Hello, everyone. I'm a relatively inexperienced lilypond user trying to use
it for a big project (score and parts for Leo Ornstein's Piano Concerto)
and I've been running into some issues. I'd like to start with what I hope
is an easy one.
There's a point early on where I have three \tempo markings in fairly close
proximity. For the instruments that aren't playing, it looks like this:
{ \tempo "più agitato" R1 \tempo "Appasionata, ma molto sostenuto" R1*2
\time 2/4 R2 \time 3/4 \tempo "Allegro" R2. }
Lilypond prints this so tightly packed that the "Appasionata" actually sits
over the "piu agitato", and it in turn is such a long string that it
overlaps the "Allego". So I'd like to make those rest bars
artificially longer, to match the length of the tempo strings plus some
margin.
The trouble is, I'm not sure what to override. I tried
Rest.extra-spacing-width (by analogy with NoteHead.extra-spacing-width,
which I used elsewhere) and it didn't seem to do anything, so it's not the
right object. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
One last wrinkle; it has to work with \compressMMRests.
Thanks!
