Hi all,
As far as I understand, most numbers in lilypond tweaks are measured in
staff-spaces. For example,
\override TextScript #'padding = #2.5
will place TextScript objects 2.5 staff-spaces away from the note they
are attached to.
If that's correct, then what's happening here? (example from Appendix
B, scheme tutorial)
-----
This syntax will be used very frequently, since many of the layout
tweaks involve assigning (Scheme) values to internal variables, for
example
\override Stem #'thickness = #2.6
This instruction adjusts the appearance of stems. The value 2.6 is put
into the thickness variable of a Stem object. This makes stems almost
twice as thick as their normal size.
-----
The thickness of the stem is obviously not 2.6 staff-spaces, so what
*is* it measured in? And how do users know whether a number is being
measured in staff-spaces or other stuff?
Cheers,
- Graham
