(Sorry, meant to post this to whole list.) So then, in the current version I'm running (2.14.2), are those escaped strings ( \pieceTocTitle, \pieceToc, and \includeScore ) invalid commands? --- Begin Message --- So then, in the current version I'm running (2.14.2), are those escaped strings ( \

Re: Handel's Messiah -- question about finding which ly file runs the whole shebang

Well, the OS X version I have of lilypond I have is version 2.14.2-1. I used to use lilypond on my debian box, so I myself am more accustomed to the CL-based interface. I would hope there was some way of running it that way on OS X (?). I think I may have converted it to 2.14.2 just now, but

Re: Handel's Messiah -- question about finding which ly file runs the whole shebang

I think so--I'm using the version for Mac OS X, and there's a menu option under "Compile" that says 'update syntax'. I suppose this accomplishes the same thing? -Mark David Kastrup wrote: > writes: > > > Is this a case of version mismatch? All I can find so far is that the > > files w

Handel's Messiah -- question about finding which ly file runs the whole shebang

Hi, I'm new to the list, but an old casual dabbler in Lilypond. I have been tasked with coming up with some arranged brass parts for a quartet of 2 trumpets, trombone and tuba + organ for my church's Easter service. I only need to do the Hallelujah chorus from Messiah, of course, and have alread

I've searched the lilypond.ps file for how to code a fermata, but I don't see it. I suppose if it were me, I'd put it in the section "Expressive marks." Where did I miss it? Thanks as always, --Mark -- Feel the power of the penguin at http://www.libranet.com _

Re: partial measures

I had indeed been using the -P param. with ly2dvi, and that would give me the errors (see earlier postings). I'll try what you suggest when I get home. For now I shall occupy myself with working on the .ly file, now that I know I'll be able to get what I want! :-) Thanks for your input, --Mark

RE: stumped and impatient

Well, this didn't work. Not only would it not display the music correctly, (the quarter-note heads as dollar signs, the treble clef as a 'j') it wouldn't even print what was visible on screen. Instead it printed out what I presume to be the equivalent Ghost/Postscript code. >sigh< I'd LIKE to u

Re: stumped and impatient

I looked up in the docs about other ways to invoke lilypond, and tried "lilypond -fps mynewfile.ly" and at least it generated a "mynewfile.ps" but when I viewed it (gv mynewfile.ps &) I got a staff with a letter `j' for a treble (violin) clef and the noteheads all were dollar-signs. (They
