Re: Does 'strut' command work in LilyPond?
OK, so the question is: Is there a way to create box that has height of total font height? By total font height I mean the distance between bottom bearing line and top bearing line (see http://www.myfirstfont.com/images/glyphterms.gif). The idea is of course to have constant height of box, independently of what text is entered. -Karol ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

According to:
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/other
\strut Create a box of the same height as the space in the current font.
So
\markup { \strut \box . }
\markup { \strut \box bp }
should draw a box with constant height. But it doesn't. Maybe I'm doing
something wrong?

Hi,
according to it's description \strut works as expected, imho:
\strut creates a (invisible) box of the same _height_ (Y-direction!)
as the _space_ (X-direction!) in the current font.
Look at the output of:
\markup
\box \vcenter {
%% current default \strut:
\strut
%% sort of rebuilding it:
\rotate #90
%% another markup to compare:
\concat { \strut . }
}
I think the request is another:

As sort of workaround you may use the coding below.
Please note, it's a _workaround_ ! Thinking of other non-european
languages it might easily be broken.
\version 2.18.0
#(define-markup-command (vstrut layout props)
()
#:category other
@cindex creating vertical space in text
Create a box of the same height as the current font.
(let ((ref-mrkp (interpret-markup layout props fp)))
(ly:make-stencil (ly:stencil-expr empty-stencil)
empty-interval
(ly:stencil-extent ref-mrkp Y
%%%
%% EXAMPLE
%%%
ln-mrkp = \markup \draw-line #'(2 . 0)
\markup
\override #'(baseline-skip . 1) {
\column \box {
\ln-mrkp
\ln-mrkp
\ln-mrkp
}
\column \box {
x
x
x
}
opposed to:
\column \box {
\line { \vstrut \ln-mrkp }
\line { \vstrut \ln-mrkp }
\line { \vstrut \ln-mrkp }
}
\column \box {
\line { \vstrut x }
\line { \vstrut x }
\line { \vstrut x }
}
}

Re: Does 'strut' command work in LilyPond?
Very nice workaround! For Cental Europe languages it's better to replace fp
with, let's say, Śp.

Hi all, Very nice workaround! +1 For Cental Europe languages it's better to replace fp with, let's say, Śp”. When, oh when, will we get real text handling (e.g., leading) in Lilypond?

Re: Does 'strut' command work in LilyPond?
In what order should \strut come? Does it require curly braces?

Huh? You are not placing the \strut inside of the box, so why should
the box' height be affected?

of how to use 'strut' properly?

Re: Does 'strut' command work in LilyPond?
Would it be:
\markup { \box { \strut “.” } }
or
\markup { \strut { \box “.” } }
?
I’m just taking a shot in the dark. I’ve not seen \strut before.

Hi David,

It appears that putting \strut inside the box doesn’t actually change the box’s
height:
\version 2.19
\include english.ly
\markup \box { \strut . }
\markup \box { \strut bp }

Re: Does 'strut' command work in LilyPond?
Does \strut simply produce a font-sized box, meant to have nothing in it?

\box only gets a single markup. If you give it a list, it will make a
box for each element. So you have to use \line. It turns out that
\strut has a non-empty horizontal extent, a somewhat annoying property
which we should try to replace. So we need to use \concat instead of
\line.
\version 2.19
\include english.ly
\markup \box \concat { \strut . }
\markup \box \concat { \strut bp }
\markup \box .

Hi David,
So we need to use \concat instead of \line.
\version 2.19
\include english.ly
\markup \box \concat { \strut . }
\markup \box \concat { \strut bp }
\markup \box “.
That also doesn’t work as expected — the first box should be taller, right?

Kieren.

Well, the height does not really impress me, but it _is_ taller than the
strutless box. All considered, it is probably a reasonable statement
that the current behavior of \strut leaves several things to be desired.
