Hi,
I'm working on a piece with a lot accelerando and ritardando spanners.
I've built my own accelerando and ritardando spanners using text spanners.
Here's a more-or-less stripped down example that works pretty well:
%%% BEGIN %%%
\version "2.19.11"
\language "english"
\new Staff {
\once \override TextSpanner.arrow-width = 0.25
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = \markup {
\smaller
\general-align
#Y
#DOWN
\note-by-number
#2
#0
#1
\upright
" = 67.5"
}
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.arrow = ##t
\once \override TextSpanner.bound-details.right.padding = 2
c'2 \startTextSpan
d'2
e'2
f'2
g'2
a'2 \stopTextSpan ^ \markup {
\smaller
\general-align
#Y
#DOWN
\note-by-number
#2
#0
#1
\upright
" = 135"
}
}
%%% END %%%
I'm actually pretty happy with the results shown above. (There's an
additional collection of overrides to the TextSpanner bound details that
make things look truly professional. I've omitted those here to keep the
example reasonable. If anyone wants the complete settings, just let me
know.)
QUESTION: the one remaining thing I'm looking for is some way to align the
start of the spanner to the *left edge of the page*. Is there any way to do
this?
By way of comparison, the break-alignable-interface gives exactly what I'm
looking for when I'm working with MetronomeMark objects ...
\override MetronomeMark.break-align-symbols = #'(left-edge)
... but it looks like TextScript and TextSpanner don't implement the
interface (which is understandable).
So is there some sort of something available to, say, anchor markup (as
opposed to marks) to the left edge of the page (instead of to a note head)?
Sounds like some type of manipulation to the parent of markup. But in many
years of using Lily I've never had cause to make that particular type of
adjustment.
Advice appreciated,
Trevor.
