My project requires SVG rather than PDF output but LP 2.19 gives
unexpected, unacceptable results in the spacing of some elements. The
PDF for the code below looks fine. In the SVG, not only does the tempo
mark print on top of the first two bar numbers but the spacing of text
in the tempo mark is goofed up--the metronome quarter note collides with
the "=" and I think the dash between tempo values is off to one side.
I'm a Lilypond novice. So far I've tried adding markups to the tempo
command but they haven't worked or they've crashed. I'm quite willing to
add lengthy hacky spacing commands even if they make the PDF look
terrible, as long as they give the desired SVG output. So if anyone can
suggest some specific commands to try, including where to put them, I'm
content to experiment with nudge values and other options until the SVG
positioning comes out ok. And if you already know that what I'm trying
to kludge isn't kludgeable, please let me know.
If it matters, I'm making separate MIDI versions of the scores so the
tempo mark doesn't have to be a "real" one.
I do see there's a patch addressing SVG spacing issue. Even if that
patch fixes what I'm complaining about, I don't know from patches and
fear that learning how to patch and compile Lilypond is beyond what I
can do for now. If anyone can direct me to or provide me with a Windows
version of Lilypond 2.19+ compiled with the SVG-fixing patch, well that
would be marvelous.
Thank you,
Steve Cummings
