Re: Can \markuplist prduce uneven width columns?

[Peter Toye]

Phil,

Thanks - I've just found that out. There's an unwelcome interaction between \table and \wordwrap in that the same property - baseline-skip - is used to control both the distance between the lines of wordwrapped text and the distance between the table rows. The defaults give horrible results. So I have to keep on adjusting the value of the property which is a pain :(

\version "2.19.52"

\language "english"

\markuplist {
  \override #'(line-width . 80)
  \override #'(padding . 5)
  \override #'(baseline-skip .  5)
  \table #'(-1 -1)
  {
    \wordwrap {Bar 27}
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
    \wordwrap {This text is hopelessly garbled in the sources, which are also mutually inconsistent.
               The editor has produced what he hopes is a performable version.}
    \wordwrap {Bar 29}
    \override #'(baseline-skip . 2)
    \wordwrap { "in tempo" aligned but probably best on 6/16 (in neither of the primary sources).
                On experiment this has been found to work best}
  }
}

Best regards,

Peter
