Hi Xavier, 'bound-padding and 'minimum-length are not the same, but seem to work similiar here. Good to know both. Actually there is no need to use 'before-line-breaking here. Setting the 'minimum-length diectly works (see code below). I'm used to start such coding by using the 'before-line-breaking or 'after-line-breaking-properties, because these properties offer a wider range of possibilities. And I don't think it's very cryptic. The example from the Extending-manual has nearly the same structure. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/extending/callback-functions Well, ok, I know there are several "scheme-haters" ... Here a modified, commented code: \version "2.16.2" mmrLngth = \override MultiMeasureRest #'minimum-length = #(lambda (grob) ;; 'minimum-length is set to a scheme-procedure, starting here. ;; Defining some local variables. (let* (;; Read-out the 'measure-count-property. ;; Call it "measure-count" (measure-count (ly:grob-property grob 'measure-count)) ;; Choose different numbers depending on measure-count. ;; Call it "lngth" (lngth (if (> measure-count 1) 30 ;; bound-padding for compressed MMR 15))) ;; bound-padding for single MMR ;; Set the 'minimum-length-property to "lngth" ;; via the predefined `ly:grob-set-property!` (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'minimum-length lngth))) \relative c' { \mmrLngth \compressFullBarRests R1*20 R1 } Regards, Harm _______________________________________________ bug-lilypond mailing list bug-lilypond@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-lilypond
