Re: Measure Number Collision

[Marc Shepherd]

Here is a minimal example showing this behavior:

\version "2.20.0"

\layout {
  \context {
    \name MarkLine
    \type Engraver_group
    \consists Output_property_engraver
    \consists Axis_group_engraver
    \consists Mark_engraver
    \consists Metronome_mark_engraver
    \override VerticalAxisGroup.staff-staff-spacing =
    #'((basic-distance . 1)
       (minimum-distance . 1)
       (padding . 1)
       (stretchability . 3))
  }
  \context {
    \Score
    \remove Mark_engraver
    \remove Metronome_mark_engraver
    \accepts MarkLine
  }
}

\score {
  <<
  \new MarkLine { \time 4/4
    s1*7
    \mark \default
    s1*7
  }
  \new StaffGroup {
    <<
    \override StaffGroup.SystemStartBracket.collapse-height = #4
    \new Staff {
      \key f \major \relative c' {
        \repeat unfold 56 { c4 }
      }
    }
    >>
  }
  >>
}

But in fact there is no collision: the 85 would be just fine in its normal position. This occurs only where a rehearsal letter coincides with the first bar of a system.

Hi Marc,

Could you provide a minimal example of code showing this behavior?

Or at least provide the version number you are using?

I guess it should give better results with versions later (or equal to) 2.21.0, where issue 5621 has been fixed.

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/5621

Otherwise I consider this collision between bar number and bracket a new bug (to be reported).

Cheers,

Xavier
