Hi all, Can someone tell me how I can get the text width inside scheme?
There's a method called ly:text-dimension that takes font metric and the text as parameters and gives the dimensions. Alright - I should get the font metric somehow. I tried (let ((fontMetr (ly:grob-property BarNumber 'font))) (...)) but the fontMetr is not a font metric (ly:font-metric? returns false) although the description in font-interface made me think so. In the end I'd like to have a function that could be used for positioning the "bis'd" bar number so that the number part would be aligned just like the normal bar numbers – right edge aligned with the left edge of the staff. I could use extra-offset to move it but that would not be nice. :-) Trevor Daniels explains very well how to attach the "bis" part but the alignment is still not optimal: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-03/msg00195.html I won't ask anything about ly:make-simple-closure yet. That'll come later. ;-) -Risto _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
