Hello all, In the attached snippet, you can see how the notes are evenly spaced when there is enough overall width (page 1), but become unevenly spaced when the width is at all cramped (page 2).
An automagic fix for this issue is part of the GSoc Lyric overhaul, and hence is a long way off from being implemented [if ever!]. In the meantime, I would love a tweak that would allow me to tell Lily to ignore the LyricText grobs when spacing that measure; I would then go and nudge the individual grobs left or right as necessary to make the measure look great. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find the correct incantation. (Note: I’ve tried setting LyricText.X-extent and #'extra-spacing-width, but with unexpected and not uniform results.) Thanks, Kieren. p.s. Bonus points if this tweak can be applied “externally” (i.e., via the edition-engraver). ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: [email protected] %%%% SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.19.30" \language "english" #(set-global-staff-size 15.5) \paper { ragged-right = ##f indent = 0 } global = { \key g \major \time 3/2 s1. } theNotes = { <d' d''>8 <fs' fs''> <e' e''> <e' e''>] <d' d''> q <b b'> <fs' fs''> <e' e''> q <d' d''> q | % } theLyrics = \lyricmode { ez, Ron -- sard me cé -- lé -- brait, du temps que j'ét -- ais } theScore = << \new Staff \new Voice << \global \theNotes >> \addlyrics \theLyrics >> \bookpart { \paper { line-width = 6\in } \score { \theScore } } \bookpart { \paper { line-width = 3\in } \score { \theScore } } %%%% SNIPPET ENDS _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
