bracketify-stencil should do what you need. Here's a wrapper for it:
\version "2.20.0"
bracketify =
#(define-music-function
(grob-path axis thick protrusion padding)
(key-list? number? number? number? number?)
#{ \override $grob-path . stencil =
#(grob-transformer 'stencil
(lambda (grob orig)
(bracketify-stencil orig
axis thick protrusion padding))) #})
{
\bracketify Score.RehearsalMark #Y 0.1 0.3 0.5
\mark \default b'4 4 2 4 2. 1
\temporary \bracketify NoteHead #X 0.2 0.5 0.3
\mark \default b'4 4 2 4 2. 1
\revert NoteHead.stencil
\mark \default b'4 4 2 4 2. 1
}

This all started with me trying to imitate a particular chant style:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-03/msg00290.html
Aaron kindly provided the Slur_spacing_engraver to accomplish this:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2020-03/msg00320.html
This is working fine for my hymns, but when I tried using it with the
antiphons, which have an asterisk in them to indicate when the choir joins the
cantor, the spacing around said asterisk is too tight in some cases. In the
attached files the "Blessed be God" antiphon is fine but in the "Let the mind”
the asterisk collides with the words just before it.
I’ve tried changing the various parameters in the Slur_spacing_engraver to
solve this, but changing those parameters have undesirable side-effects (mostly
the desired spacing changes on the slurred notes gets wrecked). So now I’m
thinking that perhaps just a crude addition of space might be the easiest way
to do this.

This does work, but if you could figure out a programmatic way to solve this, I
would greatly appreciate that.

New OOoLilyPond features: asking for feedback
Dear LilyPond community, there are some new features for OOoLilyPond, the extension for LibreOffice and OpenOffice. In short: - can now also be used in Calc spreadsheets - batch processing now also possible in Calc, Impress and Draw - "keep size & crop settings" now is a per-object setting. Also, some changes to the config dialog were necessary for that. I'd like to hear your feedback: Are those features usable, intuitive, ... Thanks for any comment! Here is a pre-release: https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/releases/tag/1.0.1-4 direct download: https://github.com/OOoLilyPond/OOoLilyPond/releases/download/1.0.1-4/OOoLilyPond-1.0.1-4.oxt Cheers, Klaus

I honestly can’t understand what you’re trying to achieve… =\
Having done a lot of work with Schenker graphs — which have a lot of the same
issues and "look & feel" as chants — perhaps if you can explain it a little
better, I can help figure out a better way to accomplish what you’re attempting.
> Are there other ways of inserting space into the lyrics (that will move the

There’s the obvious manual way:
words = \lyricmode {
Some \set stanza = "*"
\tweak self-alignment-X #-0.25 \markup \concat { words \hspace #2 } \set
stanza = "*"
t \set stanza = "*"
go longword \set stanza = "*" un -- der notes
}
But I still feel like if I knew better what you were trying to do, I could
figure out a programmatic way to handle it.

square brackets around rehearsal marks 2.21.81
Is there a way to put square brackets around a rehearsal mark (bar number if relevant)? TIA, Paul
Re: Controlling bar to note spacing on final measure
Dear Kieren,
Thank you for the suggestions. Now I have another knob to study and play
with!
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/layout-properties
My solution:
AmenBars = {
\skip 1*2/4
\once\revert Score.BarLine.stencil
\once\override Staff.BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(-1 . 0)
\bar "||"
}
Many thanks,

Combining custom bar line with standard elements
I have a couple of customized bar lines defined and have come across an
instance where I want to combine them with a standard bar line element.
However, my naive attempts aren’t working as expected. My first attempt
resulted in the bar line simple disappearing; in the second the customization
disappeared. How can I make the combination while still preserving my
customization?

(let ((glyph-name (ly:grob-property grob 'glyph-name)))
(if (member glyph-name '("[" "]"))
(begin
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'thick-thickness 2)
(ly:grob-set-property! grob 'font-size -4)
)
)
)
)
}
}
\defineBarLine "[" #'("" "[" "")

Well, as always, there are lots of different ways to clothe this particular cat… 1. spacers (as you’ve done) 2. increase the BarLine.extra-spacing-width [backwards] 3. increase the NoteHead.extra-spacing-width [forwards] 4. apply Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.padding etc. Each has pros and cons.

Controlling bar to note spacing on final measure
Hello everyone, Would there be a programmatic way to control the spacing of the final bar to the final note? At the moment, I just use s4 or s4. just to add a tiny bit of space so it doesn't feel as cramped. I do have the following override enabled to compact the spacing of the notes for chant, which really does make a difference in that final bar \override SpacingSpanner.common-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/4) I am using \time 1/4. I dug around the engraver documentation and found this, but it deals with breaks. http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/source/Documentation/internals/barline Many thanks, mattfong
Re: Control of score visibility based on variables
Hello Lukas, Many thanks for the clarification. My apologies for the belated reply since my week got quite busy. I understand your explanation: You can also use the question mark in the variable name, which confused me for a moment. I think I was mixing information I read previously about predicates in LilyPond, and thought myself restricted to the list here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.20/Documentation/notation/predefined-type-predicates I could also modify your to use a boolean explicitly: scoreIf = #(define-void-function (some-condition score) (boolean? ly:score?) (if some-condition (add-score score))) But I'm really no Scheme expert. Still hacking my way through.

Amending the shared code, you could probably do
getMidiArpeggios =
#(define-music-function (val mus) (number? ly:music?)
(map-some-music
(lambda (m)
(and (music-is-of-type? m 'event-chord)
(any
(lambda (elt)
(eq? (ly:music-property elt 'name) 'ArpeggioEvent))
(ly:music-property m 'elements))
(midiArpeggio val m)))
mus))
\getMidiArpeggios 24
\new Staff \relative c' {
4\arpeggio
r2.
|
2
\arpeggio
}

Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately, if I wanted to convert an existing ".ly" file either from one that uses \arpeggio to one that uses \midiArpeggio or vice versa, I still couldn't do it with a tool like some sort of "Find and replace". Unlike \arpeggio which is given after the notes of the chord, \midiArpeggio needs to be used before them. So I'm afraid I would still have to rewrite it manually for each single chord. And if I wanted to avoid doing it all manually, I would have to know how to write code that would do it for me (which I have no idea which programming language would be the most appropriate for doing something of that sort).
