This DMG was very very very helpful to me and seems to be working great. I
do not want to install HomeBrew nor MacPorts on my mac, and the task of
manually installing from all the sources and dependencies was daunting to
say the least. This DMG version worked out of the box really well so thank

This is probably an easy question, but I haven't been able to figure it out.
I have some tied notes that tie across barlines where there is a meter
change and the tie itself is going across the top of the time sig, making it
hard to read. How can I change the curve of the tie so that it will go
I can't seem to find anything in the Lilypond manual about creating harp
pedal symbols. I would think this issue has been covered a lot by users of
Lilypond. how do I do it, or something like it:

I have come up with my own way to hide whole measure rests from the conductor
score, while displaying them for the parts, but I would like to hear if
there is a generally accepted better way of handling this, as my way feels a
little complicated. I'm trying to have it so that I have only definiti
I figured out how to create a multimeasure rest, but it seems that the
measure numbering does not reflect what may be in the conductors score. So
for example, if I have a conductors score and some part sheets, and one of
the parts has 12 bars to wait. I would like them to see one bar with the

I can't figure out how to get a decrescendo hairpin on the last note of a

Hi everyone. I can't seem to figure out how to make a square looking group
bracket. I'm trying to make the kind of staffgroup bracket that looks like
a solid back rectangle laying just to the left of the starting barline.

Hi everyone. New lilypond user here. trying to use midi2ly to convert a
score I made in Overture and saved as type 1 mid. The midi file was from
notation, not from performance(so the times and durations should be
quantized already).
When I run midi2ly, it produces an ly file, no error, but the
ok. Never mind I guess. I needed to quantize the midi file. Which enabled
it to run successfully. Seems like an un-intuitive error message, for
whatever its worth...but at least it works. that being said, the duration
values it created are mind boggingly complicated. stuff like:
b4*237
I'm trying to use midi2ly with a very simple midi file. When I run midi2ly I
get the following error. I am using 2.9.11 on Windows. Any ideas?:
C:\Program Files\LilyPond\usr\bin>python midi2ly.py Fur_Elise.mid
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "midi2ly.py", line 1003, in ?

oh really? I will check into that.
If not BAT scripts, then perhaps WSH or VBScript will do the trick more
nicely..I'll look into it eventually, for now I'm just typing the whole path
name. I imagine the main problem with the BAT approach is coming up with a
truly generic solution. Making on
well, when running from the same directory as lilypond..why does python need
a complete path when the script is right there in the same directory? What
you're saying is that python does not look in the current directory...that
it can rather only accept explicit full pathnames for script names..wh
Mats.. sorry to sound like complete nonsense to you. I didn't mean
literally that I "Had" to run in the lilypond director. i mean to say that
I only ran it from there. However the full path of the python script was
required to avoid errors.

I am just getting into lilypond. i am wondering if there are any collections
of scheme functions out there that people have developed and shared for use
within Lilypond? I have no specific thing I'm looking for. I just see that
scheme functions can be written and wondering what kinds of smart t

I ran the script as follows from the windows command line:

That it worked fine. The trick was using the full path name of the python
script. Don't ask me why.
Hey all. I am very impressed with the printed output of lilypond. I am
thinking a lot of using it for a school film scoring project I will have
this Fall. However, I still plan to use Finale for note entry, primarily so
that I can compose and arrange with finale and samplers. I really just want
Wow, this is very interesting. So what does this mean for me? Is there a
setting I can make somewhere or file I can tweak so that lilypond will
generate PDF files differently than its currently doing?
By the way, just want to say that I threw together a few bars of my first
lilypond score and a

No offense was intended. I think Lilypond is a super product when it comes

Well, I looked up those two tools and they appear to be linux only? Anyone

That would be good to figure out. I'll try to see if I can follow up here
and get that to work here. I also tryied using --png option to create a png
file and the output in png is much nicer on screen then the PDF... So
perhaps I can get around this issue by always producing both png and pdf

Yea interesting. So I take it there is no way to make the new lilypond use
the old mode or something?

Yes Walter, you are correct, Postscript is not based on a particular
resolution. Must print beautifully on that printer of yours.

You are of course welcome to your opinion, but you have not changed my mind.
I need better PDF output. printed sheet music is not the only reason for
needing to produce music notation. Lilypond will not work for me in that
regard. I may or may not still use it for printing if it will not invol
Which gets us to the crux of the problem. Finale and lilypond use all of the
nuances of postscript that they possibly can..perhaps even using parts of it
that the PDF "subset" does not support very well. For this reason, all the
PDF viewers I have tried look like crap. Sad.
