Re: Ambitus placement

[Simon Albrecht]

Thanks a lot, Kevin. That did it.
I further modified it to avoid the

programming error: No spacing entry from Item to `time-signature'

and included the other entries present in the default, so it now reads as in the attachment.

Best regards, Simon

OK so the space-alist property is what needed changing. This should do what you want

\version "2.18.2"

\score {

  \relative {

    \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders =

    #(make-vector 3 '(left-edge breathing-sign clef key-cancellation key-signature ambitus time-signature staff-bar cue-clef custos))

    \override Staff.KeySignature.space-alist =

    #'((ambitus extra-space . 1) (time-signature extra-space . 1.15))

    \override Staff.Ambitus.space-alist = #'((key-signature extra-space . 1))

    \time 3/8 \key c \minor

    es'8 g c

  }

  \layout {

    \context { \Staff

      \consists "Ambitus_engraver" }

  }

}

Thus I’d like to place the ambitus just before the time signature, after clef and key signature. How can I do that?

Hi Simon,

This should get your part of the way towards what you want. It puts the ambitus after the key signature, but produces an error and non-optimal spacing. The property you need to change is BreakAlignment, which determines the order in which these things appear. Hopefully someone else can help with the error.

\version "2.18.2"

\score {

  \relative {

    \override Score.BreakAlignment #'break-align-orders =

    #(make-vector 3 '(left-edge breathing-sign clef key-cancellation key-signature ambitus time-signature staff-bar cue-clef custos))

    \time 3/8 \key c \minor

    es'8 g c

  }

  \layout {

    \context { \Staff

      \consists "Ambitus_engraver" }

  }

}
