up here. What do you think: would it make sense to open up LilyPond thinking to the idea of SMuFL brought up by Steinberg and Daniel Spreadbury? http://www.smufl.org Of course currently it's only their new Bravura font that complies to that proposed standard. But I can imagine there will be more 'participators' in mid-term future. Any thoughts? I've missed the main discussion but i have a (hopefully) valuable comment. We don't know if it would be worth it to make LilyPond support SMuFL. But i think the question is: what should we do to make it easier to us to adopt SMuFL if we decide to to do in the future? In other words, how can we influence SMuFL design so that it would fit LilyPond better (without doing anything ourselves). For example, it would probably be a good idea to ensure that SMuFL has places for all glyphs we have. I think that's the least we should try to achieve. Otherwise we'd risk getting left behind if SMuFL turns out to become an accepted standard. And although we don't know that yet, I think chances are not too bad that this may happen. Daniel Spreadbury wrote to me: It would definitely be useful to have a list of gaps between SMuFL and the Emmentaler font. I have looked at the Emmentaler documentation a little bit, but I haven't necessarily understood everything that's in there. There are some early music-specific ranges, for example, that I would need to be able to consult with a subject area expert before I could consider encoding them in SMuFL. One additional suggestion would be to move Emmentaler's glyphs to the Unicode codepoints suggested by SMuFL. IIUC this wouldn't need any internal change in the layout engine at first. And in the process of remapping any gaps would become apparent 'automatically'. I think there even is someone here who would be willing to look into it - if he gets any positive feedback from the community.

Re: fatal error
I can't test right now, but I think the reason for your problem is the following: When you say #'stencil = ##f it's not that you hide the object but you actually _remove_ its stencil. So when you afterwards say #'stencil = ##f there isn't an object anymore LilyPond can refer to. You could however assign a new stencil with that command. Maybe Jim Long's suggestion works (don't know). If not you should either try to achieve the desired result with an other method than removing the stencil or look up how to (re-)add the appropriate stencil instead of your second example line.

No idea whether that will cause a fatal error, but even if not, it is quite unlikely to do what was intended. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Limited number of input caracters allowed in .ly file
OK, then it's not a problem with LilyPond but with the editor you are using. Which editor do you use (which operating system)? Urs Zitat von Laszlo Koczka laszlo.koc...@web.de: Hi Everybody, Thank you for your answers. “What is the exact behaviour you're encountering? Cheers, Kieren.“ The cursor simply stops in .ly and no more inputs are possible. I tried several times with deleting some parts somewhere else but I could only add further notes/instructions until a certain point and in the length/number of characters I deleted before. “An error in your code is probably the reason. Any error messages ?“ No error messages. I could make a .pdf output without a problem but no extension of text in .ly was possible. What code do you mean? “Can supply the .ly file and the trace of the compilation by LP? JM“ I reduced the length of the song when removing parts of it. Once I could come to the end of program and finish it unless the cursor stopped LP worked fine.
