Comment #1 on issue 2694 by [email protected]: Bar engraver bug or
wrong description
http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2694
Automatic clefs are triggered by bar lines. See lily/clef_engraver.cc:
/**
Generate a clef at the start of a measure. (when you see a Bar,
ie. a breakpoint)
*/
void
Clef_engraver::acknowledge_bar_line (Grob_info info)
{
Item *item = info.item ();
if (item && scm_is_string (get_property ("clefGlyph")))
create_clef ();
}
so if there are no bar line grobs generated there will be no
clefs either.
I guess the doc string for lily/bar_engraver.cc could be
tweaked a little to mention this.
