SOLVED: strange beam behavior

Wed, 02 Nov 2005 11:59:11 -0800

Hi everyone,

The \partial command did, in fact, fix this. Below is the revised Lilypond code and a link to the PNG of the 2 affected lines.


Making the first group of 5 16ths into a "partial bar" and explicitly specifying an invisible bar between the partial figure and the next figure solves the strange beaming in both lines.

Thanks for the advice, Mats and Edward!

melody = \relative c'' {
\key g \major % \minor
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
\override Score.BarNumber #'transparent = ##t
\cadenzaOn

% LOTS OF CUT CODE

% #### Line 3 ####

b4 ( \bar "" \partial 16*5 c16 [ b a b ) d\staccato ] \bar "" c8 ( [ \setTextCresc d16\< c b c ) e\staccato ] d8 ( [ e16 d cis d ) f\staccato ] e8 ( [ f!16 e dis e ) g\staccato ] f!1\f \breathe

\bar "" \break


% #### Line 4 ####

\bar "" \break

}

Best wishes,
Scott

But, the \partial command is supposed to fix that, isn't it?
There shouldn't be any need for manual beams.

Hi Scott,

Even though it is a cadenza, the beams still work in
4/4.  If you count it out, you will realise that the
beams are split in the natural place for 4/4 time.  To
override this, please read the Manual beams section in
the manual

Cheers,

Hello Lilypond folks,

I'm a (relatively) novice Lilypond user. I'm working
on some non- measured (cadenza-like) material and have
encountered a strange  situation.

The five sixteenth notes of the 2nd figure in Line 3
... c8  ( [ \setTextCresc d16\< c b c ) e\staccato ] ...
should all be beamed  together. What I'm seeing in the output is the
second flag on the d  facing left all by itself, then the remaining 4
sixteenths beamed  together with both flags. If I remove the first
(unaffected) figure,  the problem resolves in the second figure, but moves
to the third  figure. (It all makes sense if you compile and look
at the output.)

On a related note, the way this code is currently
edited, line 4  looks OK. BUT, if I remove the "modified" line 3,
you'll see the same  strange beam behavior in the "fis16 [ ( g" sixteenth
notes in the  middle of the line.

Any ideas on how to make these beamings work?

Thanks!


\version "2.6.3"

% #### Line 3 ####

% ORIGINAL - doesn't work - first figure OK, second
figure wrong,  third and fourth figures OK.

f!16 e dis e ) g \staccato ] f!1\f \breathe

\bar "" \break

% MODIFIED - removed first figure - now it moves the
error into the  next figure - why?
c8 ( [ \setTextCresc d16\< c b c ) e\staccato ] d8 (
[ e16 d cis d ) f \staccato ] e8 \( [ f!16 e dis e \) g\staccato ]
