Dear All,, this is my first time posting here, the community is wonderful and LilyPond serves me well.
Recently I have made a lot of work with reworking Lukas Pietsch's Blackmensural in order to produce the whole scores in blackmensural noration. I need your very appreciated help with the custodes. I rewrote how mensural ligatura works – under the hood, it now makes for me one EvenChord instead of SequentialMusic with hidden noteheads. This made possible horizontal adjustments to be finally done in a better way. However, this broke the custodes, which now think that if a system starts with ligature, it hints all its notes instead of the first one. Do you know how to trick the custodis stencil calculation to be set a given pitch? I will extract the first NoteEvent from the ligature – that's not a problem. I don't know how to make this custos appear at the desired position. I attach a snippet with standard notation. \layout { indent = 0 \context {\Staff \consists "Custos_engraver"} %\mensuralTightSetting if blackmensural.ly is included. } \paper { ragged-last = ##f } \relative { c'1 e \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(0 . 1) g \break <d f a>^"Let it's custos hint only to note d..." } Thank you in advance for your help!
