Hi guys, I'm trying to place control curves between notehead locations -- it seems like I'm getting close, but now I'm stuck. I was able to find some code that I could adjust to my needs for the most part, but I'm not able to move beyond straight lines so far.
I have a couple questions about the syntax for creating new stencils: Here is the code that I have which works now - but is just straight lines. %------------------- \version "2.17.13" #(define (path-gliss grob) (if (ly:stencil? (ly:line-spanner::print grob)) (let* ((stencil (ly:line-spanner::print grob)) (X-ext (ly:stencil-extent stencil X)) (Y-ext (ly:stencil-extent stencil Y)) (width (interval-length X-ext)) (len (interval-length Y-ext))) (ly:stencil-translate (grob-interpret-markup grob (markup (#:path 0.2 (list (list 'moveto 0 0) (list 'lineto 3 -2) (list 'lineto width len))))) (cons (interval-start X-ext) (interval-start Y-ext)))) #f)) \relative c' { \override Stem #'direction = #DOWN \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t \override NoteHead #'no-ledgers = ##t \override NoteHead #'stem-attachment = #'(0 . -0.25) \override Glissando #'bound-details = #'((right (0 . 0) (end-on-accidental . #f) (padding . 0.)) (left (0 . 0) (padding . 0.))) \override Glissando #'stencil = #path-gliss c2\glissando e f\glissando g' } %---------------- When I try to replace the lineto, with curveto, I get an error message. Should curveto work here? For instance: (markup (#:path 0.2 (list (list 'moveto 0 0) (list 'curveto 0 0 0 0 0 0 width len)))) gives the error: /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/scm/stencil.scm:386:16: While evaluating arguments to line-min-max in expression (apply line-min-max x): /Applications/LilyPond.app/Contents/Resources/share/lilypond/current/scm/stencil.scm:386:16: Wrong number of arguments to #<procedure line-min-max (x1 y1 x2 y2)> Also, in general I'm a little unclear about how stencils are created -- I understand that the path-gliss function above is returning a new stencil which is referred to in the lilypond #'stencil = #path-gliss, however I'm not clear on which part of the function is creating the stencil (or is this a glyph?). Does the grob-interpret-markup function return a stencil by itself? If I remove the ly:stencil-translate, or replace it with make-stencil, or ly:stencil-expr, I am able to compile with no errors, but no line is engraved. So far I haven't been able to find much documentation about this -- please let me know if you know what's going on! thanks, Rama
