REMARK : the mention ``(NOT to be changed)'' does not mean that this parameter cannot
be changed, but that it should not be modified directly, e.g. by saying
something like normalshapemediumseries\interligne=14pt. In other words, changing these
parameters must be performed using more comprehensive macros which not only
update them but also perform some other compulsory related changes.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interligne :
- vertical interval between lines in a staff of
the current instrument, taking account of a possible specification of
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffspacingr
(see )
(NOT to be changed)
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\Interligne :
- vertical distance between the base of staff
lines of the current instrument, taking account of a possible specification
of
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffspacingr (
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interligne is the size of the blank
space between lines; the difference between them is the line thickness
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\lthick) (NOT to be changed).
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\internote :
- the vertical spacing of contiguous notes of
the current instrument, taking account of a possible specification of
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffspacingr, i.e. the half of normalshapemediumseries\Interligne (NOT to be changed)
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\Internote :
- the vertical spacing of contiguous notes of
the instrument(s) whose
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffspacingr has the default
value of one (1.0). Since this dimension is the same, regardless of the
actual value of the staff line spacing of any instrument, only this value
should be used to specify horizontal spacings. It should be used rather than
absolute dimensions in
pt
or mm
, since \Internote
is
duly proportional to the general size (
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\musicsize) but not
dependent on specific changes in
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffspacingr (NOT to be changed)
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\nullthick :
- reserved height above base line for zero staff
lines (text of songs)
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\staffbotmarg :
- margin below the first staff of the lowest
instrument. If not already assigned a non zero dimension, it is set to
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\bottomfacteur
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\Interligne at the next system.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\stafftopmarg :
- margin above the upper staff of the upper
instrument.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interbeam :
- vertical distance between beams.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interportee :
- the distance between the bottom of one staff and
the bottom of the next one. It is set to
2
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interfacteurnormalshapemediumseries\internote at the next system.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\Interportee :
- the distance between the top of one staff
and the bottom of the next one. Re-computed at the at the next system.
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interinstrument :
- the additional vertical distance between
two different instruments. This means that the distance between the upper
staff of the previous instrument and the lowest line of the current
instrument is equal to
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interportee+normalshapemediumseries\interinstrument.
This value is normally zero, but it helps putting additional space between
distinct instruments for the sake of clarity. This is a general dimension
which holds for each of the vertical spaces between instruments, except the
upper one, in which case this interval is irrelevant. However, this parameter
can be overridden for the space above a specific instrument. For example (see
the example normalshapemediumseriesangescao.tex) one can state:
\def\interinstrumenti{5pt}
to force an additional spacing of 5 points above instrument i,
whatever the value of
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\interinstrument.
This feature can usefully be used to have more space before instruments
representing voices, in order to have enough place to put
lyrics without assigning these lyrics a zero staff specific instrument
(useful to avoid having too many declared insruments in a choir score).
-
normalshapemediumseriesnormalshapemediumseries\systemheight :
- the distance from the bottom of the
lowest staff to the top of the highest staff of the upper instrument. This is
the height of the vertical bars (single, double, repeats, etc.) (NOT to be changed).
In addition, when handling notes of a given staff of a given instrument, the
following dimensions are available (note these are not true registers, but
equivalenced symbols through a normalshapemediumseries\def):
