LilyPond module
by Henning Hraban Ramm 17 Sep '06

17 Sep '06

Hi there! I'm trying to fix the LilyPond module for LilyPond 2.9.x (find my current version attached). One of the problems is, that the EPS/PDF produced by LilyPond is always too big (doesn't obey the ordered dimensions, but is uniformly upscaled). The code after line 250 should shift the notes to the left, if the line is wider than ordered - that worked in previous versions, because it was only wider, if there was text in front of the score. So, if I calculate the scaling factor (ca. 1.5), how can I use it in the module? Sorry, I still can't code in TeX... (At the same time I try to get answers on the LilyPond list how to avoid the scaling.) Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Captions in Combinations
by Pepe Barbe 17 Sep '06

17 Sep '06

Hello, In my layout settings I have the following: \setupcaptions[ headstyle=\ss\bf,style=\tfx ] \setupcombinations[ style={\tfx\em} ] Hoping that the captions in the figures and in the combinations would have the same size, but they don't. Any ideas why this might be? Thanks, Pepe

figurenumbering
by Wolfgang Werners-Lucchini 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hallo! Is this correct behaviour? ------------------------------------------------- \starttext \placefigure{}{\framed{Blub}} \placefigure{}{\framed{Bautz}} \placefigure{}{\framed{Bla}} This were \rawnumber[figure] figures by now! \setnumber[figure]{8} We want to count on with \rawnumber[figure]. \placefigure{}{\framed{Plong}} figurenumber is correct incremented to \rawnumber[figure], but caption shows 4. \stoptext ------------------------------------------------- If this is not a bug, how can captionnumbering be influenzed?

xetex and metapost
by Alex Lubberts 16 Sep '06

16 Sep '06

Hi, After switching to `XeConTeXt' my file with MP graphics (which ran fine before) results in errors. I include a .mp-file like: \startuseMPgraphic{dia1} input Diagram1 ; \stopuseMPgraphic \placefigure{Comment}{\externalfigure[Diagram1.1]} When I run ConTeXt a file test-mprun.mp is created containing: [...] defaultfont:="'Minion Pro:mapping=tex-text; +onum; +pnum'"; defaultscale:=12.0pt/10pt; [...] which of course is responsible for the errors. Does anyone know how to solve this? Greetings, Alex Lubberts

Dear all, I have tried updating ConTeXt with the result that any ConTeXt document results in the above error message :( I have re-installed everything (I hope - deleted teTeX from /usr/ local/, and the ipackages folder from the home directory, then re-installed everything using iinstaller) to no avail. I tried both the ConTeXt beta and the stable version. Any ideas what's wrong? Full log file is below.
