As far as I see this is not the problem. Footnotes appear to be simply stacked
by extent, not by baseline. This already creates issues with footnotes
extending over multiple lines, as the spacing between different footnotes will
be less than the spacing between different lines of footnotes.
Meanwhile we could easily get an acceptable behaviour (I suppose) by changing
from a equal baseline distance model to a model that aligns baselines to some
grid, such as this:
fns = \markuplist {
"Meter change."
"Chord stem."
"Bar line."
\justify { Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut eget
ante venenatis mi consectetur ornare. Cras facilisis dictum venenatis. }
"Key change."
}
\markup\column\fns
#(define (cumsum . x)
(define (impl init a . b)
(if (null? b)
(list (+ init a))
(cons (+ init a) (apply impl (cons (+ a init) b)))))
(apply impl (cons 0 x)))
\markup\vspace #3
#(define-markup-command (column-to-grid layout props ml) (markup-list?)
#:properties ((baseline-skip 3.5))
(let* ((iml (interpret-markup-list layout props ml))
(exts (map (lambda (s) (ly:stencil-extent s Y)) iml))
(under-bl-exts (map car exts))
(under-bl-grids (map (lambda (x) (* (1- (ceiling (/ x baseline-
skip))) baseline-skip)) under-bl-exts))
(grid-points (cons 0 (apply cumsum under-bl-grids)))
(moved-iml (map (lambda (stc amt) (ly:stencil-translate-axis stc amt
Y)) iml grid-points)))
(display under-bl-exts)
(apply ly:stencil-add moved-iml)))
\markup\column-to-grid\fns
\markup\vspace #3
\markup\override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5) \column-to-grid\fns
Maybe it would be useful to be able to override the formatting of the footnote
block, similar to how we have toItemMarkup. We could allow the user to format
footnotes using some footnoteMarkup callback?
Cheers,
Valentin
