It depends on how you define “indent” and “short-indent”… or “margin”… ;) All kidding aside: 1. Perhaps there could be a switch — acting a bit like PaperColumn.keep-inside-line, but built like RehearsalMark.break-align-symbols — which would determine those grobs that cannot pass the page margins? For example, I might want short-indent fixed to the margin and InstrumentNames added post-hoc (i.e., the current default), or I might want InstrumentNames added first and [short-]indent calculated post-hoc; I might want any TextScript or RehearsalMark (etc.) dangling [and possibly running off the page, as InstrumentName currently does], or RehearsalMark might form the left-most “printed edge” sitting flush against the margin. 2. Regardless of the above, instrumentName and shortInstrumentName should utimately have different settings: right now, it’s extremely difficult to set paddings, alignments, etc. for them independently (i.e., you can’t, but you can fudge it). Just thinking out loud… =) Kieren. ________________________________ Kieren MacMillan, composer ‣ website: www.kierenmacmillan.info ‣ email: i...@kierenmacmillan.info _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
