D.C. al fine, and "volta spanner" errors

2016-03-18 Thread Graham King
Following on from an earlier thread[1], I have a snippet, below, that uses a repeat to create a "D.C. al fine" structure. The snippet throws two warnings: "cannot end volta spanner" that appear to be caused by the "\set Score.repeatCommands" line. Whilst I could just bludgeon these unwelcome mess

I've adopted Simon Albrecht's excellent suggestion in an earlier thread [1], and am now using code based on snippet 739 [2] to typeset some long dynamic markings. This has solved a host of layout problems; however, it has introduced this nasty spacing issue: r2 r8 bes8(\mfdolce a bes) |

Ah yes, a minimal compilable example. This is going to be tough, especially as I've just noticed that some _functionally_indistinguishable_code_ a few bars earlier yields this: which is precisely the behaviour I'm after. Nevertheless, I'll try to produce a minimal compilable example. It might

Here is a compilable example. It is a bit long, but I think it is pretty close to minimal. In its defence: the first 32 lines are, effectively, snippet 739 modified to produce "dynamic text" instead of "text dynamic" (in this case, "mp dolce" instead of, say, "meno f"). The remaining few lines a

In a vocal score (SATB on separate staves + keyboard), it is useful to suppress empty staves when all the singers are silent, using: \score { \layout { \context { \RemoveEmptyStaffContext }}} Is there a way to suppress this behaviour selectively, when one singer happens to have a few bars rest? I
