Difference between bracket-visibility and -stencil

Hi list, can you tell me the difference between \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f and \override TupletBracket #'stencil = ##f ? I know that bracket-visibility is more flexible but if I just want to turn off the brackets both commands are equivalent, isn't it? Best Urs

Hi Marc, thanks for the thoughts. Unfortunately it obviously works differently. if it set #'transparent = ##t then the TupletBrackets uses its space. But with #'bracket-visibility = ##f it doesn't. And no, the TupletNumber doesn't need the TupletBracket at all. But from this

Thanks Mike, and just for the archive (in case anyone stumbles over it): #'bracket-visibility decides whether or not a given TupletBracket is to be printed or not. If it isn't printed then #'bracket-visibility will set #'stencil = ##f. Best Urs Am 23.08.2011 16:38, schrieb Mike Solomon: On

Hi Pierre, What kind of funding would be possible I offer C$100 to the MusicXML project. If [Jan: hint hint!] my C$100 goes to creating a function (e.g., \displayLilystreamXML) which simply converts the raw Lilypond music stream (i.e., what we see with \displayMusic) as an XML blob, I'm

Count me in for US$100 toward the project. Not sure how much programming time I can offer in addition, but I'll certainly be more than willing to test the XML output with Finale 2010 as I have a full copy. FWIW, If this is done well I think it will open LilyPond to more new users than you
