Hi David, thanks. That was a silly error in my post. I did try the _ and it
didn't work.
In frustration I changed it to a ^ to see if changing the padding worked only
in one direction
Keeping it this way
c4.\DB^\markup{\center-align \larger \triangle ##t}
I used this standard function
padText =
#(define-music-function (parser location padding) (number?) #{ \once \override
TextScript #'padding = #$padding #})
Using this certainly changed padding for symbols like an upbow and a
downbow but the position of the triangle was invariant.
I'm not sure if one could use a negative quantity for this pad function but
that
didn't work either.
Maybe the the triangle is some other object that does not belong to
"TextScript" but some other named group of objects ?
What Id like is, with
c4.\DB_\markup{\center-align \larger \triangle ##t}
the triangle to be a fixed distance below the stave that I can choose.
I looked at the manual but couldn't find anything, perhaps its a non standard
thing to do.
