Comment #3 on issue 2574 by [email protected]: Footnote on first time
signature gets mark but no footnote text
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2574
Did some snooping.
1) In System::get_footnote_grobs_in_range, there is a variable
end_of_line_visible that is currently vestigial so far as I can tell. We
should look at footnote regtests to make sure that things are functioning
correctly - this looks like the sorta thing that functioned in the past but
that I forgot to remove from the code. However, before deleting it for
good, it'd be good to know if all regtests are functioning correctly.
2) For a time signature at the beginning of the line, there are currently
two FootnoteItem grobs created. I have no clue why, as only one
FootnoteItem is created at timestamp 0 in the engraver. The place to look
may be Item::copy_breakable_items to see if this is called twice and, if
so, why and by whom.
