how to do this?

[Dario Marrini]

Hi lilypond people,

I need to write this (multiple bars with number )

[image: image.png]

but I can't find in documentation this kind of writing; then, I need to
know, if I write this in a single part score, may I get a full series of
empty bars in the complete score ?

thanks
  dario m.

Re: how to do this?

[Ralph Palmer]

Hi, Dario M. -

I don't know about the full score (I expect you have to put the rests in
each part), but for the empty measure rests, please see:

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.23/Documentation/notation/writing-rests#full-measure-rests

It’s here:

If the other parts in the full score have notes during those “compressed” 
rests, they will just be expanded as needed in the full score while remaining 
compressed in the individual parts. If for some reason you want to compress the 
rests in the parts but expand them in the full score *while they could be 
compressed* (i.e., all instruments have rests at that moment), then have a look 
at tags:

Hello again, Dario Marrini -

When you have a new question, it's preferable that you start a new thread -
just in case someone else later has the same question as you do.

That said, have you read the Learning Manual :

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/index.html

or the Notation Reference?

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/index.html

The Learning Manual gives you an excellent starting point, and the Notation
Reference probably answers most of your questions.

For Rehearsal Marks in the Notation Reference, see

https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/bars#index-rehearsal-mark

All the best,

Ralph

I assume you mean “progression”, right?

I don't remember how to do this ...

[Chip]

I have two trombone parts written in concert key - F Maj - and just 
realized that the notes are one step too high. I don't recall how to 
transpose a part without changing the key signature. If I recall 
correctly it involved two /transposes, is that right? Can someone help 
me? Here's how I lay out my code -


% -- Trombone 1--
tbonea = { all the notes of the piece }
trombonea = \relative c {
 \global
 \key f \major
 \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trombone 1"
 \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"Tbn 1"
 \clef bass
 << \tbonea >>
}

% -- Trombone 2--
tboneb= { all the notes of the piece }
tromboneb = \relative c {
 \global
 \key f \major
 \set Staff.instrumentName = #"Trombone 2"
 \set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #"Tbn 2"
 \clef bass
 << \tboneb >>
}

Thanks,
Chip

If I understood correctly, you just need to use "\transpose":

But if you also want to keep the same pitch (as without the transposition),
you also need "\transposition":

  \transposition bes { \transpose d c { \tboneb } }

Gilles

It's quite simple.  Just keep the transpose command after the key signature.

I'd suggest that you replace << \tboneb>> with

\transpose d c \tboneb

(You don't need the << >>, because you aren't setting parallel music, and I
think it's best not to have it, as it's not needed).

Thanks Carl,
That's what I needed. Has this been simplified in the last year or two? 
Seems I recall there was a need to use two /transposes in the past.

I don't think so.  I think that what you are remembering is the use of
\transpose and \transposition, which I don't really understand because I've
never used it.

Or it was me. If I'm going from treble clef to treble clef I use two 
transpositions.


One wrapped round the notes as entered to transpose them from Bb to 
concert, and the second wrapped round that to convert them back to Bb 
for printing.


Piece in treble clef Bb -
tbonea = transpose c bf, { all the notes of the piece }

That will then need a "transpose bf, c { \tbonea }" if I want to output 
music in treble clef.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but can't you just change the
key to G major and use a single transpose? If you've written it a step
too high it would be in G, so just tranpose it from there.

The only problem I can see is if you've used notes from F major
instead of G (i.e. you've flattened your B's but not sharpened your
F's). If that's the case I don't think the tranpose function will
help.

first repeat at low dynamic; next repeat at higher dynamic; how to do this for midi output?

[Kenneth Wolcott]

HI;

first repeat at low dynamic; next repeat at higher dynamic; how to do
this for midi output?

I thought I saw an email previously in this mailing list regarding
this subject; but I could not find it.

I think I know how to properly display a "p then f" or "p - f"
instruction at the beginning of a repeat, but how to generate the
distinct dynamic change in the midi output?  Just duplicate the
Lilypond code with the exception of the different dynamics?

  An example downloaded from 8notes.com is attached.

Thanks,
Ken Wolcott

<< \volta 1 \p
   \volta 2 \f

in the \midi section should likely work.

HI David;

  Thank you!

  Now what happens when I have multiple repeats with this situation?

Hi David;

  I must have misunderstood your suggestion :-(


  \midi {
\tempo 4=116
\volta 1 \p
\volta 2 \f
  }


  I'm using Lilypond 2.22.2, \volta inside \midi {} is not accepted by Lilypond:

Let me rephrase: "In the score part used for generating the MIDI, namely
the score containing a \midi output declaration."

Namely, << \volta 1 \p \volta 2 \f >> is placed in the location in the
score where you want to switch the dynamics.

HI David;

  I'm sorry that I'm so dense :-(

  I've searched the 2.22.2 documentation and I do not find a "\volta"
command referenced.

  I'll read your reply many times, ponder it and try to figure out why
I just don't get your very simple explanation, and experiment a lot,
maybe I'll get it.

Thanks,
Ken

You'll need a 2.23 version. \volta was added in 2.23.0.

Best,

[Kenneth Wolcott]

Thanks to you all for your forbearance with me.

Well, the answer is really obvious, of course :-)

It was pointed out to me privately that I wasn't taking advantage of
my own midi-specific variables that had the \volta implemented.

So using \rh_midi in place of \rh and  \lh_midi in place of \lh solved
the problem.

Sometimes I am totally blind and deaf to the obvious :-)

Thanks,
Ken
