RE: MetronomeMark aligned to accidentals

[Daniel Rosen]

Well, yes, that is one option, but it’s not one I love for two reasons: 1) it’s kludgy, and 2) I think that maybe LilyPond should do what I’m describing by default. The current default output looks very odd to me (although it could be just me).

Consider the following example:

\version "2.19.3"
{
  R1 |
  \tempo "Tempo"
  <as' bes'>
}

I would like the MetronomeMark to be aligned with the left edge of the leftmost Accidental (almost with the BarLine, but not quite). I've been trying to manipulate the Score.MetronomeMark.non-break-align-symbols property, but to no avail (I'm not sure I quite understand how that property works; it's a little unclear to me in the IR). Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

I'm not sure I can help in detail...

For one shot :

\version "2.19.3"

{

R1 |

\tweak X-offset #-2.5 \tempo "Tempo"

<as' bes'>

}

 % or

{

R1 |

\once\override Score.MetronomeMark.self-alignment-X = #-0.3

\tempo "Tempo"

<as' bes'>

}

 

HTH,
