Re: Spacing Priority

[Stephan Elliot Perez]

Excuse me again! A tuplet bracket is colliding with the numbers from nested tuplets, so I want to move it away from the staff, I have tried

\override TupletBracket #'outside-staff-priority = ##f  \override TupletBracket #'outside-staff-padding = #7

as well as the \tweak variants (due to the nesting), but nothing happens.  Why is this?

      I am trying to change the spacing priority of either \markup obects
or pedal markings (\sustainOn and \sustainOff ) so that the latter will be
displayed closer to the staff than the former.  I have tried lowering the
priority number of \markup with

\override TextScript #'outside-staff-priority = #500

as well as raising that of the pedal markings with

\override  Staff.SostenutoPedal #'outside-staff-priority = #300

but neither works.  What am I missing?

The correct layout object for sostenuto pedal is
SostenutoPedalLineSpanner in the Staff context.  Its
default value for outside-staff-priority is 1000.

The default value for TextScript is 450, so this will
either have to be increased to >1000 or that for
SostenutoPedalLineSpanner decreased to <450 to achieve
the placing you want.  Which you choose depends on
what placing you want relative to other objects.

SostenutoPedal and SustainPedal are two different objects. If you want to change the outside staff priority of the sustain pedal, setting the Staff.SostenutoPedal outside staff priority won't help.
