Mutopia which version?

Hello

I'm trying to compile the following piece of music with
lilypond 2.11.63:

http://www.mutopiaproject.org/ftp/BachJS/O_Haupt_voll_Blut/O_Haupt_voll_Blut.ly

Unfortunately there is no version info in the source
file for converting with convert-ly. Compiling the source
is also not working.

Any tips for how to bring that source to newest version
of lilypond?

Thanks & best regards
Herbie

Re: Not expected noteheads in .svg

You have to tell your SVG program where to find the LilyPond fonts. 
Search the mailing list archives for information.

Re: consecutive TextSpanners

Hi Garry,
Yes, I had looked at using skips in this fashion, and it does help somewhat.  However, I'm wanting to have the two spanners appear as one spanner, with a marking occurring midway.  So my current hack is to have one textspanner with a whiteout markup above the note in question and placed over the spanner.

{c1\startTextSpan \override TextScript #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) c1^\markup {\whiteout "some markup"} c1\stopTextSpan}

Obviously I need to tweak the output as well, but for now it works, with minimal effort.

Still interested in the elegant solution, by the way!

Thanks,
Neil

Lightweight? In what sense?
With only vim and lilypond I have a working setup that installs and runs easily on my low-end EeePC laptop.
I run jEdit/LilyPondTool on my EEE 901 as well :-)
On my Linux laptop I prefer Vim because I use it for everything. Personal taste
I agree, the best is to stick with one favorite editor.

Re: Dynamics collision in 2.11.64

Thank you for explanation.

However... i'd say that default behavour became... strange?..

Wouldn't it better to have 'to-barline = ##f by default -- in this case one
(in this situation -- me,-) shouldn't re-check visually all hairpins?

:-)

Yes, i can believe, that #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT for DynamicText is
uncommon, but... current settings for 'to-barline actually means
"collide by default",
i'd say. Well, wether i do convert-ly or type a new score -- dynamics
collide by default
with 'to-barline = ##t. *If* i have #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT for DynamicText.

"Have i missed or messed smth *again*?" (mt) :-)

Lightweight? In what sense?
With jedit/lilypondtool you surely need to install Java, Jedit & 
Lilypondtool from. But after that you only need one app and you have 
everything without tedious configuration of point-and-click and whatnot. 
You only need to configure the path to lilypond binary and shortcuts if 
you wish to.
With LilyPondTool I just press F7, that saves the file, compiles with 
LilyPond and reloads the PDF, then I switch to the viewer with Alt-TAB 
(if it is not already visible).

piano centered dynamics


Hi guys,

What about piano centered dynamics?  Has there been any development in the
past months about this imho very essential feature of lilypond?  Is there
already a totally new version from scratch planned?  

What's the best workaround for now to produce a decent piano score (e.g.
really centered and not colliding with bar lines etc...)

thanks 
peter

Re: horizontally centering denominator in compound time signatures

As far as I can see, if you have centred columns in a line, the
problem appears to be that while each element in a column is aligned
to its centre, it's also aligned to the centre of the previous column.

A workaround is to \left-align each centred column.

> So, this is a general problem with the general-column scheme function...

Perhaps there's a bug in stack-lines?

Neil

Re: outside-staff-priority with \mark and Markup

Gilles

There is quite an extensive section on 'outside-staff-priority
in the 2.11 Learning Manual which explains why this doesn't work 
and what needs to be done to fix it.  See LM 4.4.3.

You're going to kick yourself for this... :)

s/make-column-markup/make-center-column-markup

Now that said, this causes the 1+2+3 to collide with the clef.
I'm not certain why, but you can probably work around it by
setting X-offset manually.

Incidentally, I still prefer my version:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-10/msg00681.html
since the markup is constructed in close-to-normal lilypond markup
language.  It would be fairly simply to change that function to
use a centered column and no parentheses.

Incidentally*2, I think there's enough interest in compound time
signatures that we should add it to the main lilypond.  There's a
lot of different styles (just compare yours with mine!), though,
so we'd need a #'style property to pick the desired one.  I'm not
certain how to go about doing that.

Cheers,
- Graham

Can't generate PDF file in Windows

When I select "Generate PDF" in the right-click menu in Windows explorer, no PDF
file is generated, and the log file reads as follows:

# -*-compilation-*-

This is a file I converted from an earlier Lilypond version using convert-ly.
