Re: weird error with \repeat tremolo

[N. Andrew Walsh]

Hi Aaron,

here's another example that causes the error:

\version "2.19.82"

\relative c'' {

  \time 4/16 

  gis'32[ e c a \repeat tremolo 8 { fis64] }

}

Again, it seems related to collisions between beams and tremolo glyphs. But here, the 32nd-notes should force the bottom beam low enough that there's room for them, yet for whatever reason it fails anyway.

Oh well. I guess I'll just force manual beaming as a workaround for now.

Thanks for the help,

A

I was so certain I had posted to the bug alias on this issue, but I
cannot find it.  It was a pretty big write up too, testing lots of
things.  But I am feeling like I must have dreamt it, since there's no
trace.  :-/

The issue doesn't seem to be precisely stem direction.  You can trigger
it with this:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{ a32 8..:32 }
%%%%

If you change the note to g, then it works.  Lower notes result in a
longer stem, which is why I had thought it might have something to do
with stem length.

But then I found that beam-thickness can affect things too:

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{ \override Beam.beam-thickness = #0.488934 a32 8..:32 }
%%%%

This fails, but change the thickness to #0.488935 or higher and it
works.

%%%%
\version "2.19.82"
{ \override StemTremolo.beam-thickness = #0.465801 a32 8..:32 }
%%%%

Again, this will fail, but *lower* the thickness to #0.465800 and it
works.
