Re: Parenthesizing chord names

2009-03-02 Thread lasconic 

That's great! Thanks a lot!

Just a question, do you think it's possible to have left/right as a param
instead of defining a scheme function for each one ? For example, you might
want to have more option like use [ instead of ( and then you need to create
two others functions and new LBC/RBC and it seems easier to have something
like this in chord mode.

\set chordNameFunction = #my-parenthesis-ignatzek-chord-names
\set bracket= round
\set bracket-dir = left

And a scheme function with some if /then/else statements. You see what I
mean ?

I wanted to see if I could make such a pair deliver something close 
to what the OP illustrated, and managed this using \put-adjacent. 
This itself requires a direction parameter (#LEFT / #RIGHT), 
so I ended up with a onesided version. See below. 


Features:
- adjustable bracket separation 
- preserves chordname alignment 
- compatible with non-default chordNameFunction

You could probably just add the Text_engraver to the ChordNames

Yes, this works, but I found that the markups need to be attached to the 
chornames with _ or ^, so you need to #'extra-offset them to get them on 
the same line as the chordnames.


If you try to add Note_heads_engraver to the ChordNames context, so you 
can attach markups to spacer notes, you get actual notes for your chords 
above the staff as well!

ChordName outputs via text-interface, so the easiest way should be 
 \once \override ChordNames.ChordName #'text = ( 
 
But this has no effect. It probably acts too early, 
i.e. before the Chord_name_engraver has written its result to #'text. 

Trevor answered a similar question a year ago: 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2008-03/msg00275.html 

His solution modified the stencil, letting it overwrite #'text 
just before printing. 
As addBrackets it wrapped only a single chord, but you could 
derive a left_only and a right_only version easily enough. 

But if you want the bracket standing alone, how about setting up 
a superfluous chord at the right place, and overwritung that? 


See the snippet below; overwriteCN could also do things like N.C.

Robin
