Añadir un bajo cifrado encima o debajo de las notas

Al escribir un bajo cifrado, podemos situar las cifras encima o debajo de las notas del bajo, mediante la definición de la propiedad BassFigureAlignmentPositioning #'direction (exclusivamente dentro de un contexto Staff). Se puede elegir entre #UP (o #1, arriba), #CENTER (o #0, centrado) y #DOWN (o #-1, abajo).

Esta propiedad se puede cambiar tantas veces como queramos. Utilice \once \override si no quiere que la sobreescritura se aplique a toda la partitura.

bass = {
  \clef bass
  g4 b, c d
  e d8 c d2
}

continuo = \figuremode {
  <_>4 <6>4 <5/>4
  \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.direction = #UP
  %\bassFigureStaffAlignmentUp
  < _+ >4 <6>
  \set Staff.useBassFigureExtenders = ##t
  \override Staff.BassFigureAlignmentPositioning.direction = #DOWN
  %\bassFigureStaffAlignmentDown
  <4>4. <4>8 <_+>4
}

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff = bassStaff \bass
    \context Staff = bassStaff \continuo
  >>

Añadir un pentagrama nuevo

Se puede añadir (posiblemente de forma temporal) un pentagrama nuevo una vez que la pieza ha comenzado.

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff \relative c'' {
      c1 | c | c | c | c
    }
    \new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
      \new Staff {
        c1 | c
        <<
          {
            c1 | d
          }
          \new Staff {
            \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
            c1 | b
          }
        >>
        c1
      }
    }
  >>

Añadir un pentagrama adicional en un salto de línea

Al añadir un pentagrama nuevo en un salto de línea, por desgracia se añade un espacio adicional al final de la línea antes del salto (reservado para hacer sitio a un cambio de armadura que de todas formas no se va a imprimir). La solución alternativa es añadir un ajuste para Staff.explicitKeySignatureVisibility como se muestra en el ejemplo.

\score {
  \new StaffGroup \relative c'' {
    \new Staff
    \key f \major
    c1 c^"Unwanted extra space" \break
    << { c1 | c }
       \new Staff {
         \key f \major
         \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
         c1 | c
       }
    >>
    c1 | c^"Fixed here" \break
    << { c1 | c }
       \new Staff {
         \once \set Staff.explicitKeySignatureVisibility = #end-of-line-invisible
         \key f \major
         \once \omit Staff.TimeSignature
         c1 | c
       }
    >>
  }
}

Cambiar la dirección de la plica de las notas de la tercera línea automáticamente, basado en la melodía

LilyPond puede alterar la dirección de la plica de las notas que van en la tercera línea de un pentagrama de forma que siga la melodía, mediante la adición del grabador Melody_engraver al contexto Voice.

\relative c'' {
  \time 3/4
  a8 b g f b g |
  \set suspendMelodyDecisions = ##t
  a  b g f b g |
  \unset suspendMelodyDecisions
  c  b d c b c |
}

\layout {
  \context {
    \Voice
    \consists "Melody_engraver"
    \autoBeamOff
  }

Números de compás centrados

Con frecuencia, las partituras de obras para conjuntos grandes tienen los números de compás debajo del sistema y centrados horizontalmente sobre el ancho del compás. Este fragmento de código muestra cómo puede usarse el grabador Measure_counter_engraver para simular esta práctica notacional. Aquí hemos añadido el grabador a un contexto Dynamics.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Dynamics
    \consists #Measure_counter_engraver
    \override MeasureCounter.direction = #DOWN
    \override MeasureCounter.font-encoding = #'latin1
    \override MeasureCounter.font-shape = #'italic
    % to control the distance of the Dynamics context from the staff:
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.nonstaff-relatedstaff-spacing.padding = #2
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Bar_number_engraver"
  }
}

pattern = \repeat unfold 7 { c'4 d' e' f' }

\new StaffGroup <<
  \new Staff {
    \pattern
  }
  \new Staff {
    \pattern
  }
  \new Dynamics {
    \startMeasureCount
    s1*7
    \stopMeasureCount

Modificar la salida MIDI para que tenga un canal por cada voz

Al producir una salida MIDI, el comportamiento predeterminado es que cada pentagrama representa un canal MIDI, con todas las voces de dicho pentagrama mezcladas. Esto reduce al mínimo el riesgo de que se agote el número de canales MIDI disponibles, pues existe un máximo de 16 canales por cada puerto MIDI, y la mayoría de los dispositivos sólo tiene un puerto.

Sin embargo, cuando se traslada el interpretador Staff_performer al contexto Voice, cada voz de un pentagrama puede tener su propio canal MIDI, como se muestra en el siguiente ejemplo: a pesar de estar sobre el mismo pentagrama, se crean dos canales MIDI, cada uno con un midiInstrument distinto.

\score {
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice \relative c''' {
      \set midiInstrument = #"flute"
      \voiceOne
      \key g \major
      \time 2/2
      r2 g-"Flute" ~
      g fis ~
      fis4 g8 fis e2 ~
      e4 d8 cis d2
    }
    \new Voice \relative c'' {
      \set midiInstrument = #"clarinet"
      \voiceTwo
      b1-"Clarinet"
      a2. b8 a
      g2. fis8 e
      fis2 r
    }
  >>
  \layout { }
  \midi {
    \context {
      \Staff
      \remove "Staff_performer"
    }
    \context {
      \Voice
      \consists "Staff_performer"
    }
    \tempo 2 = 72
  }

Modificar el compás dentro de una sección polimétrica utilizando \scaleDurations

La propiedad measureLength, junto con measurePosition, determina cuándo es necesario dibujar una línea divisoria. Sin embargo, al utilizar \scaleDurations, el escalado proporcional de las duraciones hace difícil introducir cambios de compás. En este caso se debe establecer manualmente el valor de measureLength utilizando la función ly:make-moment. El segundo argumento debe ser el mismo que el segundo argumento de \scaleDurations.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove "Timing_translator"
  }
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists "Timing_translator"
  }
}

<<
  \new Staff {
    \scaleDurations 8/5 {
      \time 6/8
      \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 6/5)
      b8 b b b b b
      \time 2/4
      \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 4/5)
      b4 b
    }
  }
  \new Staff {

Notación de responsos o salmos

Este tipo de notación se utiliza para los cantos salmódicos, en que las estrofas no siempre tienen la misma longitud.

Crear pentagramas en blanco

Para crear pentagramas en blanco, genere compases vacíos y después elimine el grabador de números de compás Bar_number_engraver del contexto Score, y los grabadores de la indicación de compás Time_signature_engraver, de la clave Clef_engraver y de los compases Bar_engraver del contexto de Staff.

Creating custom key signatures

LilyPond supports custom key signatures. In this example, print for D minor with an extended range of printed flats.

\new Staff \with {
  \override StaffSymbol.line-count = #8
  \override KeySignature.flat-positions = #'((-7 . 6))
  \override KeyCancellation.flat-positions = #'((-7 . 6))
  % presumably sharps are also printed in both octaves
  \override KeySignature.sharp-positions = #'((-6 . 7))
  \override KeyCancellation.sharp-positions = #'((-6 . 7))

  \override Clef.stencil = #
  (lambda (grob)(grob-interpret-markup grob
  #{ \markup\combine
    \musicglyph "clefs.C"
    \translate #'(-3 . -2)
    \musicglyph "clefs.F"
   #}))
    clefPosition = #3
    middleCPosition = #3
    middleCClefPosition = #3
}

Plicas de pentagrama cruzado

Este fragmento de código muestra el uso del grabador Span_stem_engraver y de \crossStaff para conectar automáticamente plicas de un pentagrama a otro. No es necesario especificar la longitud de la plica porque la distancia variable entre las cabezas de las notas y los pentagramas se calcula automáticamente.

  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists "Span_stem_engraver"

Mostrar un sistema GrandStaff completo si sigue con vida uno solo de sus pentagramas

A veces, en las partituras orquestales se dejan en silencio instrumentos individuales o grupos de ellos durante un período de tiempo, y sus pentagramas correspondientes se pueden suprimir durante ese tiempo (con \removeEmptyStaves).

Cuando vuelven a sonar, con frecuencia se prefiere mostrar todos los instrumentos del grupo. Esto se puede hacer añadiendo el grabador Keep_alive_together_engraver en el contexto agrupador (p.ej.: un GrandStaff o un StaffGroup)

En este ejemplo, los violines están en silencio durante los sistemas segundo y tercero. Solo el violín primero suena en el último compás, pero se muestra también el pentagrama del violín segundo.

\score {
  <<
    \new StaffGroup = "StaffGroup_woodwinds"
    <<
      \new Staff = "Staff_flute" \with {
        instrumentName = "Flute"

Los grabadores, uno por uno

Del problema central de la notación, esto es, crear un determinado símbolo, se encargan los «plugins» o complementos añadidos. Cada uno de los complementos se conoce como un grabador. En este ejemplo, los grabadores se van activando uno por uno, en el orden siguiente:

- cabeza de las notas,

- el símbolo del pentagrama,

- clave,

- plicas,

- barras, ligaduras de expresión, acentos,

- alteraciones, líneas divisorias, indicación del compás, y armadura.

Los grabadores se encuentran agrupados. Por ejemplo, las cabezas de nota, ligaduras de expresión, barras de corchea, etc. forman un contexto de voz, Voice. Los grabadores de la armadura, alteraciones, líneas de compás, etc. forman un contexto de pentagrama, Staff.

La disposición «mensurstriche» en que las líneas divisorias no están dibujadas sobre los pentagramas, sino entre ellos, se puede conseguir con un StaffGroup en vez de un ChoirStaff. La línea divisoria sobre los pentagramas se borra usando \hide.

Anidado de grupos de pentagramas

Se puede utilizar la propiedad systemStartDelimiterHierarchy para crear grupos de pentagramas anidados de forma más compleja. La instrucción \set StaffGroup.systemStartDelimiterHierarchy toma una lista alfabética del número de pentagramas producidos. Se puede proporcionar antes de cada pentagrama un delimitador de comienzo de sistema. Se debe encerrar entre corchetes y admite tantos pentagramas como encierren las llaves. Se pueden omitir los elementos de la lista, pero el primer corchete siempre abarca todos los pentagramas. Las posibilidades son SystemStartBar, SystemStartBracket, SystemStartBrace y SystemStartSquare.

\new StaffGroup
\relative c'' <<
  \override StaffGroup.SystemStartSquare.collapse-height = #4
  \set StaffGroup.systemStartDelimiterHierarchy
    = #'(SystemStartSquare (SystemStartBrace (SystemStartBracket a

Numerar grupos de compases

Este fragmento de código muestra el uso del grabador Measure_counter_engraver para numerar grupos de compases sucesivos. Se puede numerar cualquier período de compases tanto si tiene repeticiones como si no.

Se debe añadir el grabador al contexto adecuado. Aquí se usa un contexto Staff; otra posibilidad sería un contexto Dynamics.

El contador se inicia con \startMeasureCount y finaliza con \stopMeasureCount. La numeración comienza con 1, de forma predeterminada, pero se puede modificar este comportamiento sobreescribiendo la propiedad count-from.

Cuando un compás se extiende más allá de un salto de línea, el número aparece dos veces, la segunda vez entre paréntesis.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Staff
    \consists #Measure_counter_engraver
  }
}

\new Staff {
  \startMeasureCount
  \repeat unfold 7 {
    c'4 d' e' f'
  }
  \stopMeasureCount
  \bar "||"
  g'4 f' e' d'
  \override Staff.MeasureCounter.count-from = #2
  \startMeasureCount
  \repeat unfold 5 {
    g'4 f' e' d'
  }
  g'4 f'
  \bar ""
  \break
  e'4 d'
  \repeat unfold 7 {
    g'4 f' e' d'
  }
  \stopMeasureCount

Suprimir los números de compás de toda la partitura

Se pueden eliminar completamente los números de compás quitando el grabador Bar_number_engraver del contexto de Score.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    \omit BarNumber
    % or:
    %\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
  }
}

\relative c'' {
  c4 c c c \break
  c4 c c c

Uso del corchete recto al comienzo de un grupo de pentagramas

Se puede usar el delimitador de comienzo de un sistema SystemStartSquare estableciéndolo explícitamente dentro de un contexto StaffGroup o ChoirStaffGroup.

\score {
  \new StaffGroup { <<
  \set StaffGroup.systemStartDelimiter = #'SystemStartSquare
    \new Staff { c'4 d' e' f' }
    \new Staff { c'4 d' e' f' }
  >> }
}

Using marklines in a Frenched score

Using MarkLine contexts (such as in LSR1010) in a Frenched score can be problematic if all the staves between two MarkLines are removed in one system. The Keep_alive_together_engraver can be used within each StaffGroup to keep the MarkLine alive only as long as the other staves in the group stay alive.

  \tempo "Allegro" 4=120

  \repeat unfold 8 { \mark \default s1*2 }
  \bar "|."
