I've been struggling with spacing issues. In my example below, the second
measure shows the default behavior, where the two markups are placed on top of
each other. (If I was playing this, I would find it very confusing.) I would
like to stretch the long note in the beginning of second measure, so that the
two markups can fit next to each other.
I thought "textLenghtOn" would solve my problems but it seemingly just moves
them somewhere else, here the other part (see first measure of the example). I
also tried experimenting with "SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration" but it
doesn't solve the problem and makes the spacing look pretty ridiculous after
some point.
Any suggestions?
\version "2.18.2"
rit = \markup {\italic "rit." }
atempo = \markup {\italic "a tempo" }
tempos = {
\textLengthOn
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
\textLengthOff
s2^\atempo
s2^\rit
}
notes = \relative c'{
c2. d8 b
c2. g8 b
}
othernotes = \relative c'{
e8 f g a g2 c2 b
}
\score {
<<
\new Staff <<\tempos \notes >>
\new Staff {\othernotes}
>>
}
Thanks in advance!
