Relative Positioning of String to stick together closer.

[jsmorley]

Code: Select all

[MeasureSong]
Measure=String
String=The Long and Winding Road

[MeasureAlbum]
Measure=String
String=Paul McCartney

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureSong
InlineSetting=Size | 15
InlineSetting2=Color | 52,181,40,255
InlineSetting3=Weight | 700
W=150
ClipString=2
ClipStringH=45
AntiAlias=1

[MeterTwo]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureAlbum
Y=0R
InlineSetting=Size | 12
InlineSetting2=Color | 40,148,181,255
W=150
ClipString=2
ClipStringH=45
AntiAlias=1

You could use ClipString=2 and ClipStringH to set a "maximum" height, while not forcing a particular height.

Code: Select all

[MeterOne]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureSong
InlineSetting=Size | 15
W=150
ClipString=2
ClipStringH=45
AntiAlias=1

[MeterTwo]
Meter=String
MeasureName=MeasureAlbum
Y=0R
InlineSetting=Size | 12
W=150
ClipString=2
ClipStringH=45
AntiAlias=1

That didn't seem to work..

You need to adjust ClipStringH so that the "maximum" is at least tall enough to hold an entire 2, 3, 4 lines as you wish. If it is even one pixel too "short" to fit the entire character (which will depend on the size of the font you use) it will not "wrap". Be sure you don't have a conflict between FontSize in your MeterStyle, and the InlineSetting on the meter.

Sorry jsmorley to partially derail the thread, however, I have a question regarding InlineSetting.

Maybe I miss something, but I was trying to manage the line spacing using InlineSetting and it's not possible: I'm I wrong?

There is no setting for line or paragraph spacing available. That is entirely controlled by the metrics of the font itself.

Set it to 100 , 500 , 1000 (LOL) still didn't work...

Make sure you have ClipString=2 and not ClipString=1

In a conflict like that, "first wins".
