interwordspacetext not taken into account for bars

[eroux]

With the following example:

\documentclass[11pt]{article} % use larger type; default would be 10pt
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper}
\usepackage{gregoriotex}
\usepackage{libertine}
\begin{document}
\gresetbarspacing{new}
\gresetlastline{ragged}
\gresetinitiallines{0}
\gabcsnippet{(c3) am<v>\hbox to 0pt{\hss\rule{0.1mm}{3mm}}</v>(g) <v>\hbox to 0pt{\rule{0.1mm}{3mm}\hss}</v>E(g.) am<v>\hbox to 0pt{\hss\rule{0.1mm}{3mm}}</v>(g) (::) <v>\hbox to 0pt{\rule{0.1mm}{3mm}\hss}</v>E(j)}
\end{document}

I get

in which the space between 'am' and 'E' seems to be less than interwordspacetext (between the texts of the syllables around the bar)... @rpspringuel do you have time to inspect that? (this is quite high priority)

[rpspringuel]

This behavior is because interwordspacetext@bars (0.15cm) is smaller than interwordspacetext (0.38cm) to the point that the spacing around the bar is becoming the requirement that has to be met. Indeed, interwordspacetext is not utilized at all in calculating the spacing for a bar syllable. Do you want me to institute a floor on the require space for the text equal to interwordspacetext?

[eroux]

Thanks for inspecting! Well, I admit I'm a bit puzzled... In this case, interwordspacetext is definitely a better value than interwordspacetext@bars, but maybe there should be an even higher value, maybe a new interwordspacetext@bars@notext? Looks like the most logical option here...

[eroux]

(Just to be clear, this new interwordspacetext@bars@notext should be used instead of interwordspacetext@bars when there is no text associated with the bar)

[eroux]

Thinking back about it, I think interwordspacetext@bars and interwordspacetext@bars@notext should probably be set on a per-bar-type basis... Does that sound reasonable?

[eroux]

Well, the per-bar-type interwordspacetext will be for 5.0 I guess, the change would be too big...

[rpspringuel]

I'm working on implementing this and should have something posted in an hour or so.

For 5.0, I would not make this dependent on bar type. The spacing around the bar itself is already dependent on bar type. This has to do with the text, not the bar.

[eroux]

Thanks a lot! Well, I thought like you at the beginning but if you take (admittedly extreme) cases like testtttttttttttttttttttttttt(g) (,) g(g) and testtttttttttttttttttttttttt(g) (::) g(g) I think it would be normal that the second case have more space between the text of the two syllables... isn't it?
