Hoofdstuk 4: Tweaking output 121

% This will not work, see below
\override MetronomeMark.padding = #3
\tempo 4 = 120

% This works
\override Score.MetronomeMark.padding = #3
\tempo 4 = 80

Note in the second example how important it is to figure out what context handles a certain
object. Since the MetronomeMark object is handled in the Score context, property changes in
the Voice context will not be noticed. For more details, see Sectie “Modifying properties” in
Notatie-handleiding.
If the padding property of an object is increased when that object is in a stack of objects
being positioned according to their outside-staff-priority, then that object and all objects
outside it are moved.
The right-padding property
The right-padding property affects the spacing between the accidental and the note to which
it applies. It is not often required, but the default spacing may be wrong for certain special
accidental glyphs or combination of glyphs used in some microtonal music. These have to be
entered by overriding the accidental stencil with a markup containing the desired symbol(s), like
this:
sesquisharp = \markup { \sesquisharp }
\relative c'' {
c4
% This prints a sesquisharp but the spacing is too small
\once \override Accidental.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Accidental.text = #sesquisharp
cis4 c
% This improves the spacing
\once \override Score.AccidentalPlacement.right-padding = #0.6
\once \override Accidental.stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\once \override Accidental.text = #sesquisharp
