Got two more small issues from Bartók. I’m trying to recreate things like this:
In the example on the left, he is using the bracket to make it clear that the B♭ and B♮ are played simultaneously with two different fingers.
In the example on the right
I’ve got a minimum example that comes very close to what I need, but
\version "2.19.83"
\score {
<<
\new Staff \relative c' {
\key c \major
<<
{
\once \override NoteColumn.force-hshift = #2.5
b'!16[ cis16 d8] d4
}
\\
{
\override Fingering.staff-padding = #'()
\once \override Fingering.extra-offset = #'(1.3 . 0) bes2^\finger \markup "⎴"^\finger "1"^\finger "2"
}
>>
r2 |
\set fingeringOrientations = #'(left)
\once \override Fingering.extra-offset = #'(3 . 0.5)
\stemUp <fes' ges c \finger "1[" d>8
}
>>
\layout { }
}
This yields the following, which is almost right:
So here are the questions:
1. For the horizontal bracket it’s too narrow because I’m using a Unicode box character to generate the bracket. Is there a better alternative that will scale properly to encompass the notes?
2. The natural sign is stuck on the wrong side of the B♭. I’ve searched for a while, but I don’t find anything to tell me how to make the natural stick with its note. What do I do here?
3. Is there a better alternative for the bracket in the right example? I had to manually tweak it a bit to get it to look almost, but it still isn’t optimal. I know I could use more complex markup objects to adjust it, but I’m wondering if there is a better way to do this
