Re: Sustain pedal cautionary after line break

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Hi Caio,

Here's a possible workaround:

\version "2.19.35"

\relative c'' {
  \set Staff.pedalSustainStyle = #'mixed
  c1\sustainOn \break
  c1 c1\sustainOff
}

sustOn =
#(define-event-function (parser location)()
    #{
      \tweak bound-details.left.text \markup\concat { \musicglyph #"pedal.Ped" ". " }
      %\tweak bound-details.left-broken.text \markup\concat { \musicglyph #"pedal.Ped" ". " }
      %%% Optional:
      \tweak bound-details.left-broken.text
        \markup\concat { \normal-text "(" \musicglyph #"pedal.Ped" \normal-text ".) " }
      \tweak style #'line
      \tweak bound-details.left.stencil-align-dir-y #-1
      \tweak bound-details.left.padding -2
      \tweak bound-details.left-broken.attach-dir -1
      \tweak bound-details.left-broken.padding 4
      \tweak bound-details.right-broken.padding 0
      \tweak bound-details.right.attach-dir -1
      \tweak bound-details.right-broken.text ##f
      \tweak bound-details.right.text
        \markup
        \with-dimensions #'(0 . 0) #'(-.3 . 0)
        \draw-line #'(0 . 1)
      \tweak padding #1
      \tweak direction #-1
      \startTextSpan
   #})

sustOff = \stopTextSpan

%% TEST:
\relative c'' {
  c1\sustOn \break
  c1 c1\sustOff
}

Cheers,

Pierre

Hi Caio,

> I would like to add a cautionary indication that the sustain pedal should remain pressed after a line break, so in the code below ideally there would be a (Ped.) in the second line. Any suggestions?

1. Wait for the feature to be implemented — it’s being discussed/considered at the moment.

2. Add a markup. (This is what I do right now.) It’s awkward, and fragile (i.e., if the layout changes, you need to move the markup manually), but it works.

Hope this helps!
Kieren.
