It might be somewhat common for wind musicians to switch instruments 
during the course of a multi-movement work, or even during a movement, but 
it is not common to notate which instrument to play (apart from the top of 
the page) UNTIL one has to change.
I'm a horn player, so I'm not switching physical instruments except by my 
own choice (and I don't), but we frequently have different transpositions 
(which correspond to switching horns or crooks back in the old days) 
within a work, and I can assure you that the normal practice is to 
*assume* horn in F, until told otherwise. Clarinet players switch actual 

override TupletNumber . Custom text

Hello, 

I like to work with full tuplet numbers because it makes it clear which version of quintuplet is meant (2:5 or 4:5).

Since I don't like errors, however 'traditional' they may have become, I would like to change the "3:2" of a
triplet in a more correct "2/3".

How can I get this format into

\override TupletNumber #'text = [...]   %old: #tuplet-number::calc-fraction-text

greetings,

the word "LilyPond"

Hi,

Everyone who knows a bit about TeX/LaTeX knows what the result looks like 
when you use \LaTeX or \TeX in your source text.

Wouldn't it be nice to have something like that for the word "LilyPond" ? 
A standard way to display "LilyPond" in documents and for example in 
the default lilypond tagline ?

I personally would not choose something fancy like (La)TeX uses. But we 
could at least always write "LilyPond" with L and P in uppercase, and 
decide about and recommend the use of a standard font, one that is 
available on every system, to use in documents and websites, for the word 
"LilyPond" even if the surrounding text uses a different font.

Just a thought.

repeat barlines with wings?

I'm used to seeing repeat barlines with "wings" (like in the picture I've
attached). Is there a way to do this in Lilypond?

Spanish user list reaches 100

Hello all,
It may look small, I know. It _is_ a small list. But let's face it,
LilyPond has still a relatively reduced share, and the
Spanish-speaking community is just starting to exist. Though if we
compare this to our main TeX list which is rather old and has 440
subscribers, I think the overall is no too bad.

I wanted to share this with the general list as it is good news for me
as the founder.

Thanks

Thinking about putting together a grant to support development on LilyPond

Developers,

I've been thinking about the problem of sustaining LilyPond development
long-term (and specifically the problem of obtaining enough money to
support David K as long as he's interested).

As I've thought about it, going after a grant seems the most logical thing
to do.  So I looked into the National Endowment for the Arts and the
National Endowment for the Humanities.  NEA has nothing that looks
interesting, unfortunately.  However, NEH has two initiatives that seem
interesting.  One is concerned with preservation; the other is concerned
with improve digital access to collected materials.

Guidelines for the preservation grant (which will probably be due in July)
are shown here:

http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/HCRR.html

Guidelines for the digital humanities grants are shown here:

http://www.neh.gov/grants/guidelines/digitalhumanitiesstartup.html

A past NEH grant has been use to put pdf copies of sheet music on line
with indexed metadata.  You can see the results in the Sheet Music
Consortium:

http://digital2.library.ucla.edu/sheetmusic/browse.html

This is cool information, but it can't be readily studied musically.  If
the scores were converted from graphical information to musical
information (e.g. In a lilypond file), then the collections could be
digitally searched by analyzing the musical information.  So, for example,
someone could do a study that compared musical trends from different
decades, in terms of chord structures, or ambitus, or key signatures, or
who knows what.

Note: a grant was just awarded for such a study -- look at ELVIS on this
page:

http://www.diggingintodata.org/Home/AwardRecipients2011/tabid/185/Default.a
spx

There is also an DFG/NEH digital humanities program on Enriching Digital
Collections:

http://www.neh.gov/whoweare/divisions/DigitalHumanities/DFGEDCprojects.html

So it seems to me we might be able to propose a grant to establish
infrastructure supporting a digital score repository to go along with the
sheet music consortium.

Some tasks that might be supportable under such a grant:

A) Development of ly2xml
B) Development of a lilypond scoring standard for the project, so that
scholars would know how to compare scores.
C) Development of score_ocr2ly, which would take a score pdf and turn it
into .ly files matching the lilypond scoring standard
D) Development of lilypond tools for supporting instruments (such as the
accordion and  harmonica) that may only be minimally supported at this time
E) Development of improved tablature support
F) Development of tools supporting musicological analysis of lilypond
scores

Some tasks that would be required under such a grant (but that might be
less interesting to developers):

A) Converting pdf scores to lilypond scores
B) Integrating lilypond score archives with existing digital collection
archives

So I'd like to ask the developers (and the users):  Does this seem
interesting to you?  Is this something that is worth trying to put
together?  Is anybody interested in contributing to a grant proposal?

If there seems to be enough interest, I'll visit with the music librarian
at BYU, and see if there is any institutional interest.

Thanks,

Carl

If you try the approach of the mentioned thread, you get the attached image.
I thought that this is the output you wanted, if not, I don't
understand what you're trying.

\version "2.14.2"

\paper {
 ragged-right = ##t
}

myLayout = \layout {
 \context {
   \name "MarkLine"
   \type "Engraver_group"

   \override MetronomeMark #'extra-spacing-width = #'(0 . 0)
   \override RehearsalMark #'Y-offset = #0
   \override MetronomeMark #'Y-offset = #0
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-2 . 2 )
   \override VerticalAxisGroup #'staff-staff-spacing = #'((basic-distance . 1)
   			          (minimum-distance . 1)
                                                          (padding . 1)
                                                          (stretchability . 3))
 }
 \context {
   \Score
   \override MultiMeasureRest #'expand-limit = #1
   \remove Mark_engraver
   \remove Metronome_mark_engraver
   \accepts MarkLine
 }
}

foo = \relative c'' {
        c'1
        \mark \default
        \tempo "Fast" 4 = 120
        c
}

\score {

   \new Staff { %{\compressFullBarRests %} \foo }
 >>
 \layout { \myLayout }
}

Well, it is possible to fake the printed output of a MetronomeMark
within a RehearsalMark. But you get loss of other informations carried
by the MetronomeMark. So I can't recommend this.

grace note issue/bug

I have a couple of issues with the attached ly file, version 2.14.2:

1. I get the warning "forced break was overridden by some other event,
should you be using bar checks?". Hence, I can't add breaks or pagebreaks
wherever I want to. 

2. A weird pdf when I add a \grace to the first note in the first measure. 
If I comment out lines 26 and 27 in the file and uncomment lines 29 and 30,
everything works fine. 

Stumped!.
