Section 5.4.6 of the Notation RM states:
/The|to-barline|property/
The second useful property of the|spanner-interface|is|to-barline|. By
default this is true, causing hairpins and other spanners which are
terminated on the first note of a measure to end instead on the
immediately preceding bar line. If set to false, the spanner will extend
beyond the bar line and end on the note itself
I have a couple of questions about this section. The first is, why
would the default setting for to-barface be true? If I wanted my
spanner to end on the immediately preceding bar line, I could easily set
"\!" after the last note of the preceding bar.
The second question has to do with the following two examples:
\version "2.19.81"
{ \time 1/4
a8\> b
\override Hairpin.to-barline = ##f
c'4\! }
{ \time 1/4
a8\> b
\override Hairpin.to-barline = ##t
c'4\! }
Both examples give identical output, i.e., the hairpin ends before the
first barline, not extending to the first note of the second bar no
matter what the setting of Hairpin.to-barline is.
How can I extend the hairpin to the end of the note in the 2nd bar?
Please answer both questions. Why would the default be so
counter-intuitive?
