Hi Robert, > I will have a go with the extensive and complicated thing you forwarded. (But > not today. ) You can also go with a short and simple, but manually-set, thing: \layout { line-width = 5\in ragged-right = ##f } { c''4 4 4 4 \tweak extra-offset #'(6.75 . 0) 1 \bar "|." } Hope

Hi Andrew, Thank you for your reaction. I can understand that you did not understand why I wanted to centre the final chord. I was thinking of the perectly centered final rests, and if the last bar had not contained a \breve chord but a rest R1*2 would have produced it. I thought that such a

Thanks Lukas, This also works nicely. I have added this override to my list of overrides which still is, as I realize now, very incomplete. Also I had not, up till now, realized that when looking for a solution of a problem in "learning.pdf" or" notation.pdf", or on the LilyPond website, one

Hi Robert, You asked to centre the chord, but then if you add barline offset it's not centred, so I am a bit confused what you mean. although the picture makes it clear. I just wanted to say that there are often times when you really do want to centre a chord or a rest in a single, especially

I have not been able to get what I want.  \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #x (some value) does nothing. I have tried to cheat a bit by surreptitiously changing the "time" of the last 2 bars from 4/2  to 6/2 and add a hidden  whole note to the end of the penultimate bar and  to the

Hi Malte, Many thanks for your reaction. Did it help? Sure, or rather, you gave me the solution for my problem with "\once \override Staff.BarLine.extra-spacing-width = #'(-10 . 10)". I had never seen this anywhere up till now. So I didn't even have to use your testexample. But I will
