Hi, I am trying to get accidentals to be reset at every word break in a section of music without meter; I found some code to advance the internalBarNumber, in order to force the accidentals to be reset:
> resetAccidentals = \applyContext > #(lambda (x) > (begin > (ly:context-set-property! > (ly:context-property-where-defined x 'internalBarNumber) > 'internalBarNumber > (1+ (ly:context-property x 'internalBarNumber))) > )) > After this definition, putting in a \resetAccidentals in between words is working correctly causing the accidentals to get reset. However, I wanted something more automatic, but I am not sure exactly how to go about it. I remembered an engraver I had seen that collected lyric words by looking at lyric-hyphen-interface grobs and checking for LyricSpace ones, so I tried to write something to advance the internalBarNumber whenever a LyricSpace is encountered, but it isn't working reliably. This is what I had: > resetAccidentalsAtNewWordsEngraver = > #(lambda (context) > (let ((new-word #f)) ; signal to end word and begin another > (make-engraver > > (acknowledgers > ((lyric-hyphen-interface engraver grob source-engraver) > (let* ((props (ly:grob-basic-properties grob)) > (meta (assoc-get 'meta props)) > (text-items (ly:grob-object grob 'text-items)) > (name (assoc-get 'name meta))) > ; reset accidentals by incrementing bar number at every > LyricSpace > (if (eq? name 'LyricSpace) (ly:context-set-property! > (ly:context-property-where-defined context > 'internalBarNumber) > 'internalBarNumber > (1+ (ly:context-property context > 'internalBarNumber))))) > )))) > > ) However, I am still trying to figure out how engravers and contexts work to be able to know exactly what's going on. Thanks for any help or ideas, *Benjamin Bloomfield*
