t-lilypond, placement of oversized lines.
Greetings all, In tinkering around with the lilypond module, oversized lines of notation do not get adjusted into the left margin as this bit of code seems to be trying to achieve: ---> %D %D TODO: Get the relevant dimension directly from lilypond, %D to place the instrument name into the left margin for %D short snippets as well. %D If we are not in the middle of some text, we have to check %D whether lilypond created an image that is wider than requested: %D It places the instrument names in the left margin. %D \ifvmode \getfiguredimensions[\lily!filename.pdf]% \leavevmode% \newdimen\FigWidth \FigWidth=\figurewidth \ifdim\FigWidth>\localhsize \!!dimena=\localhsize \advance\!!dimena by-\FigWidth \noindent\hskip\!!dimena \fi \fi \externalfigure[\lily!img]% \egroup% }% <--- This includes lines which have an instrument name, as mentioned in the comments, and also includes piano notation, which has a special bracket on the left joining the two staffs. Can anyone help me out here? Best, David

No, I can't help, but I may have bad news for you: I played some with the lilypond module myself and found out that lilypond itself may be the culprit. lilypond can produce eps figures; that's the only way the output is cropped to just the figure and doesn't produce an entire page. Unfortunately, in my experiments, the bounding box which lilypond uses is always a bit too small, the elements you describe are always cut off at the left margin. You can try that by creating a standalone .ly file and running lilypond with the --backend=eps option on it, and you'll see the effect. I have tried with a number of options to modify this behavior of lilypond, but haven't had any success. Since lilypond is pretty broken on Os X 10.5 at the moment, I have given up for the time being.
