Text Spanner, with Text left-aligned to bar-line, and spanner line right-aligned to subsequent bar-line?
G'day, FP here.
Here's my code:
capoVHalf = {
%\context { \Score \override RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #RIGHT }
%\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details l X) = #0
%\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right X) = #40
%\override TextSpanner #'(bound-details right padding) = #-20
%\once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT
%\once \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left
stencil-align-dir-X) = #LEFT
\once \override TextSpanner #'to-barline = ##t
\once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #0.6
\once \override TextSpanner #'(bound-details left text) = \markup {
\tiny { "½ Capo V" } }
}
It seems I can align around a bar-line, if I just use a text Mark, and
can only align the text (rehearsal mark) to a note if I want a spanner
line, eg for a guitar Capo marking, with the line extending over the
bars that the capo applies to.
This is standard notation for guitars.
I can right-align the spanner line as seen above ( #'to-barline = ##t)
by moving the corresponding \stopTextSpan to _after_ the subsequent
note to which it really applies, but at least it looks right.
But I can't get the text left aligned to the start of the bar in which
it appears; it always aligns around the center of the note to which it
follows.
Any one know if it's possible to achieve proper Capo notating with lilypond?
Thanks in advance
Zenaan

Thank you for this. I shall be sure to do so in future. Glad my First Post did not cause a furnace of flames. Your guidance on posting is appreciated. It was a very late night for me, trying to learn Lilypond basics, to get as far as I got. So much reading, googling ...

Hi David, got back home and your example works well on 2.14.2! Great!
But I failed to make it work in my context. I tidied and reduced my
score and attached (3.4KiB).
I've tried using your capo spanner in the melodyA part, and in the
bassA part, and the melody gives error, and when in the bass part, the
capo spanner only lines up with notes.
You can see my commented out attempt in the melody section.
Again, your example does work, just mine that doesn't.
Thanks again,
Zenaan

The "narrow constraint" for my scores is a show-stopper: not able to
use two voices on one staff.
I have reduced the example of this to a lean 1.5KiB, attached, which
works fine (one voice only);
and uncommenting line 50 (to include melody and bass voices on the one
staff) produces the error:
"

Is it sensible to report this as a bug (and useful to the developers)?

Re: "Parallel music view" - inspiration for LilyPond editors.
Any estimates of the number of "active" users of lilypond? We could arrange feature fundings, with many users, say $20 each makes it eminently feasible - kickstarter for lilypond.. but kickstarter results in I think in 10% or so lost to the middle men, but it could suffice. I'd be happy to pay straight into developers account, if there is a consensus amongst say 100 people to fund a feature.

I think you misunderstand. I don't have detailed knowledge, but FWIW, the point of SFC is to fund libre projects. Your development of lilypond is exactly what SFC funds. Your work is purely non-profit, since your expenses are no more than your living expenses. Your activity is purely non-profit, and on libre software. Consider a non-profit organisation - it funds non-profit activities. For example it might fund a teacher to travel to a poor/disadvantaged community, and that teacher's normal living expenses are either covered specifically (per receipts), or almost exclusively, covered by a salary/wage as paid to the teacher. The teacher has full discretion to use their wage at their discretion, and presumably they pay their usual bills, telecoms, food, rent, etc. How could it be any other way? The only caveat is that the teacher is normally paid a salary that is somewhat commensurate to local salaries, which in certain regions of the world is very low by western standards. But that's so as not to appear unbalanced, not to be unbalanced wrt the local humans. And also, local rents, food, utilities etc are also commensurately lower (typically) than our "normal western standards". So dear David, our brother in spirit, please do cast aside your misunderstanding and embrace wholly and with pride, the work that you do, your conduct, your selfless contributions, and, as from the LWN article above, the lower "salary" that you receive. Respect! Kudos to you! Others have had harder times of their transition into a dominantly community-focused living of their lives, such as Tom Lord of GNU Arch fame (and old DVCS for those who don't know), and Paul Davis' early days getting the Ardour (ardour.org) DAW off the ground - check out ardour.org for a little inspiration if you need it. We (humans) are in a transition from focusing our lives around self-centered activities towards self-less "community" activities. David you are not an opportunistic investor. Far from it. You are a worker. There is a vast difference. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_(economics) :) Those wily accountants - got us all firetrucked up in our thinking!!

Bzzt. Go check out SFC again, and send Bradley Kuhn an email. Once you have clarity, PLEASE write up an essay, making it as concise as possible, around your MIS-understanding, and how things REALLY are. Then please email this to r...@gnu.org, bradley kuhn, and wherever you fancy. "Steal" any/all of the above, etc, etc. Oh yes, that's right, also contact l...@lwn.net (Johnathan Corbet) with your second or third draft, and ask if they would like it as a feature article, and perhaps could they send a few dollars your way as a "guest editor". I am confident that this shift of understanding is something that many are going through, and these efforts at clarity will be very useful to others. > Hey, it is not even an easy sell on the LilyPond users we can reach Those who are with an interest, passion, enjoyment, appreciation, care and consideration ... of lilypond ... do not need a "sell".

Hi, I'm a lilypond newbie, and having difficulty understanding what you're asking. Please reduce your example by getting rid of almost everything, even header/title not necessary etc, so that you provide an example just a bar or two long, so that your problem is easy to see.

Re: resources for working with Nicolas Sceaux's source?
Some form of templating outside Lilypond could potentially be useful, eg stringtemplate.org which is my personal favourite; never used it with Lilypond though. Lilypond variables of course. Bigger than ben hur from the get go might be daunting/ frustrating learning experience. Write up your first score bit by bit, add Lilypond score features as you go.
