Thanks for the suggestion, but what I need is to leave more space before the first footnote text. I have made progress: the bug arises only when you don't have a superscript, (e.g. when you are not using the numbering) **and** when you have the footnote markup text long enough to extend underneath the horizontal text. You can see this if you take the only example in the documentation
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/creating-footnotes that does not use a superscript and extend the line of text: \book { \header { tagline = ##f } \relative c' { \footnote "*" #'(0.5 . -2) \markup { \italic "* The first note - with this footnote text extending a long way across the page .... is too close to the line above" } a'4 b8 \footnote \markup { \super "$" } #'(0.5 . 1) \markup { \super "$" \italic " The second note" } e c4 \once \override Score.FootnoteItem #'annotation-line = ##f b-\footnote \markup \tiny "+" #'(0.1 . 0.1) \markup { \super "+" \italic " Editorial" } \p } } With the first footnote line extended the hline is unpleasantly close to the text. The workaround it to include a superscript :) Richard On Wed, 2013-04-03 at 07:08 +1100, Nick Payne wrote: > On 03/04/13 06:24, Richard Shann wrote: > > I've found that the line dividing the footnote from the music is rather > > close to the footnote text. > > I can see I need to override this definition > > > > footnote-separator-markup = \markup \fill-line { \override #'(span-factor . > > 1/2) \draw-hline } > > > > but I can't see what to add to provide more space under the line ... any > > suggestions? > > Just use \vspace within the footnote markup. eg: > > \version "2.17.15" > > \relative f' { > \footnote "*" #'(2 . -1) \markup\teeny { \column { \left-align { \line { > \concat { \vspace #1 \lower #0.8 \super { * } > "At this point the performer may insert an improvisation in the > form of a " > \italic "Cadenza furiosa" } } \line { " " } } } } c4 > } > > _______________________________________________ > lilypond-user mailing list > lilypond-user@gnu.org > https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
