gregorian chant improvement

2006-03-27 Thread Elie Roux
Hello, I'm working on gregorian chant reprensentation for a project student in a graduate ingeneering school in France, and I have had a lot of discussion with a monk on it. My aim is to improve gregorian chant representation in free softwares for monk to use it. I read the latest version of the

Page and line penalties

2006-03-27 Thread Joe Neeman
As far as I can tell, page and line penalties are used _only_ for forbidding and forcing page breaks. Is there much chance they will ever be used for anything else? If not, they could be replaced by booleans - this would make the breaking algorithms a bit easier. Also, there seems to be some

I don't really understand what you mean. If you don't want any connection between the lyrics and the notes, just skip \lyricsto and specify the duration of each syllable. If you want information from the lyrics to affect the notes, then you would still have to specify the duration of each

lilypond-book and included files

Lilypond-book doesn't seem to understand the include structure very well. That is, it's using the included files, but doesn't seem to know that it needs to rebuild the snippets if you change an included file. I'm working around this by removing all the snippets when I change anything, but

Lily2.8.0-5 on Windows

2006-03-27 Thread J L
Hi, I've just upgraded to version 2.8.0-5 on Windows. Firstly, it seems to be slower than the 2.7.x series, about the same speed as the old 2.6.x series. Secondly, could a compressed archive of the files installed by the installer be added as a target of the GUB? Alternatively, an option

Postscript Backend patches with lines fixed (hopefully)

It looks like my email client messed up the lines on the patches I sent in. I'm trying again with a different one. Hope this works. I also attached the patches, just in case. Note: I'm pretty sure these changes won't break CID fonts, but it'd be a good idea to double check that. David Feuer

Manual tie formatting, slight inconsistency

I am personally extremely grateful for all of the great changes in LilyPond's tie formatting code during these last many months: both the improvements in the default tie formatting and especially the new ability to override the default formatting with manual adjustments. I have thought of an

Improvements to Postscript backend (patches included)

I made some changes to the Postscript backend, making the output more readable (especially for text), around 10% shorter, and, at least in theory, also faster to interpret. These changes are just a start, but I hope they help. I'd like to know if it might be possible to make the backend work

Yes, this looks better. Now, that we have barAlways = ##t, we can also drop these dMinima etc. definitions. I also set the \version to 2.8.0 (just looks nicer in the source). Result is attached. I think it's still not perfect, but much better than what is currently in the docu. Graham,

Good news: As of yesterday, there is an ebuild for 2.8.0 in Gentoo portage. Previously, the latest versions were 2.4.2 and 2.5.2. It's good not to have to roll my own ebuilds anymore. All Gentoo Lilypond users who update their systems regularly will see this if they have the unstable flag

I've tweaked it by adding a little more to the minimum length of the stem. The Franck output is unchanged, I've attached the new Tchaikovsky output. Very nice! Oh, and I remembered a ChangeLog entry this time :) Please add it just to the mail and don't include it into the diff directly.
