eps file

[ming tsang]

Dear lilyponders,
How can I specify the eps file that will be recognized by the \markup - re
below lilypond code? The eps file is in my computer folder.
Shalom,
Ming

\markup {
  \general-align #Y #DOWN {
\epsfile #X #20 #"context-example.eps"
\epsfile #Y #20 #"context-example.eps"
  }
}

EPS file

[Nikolay Kirov]

Hello!

I have a specific question: How to split a EPS file, producing by LilyPond
For example:
http://nikolay.kirov.be/2010/folk/td_093_1_01.eps
I would like to cut  the file horizontally to obtain 2 files - one for the
text and one for the notes.

Can anybody help me?
Nikolay

Hello Ming!

Just put the name of the file either as absolute path or as relative path to 
your lilypond file instead of context-example.eps.

The sytax for \epsfile is
\epsfile axis size path
Where axis is the axis for scaling, size is the size of the end result along 
this axis and path is the path to the file.

Cheers,
Valentin

Hi Valentin,
Thank you for the info. But I have a hard time entering the file path name.
When I ran lilypond through frescobaldi v2.3.3, I got an error - see at the
end of the lily code. I have no idea what "ice-9 format" is.
Shalom,
Ming.

Hi Valentin,
I try another way to code eps file location path. I move the eps file to
the same folder of lily file.

Would it be practical to change your working directory to
c:\User\yming tsang\Documents\SNIPPET\, or wherever, before you run
LilyPond, so that you can use bare filenames, rather than absolute
paths? Doing that /might/ avoid these (frequent and long-standing)
problems you have with filenames on your system.

>From what gets mangled, I assume the space is causing more of a
problem than the length of the filenames.

BTW I can't help if the problem lies with Frescobaldi.

Cheers,
David.

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Hi Ming,

For the relative problem: Note that if you do not save the file Frescobaldi 
will save the file to a temporary location. This will change the working 
directory to that temporary location.

So unless you have the directory of your file in the includes relative paths 
you may only use relative paths with saved files.
(It might be a good thing to do a bug report for Frescobaldi. In this 
situation Frescobaldi might be expected to add the directory of the file to 
the Lilypond includes).

For your other error: That looks like a guile missconfiguration to me, or it 
may be some fundamental error in what appears to be dir-basename.

Try to run a file simply containing

#(display (version))

And check if the output contains a line like 1.8.8 at the end, or if there are 
different numbers.

Cheers,
Valentin

Hi Valentin Petzel:
Here is the file. I open the lily.scm with  miscrosoft notepad and save as.
Thank you very much Valentin and David for your patience and helpful hands.
Very much appreciated.

I would try using / instead of \ in the path specifications that you
use in filenames that are read by programs (ie LilyPond/Frescobaldi).
You might find that programs have been (sensibly) interpreting each \
as escaping the next character, and thereby generating a weird filename.

AIUI Windows is quite happy to use / as a path separator internally,
just not at the commandline. Microsoft's use of \ in DOS paths was a
well-intentioned hack that led to hell.

David.

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Ming,

David has correctly identified the problem. The Lilypond parser escapes guile 
string literals, so #"c:\U..." fails as \U is no escape sequence. So you need 
to escape each \ by writing \\ instead. As David has said, Lilypond might very 
well handle / instead of \.

Cheers,
Valentin

Re: eps file

Hello Ming,

just to be sure, you need to replace each \ with \\, not just the first one. 
You want #"c:\\User\\yming 
tsang\\Documents\\SNIPPET\\Untitled_draw-squibble-1.eps"
in total.

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello Ming.

I’ve noticed „yming tsang” is turned into „ymingt~1” in the path. From what 
I’ve tried through experimentation this is something done by Frescobaldi! 
(Lilypond works quite fine on such files with out the mangled names.)

This poses a problem if the filepath is used in formatting a string in guile, 
as ~... is used as placeholder. So at some point using epsfile require some 
sort of formatting, and then we get this error.

So we need to look into Frescobaldi, how frescobaldi handles filenames.

Cheers,
Valentin

So the file starts with 30 bytes of "garbage", which could be some
sort of header for some program of other. (The EPS is a piece of
clipart.)

Ah (again), I've just looked in more detail at the file. Buried under
the EPS layer is actually a TIFF image. So the program that groaned
waded through the PS part until it hit the II decimal42 TIFF header,
groaned some more about tags that it didn't understand, but happily
displayed the TIFF.

Upshot: at least try and find some test EPS file where the first
characters are something like:
%!PS-Adobe-3.0 EPSF-3.0
%%BoundingBox: 37 160 568 701
and see if that works.

Hello Ming.

I’ve noticed „yming tsang” is turned into „ymingt~1” in the path. From what
I’ve tried through experimentation this is something done by Frescobaldi!
(Lilypond works quite fine on such files with out the mangled names.)

This poses a problem if the filepath is used in formatting a string in guile,
as ~... is used as placeholder. So at some point using epsfile require some
sort of formatting, and then we get this error.

So we need to look into Frescobaldi, how frescobaldi handles filenames.

Yes, but why does this happen? This does not come from Windows, this comes

No, you used backslashes. But when you do get round to trying
forward slashes, don't double them.

Anyway, my previous post was overcomplicated. On the basis that your

found that I got exactly the same error message from stencil.scm:

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Hi Ming,
Have you already tried compiling from a saved document? As far as I can see 
this mangling only is done on unsaved documents. I can reproduce the issue 
with a path containing ~1, but only if the path to epsfile is absolute, and 
one on windows (on debian it just works fine).

I’m going to dive into the code of epsfile, maybe I’ll find something.
Cheers, Valentin

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Or maybe I can’t. The format-specific error appears to not come from epsfile, 
but from the Lilypond parser, so this means that the input is not correct. 
This happes with \ instead of \\ or /.

From the list-ref error I gathered:
eps-file->stencil reads the eps, discards anything after the first null 
character, and then calculates the dimesions of the eps. These dimensions are 
then accessed by list-ref. Now, if calculating the bounds fails (probably 
because the file does not have valid postscript code) this returns #f, so all 
the list-refs fail.

So you might want to check if your eps-file is in fact a valid eps file. Can 
you attach the eps file you’re using?

Valentin

Just for the record, I get the exact same error executing LilyPond

I took a look at the spec. The "junk" at the end, as I pointed out, is
a TIFF file. It's one of the four types of preview image allowed. When
you think about it (which I hadn't, because EPS files barely entered
any workflow of mine, years ago) wysiwyg people need an image to gaze
upon (TeX users are usually used to boxes), but they don't typically
have a PS interpreter built into the display program.

On account of Macs having a resource fork, PCs' EPS formats need an
indication of having a preview, and its location. The first four bytes
"c5 d0 d3 c6" is the correct magic to indicate this. The next byte is
the offset to %!PS-Adobe (leading zeroes following), and the rest is
lengths/offsets and a checksum (here,  ≡ ignore).

I would suggest that the OP rename the stripped file so that it is
easily distinguished from the larger version in the output.

I would also suggest filing a wishlist bug against LP, because it
would seem fairly straightforward for it to be able to handle EPS
files that contain preview images.

Cheers,
David.

I think it's clearer to write that you need "the full path" of your
file, rather than "the directory".

Having to write the full path into the unsaved source has the effect
of emphasising that these subsidiary files are compiled/included from
the *filesystem*. Having F~ handle all this automatically might leave
users with an impression that F~ is cleverer than it is, that it can
compile unsaved versions of included files (which I am led to believe
it can't).

I see lots of "1.8.7" in the OP's output. Is that wrong?

David.

Re: eps file

[Valentin Petzel]

Hello David,

No, that seems right. Lilypond is compiled against 1.8.7 on windows, and that 
makes no difference. I initially just thought that maybe it was compiled 
against the wrong guile version, which can lead to problems with specific 
functionality.

But we have determined that this issue (i.e. the format issue) comes from 
using unescaped \ in the Path, and it does come the parser.

For the other thing: This would be resolved if Frescobaldi were to add the 
path to the file into the lilypond include path when compiling such temporary 
files. I’ve filed a bug report against Frescobaldi suggesting such a thing.

Cheers,
Valentin

Re: eps file

Hello David,

It would not be hard to implement correct behaviour for this eps specification 
apart from how to exactly ensure that the bytes match up. The sensible thing 
would probably be to include functionality for lilypond to read a file into a 
byte array.

Hi there,

I'm not sure what you mean.  If you have an EPS file and from there you wish
to split up anything, just select all, "UNGROUP", and then drag/lasso-select
/only/ your text; drag it onto a new page, etc. or any other approach you
desire.

You could write a little parser for the EPS file - one that keeps all of the 
text, and one that doesn't.

The text is in lines looking like, for example:

/TimesNewRomanPSMT 4.33691406 output-scale div selectfont
1.3657 0. /afii10079
1.1267 0. /afii10065
1.1609 0. /afii10067
3 print_glyphs

It always starts with /TimesNewRomanPSMT, has X glyphs, and then finishes with 
X print_glyphs.

Then, depending on how fancy you want to get, you can modify the bounding box 
to be more snug around either the text or the music.

including eps file

[Orm Finnendahl]

Hi,

In lilypond 2.8.4 I'm trying to attach an eps file above a staff with
the \epsfile markup command. the eps file gets included, but seems to
be anchored to the bottom of the page instead of being related to the
staff no matter how I change the parameters of the markup.

I attach the lilypond file with a normal text markup to indicate,
where the eps graphic should appear and the eps file itself. Replacing
line 14 by line 15 in the lilypond source includes the eps file
anchored to the bottom of the page.

gv displays the graphic correctly (rotated by 90 degrees).

Another related question: How can I find documentation on the possible
values for the "axis" parameter of \epsfile? I guess it is something
like "horizontal" or "vertical" coded into an integer, but which one
is coded how? I often stumble across such definitions desperately
trying to find some description of the possible values of parameters
and always hope there is some place in the documentation which I'm not
aware of (and haven't encountered yet).

I suspect that one glyph or character was missing in a font somehow,
and fontconfig used a fallback font, which often is a CJK font, thus
the huge size.

Please bear in mind that EPS files as produced by LilyPond should be
run through ps2pdf to reduce the size *enormously* since LilyPond
doesn't do font subsetting.  Normally, even a 20MByte EPS condenses to
just a few kByte.

Yes, the eps file must be in the same directory as the ly file.


Or, perhaps, it's rather that it has to be in the working directory

example double-click on a file in Windows to process it.

You are not the first one to report problems with the \epsfile function, 
which seems to work well for certain kind of EPS files but not for 
others. I seem to remember that I briefly looked into the implementation 
a number of years back and that it was done exactly according to the

Postscript, here's something to look into.

\eps-file should be \epsfile (no dash).  After that, test.eps throws an

You are right, I misread the doc.
It didn't work because I set the size to 0 (in my mind it was the X

\markup {
 \epsfile #X #20 #"test.eps"

I'm curious to know: what's the unit of the size? (in this case #20)

Hi Federico,

The unit is the same as in markups command.
Try :

\version "2.19.46"

\markuplist {
  \epsfile #X #20 #"test.eps"
  \override #'(thickness . 5)
  \draw-line #'(20 . 0)

Hi,

In lilypond 2.8.4 I'm trying to attach an eps file above a staff with
the \epsfile markup command. the eps file gets included, but seems to
be anchored to the bottom of the page instead of being related to the
staff no matter how I change the parameters of the markup.


Strange, I can't really get anything to appear. Are you sure that this 
is a bonafide EPS file?  If in doubt, try with a normal EPS (eg. a PNG 
converted to EPS with convert or similar.)



I attach the lilypond file with a normal text markup to indicate,
where the eps graphic should appear and the eps file itself. Replacing
line 14 by line 15 in the lilypond source includes the eps file
anchored to the bottom of the page.

gv displays the graphic correctly (rotated by 90 degrees).

Another related question: How can I find documentation on the possible
values for the "axis" parameter of \epsfile? I guess it is something
like "horizontal" or "vertical" coded into an integer, but which one


X = 0 ,  Y = 1

Did you scroll down all the way to the bottom of the page? In the code
example only the eps gets displayed without the staff system (which
probably is shifted off the page).

I'm not sure as the file got generated by a selfmade lisp program, but
it gets opened and displayed by ghostview, Illustrator, Finale and
gimp without errors or warnings and convert doesn't complain
either. The postscript code is fairly straightforward, but I'm by no
means a postscript expert.

I did that just to be sure. Now lilypond gives the following error:

Thanks. That means, if aligned along the horizontal axis (parallel to

\epsfile #0 #5 #"part01.eps"

It seems that you used an EPS file that caused even larger problems, 
since ghostscript failed.



X = 0 ,  Y = 1


Thanks. That means, if aligned along the horizontal axis (parallel to

\epsfile #0 #5 #"part01.eps"

You can actually say

\epsfile #X ...

the axis is not about alignment, but rather about which dimension should

Use #X for #0 , as it's clearer.

I don't think so. The bounding box is a4 landscape wide (842) and 190
eps units high. That encloses the picture without any white space (at
least in my gv, gimp and convert renderings).

Hi,

I still couldn't get anywhere concerning the eps issue. I tried to
post the eps file which caused the error to the list, but since it is
a bitmap, it's too huge for the list. I also don't think it helps
trying to solve the lilypond error using a bitmap eps which will not
get used anyway.

Can anybody send an example of a markup using an eps file with
postscript drawing routines (e.g. a horizontal line running parallel
to the staff) and attach the eps file as well?

I'm sure I could get my files adapted once a working example is found.

Can you view the PS file with your regular GS ?

The GS error you get is from our bundled GS, which doesn't have a 
Times-Roman font.

generate eps file from frecobaldi

[WaiMing Tsang]

Hi lilyponders: To produce ‘EPS’ images;lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts myfile.ly How ro run the above from frecobaldi v3.13?  I do not know how to use command line with lilypond. Thank you for the help, Shalom,Ming Sent from Mail for Windows 

Single EPS file trimmed output

[Mauro]

Dear all,

I have a large repository of scores which are currently being built as 
eps documents using the following command:


lilypond -E -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts file.ly

This command, up to version 2.22, generates a single eps file (file.eps) 
trimmed down to just the size of the score.


I recently upgraded from lilypond 2.22.2 to 2.24.0 and the same command 
now produces a full-page output. After searching the lists and the 
documentation, I understand that I have to set 'use-paper-size-for-page' 
to false in order to get a trimmed down output, but I do not understand 
how to get a single eps file.


I have tried different combinations of command line args. I am only able 
to generate two output files (file.eps and file-1.eps), both of them 
identical and trimmed down, with the following command:


lilypond -E -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts 
-dno-use-paper-size-for-page demo.ly


Is this how it is supposed to work? Why is lilypond generating a second 
identical file with -1 suffix?


I could easily remove the second file (file-1.eps) in my build chain, 
but I wonder if I am missing something.


Thanks,

Mauro Levra


PS: Here is a tiny example:

\version "2.22.0"
% Set a custom size with the width I am
% interested in and hypothetical maximum height.
#(set! paper-alist (cons '("my size" . (cons (* 100 mm) (* 300 mm))) 
paper-alist))

\header { tagline = ##f }
\paper {
  #(set-paper-size "my size")
  #(define bottom-margin (* 0 cm))
  #(define left-margin (* 0 mm))
  #(define after-title-space (* 0 cm))
  #(define right-margin (* 0 cm))
  #(define top-margin (* 0 cm))
  #(define line-width (* 100 mm ))
}
\score{
  \relative c' { c4 d e2 | f4 g e2 | }
  \layout {
indent = #0
ragged-right = ##f
ragged-last = ##f
  }
}

One eps file per page

[Michael Käppler]

Hi,
I've read several articles on the list concerning the fact that
lilypond-book doesn't take the exact page spacing into account. Now I'm
experiencing the same problem and I wonder whether lilypond can't create
simply one eps file per page. lilypond -dbackend=eps -dno-gs-load-fonts
-dinclude-eps-fonts *.ly creates one file per page, but the spacing gets
lost. Do I have to extract the eps files from the pdf file lilypond
normally creates?

Greetz,
Michael

Re: generate eps file from frecobaldi

[Silvain Dupertuis]

Hello everyone,

This does not answer the question directly... but suggests a solution without 
command line.

It is indeed easy to create EPS and/or SVG files from the PDF using Inkscape. You can then 
edit the file, and choose any part you want to include. It works perfecty with PDF files 
produced by LilyPond.


As an example, in an ongoing project to test frequencies 
, I created 
a music sheet with Frescobaldi, saved it in PDF, and opend the PDF resulting file with 
Inkscape. Then I saved the parts I wanted as SVG (actually, optimized SVG) to include them 
as images in my web page (using this easy code : 


No need to use the command line to do that... I am sure you could do the same to create 
EPS image files (I did not test it, though).

Re: generate eps file from frecobaldi

[David M. Boothe, CAS]

I have always used Gimp to convert music PDFs to EPS, whether the PDF was
generated by Lilypond (via Frescobaldi) or by gabc. Here is a link to a
document I wrote several years ago detailing how to do that:
http://lakewoodsound.com/misc/pdf2eps-gimp.pdf

Hope this helps.

That means you convert a proper vector PDF into pixels. Don’t do that.

I'm not understanding what you're saying, could you say it a different
way?  Why would you use Frescobaldi to "run commandline for lilypond",
why wouldn't you just run from the command line?

output, but I do not understand how to get a single eps file.


I have tried different combinations of command line args. I am only 
able to generate two output files (file.eps and file-1.eps), both of 
them identical and trimmed down, with the following command:


lilypond -E -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts 
-dno-use-paper-size-for-page demo.ly


Is this how it is supposed to work? Why is lilypond generating a 
second identical file with -1 suffix?


I could easily remove the second file (file-1.eps) in my build chain, 
but I wonder if I am missing something.






There was a similar discussions last month:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2022-11/msg00047.html

In your example I would add a \pageBreak to get a better understanding 
of what lilypond does.
I cannot open EPS files currently, but as far as I can see from the 
file manager thumbnails the first file is the two page file, while 
-1.eps and -2.eps are the single pages. They are different:


$ ls -lh *.eps
-rw-r--r--. 1 fede fede 157K 29 dic 14.40 demo-1.eps
-rw-r--r--. 1 fede fede 156K 29 dic 14.40 demo-2.eps
-rw-r--r--. 1 fede fede 158K 29 dic 14.40 demo.eps

So, the EPS backend generates an EPS file with the whole document, plus 
one EPS file per page. In version 2.22 if the document had only one 
page, only a single EPS was generated. Right now, instead, if the 
document fits on one page, both file.eps and file-1.eps are generated.


I can live with that :) I will remove file-1.eps manually from the build 
output.


Thank you.

Wrong eps file with lily 2.6.3

[Anna Choma]

Hello,

I have problems with generting an eps file (small music fragments).
Usually, after generating the ps file using lilypond, I made the eps
file from the ps using eps2epsi program and the eps file was correct.
With the lilypond version 2.4.5 everything worked fine. But I have
also installed the 2.6.3 version of lilypond. When I process the *.ly
file with the newer lilypond, it creates a ps file, from which I can't
generate a correct eps file. The bounding box is incorrect (the notes
are beyond the box). Changing the box manually doesn't have any effect
either. When I switch to lily 2.4.5, everything works fine again. Does
anyone know why the 2.4.5 lilypond creates diifferent *.ps files from
the 2.6.3 lilypond? Why I can't use the ps2epsi with lily 2.6.3? I've
tried also ps2eps programm, it creates also wrong files (bad bounding
box).

Best reagards,

Anna Choma

Re: Alignement of an eps file

G_8 not complete in a small eps file

[Alexandros Droseltis]

Hello all!

[I am using GNU LilyPond 2.10.33 and I am a new user.]

I try to create a small example, in order to use it in a text document.
My lilypond file looks like this

%%
\version "2.10.33"

\paper{
indent=0\mm
line-width=100\mm
oddFooterMarkup=##f
oddHeaderMarkup=##f
bookTitleMarkup = ##f
scoreTitleMarkup = ##f
}

line = relative c
{
\clef "G_8" e f g a
}

\score{ \new Staff\line }
%%

and I give the command

lilypond -b eps -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts example.ly

In the result, the 8 under the clef is cut. I could not find how I could
solve this problem niftily. I would be grateful for any idea.

Best Regards

Alexandros

for me it looks ok with version 2.13.1 - maybe you should upgrade to a newer

Thank you for the answer. I updated to 2.13.1 and I find out, that there
is no option -b eps any more! Now I cannot create the small eps image at
all. [Of course, the pdf and the ps file looks fine, they looked fine
with the older version too; what happened to eps? :( ]

First, I recommend that you use 2.12, since 2.13 is the unstable
development version.  Note to other people who answer such emails:
let's not suggest that new users try the devel releases.

Second, please read the NEWS document for 2.12.  That will tell
you what you need to to other than -b eps.  You may also want to
look at AU 3.something (I think?)... it's the chapter about
lilypond-book.  At the end, it tells you how to produce eps for
use in other programs.

Cheers,
- Graham

would be lilypond -dbackend='eps' -dno-gs-load-fonts -dinclude-eps-fonts

That's interesting, I used lilypond -dhelp and chapter 3 of AU, which  
is about normal lilypond, AU 4 is on lilypond book. But AU 3 covers  
command line options, which succeded for my purposes.

2.13 is the development release, not the stable release.  The
syntax may change, and additional bugs may be introduced.  This
can be particularly confusing for new users -- if anything
changes, best to have it happen all at once between 2.12.x and
2.14.0, instead of spread throughout the 2.13 versions.

That's why I suggest that normal users stick to the stable
version.

- Graham

when i suggested to use a newer version i did not mean it has to be an
unstable version

in any case i believe that most lilypond users are able to take the risk -
or to decline it - of an instable release

speaking of the diagnostic process: if you hear something works under
specific circumstances you can narrow the search area - isn't that why you
are talking to others?

All 2.13 releases are unstable.  In version numbers 2.x, if x is
odd then it is unstable; if x is even then it is stable.

True, but this person specifically mentioned that he was a newbie.
In such cases, I recommend a stable (i.e. 2.12.x) version.

Yes, but when possible I prefer to avoid using newbies as test
subjects.  If I was talking to an experienced lilypond user, I
would certainly consider recommending 2.13.

Hmm, when I was a newbie at the end of 2007, I first downloaded 2.10.33, but 
after few days, I discovered the version I downloaded was not the latest. So I 
jumped to 2.11.34 immediately, regardingless whether it was stable or not. For 
me, I'm always keep up with the latest versions, although I am not a track and
