Hello, Having upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7.something, I had a look to the new markups, as many messages in this list reported that it was a big improvement. (They were not lying.)
I looked for a scheme user interface, so that I could build markups in scheme functions. In a comment, it is said that is left as an exercise to the reader. But maybe I missed something? Anyway, I have written a `markup' macro in scheme, which builds text markups. As it might interest someone else, it is put here: http://nicolas.sceaux.free.fr/lilypond/scheme-hacks.html The `text markups' section explains how to use them: \markup { \bold "Dal" " " \raise #0.8 \musicglyph #"scripts-segno" } === #(markup (#:bold "Dal") " " (#:raise 0.8 (#:musicglyph "scripts-segno"))) It allows the user to define functions that build markups, which is usefull for large scores, where they can help making sort of stylesheets. ------- #(define* (character name #:optional scenical (translation (cons -3 2))) (if scenical (markup (#:translate translation (#:line (#:large (#:bold (make-simple-markup (string-capitalize name)))) (#:italic (make-simple-markup scenical))))) (markup (#:translate translation (#:large (#:bold (make-simple-markup (string-append (string-capitalize name) ".")))))))) \score { \context Staff { \notes { \clef bass c^#(character "cesare") c c c c c c c c^#(character "cleopatra" "(entra.)") c c c c c c } } } The generated markups are equivalent to: \markup \translate #(cons -3 2) { \large \bold "Cesare." } \markup \translate #(cons -3 2) { \large \bold "Cleopatra" \italic "(entra.)" } Regards, nicolas sceaux _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
