To clarify what I meant: I can't think of any >score where notes that cross barlines would leave any bars empty,
{ \time 2/4 c'4 c'1 c'4 } % 3 bars, 2nd of which is empty { \time 2/4 c'4 c'2 c'4 } % 2 bars, neither of which is empty >which begs the question of what exactly skipBars is supposed to do >with notes that cross barlines? My understanding was that it merges >the bars in question. skipBars is introduced in the Learning Manual (3.4.5 Scores and parts) as a way of condensing multi-measure rests. Its only references in the Manuals are regarding this function. I suspect its impact on notes crossing barlines is either unintended or at least not thought through. I can't imagine a situation where the current behaviour would be desirable (silently hiding a barline thus changing the length of a bar) and it would certainly seem to be a very different use case than condensing multi-measure rests. If there is a case for keeping the behaviour, I would suggest a separate property for notes that cross barlines. >>I would be interested in others' opinions on this. > >I still think you should send this to the bug list, where it is more >likely to get discussed (some of the developers there are not >subscribed to the user list). -- Mark Knoop _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
