Bug in the way slurs avoid stems?

2013-12-25 Thread Jakub Pavlík
Hi, while typesetting notes without stems I encountered (actually Janek W. spotted and drew my attention to) a weird behavior of slurs avoiding stems that are (hopefully) correctly removed. Attached is a set of minimal examples with stems removed in various ways. Only the one where I manually cha

Merry Christmas, if anyone is out there today. I'm trying to squeeze a piece onto a single page, and I'm fussing with stem direction to control the height of the lines. I got the song to fit on a page, except there are few note/beam clashes (see example below). Is there a way to manually raise the

If you want to squeeze a piece, changing stem length/direction is not the best idea IMO. You have better options: 1) use page-count = #1 in paper block, or 2) use system-system-spacing #'minimum-distance = #9 in paper block (try to play with numbers), or 3) \override Score.SpacingSpanner #'

You can explicitly set the position of the left and right ends of a beam with \override Beam #'positions. Perfect. It's a bit fussy getting the numbers right but I like the control. BTW, I had the "slope" macro in the suite of guitar macros I got from you a few years ago and which I use

Default spacing increment. Is 1.2 OK?

2013-12-25 Thread Karol Majewski
documentation states: "Normally, spacing-increment is set to 1.2 staff space, which is approximately the width of a note head," Of course, different note heads have different widths, but even assuming that we are talking about black notehead (notehead.s2 in Feta), this value should be 1.3. Inc

I'm surprised you can't do it with a spanner. Why don't we have something like: \override TextSpanner #'(center-text text) = \markup { \small Play three times } On Tue, Dec 24, 2013 at 4:12 PM, David Nalesnik wrote: > > Hi Janek, > > On Tue, Dec 24, 2013 at 2:45 PM, Janek Warchoł > wrote: > >>

Thanks to everyone who replied. I've once again been bitten bitten by the "assume" bug -- after 50 years of working with computers you'd think I would learn my lesson. Problem solved with the follwing simplified code: \relative c' { \override Score.TimeSignature #'stencil = ##f \key f \major
