Hi Elaine, The two options "triangle" and "bracket" are pretty much hardcoded. But you can set the height (thus squeezing both forms into a vertical line when you set height to 0) and thickness (to make this line as thick as you like): \override Staff.MeasureGrouping.height = 0 That way, you'll get a vertical line (unfortunately the bracket will be indistinguishable then from the triangle). But you might define a custom stencil quite easily that sets the height to 0 if style is #'triangle and then calls the original print stencil. In the following example, I've used the original snipped coding as a basis, because in your example, there were no brackets at all. %%%%%%% \version "2.19.81" #(define (custom-grouping-stencil grob) (let ((style (ly:grob-property grob 'style))) (if (eq? style 'triangle) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'height 0)) ly:measure-grouping::print)) \score { \new Voice \relative c'' { \time 9/8 g8 g d d g g a( bes g) | \set Timing.beatStructure = 2,2,2,3 g8 g d d g g a( bes g) | \time 4,5 9/8 g8 g d d g g a( bes g) | \time 5/8 a4. g4 | } \layout { \context { \Staff \consists "Measure_grouping_engraver" \override MeasureGrouping.stencil = #custom-grouping-stencil } } } %%%%%%% <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t3887/measure-grouping-lines.png> HTH, Torsten -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
