Battle of the beginning of a measure: Rehearsal marks vs. Manual volta brackets

2007/8/21, Joe Neeman [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Off the top of my head, I would suggest writing a scheme function where something like \timeSig #'(3 . 4) will emit \time 3/4 \mark 3/4 so that you are dealing with RehearsalMarks, which can then be aligned however you want. Yes; I was

Hi all, I'll give it another try - I searched a lot on how to left align several instrument names(different staves), but didn't find even a workaround on the list. It seems that Thies' workaround which he posted in Oct 2006 doesn't work anymore. Regards, Michael His post: Here's what I do

Hi Romel, How do I make the volta stretch to the beginning of the measure? You can stop the rehearsal mark influencing the volta's spacing by overriding its X-extent property: \once \override Score.RehearsalMark #'X-extent = #'(0 . 0) Assuming your snippet shows where you want the coda mark

Hi everyone, I can't help but to comment on this. For one thing, how would such an analysis as Han-Wen proposes proceed -- statistically? From all of my observation of European hand engraving, clefs only take up extra horizontal spacing when it is necessary for the sake of fitting the clef.
