Greetings,
A question on usage...
I have been having difficulty in coming to grips with the commands to
move musical elements, markups, etc from their default positions.
The accompanying example shows what I've been trying to do and the way I
managed it.
Advice is sought and comments on whether what I've done is 'the' way to
do it, and if there are better ways.
The usage of \vspace and \hspace within a \markup command don't seem to
be similar in their action when one ( I ) would assume that since \hspce
moves the markup horizontally, \vspace would move it vertically.
See also my notes in the ly file
A question on program development...
Would it be possible to make 'moving' commands consistent in their
syntax and place of application so that e.g. one would write
\markup { \move#H:V "Text" }
(where H and V are the horizontal and vertical distances from the
default position in some reasonable unit: mm, allowing the use of
decimals - say 5.7:6.3 for example)
to move the word "Text"
- and make the command work for all objects both in and outside the
staff except, of course, notes.
- and without the need for users to write clever Scheme things
(I'm 'not' a programmer!) :)
Thank you for your help with this.
Bill
