[NTG-context] Widows: penalty without efffect (ConTeXt iv)
Dear List, I ran into trouble with the widow/orphan-control in context. I searched the mailinglist, and saw that there were some other threads on the topic bevore, but as far as I am concerned what was suggested there did not work for me when I tried it. I run context iv using the version which comes with TexLive 2011. First trail was to include \widowpenalty=9000 and \clubpenalty=9000 at the start of the document, before \starttext (cause I do my setups, and definitions there) As this did not work I tried to put them after \starttext. As well I lowered \brokenpenalty. But both approaches, which were suggested in previous Posts on the ntg-context list failed to show an effect in my case. Is there anything I could do to prevent the widow lines? PS.: As I may be doing any noobish errors, here an overview of the documents structure and the placement of the penalty-commands _ \widowpenalty=9000 \clubpenalty=9000 \definepapersize[janssize][width=190mm, height=245mm] \setuppapersize[janssize][A4] %we can use something like [A5][A4], which is a a5 Page sized Document printed on a A4 sheet \setuplayout[grid=yes, marking=on, location=middle, backspace=30mm, width=110mm]%former: location=doublesided \starttext \startstandardmakeup \stopstandardmakeup \startfrontmatter %TOC... \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter %the main stuff goes here % Loads of text \stopbodymatter \startappendices %appendices go here \stopappendices \stoptext ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
[NTG-context] Figured bass symbols in a text.
Dear all,
Is there a neat way to insert a stack of three figures in a line of text with
the middle one sitting on the base line?
I need it in a discussion of figured bass. (Figured bass is a system to
indicate harmonies to be played above a bass-line. The figures can be single or
stacked, two or three above each other. In discussing this topic in articles
and books these figures are usually written as they appear in the music
scores, in other words, stacked.)
For a stack of two figures it can be done perfectly with \lohi{}{}.
Is there a way to do it for a stack of three figures with the middle one
sitting on the base line? (Something like \lomihi{}{}{}?)
Here is an example in which the problem is stated once more.
---
\starttext
This does not look professional.
A typical problematic example of this printing practice is Monteverdi's {\em
L'Orfeo}, where, in the third act, in Speranze's recitative {\em Ecco l'atra
palude}, several single fourths are printed, leaving for the continuo player
the choice to play 5/4, 6/4, or 7/4/2.
\medskip
This does, for \lohi{4}{5} and \lohi{4}{6}. But how could this be done also
for 7/4/2? (Interline distance may be enlarged as necessary.)

Re: [NTG-context] Figured bass symbols in a text.
Hi,
Since no one has offered a quick ConTeXt solution, I offer my usual -- a dumb
Plain TeX solution:
\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{#3}$}
With the Computer Modern font, the top is a little further away from the middle
than the bottom. It can be adjusted with something like
\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{\lower0.23pt\hbox{$\scriptstyle{#3}$}}$}
but this would probably have to be adjusted for each font and size.
Hope that helps,

Just downloaded and tested, looks nice.
Small bug: It's called lomihi, but the arguments are placed middle/high/low.
For documentation/clarification, is the following correct?
distance = extra kerning, distance between lomihi and preceding character.
up = how much the {hi} arg is raised
down = how much the {low} arg is lowered
Support for the [left] keyword seems to have been dropped, but is
still in the documentation comments.
Perhaps instead support align=..., and turn distance= into kernbefore=
and kernafter=? Sorry about not knowing enough to implement it myself.

So, we have low/high definable and clonable etc. Best check if the defaults
are compatible. Valid parameters are 'up', 'down' and 'distance'
(dimensions) and of course 'style' and 'color'.
Just downloaded and tested, looks nice.
Small bug: It's called lomihi, but the arguments are placed middle/high/low.
ok, i'll fix that ... (or maybe midlowhigh is nicer ?)
For documentation/clarification, is the following correct?
distance = extra kerning, distance between lomihi and preceding character.
only with low, high an lohi
up = how much the {hi} arg is raised
down = how much the {low} arg is lowered
indeed
Support for the [left] keyword seems to have been dropped, but is
still in the documentation comments.
still there, only for lohi .. maybe we should add an align key some day
Perhaps instead support align=..., and turn distance= into kernbefore=
and kernafter=? Sorry about not knowing enough to implement it myself.
hm, distance is often used for this so that's better
I'll do 'align' when there is demand for it.
Thanks for keeping the wiki so up to date.

But actually that 70 MB seems an overestimate and I must have been looking at something else. yes, that's best because as soon as that command is called, the set value of 'level' is used, no matter what other values has been set Here is the result of some experimentation: 23,396,929 Bytes using just \setupbackend[level=9]. 21,945,243 Bytes using the aforementioned, \pdfcompresslevel9, and \maximumpdfcompression. 23,396,827 Bytes using none of those three. So I guess I'm still not sure which one to use since the one you said should be sufficient doesn't seem to compress it fully. never use \pdf* commands directly .. way too low level and use the oher command only for fast tests (i use it in small test files) Understood. -- Kip Warner -- Software Engineer OpenPGP encrypted/signed mail preferred http://www.thevertigo.com signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
