Hi, recently there was a thread about BarNumbers in ovals on the user-list http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/Henle-piano-template-td148093.html (The markup-command oval is currently on review.)
Researching more about how BarNumbers are formatted, I found that we currently have only one defined formatter, afaik: barNumberFormatter =robust-bar-number-function Additionally, we show workarounds in /Documentation/snippets http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/snippets/rhythms#rhythms-printing-bar-numbers-inside-boxes-or-circles I thought about a) adding something like #(define*-public ((format-oval-barnumbers-alt #:optional (padx 0.75) (pady 0.75) (thickness 1)) barnum measure-pos alt-number context) " Returns the BarNumber with an oval drawn around it. For use with @code{barNumberFormatter} @var{padx}, @var{pady} and @var{thickness} are optional arguments. @samp{barNumberFormatter = #(format-oval-barnumbers-alt)} or @samp{barNumberFormatter = #(format-oval-barnumbers-alt 1.11 2.22 3.33)} " (make-override-markup `(x-padding . ,padx) (make-override-markup `(y-padding . ,pady) (make-override-markup `(thickness . ,thickness) (make-oval-markup (robust-bar-number-function barnum measure-pos alt-number context)))))) or b) adding something like #(define-public (make-stencil-ovaler thickness x-padding y-padding callback) "Return function that adds an oval around the grob passed as argument." (lambda (grob) (oval-stencil (callback grob) thickness x-padding y-padding))) and expand the snippet with it. or c) showing the most simple method: \override Score.BarNumber.before-line-breaking = #(lambda (grob) (let* ((txt (ly:grob-property grob 'text))) (ly:grob-set-property! grob 'text (markup #:oval txt)))) What are the opinions? Is some of it worth to be turned into a patch? -Harm _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
