Subject: Re: Override start of figured bass continuation line
Here's an example:
\version "2.22.1"
\score {
\new Staff {
{
<<
{f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 |
f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 }
\new FiguredBass {
\figuremode {
\bassFigureExtendersOn
<[_!]>8 <_!> <_>8 q8 s2 |
<[_!]>8 <_!> s16 <_> q8
}
}
>>
}
}
}
I would like the note-spacing of the first bar combined with the continuation
line of the second (or maybe something in between). I do not want the note
spacing of the second measure.
Here’s an approach that’s different from Lukas’s. It makes the invisible
figure wider.
\version "2.22.1"
\score {
\new Staff {
{
<<
{f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 |
f''8 e'' d'' c'' b'2 }
\new FiguredBass {
\figuremode {
\bassFigureExtendersOn
<[_!]>8 <_!>
% we tell the spacing engine that the invisible bass figure has some
extent, so the
% continuation line is moved to the right. Numbers are in staff
spaces
\once\override FiguredBass.BassFigure.X-extent = #'(0 . 1) <_>8 q8
s2 |
<[_!]>8 <_!> s16 <_> q8
}
}
>>
}
}
}
