RE: Adding a brace or bracket to indicate an organ manual change

[Joseph N. Srednicki]

Hello:

 

Thanks for the previous help from Guy, Pierre, and David, but I found some glitches. See the example below.

 

In measure 2, the brace hits against the barline. I tried using hshift, but was unsuccessful. In measure 2, the position of the rest seems to mess things up.

 

In these situations, what technique is recommended to avoid these collisions in measures 2 and 3? Again, please feel free to point me to the documentation that I may have missed.

 

 

\version "2.19.54"

#(define-markup-command (openBracket layout props height) (number?)

  (interpret-markup layout props

    (markup #:line (#:with-dimensions (cons 3 0) (cons 0 0)

      (#:path 0.25

        (list (list (quote moveto) 0 0)

        (list (quote lineto) -1 0)

        (list (quote lineto) -1 (* height -1))

        (list (quote lineto) 0 (* height -1))))))))

 

\new PianoStaff <<

  \new Staff \relative c'' {

    \time 2/4

    a^\markup { SW }^\markup\openBracket #20 c'

 

    a^\markup { GT }^\markup\openBracket #19 a

 

    R2^\markup { SW }^\markup\openBracket #19

 

  }

  \new Staff {

    \clef F  c'4 c' |  c c | a a}

>> 

 

Thanks again.

God I love the Frescobaldi/Lilypond community!

Pierre, just playing around with values in snippet 957 I discovered the two changes to get you what asked for:

<code>
#(define-markup-command (openBracket layout props height) (number?)
  (interpret-markup layout props
    (markup #:line (#:with-dimensions (cons 3 0) (cons 0 0) % Change here to 3 puts bracket hook above SW
      (#:path 0.25
        (list (list (quote moveto) 0 0)
        (list (quote lineto) -1 0)
        (list (quote lineto) -1 (* height -1))
        (list (quote lineto) 0 (* height -1))))))))

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff \relative c'' {
    a^\markup { SW }^\markup\openBracket #20 % Change here to get lower bracket hook below staff
    c'
  }
  \new Staff { \clef F c' c' }
>>
</code>

I take these little gifts and make my own useful lilypond snippets folders for future easy reference.

You people are brilliant. Simply amazing. Thanks.

Regards.

Hi Joe,

There are two snippets in the LSR that could help you:
- http://lsr.di.unimi.it/LSR/Item?id=466

HTH, cheers,

Hello:

 

May I ask advice on how to insert a brace or bracket in a score to indicate an organ-manual change?

 

Please see the image that I have inserted. (I am using Outlook, which places the image in the message. If you are using another email application, I hope that the image comes through as an attachment.)

 

If the documentation explains how to do this, please send me the link. My searching did not come up with anything.

 

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Joe Srednicki
