Hi Ben,
I need to create a wind ensemble engraving where the time signatures
are large and *within* the staves themselves, overlapping specific
instruments/groups throughout the score. I know how to place the time
signatures above the staff but I can't find a way to place them within
the instruments and groups.
Does anyone know a snippet or function that allows this? Is it fairly
easy to implement?
The first variant is very easy to achieve:
\version "2.19.80"
noTimeSig = { \omit TimeSignature }
largeTimeSig = {
\numericTimeSignature
\override Staff.TimeSignature.font-size = 9
}
\new StaffGroup <<
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
c''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \largeTimeSig {
d''4
}
\new Staff \with \noTimeSig {
d''4
}
>>
The second one is harder because it probably involves dealing with the
precise amount of space between to staves - maybe for determining the
size, but certainly for the positioning (which should be centered with
respect to a group of two or more staves). It's no problem at all to
move the time signature downwards, a fixed amount, but this is bound to
mess up when inter-staff space varies. Logically, such a time signature
should not be belong to a single staff but to a set of successive
staves. Maybe one of the Lilypond/Scheme-wizards here will come up with
something like that.
Best
Lukas
Thank you!
