Re: Needing space after a user-defined ornament

[Alasdair McAndrew]

Hi Kieran,

Many thanks indeed - that works a treat!  How does one find out about these things?  I had tried just

- \tweak extra-spacing-width #'(2 . 3)

which hadn't worked.  Clearly I needed the extra space property of text.

Thanks again,

Alasdair

Hi Alasdair,

> Lilypond sometimes doesn't recognize this symbol as needing space, so depending on the spacing of the notes, this symbol can get very squashed.  How can I add extra horizontal spacing to my function?

ttr = #(define-event-function (placement) (pair?)
        #{
         -\tweak TextScript.extra-spacing-width #'(1 . 5)
         -\tweak extra-offset #placement
         -\markup { \fontsize #4 \musicglyph #"scripts.rcomma" }
#} )

??

Hope that helps!
Kieren.
