Minimal example: /\version "2.19.15" \relative c' {
% === (The following two lines only for cosmetic purposes) === \override Glissando.minimum-length = #12 \override Glissando.springs-and-rods = #ly:spanner::set-spacing-rods \override Glissando.color = #(lambda (grob) (if (eq? (ly:grob-property grob 'glissando-index) 1) #'red #'green )) \override Glissando.bound-details.left.padding = #(lambda (grob) (if (eq? (ly:grob-property grob 'glissando-index) 1) 3 0)) <aes'' ges f d>2. \glissando <f d cis b>4 } / The first (color) override works as expected, but the second (left padding) has no effect at all. Why is this? All I have changed is the 'color' to 'bound-details.left.padding' and the color values to numerical values. I only superficially understand the Scheme code (I copied it from elsewhere), but I cannot guess what the problem might be. If I set /\override Glissando.bound-details.left.padding/ to an explicit value, it works, but for all glissando lines rather than just one. Therefore, I would deduce that the problem lies in my blind modification of the Scheme code. Can anyone point out the error I am making? The actual notational problem I'm trying to solve is this: I want glissando lines to all start from the same horizontal position in a chord, after any augmentation dots. As you can see from the image below, the glissando lines' starting points are based on each notehead, and they go through the augmentation dots. I thought I would be able to manually fiddle with the left and right padding of the individual glissando lines, hence my question above, but I have hit a brick wall. glissando-dots-chords.png <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/n167966/glissando-dots-chords.png> Thanks for any answers!
