* Change Lilypond to LilyPond where it refers to the softwareCarl Sorensen2016-08-061-2/+2
* (Optionally) embed ly source files inside generated PDF...By using the new -dembed-source-code command line switch, users may now include their LilyPond source code in the generated PDF (using the pdfmark EMBED feature); although the PDF is not modified in any visible way, embedded .ly files should appear in viewers that support this feature (other viewers should degrade gracefully). This patch adds a new ly:source-files function (with an optional parser arg) that allows to retrieve the list of (non distribution-provided) ly files involved in making the current score.

* Issue 4776/2 Doc: Usage 1.2: update svg default font info...Default svg font-family values are now 'serif' 'sans-serif' and 'monospace' Paul Morris2016-02-281-11/+12
* Doc: NR and Usage - improved links for SVG...Issue 4774 Added a few extra words and an @ref so that users do not miss some 'extra' considerations when SVG is the intended output file type. James Lowe2016-02-241-0/+4

* Doc: Usage - Update svg & svg-woff backend text...Issue 4650 Update explanation so as to inform the user that they will need to make sure that the font/ WOFF font file information for anything other than LP Music glyphs are not included and need to be 'made available' to the SVG viewer separately. James Lowe2015-11-131-33/+39
* Issue 4605: Doc: Usage - Fix svg backend explanation...This commit fixes svg backend explanation. Masamichi Hosoda2015-09-231-11/+38
* Doc: typos in AU/externalJean-Charles Malahieude2015-08-091-2/+2
* Doc: External.itely - Add lyluatex...Issue 4525 Add reference to lyluatex. Renamed cumbersome node names and tidied up some @examples to make the PDF and HTML doc output easier to read. James Lowe2015-08-081-28/+45
* Doc: Usage - Update section on articulate.ly...Issue 4535 The section on MIDI w/articulate.ly was out of date. This section has been updated accordingly, including an @ref to the Notation Manual where it is more fully explained. Updated the intro para to this section and includes some useful @refs. James Lowe2015-08-081-25/+12
* Doc: Usage - tidy up of external.itely file...Issue 4536 In preparation for some work done on this file I have tried to get some consistency with regard to white space / line breaks between @nodes, @cindex et al to make the file easier to follow. Also I have corrected very obvious errors and excessive line lengths. Otherwise this is just a 'tidy up'patch. James Lowe2015-08-081-50/+60
* Doc: Usage - OOoLilyPond only works up to v4...Issue 4508 http://lists.gnu.org/archive/ html/lilypond-devel/2015-07/ msg00006.html The wording is taken from the same statement in the 'Easier Editing' section already pushed with commit dfd1134. James Lowe2015-07-241-1/+4
* Docs: remove implicit relative from @lilypond[verbatim]; issue 4371...Remove the lilypond-book feature of 'relative=n' in conjunctin with 'verbatim', so that examples cut-and-paste into user scores. Keith OHara2015-07-161-4/+4
* Issue 4442/2: Run scripts/auxiliar/update-with-convert-ly.sh -f 2.19.21...Also converts scm via find scm -name \*.scm -exec out/bin/convert-ly -en -f 2.19.21 -t 2.19.22 {} + David Kastrup2015-06-161-2/+2
* Run scripts/auxiliar/update-with-convert-ly.sh...Afterwards revert all changes in Documentation/snippets/*.ly (thus retaining Documentation/snippets/new), then run scripts/auxiliar/makelsr.py, leaving only the files in Documentation/snippets/new and their versions in Documentation/snippets converted: if we don't want to retain the automatic conversion rule, we only want to keep those files which do not get reconverted on reimport. David Kastrup2015-05-183-33/+33
* Doc:Usage - Additional info to General Suggestions...Issue 4143 Added suggestion, with example, of using Layout blocks to separate music and style. I also took the opportunity to update the text by removing all personal pronouns and adding some examples. Also re-set text to a consistent line length. James Lowe2015-02-071-43/+84
* Reduce size of PDF files when inc. in *TeX docs...Issue 4251 This changes the way lilypond uses fonts to draw glyphs. It avoids to used glyphshow for all emmentaler glyphs and adds encoding vectors to the emmentaler fonts before they are used. It also changes the ghostscript parameters used to generate pdfs from postscript code. These changes help to reduce pdf file sizes if you include lilypond snippets in *TeX documents. The pdfs generated by a patched lilypond and *tex themselves are _much_ bigger, but if you run ghostscript and pdfsizeopt.py on those files they implode. Doc additions to the Usage Manual included: Added a command line option --bigpdf / -b, and documented that option in the german and english versions of usage.pdf . Internal hyperlinks are fully preserved with current ghostscript git master. External hyperlinks (GoToR) _to_ a file processed this way are broken. Fixing this would require major changes to ghostscript. External hyperlinks _from_ a file processed this way to other pdfs are preserved if the reader program isn't broken (acroread is not broken in this respect, evince is). For more details see Ghostscript bug #695747 <http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=695747#c22> Knut Petersen2015-01-311-0/+28
* warning message for unspecified voicing; issue 4255Keith OHara2015-01-171-4/+5
* Doc: Clarified how to use clip-systems option...Issue 4219 Improved explanation of how to extract music fragments in the NR and the corresponding clip-systems option in Usage. Added some @cindex and @funindex as well as some @seealso. James Lowe2015-01-111-1/+4
* Doc: usage.itely...correct bad copy&paste: convert -> process Jean-Charles Malahieude2014-12-301-1/+1
* Doc: Usage - added more examples for lilypond...Issue 4220 Added example for mass input file processing including the cmds required for Windows Users. This was done on the back of Issue 4187 and the updates to the convert-ly section, also including similar command examples. James Lowe2014-12-141-0/+38
* Doc: Usage - update Convert-ly chapters...Issue 4187 Added some more examples to run convert-ly for 'mass' conversion. Included windows-specific cmds as well. I also took the opportunity (liberty?) to reword some of the paragraphs, for some awkward syntax, inconsistent use of phrases and file names and improve some of the more hard-to-fathom explanations. James Lowe2014-12-141-76/+137
* Doc: Issue 3324: Add explanation of clashing note columns warningTrevor Daniels2014-10-301-0/+36
* Doc: typos in lilypond-book.itelyJean-Charles Malahieude2014-10-261-7/+5
* Doc: Usage 1.2 - Added note about using wildcards...Issue 4147 Added note about being able to use wildcards with LilyPond in the 'Standard shell commands' section. Changed some of the text for Windows and MacOS users, who may not know what a 'shell' is, to reflect each OS's own nomenclature for their 'Terminal' applicatoin. Other minor typo fixes in this section. James Lowe2014-10-091-18/+25
* Doc: Usage: Add more explanation for LaTeX environ...Issue 4136 Taken from: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-lilypond/2014-08/msg00047.html Added paragraph explaining the finer details on how LaTeX handles environments using \begin{lilypond} ... \end{lilypond} James Lowe2014-10-021-6/+22
* Doc: Usage: Added a clarifying paragraph about Error Messages...Issue 3873 Added a clarifying paragraph explaining that (the same) diagnostics message can occur in multiple places for (the same) input depending on the type and its context. James Lowe2014-06-291-0/+7
* Issue 3950: \relative inside \unfold doesn't cause an extra staff anymore...This is a result of issue 3797. It might be nice to come up with another example demonstrating undesired implicit context creation, but this example was rather a bug than a direct consequence of well-defined but possibly sometimes inconvenient default behaviors. David Kastrup2014-06-201-24/+0
* Doc: Point-and-Click has wrong default and ref to SVG added...Issue 3854 Also made sure that references to Point-and-click are consistent through lily.scm and external.itely (including TexInfo formatting). Tried to get some consistency with regard to remove @code{} for PDF, PS and SVG when referring to the file type or viewer. James Lowe2014-02-232-25/+23

* Doc: Add mention of LibreOffice...Issue 3686 OooLilyPond works for LibreOffice as well as OpenOffice. Martin Tarenskeen2013-12-161-4/+5
* Add Changes entry for -dstrokeadjust and "Usage" entry.David Kastrup2013-12-071-0/+11
* Issue 3675: Make convert-ly -d only ever update on changed files...Previously, it updated unconditionally whenever a new stable version came out, leading to merge conflicts. When the final applied conversion is to an unstable version and the following stable version is not beyond the conversion target, the following stable version is used. Note that this rule does not make a factual difference for continuous updates of a code base (the normal use case for scripts/auxiliar/update-with-convert-ly.sh), but it makes a difference for the conversion/import of code that may have fallen behind a lot (like with the LSR import, or when converting archived files). David Kastrup2013-12-011-2/+5
* Doc: External.itely - add missing comma...Typo No tracker issue James Lowe2013-11-111-1/+1
* Issue 3572: convert-ly should produce several backup files for each invokation...This supports and documents the -b option for numbered backups. This was actually written primarily by Eluze. David Kastrup2013-10-111-1/+7
* Doc: Remove backslash from all node names and references (3590)... English docs only Trevor Daniels2013-10-101-3/+3

* Documentation fix for compatibility with texinfo 5.1...Patch by Don Armstrong (minus the @top change in changes.tely) Fixes issue 3382. http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3382 Julien Rioux2013-07-211-8/+8

* Issue 3368: Give additional info about Xpdf versions crashing under UbuntuDavid Kastrup2013-05-211-2/+17
* Issue 3354: Add point-and-click configuration for Evince to documentation...This covers GNOME 2 and GNOME 3 configuration (which may work for other viewers), and Apparmor configuration for Evince. It's fascinating how user-friendly today's desktop environments have become. David Kastrup2013-05-131-21/+113
* Doc: Error message: unexpected \new (3285)... Explain reason for the message and what should be done to avoid it. Trevor Daniels2013-04-171-0/+51
* Issue 3244: Remove -d old-relative compatibility option...This removes the lily_1_8_relative variable and the code surrounding it. lily_1_8_relative_used apparently was unused; Scheme code for interpreting its setting was not connected to the actual variable. The callback for repeat-music was not actually being used and has been removed. While the command line option was still documented, it was ineffective: only reenabling it in the file itself lead to any effect. ly:relative-music::relative-callback and ly:relative-music::no-relative-callback are now functionally equivalent.
