Hi again,
Here’s a perfect example of what I’m talking about…
For KeyCancellation, the output of Harm’s function includes
GROB-INTERFACE
X-extent:
(0.0 . 5.866662)
But if I look on
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/keycancellation,
there is no entry for the X-extent setting. And if I follow the interface link
to grob-interface, all it says is
X-extent (pair of numbers)
Extent (size) in the X direction, measured in staff-space units, relative
to object’s reference point.
with [obviously] no specific setting for KeyCancellation.
Now, if I want to reduce or enlarge KeyCancellation.X-extent, knowing that
default is (0.0 . 5.866662)*** gives me critical information that I can
actually use as a reference point; without that information, the
trial-and-error factor increases dramatically.
Thanks again, Harm. This is *extremely* helpful, and exactly solves this
problem which I’ve asked about on the list several times over the past few
years.
Best regards,
Kieren.
*** I’m not sure if that strange-looking value 5.866662 is the result of some
calculation that is getting evaluated/resolved in order to be visible in the
output… but that’s of secondary concern to me as a user/tweaker.
