Install Problem windows

Hello! I'm totally new at this but I did have it run on Win XP. The tweak I did was: in Windows explorer - options - file types I associated .ly files with bash and not with Lilypond.exe so it worked for me.. may be it will help.. Best regards, Mehmet Okonsar, pianist-composer www.okon

Problem running lilypond

When I run test.ly, after apparently installing it correctly under Windows XP, no output is produced. The first time, it flashed error messages I couldn't read, but if I try to run it now, it just flashes a blank screen- no output. Also, no test.log is produced. The setup log is attached. Help- Wh

Hello list, Im new to lilypond, I saw the tutorial the other day and was gonna check it out this evening to start learning lilypond. Unfortunatly I get a 403 forbidden on all documentation directories now, a search of the lilypond-user arhive didn't bring up any particular reason so this is why I'm

Hello, sorry to occupy Your time. I have a problem with the instructions on http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/geometry/ . I have debian/woody and lilypond 2.4.2. I understand that there is a problem with the tex installation. I followed the steps on the CTAN page. The testfile

Lilypond installation problem

I am trying to download Lilypond for windows at work (where I have DSL), then save the 66mb download to cd as directory cygwin, then write cygwin to my c drive at home (where I only have a 56k modem) and install it. It says installation is complete, but when I run the test, no output is produced.

Multi-verse lyrics

I'm trying to figure out how to specify a multi-verse lyric situation in a vocal/piano score. The form is "A |:B:| C", where A is the introduction, B is the set of three verses with repeats in the staff parts, and C is a coda ending. My problem is in getting the A and C parts in at the righ

Re: Hint: custom music symbols

Well, I've just found in the manual how to create custom markups. So I attach here the hauptstimme. What do you think, would it be practical if users published their own postscript markup creations in a way like this? Or should they really go into the fonts? And have their own commands? Symbol c

Adding (and subtracting) voices on the fly

Hi! I'm doing a Bach fugue, the most of which has three voices throughout, and I began by using a template for SATB, eliminating the bass voice. This seems to have suited about 90% of the piece, but there are parts where my "alto" part should more properly be printed on the bass staff (and it's

Adding performance notes (text) to score?

Hey all, Is there a way to add performance notes in lilypond? I want to add two or three lines of text below the staff at a certain point or create footnotes at the bottom of the page. As an aside, how can I produce a jagged line along the staff? This is typically used as a way to indicate a f

mftrace and lilypond-unstable on Mac OS X

Hi all Last night I successfully installed Lilypond 2.5 through Fink on Mac OS X (10.3.7). At first, it wouldn't install due to an error with mftrace. I then downgraded mftrace from 1.1 to 1.0 (i.e. by switching Fink from "use unstable packages" to "don't use unstable packages" just for mftrace

maintaining a lilypond library

I'm doing some design/maintenance on my website , which contains a large repository of lilypond source, and the scores generated from them. I'm hoping the collective wisdom of this list can come up with better solutions to some of my problems than I've been able to do on

Hint: custom music symbols

Hello, sometimes I must use embedded postscript to draw some musical symbols that the Feta font doesn't have. One example is Unicode symbol 1D1A6, called Hauptstimme. If you look at it (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf), you can see, that it's actually quite simple, containing only

Re: inimf -where is this? tetex 3.0

In a normal installation of teTeX, inimf is just a soft link to mf (which uses the trick to check the name it was invoked with to determine what to do). Possibly some of the metafont related programs have been moved to some separate package in the SuSE packaging of teTeX 3.0? /Mats Tapio Tuovila

Re: pagebreaks

According to http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2004-11/msg00248.html it's not directly supported for the moment. However, one possible fix is to include an extra score which only contains an empty line followed by a page break followed by a new empty line: \score{\new Lyrics \lyric
