Re: Standalone bar lines in StaffGroup
Hi Siska,
Do you have any idea on how to suppress the global barline settings
(if I understand the terminology well, this is supposed to be
called 'barline engraver'),
but only for those few bars, not for the entire score?
I don't believe you can globally affect the barline_engraver itself.
However, you could always define a macro to accomplish the task
easily, as shown below.
Hope this helps!
Kieren.

Re: Standalone bar lines in StaffGroup
Hello, I tried out the '\override SpanBar #'transparent = ##t' command, and although it really removes the barlines between staves, the problem is, that if I introduce a barline in a staff (or I put the repeat volta command) I still get the barlines in every stave. Do you have any idea on how to suppress the global barline settings (if I understand the terminology well, this is supposed to be called 'barline engraver'), but only for those few bars, not for the entire score?

My problem is that if I do what was described there, I get separate barlines for the whole movement. I only need at about 2 measures with separate barlines, the rest should have the same time signature and barline. I try to put here in some kind of plain text that part of the piece (without shars and flats to see better what's going on): | gagabgabgabgabg | abca |: gabca :| (*17) | agabgabgabgabga | bacba |: gabacba :| (*12) | gabgabgabgabgab | cgabc |: gabc :| (*21) As you can see, in the first bar, the barlines are at the same time in every staff, so they must be connected. The begin-repeat barlines are at different times, so they shouldn't be connected with each other. Finally, the ending barlines occur at the same time. (There are 17*5 = 85 notes in the first staff inside the repeat, while there are 7 * 12 = 4 * 21 = 84 notes inside the repeats of the other two staves. If you take in account that the repeat block in the first staff begins one note prior to the repeat blocks of the other staves, you'll see that the ending barlines occur at the same time). Now, I have to invent something to engrave this... Hm... If you have to do it manually, do you know about the difference between the Bar and SpanBar grobs? The SpanBar is the element that goes *between* (but not *through) the staves. And you can dynamically hide (and show) the SpanBars at any point using something like \once \override SpanBar #'transparent = ##t. I think the SpanBar lives in a relaitvely high-level context, so you might have to say Score.SpanBar or something to make it work. Try running a small test to see how that works. You can also add bars at any point with \bar | if you do have to go the manual route. ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user

This is normally good for bar lines, as normally I need single barlines that display through the four staves.

The 2.11 manual seems to be offline at the moment. But check 8.4.1 Polymetric notation in the 2.10 manual. Should work fine; if not, post a minimal example that gets as close as you can. P.S. If someone knew a solution on how to connect a horizontal line to a barline, or better, a solution to how to tell the engine to put the first notes of the bars exactly on the barline (as this would solve the line problem with some invisible notes on the barline that have glissando lines attached), please tell me! (The 'put the first notes of the bar exactly on the barline' could also be useful to engrave scores that have strict space notation, like Tristan Murail's ones.) This is possible today using proportional notation. The 2.10 manual mentions proportional notation only a little; the 2.11 manual (which, again, is currently offline) treats proportional notation in much greater detail. Read about that in 2.11 when it's available, and expect to spend a day or two running examples to learn how the different proportional notation parameters interact. -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
