Hi Paolo, How about: breatheWithFermata = #(define-music-function (parser location offs) (number?) #{ \override BreathingSign.Y-offset = $offs \override BreathingSign.text = \markup { \override #'(baseline-skip . 1) \center-column { \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" \abs-fontsize #24 "," } } \breathe #})
{ c'2. % construct the symbol \breatheWithFermata #4 c'4 } Cheers, Pierre Le dim. 7 juin 2020 à 20:12, Paolo Prete <paolopr...@gmail.com> a écrit : > Hello, > > I'm trying to create a breath with a fermata (quite common in contemporary > music). > > Here is what I tried: > > %%%%%%%%% > > breatheWithFermata = #(define-music-function (parser location offs) > (number?) > #{ > \override BreathingSign.Y-offset = $offs > \override BreathingSign.text = \markup { > \column { > \musicglyph #"scripts.ufermata" > \abs-fontsize #24 "," > } > } > \breathe > #}) > > { > c'2. > % construct the symbol > \breatheWithFermata #6 > c'4 > } > > %%%%%%%%% > > I'm not sure this is the right way to achieve the symbol but, anyway, how > can I > > 1) fix the alignment between the text "," and the fermata (so that they > appear centered)? > 2) remove the vertical gap between the the text "," and the fermata > > Many thanks! > > > > >
