graphics gripe
Hi all, I am trying to add lilypond output into scribus, my first choice would have been scribus, but scribus doesn't like lilypond svgs? My next choice is png but scribus complains they are to low resolution. so: 1. could someone else try an svg from lilypond and see if it works for them in scribus? If not this might be a bug. 2. is there a way to pass resolution parameters to the backend that is making the png files? thanks Aaron __ Yahoo!

I don't fully understand what you want, but if it's just that you need to import lilypond's output into scribus, then you can always import pdf or ps. And for png resolution: AFAIK, pngs are created from ps output, using gs. If you use lilypond --verbose, you'll see the actual gs command. You can change resolution by playing around with the parameters. -- Erik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You can use lilypond --png -dresolution=110 to get a 110DPI png image (Lilypond manual, section 5.2). Just adjust the resolution value accordingly. -- Kris Shaffer graduate student in music theory, Yale University co-editor-in-chief for music theory, AmSteg.org www.shaffermusic.com On Mon, 19 Sep 2005 11:49:06 -0400, Erik Sandberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 19 September 2005 16.21, Aaron Mehl wrote: Hi all, I am trying to add lilypond output into scribus, my first choice would have been scribus, but scribus doesn't like lilypond svgs?

If not this might be a bug. 2. is there a way to pass resolution parameters to the backend that is making the png files? Two things I recently found out about SVG: 1. Since every implementation of an SVG renderer is different, since the SVG standard is a bit fluid, and since Lilypond SVG output is necessarily complex, the developers have settled upon Inkscape as the SVG renderer/editor that they will target. Single-page (see item 2 below) Lilypond SVG output is openable in Inkscape. Possibly Inkscape could save it in a format that other SVG renderers are happier with... I haven't tried. 2. There is no SVG standard for multi-page documents, so multi-page Lilypond SVG output will not render correctly in any SVG renderer. In Inkscape, it will just overlap all the pages on a single page. Han-Wen has let it be known that the ability to burst pages for SVG output is a feature that would cost 80 EUR. I am planning on at least partially sponsoring this in a few weeks when I get some money, but if someone else wants to beat me to it, please be my guest... I have other features on my wish-list that I can devote my money to. --Daniel ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

Re: graphics gripe
Well I was hoping to get an svg that would import, then I could use it also in xml and xhtml etc. but inkscape does open the svg output. The scribus developers said that they tested my svg file and it was the problem. however I didn't check one without lyrics maybe that is the issue.

Re: graphics gripe
Yes I can now that I read erik's email, The lilypond file in scribus looked like a few files mashed together, which I understand now is because the svg doesn't support mutiple pages. they ran it through a parser and got errors, which I assume had to do with the multiple page issue. I tried however a smaller file and it still didn't look good in scribus. I wonder if there is a way to save it with better settings in inkscape so scribus will read it? In either case I have switched from png to pdf for scribus and for the time being it is a better choice. If I had any money I would gladly join in to sponser better svg support but there is little hope of that...
