Re: acciaccatura slash on beamed eighth notes

[Frédéric Chiasson]

Okay, I think I will do it manually for each case, since I really don't have any notion of Scheme programming.

Is there any comprehensive tutorial for beginners in Scheme somewhere on Internet?

Thanks for your answers,

Frédéric

Please always keep the discussion on the mailing list, for the
benefit of yourself since you get access to the collected
expertise on the list and for the benefit of others who experience
similar problems. Feel free to quote my answer below if you wish.

The offset is relative to the normal position of the text script.
The horizontal position shouldn't be a problem, but for the
vertical position, LilyPond tries to keep a minimum distance
both to the closest note head/stem and to the stave, so when
the beam falls within the stave you will need special treatment
for every beam position.

If you are willing to do some Scheme hacking, then the best
solution is probably to replace the standard print function
for Beam with one that internally calls the default function
and then adds the slash.
