Hi everyone,
I've just started using Lilypond a week or so ago, and so far I'm very
impressed! I've been able to produce really nice results in a relatively
short time.
My main interest is in typesetting renaissance choral music, and there's
one thing I haven't been able to figure out how to do. Some singers (incl
myself) prefer to have notes cross over bar lines when it's appropriate
from the manuscript, and I've seen two ways to represent this.
One is to use the Mensurstriche layout, which has bar lines between staves
but not through them. My preferred option is to move the barline up or down
if the note is low or high, and split it if the note is in the middle.
I've been able to move the barline up and down with the following commands:
upBar = { \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(0.5 . 3) }
downBar = { \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-3 . -0.5) }
And reset it to normal with
fullBar = { \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-2 . 2) }
But I can't figure out how to get the split bar line. Ideally, it would
look something like :
topPart = { \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(2 . 3) }
bottomPart = [ \override Staff.BarLine #'bar-extent = #'(-3 . -2) }
but both at the same time!
Can anyone suggest how I might achieve this?
Cheers,
Murray-Luke
