Hello all,
In the snippet included below, I'm using a custom ScoreMarks context to show
MetronomeMarks (plus, in the real world, RehearsalMarks and other things) above
the system. The problem is, in order to have the MetronomeMark align correctly
with the TimeSignature, I must (?) include the TimeSignature in some form or
other. But I don't want the actual grob to appear, or affect spacing in any way
*other than* helping with alignment.
All the attempts I've tried (\omit-s, stencil tweaks, etc.) throw "cyclic chain
in pure-Y-offset callbacks" errors, which I have just been ignoring (for years
now). But I'd like to solve this once and for all, if possible…
1. Is the error more serious than a simply aesthetic problem?
2. If not, is there some way to avoid seeing the errors?
3. In any case, is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to do (i.e., one
that won't cause the error in the first place)?
Thanks,
Kieren.
