Re: Is there a way to force a bar to have a smaller width?

Steven,

You could create a new spacing section.  This is described in the Notation Reference section 4.6, horizontal spacing.  Replace the \glissando instruction with something like this and adjust by moving more time before the \newSpacingSection command:

\glissando s32 \newSpacingSection s2

HTH.

I’m writing some harp glissandos, where the first several notes of the gliss are written out for accidentals, then the rest of the measure is just the wavy gliss line to the next note.  I’ve got it looking right, except there’s way too much empty space at the end of the measure.

 

\version "2.11.49"

\include "English.ly"

\score

{

                \new Staff

                {

                                \time 3/4

                                \clef bass

                                \override Glissando #'style = #'zigzag

                                as,32[ bf, cs df e ff \set stemRightBeamCount = #3 gs] \glissando s32*17 |

                                e'4 r r |

                }

}

 

I’m sure it’s the s32*17 that’s causing the problem, but I’m not sure what to do to tell Lilypond to only take up 1 (or 2) additional 32’s worth of space.  Any hints?

 

Thanks!
