Hi all
I'm trying to format directly in LilyPond an interview (the single
text only part of a book). I don't want to use lilypond-book and LaTeX
just because of this minor part of the book.
I've two questions:
1) There's any way to place the text on two columns AND let LilyPond
reflow it depending on the available space on the page?
The documentation contains an example where you must decide in advance
what goes into column left and what into column right. I'd like to
avoid this.
No, Lily can’t currently typeset in multiple columns. I’m surprised to
see that there is no feature request in the tracker. This should be
available both as a paper variable (say \paper { columns = 2 }) and as a
markup command/markup list command(?).
2) I'm trying to create a shortcut for formatting the question and the
answer.
I wonder if the new \etc can be used for this purpose or should I
rather create a markup function.
IIUC, \etc can only be used for music functions (at least until now…
:-)). So you need a custom markup or markup list command.
Yours, Simon
I've tried the following but it fails immediately when it evaluates
the definitions:
\version "2.19.31"
question = \markuplist \justified-lines \bold \etc
answer = \markuplist \justified-lines \etc
\markuplist {
\justified-lines \bold {
