Hi, is there any chance to retrieve the "natural width" of a measure after typesetting but before the line is stretched to the full line width?
This is a rather long-term question, but it would be terrific if - upon a compilation - I could retrieve a list of initial widths of each measure. From this I hope to be able to determine how many concrete measures fit in a line, so if for example adding some content requires the current line to be broken earlier I could determine if the next line would still fit or if that changed break has to continue for subsequent systems. So, is there any moment in the compilation process where the natural, unstretched length of a measure can be calculated? It doesn't have to be an easily-read property and can involve calculation, but actually the x position of the barlines would be an easy target - *if* there's this magic moment in the compilation pipeline ;-) Thanks for any opinions, info or pointers Urs -- u...@openlilylib.org https://openlilylib.org http://lilypondblog.org _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
