Custom note heads
Hello, I've been asked to write some scores with custom note heads. These heads are designed for beginners. I know that the Emmentaler font contains some special heads but I don't know how to add new shapes. I found this question at Stackoverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47341754/lilypond-custom-global-note-heads. But this doesn't work, even if I add a file g.eps I get the error Preprocessing graphical objects...C:/Program Files (x86)/LilyPond-2.19-65/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/stencil.scm:987:26: In procedure list-ref in expression (list-ref bbox 2): C:/Program Files (x86)/LilyPond-2.19-65/usr/share/lilypond/current/scm/stencil.scm:987:26: Wrong type argument in position 1: #f How can I define my own custom note heads? I don't prefer EPS in this field, can be any graphic file other format. Or these other way round: At http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/note-heads is a Ez_numbers_engraver. Can this be modified to do the work? Best regards Helge ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: Custom note heads
Hi Helge, What sort of shapes do you want? Can you supply an illustration? [A MGE - minimal graphic example!] You can use graphic files, or you can write Scheme to generate custom postscript paths. The latter can be very complex, but is of course very powerful. or you can use path construction commands for the stencil of the notehead. There are quite a few examples on LSR of how to make different shape noteheads. You may find id 891 to be the simplest, avoiding postscript (which has some disadvantages in relation to SVG output if you need that).

Thank you Harm for your fix, it works!
Just in case other lilypond beginner want to try it, here it is the
detailed instruction to get the circus note heads example on *windows 10*.
1 Download CircusNoteheads.otf font attached to this mail
2 Install the font: locate the file, right click on it and select "install"
from the context menu
3 Download HappyBirthday-CircusNotehead.ly code attached to this email
Then compile the lilypond file etc. etc.
I also attached the resulting pdf.

defining custom note heads
is there a way to define or import custom note heads? i'm interested in using specific symbols to indicate rhythmic notation in hand drumming. a picture of the symbols that i'd like to use for note heads is attached. sadly this image wasn't created in lilypond, but i figure it ought to be possible. thanks, -brian <>___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: defining custom note heads
I was searching how to do the same thing and found this thread.
I know this is an old post, but following the example of Lilypond
documentation for using numbers instead of note names, I created the
following snippet to show custom note names:
#(define Note_name_engraver_pt
(make-engraver
(acknowledgers
((note-head-interface engraver grob source-engraver)
(let* ((context (ly:translator-context engraver))
(note-names
(vector '"dó" '"ré" '"mi" '"fá" '"sol" '"lá" '"si")))
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'note-names note-names))
Since I am not a programmer , certainly there is a better way to do that,
but at least it works for me. Kept here for reference

Re: defining custom note heads
Hello Brian,
There are two things you need to do to create arbitrary noteheads from
within lilypond:
1. change the NoteHead stencil to the text interface:
\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
2. define the text attribute of the NoteHead. you can put any markup
command you want. The easiest thing to do is to simply call a
musicglyph, as in the example below. With musicglyph you can use any
of the feta font glyphs:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/The-Feta-font#The-Feta-font
But you can also draw lines, circles, etc. basically anything you can
do in a markup. See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond/Text-markup-commands#Text-markup-commands
% START %
\version "2.11.45"
headCircle = {\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = #(markup
#:musicglyph "scripts.flageolet" ) }
headPlus= {\once \override NoteHead #'stencil =
#ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = #(markup #:musicglyph
"scripts.stopped")}
{
\headCircle
c'4
\headPlus
d'4
% normal
e'4
}
% END %
You can also import eps files...
headEPS = \once \override NoteHead #'text = #(markup #:epsfile 2 1.3
"image_dir/image.eps")
but this is not very efficient as the resulting PDF may grow very
large. Also, compilation takes long, don't know why.
hope this is useful,
Victor.

You have it working correctly. when you have #(markup #: whatever
markup) that's just the scheme way of calling a markup.

Re: defining custom note heads
Hello Eric,
here are a few more examples.
The first (headCircle) is the one I had given before. It just calls
musicgryph inside a markup.
The second (headTriW) just draws a triangle. Notice how you can set the size
with the fontsize command.
The third (headXinD) combines (with the combine directive) a drawn circle
(draw-circle) with a mysicglyph.
Notice how "halign" and "lower" are used to move things around.
Hope these help,
Victor.

Re: defining custom note heads
Thanks, Victor! I see the correct syntax now and I have it working.
This is really great, I've been trying to do this for a long time.

Re: defining custom note heads
I have one more piece of the puzzle to solve. How do you translate
this markup command into scheme?
\draw-line #'(4 . 4)
Some of the markup commands call for pairs of numbers. I can't find
any docs for how the pairs are coded in scheme.
Thanks,
-Eric

'(4 . 4) is a Scheme pair; the hash sign tells LilyPond's parser that
there's some Scheme code coming up.
There's a short tutorial here,
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-learning/Scheme-tutorial#Scheme-tutorial,
which explains how Scheme data types are used in LilyPond.
BTW, it's an unnecessary complication to use Scheme markup syntax for
simple 'text overrides; you'll find it much easier if you stick to
LilyPond's standard \markup usage.
For example:
headXinD = {
\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = \markup {
\combine
\halign #-0.7 \draw-circle #0.85 #0.2 ##f
\musicglyph #"noteheads.s2cross"
}
}

Neil

Re: defining custom note heads
Thank you, Neil. That is a very good point and I'm now switching to
standard \markup usage. An thanks to everyone who chimed in here. I
have been trying to develop a way to notate for my instrument, the
Chapman Stick, for a long time. I really made a big leap today.

Custom note heads in multi-staff documents
Hey all,
I'm working on a piece that uses a fair bit of spoken text.
The best solution I've found so far to typeset X amount of spoken text in
measure Y is :
\version "2.14.0"
textnote =
#(define-music-function (parser location music marky) (ly:music? markup?)
#{
\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = $marky
$music
#})
#(define-markup-command (hD layout props) () (interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:hspace 5)))
\new Staff {
\textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Attention \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. }
\textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Today's \hD Blue \hD Light }
\textnote b'1 \markup { special \hD can \hD be \hD found \hD in }
\textnote b'1 \markup { asile \hD seven. \hD \hD }
\textnote b'1 \markup { Asile \hD seven, \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. }
}
So far so good. However, as soon as a second staff is added, the spacing goes
out of whack.
\version "2.14.0"
textnote =
#(define-music-function (parser location music marky) (ly:music? markup?)
#{
\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override NoteHead #'text = $marky
$music
#})
#(define-markup-command (hD layout props) () (interpret-markup layout props
(markup #:hspace 5)))
<<
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 40 a8
}
\new Staff {
\textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Attention \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. }
\textnote b'1 \markup { \hD \hD Today's \hD Blue \hD Light }
\textnote b'1 \markup { special \hD can \hD be \hD found \hD in }
\textnote b'1 \markup { asile \hD seven. \hD \hD }
\textnote b'1 \markup { Asile \hD seven, \hD K-Mart \hD shoppers. }
}
>>
I'm not sure how to get the spacing of the first example while keeping the
multi-staffitude of the second example. For the geeks on the list,
ly:text-interface::print is registered as a pure print callback, so it should
get fed just fine into the horizontal spacing engine in both examples.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to:
(1) A better way to do this; and/or
(2) If there is no better way, how to fix the horizontal spacing problem above?

MS

Mike, this might be an a more promising approach:
<<
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 20 \skip 4
}
\new Lyrics
\with {
\override VerticalAxisGroup
#'nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing = #'((padding . -3))
}
\lyricmode {
\skip 4 Attention4 K-Mart4 shoppers.4
\skip 4 Today's4 Blue4 Light4
special1*1/5 can1*1/5 be1*1/5 found1*1/5 in1*1/5
aisle4 seven.4 \skip 2
Aisle4 seven,4 K-Mart4 shoppers.4
}
\new Staff {
\repeat unfold 40 a'8
}
But being able to space a spoken phrase evenly between
two end points would be a welcome enhancement.

This works very well - thanks! I agree about you with the enhancement, but I'd
have to mull over how that'd work with horizontal spacing.

Just a follow up: I've been using this to achieve the above effect and it works
like a charm.

I'll throw it up on the LSR.
