Hi all, I think it's a tribute to the lilypond documentation that in 2/3 years of Lilypond usage this is my first time feeling the need to post a question here.
I'm trying to find a way in which to extend a beam horizontally so that it spans the full duration of a note. I suppose that in an ideal world this would mean a beam spanner covering \afterGrace. Is is possible to somehow (via scheme perhaps) grab the position of a grace note and extend the beam right-extent (or some such) to this position? Or is there some other way in which I can tackle this problem? Below is a mock up of the sort of thing I'm after (though obviously the positioning here is just effected by altering Stem #'stencil): \version "2.14" \relative c'' { g8[ \once \override Stem #'layer = #2 \once \override Stem #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print \once \override Stem #'text = \markup \combine \raise #2 \override #'(thickness . 1) \draw-line #'(0 . 1.9) \combine \fontsize #-4 \raise #2 \center-align \with-color #white \draw-circle #0.25 #0.5 ##f \combine \raise #2 \draw-circle #0.5 #0.035 ##f \combine \raise #1.775 \fontsize #-9 \typewriter \center-align 1 \raise #4.25 \fontsize #-7 \translate #'(0.00525 . 0) \left-align \musicglyph #"flags.u3" \once \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t g] \bar "|" } #(set-global-staff-size 32) any help would be greatly appreciated, piaras hoban -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Beam-Length-Query-tp33501067p33501067.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
