Re: Text-spanner text repeated at start of line

[David Sumbler]

Thanks for the help with this problem.  It has taken me until now to
have a chance to experiment further with it.

I ended up not using the \markupMap idea, because I don't in any case
want the "(minim=138) part of the tempo marking to be bold.

So I have ended up with:
accelVivaceText = {
  \override TextSpanner.line-X-offset = #'(0.5 . 0.5)
  \override TextSpanner.line-Y-offset = 0.5
  \addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
\markup \upright \bold "accelerando molto" -- 
\markup \upright \bold al --
\markup \upright \concat {
  \bold "Vivace (" \general-align #Y #-1 \tiny \note #"2" #UP " = 138)" } } 
}

Some time in the future, a real text-spanner mode would be useful for
this sort of case, so that the problem of wanting the instruction to
appear once in the score and once in each of the parts would be solved,
hopefully, just as it is currently for normal tempo markings.

As it is, the relevant passage in my quartet file looks like this (using
\parallelMusic):
% bar 40
\tag #'forScore {
  c8 a b a b \accelVivaceText a \startTextSpan gs a \noBreak |
  c8 a b a b a gs a |
  c8 a b a b a gs a |
  c8 a b a b a gs a | }
\tag #'forPart {
  c8 a b a b \accelVivaceText a \startTextSpan gs a \noBreak |
  c8 a b a b \accelVivaceText a \startTextSpan gs a \noBreak |
  c8 a b a b \accelVivaceText a \startTextSpan gs a \noBreak |
  c8 a b a b \accelVivaceText a \startTextSpan gs a \noBreak | }
% bar 41
b8_\cresc gs a gs a gs fs gs |
b8_\cresc gs a gs a gs fs es |
b8_\cresc gs g gs g fs gs fs |
b8_\cresc gs g gs g fs e fs |
% bar 42
a8 fs gs fs gs fs e fs |

% bar 43
gs8 e fs e fs fs es fs |
fs8 gs es fs es fs fs es |
fs8 g fs es fs g fs g |
es8 fs g fs g fs g fs |
% bar 44
\tag #'forScore {

  fs8\ff g! es fs es fs fs fs |
  fs8\ff g fs es fs es fs es |
  es8\ff fs g es fs es fs fs | }

  fs8\ff \stopTextSpan g! es fs es fs fs fs |
  fs8\ff \stopTextSpan g fs es fs es fs es |
  es8\ff \stopTextSpan fs g es fs es fs fs | }

Thanks again.

Re: Text-spanner text repeated at start of line

[David Sumbler]

I have now got around to trying to use
text-spanner-inner-text-lyric-mode.ly, as suggested by Pierre.

The basic concept is great, but I am having a few difficulties (some of
which may be to do with the fact that I have never used \lyricmode
before).

It has been suggested that a Tempo spanner might be useful eventually.
That would certainly have helped me, because I want "accelerando
moltoalVivace (텞=138)" to appear in each of the four parts of
the string quartet, but only once in the score.  I have got around this
problem for now by using tags named "forScore" and forPart".

My second problem is that I want upright, bold text - the style that is
usually used for tempo markings.  Unfortunately, I have not found a way
of doing this, other than using \markup \upright \bold for each distinct
part of the text, thus:

\addTextSpannerText \lyricmode {
\markup \upright \bold "accelerando molto" -- 
\markup \upright \bold al -- 
\markup \upright \bold "Vivace (2 = 138)" }

I can't help feeling that there must be a way of formatting lyrics
globally, but I haven't managed to find it in the manual yet.

The third problem is the minim for the tempo marking at the end.  I
can't use \note #"2", because that will be treated as a separate markup
and be spaced away from "Vivace(" and "= 138)".

Is there a way of achieving what I want?

David

In this case you'd need to address the TextSpanner grob.  Check the
properties here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/textspanner
Listed is a 'font-shape property, set by default to 'italic.  So all you'd
need to do is:
\override TextSpanner.font-shape = #'upright

TextSpanner supports the font-interface which has the property 'font-series
and you could set that to bold:
\override TextSpanner.font-series = #'bold
(See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/internals/font_002dinterface)

Sure.  You'd just need to use \concat or some such.  There may be a special
"format a markup like a tempo" function somewhere that you could use, but
my memory fails me.

Hope this helps,

You could try

\addTextSpannerText \markupMap LyricEvent.text
\markup \upright \bold \etc
\lyricmode { "accelerando molto --
 al --
 "Vivace (2 = 138)" }

This is not particularly fabulous I'll readily admit and requires a
suitably current version.  But you could put the bulk in a macro

\addTempoText =
\addTextSpannerText \markupMap LyricEvent.text
  \markup \upright \bold \etc \etc

Uh, maybe?

\concat { "Vivace (" \note #"2" " = 138)" }

\markupMap is not really a pretty command.  Maybe it should rather
accept a music type rather than a music name?  That would turn this into

\markupMap lyric-event.text ...

which might be somewhat more flexible.

Re: Text-spanner text repeated at start of line

[David Sumbler]

Thanks, both, for your help on this.

Regarding
\override TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text = ##f

In section 3.1.122 of the internals reference, I see 'left.broken' as an
item in the 'bound-details' list but with no indication of what it does,
nor that 'left-broken.text' is possible and the values that could take.
How could I have found this out from the documentation?

As suggested, the thread linked to by Pierre seems to be a good bet.  It
has taken me some time to read through it all and try out the various
attached files.

I am quite happy to install version 2.19.27, so that I can get the
result I want (with dotted lines).  More likely I shall install
v2.19.30, which seems to be the latest.  Has any of the material
developed in connection with the "Text centralized above a TextSpan"
thread actually been incorporated into v2.19.30, or is that yet to come?

Dotted-list syntax is decidedly newer than nested properties.  2.18 or
so?

There were all sorts of problems with reverting nested overrides.  The
current version works as expected, though a revert path must exactly
match a previously used override path in order to have an effect.  You
cannot revert sublists of a previous override.  At some point of time,
reality takes its toll.

> David Kastrup fixed it some time ago.

2.19.13, about a year ago.  Not yet available in a stable version.

You'll find that my issue comments and solution sketches on the problem
run from years 2011 to 2014.  This one took a really long time until I
figured out a solution I considered satisfactory in performance as well
as reliability (I probably printed out at least 4 times as much paper
and scribbled over it than for the rest of LilyPond combined).  The
solution also touched some other issues.

At any rate, using overrides on single settings in a nested alist (and
reverting them eventually) is nothing to avoid in current developer
versions but can still be problematic in the current stable version.

Hi David,

well, we have
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/spanners#using-the-line_002dspanner_002dinterface

Could you suggest on the bug-list something to improve it?
I'm a non-native speaker ...

In general, the bound-details-property is a list of lists. With
possible settings for (pseudo-code)
'(
  (left )
  (left-broken )
  (right )
  (right-broken )
)
I think, possible key-value-settings are explained quite well in the
above linked doc.

Of course it's possible but quite tedious to always enter the whole
list. Therefore, we have the dotted-list syntax for nested properties,
which modifies a single entry in the (default-)list, like`
bound-details.left-broken.text'

Btw, there was a problem with reverting overrides for bound-details.
David Kastrup fixed it some time ago.

Re: Text-spanner text repeated at start of line

[David Sumbler]

I think that the documentation you mention is pretty good as it stands -
I just hadn't found it.  That's my fault and my inefficiency.  I hardly
ever use text spanners, and hadn't remembered there was even a section
like that.

I think I need to find some time simply to read through (for the
umpteenth time) the whole of the Notation Reference.  No doubt I shall
be able to absorb many more details than I could the last time I did it.

Hi David,

for your use-case the thread Pierre linked is likely best you can do.

Though, for the record, you can exclude to repeat TextSpanner's text
after line-break. Compare:

\relative {
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "accelerando"
  c''1\startTextSpan \break c c\stopTextSpan
}

\relative {
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "accelerando"
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left-broken.text = ##f
  c''1\startTextSpan \break c c\stopTextSpan
}


HTH,
  Harm

Text-spanner text repeated at start of line

[David Sumbler]

I want to use a marking such as "accel.-alVivace".

However, the following example does not do what I want, because the text
is repeated at the start of each new line of music.  I just want the
dotted line to continue without repetition of the text.

\version "2.19.24"

\relative {
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "accelerando"
  c''4\startTextSpan c c c | c c c c | c c c c \break |
  c4 c c c\stopTextSpan |
  \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text = "al"
  c\startTextSpan c c c\stopTextSpan |
  \tempo "Vivace" c c c c|
}

I tried using break-visibility, but as I expected this property does not
have any with these objects.

How can this be achieved?

Also, it would be nice if the dotted line could be made to continue
right up to the next piece of text, rather than leaving a gap.

David
