I’ve noticed that the problem not just exists with MultiMeasureRests, but
also with spacer rests.
However, it vanishes if I add a ChordNames context to the score including
anything but spacer rests at the expanded bar. This solves it for my
current use case, but in case I come across it in a different scenario
again: if there is no global fix for this, what would be my best option to
override certain things to achieve the desired normal spacing?
I’m coming very close with adjusting Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
in a new SpacingSection (at least if I increase the number of bars per
line, which is a more real-world example anyway), but I’m not sure if
that’s the best way to go about it:
\version "2.25.24"
\include "oll-core/package.ily"
\loadPackage \with {
modules = conditional-breaks
} page-layout
\registerBreakSet breaks
\setBreaks breaks line-breaks #'()
\applyConditionalBreaks breaks
\setOption page-layout.conditional-breaks.use #'(
line-breaks
)
\paper {
ragged-right = ##f
}
\relative c'' {
\newSpacingSection
\override Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment = 0.03
R1 |
\newSpacingSection
\revert Score.SpacingSpanner.spacing-increment
R1*3 |
}
Cheers,
Peter
