According to the documentation, http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.8/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals/Stanza_005fnumber_005fengraver.html#Stanza_005fnumber_005fengraver you can specify a markup as the argument. However, when I look at the implementation, it seems that it's only possible to specify a string. So, we have a bug, either in the implementation or in the documentation. Of course, the best thing would be to fix the implementation so that you can specify a markup.
Note also that there's an additional complication, namely that you have to do some tricks to avoid the "syntax error" which you get for example with: \new Lyrics \lyricsto mymelody {\set stanza = \markup{ \italic "2."} ... } One solution is to do \new Lyrics \with {\set stanza = \markup{ \italic "2."} } \lyricsto mymelody { ... } Still, as I already said, the markup will be ignored for the moment. /Mats zrlaszlo wrote:
Hi, I would like to ask all of you, if there is a possibility to format Stanza Numbers using \markup commands (e. g. entering special characters, altering font-name, font-size, etc.), and altering their position relative to the lyrics (X or Y). If yes, which is the way to do it?
