Hi Keith, Thanks for the answer. Mmh, using a zero-duration invisible rest is quite tricky (considering we want to print an instrument cue name)! I'm not confident in having tricky things in the doc. Sure there is a problem and it can be "solved" (more like a workaround, IMHO) but better to report the problem in order to have a proper solution to be implemented (like a true "InstrumentCueName" object or whatever the devs would consider). And then mention this new feature in the doc. > They work fine for when a player switches from Flute to Piccolo and back. > <http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/notation/writing-parts#index- > instrumentSwitch> > > The difficulty was in trying to inject the right instrumentSwitch text > into the automatically-created CueVoice. When instruments cue from each > other, it becomes a very difficult to keep the voices straight. There is actually a snippet implementing "namedCueDuring" that use this instrumentCueName! And it seems to work well AFAICS. http://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=388 It would be great if someone could "extend" cueDuring so it can take *optional* arguments, like cueClef, instrumentCueName, etc. A "\with-like" syntax: \cueDuring #flute \with { instrumentCueName = "flute" % if not set, do not print InstrumentCueName cueClef = "treble" % if not set, no clef % or alternatively cueClef could be defined but printed only when % needed; in this case we need an automatic "thing" that should % know if the clef currently used by the "main instrument" is % the same as the clef used for the cue (quoted) instrument. cueDirection = NEUTRAL % actually I need this, currently we can only define cued UP or % DOWN but I have seen in many scores cues with normal ("neutral") % stem directions (idem for ties, slurs, etc. -> equiv. \oneVoice). } { R1 } Maybe Reinhold would have better thoughts about this. > The smaller size does not come from instrument switch; it comes from > the settings of CueVoice. fontSize = #-4 Thanks! Seems obvious now that you have said it!
