Re: override default bar width for only one bar

Ryan,

You are almost there. Have a look at the previous section in the manual that Pierre pointed you to called "New Spacing Area". The second example there does basically what you are trying to do. You'll just need to play around with the spacing-increment values to get the desired increase in space for the one measure.

HTH,

Abraham

Sorry All, I was using confusing language describing what I was doing Basically I would like to overset the horizontal spacing as Pierre suggests. This is the sketch of the fashion in which I would like to overwrite the horizontal spacing

     \score {

  \relative c'' {

    g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 d e f | g4 g g2 |

    g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 e g g | c,1 |

    \once     \override SpacingSpanner.base-shortest-duration = #(ly:make-moment 1/16)

    d4 d d d |

    %somehow resume to normal spacing%

    d4 e f2 | e4 e e e | e4 f g2 |

    g4 e e2 | f4 d d2 | c4 e g g | c,1 |

  }

  \layout {

    \context {

      \Score

  

    }

  }

}

basically for a single measure, to set the spacing to be much much larger than default, and then, in the following measure, reset to default. 

Thank you all!

Hi Ryan,

Which version are you using? How about a tiny example?

For v2.18, horizontal spacing see: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/horizontal-spacing-overview

E.g.: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/changing-horizontal-spacing

Cheers,

Pierre

Hello ,
I would like the current bar width of my piece to be 3 x the current bar width for only one measure? I imagine i use an \override but can't think of what else I would do to accomplish this task. Thanks!

Ryan.
