Scalings that change the aspect ratio significantly tend do cause inconsistent widths of curves. So they are more or less a last resort if there is no other way to ask for the respective glyphs with a different aspect ratio. -- David Kastrup ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

The function ly:stencil-scale needs a stencil to work with (hence the error you were getting), and this variant checks to see if we have one before calling it. \override GrandStaff.SystemStartBrace #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (let ((brace (ly:system-start-delimiter::print grob))) (if (ly:stencil? brace) (ly:stencil-scale brace 0.75 1 Hope this helps! -David ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

this is quite weird. This code compiles fine. However, in my original score it
doesn't work. After some more experimenting, I figured out that the problem is,
that I have the \RemoveEmptyStaves in the \Staff context. After removing that,
it compiled just fine. Maybe it's some bug. Anyway, the \RemoveEmptyStaves is
not that important for this particular score, so I disabled it.
Thank you for your help,

Re: Setting the width of system-starter curly braces
Hi David, thank you indeed for the reply. Unfortunately I can't get this code to work; I'm getting the following error during compiling: Drawing systems...ERROR: In procedure ly:stencil-scale: ERROR: Wrong type argument in position 1 (expecting Stencil): # Unfortunately I don't know Scheme, so although I tried all the little syntactic modifications I could imagine (changing parentheses or adding # symbols here or there randomly), I couldn't make it work. Could you please have a look at this error message and suggest me how to proceed?

You could (e.g.) \override SystemStartBrace #'font-size = #-10 and then stretch the brace. Hope this helps!
