Re: consistent height for \rightHandFinger marks

[John Asmuth]

Thanks for the reply. Here's a stand-alone file that demonstrates what I see.

I'd like each arrow to be at the same vertical position.

Hi John,

1. Providing complete code that compiles will encourage more and better responses from other list users.

2. When I use this code:

\version "2.25.2"

strokeUp = \markup\combine\override #'(thickness . 1.3) \draw-line #'(0 . 2)\raise #2 \arrow-head #Y #UP ##f
strokeDown = \markup\combine\arrow-head #Y #DOWN ##f \override #'(thickness . 1.3) \draw-line #'(0 . 2)
% Golpe symbol :
golpe = \markup {
  \filled-box #'(0 . 1) #'(0 . 1) #0
  \hspace #-1.6
  \with-color #white
  \filled-box #'(0.15 . 0.85) #'(0.15 . 0.85) #0
}
% Strokes, fingers and golpe command :
RHp = \rightHandFinger #1
RHi = \rightHandFinger #2
RHm = \rightHandFinger #3
RHa = \rightHandFinger #4
RHx = \rightHandFinger #5
RHu = \rightHandFinger \strokeUp
RHd = \rightHandFinger \strokeDown
RHg = \rightHandFinger \golpe

{ <e c' e' g' c'' e''\RHd>8 <e c' e' g' c'' e''\RHu> <e c' e' g' c'' e''\RHd><e c' e' g' c'' e''\RHu> <e c' e' g' c'' e''\RHd>4 }

I get perfectly-aligned arrows, a.k.a. I can’t reproduce the result you’re seeing.

Cheers,
Kieren.
