Libre Office Impress media insert for complete presentation, not only slides

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04LTS. When I was making up a PowerPoint presentation in Impress, I couldn't figure out how to make a music selection play continously throughout the slide show.

It starts on the first slide but then stops and starts over again when the second slide presents and on down the line. I want to make this sound playing all the way continously. The "Help" file didn't make it clear how to do that.

I want to embed sound file into the presentation, so it can be put on a CD, then be used in another Linux computer also later.

• libreoffice

• Hi, Gary. What Impress are you using? Apache OpenOffice, LibreOffice... what version? 3, 4, 5? I guess it's LibreOffice 5.1.6, ok? –  Redbob Commented Sep 18, 2017 at 14:26

You can use the Slide Transition pane to set up Impress so that a sound or a song is played throughout the presentation. To do that:

• Select the slide where you want the sound to start and go to the Slide transition pane.
• In the 'Modify transition' section, select the entry 'Other sound' from the Sound drop-down menu.
• Select the 'Loop until next sound' checkbox if you want the sound to restart once it is finished.

Do NOT click the 'Apply to all' button, otherwise your selected sound will restart at every slide.

If you just do slide transitions, nothing happens. You need to go to the 'View' and activate the sidebar, then it works.

• TNX--I got it working for now--I was clicking the "Apply to all" and that was what was messing me up supposedly. –  Gary Commented Sep 19, 2017 at 1:00
• Am using the Libre office version 5.1.6.2 –  Gary Commented Sep 19, 2017 at 1:01
• Gary, if the answer helped you, please mark it as correct. This is a huge benefit to others searching for a solution. –  emk2203 Commented Sep 20, 2017 at 19:41

OOoLilyPond

Include LilyPond music fragments into Office documents

latest release: 2024-11-19 09:05:05

Description

OOoLilyPond (OLy) is a LibreOffice/OpenOffice extension to include LilyPond music fragments in

• text documents (Writer),
• spreadsheets (Cald),
• presentations (Impress) and
• drawings (Draw).

Installation

• Being a LibreOffice / OpenOffice extension, you need a version of LibreOffice / OpenOffice installed on your computer, first.
• Second, the music engraving software LilyPond must be installed on your system.
• Then just download the latest OLy release from the download page.
• The extension can be installed either by opening it with LibreOffice or by following these steps in the menu:

Extras > Extension Manager… > Add…

and then choosing the downloaded extension file (.oxt).

Your toolbars in Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw should now have a new "OLy" button which launches the extension.

You can find a detailed documentation in the OOoLilyPond wiki .

LilyPond is a powerful musical typesetting software that compiles given source code into graphical output, just like LaTeX does with mathematical formulas.

OOoLilyPond enables you to enter LilyPond code from within your Office document. Both the resulting image and its source code will be embedded within the document. No need to keep any additional files other than the Writer/Draw/Impress document itself.

To create a new OLy object, just click the "OLy" button and an editor window will open. Enter some LilyPond code and click the "LilyPond" button. After successful compiling, the editor window will close and the resulting image will be visible in your document.

To edit an existing object, select it first and then click the "OLy" button. In the editor window you will have access to your code again.

If you want to get to know LilyPond, a good place to start is the introduction into LilyPond.

Compatibility

OOoLilyPond (OLy) works with recent versions of LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Older versions should work as well. It has even been tested with OpenOffice 2.4 without issues.

Update: Some partial incompatibilities have occured in LibreOffice 6.1.0 to 6.1.4 - see Issue 22 .

Any content (LilyPond code, templates, OLy configuration files) created with/for older OLy versions (OLy 0.3.x, OLy 0.4.x, OLy 0.5.x) will work with OLy 1.0.x, but not necessarily vice versa.
