Re: lilypond bug 2368

2012-04-28 Thread Mark Mathias
Karol,
I hope someone can help you do what you wish. It's definitely beyond my
level of expertise. From my point of view on the bug squad, this doesn't
look like something that needs to be handled by us, so I'm going to suggest
that future correspondence on this issue not be sent to the bug squad.
Thanks,
Mark

Thank you Phil.

Dear LilyPond friends: Janek, Phil, Colin,

I have another big problem now. I'm trying to find a global setting that
would allow to ignore collisions between ties and accidentals. For me, a
tie-accidental collision looks a way better than a shifted tie - especially
in tied chords in which one of the ties is unnaturaly shifted horizontaly.
I'm almost sure that it is possible to achieve this, but I don't know how.

Best wishes

PS Janek, I saw that report. I really appreciate your contribution :)

  OK, thanks for explanation! Actually, I've menaged to solve my problem by 
entering hidden notes with unHidden slur in separate voice. Now the tie refers 
to the right notes and appeals to my sense of aesthetic - despite colliding 
with an accidental (take a look at the attachment).

Check my suggestion at http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=2368 
- it works better and is designed for this.

I see additional dots, you may want to hide them as well.
As for the tie, a perfect solution would involve not only avoiding
accidental, but also moving the augmentation dot a bit... there's a
lot of work to be done on ties.

Ah :)  I found a Karol-Majewski-Elka-student on the net and thought it
may be you.
Nice to see people from Poland!
Are you interested in becoming a contributor? ;)
BTW, i will take the opportunity for an obvious self-promotion: see
how i represent our country in LilyPond newsletter
http://news.lilynet.net/?The-LilyPond-Report-25 !

best,

Yes, i do think that it will make more sense to rewrite tie code
bearing in mind all bad tie cases instead of fixing the issues one by
one.  Besides, i suppose that marking this as critical will have only
one result: next stable release will be postponed for 3 months or so.
It won't make the bug fixed immediately, nor even soon.

Yes.  The bad news is that i won't have time to finish it until
summer.  However, if there's anyone willing to finish it, i can share
my results and provide some guidance.  The task requires aesthetic
sense and analytical skills, and i estimate 40 hours of work is needed
to finish the tie analysis - no idea how long implementation will
take.

Bottom line: find someone to finish tie report and implement it's
conclusions (or pay David to implement them - i will add €50 from
myself if this is done before May 15).

i hope that didn't sound too discouraging :)
