Okay, I get that. That's why Score.repeatCommands doesn't work. > - overriding 'break-align-orders is not necessary for \bar to work; it > just allows the tuning of the repeat position. > This, however, doesn't seem to be true. I cannot get \bar "|:" to print without either using Score.BreakAlignment or else using a skip before the \bar "|:" (to "attach" the \bar "|:" to, if I had to guess), and using the skip moves the repeat sign even further than Score.BreakAlignment does, if in the opposite direction. > I'd suggest that you remove the 'break-align-orders override from the > \bar "|:" example; it just increases the complexity of the snippet and > also results in the repeat sign being too close to the time signature, > which would require another override to fix. > > Regards, > Neil Peace, Ralph _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
