Hi David, Yes, I think it's reasonable to confine the frame to a single line, even though the arrow must be breakable.
I'm also having problems using the construct on parallel staffs within a score. It works fine for a single staff, but when I try to use the same construct on two staffs simultaneously, I get, " warning: No start to this box. Preprocessing graphical objects...frameEngraver4.ly:124:23: In procedure ly:grob-property in expression (ly:grob-property frame (quote padding)):frameEngraver4.ly:124:23: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting Grob): () " I don't know how the Scheme is working here, so maybe you can try out two of these in parallel and let me know if it's working for you. best, Jeff On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 8:10 AM, David Nalesnik <david.nales...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi Jeffrey, > > On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 9:58 AM, Jeffrey Trevino > <jeffrey.trevi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi there, > > > > The box construct from this thread is working fine on my machine, but I'd > > like to know how to add one important feature to it: It's currently the > case > > that the arrow isn't "breakable," i. e. if the box's entire duration > exceeds > > the graphic space of the first line, the arrow stops on the first line > and > > you end up with a bunch of blank space on the second line.
