Folks, I'm getting various problems with my closing bar-lines, as demonstrated in the code attached below. If you compile it you'll see that:
i) the closing bar of the choral section is far to close to the last notes. I've tried overriding all kinds of BarLine properties, including extra-offset and spacing-alist, but can't get anything to do what I need. I'm getting this same error in various choral sections throughout my score. Two are okay, eleven are not and I can't work out what the common feature is for the ones that are okay! It seems to be predominently final bar-lines causing the problem - bar-lines internal to the choral sections are mostly spaced just fine, although there are some which are too close to the preceeding notes. I'd like a fix I could apply to those too, without upsetting all the ones which are okay. What's going on, and how do I fix it? I'm thinking it might be easier to define exactly what I want (a double-bar line with a fixed amount of spacing before it) as an identifier that I can just insert instead of \bar "|."? Can I do this, and if so, how? Is it the best solution? ii) the 'finalis' in the first cantor line appears more like a final double bar (a thin and a thick line) but the second 'finalis' is okay. What's going on and how do I make them all okay? iii) the staff lines extend beyond the 'finalis' for the second cantor line. Again, what's going on, and how do I fix it? I also have another problem, for which I've not provided code because I don't have time to create a minimal example. In the longer choral sections, all my bar-lines are different weights, varying between very heavy and medium. I'd prefer them all to be medium. What do I need to tweak to set this? Thanks, Charlotte =========code snippet begins============== \version 2.11.28 \include "gregorian-init.ly" #(set-global-staff-size 14) \paper { #(set-default-paper-size "a4" "portrait") ragged-last-bottom = ##t ragged-bottom = ##f #(define page-breaking ly:page-turn-breaking) } \layout { \context { \Score \override Stem #'thickness = #0.8 \override BarLine #'thickness = #0.8 \override PaperColumn #'keep-inside-line = ##t \override InstrumentName #'font-size = #-2 \override InstrumentName #'font-family = #'sans-serif } \context { \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-3 . 3) \remove "Time_signature_engraver" } \context { \Lyrics \override LyricSpace #'minimum-distance = #1.2 \consists "Bar_engraver" \consists "Separating_line_group_engraver" \override BarLine #'transparent = ##t } } global = { \key c \minor \autoBeamOff \cadenzaOn } cantor = { \clef bass \key c \minor \set Score.timing = ##f \cadenzaOn \override Stem #'transparent = ##t } testnotesCanI = \relative c' {g4 c2 bes4 c \finalis } testwordsCanI = \lyricmode {one two three four } testnotesS = \relative c'' {c4 \bar "|" bes8[ aes] g[ f] g4 g4 \bar "|." } testnotesA = \relative c' {ees4 f ees ees ees } testnotesT = \relative c' {aes4 bes c bes bes } testnotesB = \relative c {f4 g g ees ees } testwordsChoir = \lyricmode {ein zwei drei vi -- er. } testnotesCanII = \relative c' {c2 \finalis } testwordsCanII = \lyricmode {five } \markup { \fill-line { \translate #(cons 0 -17.5) { \score { \new Staff = cantorI << \new Voice ="testCanI" { << \cantor \testnotesCanI >> } \new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext=cantor} \lyricsto testCanI \testwordsCanI >> \layout { } } } \score { \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff = sops << \new Voice = "testS" { << \global \testnotesS>> } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto testS \testwordsChoir \new Staff = alto << \new Voice = "testA" { << \global \testnotesA >> } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto testA \testwordsChoir \new Staff = men << \clef bass \new Voice = "testT" { \voiceOne <<\global \testnotesT >> } \new Voice = "testB" { \voiceTwo <<\global \testnotesB >> } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto testB \testwordsChoir >> \layout { } } \translate #(cons 0 -17.5) { \score { \new Staff = cantorII << \new Voice ="testCanII" { << \cantor \testnotesCanII >> } \new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext=cantor} \lyricsto testCanII \testwordsCanII >> \layout { } } } } } =============code snippet ends==================== -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/closing-bar-lines---spacing-and-display-issues-in-2.11.28-tf4230271.html#a12034778 Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
