Re: Lilypond-book indentation

[Matthew Syvinski]

Thank you for your willingness to look at this.

 

Background info:  This is part of what is intended to be a LARGE liturgical work. 

 

Package "liturgix" is basically a set of convenience functions I wrote for typesetting Orthodox liturgical works.  I can't imagine that it has ANY interaction with LilyPond, since it is never called within LilyPond, nor is LilyPond called from within these commands.

 

The parent LaTeX document looks like this:

 

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{liturgix}
\usepackage{pslatex}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setlength{\parindent}{0in}
\oddsidemargin 0.0in
\textwidth 6.5in
\textheight 9.25in
\topmargin 0.0in
\headheight 0.0in
\headsep -0.3in
%\footheight 0.1in
\title{The Paschal Liturgy, including the Reading of the Acts of the Apostles, Midnight Office,
Matins of the Resurrection, and the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom}
\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\Huge{The Paschal Liturgy}\\*
\Large{comprising the Reading of the Acts of the Apostles,\\*Midnight Office,
Matins of the Resurrection,\\*and the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom}\\~\\
\end{center}
\input{acts.latex} % Reading of the Acts of the Apostles
\input{midoff.latex} % Midnight Office
\input{resmat.latex} % Matins of the Resurrection

 

The music is called from within resmat.latex.  The referencing LaTeX document looks like this:

 

\litsec{Matins of the Resurrection}
\litsubsec{Thy Resurrection}
\rubric{At midnight, all lights in the church are extinguished, except for one in the altar.
The following is sung thrice by the clergy, then sung continuously by the people during the procession.}
\tone{Stichera, Tone Six}
\lilypondfile[quote]{./resmat/thyres.ly}

 

The odd-looking commands are from custom "liturgix"

 

The music (LilyPond file) called from resmat.latex looks like this (it is partially done because I wanted to test first).  I get a musical score (correctly written), but the indent problem is present:

 

\version "2.10.12"
\include "english.ly"

 

\paper{
  left-margin = 0.0\in
  line-width = 6.0\in
}

 

sopranoLine =
{
 #(set-accidental-style 'forget)
 \clef treble
 \key g \major
 \set Score.timing = ##f
 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t

 

g'4 g'\breve g'4 fs'2 g'2^\fermata \bar "|" % bar 1
a'4 a'4 a'4 a'4 a'2 g'2 a'2^\fermata \bar "|" % bar 2

g'4 g'4 g'4 g'4 g'4 g'4 g'2 g'4 fs'4^\fermata fs'4^\fermata g'1^\fermata \bar "|." % bar 4

 

}
%{
altoLine =

 \set Score.timing = ##f
 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t

 

}

 

tenorLine =

 \key g \major
 \set Score.timing = ##f
 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t

 

}

 

bassLine =
{

 

 #(set-accidental-style 'forget)
 \clef bass
 \key g \major
 \set Score.timing = ##f
 \override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t

 

}
%}

 

lyricsLine = \lyricmode
{
\set fontSize = #0

}

 

\score

 \new Voice = "upper"
  {
   \autoBeamOff
   \sopranoLine
  }
 \new Lyrics \lyricsto "upper" \lyricsLine
 >>

\layout { ragged-right = ##f indent = 0.0\in line-width=6.0\in}
}
