Hi all,
I'm interested in changing the horizontal position of dots on dotted
notes. So far I've only been able to make this happen by overriding
Dots.extra-offset. That's fine and it will work for me, but it bypasses
the layout/spacing engine, and I'd rather not do that if there is
another way that I'm missing. Here's what I've tried:
\version "2.19.42"
{
\time 3/4
c'4.
\once \override Dots.X-offset = #1
c'4.
\once \override DotColumn.X-offset = #1
c'4.
\once \override DotColumn.extra-offset = #'(1 . 0)
c'4.
% extra-offset moves the dot away from the stem,
% but it bypasses layout/spacing engine...
\once \override Dots.extra-offset = #'(2 . 0)
c'4.
}
The use case is custom double stems that are wider (used in Clairnote
notation, see http://clairnote.org). See attached image. It looks like
LilyPond does not adjust the position of the dots based on the width of
the stem (neither from its stencil nor its X-extent).
\version "2.19.42"
{
\time 3/4
c'4.
% dot position is not affected by stem X-extent
\once \override Stem.X-extent = #'(-10 . 10)
c'4.
% thickness increases to the left, not the right
% so doesn't affect dot position, can't be used as test case
\once \override Stem.thickness = #10
c'4.
% extreme scaling of the stem stencil, no change in dot position
\once \override Stem.stencil =
#(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:stem::print grob) 10 1))
c'4.
% putting it together
\once \override Stem.stencil =
#(lambda (grob) (ly:stencil-scale (ly:stem::print grob) 10 1))
\once \override Dots.extra-offset = #'(0.5 . 0)
c'4.
}
Thanks for any tips,
