Hi Stacy,
Here is a excerpt of a score, including a markup with a score inside (version 2.16.2) : d1 ~d8 fis8 gis8 ^\footnote \markup \tiny "See footnote" #'(-.1 . .1) \markup { \lower #0.8 { \super { * } } "Original:" \left-align \score { \new Staff \with { \remove "Time_signature_engraver" fontSize = #-4 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -4) \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -4) %firstClef = ##f } \relative do' { \time 2/1 \clef treble \bar"|" d2. fis4 gis a b d, } \layout { indent = 0\cm ragged-last = ##t } } } [ \melisma a8] b4 d, \melismaEnd d1 HTH Rémy > Message du 17/11/19 02:34 > De : "Carl Sorensen" > A : "Stacy Fatemi" , "lilypond-user@gnu.org" > Copie à : > Objet : Re: Critical-edition-style footnotes > > From: Stacy Fatemi > Date: Saturday, November 16, 2019 at 12:57 PM > To: > Subject: Critical-edition-style footnotes Hey all, I’ve been wanting to add footnotes to a score that include miniature-sized scores like in this critical edition of Pictures at an Exhibition. I know \score can be contained within \markup and I know EPS files can be embedded, but what’s the simplest solution? How do you get something elegantly spaced like in the attached picture? Thank you! Scores can be placed in markups. HTH, Carl
