Re: Difference between bracket-visibility and -stencil

[Urs Liska]

Hi Marc,

thanks for the thoughts.
Unfortunately it obviously works differently.
if it set

  #'transparent = ##t

then the TupletBrackets uses its space.
But with

  #'bracket-visibility = ##f

it doesn't.

And no, the TupletNumber doesn't need the TupletBracket at all.

But from this comparison I get the impression that

  #'bracket-visibility

is actually using

  #'stencil = ##f

If that's the case (any confirmation from a dev?) it would mean that setting the bracket-visibility to false is equivalent to setting the stencil to false.

Hi list,

can you tell me the difference between
\override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##f
and
\override TupletBracket #'stencil = ##f
?

AFAIK, the former makes the TupletBrackets invisible, but they are still
there and are taken into account by other objects, while the latter
removes the TupletBrackets completely, so they occupy no space at all.
But perhaps the TupletNumber engraver needs the position of the
TupletBrackets and reports an error when you remove the stencil? (Untested)

HTH,

Marc

I know that bracket-visibility is more flexible but if I just want to turn off the brackets both commands are equivalent, isn't it?

Best
Urs
