Re: Still struggling to understand Lilypond 2.23.10 segno repeats

2022-07-23 Thread Kenneth Wolcott
HI Jean;

  As always, thank you very much for this help.

  I saw the documentation that you pointed out already, but I just
couldn't seem to grasp how to apply it to my situation.  Sometimes I
think the documentation is too "MWE" :-)

  I will study this and try to understand it to the point where I can
apply it to the other pieces that I have which these kinds of repeats
without having spoon-feeding assistance.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi;

  I have a piece of music ("Can You Feel the Love Tonight") which I am 
trying to engrave using Lilypond 2.23.10.


  I have (mostly) succeeded in engraving this with Lilypond 2.22.2, 
but the many directives regarding the Coda and DS look awful.


So, I tried using the \repeat segno feature, which almost looks 
correct, but I have problems understanding how to glue in the Coda 
part (is that like a volta?).


Could someone clue me in on the Lilypond syntax that I am missing so 
that the pdf looks right and the midi sounds right?


Kenneth,

There is an example with an al coda repeat here:

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/long-repeats.html#segno-repeat-structure

The syntax is

\repeat segno 2 {
  
  \alternative {
    \volta 1 {
  
    }
    \volta 2 \volta #'() {
  \section
  \sectionLabel Coda
    }
  }
  
}

Attached is your file amended to use this syntax.

To be precise, LilyPond-command-lilypond is the (Lisp) function
that runs LilyPond on the file. You can run it with M-x 
LilyPond-command-lilypond

(like any Lisp function), and by default it is bound to C-c C-l.
LilyPond-lilypond-command is a variable, the name of the command
to be used by LilyPond-command-lilypond. It is declared as a "Custom
variable", so you can modify it using the Custom interface.


Anyway, thanks for all your help.  It looks as if I now have Lilypond 
up and running again.


You're welcome.

I should think that most users only use one version at a time, unless

There are also those who write lots of scores in one stable

next stable version even if they use the new version for new
scores.



I think you are overcomplicating things by trying to mimic
the previous installation process with the new binaries.
Changing /usr/local/ is normally done by package managers
and dedicated tools, not by hand. If you don't know what
you're doing there, don't touch it. (This kind of advice applies
to any command using sudo, actually.)


I merely moved the new installation to the place where it would have 
been put by the script, had there been one.  I have successfully 
administered my own Linux boxes for the last 20 years or so without 
any major mishaps...



Instead, follow these simple steps. (I agree that _finding_ them
is not simple, but again it will eventually be in the learning
manual, with screenshots. That change has landed and will appear
in the next release.)

1. Download the archive.
2. Unpack it.
3. Move the lilypond-2.23.10 directory inside it in your
    home folder.
4. In your .emacs, change the path in (expand-file-name ...)
    to "~/lilypond-2.23.10/share/emacs/site-lisp".

And that's all.


Thanks for those clear instructions.  And having set up an alias, as

I often do.


My usual work pattern is to edit .ly files etc. in emacs, and then to 
use the Lilypond-mode command C-c C-l or C-c C-f to produce a PDF or 
Postscript file.  Unfortunately I found that this now just produces an 
error message, such as:


lilypond /home/david/Cloud/LilyPond/test.ly
/bin/bash: line 1: lilypond: command not found

An alias only has effect in the shell, not on the system
in general. You'd need to set up actual scripts in a place
where they will be found. One way to do so is to add
symlinks in a directory that is on your PATH, like ~/bin.

ln -s /path/to/lilypond-2.23.10/bin/* ~/bin

Though, in my opinion, the best way is to actually point
your editor to the executable, see below.



If somebody can suggest how I get emacs-mode Lilypond-command-lilypond 
and Lilypond-command-formatps to work, it will be very much 
appreciated, as always.



Try this:

Edit any .ly file in Emacs

M-x customize-variable

In minibuffer, enter 'LilyPond-lilypond-command'

A customization screen appears, click on the arrow on the
left to expand the variable. On the right, write the full
path to LilyPond:

/.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond

Now C-x C-s to save, and q to quit Custom.

After that, try C-c C-l on the .ly file. It should
be compiled with the lilypond executable you specified.

I take the liberty to add my 2 cts.

It's a great advantage having dropped GUB (which produced the
installers) it was a maintaining nightmare.

Though, I miss the installer, too.
The installer put several scripts in my bin-folder pointing to entries
of /lilypond/bin (I'm on Linux, lilypond 2.23.9 for now):
abc2ly  convert-ly  etf2ly  lilypond  lilymidi  lilypond-book
lilypond-invoke-editor  lilysong  midi2ly  musicxml2ly
They worked out of the box.

With current archive I need to care myself, i.e. invoking above with
correct pathes or creating scripts myself.

>From a users point of view, it's more work.

So, I understand both sides

At the moment I am testing it on a short file - in fact, your

 This is very unsatisfactory.



I can't explain this without further info -- was the directory where
you installed LilyPond clean before?

See below though.


No, I have never used a distro version of Lilypond.  Until this time, 
I have always used a script downloaded from the Lilypond website.  I 
install Lilypond globally (although I am the only user of this 
computer), and the script chooses to put things where they now are.  I 
always thought /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/ was an odd 
place to put it, but that wasn't my choice.


When I moved 2.23.10 from my home folder, I intentionally put it in 
the same place as previous versions have been on my previous Ubuntu 
installations, hoping this would increase the chances of it actually 
working.  On this current OS version, I have not actually had any 
previous versions of Lilypond, which is why I needed to install it 
again now.


In my .emacs file I have:

Yes, all new versions of LilyPond will use this packaging. Getting
rid of the .sh script was not the only change; it was actually a
wholesale switch to a new compilation system, which is now 100×
simpler and more reliable, and now creates static binaries. Before,
a .sh installer was required, because once installed the binaries
couldn't be moved around. Now that they can, it is just unnecessary.

Not having a .sh installer has other advantages, too. It avoids
conflicts with distro packages. It makes the installation process
exactly the same across all OSes. It prevents people from shooting
themselves in the foot by not realizing that several versions of
LilyPond can be installed in parallel.

I think you are overcomplicating things by trying to mimic
the previous installation process with the new binaries.
Changing /usr/local/ is normally done by package managers
and dedicated tools, not by hand. If you don't know what
you're doing there, don't touch it. (This kind of advice applies
to any command using sudo, actually.)

Instead, follow these simple steps. (I agree that _finding_ them
is not simple, but again it will eventually be in the learning
manual, with screenshots. That change has landed and will appear
in the next release.)

1. Download the archive.
2. Unpack it.
3. Move the lilypond-2.23.10 directory inside it in your
   home folder.
4. In your .emacs, change the path in (expand-file-name ...)
   to "~/lilypond-2.23.10/share/emacs/site-lisp".

And that's all.

Best,
Jean

Yes, this worked - thank you.

I am used to a new installation of Lilypond taking some considerable
time to compile the first time - presumably because it needs to do some
general compilation and housekeeping to get itself organized.
 Subsequently it then takes a relatively short time, depending on the
complexity of the Lilypond source it is compiling.

At the moment I am testing it on a short file - in fact, your "grow-in-
up-direction" example from the Extending Lilypond document.  Compiling
it is taking over 80 seconds each time; after the first time, I would
expect a file like this to take only 3 or 4 seconds.  This is very
unsatisfactory.

No, I have never used a distro version of Lilypond.  Until this time, I
have always used a script downloaded from the Lilypond website.  I
install Lilypond globally (although I am the only user of this
computer), and the script chooses to put things where they now are.  I
always thought /usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/lilypond/ was an odd place
to put it, but that wasn't my choice.

When I moved 2.23.10 from my home folder, I intentionally put it in the
same place as previous versions have been on my previous Ubuntu
installations, hoping this would increase the chances of it actually
working.  On this current OS version, I have not actually had any
previous versions of Lilypond, which is why I needed to install it
again now.

In my .emacs file I have:

;;for Lilypond mode
(setq load-path (append (list (expand-file-name
"/usr/local/lilypond/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp")) load-path))
(autoload 'LilyPond-mode "lilypond-mode" "LilyPond Editing Mode" t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ly$" . LilyPond-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.ily$" . LilyPond-mode))

So yes, clearly Lilypond mode is working now because I have installed
Lilypond where the .sh script would have put it.  I can also see that I
can easily work round this by editing my .emacs file, if I decide to
put Lilypond somewhere else (e.g. my home folder).

Alternatively, you could just set up an alias, like:

$ alias lilypond='/…/lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond'

in ~/.bashrc (or use whatever command name you wish).

Those paths look odd. /usr/local should only contain the directories
bin  etc  games  include  lib  man  sbin  share  src
and /usr/local/bin/ is typically placed at the start of your $PATH
for you by your distribution. I don't know where /usr/local/lilypond/usr/
came from, but the rest of the path, share/lilypond/2.23.10/…, does
look like something unpacked from the .tar.gz file.

You haven't diagnosed why the dates have become screwed up,
so I would assume that your tree of files is now damaged.

Rather than mess with touch, I would remove the whole tree, clean up
all the various links you made, and then unpack the .tar.gz file
again, as suggested above. Unpacking it in ~/lilypond-2.23.10/
would be fine, and an alias will save some typing.

As for lilypond-mode in emacs, I would imagine that you haven't
yet carried out the instructions in §4.2 Text editor support
in the Usage manual, so emacs can't find the mode.

If your response is that it used to work, then I would wonder
whether you used to have a distribution-supplied version of
lilypond installed, and emacs was relying on that. In other
words, it was relying on lilypond*.el files in locations like
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/ and /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/
(or similar names), instead of those from any of the downloaded
versions you've installed/unpacked in the past.

You just extract it somewhere and it becomes usable as

Here is my CLI LilyPond script:

### Start script
#!/bin/bash

LY_HOME="${LY_HOME:-/path/to/your/lilypond-2.22.2/bin}"
$LY_HOME/lilypond $@
### End script

I put this script in my local bin directory.  It uses the LY_HOME
variable (not official or anything).  If you set it before you run the
script, it will use your set LY_HOME.  Otherwise, it will default to
/path/to/your/lilypond-2.22.2/bin.

I moved the 2.23.10 folder to my home folder.  I tried making soft and

You just extract it somewhere and it becomes usable as

/.../lilypond-2.23.10/bin/lilypond file.ly

 Then I have to download the docs.



They're at the very bottom of this page:

https://lilypond.org/development.html

(the link "Doc tarball for LilyPond 2.23.10").


SInce I only want Lilypond at the moment to try out things from your 
wonderful "Extending Lilypond" document, I decided to install version 
2.23.6.  This still has the nice simple installation script, which I 
used to install Lilypond and grab all the docs as well - even my 
existing bookmark for the docs in Firefox just works!



I'd recommend 2.23.10 -- if you ask questions on the list,
most people will be using either the latest stable version
or the latest unstable version, so that using either of these
two versions eases the process of checking that a code snippet
will work with your version.


Incidentally, my system has Guile 3.0 installed, and I see that 
Lilypond comes with 2.2.  I don't have 1.8 anywhere on the system, but 
when I type 'lilypond' it reports:


GNU LilyPond 2.23.6 (running Guile 1.8)

I assume that this is just a trivial correction that is needed in the 
code somewhere.



No, it really means your LilyPond is running Guile 1.8.
2.23.6 was a very special release, as it is the one where
we started the final Guile 2.2 transition. This release
was "dual": the binaries that you could download from
lilypond.org use Guile 1.8, but those from
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases
use Guile 2.2.

This release allowed us to test there were no major problems
with Guile 2.2 remaining, so in the following release, 2.23.7,
support for Guile 1.8 has been dropped, only Guile 2.2 binaries
have been provided, they were on GitLab, and the links on
lilypond.org just redirected to GitLab.

Best,
Jean

Indeed. And the stable Usage (2.22.1-1) mentions five backends:
ps, eps, null, scm and svg, whereas the preview section mentions
six, not including null: pdf, png, ps, eps, svg and scm.

Unstable's (2.23.10) backends are reduced to ps and svg, but the
preview section remains unchanged in Usage.

Cough cough.

git show release/2.21.0-1:Documentation/usage/running.itely

[...]

@item null
Do not output a printed score.  This has the same effect as
@code{-dno-print-pages}.

Will it be removed too in the future?



I can't speak for future developers of LilyPond. On
the other hand, unlike -dbackend=null, -dno-print-pages
is documented with an explanation of its use case (not
outputting the "main" PDF when using -dcrop or -dpreview),
so it certainly won't be removed as a mere cleanup.

I just used -dno-print-pages as an alternative, and it works.
Will it be removed too in the future?

thanks

Hello,

Please keep the list posted.

Have you tried -dwarning-as-error? That makes LilyPond stop on the first 
error or warning encountered.

It Is very useful when I have to quickly correct syntax errors on a code
that doesn't compile: given that It doesn't produce output, It shortens the
time required for compiling. Is there an alternative that I can use?

The ‘null’ backend was originally a quick hack for benchmarking. It was no 
longer useful and has been removed. What was your use case for it?

LilyPond 2.23.10

2022-06-26 Thread Jonas Hahnfeld via LilyPond user discussion
We are happy to announce the release of LilyPond 2.23.10. This is
termed a development release, but these are usually reliable. However,
if you require stability, we recommend using version 2.22.2, the
current stable release.

As a reminder, the official binaries can be downloaded from GitLab:
https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/releases/v2.23.10
We provide packages for macOS ("darwin"), Linux, and Windows ("mingw")
that only need to be extracted (no installation as in older versions).
