Re: advanced (?) instrumentname setting

[Gagi Petrovic]

oops, misclicked on "send". Sorry.

I'm looking for something like this, where the "-------" are the three lines of my percussive staff:

e.  ------------  

m. ------------ 

c.  ------------

This is quite common in percussive notation, that's why I find it odd I can't seem to find a way of doing this. Should be very simple, I'd think.

And about the rest you are somewhat right Phil, but I think adding the horizontal line on top of the rest enhances the clearity and readability: in that way it cannot be mistaken by a half rest where the rectangle lies on top of a horizonal line (instead of hanging from it).

Cheers, Gagi

Oh sorry, I didn't mean barline, but staffline. For example: I want the upper line of the staff to represent the edge, etc. 

e. -----------

m.

You can centre text above a bar line using a rehearsal mark; see http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.15/Documentation/notation/bars#rehearsal-marks

 

As to the issue with the rest: it seems to me that lilypond is doing the right thing here: a rest _is_ just the rectangle: the line comes from a ledger line.  Removing some of the lines from the score prevents this appearance from happening.

Yes, thank you Hans. I did 

  \override MultiMeasureRest #'staff-position = #-0.05

This looks pretty good and it will do. Although I still feel as if the correct positioning (with a small horizontal line) will look more logical and elegant. 

But I remain with my main issue:

- How do I add text which is aligned with certain barlines? This is quite common for  percussion notation to indicate which line represents which (part of an) instrument. In my case: which part of a gong to strike (center, mid or edge).  

 

Anyone got a clue where to start looking? I don't mind doing some research: just can't seem to find a starting point. Thank you and all the best,

Gagi
