I like a tiny space, though, even it is so rare in your examples. But there could be another example in the snippets just demonstrating the moving of the bracket without the space.With some trial and error I managed in the D.5.1 ancient music template to move the SystemStartBracket (using #'extra-offset) towards the end of the incipit so that it is placed at the beginning of the modern notation. Attached an image. I'm sure with \startStaff and \stopStaff I can tweak the looks of the incipit even more to my liking.Do you mean putting a space between incipit and real score? At first I thought that would be a good idea but later I realized that's not what most of today's editions do (if this is of any interest...) I put together some incipit examples of common editions together, just if anybody is interested: http://www.slapeta.com/files/incipit_samples.pdf I am also thinking about adding more than the first note to each line in the incipit, this also seems to be common. I guess it is all about hacks so far, unless you program a solution ;-)But the placing of the SystemStartBracket is tricky, because the layout of the first system might change, and then the bracket would print in a wrong place.So that's some kind of hack as well :-) Yes, see the snippet repository https://lsr.dsi.unimi.it/list.php?type=snippet for a working example.Another aproach (recenly but also earlier mentioned in mailing list) would be embed \score inside instrumentName, but then the vertical alignment is a bit tricky, dependend on extent of lyrics in the incipit, etc.Yes. The best solution so far (for this approach) is assigning the text directly to notes (via _"...") because it ties these two things together very tightly, which makes the vertical displacement of the incipit very small. For me, that's something I can live with. However, if somebody wants to produce a professional score... In the examples, again, there are only two or three that actually add the text. When thinking what is the meaning of an incipit this seems quite reasonable: it should only tell the original key, modus, reduction of the transcription and keys used in the original. One example obviously tries to imitate the look of the (obviously printed) orginal score (namely the last one on page 10) and puts the whole word as lyrics, not only one sylable. This even more would justify the use of a markup instead of lyrics. Did you try playing with some offsets? This is only an issue with the "one score" example, if you use the markup method you can have different lengths.And there is one more annoying issue: at the moment, every incipit staff must have the same duration so that you have to insert useless skip sequences for padding of shorter durations. This is firstly very time-consuming and secondly hard to understand for somebody who is new to this tool. Greetings Till |
