Re: Changing thickness of ParenthesesItem

[tisimst]

Harm,

The parentheses are static glyphs from the music font, so there's no way that I know of to simply make it bolder (i.e., there's no bold version of emmentaler). You might be able to change this by setting the font-encoding to latin1 and using another font for the parentheses that has a bold variant, but that's the best I can think of right now. Not sure how to do this in a \tweak, though. Anyone else?

HTH,

Abraham

Hi all,

maybe I'm too tired, though, is there no better way to change the
thickness of a ParenthesesItem, than scaling their stencils?

\version "2.19.13"

paren-thick =
#(define-music-function (parser location x music)(number? ly:music?)
#{
  \tweak ParenthesesItem.stencils
  #(lambda (grob)
      (map
        (lambda (stil) (ly:stencil-scale stil x 1))
        (parentheses-item::calc-parenthesis-stencils grob)))
  $music
#})

{
  <
   b''
   \paren-thick #3 \parenthesize b'
   b
  >4
}
