Subject: slashSeparator-question
Hi Everyone,
in my scores I usually use the command: system-separator-markup =
\slashSeparator
within the /paper-block. Sometimes at the same time I want very narrow
distances between staves (system-system-spacing). After searching the
manuals I couldn't find an answer to two questions concerning this symbol. I
read there, that I can use any /markup-block for system-separator-markup
but:
1. Sometimes the slashSeparator comes very close to the bar-numbering of the
first staff. Is it possible to pad the slashSeparator in any way. For that I
would - as I understand it - have to know the context in which the symbol is
set.
2. I can not change the size (I would like for it to be larger) of the
symbol. If I am not mistaken I would need a possibility to directly name the
glyph. But I can't find a hint, where the gylph comes form (what font, maybe
a glyph-name). Can anyone point me to that information?
Maybe I searched for the wrong keywords or didn't understand the manual. Any
tip is very welcome!…
=====================================================================
A search of the source code gives:
slashSeparator = \markup {
\center-align
\vcenter \combine
\beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
\raise #0.7 \beam #2.0 #0.5 #0.48
}
So - as the name implies, system-separator-markup simply uses markup as its
argument, so you could put any valid markup there, I believe. However, I
don't think there is any collision avoidance done with the separator and the
staves.
