Would it make sense to provide another varsegno symbol which looks
exactly as
the one I have drawn, but has no positive witdh (to the right of the
center)?
This sounds more elegant than the tweak above, but I'm not sure if
this alone is worth the effort of an additional symbol.
Me, too. It still feels somewhat clumsy to do it in this way, but on the
other hand - if it looks alright,
one more sign in the font should not be a big problem.
I just noticed that the 'extra-offset won't influence the spacing of the
notes before the bar line. The better property to tweak should be the
right-edge extra space, but this does not work if the line ends
prematurely. (See the attached example.)
Still, like Trevor I'm not sure why modifying the X-extent does not work
- this should be the favourite option, theoretically equivalent to
another glyph without positive width, right?
Another idea: Is it possible to have a double bar line at the end of a
line, and the segno bar line at the beginning of the next? What about
".S" doing this, as opposed to "S", or have an additional "||S" and
"S||"?
I must admit that I don't have lots of references for this symbol and
its use. If this is a sensible
default, there is no problem in defining ".S" just doing what you
proposed. Can you do some investigations?
As you posted the examples in the tracker, I think you are the most
important source of informations here ;-)
I don't really know if I saw the "||-before-break, S-after-break"
combination, but I think it makes sense to offer it since coda parts are
often seperated by double bar lines when the "default" segno sign is
above them.
I'll see what I can find in real examples. I don't think I have
anything more at my place, though, so I'll have to look through the
repertoire of my choir. (Again, I can't remember to have it seen in any
non-Bosworth & Co. scores...) I'll give you feedback ASAP.
Cheers,
Alexander
