Nice SVG score output

If you want nice SVG output, which actually works really nicely (I have it working on various instances of MediaWiki) then please make some noise on phab:T49578. It's ridiculous that this feature request is now eleven years old and I don't think anyone involved has any appreciation of how much of a difference it would make. The work has been done, it just needs to be deployed. — Jon (talk) 00:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rhytm problem

I've transcribed this song, but I can't write correctly the measure 5. The first note should have a dot, but if I put the dot the measure is too big; I can't see errors, what could be the problem?

Some note durations are wrong in your transcription and mess up it's rhythm. For male singers, the setting at https://www.lieder-archiv.de/es_braust_ein_ruf_wie_donnerhall-notenblatt_300523.html seems more appropriate, notwithstanding Carl Wilhelm's original manuscript for "Die Wacht am Rhein". Further, the sixth-last not was wrong, G instead of A♭.

Conver Tool

Can someone please make a convert tool? Like from midi or musicxml file to this score type? I really need a convert tool to save time! - ABAL1412^{🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺} (talk ☭) 16:32, 1 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Add title and midi

Hi, I had a working score with a midi (vorbis=1 midi=1) enabled, but I can't show any title using /header.

$\header { tagline = "" % no footer title = "Indonesia Raya" composer = "W. R. Supratman" } \new Staff << \new Voice = "1" { \voiceOne \time 6/8 \tempo 4 = 96 \relative c' { \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"violin" r4 r8 c4 c8 | f4. a4 a8 | a4. a4 a8 | g4. e4 e8 | e4. g4 g8 | g4. f4 e8 | d4. e4 d8 | c2.~ c4. r8 r4 } } >>$

Then I tried using raw=1 according to the example on the page, and the title showed up, but it isn't compatible with vorbis/midi

$\header { tagline = "" % no footer title = "Indonesia Raya" composer = "W. R. Supratman" } \new Staff << \new Voice = "1" { \voiceOne \time 6/8 \tempo 4 = 96 \relative c' { \set Staff.midiInstrument = #"violin" r4 r8 c4 c8 | f4. a4 a8 | a4. a4 a8 | g4. e4 e8 | e4. g4 g8 | g4. f4 e8 | d4. e4 d8 | c2.~ c4. r8 r4 } } >>$

No MIDI file generated despite being requested. If you are working in raw LilyPond mode, make sure to provide a proper \midi block.

So, how can I display both title and the midi? Thanks. Bennylin (talk) 18:18, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
