Re: Alternative bars in the middle of measure

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Sven,

try to put 'number instead of 'text in your code:

altBracket = #(define-music-function (parser location tag) (string?)
  #{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list (list 'volta (markup #:number tag))) #})

Cheers,

Pierre

Hello Lilyponders!

For the kind of music I mostly typeset, it is common to have alternative bars or even alternative notes in the middle of a measure. At the moment I handle this by setting score.repeatCommands like so:

% Used when substituting a single bar or just a few notes to show alternative.

altBracket = #(define-music-function (parser location tag) (string?)

  #{ \set Score.repeatCommands = #(list (list 'volta (markup #:text tag))) #})

% End previous altBracket thingy.

altBracketEnd = { \set Score.repeatCommands = #'((volta #f)) }

And use it like:

... music

\altBracket "1."

music

\altBracket "2."

music

\altBracketEnd

This works, but the result looks a bit different from \repeat volta ... \alternative

I'd appreciate any hints on how to get the same font and bracket look as with \repeat volta.

Thanks,

Sven Axelsson
