Re: Contemporary Music Notation

2014-10-14 Thread Piaras Hoban
Thanks for all the interest!

I would hope to make whatever might be useful to others available. It would
be great to let other people work on this code as I'm sure much of it could
be improved.

Thus far this code has only been for my purposes so it is only designed to
work in the musical situations I encountered in my own work or study. It
would be amazing to see how (and if) it could be furthered with help from
the lilypond community.

As a starter, the main issue with a lot of these techniques at the moment
regards how line breaks are dealt with. Very often I'm using a custom
stencil to override the Glissando.stencil. Finding a smart way to split a
stencil would be a big step forward...

all the best,

piaras

 6) Interruptive polyphony

I'll give you a few places to start:

http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/formatting-text.html#graphic-notation-inside-markup
This shows how you can add graphical elements where you could use text.
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/graphic
This gives an impression what can be done here. Very important may be 
the \path, the \epsfile and the \postscript commands.


A nice thing about LilyPond's approach is that once you have invented 
something you can make it available as a command so it can easily be 
reused. You can also make such commands process arguments so they can be 
versatile and context-dependent.
As an example have a look at the attached image. This is what someone on

\stemmedGlissando #'(15 . #f) c'4

to tell LilyPond that the next glissando will have 15 stems and no (the 
#f) trailing grace note to indicate the target note.


http://lilypondblog.org/2014/04/using-special-characters-from-smufl-fonts/
This only deals with including glyphs from the SMuFL standard (which 
already gives a lot of useful symbols for contemporary notation), but it 
shows how you can replace default note heads with arbitrary elements 
(e.g. something you created with the above graphic commands).


http://lilypondblog.org/author/nsceaux/
although not dealing with contemporary notation these posts may also be 
of interest for you.


In general you should expect that it won't be an immediate success story 
for you if you have to learn LilyPond itself *and* the specific problems 
of contemporary notation in one step. But I can only recommend giving it 
a try and have some patience. Maybe you should *not* immediately start 
with a real-world project with a deadline ;-)


As I said things one defines can be made available as commands. And as 
such there is the inherent possibility to put them in a library.
You may have a look at https://github.com/openlilylib/openlilylib. This 
library could well use a contemporary-notation category, and if you 
should stick to the idea it would be possible to create a really useful 
library along with your learning experience.

Yes, this is a pity.



Please how can I learn to use Lilypond for write music using
Contemporary Music Notation?


I think the best way would be to come up with examples (how should
we know what you are interested in specifically?) and ask on this
list.
If you're not overdoing it (i.e. asking too many questions at a
time) you will probably get solutions, advice, but also an
impression about the (current) limitations.

Please don't be disappointed if it seems daunting at first. Even
if it is not always straightforward to get it right LilyPond
definitely is a good tool for doing non-standard notation too.

If you are seriously interested in the topic and stick to it for a
while we could also try to use your learning experience to provide
more documentation (be it in the manual or in other places). The
issue with these empty chapters seems to be that there is no clear
concept about what contemporary notation actually is.  If I have
a topic such as time administration it is quite clear what has to
be covered ...

Best wishes
Urs

In addition to what Urs shared, here are a couple of snippets from the LSR
that may be of interest:

http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=623
http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=891

Also, in LilyPond 2.19 there is a new command make-path-stencil that works
like make-connected-path-stencil but is more flexible (unconnected paths
are possible, paths don't have to start from (0 0), and they can use
relative coordinates).

Contemporary Music Notation

2014-10-08 Thread Marco Bagolin
Hello all,
I'm new Lilypond user and I am interested in Contemporary Music Notation.

I read all 2.8 Contemporary music manual section:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/contemporary-music
but lot of the chapters are empty and most of links are inactive.

Please how can I learn to use Lilypond for write music using Contemporary
Music Notation?

Thank you in advance for all your answer and help.

Regards
Marco Bagolin

Yes, this is a pity.

I think the best way would be to come up with examples (how should we 
know what you are interested in specifically?) and ask on this list.
If you're not overdoing it (i.e. asking too many questions at a time) 
you will probably get solutions, advice, but also an impression about 
the (current) limitations.


Please don't be disappointed if it seems daunting at first. Even if it 
is not always straightforward to get it right LilyPond definitely is a 
good tool for doing non-standard notation too.


If you are seriously interested in the topic and stick to it for a while 
we could also try to use your learning experience to provide more 
documentation (be it in the manual or in other places). The issue with 
these empty chapters seems to be that there is no clear concept about 
what contemporary notation actually is.  If I have a topic such as 
time administration it is quite clear what has to be covered ...


Best wishes
Urs

Could you send a PDF of the type of visual effect(s) you want to create?

Cheers,
