Staff notation 142
Tick bar lines
’Tick’ bar lines are often used in music where the bar line is used only for coordination and is
not meant to imply any rhythmic stress.
\relative c' {
\set Score.defaultBarType = #"'"
c4 d e f
g4 f e d
c4 d e f
g4 f e d
\bar "|."
}
Time signature in parentheses - method 3
Another way to put the time signature in parenthesis
\relative c'' {
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
(parenthesize-stencil (ly:time-signature::print grob) 0.1 0.4 0.4 0.1 ))
\time 2/4
a4 b8 c
}

Time signature in parentheses
The time signature can be enclosed within parentheses.
\relative c'' {
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #(lambda (grob)
(bracketify-stencil (ly:time-signature::print grob) Y 0.1 0.2 0.1))
\time 2/4
a4 b8 c
}

Tweaking clef properties
The command \clef "treble_8" is equivalent to setting clefGlyph, clefPosition (which
controls the vertical position of the clef), middleCPosition and clefOctavation. A clef is
printed when any of the properties except middleCPosition are changed.
Note that changing the glyph, the position of the clef, or the octavation does not in itself
change the position of subsequent notes on the staff: the position of middle C must also be
specified to do this. The positional parameters are relative to the staff center line, positive
