Hello all! A few weeks ago, in response to Mike Solomon's call for features and bugs, I posted a request:
>> 2. Allowing a text markup (especially a MetronomeMark) to have a "minimum >> measure length". This would avoid collisions, particularly where there are >> lots of multi-measure rests (e.g., orchestral parts). His response was: > #2 is doable via a hack. Minimum lengths can only work if you use spanners, > but you can hijack the tempo print function for a text spanner (and suppress > the line afterwards) and then create a scheme engraver for text spanner that > uses whatever as the left bound and the next bar line's non-musical paper > column as the right bound. Or you could just use the existing engraver and > use the last note in the measure as a bound, although this will potentially > create uneven spacing in a measure. > > You'll have to manually put this TextSpanner in the topmost context and/or > use ly:side-position-interface::move-to-extremal-staff (I'd recommend the > former, as the latter is powerful but falls in the category of LilyPond black > magic). Make sure to use springs and rods and set a minimum-length - there's > an example in the docs with a hairpin or glissando or something spanner-y > that does this. Is there anyone out there who can work on this with me? I've got some money to put towards the implementation. Thanks!
