OK Valentin, I tried it (first) totally as you wrote...this did NOT
generate a .pdf file for me(or anyone else) to see :-( .
You must have forgotten some brace when copying/pasting.
But, using some of what you've shown me...but keeping my { }'s [ ]'s
;-) , I plugged my code so it was like this:
the point is: braces delimit LilyPond's expressions, for example
\repeat only affects one expression:
\repeat unfold 3 {a b c d} === a b c d a b c d a b c d
whereas
\repeat unfold 3 {a b} {c d} === a b a b a b c d
Just to clear-up any confusion, the IDEA behind this piece is that each
phrase/Voice is repeated UNTIL the next vertical chord would be
identical to the first vertical chord. In other words, the last chord
for this piece is the same as the first...g b d r c g. Pretty cerebral, eh?
I love repetitive music too. But as you can see with the attached
file, you might want to adjust your \repeat numbers, because for now
the voices don't end together...
Besides, maybe you'd better put them in a StaffGroup rather than a
GrandStaff; see the .ly file

Valentin, thanks for being interested :-) .
I have a feeling, right off the bat, that there's probably too much
here here, so any tips on less code would be appreciated also.

c8[b] a4 g8[fis]}
{d8[e]...(this also repeats as above)
}
this set-up is the same all the way through voiceF, with out the
parenthetical notes for you
}
}
\new GrandStaff
\new Staff \new Voice \voiceA
(etc., to)
\new Staff \new Voice \voiceF
\layout {}
\midi {}

Well, that's the gist of it. Even though I've entered the code for
additional measures, all the pdf shows is the initial 4.
Thnx again for your help.

Re: BRICK WALL
I don't know how much help my suggestion is, but I've run into a similar
situation. Could it be that the paper is the wrong size? Or, more
importantly in the same line of reasoning, could the line width be too long
for the given page size?
One time I was trying to get my music onto 6 by 9 inch pages, so I tried
this code:
\paper {
paper-width = 6\in
paper-height = 9\in
}
When I rendered the rest of my music, I could see only the middle of my
music, because the line width was still based on the A4 (default) paper
size. I had to add a line width declaration to the paper block, like this:
line-width = 5\in
Then it worked.
This may not be the problem at all, because reading your post again, I
realized that you would have noticed if measures were falling off the
page... in your case, they were just not getting rendered.
Another thought... maybe you should group those staves with \ChoirStaff
instead of \GrandStaff... just a thought.
I guess I should try running your example. ^_^

Romel

You'll find a few below.
1 \parallelMusic is useless here
2 manual a[b] beaming is not needed here (I removed every bracket, and
you'll see that LilyPond is smart enough to produce the exact same
result on its own :)
3 You use many, many braces: what for? I removed them too
4 I have defined a new identifier so I hadn't to specify many times
the key and the time signature.
5 I used \repeat unfold n so I hadn't to enter (or copy/paste) the
music again and again (see chapter 6.7 in the manual)
6 I added a \score block so your \layout and \midi stuff work better.
I advice you to clean your code this way, and then post again your
score (with all of the 6 voices); then we'll be able to help (if the
cleaning didn't solve your problem, which is nevertheless possible
after all :)
%%% Here's your score --much shorter :)
timeAndKey = { \time 4/4 \key g \major}
voiceA = \relative c'' { \timeAndKey
\repeat unfold 4 { g'4 fis4 d8 e b c d4 fis4 d4 b4 a8 b \times 2/3 {c
d c}d8 g fis
d c4 a2 g4}

voiceB = \relative c { \timeAndKey

Now, what happened here is that the first measure of each phrase gets
repeated, rather than the entire phrase.
How to do THAT? Also, LilypondTool via jEdit isn't generating a MIDI
file either.
Just to clear-up any confusion, the IDEA behind this piece is that each
phrase/Voice is repeated UNTIL the next vertical chord would be
identical to the first vertical chord. In other words, the last chord
for this piece is the same as the first...g b d r c g. Pretty cerebral, eh?
Any way, that's where it stands right now. The ball is in anyone's court
:-D .

Removing all the extra braces fixes this.

Hello all. Trying to do a piece with 6 seperate voices. The first 4 measures look fine, but I'm not able to go any further! Using version 2.10.0, on a Windows 98 box...which has worked fine for me this far. I've written a total of eight measures for each voice, but the pdf only will show the first 4. Suggestions? Thanks-in-advance, Mischa ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
