Hi again, below is a slight improvement of the previous version which saves you from typing the whole function definition over and over again just to change the markup text. The function 'hairpinWithCenteredText' takes a single markup as argument. The usage should be straightforward (see the example).
Max %%% begin code %%% hairpinWithCenteredText = #(define-music-function (parser location text) (markup?) #{ \override Voice.Hairpin #'stencil = #(lambda (grob) (let ((ext (ly:stencil-extent (ly:hairpin::print grob) 0))) (ly:stencil-combine-at-edge (ly:stencil-aligned-to (ly:hairpin::print grob) 0 -1) 1 -1 (ly:stencil-translate-axis (ly:stencil-aligned-to (ly:text-interface::print grob) 0 0) (/ (- (cdr ext) (car ext)) 2) 0)))) \override Voice.Hairpin #'text = $text #}) hairpinMolto = \hairpinWithCenteredText \markup {\italic "molto"} hairpinMore = \hairpinWithCenteredText \markup {\bigger "moltissimo"} \new Staff { \hairpinMolto c'2\< c'2\f \hairpinMore c'2\< c'2\f } %%% end code %%% _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
