Subject: Re: Adds tick mark to scripts (issue 6568055)
Hmm.
My answer to "how would we place the glyph at the correct vertical
position, above the barline?" is: i suppose that we're going to create
a \tickBreathe command; if so, i guess that defining it in this manner
tickBreathe = {
\override BreathingSign #'outside-staff-priority = something
\override BreathingSign #'staff-padding = something
\override BreathingSign #'stencil = #(...)
\breathe
}
should result in "tick breathe" appearing where we want it (i.e. i
hope that outside-staff-priority will result in placing this object
outside of the staff, and staff-padding will determine how far would
that be).
cheers,
Janek
Well, in the current version of the NR, the guidance for changing the breath
sign is:
\override BreathingSign #'text = \markup {\musicglyph
#"scripts.caesura.straight"}
No padding or anything else there. This is what I thought it best to
replicate. I am OK with providing documentation that shows how to move the
tick sign away from the top of the stave. I'm just not OK with its default
being halfway across the staff line. That's plain ugly. I've designed the
glyph to be used as a tick for a breath mark. No-one has cried out for a
similar sign for any other purpose. Let's keep the baseline in the obvious
place - at the bottom of the glyph. If you want one elsewhere, please add
another glyph.
