Hi William,
In the following example, I use a section label and a TextScript on a
note. I offset the markup text so that it appears inside the staff, but
it still makes the section text higher up. I would like to know if it
is possible to disable this padding around the TextScript, so that the
section label appears directly over the staff without the extra space,
the same way as it does when there is no text script.
There are ways to "disable the padding" (a.k.a. have the spacing engine
ignore the TextScript). However, it might be just as easy — or maybe
even easier? — to simply tweak the X-offset and Y-offset rather than
using extra-offset:
%%% SNIPPET BEGINS
% ----------
\version "2.25.7"
\score {
\relative c' {
\once \override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #'( -6 . 0 )
\once \override TextScript.extra-offset = #'(-6 . -3)
\once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f
\sectionLabel "Section label (extra-offset)"
\clef alto c2^\markup\whiteout\bold "Text"
}
}
\score {
\relative c' {
\once \override NoteHead.extra-spacing-width = #'( -6 . 0 )
\once \override TextScript.X-offset = -6
\once \override TextScript.Y-offset = -0.375
\once \override TextScript.outside-staff-priority = ##f
\sectionLabel "Section label (X-offset + Y-offset)"
\clef alto c2^\markup\whiteout\bold "Text"
}
}
%%% SNIPPET ENDS
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
