functions to ignore grob during spacing calculations

Hello all, In the following snippet, there are three macros which "trick" the spacing engine into ignoring a grob during horizontal and/or vertical spacing calculations: SNIPPET BEGINS \version "2.19.64" ignoreH = \tweak horizontal-skylines #f \tweak extra-spacing-width #empty-in

Can \lyricmode be applied to specific measures and exempted from others?

Hi All, I'm curious to know if there is a way to apply \lyricmode to a certain number of measures and then terminate it. My chief concern is that using lyricmode creates excess space between the system and dynamic markings for measures where no lyrics are present. Ideally, I would like to be abl

improving Janek's \dynamic function (for combo dynamics)

Hello all, The snippet below includes Janek's \dynamic function, which has a rather lovely interface. Unfortunately, it doesn't align leading dynamics as expected (i.e., centered on the notehead). What's the easiest way to fix the function so that it does? Thanks, Kieren. %%% SNIPPET BEGINS

printing the current moment in a context

Hi all, Is there a function (2.19.64) that will output the current context moment (e.g., measure number and beat) as markup? In my polymetric scores, I need to target moments (using the edition-engraver), and it currently involves a bit too much trial-and-error… Thanks, Kieren.
