Hello all,
I searched the issue tracker and LSR, but couldn’t find anything related to
this.
(Apologies if I missed it.)
Please consider the output of following snippet:
%%% BEGIN SNIPPET
\version "2.19.35"
cees = { c'8 8 8 8 }
tinyteeny = {
\time 2/4
\cees
\tiny \cees
\teeny \cees
\new CueVoice { \cees }
<< R2 \new CueVoice { \cees } >>
}
\score {
\new Staff \tinyteeny
}
%%% END SNIPPET
The stem lengths are identical for all notehead sizes; note also that this is
independent of whether CueVoice is explicitly used, and if so whether the
CueVoice is simultaneous with another voice.
While this output is perhaps logical/intuitive, it looks odd to my eye. And
it’s definitely not the accepted convention (cf. Gould, p. 569: “Cue notation
is about three-quarters the size of full-sized notation […] All notation
symbols that are part of the cue […] are scaled down. Stem lengths are 2-2½
stave-spaces long.”).
I think Lilypond should [optionally?] calculate the stem length *relative to
the notehead size*, so that the smaller notes look like “real music”.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kieren.
