Hi Paul (et al.), > I took Kieren up on his offer to sponsor a better whiteout stencil function. > It’s attached so that anyone can make use of it.
Thanks for doing this! Looking forward to seeing it in action “in the wild”. If anyone is willing to co-sponsor this function with me, please contact me off-list and we can discuss the details. > a more elegant approach would be to trace the outline of the stencil, but > that’s beyond my skills Maybe someone out there can take up the challenge? =) > the results of this function are much better than the current 'white square' > option. Agreed! I’ve already used it several times in the scores I’m currently working on, and the results are great. Unexpectedly (and counterintuitively), there *are* certain circumstances — a specific list of which I’m still in the process of discovering and compiling — in which the regular [‘white square’] option is still superior to my eye. But it’s a huge benefit to have this new function, which is preferable (to my eye) in the vast majority of cases. Thanks again, Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
