I've started doing some simple exercises to acquaint myself with the Lilypond
syntax. In the following snippet I try to change the second notehead to an x
and make the stem connect properly:
\version "2.11.61"
\relative c' {
\time 4/4
c
\once \override NoteHead #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Stem #'Y-offset = #0.15
\once \override Stem #'length = #6.85
\once \override NoteHead #'text = #(markup #:musicglyph
"noteheads.s2cross")
d e f |
}
I'm confused why the stem length shouldn't normally be 3 for a stem that
spans three spaces. In the Internals Reference for stem, the unit for the
setting "length" is given as "dimension, in staff space." How is that
different than a number?
Is there a reference table somewhere that lists the units of measurement
used by Lilypond?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan
