When I use the parenthesizeMusic function or the snippet in LSR-902 with a winged repeat bar, the parenthesis collides with the bar. I have not been able to find a way to pad the bar or the parentheses in a way that avoids this. [in this code I could simply reduce the font size, but that does not fix the issue in my score]
\relative c'' { \override ParenthesesItem.font-size = 7 \override ParenthesesItem.extra-offset = #(lambda (grob) (cons 0 (* -1/2 (ly:grob-staff-position grob)))) g2 r4 \parenthesizeMusic { d'8 bes8 } \bar":|]" } On Thu, Jul 1, 2021 at 12:59 AM Aaron Hill <lilyp...@hillvisions.com> wrote: > On 2021-06-30 9:07 pm, Aaron Hill wrote: > > On 2021-06-30 9:00 pm, Mark Probert wrote: > >> Hi. > >> > >> I've looked through docs and snippets and can't seem to find a way to > >> place parens around a horizontal group of notes (an "optional" > >> indicator for leadsheets).
