Subject: | Font problem? Extended character set |
Date: | Sat, 9 Nov 2002 23:44:44 -0700 |
A) Environment:
a) Lilypond 1.6.5, Cygwin installation, using
'install now' from web site, replacing existing version (1.4.2?) on a
Windows 98 SE system.
b) Using Notepad to input a (German) song - 1 voice
and piano. Entering words with german umlauts. Targetting 'letter'
paper.
c) Lilypond novice at this - have been using
Mutopia as a tutorial supplement, but I understand that some constructs may be
obsolete.
B) Symptoms:
Default setting displays the umlaut
properly. However, I only get 2 lines (voice, lyrics & piano) per
page, so I added the "\include "paper??.ly" line (??= 16 & 13).
Resulting font smaller, but no umlaut characters AND any occurances of
characters 'fl' in the lyrics disappear. (However, 'Fl' is
OK).
C) Questions:
1) From http://lilypond.org/stable/Documentation/topdocs/out-www/INSTALL.html#TOC5 I
understand that the old .pk and .tfm files need to be removed - are these
replaced? In other words, if I remove them now, does that imply a
reinstall is required. Or is post-install removal sufficient?
2) Do the symptoms describe a known issue? If
so, is there a known fix or workaround? (And, if so, what is
it?) Else ... suggestions/advice appreciated.
3) (somewhat off topic) Any documentation
describing 'best practices' or 'successful methods' for using Lilypond?
D) Code:
\header
.
. notes, etc ...
.
\include "paper16.ly"
\score {
\simultaneous { \Singer \piano } \paper { papersize = "letter" } }
Many thanks in advance
