Hi Eluze, Thanks for your tip, indeed by adding this \override command everything looks better (in my opinion). Maybe we should add this to the documentation, since this kind of writing is very used in the percussion section of a full orchestral score, and also because the only example in the documentation of changing line-count there involves a change in between bar lines, thus not showing this "problem" we discuss here: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/a8/lily-ef95c0bf.png
Also, when a change time signatures happens at the same place, things really get ugly. The code below... \version "2.17.28" \relative c'' { f4 d g, e | \stopStaff \override Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count = #2 \startStaff \time 3/4 f'4 d g, | \stopStaff \revert Staff.StaffSymbol.line-count \startStaff \time 4/4 f'4 d g, e | } ...outputs this: http://s22.postimg.org/j5bftjy9t/image.png If there is also some possible tweak for this situation, I also think it should be added to the documentation. Thanks a lot and take care, Gilberto -- View this message in context: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/ugly-bar-line-when-changing-line-count-tp152072p152112.html Sent from the User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
