Tommaso Gordini · Davide Liessi LATEX e LilyPond Verona, 18-10-2014 21 / 60 Problemi della stampa musicale Spazieggiatura dei simboli I Spaziatura dei simboli nella misura Nella scrittura della musica, la distribuzione degli spazi deve tenere conto di molti elementi. Quali? 1 I valori di durata delle note. 2 La direzione del gambo delle note. 3 La densità di simboli nella misura. 4 La combinazione verticale dei simboli sui righi. Tommaso Gordini · Davide Liessi LATEX e LilyPond Verona, 18-10-2014 22 / 60 Chapter 1: Music engraving 5 B¨arenreiter (1950) Henle (2000) When we wanted to write a computer program to create music typography, there were no musical fonts freely available that could match the elegance of our favorite scores. Undeterred, we created a font of musical symbols, relying on nice printouts of hand-engraved music. The experience helped develop a typographical taste, and it made us appreciate subtle design details. Without that experience, we would not have realized how ugly the fonts were that we admired at first. Below is a sample of two music fonts: the upper set is the default font in the Sibelius software (the Opus font), and the lower set is our own LilyPond font. The LilyPond symbols are heavier and their weight is more consistent, which makes them easier to read. Fine endings, such as the ones on the sides of the quarter rest, should not end in sharp points, but rather in rounded shapes. This is because sharp corners of the punching dies are fragile and quickly wear out when stamping in metal. Taken together, the blackness of the font must be carefully tuned together with the thickness of lines, beams and slurs to give a strong yet balanced overall impression. Also, notice that our half-note head is not elliptic but slightly diamond shaped. The vertical stem of a flat symbol is slightly brushed, becoming wider at the top. The sharp and the natural are easier to distinguish from a distance because their angled lines have different slopes and the vertical strokes are heavier. Optical spacing In spacing, the distribution of space should reflect the durations between notes. However, as we saw in the Bach Suite above, many modern scores adhere to the durations with mathematical precision,Problemi della which stampa leads musicale to poor results. In the next example a motif is printed twice: the first timeSpazieggiatura using dei exact simboli II mathematical spacing, and the second with corrections. Which do you prefer? In questo motivetto, le teste delle note sono spazieggiate in modo uniforme: ! ! ! # " ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Chapter 1:! Music engraving 6 Questo, invece, è quello che avrebbe fatto un maestro incisore: " ! ! ! ! ! ! # ! ! ! ! ! ! Quale vi piace di più? Tommaso Gordini · Davide Liessi LATEX e LilyPond Verona, 18-10-2014 23 / 60 Each bar in the fragment only uses notes that are played in a constant rhythm. The spacing should reflect that. Unfortunately, the eye deceives us a little; not only does it notice the distance between note heads, it also takes into account the distance between consecutive stems. As a result, the notes of an up-stem/down-stem combination should be put farther apart, and the notes of a down-stem/up-stem combination should be put closer together, all depending on the combined vertical positions of the notes. The lower two measures are printed with this correction, the upper two measures, however, form down-stem/up-stem clumps of notes. A master engraver would adjust the spacing as needed to please the eye. The spacing algorithms in LilyPond even take the barlines into account, which is why the final up-stem in the properly spaced example has been given a little more space before the barline to keep it from looking crowded. A down-stem would not need this adjustment. Ledger lines Ledger lines present a typographical challenge: they make it more difficult to space musical symbols close together and they must be clear enough to identify the pitch at a glance. In the example below, we see that ledger lines should be thicker than normal staff lines and that an expert engraver will shorten a ledger line to allow closer spacing with accidentals.
