Re: sponsorship offer: \lyricsto with \partcombine
Citerar Ted Walther [EMAIL PROTECTED]: To typeset hymns with the same high quality that lilypond brings to other areas of music typesetting, I need to be able to use \lyricsto with \partcombine. What exactly do you want to do? If you want to align one lyric line to one voice, and another lyric line to another voice, then you can do something like: \partcombine \sopNotes \altoNotes \new Devnull=sop \sopNotes \lyricsto sop \sopLyrics \new Devnull=alto \altoNotes \lyricsto alto \altoLyrics Also, what would it cost to make the chord-threshold variable in part-combiner.scm/dtermine-split-list be settable inside a .ly file? A rewrite of partcombiner is on the todo. You can copy all the code from part-combiner.scm into your ly file, all you need to do is to add a # before each toplevel expression to make lily understand it. (you'll also have to re-define \partcombine etc. to make them use the new definitions) Erik ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: sponsorship offer: \lyricsto with \partcombine
The problem is the alignment (centered or not) of syllables to note heads.
Compare the 2nd and 4th line of lyrics in the following example:
textI = \lyricmode {a4 bb ccc ddd }
textII = \lyricmode {eee fff gg h }
music = \relative c'{c d e f}
\score{
\new Voice = m \music
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m \textI
\new Lyrics \lyricsto m \textII
\new Devnull = dn \music
\new Lyrics \lyricsto dn \textI
\new Lyrics \lyricsto dn \textII
% \new Lyrics \textI
% \new Lyrics \textII
% \new Lyrics {\set associatedVoice = m \textI }
% \new Lyrics {\set associatedVoice = m \textII }
}
\layout{ragged-right = ##t }

If you want to align one lyric line to one voice, and another lyric line to
another voice, then you can do something like:
\partcombine \sopNotes \altoNotes
\new Devnull=sop \sopNotes
\lyricsto sop \sopLyrics
\new Devnull=alto \altoNotes
\lyricsto alto \altoLyrics

The lyric engraver/iterator combo could then try a second context if the first one is inactive. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen LilyPond Software Design -- Code for Music Notation http://www.lilypond-design.com ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

You need to get the value out of the parser (use ly:parser-lookup), which is supplied as an argument to the \partcombine function.

sponsorship offer: \lyricsto with \partcombine
To typeset hymns with the same high quality that lilypond brings to other areas of music typesetting, I need to be able to use \lyricsto with \partcombine. If you think you can make these two functions play together, please let me know what you estimate it would cost. I'm not rich, but this is important to me. Also, what would it cost to make the chord-threshold variable in part-combiner.scm/dtermine-split-list be settable inside a .ly file? As Bret Whissle found out 2 years ago, the threshold of 8 is too small for hymn typesetting, but 12 works very nicely.
