Subject: | Tied note with accidental over bar line adds unwanted space |
Date: | Wed, 20 Apr 2016 11:22:58 -0400 |
When there’s an accidental on the uppermost note in a chord which is tied over a bar line, Lilypond makes space in the next bar as if the accidental were reprinted when two other conditions are true: there’s an accidental in a lower chord note, and--no surprise--if the interval between the notes is less than a 6th. Of course, this causes the lower note's accidental to be too far left from its notehead. You can see this displacement on the first beat of bars 2 & 3 in the example below, whereas subsequent tie/accidental combinations are fine. I tried searching the bug reports for this, but clearly there’s an art to that I don’t yet possess, so I finally gave up … I’ve seen an example of moving an accidental in a single note using \once \override Staff.AccidentalPlacement.right-padding, but that doesn’t seem to work in a chord. But even if I were able to do that, there would still be unwanted extra space after the bar line. The only thing I’ve found to do is change the tie to a slur (then tweak it, of course, so it looks like a tie) and then remove the accidental in the next bar (I don’t need MIDI output, so the wrong note isn’t a problem). This, though, has already come up several times in the music I’m currently working on, so I was wondering if there's another workaround or something I’m missing. Any suggestions? \version “2.19.39" \new Staff \relative c' { \key ees \major \time 2/4 \clef treble <c ees>4 <ces ees ges~> <bes des ges>4 <ges' ces~> <fes ces'>4 <aeses~ ces> <aeses des>4 <des, ges~> <ees ges>4 a~ <b, a'>2 } } -- Dan |
