Re: forced \break or \pageBreak with ragged-right

[Michael Winter]

Thanks,

I thought about something like that but I have tied notes that would be interrupted by that approach. Which is also why I cannot use multiple single scores.

It also seems like trying to fit a square peg in a round whole. Again, I think there should be a way to have ragged-right for a single system after a \break or \pageBreak. That is the correct solution.

Perhaps I should note that another solution for me would be to have ragged-right = ##t if it were actually possible to have proportional notation where every beat is EXACTLY the same horizontal space. But that really just does not seem to be possible. No matter what, I have measures of the same time signature that are not the same length and thus break at different spots when ragged-right = ##t for (for example, two 4/4 systems where one automatically breaks after 4 measures and the other after 3 with minimal-breaking on).

Best,

Michael

How about:

\version "2.20.0"

{

  \repeat unfold 20 s1 \bar "||"

  \stopStaff s1 \bar ""\break

  \startStaff

  \set Score.currentBarNumber = 21

  \repeat unfold 20 s1

}

\layout {

  system-count = 8

}

Otherwise you can do two single scores.

HTH, cheers,

Thanks Pierre,

ragged-last only works on the last system of the score. I would like to have a specific system within a score have a ragged-right even if it is not the last system in the score. 

I can imagine that this should be able to be done after a forced \break or \pageBreak.

Thanks,

Michael

Hi Michael,

try:

ragged-last = ##t

Cheers

Hello,

Is it possible to have ragged-right = ##f but then allow a single system to be ragged-right after a forced \break or \pageBreak?

Any help on how to do this will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Michael
