Dear list,I'm typesetting unmetered music. My question is: what is the right (or best) approach to do so?
If I set Score.timing to false, I have to insert \bar "" everywhere in order to let lilypond figure out a nice layout. That's tedious.
My current approach is this:
----
\layout {
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
\override BarLine #'transparent = ##t
\override TimeSignature #'transparent = ##t
}
\context {
\PianoStaff
\override SpanBar #'stencil =
#(lambda (grob)
(if (string=? (ly:grob-property grob 'glyph-name) "|")
(set! (ly:grob-property grob 'glyph-name) ""))
(ly:span-bar::print grob))
}
}
----
At the beginning of the music I do: \set Timing.defaultBarType = ""
So, I set the music with meter - providing lilypond many good points to
insert line breaks - and I make all barlines empty and hide the meter.
The problem is that the (empty) bar lines still occupy space, causing
the notes to be spaced unevenly (see attached example - the bottom part
is where the bar lines are when they are not empty. The space before the
final note is really bad).
I tried to set the next-note distance to 0 in the space-alist of barline, but that didn't remove all horizontal space.
Is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance. Best, Peter van Kranenburg
