How can I shorten the space for a final single note
Dear all, I have typeset a small example from a theoretical work of Lorenzo Penna. It has 2 sections, each consisting of three bars separated by a double barline. The time is 4/2 and bars 1 and 2 contain mostly half notes. In each section the final note is a \breve. The problem is that Lilypond gives these single final notes the same horizontal space as the four halfnotes in the first two bars. My client does not like it and wants these final bars shortened to at most half their present length with the \breve centered. Can anybody tell me how I can realise this? I tried \set Timing.measureLength = #(ly:make-moment 1/2) and that works but it spoils the result by inserting three empty bars which I do not know how to get rid of. (The law of preservation of misery in full action.) Thanks in advance for any advice. Best regards, Robert Blackstone

Hi Robert, See: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/new-spacing-section Otherwise, please provide a mini example.

Re: How can I shorten the space for a final single note
A workaround could be:
{
a'\breve*1/4
\bar "|."
}
HTH,

Partcombine without slurs or ties?
In the following example:
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><
\version "2.18.0"
MI = { \time 3/4
\override Voice.Slur.stencil = ##f
\override Voice.Tie.stencil = ##f
%comment out the next bar to suppress the slur and tie
c'8~ c' c' c' c' c'
c'8( a'8) c'' c''8 c'' c''8
}
MII = { \time 3/4
\override Voice.Slur.stencil = ##f
\override Voice.Tie.stencil = ##f
%comment out the next bar to suppress the slur and tie
c'8~ c' c' c' c' c'
c'8~ c' c' c' c' c'
}
\score {
\new Staff <<
\partcombine
\MI
\MII
>>
}
8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><8><
I find the slurs and ties are drawn despite no stencil. Stranger still,
the *are* suppressed if I comment out the first bars.
Any ideas?

Re: Partcombine without slurs or ties?
Hi Richard,
It looks like whatever way partcombine creates voices is not
preserving your overrides. At a guess, I'd say it combines the first
bar in both parts into a single voice (including your overrides), then
when it needs to split for the second bar, it creates two voices that
no longer include the overrides. So the overrides are applied up to
the point where the voices split (i.e. just the first bar). I suppose
it could be considered a bug, but I think merging overrides from
different voices is probably a difficult problem to solve for
partcombine (that is, if I'm right about the cause).
As a workaround, I think your options are:
a) don't use partcombine - it's handy but you lose some control over
the output (this would be my choice)
b) either use tweaks for each case where you need to hide the
slurs/ties, or put something in \layout if you want none of them to
show.
Best wishes,
Kevin

Do you want something similar [Sphinx][1] or [Doxygen][2]? Are the source files in Scheme, Lilypond, or a combination of both?
