Subject: strange octavation
behaviour
hi,
consider the following snippet:
--------
\version "2.17.20"
\new PianoStaff <<
\new Staff
\relative c'''' {
\ottava #1 <g c e>4.\arpeggio b8 a4 f
\ottava #0 |
R1
\ottava #1 <g c
e>4.\arpeggio b8 a4 f \ottava #0 |
}
\new Staff
\relative c'' {
\set PianoStaff.connectArpeggios =
##t
\ottava #1 <e g c>2\arpeggio \ottava #0 r2
|
R1
\ottava #1 <e g c>2\arpeggio r
\ottava #0 |
}
>>
--------
when compiled, it produces the output in the attached PNG.
the first bar is the correct notation (i.e. the ottava bracket should
stop before the rest), but the ottava bracket is pushed into the arpeggio and
ends directly after the half note. in the third bar, the ottava bracket starts
in the correct place, but is somewhat too long. (actually i think it's too
short -- shouldn't the octavation spanner go as far as the note/rest
_sounds_?).
setting minimum-length just exacerbates the problem in the first bar by
shifting the "8va" further to the left…
ideal behaviour:
- ottava brackets should be vertically aligned
- ottava brackets should be as long as the duration of the note[s]
is there any way to magically create this behaviour?
thanks, regards,
sb
