Hello. I am setting unmetred chant, using \set Score.timing = ##f. Previously I have always inserted \bar"" \break wherever I wanted a linebreak without a barline. Now I have discovered that I can use barAlways and defaultBarType = "" to insert invisible barlines between all the notes, which makes the linebreaks happen more or less automatically. Using this method would make my work a lot quicker, but the slurs look funny because they are avoiding the invisible barlines. Can I make the slurs ignore the invisible barlines?
Also, I thought that \bar"" took up no space at all, but now I'm not sure. Are the invisible barlines taking up space; and if so is it possible to change the padding on all invisible barlines without also changing the padding on visible ones? I'm running Lilypond 2.10 on Linux Here's an example file : \version "2.10" \score { \relative c'' { \set Score.timing = ##f \set Score.barAlways = ##t \set Timing.defaultBarType = "" \key g \major \autoBeamOff b4 c8([ d]) b4.( g8) a([ c]) b([ a]) g4( a) b4 c8([ d]) e4 d8([ c]) d4 c b4.( a8) g([ a]) b4 a b8([ c]) d2 d4 c b8([ c]) d4 e d c8([ b]) d4( c) b g8([ a]) b4 c8([ d]) b4 b8([ g]) a([ c b a]) g4 a b2 } \layout { ragged-last = ##t \context { \Staff \remove "Time_signature_engraver" \remove "Bar_number_engraver" } } } Many thanks.
