I was recently typesetting a Gershwin song with a very short (2-note) ottava bracket, which needed the octavation text "8va bassa ad lib." This text is too long for the bracket, so I considered reducing text size and using column markup; but the Staff.octavation property takes text, not markup, and it doesn't support font-size. Then I tried using a TextSpanner, but was unsuccessful in getting the vertical edge at the end of the spanner. It seems that these vertical edges are only supported for grobs that support the horizontal-bracket-interface.
This is probably a stupid question, but is there any way of forcing the TextSpanner to implement the horizontal-bracket-interface? I'm sure this would involve overriding the stencil, which would be a daunting (if even possible) task. Anyone have any ideas? --Daniel _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
