When rotating markups they are by default rotated by their center,
seemingly resulting in a horizontal shift (by half their width):
{
c'2 ^\markup \rotate #90 "This is a long markup" c
}
This can be handled by overriding the self-alignment-X property:
{
\override TextScript.self-alignment-X = #LEFT
c'2 ^\markup \rotate #90 "This is a long markup" c
}
Now I want to pack this rotated text in a markup function and wrote this:
#(define-markup-command (verticalText layout props text)(markup?)
(interpret-markup layout props
#{ \markup \rotate #90 #text #}))
{
c'2 ^\markup \verticalText "This is a long markup"
}
which brings me to the original result of the shifted markup.
I don't seem to find a way how to incorporate the override into a markup
command. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Urs
