Re: Fragment with broken/torn/shredded staff lines

Piero,

I'll have more time to tweak the snippet a little
later, but I'll suggest some quick-and-dirty fixes
that may or may not work.

For the white boxes (no need to add an image, I 
understand the problem), if you know the exact rgb
color of your background, you could substitute
that for white in the following line in the
tearGeneric definition (quick-and-dirty for sure).

eg. change...
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0) \with-color #white
...to...
\override #'(baseline-skip . 0) 
  \with-color #(rgb-color 249/256 167/256 176/256)

Perhaps a proper solution could work by temporarily 
making the staff transparent, and then drawing black
lines instead of white boxes. That'll have to wait
till later. But it should be doable.


> 3. I tried to use your \tear in some double staff...

In tearGeneric, try substituting all 4 instances of
Staff.BarLine with Score.BarLine . Another quick-
and-dirty fix. It should work, the only drawback is
that all staves subjected to the tear at that moment
would have the same "random" tear-pattern. I probably
should have used Score.BarLine anyway. I guess it's
still a work in progress.

Hope this helps.

Well, thank you too. A month ago I finished typesetting
100 dissertation examples with LilyPond, so I suppose I'm
sympathetic to your situation!
