Re: Horizontally centered notes

[Caio Barros]

It's not optimal, since I have to judge the "centralization" by eye, but at least I can get a satisfactory output.

Well, now that I tried another example with 5 notes that method didn't work. The solution was to use \override NoteColumn.X-offset. It is a bit strange that there is no method (that I know of) to write centralized notes, since it is a relatively common thing in 18th century engravings. See, for instance this engraving of Beethoven's String Quartet N. 1 attached.

music = \relative {
    \override NoteColumn.X-offset = #'8.3
  c'2 d e f g
}

\score {
    \new Staff {
      \time 5/2
      \clef "baritone^8" \music
    }
  \layout{
    \context {
      \Score
      \omit Clef
      \omit ClefModifier
      \omit Stem
      \omit TimeSignature
      \omit BarLine
      \override StaffSymbol.line-positions = #'(-2 0)
    }
    ragged-last = ##f
  }
}
