Greetings Bug Squad, Currently the function "make-connected-path-stencil"[1] does not allow you to specify the starting point (origin) of the path, but arbitrarily hard-codes it as (0 0). This makes the function less flexible for no good reason.
(Well, at least none that I can see, unless for some reason the code that calculates the size of the stencil depends on it, but that seems unlikely.) I think it would make more sense for the origin to be defined by the first point in the "pointlist" argument. A proposed revision making this change is in the attached file. It contains a revision of this function, as found in stencil.scm in the LilyPond source code (including David Kastrup's recent improvements[2]). The changes start at line 77. (I suppose that if this change went forward then convert-ly would need to add a "(0 0)" in the appropriate place to explicitly set the path origin wherever this function has been used, to keep from mangling existing stencils...) Thanks for considering, -Paul [1] http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?u=1&id=891 [2] http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3624 _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
