Dear Han-Wen and Jan,
First, thank you for writing such a wonderful program, and so generously making it
available. The lilypond output is truly beautiful, and I haven't found any commercial
software which can rival lilypond or your lovely feta font.
I've been able to get quite far with the existing documentation, but I now find myself
stuck, and have not seen this specific question covered on the mailing list. (Please
forgive me if it has, I've only been reading the list for two months)
Here goes...
As you will see, my fermata collides with a slur and a tie. I would like to raise the
fermata slightly, as is easily possible with other grobs (ex. BarNumber and the
padding parameter).
As best as I can determine, the fermata is not really a grob, but part of the
collection of Articulation grobs.
I've found examples of using ^ and _ to force positioning of these elements, but so
far have had no joy in using them with the fermata.
I would like to avoid forcing the slurs to below, and have seen the raised fermata
solve the problem in professionally typeset music.
Grateful for any clues, and thanks again for making Lily,
Pete Farmer
