@tohecz Ooh! I didn't know. Is pdftex the same executable as tex, just using different options based on contents of arv[0], the name of the program entered?
@Nick A better place to learn about TeX as programming language: texdoc texbytopic to read the book "TeX by Topic" available through the TeX distribution's documentation system. But if you're new better to learn LaTeX first texdoc lshort if you haven't already.
@Iplodman Oh quite complicated to explain. :) Let me try: bem e mal (good and evil) and bom e mau (good and bad). It depends on the emphasis. If you want to say about the way, the implicit verb is ir or estar, you go with bem (modal adverb). If you want to say about state, then the implicit verb is estar, you go with bom (adjective). :)
@PauloCereda I'm just a hobbyist programmer foolhardily trying to work through "Fundamentals of Data Structures in C". Music scholar and performer (mostly church music now) by trade.
@PauloCereda So how do you write your own language? Do you have to write a compiler in another language first?
@AndrewCashner How nice! :) A fellow musician! @tohecz and I play in church too, @JosephWright plays the clarinet, @percusse is a great drummer, and @David's son loves playing the trombone to daddy's delight. :)
@PauloCereda andrewcashner.com/performance.html has two, audio only. But am happy to share scores. Right now I am mostly transcribing Mexican villancicos of the 17th century using Lilypond.
@PauloCereda For example, this is necessary to enter a two-line instrument name using the command `\TwoLineName #"SOPRANO" #"(solo)"`: TwoLineName = #(define-scheme-function (parser location first second) (scheme? scheme?) #{ \markup { \center-column { \line { $first } \line { $second } } } #})
@PauloCereda But I am very grateful for a free notation tool that produces very nice looking output, despite the frustrations.
@PauloCereda It's written in C++ but uses Scheme as the extension language. But as user, you use Lilypond syntax, which the program translates into Scheme, and then feeds to the C++ engine.
@Werner: Yes, i have already mentioned that i am using TexLive alongwith TexMaker Editor. I have already tried to run the command mentioned by you but it says No command 'tlmgr' — skm2 mins ago
@Iplodman: I was in a talk this afternoon and the orator said, that FB is on the decline, regarding the user online time....Whatsapp is the new FB ... well, predominantly without faces ;-)
@ChristianHupfer I started with friends I only know in my offline life, too, but I dismissed that policy soon enough: some of my “friends” are musicians and politicians – from the time when there were no fan pages...
@Werner Is it TeXLive2014 from TUG or the Debian package texlive (which should be called deb-texlive-minus-two-years or something like that)? If it's the Deb package, then there's no tlmgr installed.
@Werner I left a comment there. It is the classic texlive vs. TeXLive problem and I wish it would go away! I love Debian otherwise but I think their packaging of LaTeX is mistaken.
@egreg ok. Actually, dark beer is drunk a lot cut with a light one in Czechia to give it a bit more beerish taste (you of course cut dark Krušovice only with light Krušovice and not with any other beer)
@DavidCarlisle "I would like to ask you whether it would be possible to practice the piano in the church on Saturday" -- the part "it would be" stinks in my ears ...
@DavidCarlisle well, I don't want to write to my minister: If you fukin wanna me play teh piano on the sundey, you betta give me teh church keys so dat i can play before
@tohecz I have told the pastor at the church where I work that I expect the organ to be filled every hour possible with people practicing. Otherwise it's too hard to justify the heating expense to keep the organ in tune.
@AndrewCashner that's not the case either here. The case is: I exceptionally play during the service next Sunday, and I really need to practice somewhere
@AndrewCashner since realistic-sound electronic pianos appeared, this is no longer an issue :)
@tohecz how about: " let me practice on saturday or I'll mess up on sunday and your service will be ruined and all your congregation will leave in disgust" that should convince him.
@AndrewCashner cool. Well, I'm just an amateur, recently getting into arranging some songs from our "modern songbook" (and I've written couple intonations to hymns, too)
@tohecz On the first verse "Pisne radostny" (apologies for missing diacritics), you introduce a second voice in the right hand, which I like. But I think you could do something more with it.
@tohecz Since the melody has repeated notes, you could make the "alto" voice move a bit. You could have it go down like a mirror of the main motive of the melody, which goes up. Example...
@tohecz And in m. 11 I would add an A in the "Tenor" since you don't hear the third of the chord otherwise. But it might depend on the words, maybe the hollow sound of the open fourth is right.
@tohecz It's just a passing voice, not really a chord tone
@tohecz Okay, this is better for voice two, fits even better with the melody, and you don't have to change the bass part: r8 e'8 e'8 e'8 dis'8 cis'8 | e'2. | a8 b8 cis'8 b8 a8 | cis'1. | r8 gis8 a8 b4. | a2.
@tohecz Have never chatted in lilypond before. Also have never really known what I was talking about on this site before. Thanks. Back to my terrible amateurism at computer programming.
