Subject: Re: How do I use \tag? (lyuser: message 5 of 20)
Hello Trevor
bla = -\markup { Bla }
melody = \relative c'' {
c4 d e f ^\bla
c4 d e f ^\tag #'a \bla % (1)
}
\keepWithTag #'a \melody
\removeWithTag #'a \melody
Hopefully this works in 2.18 too.
Yes, it works :) Thank you! Could you please point me to the
documentation of the '-' that you used instead of my '^'? (Or explain it
to me)?
I would like to understand the difference, not just copy/paste it...
The three direction indicators, ^, - and _ , are explained here:
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.19/Documentation/notation/direction-and-placement
The main problem with your original post was not using a "^" instead
of a "-", but not
having a direction indicator of any sort before the \markup command.
Markus, I was going to direct you to the learning manual in order to get
a systematic grasp of the fundamental concepts, and indeed that is the
best you can do to avoid problems like this: read it carefully, and
probably more than once.
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/learning/index>
However, it seems that this is a rare blind spot in the LM: the function
of the - is explained for fingering and articulations, briefly mentioned
for tweaks on articulations, but not mentioned for text scripts. That
should probably get a tracker issue, shouldn’t it?
Best, Simon
