Re: Flag stencil

Hi Marc, Thanks. But I specifically mentioned I am drawing my own stencil, not using a font glyph. Digging deeper, the answer lies in flag-styles.scm, where can be found a recursive function buildflag that recursively draws the supplied stencil in the right offsets according to the supplied du

Re: Flag stencil

Isn’t \override Flag.stencil = #modern-straight-flag or \override Flag.stencil = #(straight-flag [some values, see flag-styles.scm for explanation]) what you want? I think you don’t need to write the stencil from scratch ;) Am 24.03.2016 um 09:37 schrieb Andrew Bernard: Hi Marc, Thanks. But

Hi Malte, Thanks. I am engraving a massively complex work by my colleague, a principal exponent of the New Complexity School, and the flags are very subtle. But in fact, I am able to do precisely as you say and it handles all the cases I currently need with a function that calls straight-flag w

Horizontal \sustainOn alignment

Hi List, quick question: is there a way to modify the horizontal alignment of the various \sustainOn grobs? For reasons inexplicable to me (also somewhat odd from an engraving standpoint) my client wants the traditional Ped. glyph left-aligned to the start of the note. Is there a way to do this t

Re: Horizontal \sustainOn alignment

Well, we're talking about mm. here: In all of Gould's examples, it's more the "e" that's centered on the notehead. My client wants the vertical of the P to be flush with the left side of the notehead (which shifts it slightly but noticeably rightward compared to standards). I'm not sure why, but th

Re: Horizontal \sustainOn alignment

Hi Andrew, thank you for your kind offer. To be honest, I tend to agree with you: as ugly as the Fraktur glyph is, it's immediately recognizable (Gould even argues against using a Roman typeface, to avoid confusion with the sostenuto pedal). TBH, I think it was aligned like this in my working copy

Re: Horizontal \sustainOn alignment

Hi, > In all of Gould's examples, it's more the "e" that's centered on the notehead. We must have different Goulds: not only are all of the examples I see left-aligned with the left edge of the “P” [even using a magnifying glass], but Gould explicitly states (in the prose) that this is the the
