Comment #1 on issue 2400 by [email protected]: Dots no longer aligned
between voices
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2400
The original complaint was the misalignment marked by -- in the attached
music. There was also a complaint that dots can be mistaken for staccato
notes as in the situations marked by -. and this case is set in Stone's
textbook with dots aligned. On the other hand, in the second of these
examples with only the upper voice dotted, I think we would rather keep the
dot close to the note than move the dot and upper note far to the right.
Looking more at dot situations, I noticed the tight configuration marked by
the teardrop staccatissimo sign.
These upper-voice dots could be perfectly aligned by adding nearby
lower-voice note-heads to the list of "support" grobs that determine the
location of the upper voice's dots, and increasing the vertical range of
the "support" if the supporting notehead has its own dot(s).
Other effects of having one Dot_column_engraver handle all voices, are that
dots can move to make room for dots from other voices. The clusters marked
with -2 and -3 get a dot for each notehead if the Dot_column_engraver works
at Staff level.
Ideally, we would make Dot_column_engraver smart enough to do the things
mentioned above, but still let dots align independently in chords such as
the one marked by the trill, which is the example used in Ross' textbook to
show why dots in different voices should be independently aligned.
Until we have the ideal, I intend to put the Dot_column_engraver back in
Staff where it was in version 2.14 <http://codereview.appspot.com/5846043>,
even though I will move it to Voice in my own scores.
