Updating this with cleaned up code and a clearer example in four parts. Realized a few things: 1) The context property changes are working as I expected and staves are correctly hiding or showing. There is no need to use remove-layers here. 2) When keepAliveInterfaces is set to '() in the first

2018-12-30 Thread Davide Liessi
Hi all. Is it possible to automatically shorten the dashed line in TextSpanners so that the line of the first TextSpanner ends before the left text of the second TextSpanner (and thus the two TextSpanners can align vertically)? \version "2.19.82" { \override TextSpanner.bound-details.left.text

"as fast as possible" pseudo-tuplets
