But speaking about JPedal,a detail: when I click a notehead, jEdit gets activated all right, but the passive JPedal window stays still on the top. Can this behavior be changed and Stephen, does this happen to you also? Yes, it will be changed. There will be a bugfix release soon, but I'm wai

It's much easier to answer a question like that if you include a short (but complete) example that illustrates the problem. /Mats Quoting Martin Bergande <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: hi, dose anyone know how to avoid the collapse of text spanners when they are shortened a lot? version 2.8.1 thank

As far as I know, the InnerStaffGroup is not meant to be used explicitly, it's just there for some technical (or maybe only for historical) reasons. If you want to typeset nested brackets, please take a look at the NEWS link in the 2.8.x documentation. Unfortunately, this feature is still not i

Please have a look at this: % start .ly \version "2.8.1" \score { \new Staff { \override Staff.Script #'staff-padding = #2.32 \relative c' { \once \override TextSpanner #'staff-padding = #2.65 \once \override TextSpanner #'dash-fraction = #'() \once \override TextSpanner #'arrow = ##t \

One solution is to widen the spacing between the notes slightly, so that the spanner gets sufficiently long even when shortened. Try to insert something like \once \override Score.SeparationItem #'padding = #2 between the two notes. Also, I don't really understand why you don't specify the \open

I tried both before: The edge-text version which as I know is much more elegant is of no advantage to me and the separation-item which I use quite often doesn't give a satisfying result here, since the 8.-16-rhythm is used in a linear context with much longer notes that either become too seperat

Hi, Martin: My first recommendation would be to look at #'minimum-length, which should be inherited from spanner-interface. That being said, I've found *Spanner inheritance to be somewhat spotty... =) Good luck! Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailin

Hi Kieren, thank you for this hint, but what do you mean exactly? I already tried: \override TextSpanner #'minimum-length = #0.0 and \override TextSpanner #'minimum-length = ##f Neither solves the problem. Yours, Martin Original-Nachricht Datum: Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:34:54 -

Unfortunately, it seems that the minimum-length property doesn't affect TextSpanner objects. /Mats Kieren MacMillan wrote: Hi, Martin: My first recommendation would be to look at #'minimum-length, which should be inherited from spanner-interface. That being said, I've found *Spanner inherit

Looking at the implementation, I found the solution to your problem. It turns out that the line is only printed if it's longer than the dash-period property, which probably makes sense if the line is dashed but not otherwise. Anyway, this property is set to 3.0 by default for TextSpanner objects
