I realize this is a stupid question, but I've searched the manual and I don't
see a quick example of how to use variables for markup. So I'm stabbing in the
dark and nothing is working.
text-vars.ily:
\version "2.24.4"
\language "english"
titlepage = {
\markup \fill-line \center-column {
\vspace #10
\abs-fontsize #48 "(Title)"
\vspace #5
\abs-fontsize #24 "for woodwind quintet and fixed media"
\vspace #1
\abs-fontsize #12 "c. 12'"
}
}
front-matter-test.ly:
\version "2.24.4"
\language "english"
\include "../common/text-vars.ily"
\markup { \titlepage }
And none of the markup commands are recognized as markup commands.
This seems a pretty basic requirement? E.g., to have front matter that is
printed in the score and repeated in parts. Maybe I'm just dense but it isn't
revealing itself in the documentation very easily.
For now I can write the markups directly in the -test file and copy/paste
later, but I'd like to use variables.
Consider this an enhancement request for the documentation to make this easier
to discover.
