Re: Beginner question about writing for drums
Closer to what I would want but still :
\new DrumStaff \with {
} {
\context DrumVoice = "1" {
\override NoteHead.color = "red"
}
\context DrumVoice = "2" {
\override NoteHead.color = "green"
}
\repeat unfold 2 \grooveI |
\repeat unfold 4 \grooveII |
}

Re: Beginner question about writing for drums
Sorry about that, yes the example does not show anything about the
connection between voice "1" and "2".
Here is one that does :
\version "2.25.5"
\language "english"
grooveI = \drummode <<
<<
{
\override NoteHead.color = "red"
\repeat unfold 15 hh16 hho\laissezVibrer |
r8 \repeat unfold 12 hh16 hho8\laissezVibrer
}
>>
\\
{
\override NoteHead.color = "green"
bd4 r bd r8. bd16 |
r16 hhp bd bd r4 bd16 8. r8 bd |
}
>>
grooveII = \drummode <<
<<
\repeat unfold 8 hh8 |
\repeat unfold 2 {s4 sn8 s} |
>>
\\
\repeat unfold 2 {bd4 r} |
>>
\new DrumStaff \with {
} {
\repeat unfold 2 \grooveI |
\repeat unfold 4 \grooveII |
}
Here voice "1" stays red and voice "2" stays green.
Not sure why I do not find a way to change it in a \layout block…
\layout {
\context {
\DrumVoice % = "1" ?
% only where DrumVoice = "1"
\override Beam.stencil = ##f
}
}

Re: Beginner question about writing for drums
No question that this is a nice example as well, but I don't see where it shows
that the
voices are connected somehow (most probable I just missed it when reading over
it).
Can you explain further? (maybe reference some lines or what to look at)

Yes they are.

Oh I like this notation. Just being curios, are the voices somehow linked if I
create another chunk like that? (so is it possible to configure them together)
An example what I mean:
<< {hh4} \\ {bd4} >>
<< {cymbc4} \\ {sn4} >>
Can I set properties of the voices containing hh4 and the voice containing
cymbc4 somehow commonly? (or are these two completely different voices?)

That helped definitely (especially as it contains a nice mix of common
use-cases). Thanks for sharing.

I think this is quite a codebase for such a small piece on the sheet and the

I've been writing drum scores for many years and I'm still learning new
ways of doing things.
My approach is to use includes and variables as much as possible to
reduce duplicating everything.
Taking bar 1 from your example, here's a simplified structure that I use:
_*Song_LetterSizePaper.ly*_
\version "2.24.0"
\include "Title.ly"
\include "../SetPaperSizeLetter.ly"
\include "../Variables.ly"
\include "CyDr.ly"
\header {
title = \thisTitle
subtitle = " " %% to force a space under the title
}
\score {
\new DrumStaff
<<
\new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \Cy }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \Dr }
>>
\layout { indent = 0.0\cm ragged-last = ##t }
} % end of score
The includes:
_*Title.ly*_
\version "2.24.0"
thisTitle = "Title - Artist"
_*SetPaperSizeLetter.ly (One directory up so that other scores can use it)*_
\version "2.24.0"
\paper {
#(set-paper-size "letter")
% Centre the score with 1 inch left and right margins:
left-margin = 1\in
line-width = 6.5\in
% That leaves 1 inch for the right margin.
}
_*Variables.ly (One directory up so that other scores can use it)*_
HHSix = \drummode { \repeat unfold 6 hh8 }
_*CyDr.ly*_
\version "2.24.0"
Cy = \drummode {
\HHSix
}
Dr = \drummode {
\time 6/8
\tempo 4 = 140 % or maybe 4. = 140?
bd4. sn
}
As you learn, you will probably want to use your own definitions in your
own DrumStaff.drumStyleTable, but to get going, try some simple scores
and progress from there.
Beginner question about writing for drums
Hi,
I'm just getting started with lilypond so I hope this issue is not obvious. As
I'm playing the drums, many tutorials I found regarding lilypond do not quite
apply in the details. So far the two things I've found are
https://lilypondcookbook.com/toc and the docs
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/common-notation-for-percussion
(if you've got additional nice tutorials, I'd be glad to have some more).
The thing I struggle the most is how to properly "organize" the lilypond code.
Typically music (drum stuff especially when just writing a rough scheme) has
lots of repetitions.
The problem I've got on this end is that when writing for drums usually you use
two voices for the two hands (in one staff) e.g.
% from the tutorial I linked above
up = \drummode {
% Stems Up notes go here
}
down = \drummode {
% Stems Down notes go here
}
\score {<< \new DrumStaff <<
\new DrumVoice { \voiceOne \up }
\new DrumVoice { \voiceTwo \down }
>> >> }
. So to be able to use repetitions, I need lots of `<< \new Drumvoice{
\drummode{ \voiceOne content here }} \new Drumvoice{ \drummode{ \voiceTwo
content here }} >>`. This looks so ugly and verbose (see the larger example
below) that I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. Am I?
Does anyone of you has any experience working with drums in lilypond? Any
examples (not as small as in the docs/simple tutorials where the issue of
complexity does not arise but preferably not too large) I could have a look at?
Any advices for me as a lilypond beginner?
PS:
Everything I state is just how I've read/learnt it so far and I'm just starting
to get familiar with lilypond. So there might be errors in my statements.
I hope what I write is understandable (I'm no expert in music and technical
terminology in a foreign language is always particularly difficult)
-
An excerpt of my writing (just writing a sheet for a song, no composing) (and
see the attached image for the output):
\repeat volta 2 {
\repeat percent 3 {
<<
\new DrumVoice{
\drummode{
\voiceOne
\repeat unfold 12 hh8
}
}
\new DrumVoice{
\drummode{

only thing (apart from maybe using quite a lot newlines) blowing this up is
that `\new Drumvoice` etc is being used everywhere

First of all: notes that are tied together count as one syllable.
Second: the extender should stretch for as many syllables as you
specify, i.e. with single underscores separated by spaces after a
syllable: "ba -- ch __ _ _ _" would have an extender stretching under
four syllables. In Jo -- hann __ Se -- ba -- sti -- an the extender
will stretch for as long as that syllable lasts -- in your case, that
would mean over the two tied notes.
However, as you note, it goes one note further, which looks odd. In
this case, the reason for this behaviour seems to be that this is the
last syllable in your lyrics. The docs state that the extender goes
between a syllable and the next one. This does seem to be a minor bug,
though, which may not be of practical consequence, since the case in
your example is probably very rare in practice, but if it's a bug, it
should nevertheless be looked into.
Thirdly: there is a way around this, if you desperately want the
lyrics to end with an extender while there is still music left: use a
phrasing slur "a\( a\)" instead of the tie "a ~ a". That way, the
notes will be counted as two syllables, and when the extender
stretches "too far" it will still stretch only as far as you want it.
Lastly: watch your mouth; your lyrics aren't exactly appropriate for
such a splendid piece of software, are they ;-)

Well, why don't you use your divine influence and

I beg your pardon General Solo, but that just
wouldn't be proper.

Proper???

Aha, there should be a space there, okay. :-) Thanks! But one more thing.
That underscore thing in the notation thing, I want it to be shorter. It
streches so long to other notes. For example, in this code, the underscore
between the word "och" streches to E. I just want it to stretch to under the
second A there.

Beginner question
Okay, my musical terms and english isn't good but I will try to explain my problem. I like to have lyrics to the notes and I'm learning this right now in Lilypond. If I want one word to sing in two different notes for example, the notes should be tied of course. But I also want something like an underscore after the word to show the reader that it shall be singed for a long time. Is this possible in Lilypond? An example in an image. The word "och" in this image have some underscore after it: http://www.bellman.net/noter/fs64.gif -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Beginner-question-tf4728652.html#a13520911 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Lilypond-unstable will get you version 2.5.0-1. To get the new package version, Jim should issue the command "fink self-update". This will update the fink software if there is a newer version and update all of the package descriptions. Then issue "fink list" to verify that the newer version will be installed. Finally issue "fink install lilypond" to update the lilypond installation to the newer version. Jim, just as a word of advice I have found that it is better to use one of the templates found in the documentation rather than typing in the file from scratch. Good luck.

Re: Absolute Beginner Question: Error messages
The getting started instructions you found on the web page
are for version 2.4.x of LilyPond. Since you installed an
earlier version, the syntax should be a bit different.
Please read the tutorial for your version, to find examples
that are relevant for you.

have successfully (I believe) installed Lilypond on my Mac G5 running

I created a file, per the instructions on the site, for test.ly The file
contains the following

Saved it as Western ASCII on my desktop
Opened a terminal window and typed: lilypond test

I am totally flummoxed. Tried retyping it and nothing seems to work. I
typed the string exactly as shown on the Lilypond web page (didn’t I?).
Thank you in advance for the benefit of your expertise.
