Hi James,
Oh, thanks, I actually solved my problem.
When Mats said
I hope you know about the built-in capabilities in LilyPond to
handle non-standard
key signatures. As long as you only want to have normal flat and
sharp symbols
in your custom key signature, there should be no need to typeset
it manually using markups.
I believe he was pointing you towards a solution more like
{
\set Staff.printKeyCancellation = ##f
\once \override Staff.KeySignature #'X-extent = #'(0 . 6)
\set Staff.keySignature = #'(((0 . 5) . -1/2) ((0 . 2) . -1/2)
((0 . 6) . -1/2))
\clef mezzosoprano
\once \override Staff.TimeSignature #'X-extent = #'(-4 . -0.5)
\grace { s1 }
\once \override Staff.Clef #'full-size-change = ##t
\clef tenor
\once \override Staff.KeySignature #'rotation = #'(180 0 -.43)
\set Staff.keySignature = #'(((0 . 1) . -1/4) ((0 . 4) . -1/4)
((0 . 0) . -1/4))
s1
}
While it's a few more lines of code than yours, it is "more
correct", musically speaking.
What I mean by that is, my code really *has* changed the key
signature -- so that, for example, accidentals will work "as
expected", you won't have problems with transposition, the spacing
of the key signature elements are consistent, etc. -- whereas your
code simply makes the key signature *look* like it's been changed.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.
[p.s. For the record, I didn't take the time to make sure that the
second key signature change was "correct" -- if you adopt this
option, you'll have to make sure that the scale tones are actually
adjusted according to your wishes...]
Well, to be honest, I was actually trying to make the clef the two
clefs spaced far apart enough that the key signature could be the two
key signatures spaced far apart enough that the second clef would fit
between them. So close, but at least now I have a little more
information about x-extent
