Dear list Preface (go down for actual question): --------------------------------------- I am still struggling with moving my dynamics around. I want to get rid of all those extra-offsets, after you told me that it’s the wrong approach. So I dug into the docs and lsr again, and found out about setting Y-extent so that lilypond thinks that the dynamic mark takes up no vertical space.
However, that’s overshooting the target. All I’m trying to achieve is to move the mark around and then let lilypond do the layouting again. The goal is to minimise the staff’s extent by putting dynamic marks next to its note, so they don’t push out the lyrics so much. Actual question: --------------------------------------- So instead of hoping to find a snippet on the interwebs for each single case and playing with the numbers without knowing why they behave as they do, I would like to understand what they actually mean. All the IR says about Y-extent is "hardcoded extent in Y direction". So what exactly do those two numbers denote? Is it minimum/maximum? Extent below/above baseline? Offset/size? A real life example of my current work: Just by coincidence I found the ideal figures for the attached snippet (the forte mark under the \tempo text), but only through poking in the dark. Now that I’ve found them and trying numbers just slightly off, I’m still puzzled. As always, I appreciate your insight. :-) PS.: Is it correct that the stems of Elias’s tied halves are so long? -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla' Please do not use my email addresses within any Facebook service.
