Re: markup-command boxing the real printed ink?

Hm, I might have misunderstood Harm, I thought he was looking for a way to actually determine the printed area of an arbitrary stencil. Still, I expect that this functionality cannot be easily used here due to design and order of it. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message

Re: markup-command boxing the real printed ink?

Hm, you’re right. But if you replace this by something directly drawn with PostScript commands, you’ll see that Lilypond does not have any idea about what’s there. So I guess Lilypond is able to handle stencil it knows very well. And yes, Skylines are a concept of Lilypond, but Lilypond does no

Hello David, That is a very different thing. with-outline simply tells the outputter to use a different stencil for calculating the skylines of a stencil. The problem here is that Lilypond relies on the stencil basically telling it’s extent. The problem Harm has is that this extent might be sma

Re: markup-command boxing the real printed ink?

Hello Harm, This is probably quite hard to do. Basically the problem here is that Lilypond does not in fact know the actual extent of the stencil. So to get that you’d somehow need to draw the stencil. So eighter you’d need to implement a custom drawing routine for "drawing" stencils within Lil
