I thought that the time change might force it to align correctly, but when you have it in 2/2 and use \bar " " the exact same problem appears. Doing what Keith suggested (and what I originally tried, but I couldn't remember how to make the SpanBar transparent) should work the best. On Mon, Dec 16

2013-12-15 Thread Alex Loomis
If this is something you're composing, general practice would suggest you move it to the beginning or end of the bar. That said, you could make time signatures and bar lines temporarily invisible and represent that internally as two bars of 2/2. \version "2.16.2" global = { \key c \major \num

If you want them above the bracket, the following code works: \version "2.17.95" << \chords { c2 g:sus4 \override Score.ChordName #'Y-offset = #'2 f e g c \override Score.ChordName #'Y-offset = #'0 c/g c } \relative c'' { \override Score.VoltaBracketSpanner #'Y-offset = #'1 \repeat v

If they were to use the keys like Urs suggested then internal sort order wouldn't matter, so, to the user, it would seem like it is user-determined. On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 10:42 AM, PMA wrote: > Urs Liska wrote: > Am 15.12.2013 15:19, schrieb Kieren MacMillan: > >> Exactly the other way around

I suspect you could get it to work by messing with outside-staff-priority instead of removing the engraver, but I can't test that right away since this computer doesn't have lilypond. On Sun, Dec 15, 2013 at 12:03 PM, Sam Whited wrote: > Hi all, > > I recently asked this question over on Music.
