minimum after-BarLine space in 2.11
It appears that 2.11 leaves has minimum space after a barline, allowing the first note of a measure to be set closer to the barline than in 2.10. In my case this makes the beginning of some measures look crammed against the barline, especially where lyrics are also involved. I have refered to the program reference and have been unable to find a property that controls the minimum amount of space after a barline. I tried kern, thin-kern and space-alist (all of it, changing only first-note fixed-space), but to no avail. Any suggestions?

wrong 'reply' - see below d out of interest, where would i find this in the new docs? cheers d On 7 Nov 2007, at 18:09, Kieren MacMillan wrote: Howdy!

Re: minimum after-BarLine space in 2.11
Hi Wilbert, Just a question to improve my Lily understanding: Can this also be written as: \override BarLine #'space-alist #'next-note #'semi-fixed-space = 1.2 I'm not sure... there are several analogous shortcuts for other constructs, but I don't know if it works here. Hopefully someone else can be of more assistance. Best regards, Kieren. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

On the other hand, it's an undocumented feature that you can use this syntax in this situation. /Mats ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

According to my (somewhat limited) understanding, I believe that both constructs keep the rest of the space-alist settings. The first construct would set the next note property to '(semi-fixed-space . 1.2) and eliminate any other elements in the next-note property, if they exist. The second construct would update only the semi-fixed-space element of the next-note property, retaining any other values that might exist. Is my understanding incorrect? My mental model is that \override ItemHavingProperties #'foo #'bar #'baz #'frob = value will set the frob property in the baz subchain of the bar subchain of the foo alist-chain. It would also be possible to set \override ItemHavingProperties #'foo #'bar #'baz = #'(frob . value) but this will set the baz subchain value to (frob . value) and eliminate any other items in the baz subchain. If I'm wrong, please help me understand things. Thanks, Carl ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
Re: minimum after-BarLine space in 2.11
Sorry, I was just confused when I wrote my previous answer. Also, I hadn't actually tried any example in LilyPond. If you do, you will soon realize that: - None of the commands given below do anything useful, since you have to replace BarLine by Score.BarLine. - The construct \override Score.BarLine #'space-alist #'next-note #'semi-fixed-space = 1.2 does not work and results in an error message. The reason, I think, is that this setting just adds a new entry to the alist and LilyPond gets confused when it finds two different settings for next-note in the space-alist. /Mats Carl Sorensen wrote: Mats Bengtsson ee.kth.se> writes: Wilbert Berendsen wrote: Op woensdag 7 november 2007, schreef Kieren MacMillan: \override BarLine #'space-alist #'next-note = #'(semi-fixed-space . 1.2) \override BarLine #'space-alist #'next-note #'semi-fixed-space = 1.2 It's not equivalent to Kieren's answer, but it's much better, since it keeps all the other settings of the space-alist for BarLine objects.

Re: minimum after-BarLine space in 2.11
Hi, I think that Kieren had probably assumed I would put it in \layout{} Yes -- your last few posts implied that you put most tweaks there... I suppose that it would work with just BarLine if it were placed inside the \layout block after \context { \Score ... Correct!

I think that Kieren had probably assumed I would put it in \layout{} but I wasn't doing that, so I added "Score." and it worked.
