Re: stem disappearing/linebreak not working

[Charlotte Godley]

Hi Pierre,

Thanks a lot for your improvements - I’m aware I don’t need all the stemUp/stemDowns, I’ll be tidying up how those are handled at some stage in dev - mostly the lilypond code I’m creating isn’t seen by anyone but me, but for debug purposes I’ll try and get most of your improvements put in so it’s easier to read/the files aren’t quite as big.

Cheers,

Charlotte

Hi Charlotte,

As Kevin mentioned, there are some typos in your code and many too many commands.

Please find herewith the way I'd code your score (which doesn't mean that it's the best way) ; hope you'll find some inspiration in order to avoid typos and simplified your coding.

Cheers,
Pierre

Hi Charlotte,

You are missing a square bracket to end a beam in the sixth bar of your example. Instead of

d'16 |  <f a c' e'>1 |

you should have

d'16] |  <f a c' e'>1 |

I don't know how you're generating that code (all of the stem up and stem down stuff is unnecessary), but if you read the output from LilyPond it usually points you in the right direction. For example, I loaded your code with Frescobaldi and when l ran LilyPond it highlighted where the problem was in the code.

hth,

Kevin

Hi there,

Relative newbie to lilypond. Have a problem in that I’m generating some lilypond files from program objects, and for some reason lilypond doesn’t appear to be line breaking a couple of my larger test cases, like this one - http://i57.tinypic.com/x6gab6.png

I’ve tried this example removing the bars before bar 6 and it broke into systems fine, I’ve also tried a few of the hacks and fixes people have put on the internet for forcing lilypond to page break (the objects have awareness of where they should line and page break), but none of them seem to affect bars 6-26.

Additionally, for some reason the stems seem to be disappearing on a few of the notes in the treble clef? Again, this problem went away when I manually removed bars 1-6.

Any suggestion on how to fix this? Compressed lilypond code attached.

Cheers,

Charlotte
