how to avoid font substitution

[Flaming Hakama by Elaine]

Now that I am setting up a new environment on a new machine, 

I am running into a problem again, 

and I don't recall how I solved it last time.

When I compile a pdf locally, it looks fine.

But when I upload it to a site, then download it on an iPad, it shows different fonts.

Is there a way to either embed fonts in the pdf, or to convert the characters to outlines?

I tried using --pspdfopt=TeX since that claimed to
"Produce files that are optimized for inclusion in pdfTeX, luatex, or
XeTeX documents.  Using this value is equivalent to setting LilyPond’s Scheme command
line options -dmusic-font-encodings='#t' and -dgs-never-embedfonts='#f'."

I saw some hope there by reading this as saying "never embed fonts is false, therefore embed fonts".

But that did not seem to have the desired effect.

Please let me know if you have any clues.


Thanks.

Elaine Alt

Subject: ice-9 i18n string-locale-upcase
Hi everyone,

I wanted to set up some customisable headings using #(string-upcase
"string"), but it doesn’t work on German umlauts, so I came upon
string-locale-upcase on this page:

https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-2.2/guile-ref/Character-Case-Mapping.html#Character-Case-Mapping

However, I can’t get it to work. To this example file:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\version "2.23.5"
#(use-modules (ice-9 i18n))
\markup \column {
   #(string-upcase "üß")
   #(string-locale-upcase "üß" "de_DE")
}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Guile says: “no code for module (ice-9 i18n)”.

Why? Can I load the module another way? Will it do what I want? Should I
use another tool? ;-)

Thanks in advance,
Simon

Because this is documentation for Guile 2
and current releases of LilyPond still have
Guile 1.8. Try Jonas' latest *experimental*
binaries using Guile 2:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2021-12/msg00007.html
or rather
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-devel/2021-12/msg00078.html
if you are using Windows.

Best,
Jean

Subject: Re: Display Question Mark at center of a measure

Thanks Lukas and Jean for your help.

There is an issue with the below solution. When adding <<  and >> the visual is correct but while playing the score the first measure notes all play together. I'm guessing it's because of << >>. Is there a way to fix this.

Thanks for all the help.

I'm tying to display a question mark at the center of the 1st measure in a 2 measure score.

I have got this working with hard-coding the offset (3 . 4.5) but this will not work when the number of notes in a measure is larger than 3. Is there a way to get this to work dynamically where the question mark moves to the center of the measure irrespective of the length of a measure.

Please try to remove everything in your examples not actually related to the problem at hand (here, for example, everything having to do with MIDI, proportional notation, boxed measure counters etc.).

What comes to mind is that your question mark is exactly in the position where you would normally expect a whole bar rest. So how about:

\version "2.22.0"

#(define (center-stencil stil)
   (ly:stencil-aligned-to
    (ly:stencil-aligned-to stil X CENTER)
    Y CENTER))

questionMarkMultiMeasureRest = {
  \override MultiMeasureRest.stencil =
  #(grob-transformer
    'stencil
    (lambda (grob default)
      (ly:stencil-translate-axis
       (center-stencil (ly:text-interface::print grob))
       (interval-center (ly:stencil-extent default X))
       X)))
  \override MultiMeasureRest.text = "?"
  \override MultiMeasureRest.font-size = 7
  \override MultiMeasureRest.color = "#6A00F4"
}

\new Staff {
  \clef bass
  <<
    { \hideNotes b2 c }
    \new Voice {
      \questionMarkMultiMeasureRest
      R1
    }
  >>
  \unHideNotes a2 c'4 g
}

One could of course wrap the simultaenous addition of the tweaked full bar rest in a music function.

The reason I'm using such a comparatively complex stencil override is that the default positioning of the MultiMeasureRest (which is what we want here) is handled in the default stencil; if we overwrite that function completely, we don't get the nice centered alignment we want.

I cannot reproduce. Can you paste the complete code that
demonstrates the problem?

Thanks,
Jean

Subject: Re: optical recognition for input
Out of interest I tried Audiveris on a rather simple Lilypond score. The
results are somewhat okay, but not stellar (see for yourself). I think with
more complex scores this will quickly get messy. So I guess this could save
some time in very specific situations.

But the question is: Would you want that? In situations where this works you
probably have a high quality scan of a quality score, so the only reason why
you’d want to engrave it is to change things. But going the Scan→MusicXML→Ly
will not give you the clean structure you’d get from typing it yourself, so
working with these files is harder.

Cheers,
Valentin
