Although I have to admit with great respect to the creators of Lilypond that the software is capable of doing magic things. My deepest reverence towards the authors of Lilypond. Nevertheless, I have still good hope that there might be an able scheme coder who could find the function making the score to jump to the start of a new line when it is a longer excerpt and disable it for me. I am so sorry that I did not study computer science so that I would understand scheme coding, but to my greatest misfortune it is above my capabiblities. I am alone to be blamed for this, but this is the reason that I am looking for someone to help.

Do you know that http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-lilyp...@gnu.org/msg13795.html I offered sponsorship for someone who would built footnotes into the Lilypond? THere was even a rich man who promissed to make a double match for footnotes to be programmed. I would be most delighted if you took up the challenge! Of course, complete markup and score (breakable at any point) and freely mixable with the text should be native to lilypond footnotes.

For me it would be beneficial, if music would finish at the start of a line, then few words of a text, and then new excerpt starting - better than when the new exceprt starts a new line, disturbing the justified half-empty line above. This is exacly my goal: making from the music and the text something like one uninterrupted flow which would go from one line to another. If this function is built into Lilypond for a single line, if we have multi-line markuplines, if we now have multi-line score inside it, then it should be minimum effort to make it function for more than one line. We are almost there, it is enough - in my humble opinion - to disable the function which instructs the longer score to start a new line. If you wish, I am offering sponsorhip for this function. Again, help is appreciated and just ask for reward if it is not a trivial task. Although I am not really rich man, I would try hard to meet your requirements.

For a single line, the stretchability works extremely well (see the appended example). Why should it not work for more than one line? With the best wishes and best hopes, Jiri Zurek %begin lilypond example \version "2.12.2" \markuplines { \justified-lines { 1st manuscript variant: \vcenter \score { << \new Voice = "cantus" { \clef "G_8" f g c'( d') e' } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "cantus" { A -- ve, ve -- rum } >> \layout { indent = 0.0\cm \context { \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0) fontSize = #-7 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -7) \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -7) } \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'font-size = #-4 \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0 . 0) } } } and so on; consider 2nd manuscript variant: \vcenter \score { << \new Voice = "cant" { \clef "G_8" f4 a4 c' (d') } \new Lyrics \lyricsto "cant" { A -- ve, -- ve. } >> \layout { indent = 0.0\cm \context { \Staff \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(0 . 0) fontSize = #-7 \override StaffSymbol #'staff-space = #(magstep -7) \override StaffSymbol #'thickness = #(magstep -7) } \context { \Lyrics \override LyricText #'font-size = #-4 \override VerticalAxisGroup #'minimum-Y-extent = #'(-0 . 0) } } } and so on... no problem with short excerpts. They are perfectly inline, music and the text. } } %end lilypond example http://old.nabble.com/file/p26129806/Komentar_s_notama_vice.pdf Komentar_s_notama_vice.pdf -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Inline-score-inside-markup---bugs-in-music-alignment-tp26111727p26129806.html Sent from the Gnu - Lilypond - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
