Hi,
I noticed this while replying to James.
\override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #8 does not take into account the
fact that a hairpin can be shortened by the presence of a DynamicText.
minimum-length is applied not the real length of the hairpin, but to
the length of the hairpin **if it would not have been shortened by the
presence of a dynamic**. IMHO it should apply to the _real length_ of
the hairpin (the printed one!), even if it is a shortened hairpin
(hey, it is usually these shortened hairpins that we —the users— want
to lengthen when we \override Hairpin #'minimum-length !!).
It is not easy to explain this, I hope the following code will help you
to understand better what I mean.
Snippet
\version 2.15.24
\relative c' {
c1\ |
c\mf |
\override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #8
c\ |
% this shortened (due to the presence of the DynamicText) hairpin
% does not have a _real_ minimum-length of #8 !
c1\ppp\^too short! |
\override Hairpin #'minimum-length = #12
c\fff\ |
c\ |
\revert Hairpin #'minimum-length
c\mf\ |
c\p
}
End of snippet
Cheers,
Xavier
