I just noticed that the 'extra-offset won't influence the spacing of
the notes before the bar line. The better property to tweak should be
the right-edge extra space, but this does not work if the line ends
prematurely. (See the attached example.)
Still, like Trevor I'm not sure why modifying the X-extent does not
work - this should be the favourite option, theoretically equivalent
to another glyph without positive width, right?
Yes, I think this would be the best approach, but I don't know why this
doesn't work, either.
Another idea: Is it possible to have a double bar line at the end of
a line, and the segno bar line at the beginning of the next? What
about ".S" doing this, as opposed to "S", or have an additional
"||S" and "S||"?
I must admit that I don't have lots of references for this symbol and
its use. If this is a sensible
default, there is no problem in defining ".S" just doing what you
proposed. Can you do some investigations?
As you posted the examples in the tracker, I think you are the most
important source of informations here ;-)
I don't really know if I saw the "||-before-break, S-after-break"
combination, but I think it makes sense to offer it since coda parts
are often seperated by double bar lines when the "default" segno sign
is above them.
I'll see what I can find in real examples. I don't think I have
anything more at my place, though, so I'll have to look through the
repertoire of my choir. (Again, I can't remember to have it seen in
any non-Bosworth & Co. scores...) I'll give you feedback ASAP.
Did you find anything? If not, tell me what you want to have as
standard, and I will adapt my code.
I doesn't seem that there is an overwhelming interest in the varsegno -
which doesn't bother me,
because *I* like the sign and will use it regularly as soon as it is
released. So we both, being called the
"varsegno group" should be able to decide what we want ;-)
