Hello Kieren,
Quoting Kieren MacMillan <address@hidden>:
Hi Pavel,
Wouldn't it be easier to just override the first clef to have both
clef glyphs?
The problem is that the amount of the horizontal space between clefs
depends on the key signature and (to a lesser degree) on the time
signature. The time signature is essentially the last item before the
notes (the cue clef should not be there or it would be a different
problem, and custos only goes to the end of the line unless we choose
to misuse it).
I can set the distance between the time signature and the change clef
to 1.2 and it would look reasonable with any key signature. But if I
attach the change clef to the staff clef, the distance would need to
be tweaked. If we try to do it automatically, we would need to know
the position of the time signature, and then I cannot imagine how it
would simplify things.
I hoped maybe there is a way to insert a glyph into the beginning of
any measure. A rest with overridden stencil and spacing tweaks would
do the trick, but it would need a separate voice, which is somewhat
intrusive.
Thanks for your input anyway!
