Dear Neil,
your tweak of the score inside markup is indeed a GREAT improvement. I
altered the scm/define-markup-commands.scm according to you suggestion and
the score inside markuplines is now split into multiple lines as necessary.
Nevertheless, for flawless output, I can see still one problem, regarding
the start of the staff. The staff always begins at the start of a new line,
leaving the previous line of the text half empty. This is not the case when
the music is very short: then it is exactly in-line (i.e. staying at the
same line as the surrounding text), but when the music is multi-line, it
always tends to start at a new line. This is not so big problem, but when
you need justified lines in the markupblock - and you do need justified
lines in a top-quality publication - then this will ruin the half-empty line
before the score, since the words will be spaced very wide apart (please see
the appended example). This is not quite acceptable. Either I would need to
let the last text line before the music ragged, or - better - I would need
the staff to start exactly at the same line with the text to fill the rest
of the half empty line, and only then break to a second line. This would be
the most perfect solution. Is this possible, or am I asking too much?
Also, please forgive my inability with Lilypond - I did read the
documentation for the vertical spacing - but I still did not figure out how
to make the systems inside the markuplines block appear closer together. As
you can see from the example below, I was trying \override VerticalAxisGroup
#'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0), also between-system-padding = #0.0 and
between-system-space = #0.0 and still, the staves are wider spaced than
necessary. At best, the system vertical spacing should imitate the tight
spacing of the lines of the surrounding text. Any help appreciated.
%begin Lily - Example
\version "2.12.2"
\markuplines {
\justified-lines {
the inline music:
\vcenter
\score { \new Staff \relative c'
{ \repeat unfold 12 {r4 a d f a d f2} }
\layout {
indent = 0.0\cm
\context {
\Staff
fontSize = #-12
\override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0)
\override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -12)
\override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -12)
\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
}
\context {
\Score
\remove "Bar_number_engraver"
between-system-padding = #0.0
between-system-space = #0.0
}
}
}
the text continues after the music...
}
}
%end Lily - Example
