Re: making all grobs breakable (for easier polymetric scores)

[Lukas-Fabian Moser]

Sorry for digging out this old thread:

 

\set Staff.barAlways = ##t
\set Staff.defaultBarType = ""

For me this only works when I replace Staff by Score. Is this to be expected?

Best

Is there any way to avoid this? I'd like to say, in effect, "during this passage, every (e.g.) eighth note should be considered a breakable point for the purposes of layout calculations".

\set Staff.barAlways = ##t
\set Staff.defaultBarType = ""

This sets a "" barline after every rhythmical event that occurs in the score (not only the current staff). You then need to set the “real” barlines by hand, something like:

\new Staff <<
  { \time 3/2 c''1 2 1 2 }
  \repeat unfold 2 { s1. \bar "|" }
>>

All notes would maintain their original duration (at least visually), all beaming would stay as expected, etc. — it would just allow breaking "everywhere". A command like

Hm … the solution from above breaks beaming because autobeaming never sets beams across barlines.

Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated — code that solves my problem, even more so!

The code above just inserts "" barlines; to allow breaking in the middle of sounding notes you’ll need

\remove Forbid_line_break_engraver

in the Voice context(s).
