Braces on complex neumes

[olivierberten]

There's some cheating happening in the braces example: what looks like a torculus resupinus is actually a punctum sticked to a porrectus... because braces wouldn't work with the actual neume...

I realised this as I was trying to make it work on my own and having it shifted from the beginning of the last "punctum".

I don't know whether there is any point in making it actually work but at least the examples should show real uses of braces (like this one from the Liber Usualis, for instance)

Fixing the examples is the easiest part. See gregorio-project/gregorio-poroject.github.io#15

I'll leave it up to others to decide if there's a bug that warrants fixing here.

@olivierberten can you give us a gabc code that doesn't do what it's supposed to?

[olivierberten]

You can use the examples from http://gregorio-project.github.io/gabc/details.html#braces without the !

g[ob:1;6mm]hgh for instance.

And by the way, u (brace under the staff) works only with round braces.

I don't think there was ever an intent to support under-curly-braces.

[rpspringuel]

Then I better fix the website, as I didn't understand that when I wrote the instructions.

[henryso]

So the big question. Is this a bug? If it is a bug, it's an old one and looks complicated enough that it probably shouldn't be 4.0.

[olivierberten]

Well... let's talk about it when Gregorio is able to typeset this page ;-)

[eroux]

I think most of the difficulty in this page comes from the alignment of text, but thanks for the example, I've added it in #374. Anyway, AFAICT, Gregorio can typeset the braces of this example, even better than the original (in which they are a bit off on the second and third line), so I don't think it's really relevant... @olivierberten Is there any real-life use case that Gregorio doesn't handle?

[olivierberten]

It's actually what I meant: Gregorio does a good job with braces with actual use cases. There are other priorities before "fixing" a feature maybe nobody's using...

[henryso]

Is this issue solved by neume fusion, which should allow placing braces anywhere in a fused neume?

[eroux]

I think so, please reopen if problem remains
