Hello all,
Hopefully this is a “softball”…
I often have long-ish composition titles like "Two Ukrainian Courting Tunes: A
Minuet & Scherzo”. When I am putting the title in the header (e.g., at the top
of the score), I'd like it in a single line; when it’s used in the
bookTitleMarkup and scoreTitleMarkup, I’d like it split [naturally] into its
two lines.
Of course, I could write it out in several different variables and manipulate
each of them individually. Or I could fuss with non-breaking spaces and the
like. But I’d rather not.
I’d rather do something like
title = #'(Two Ukrainian Courting Tunes:" "A Minuet & Scherzo”)
and then be able to say
\markup \one-line \title
\markup \multi-line \title
or whatever.
What do people see as the most flexible, least user-unfriendly way of storing
and outputting such things?
Ideally, this would scale well to texts of three and more lines.
Thanks,
Kieren.
