Hi all, In the attached snippet, I must adjust the [non-visual] duration of the whole note and manually add an explicit \bar "" command in order to break the line where I want it.
Is there any way to avoid this? I'd like to say, in effect, "during this passage, every (e.g.) eighth note should be considered a breakable point for the purposes of layout calculations". All notes would maintain their original duration (at least visually), all beaming would stay as expected, etc. — it would just allow breaking "everywhere". A command like \override Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-interval = #(ly:make-moment 1/8) would be amazing. I do a lot of polymetric passages, some with mixed meters on each staff, so doing layout work becomes a challenge when you have to keep adjusting durations, adding \bar-s, etc. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated — code that solves my problem, even more so! Thanks, Kieren. %%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.19" \layout { line-width = 3\in ragged-right = ##f indent = 0 \context { \Score \remove "Timing_translator" \remove "Default_bar_line_engraver" } \context { \Staff \consists "Timing_translator" \consists "Default_bar_line_engraver" } } << \new Staff { \time 3/2 c''1 2 } \new Staff { \time 3/4 c''4 4 4 \break 4 4 4} >> << \new Staff { \time 3/2 c''1*3/4 \bar "" s4 c''2 } \new Staff { \time 3/4 c''4 4 4 \break 4 4 4} >> %%% SNIPPET ENDS ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
