Beams across barlines and line breaking

2007-07-26 Thread Siska Ádám

Hello,


after upgrading to 2.11, the beams going accross barlines block the 
engine from making line breaks. The problem is that I have a polyphonic 
place in the score I'm engraving where there are 9 bars one after the 
other that have barline-crossing beams in some of the voices, and 9 bars 
are much longer than a single line in an arbitrary paper. If I try to 
introduce manual line breaks with the \break command, I only get the 
following warning:


   warning: forced break was overridden by some other event, should you 
be using bar checks?


And the line still doesn't get broken. How can I force the lines to 
break? Is this maybe a bug?



Thank you,
Adam

Hi Adam,

Same answer as for glissandi ...

 \override Beam #'breakable = ##t

... somewhere in the score will fix this.

In general, any grob subcribing to the breakable (?) interface in the
2.11 program reference will need #'breakable = ##t to break across
lines.

(The 2.11 program reference appears to be down at the moment; when
it's up you can see examples of this in, for example, the entry for
the Beam and Glissando grobs.)

If you have Tuplets crossing barlines or line breaks, do the same
thing there, too.
