Hello all, Is there a way to make LilyPond ignore collisions or spacing issues between a markup text and other staves or grobs? For instance, consider this example below:
\version "2.19.37" \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { des''4 f'' e'_\markup{ \hspace #-1.5 \center-column { \combine \arrow-head #Y #UP ##t \draw-line #'(0 . -10) \circle "103" } } aes' } \new Staff { \clef bass c1 } >> Producing: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n198127/1.png> As you see, LilyPond stretches the staves quite a lot in order avoid a collision between the bottom staff and the text (marked in red). So if I want that arrow to actually cross over the bottom staff, the only way I managed so far is using this approach: \version "2.19.37" \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { des''4 f'' e' aes' } \new Staff { \clef bass c1*1/2 \once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(0 . 8) s2_\markup{ \hspace #-1.5 \center-column { \combine \arrow-head #Y #UP ##t \draw-line #'(0 . -10) \circle "103" } } } >> Producing: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n198127/2.png> The problem with this approach is two-fold: first, it's a bit ugly as it involves multiplying the durations and using invisible rests to get the markup in the right position. And secondly: this may very well affect the distance between systems or between the last system and the margin, in the case of a bottom system. So is there a way better way of solving this? Cheers!
