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

Hi Siska, Unfortunately the curly brace created for these four instruments is way too wide. Is there a way to shrink the vertical size of the curly brace for the GrandStaff (so that it would have the same width as the curly brace of a GrandStaff consisting of only two instruments)? You could (e.g.) \override SystemStartBrace #'font-size = #-10 and then stretch the brace. Hope this helps!

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): #unspecified 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?

Here's a snippet, using David's lovely mod — hope it helps.

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,

Setting the width of system-starter curly braces
Dear List,
I have four horns playing in an orchestra like this:
\new GrandStaff
\set GrandStaff.instrumentName = #Corni
\set GrandStaff.shortInstrumentName = #Cor.
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #I
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #I
\corI
}
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #II
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #II
\corII
}
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #III
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #III
\corIII
}
\new Staff {
\set Staff.instrumentName = #IV
\set Staff.shortInstrumentName = #IV
\corIV
}
Unfortunately the curly brace created for these four instruments is way too
wide. Is there a way to shrink the vertical size of the curly brace for the
GrandStaff (so that it would have the same width as the curly brace of a
GrandStaff consisting of only two instruments)?
Thank you,
Ádám
