Mark formatter changed in v2.23?

2022-07-10 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
Hi all, I was super excited to see the new D.S. and D.C. support coming in the next release (I have several scores where I've had to fake this) so decided to take a chance and upgrade to the devel release. Mostly everything works fine, but I discovered that the command I typically use to set the

subito PP

Hi all, I'm typesetting a score that uses "subito p" and "subito pp" in a couple of places. I've found snippets explaining how to get this to look right (subito in normal italics, the "p" or "pp" in dynamic font), and another snippet showing how to create a custom dynamic that correctly sets th

MIDI & repeats

2022-08-02 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
Hi all, I’m wondering if there’s a smart way to make the midi output for a particular part do the following two things (both common in Sousa marches): 1. Have a part play only on 2nd time through the repeat. 2. Have different dynamic for 1st and 2nd times through repeat. A minimal example of how

Midi: tremolo vs n:m

2022-10-16 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
Hi all, My understanding is that "\repeat tremolo 4 {c16}" and "c4:16" should be equivalent, the latter just being a (welcome) shortcut for the former. In the PDF output (without expanding repeats) they look identical however in the midi playback (with repeats expanded) the former plays as fou

Thanks to all the lilypond devs for their hard work. I installed the new version this morning and set it off rebuilding all of my scores. Some 136 scores and 1500+ parts later it is done. Only 2 failed to build and both because I had defined my own markup "\fine" for faking DC al fine / DS al fi

+1 to Paul’s question. I have a couple of different work-arounds for formatting dc + coda that I used in the past. Having converted to the new segno/section tools the codas in the player parts are a little harder to read. For multi-bar codas that fill one or more lines I can insert a line-bre

Scoop and bend

2022-12-28 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
Hi all, I’ve recently been type-setting some saxophone parts that employ quite a lot of glissandi, note-bends, falls, and scoops. Lilypond has the glissando and fall (bendAfter) covered, but I’m struggling to find a good solution for scoop (basically “bendBefore”) or bend (in the originals this

A bit late, I know, but I finally got round to rebuilding all of my scores (141) and parts (1623) with the new release. Two scores had errors for things that were previously warnings but that I had been ignoring. These were trivial to update and now work fine. Everything else worked like a charm

Re: Feedback request on image formats

2023-01-10 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
Almost all the images I use for cover art etc are JPEG or PNG originally so for me PNG is the most important format. Other images I use are generally icons or clip art and these are almost always png or svg. I don’t think I’ve ever seen stock imagery or icons in pdf format, only documents. So,

Hi Greg, the conversation on this list back in Dec'22 and Jan'23 ended up with Lukas-Fabian Moser sending me the attached script and example.

Re: Glissandos into Note

2024-04-14 Thread Benjamin Tordoff
\bendAfter (a fall or rise after the note) is part of the solution but the request here is for a fall or rise before and into the note (“scoop”) not after. In my case I also needed “bend” (going from a note down and back again). This set: scoops, bends, and falls is very common in type-setting j
