Hi all, I wanted to customize the default appearance of the MetronomeMark. I wrote some little functions to achieve that and I used them a lot in my recent works.
But now, I have in mind to prepare a new style sheet for which I would like to avoid as much as possible my customized function, but use instead the orginial lilypond syntax with a corrected appearance. This kind of subject has been discussed recently about the ottava marks: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/ottava-signs-td224009.html I would like to do the same now with MetronomeMarks. Here is the exemple to demonstrate what I would like to achieve: \version "2.19.82" #(define-markup-command (metronomeText layout props text note number) (string? string? string?) (interpret-markup layout props #{ \markup { #text \hspace #0.25 \medium { \general-align #Y #DOWN \fontsize #-4 \note #note #1 \fontsize #-2 \sans \raise #0.2 = \hspace #-0.2 \fontsize #-2 \bold #number } } #})) \paper { % uncomment if you have Old Standard TT installed % Global Fonts %{ #(define fonts (set-global-fonts #:roman "Old Standard TT" )) %} #(set-paper-size "a6") } \score { \relative c' { \tempo "Presto" 4 = 100 c2^"default" e4 g c1 } } \score { \relative c' { \tempo \markup \metronomeText "Presto" "4" "100" c2 e4 g c1 } } metronome.pdf <http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/file/t5604/metronome.pdf> --- I personally change the roman font to Old Standard and the default result for the MetronomeMark is quite ugly (in my opinion): 1. The Metronome indication is too big 2. I don't necessary like the parentheses and it should be set as an option 3. The note is too big. A traditional practice seems to keep the notehead big and shorten the stem in order that it doesn't raise too far above the text. 4. The equal sign is too big That's the reason I tried to write the small function above "metronomeText" but I would like to know if it is possible to incorporate this better in LP code, which will allow the use of the standard \tempo command ? It would also be possible for the midi to interpret it because now it cannot. This force me to use two separate \tempo command, combined with specific tags, one for the layout and one for the midi which is kind of annoying... I looked in the .ly repertory but I wasn't able to find where those \tempo shortcuts were defined... A little help would be muchly appreciated, thanks! -- Sent from: http://lilypond.1069038.n5.nabble.com/User-f3.html _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
