can't output multiple midi drum voices

Whenever I have more than one DrumVoice going at a time neither one outputs anything at all. Sample code follows. You'd expect the first part to at least make some sound, but it doesn't do anything at all. My initial thought is that since there's only one percussion midi channel it breaks

Metronome Marks above a StaffGroup

2012-01-07 Thread Andrew C. Smith
Hey everyone, On larger orchestral scores a metronome mark will appear at the top of each staff group (like strings, winds, brass, etc.) Is there a way to achieve this in Lilypond? I've tried removing Staff_collecting_engraver and Metronome_mark_engraver from the score and adding them to

Thanks Kieren James, This helped a lot. I actually found a lesser workaround later last night, but your solutions were way better. Continuing this conversation: I'm trying to now make a markup function, and running into trouble. Here's the function: --- #(define-markup-command (wrap-lyrics

Adding line breaks within lyrics

2011-06-18 Thread Andrew C. Smith
Hi everyone, I'm writing a piece where the rhythms of the sung words are free, so a whole phrase is attached to a single note. I'm putting my lyrics in for each note, but they appear on one long line, when I actually want them wrapped to the width of the bar. Is there a way to add a line

PDF output to Illustrator--non-LY fonts not appearing

2010-12-19 Thread Andrew C. Smith
I'm importing Illustrator into Lilypond I used past mailing list suggestions to convert the feta-alphabet fonts to ttf and drop them into the Library/Fonts folder. However, I have Lilypond write my text in a different font (Garamond) and use yet another font as sans for alternative

Hmm. Is this intentional? It looks like a bug... I'm not sure, though changing the parser rule to use `string' instead of `STRING' appears to be harmless. Cheers, Neil Thanks Neil! This totally works. best, Andrew ___ lilypond-user

Creating arbitrary lines (or other postscript things)

2010-11-15 Thread Andrew C. Smith
Dear users, I'm working on a piece of music where certain notes need to be connected by dotted lines. I've tried a few different things: using \glissando and overriding the stencil to get a different position, or just creating \markup with a stencil object. I've also tried writing it in

Re: Creating arbitrary lines (or other postscript things)

2010-11-15 Thread Andrew C. Smith
What is it about a glissando that doesn't give you what you want? A glissando only creates a line to the next note. I want a line to another arbitrary note, not necessarily the next one. I guess glissando is basically what I want to do, but I want to explicitly define the next note.

Re: Creating arbitrary lines (or other postscript things)

2010-11-15 Thread Andrew C. Smith
Would it make sense to, rather than use glissando or something similar, create a function that takes a syntax similar to the following: \lineBegin x y \lineEnd x y where x is an index so that \lineBegin and \lineEnd may be matched to one another (even across the entire score), and y

Thanks for this I have sent this example to LilyPond Snippet Repository (LSR) as I think this is a nice simple and clear way of how to do this for us lesser mortals. Thanks, I'll probably be searching for it in a year or two... I'm having yet more trouble, this time creating a music
