Hello LilyPonders, I am currently engraving some older compositions of mine with LilyPond (previously I used Sibelius), and I came across a problem I couldn't solve on my own. I have this composition for organ which uses something called "continuation bar", which basically means that all pitches connected to this bar will be held down until the bar stops (creating a cluster in the meantime). If the notes have diamond noteheads and an "X" in their stem, they are supposed to be released from the cluster at that specific point. This is a very untraditional notation, but I am certainly not the first one to use it. Here is an excerpt of the original score:
<http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n167937/goal.png> In LilyPond, I could reproduce it quite well (actually, it looks wonderfully well when compared to that horrible notation of Sibelius), but I just can't make the continuation bar to last exactly until the barline (it is a little shorter). See: <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n167937/attempt.png> The way I am notating this is as follow: the half-notes (both with regular and diamond noteheads) belong to voice one, while voice two contains eighth notes and invisible rests. These eighth notes are responsible for the extra stems and beam. I use a function to have the stems centralized below the noteheads, and a little variable to add the "X" to the stems when necessary. This is the code for this bar: Cycles.ly <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n167937/Cycles.ly> So does anyone have any suggestions on how to extend the beam exactly until the barline? Thanks a lot!
