Re: how to whiteout an ottava bracket

[Pierre Perol-Schneider]

Yes you can... probably.

Anyway, it's not the finest idea. Please consider the following code:

\version "2.18.2"
rD = { \change Staff = right \stemDown }
lU = { \change Staff = left \stemUp }
right = \relative b'''' {
  \ottava 2 b8 \lU
  \once\override Stem.layer = 1
  \once\override Stem.color = #red
  a, \rD b' \lU g, \rD b' \lU f, \rD b' \lU e,,
}
left = {
  %\override Staff.OttavaBracket.layer = #2
  \ottava #1
  %\set Staff.ottavation = \markup{ \whiteout \pad-markup #0.2 "8va" }
  $(skip-of-length right) 
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff
  <<
    \new Staff= "right" { \right }
    \new Staff = "left" { \left } >>  
}

As you can see, a stem whiteout would also affect staff and beam.

Cheers,

Pierre

Dear Pierre,

thanks for Your answer. Can I also achieve  the opposite? Can the stem whiteout the ottava-bracket?

Hi Stefan,

How about:

\version "2.18.2"
rD = { \change Staff = right \stemDown }
lU = { \change Staff = left \stemUp }
right = \relative b'''' {
  \ottava 2 b8 \lU a, \rD b' \lU g, \rD b' \lU f, \rD b' \lU e,,
}
left = {
  \override Staff.OttavaBracket.layer = #2
  \ottava #1
  \set Staff.ottavation = \markup{ \whiteout \pad-markup #0.2 "8va" }
  $(skip-of-length right) 
}
\score {
\new PianoStaff
        <<
        \new Staff= "right" { \right }
           \new Staff = "left" { \left} >>  
}

Cheers,

Pierre

Dear community,

I tried to whiteout an ottava bracket, but without success. Does someone know, how to do this?

Thanks for Your help!

\version "2.18.2"
rD = { \change Staff = right \stemDown }
lU = { \change Staff = left \stemUp }
right = \relative b'''' {
  \override Stem.whiteout = ##t
  \override Stem.layer = #-1
  \ottava 2 b8 \lU a, \rD b' \lU g, \rD b' \lU f, \rD b' \lU e,,
}
left = {
  \override Staff.OttavaBracket.layer = #-2
  \ottava #1 $(skip-of-length right)  }
\score {
\new PianoStaff 
        <<
        \new Staff= "right" { \right }
           \new Staff = "left" { \left} >>   
}
