issue with French patterns
by Pablo Rodriguez 01 Jul '16

01 Jul '16

Dear list, I have the following sample: \setuplanguage[fr][patterns={fr, agr}] \mainlanguage[fr] \setupbodyfont[dejavu] \starttext \hyphenatedword{χαλεπά éligibilité} \stoptext I cannot compile it with latest beta (or with stable from 2015.05.18 12:26). The error message reads: error on line 2 in file a.tex: ! Conflicting pattern ignored Is this a bug or is there no way to load French and ancient Greek hyphenation patterns? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Table of character frequency for portuguese
by Marcus Vinicius Mesquita 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Dear Hans In the annex you can find a table of character frequency for Portuguese. Is it possible to add it in a future beta? TIA Marcus Vinicius -- Todas as coisas fatigam o corpo, salvo a música, que não fatiga nem o corpo nem seus membros, por ser descanso da alma, primavera do coração, distração do aflito, entretenimento do solitário, e viático do viajante.

crop marks
by Thomas Fehige 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

I wonder how I can get crop marks to work. This is what I have, but they don't show: %=== MWE ===== \definepapersize[Labelpaper][width=95mm,height=90mm] \setuppapersize[Labelpaper][A4,portrait] \setuplayout[ backspace=3mm, margin=0mm, topspace=3mm, header=0mm, footer=0mm, width=89mm, height=84mm, nx=2, ny=3, location=middle, marking=on % according to the wiki, % this should show the crop marks ] \showframe % not for the final printing of course \starttext ~ % Dummy text, I'll work with background layers. \stoptext %==============

ConTeXt and LilyPond, another question
by Robert Blackstone 30 Jun '16

30 Jun '16

Dear all, Inserting LilyPond scores or snippets into a ConTeXt file gives very nice results, better than inserting LilyPond pdf's as floats. So far however, using floats has the advantage that they can be given a caption, that ConTeXt gives them a number, that one gets a list of floats in the ToC, that they can be indexed etc. etc., things that, as far as I can see, are missing when entering LilyPond code directly into the TeX-file and use the filter. Does any of you know how this handicap can be overcome? Or else, would it be possible either to add these facilities to the filter or create some other means for providing the LilyPond examples with a caption and a number? Best regards, Robert Blackstone

smallcaps
by dr. Hans van der Meer 29 Jun '16

29 Jun '16

I do not understand the behaviour of the \sc macro. I thought smallcaps would turn out to be smaller than capitals. But I see no difference between them except a subtle difference in letterspacing. Am I doing something wrong here? Hans van der Meer Minimal example and output: \setuppapersize[A5][A5] \starttext \setupbodyfont[lmodern] lmodern: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank \setupbodyfont[cambria] cambria: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank \LuaTeX-version=0.\the\luatexversion\crlf \ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\crlf \stoptext

No idea why. Whatever I do Terminal replies with : cannot execute binary file. I will now try to get some advice from the LilyPond list. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Ref. 1: I am running ConTeXt as a standalone Ref. 2: ConTeXt is running under Mac OSX 10.9.5. I use TeXShop as the editor. Ref. 3: I attach the example to this mail Ref. 4: Yes, I created a folder "lilytemp". It is in the same directory as the .tex-file I want to compile. But I have no idea how and where to create a buffer. My guess is that ConTeXt does not find the or even a lilypond executable but I cannot see how and where I have to supply the path.

next beta
by Hans Hagen 27 Jun '16

27 Jun '16

Hi, The next beta will support this (for mp lovers) \definecolor[maincolor] [r=.5] \definecolor[extracolor] [g=.5] \definecolor[anothercolor][b=.5] \definecolor[morecolor] [s=.8] \startMPpage fill fullcircle scaled 10cm withcolor "maincolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 9cm withcolor "extracolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 8cm withcolor complementary "anothercolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 7cm withcolor complemented "anothercolor" ; fill fullcircle scaled 6cm withcolor "morecolor" randomized 1 ; fill fullcircle scaled 5cm withcolor "morecolor" randomized 1 ; addbackground withcolor .5[resolvedcolor("morecolor"),resolvedcolor("extracolor")] ; \stopMPpage So, in many cases you can use strings instead of \MPcolor{...}.

Equivalent in ConTeXt mkiv for LaTeX's picture environment?
by Thomas Fehige 26 Jun '16

26 Jun '16

The headline says it: As a convert from LaTeX I'm looking for the functionality of LaTeX's picture environment, i.e. the placing of boxes et al. according to absolute coordinates, possibly with calculating measurements and coordinates on the go, like the stuff provided by the picture package on LaTeX. (It's labels for cider bottles this time.) Cheers -- Thomas
