Re: frameEngraver repeats not aligned

[address@hidden]

Thanks David,

Changing the stem direction does the trick. I’d love to have a version of frameEngraver that would work with multiple staves. Maybe others would like this for score analysis, too? frameEngraver is such an important part of my work with lilypond right now; I’d hate to see it abandoned. If there’s ever an opportunity for further development, count me in as a sponsor.

Hello all,
I’m using frameEngraver for a harp part and the repeat signs are not aligned. The problem appears when I use compoundMeter. Below is a minimal example that demonstrates the issue. It requires "frameEngraver-bars-and-boxes.ily” which I’ve attached.

I’ve moved the frameStart, frameEnd, frameExtenderEnd into each voice. I’ve also tried eliminating the common timing variable and specifying time signatures within each voice. The results are the same. A similar misalignment occurs with frame boxes instead of repeats. Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,

The width of the frames vary because one note is upstem and the other is downstem, meaning one extends past the other.  (You can see the nice alignment which happens when you change both to the same direction.)

All would be well if the bounds were paper columns (and probably if this is ever to work properly with horizontal spacing they should be new paper columns, created just for the frames)..

Sorry, I don't have a good solution.  And I've all but given up working on this, because of long-standing problems which I can't resolve on my own.

One of which is getting it to work with multiple staves--which would be good with your example!

Anyway, I suppose you could hack an invisible stem up note.  Hate to suggest that, but it just might work...
